PROJECT BACKGROUND
In the last quarter of 2008, the SM Group of Companies acquired a majority stake in the National University, elevating its status as a prominent educational institution. With strong support from the SM Group, the university has placed a strong emphasis on academic excellence. This includes the construction of new buildings, improvements in laboratories, and continuous modernization initiatives for facilities, faculty, and sports development. These efforts have contributed to enhancing the overall educationalexperienceattheNationalUniversity.

General Trias covers anareaof81.46squarekilometers.
Establishing the campus along Sequoia ParkandGTBoulevardinGeneralTrias Cavite is a wise decision because it is surrounded by tourist, commercial, and housingestablishments.
SUNRISE
UWC MAHINDRA COLLEGE
The self-sufficient campus is located in the Sahayadi Mountains, about one hundred kilometers southeast of Mumbai on a plateau three hundred feet above the Mula river basin. It is surounded by mountainsaboveit,composingpartoftheWesternGhatsrange.Itisaruggedlandscapehistorically known for its mountain top forts and water lift system from the river; a water purification plant; a rural electrification grid, backed by transformers and generators, infernal distribution cables; a sewagetreatmentplant;andanindependentsatelitelinkforcommunications.Thus,thecampusisa self-sufficientresidentialcommunity.
The theme of the college is global unity and understanding, while respecting the uniqueness and contributions of various communities. The student body and faculty are represented by about fifty counties and from various communities. The campus plan is divided info an academic area and a residential“village”.
The academic area is organized around the intersection of two axes: the auspicious North-south axis leading from main gate, or Mahadwara, past the Administration and Science center, info the Academic Quadrangle and down the Amphitheatre ramp and stair into the Multi-purpose hall. From the catering Center at the East, one moves through a narrow passages info the Academic Quadrangle and down a generous podium of steps, ottas, info the Sunset lawn, which is framed by theArtsCenterandthelibrary.Thisaxisalongthesun'sarchfromdawntodusk,isaconstant playofshadeandshadow.
Residential campus, about § minutes walk from academic area is organized in the traditional Indian village pattern, with a central community focus (Student comer) and hamlets clustered around it. Each hamlet, or wadi as they call it, has ifs own entrance gate and its own community centre with a small amphitheatre. From this area a faculty garden-court spreads on one side and a student garden-court from the other, around which cottages are clustered into the contours.

Campus is bound together by a strict systemofdimensions,proportionsanda highly consistent visual language. It is a manner in which the supporting elements within the language interact that adds variety and intrigue. Columns and walls are used as counterpoints; square windows in heavy masonry lend playfulness to serious mass. The four openings of the academic quadrangle are aligned to the four cardinal directions of the earth. Coming info quadrangle from east, one's fine of vision focuses along a narrow passage and through a square opening which frames a view of Mulshi lake, the vista uninterrupted by running between the libraryandartscenter.
NATIONAL INSITITUTE OF FASHION TECHNOLOGY
National Institute of Fashion Design, located at Kangra, Himachal Pradesh; was commissioned to us as a winning entry during a National Level competition in 2009. The entire masterplan as a zero discharge'Green'campusistobeconstructedonasteephillyterrainwithintheexistingoldbanyan, mangoandsilveroaktrees.
The concept for the NIFT Kangra begins with understanding fashion design as an art form, expressed through a combination of visual graphic with textural quality. We chose to weave the buildingwiththesurroundingcontext;avisualgraphicofagriculturalfieldsrichintexturaldepthand variations, as a natural growth, where paths in the forests grow into the streets of a future urban fabricandthefieldstranslateintourbanfootprints.
The knitting threads drawn from the existing agricultural terraces, were woven together to make a uniformly flowing pattern of many intersecting functional cuboids. The pattern closely follows the site contours, and the design then develops vertically; as an abstraction of the way the Great Himalayas developed, layers of matter folding onto each other, twisting with sudden forces, leaving in between gaps or cracks in the process, that become the passages and places of various kinds of interactions.
The vehicular circulation is through a road abutting the site boundary leading to the basement parking.
The double height entrance gateway gives way to the academic as well as administrative block reached by a series of steps. the gateway opens up to the Kund from where entrance crowd disperse into the campus structures. Courtyards are encircled by wide passage to facilitate pedestrianmovement.
Different blocks of building complex are placed according to the site lines. all the peripheral buildinglinesareparalleltothesitelines.
Proper segregation of functions as building blocks are placed in certain set of zones which is determine by the function and character of the buildingblock.
The planning revolved around the two court - the sunken court with a stepped Kund and the amphitheatre. All functions are zoned in closed proximitytoeachother.
Between the academic and the library block is a blockthatconsistofliftsforverticalcirculation.

Dividing and categorizing facilities and arranging them into different respective zoning help in navigating and organization of a university. Similar and related areas should always be placed with each other or at least adjacent tooneanother sothat therewill bea seamless flow and efficiency when it comes to executing activities.

ACCESIBILITY
CREATING AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT THAT ACCOMMODATES INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES. IT ENCOMPASSES FEATURES SUCH AS WHEELCHAIR RAMPS, ELEVATORS, AND ACCESSIBLE RESTROOMS. BY PRIORITIZING ACCESSIBILITY, THE UNIVERSITY ENSURES EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL STUDENTS, STAFF, AND VISITORS TO NAVIGATE AND PARTICIPATE IN CAMPUS LIFE.
NATURAL LIGHT AND VENTILATION
INCORPORATING AMPLE WINDOWS, SKYLIGHTS, AND OPEN SPACES TO MAXIMIZE THE USE OF NATURAL SUNLIGHT AND FRESH AIR. THIS PROMOTES A HEALTHIER AND MORE PRODUCTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, REDUCES ENERGY CONSUMPTION, AND ENHANCES THE OVERALL WELL-BEING AND COMFORT OF STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND STAFF.
COMPLIANCE TO LAW
COMPLIANCE WITH PHILIPPINE LAWS, SUCH AS BP 344 (ACCESSIBILITY LAW) AND THE BUILDING CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES, IS CRUCIAL WHEN PLANNING A UNIVERSITY. THESE REGULATIONS ENSURE ACCESSIBILITY FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES AND ADHERENCE TO SAFETY STANDARDS, RESPECTIVELY. COMPLIANCE ENSURES A SAFE AND INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY PREMISES.
SUSTAINABILITY
INCORPORATING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS SUCH AS GREEN DRAINAGE SYSTEMS AND PHOTOVOLTAIC GLASS. GREEN DRAINAGE SYSTEMS MINIMIZE WATER WASTE AND POLLUTION, WHILE PHOTOVOLTAIC GLASS HARNESSES SOLAR ENERGY FOR POWER GENERATION. THESE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY, ENERGY EFFICIENCY, AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL SUSTAINABILITY GOALS OF THE UNIVERSITY.
CULTURE
INCORPORATING ELEMENTS THAT REFLECT THE COUNTRY'S RICH HERITAGE AND TRADITIONS. THIS INCLUDE ARCHITECTURAL MOTIFS, ARTWORK, CULTURAL SPACES, AND PROGRAMS THAT CELEBRATE FILIPINO CUSTOMS, LANGUAGES, AND ARTS. IT PROMOTES CULTURAL PRIDE, DIVERSITY, AND A SENSE OF BELONGING AMONG STUDENTS AND THE COMMUNITY.
AESTHETIC
CREATING AN APPEALING AND VISUALLY PLEASING ENVIRONMENT. IT ENCOMPASSES ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, LANDSCAPING, AND INTERIOR AESTHETICS THAT EVOKE A SENSE OF BEAUTY, HARMONY, AND INSPIRATION. AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS ENHANCE THE OVERALL ATMOSPHERE OF THE CAMPUS, CONTRIBUTING TO A POSITIVE AND ENGAGING EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND VISITORS.
INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY
INTEGRATING CUTTING-EDGE SOLUTIONS TO ENHANCE THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. THIS INCLUDE SMART CLASSROOMS, ADVANCED MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS, VIRTUAL REALITY, AND INTERACTIVE LEARNING TOOLS. BY EMBRACING INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY, UNIVERSITIES PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH MODERN RESOURCES AND FOSTER A DYNAMIC, FUTURE-READY EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE.
SAFETY AND SECURITY
THE WELFARE OF THE USERS MUST BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. THEREFORE, THE DESIGN MUST ENSURE THEIR SAFETY AND SECURITY AT ALL TIME.
