Abstract

Generations through generations, human has passed on their knowledge for the greater good of humanity and civilization.

Education has become inevitable and will continue to be passed on, only the method and process will keep on changing.

The Indian system had started with the gurukul system and now education takes place digitally through laptops, tablets along with the conventional methods of blackboard and textbooks.

Technological advancement, the increasing educational access lead to a never-ending change in the educational process.

Land acquisition is another major issue to create a social community campus for the future generation. If the educational process will never cease to stop then it is impossible to create a permanent campus where changes might lead to waste of money, time, and energy. The future of education also depicts that where everything will be controlled by artificial intelligence, humans are no more required in laborious skills. Humans need to develop cognitive, managerial skills as well as designing skills.

To create a campus for the 21st century, the thesis will be looking into the design of the master plan of IIM Nagpur, which is located in a prime location of India offering management courses, which is important for future generations to consider.

The thesis research through literature study, case studies of old and new business schools will help create a 21st-century campus with technological advancement. The campus will have enough space for systematic future development along with flexible classroom spaces that can be integrated with the latest technologies.

Indian Institute of Management Nagpur

The goal is to design campuses for the 21st century respecting the nature, flexible with the use of modern technology and absorbing the future growth and expansion, keeping in mind the land crisis of the future. The aim is to design future universities without forgetting the need of a socially-centered campus design providing the sense of community.

Need Identification Smart Campus Planning Campuses all over the world are hubs of students and scholars learning and exploring new knowledge. Universities not only aid the students to acquire skills and concepts for their future careers, but also support them socially and emotionally throughout their educational journeys. The changing times has also changed the ways of learning and teaching process.

The changing systems and educational needs

New possibilities New courses

Increasing intake of students

Tech advancements will never cease

The open gurukul classrooms have changed into the closed classroom complexes changing the spatial needs.

The courses known to the students have kept on increasing as the generations have passed on.

Each course has its own spatial requirements.

Enrollment of students have kept on increasing due to the spread of awareness of educational rights and increase in population.

Blackboards and books are getting replaced by smartboards and laptops, pads and hence the needs of the space.

.....and hence campus planning also needs to change constantly to keep develop along with these factors.

This thesis will try to find solution for the 21st century campuses.

In order to design test the proposition a national importance campus has been chosen. The project looks into designing a future absorptive campus for the Indian Institute of Management, Nagpur complying with the proposition stated.

The Indian Institute of Management, Nagpur has been located in the MIHAN zone (Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur) according to the MIHAN master plan.

A large site area of 132.79 Acres has been proposed for the project providing the opportunity to achieve the proposition of designing a smart campus which can absorb future growth of students and technologies.

Fig 1: Site survey plan

Understanding the proposition

Project Background Introduction to the project and areas under research

As the educational techniques, scopes change so does the institution and campus planning. The permanency in any architecture defies these changing requirements of an educational system. Planning of campus design needs to challenge the factor of permanency and bring in flexibility and scope of easy growth and expansion, along with being nature-responsive.

Campuses have a great impact on the social and emotional life of a student. Personal development plays an important role in creating a future. The need for ever increasing student strength also leads to a responsible campus design promoting a sense of community among the students and the faculty. Responsive campus planning catering to all these factors are necessary for the betterment of the students.

Areas under research 1. Effective Master planning A proper master plan keeping in mind for future expansion is necessary for the exponential growth of the students every year into an institute.

2. Flexible space designs equipped with modern technology Class room requirements for different courses may differ. Flexible classroom designs have the potential for different classroom layouts for different purposes leading in smart usage of spaces. Libraries which had huge areas with stored books are changing eventually with flexible interactive zones.

3. Active Interactive Zones Outdoor spill-out spaces, in between informal spaces have a great impact in the development of a student.

The efficiency is increased drastically due to such breakout spaces that connect to nature and leading to peer interactions.

University can be spelled as Uni-versity meaning one including all, a single, unified community of individuals of different experience living, working, and studying together to assimilate knowledge, improve skills, and develop character.

Unified community of individuals

The Definition of universities

A university campus should be a place where a student is confronted with realities of living and working with their people in an environment that provides a wide variety of conditions for the best kind of relationships. It thus sets the stage for the time when a student enters the mainstream of life, bears his own responsibility, and makes his contribution to society

Universities or the Institutions The transition to mass eduction The old Indian Gurukal system of teacher and disciple living together has

its recognized qualities and advantages. However, the scope of today’s knowledge, the number of students in relation to qualified teachers, economic factors, time limits, and the democratic idea of educating all who are qualified preclude such an ideal. The student of today would be extremely handicapped were it not for the immense, functionally planned, well-lighted, ventilated and equipped academic buildings and other physical amenities that form our finest university campuses.

Fig 4: Illustration of mass education

Thus in tensive mass education requires good architecture to provide an environment that will enhance the efficiency and well being of those involved.

The change of nature of campuses The definition of the campus university has changed time to time through the various years.

In India, physically separate colleges first affiliated under the “university” umbrella for mutual administrative advantages and uniformity of standards, including curricula, examinations and granting degrees. However, these physically separate colleges are do not provide all the benefits that a single university community does. Thus, there became a need for proximity of living and learning accommodations. Hence, promoted the development of the residential campus university though with wide variations in the percentage of students actually living on campus.

“The ideal campus”

The campus environment The components of a campus for the higher level education.

The campus is the physical environment created when buildings are constructed to allow the university idea to flourish. A university campus has been compared to a city on a small scale because it provides most of the needs for the university community except the fact that an university is a non commercial place and primarily for study .

A campus ought to be a closely knitted cluster of buildings with intimate pedestrian open spaces providing a unique environment for living and studying physical activities. An adequate campus courages social relationships of all kinds in student activity centers. It furnishes a place for literary, artistic, musical and dramatic occasions to culturally enrich the university community as a whole.

A place of inspiration and stimulation

“The ultimate size of campuses considered in 1980’s” The “ultimate” size was predetermined, the university often continued to grow beyond what was originally considered best. Higher density facilities are necessary to maintain the compactness of central campus.

A major controlling factor is Walking distance: - Ten minutes from hostel to class room is considered a maximum allowable walking distance - Three to five minutes is optimum.

The different styles of campuses Campus planning cannot be wholly categorized. It is easier to classify campuses by comparing the physical characteristics or form. Dober has broadly classified two categories for campus planning as follows.

Homogeneous

Heterogeneous

Campuses that are conceived as an entity in a kind of geometric pattern utilizing the same materials and forms consistently throughout. As defined by Dober, this style depends upon a closed ended system. In other words, it is conceived and built in total with only minor additional growth expected or tolerated.

Campuses are made up of individually designed buildings that are distinct entities not always in harmony with each other, nor providing strong enough background context to bring them together into a unified whole. This is characteristic of a majority of older campuses that have suffered under the hands of changing administrations and consecutive designers through the years. Such a style is certainly “open ended” and considerable growth occurs but, more often than not, very little direction is given for future growth.

Various factors that may determine design, approach and form, other than the philosophy and experience of the designer, are as follows as shown in the diagram below.

While pre-established patterns of an older campus which must be respected and complemented in further growth, often determine the form and approach, in the design of new campuses. The educational philosophy or the nature of the site usually has the greatest influence.

Robert Matthew, Johnson-Marshall & Partners, Architects, in their report, The Proposed University of Bath, suggest four basic patterns that might encompass most of the types in use.

Concentric Pattern of Growth The central area or “core” of the campus be comes tightly enclosed and successive rings of development shut in and prevent selective expansion.

Fig 11: Concentric pattern of Growth

The Zonal Pattern of Growth

Fig 12: Zonal pattern of Growth

The Molecular Pattern of Growth Growth accomplished through addition of self contain units or molecules, each a microcosm of the whole. The campus is complete at each stage of growth, but the system is perhaps limited to a many centered’ campus rather than a centralized type.

Fig 13: Molecular pattern of Growth

The Linear Pattern of Growth The central core can expand at either end as the University grows: existing elements extend outwards and grow independently of one another new ones are added to extensions of the core which never becomes shut in as in the concentric pattern.

Self-study alcoves: More self-study spaces will be constructed. These may be located in the library, or special study buildings, or built into the dormitories.

Seminar rooms: The number of seminar rooms will increase, particularly if “team” teaching methods are adopted. With large sections meeting for lectures, and subdividing for discussion, recitation, and deliberation, the economies of large classes are combined with the advantages of smaller group meetings.

Interchangeable classrooms: Banks of rooms may be set aside for recitation and discussion in subjects which have no specialized equipment requirements. These rooms will have various seating capacities. Flexible partitions of high acoustical quality will allow large rooms to be changed easily to small.

Lecture-demonstration rooms: These are similar to the interchangeable classrooms but are set up for demonstration purposes.

Special-purpose classroom : These facilities will combine space for instruction, recitation, demonstration, and laboratory work in specific fields of knowledge chiefly those requiring specialized equipment and unique installations Multi-purpose classroom: These are similar to the laboratories above,but because of simpler interior equipment requirements can be used for several different subject areas interchangeably.

Special teaching laboratories: Such spaces as art and music studios are in this category, as well as special-purpose spaces such as graduate student laboratories and home economics laboratories.

Libraries and Museums “...the most beautiful building on campus,clearly reflecting by its symmetry and balance, the triumph of the architect over the librarian.”LOUIS R. WILSON AND MAURICE F. TAUBER”THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY” The libraries can be the determinant of the higher education quality.

The role of museums in higher education is an important one. As early as 1750Harvard set aside space for “a collection of interesting objects.” Other schools had their cabinets of curios which were used by teachers in demonstrating various aspects of their lectures. University museums can became important centers of research, sponsoring world wide expeditions to collect the heritage of mankind.

Research Research is the methodical, systematic, directed study of a subject which is still largely unknown. Research flourishes in institutions of higher learning because colleges and universities provide the opportunities for the continuance of the scientific movement: money,leisure, freedom of pursuit, coupled with ideal conditions for scholars to come together to exchange ideas and techniques.

Collaborations Places where professional life merges with the academic life giving real life experiences to the students.

Centers of Extracurricular Life There are special non-instructional buildings on campus, important to the life of the academic community, having special design requirements and necessitating a central location of public prominence. Some of the examples are: 1. College and university unions 2. Faculty clubs 3. Worship centers 4. Auditoriums and theaters

Institutional Services Institutional services are day to day non-instructional activities which enable the college and university to carry out efficiently its obligations to faculty, student and staff, fulfilling the purposes for which the institutions were chartered. The administration services are included in this.

Housing The residential quarters for the students, faculty and the staffs. Staying in the same campus ensures a greater quality of education.

Sports, Recreation and Physical Education Recreational activities are necessary for better personal development of the students. These places in the campuses ensure better stimulation of the minds.

Universities are economic engines Universities are hotbeds of innovation and entrepreneurship. In partnership with government and business, academic research and technologies help to drive an array of vital industries.

Can change the face of a city As major landowners, universities are significant investors in the built environment.

Campus developments reshape the skyline while providing new civic identities.

Attract global talent Universities have a tremendous ability to attract global talent to cities and nations

How universities benefit society?

Universities role in building up a city

Can build international connections International staff and students do more than just boost the economy. They contribute to the vitality of their communities and help develop tolerant and inclusive societies.

Help address societal challenges At an institutional level, universities are well positioned to offer comprehensive, independent assessments of the societal issues. Universities also offer vital services to their surrounding communities that are otherwise scarce, including access to healthcare, cultural amenities and even sports facilities.

Fosters creativity and open debate Universities support a number of creative activities. Artistic and creative endeavors can help to put a city on the map – helping to boost global competitiveness.

Higher education improves lives Most fundamentally, we must not lose sight of the fact that access to higher education improves lives. It enhances self-knowledge, employment opportunities and promotes civic participation.

Imagine a city in which buildings alerts you when they need repair, there is Wi-Fi on every street corner, sensors tell the garbage trucks where, when and how often to collect, and where data is analyzed in a way that tells us which streets are more likely to be crime hotspots based upon traffic and movement. These are just a few examples of the things we could hope to see in a connected “smart city.”

Create a smart ecosystem with the city.

Fig 17: Smart Campus Illustration

How universities can become a model for better city?

Campus is a city within city where smart city models can be explored

Universities produce a creative and highly skilled workforce and they provide a way to test smart city technology. This can lead to City leaders employing the students who have been part of the testing in jobs that make cities smarter. The symbiotic relationship is a win for both cities and universities.

At the heart of smart cities are smart institutions of higher education. These institutions prepare students to live, work and innovate in a smart city. Cities will require an “internet of things” strategy backed by not just smart technology, but smart people. That’s where higher education comes in.

How campuses can help at an urban context by amalgamating with the city?

Fig 18:AI/VI Illustration

Fig 19:Digitalized campus

Become a testing ground for smart city projects Colleges and universities are essentially mini cities and are the perfect testing grounds for larger-scale initiatives. Universities are physical sites and regeneration projects that ‘connect economic and community engagement’. Universities should take advantage of these opportunities. This will help the cities and provide students with valuable skills.

How stressful can universities be?

Universities act as a power house, where innovative ideas are put forward. However, many students are exposed to high levels of stress due to interpersonal conflicts, self-esteem problems,financial constraints, time constraints,frustration and emotional problems in their university life. This eventually leads to physical ill health and deteriorated mental health threatening students’ life.

Active Interactive Zones Importance of interaction in better education

Design of campus should be far beyond just providing a place for study. It should also be healing—serving functional as well as mental needs. Many creative and innovative ideas occurring outdoor environments, away from formal classes and discussions due to the natural scenery and a relaxing atmosphere.

Architecture can affect human health through stimulation. Lack of stimulation, insufficient stimulation and too much stimulation can cause sensory of deprivation or distraction. It has been widely accepted that an open and informal atmosphere can stimulate creative expression. The space must be flexible to embrace individual needs and social interactions. In the campus life, a well-designed open space shall create an integral blend of private space for concentrated study and public space for collaborative exchanges. Open spaces located between buildings and working as joints of surrounding environments, provide a sense of direction in a campus by integrating and organizing different places and elements; they also can provide an aesthetic sense by involving attractive surroundings and creating visual surprises.

The dual role for social interaction and environmental enhancement—mutually reinforcing one another, features an open space in healthy campus life.

A major change in space - Libraries “I think there’s a whole infrastructure that has to be not only created, but invented and sustained in order to make sure the knowledge that we’ve been digitizing is retained and reusable over a long period of time. Otherwise, we’ll have denied ourselves what is the most important potential I can think of to have all the knowledge of human-kind at our fingertips.”

—Vint Cerf, Guardian Activate London, 2013

The Role

The Changing Space Needs With the development of technology

Libraries have had the historical role of being places for the preservation of knowledge. Libraries are and will continue to be places where information is accessed and new knowledge is created. Libraries play a fundamental role in granting access to essential resources to those who do not have the means themselves

The change

Fig 31: Previous Library Spaces

Libraries are going through a renaissance, both in terms of the social infrastructure they provide and in terms of a diversification of the services and experiences they offer.

In corporate environments they are playing an increasingly important role in the provision of collaborative and diverse workspaces. In communities they are evolving into hubs for education, health, entertainment and work.

Fig 30:Illustration for Changing space

The need for 21st century - Emerging Trends Physical interaction will remain a key demand of users, despite the opportunity for ubiquitous and constant information access offered by technology. They provide an opportunity to practice and experiment with exclusive technologies.

Library spaces will need to be flexible and adaptable in order to stimulate collaboration and social interaction, while still enabling quiet reflection and chance to discovery. Adaptability and flexibility will be key to providing spaces and services that respond to user needs and expectations, while ensuring solid and viable operation models both today and in the future. To cope with a lack of space and conservation requirements, robotics and automation can be deployed to achieve costeffective solutions for storage and physical archives.

Fig 35:Illustration depicting emerging trend

Open Information and Copyright Legislation Widespread public connection to the Internet is creating a demand for unrestricted access to information. A growing number of academics are contributing to this open access movement by self-archiving their articles fast pace of the digital world.

Information Overload According to the CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, we create as much information in two days, as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003.

Learning Models Lifelong learning – the voluntary, and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge throughout our lives – is today an established phenomenon.

Smart Systems and Robotics With increasing volumes of items in need of storage and the shrinking availability of space, the application of programmed machines can optimize the design of archives, resulting in space and energy savings, as well as optimization of retrieval systems.

Enabling Collaboration and Decision-making For future libraries, this will mean providing users with spaces where meaningful interactions an take place and where people can easily access curated information both in physical and digital form.

Mobile Lifestyles The borders of traditional working environments are fading, whilst an increasingly diverse workforce seeks more informal and convenient spaces to meet and collaborate.

Immersive Personalized Experiences Libraries strive to differentiate their offering in the face of increasing user expectations, and are making efforts to innovate around the user experience they offer to provide well designed services. Immersive experiences are rich, virtual online environments that allow learners to be engaged in a selfcontained artificial or simulated world while experiencing it as if it was real.

Universal, Unbiased and Secure Access to Knowledge

Modern Libraries Microsoft Future Vision In the future world envisioned by Microsoft’s office labs, everyday objects are filled with digital capabilities. A coffee cup can display the temperature of its content, electronic newspapers have the material qualities of paper, while functioning like e-readers. Glass and clear surfaces are used as displays and information flows in a continuous stream from personal devices onto objects furnishing the environment. In Microsoft’s fictional world, collaboration and access to information are natural interactions transcending spatial and temporal distance.

The future of Education Why management course is important?

Fig 42: Graph of students enrolled

Education must adapt to the Fourth Industrial Revolution Managerial skills are important: Technology is transforming how we live, work, play and think. And it’s happening more quickly, and on a larger scale, than at any point in human history …

Education needs to equip today’s young people with the skills to thrive in tomorrow’s world. Even if we don’t know what it looks like yet. Within just a few years, developments in technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology and 3D printing will transform most occupations. According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Survey, “a wide range of occupations will require a higher degree of cognitive abilities — such as creativity, logical reasoning and problem sensitivity — as part of their core skill set.

Active” or “problem-based” learning seeks to engage students’ natural curiosity, rather than simply presenting them with information.

In the future, work will be structured around projects, not processes. The world will need new skills to help manage humans the formidable tools at their disposal. Students need to know how to interpret search results, critically assess the quality and veracity of information and make ethical judgments about how to use it, and need to think creatively to come up with solutions to increasingly complex global problems.

An innovative teaching and learning methodology is a short lecture. It is the method in which a problem solving case study is discussed by the students who are organized into groups and who interrogate the responses of fellow students. The lecturer as the facilitator is tasked with guiding and promoting student interaction.

The university administrator seeks that degree of continuity and stability compatible with the progressive change required to maintain the institution’s leadership role.

Growth and change in campuses are permanent features and hence it is not possible to “complete” the development of a university campus. Campus design must anticipate, as nearly as possible, the nature of probable growth and change.

Increasing enrollment Enrollment is increasing every year by manifolds which need to be constantly adjusted in the permanent build structures.

Campus planning can’t be never complete Universities are bound to continuous change

Differential growth Occurring in various areas of the University along with overall growth.

Some elements may grow in direct proportion to the increase in enrollment, whereas others may grow faster or more slowly or even remain static.

Internal flexibility Required for changing uses of spaces and services.

Fig 52: Use of internet technology

“The Challenge” Providing flexibility and indeterminacy, is the greatest challenge for the designer designing the campus. This thesis determines to find a possibility for this challenge through designing a national importance campus that can acts as a future model for such campuses. Nevertheless This model can be determined as the final future model, even this is subjective to the change in the academic needs and growth in human technologies.

Campuses are the main stakeholders of our innovation ecosystem Innovation is performed and catalysed primarily by three main pillars, i.e. government, academia and industrial sector of India. Creating a strong Industry-Academia (I-A) R&D ecosystem in the country is necessary. Industry is forever scouting innovative ideas that address their R&D problems and on the other hand, academia is in pursuit of a hand-holding to translate and scale-up it’s lab research.

Institutes Collaborating with Industrial sector The new face of collaborations with various industries and markets

Academia and industry have to shed away the existing approach of working in-silos and look for synergistic routes that will also help to improve Indian global innovation ranking, especially in ‘Innovation linkages

Incentivizing universities and its faculty for delivering meaningful I-A interactions by the means of collaborative research work of industrial consultancy.

Creation of city academic clusters, a colloquium of universities, colleges and research institutes in a particular region/city, that can act as a single window platform for displaying research/technologies/ patents, facilities, instruments and scientific expertise available with academia, to be co-shared with the industry.

Mobility of faculty and students to industry and vice-versa should be promoted.

Academic institutes can also connect with industrial associations, State S&T councils and District Industries Centres (DICs) ‘I-A Fund’ under which I-A linkages via outreach activities such as I-A clubs, I-A workshops, I-A matchmakings Value Creation Centres that will engage with industries for specific projects via interconnecting and marketing of the research carried out in academic institutes and work on how to bring value to it.

Creation of ‘Theme based Centres of Excellence (CoEs)’ in academic institutes in association with industries catering to a specific domain or interested area of research of industry.

IIT-Madras thrives and excels through strong industry linkages, based on a unique

‘Credit System’ for sustaining these engagements. The model works through credits that are earned by the industry through academic interactions with the institute (e.g. entrepreneurial activities, collaborative partnerships, sponsoring Ph.D./research programmes/training, internships and recruitments, teaching and advisory, etc). These can be exchanged for the services and association with the research park.

IISc-Bangalore has instituted Society of Innovation and Development (SID) that acts as the Institute’s scientific repository and carries out engagements with industry in three arms: a) Core Innovation and Research with Enterprise (CORE) arm that engages with large corporates; b) TIME2 arm that engages with mediumsized companies, and c) STEM arm that works for start-ups. These three arms actively work towards matching industrial requirements with the scientific knowledge repository of the institute and handle all the negotiations for pursuing collaborative work.

Some Collaborating Institutes Indian institutes paving up this path

IIT-Delhi has established an industry interface through Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT) which carries out industrial consultancies, industrial training, industry-sponsored research projects and start-ups, through which industry and the institute have derived mutual benefits.

ICT-Mumbai follows a unique model of industry linkages where more than 80% of the faculty is involved with industry either in the form of industry-sponsored research projects or industrial consultancy.

The case study also has shown smart master planning.

Project Fact File The campus will enable IIMU to meet the targets outlined in its Perspective Plan which calls for approximately 750 students across its programs by 2020 and 60 permanent faculty members, implementing its mission to provide leadership in research and teaching, create responsible leaders and contribute to the development of the region.

Total Site Area = 300 Acre G.C. (Phase-1) = 15.5 Acre (5.3%) Total Built-up (Phase-1) = 15500O m2 Architect - B. V. Doshi Status: Under construction - Some classes have started

Concept Self-sustaining Campus A series of dams in the heart of the land’s western part is forming cascading lakes. The eastern part of the site is kept as is to form a buffer and the Master Plan proposes to use it as a resource for the campus. Planted with dense groves of orchards and fields it can help to achieve food security, making life on the campus truly self-sustaining.

All academic buildings are built around these water bodies helping in keeping the temperature cooler and harvesting the rainwater used for the campus. It also has a solar farm, a zero-waste facility, where waste will be an important resource utilizing DEWATS (Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems), vermicomposting and biogas production.

MASTER PLANNING ANALYSIS

The academic block is accessed by only one site entry which spreads in various direction to access different building components via vehicular roads. The Academic block and the MDC centre, auditorium and Sports centre are far away.

Macro level: Analysis for future expansion on the plan shows that large areas on the site has been left for about 2 such more campuses.

Micro level: Spaces in between the current phase of construction is enough for almost the same built-up expansion.

Flexible classroom space design Classrooms should be profound places of revelation and discovery.

Well-designed space has the ability to elevate discourse, encourage creativity, and promote collaboration.

Learning spaces extend beyond classroom walls to every corner of the campus. The design must create places for informal catalytic interactions. Widening corridors and designating lobbies, atrium, and other common areas as educational spaces promotes spontaneous learning. So too does furnishing these spaces with flexible seating, tables for individual study and group discussion, vertical surfaces for displaying student and faculty work, and a robust wireless network.

Flexible classrooms Basic guidelines o These learner-centered spaces should include: o Windows with views to the outside o Natural daylight o Robust wireless internet networks that support high-speed creation and sharing of media o Walls prepared for presentation (blackboards, pin-up, projection) o Low-profile electrical outlets evenly spaced around all walls/ ceilings o Smooth and flat floor for easy rearranging of furniture o Adjustable lighting for group discussion, presentation, and video recording. o Furnish these rooms with flexible furniture

The James H. Clark Center at Stanford University in California houses the Bio-X programme (700 academics), one of the most radical experiments in scientific research.

In contrast to the traditional laboratory facility has • The Clark Center is open and flexible • External balconies replace internal corridors Laboratory layouts can be reconfigured at will • Furniture are on wheels • Workstations that plug into an overhead system of exposed services with flexible connections.

THE INSTITUTE HISTORY Afier India became independent in 1947, the Planning Commission was entrusted to oversee and direct the development of the nation. India grew rapidly in the I950s, and in the late 1950s the Commission started facing difficulties in finding suitable managers for the large number ofpublic sector enterprises that were being established in India as a part of its industrial policy. To solve this problem, the Planning Commission in 1959 invited Professor George Robbins of the University of Califonia to help in setting up an All India lnstitute of Management Studies. Based on his recommendations, the Indian govemment decided to set up two elite management institutes-named Indian Institutes of Management - Calcutta and Ahmedabad were chosen as the locations for the two new institutes.

Climatology Study

Temperature and the Precipitation of Nagpur The Nagpur lies on 306m above sea level having a tropical climate with dry conditions prevailing for most of the year. It receives about 163 mm of rainfall in June. The amount of rainfall is increased in July to 294 mm.

The temperature is mostly high in summer reaching upto 45oC while the lowest temperatures during winters can go upto low as 8oC. But the average minimum temperature is upto 18oC. The Temperature mostly lays in the range of 30oC - 40oC. Hence, the institute should be build keeping in mind the high temperatures of the city.

The city is dry all around except the monsoons where precipitation can reach upto 294mm in July. This heavy rainfall can be collected and reserved for future use instead of wasting the water. Average annual Rainfall: 1064mm

SUN PATH

Climatology Study Sun Path

The Solar path will define the orientation of the built up. The shadows will play a critical role in creating the built-open relationships in the massing. The shadows will help create circulation and pedestrian walk through the site.

Shadows will affect the creation of open and pedestrian paths

Climatology Study Wind on Site

The wind is predominant from the North and the West. This direction can be used for crossventilation through the masses as the temperature is high for this city. To make the design sustainable, maximum cross-ventilation must be utilised .

Fig 178: Site Contours

The site is almost flat with very few contours. The surface of the land is in the form of convex with edges i.e. the front and the rear of the site are raise while the center of the site dips down thus the center of the site is low line with water seepage below the surface of the soil due to the adjacent water body which runs along the right side of the plot. The shape of the land is rectangular strip with roads on three sides of the plot.

The right side of the plot is adjacent to the bandh with run along the waterbody on the other side. The level difference between the bandh and site is almost 5 m.

As the site is adjacent to the water-body- there is a problem of seepage below the surface of the soil. The center of the site is low laying area which is more prone to ,flooding due to overflow of adjacent water tank •

SWOT ANALYSIS Site and Context

STRENGTHS

WEAKNESS

1.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Site orientation: The site is oriented almost parallel to north direction making it easier to orient the building masses in the north south direction.

Located in a prime location: The site is located near airport and Khapri metro station providing easier access to the site.

Access via roads from all direction: The site has two 30m wide roads access while two service roads from two directions.

Contours: The site is relatively flat with not much difference in contours.

Less trees on the site providing possibilities for more massing options.

2.

3.

Site boundary - The site is elongated, giving less options to play with the zoning.

Currently absence of built context in the environment.

Presence of a small village.

OPPORTUNITY

THREATS

1.

1.

2.

3.

4.

Located adjacent to the AIIMS Nagpur, making the area of national importance area.

Less mass built developments near by providing the opportunity to play with massing and architectural expression.

Low contours south of Dahegaon tank providing the opportunity of creating a water recreation zone in the campus.

The buffer zone of micro-vegetation along with the tank in the north of the site provides a cooler climatic zone which can be continued on the site.

2.

3.

Presence of Tank leading to over flooding in the site, south to the tank.

Currently barren plots near by making the surrounding insecure.

Adjacent to the SEZ making the surroundings noisy and huge traffic in the future.

3 SIGHTLINES FOR SEMINAR HALLS

1 ROOM PROPORTIONS Room proportion significantly influences the way instruction takes place in the learning environment. Rooms that are too wide inhibit the instructor’s ability to maintain eye contact, provide more instructor space than is needed, and typically have poor sightlines, especially from seats in front corners.

Rooms that are too deep make it hard for students seated in the back to hear the instructor, to interact with the entire group, and to see whiteboards and projection screens. They also force a narrow instructor space, causing instructor stations to interfere with views to the front.

1 LEARNING/FLEXIBLE STUDIOS Learning studios are designed to emphasize collaborative learning among students and minimal lecture by the instructor. Students are seated at large, round tables to facilitate team work and the walls are covered with working surfaces and projection screens/video monitors to present student work.

Water Harvesting System Water security and zero wastage The site contains has contour difference of about 6-8m spread across. Nagpur has a dry weather with a ample amount of rainfall during monsoons.

Creating a systematic system of water reservoir with interlinked systems for water usages, recycling water an then using it again for other purposes will ensure a water secure campus without having requirement from the municipal water system.

With time the campus will have created a green belt resulting in the golding capacity of the soil below the south of the tank and preventing storm water drainage to run off creating issues within the site.

Radiant Heating and Cooling System Active sustainable strategies Hydroponic radiant heating and cooling systems significantly reduce energy consumption in the built environment. Many of the world’s most efficient commercial buildings rely on the coupling of radiant and forced air systems to achieve energy performance targets.

Radiant cooling systems circulate colder water through the same network of pipes where warmer water circulates during the heating season. This network of pipes can turn the floors, walls, and ceilings of a conditioned space into cooled surfaces that evenly absorb heat energy.

The heat pump source can be integrated with the ground heat sources for creating a highly energy efficient building.

Photovoltic Panels Active sustainable strategies

Solar Farms

Solar farms are large-scale, ground-mounted solar installations. They use photovoltaic (PV) panels or other means of collecting solar energy, like concentrating solar systems, to harness the sun’s power.

Living Facade walls

GREEN WALLS

Green walls and algae living facades

Green walls for surfaces prone to excessive heating Living façades can maximize a projects green space with a minimumsized footprint, creating a living landscape where it was not thought possible. They are both low-cost and low- maintenance in comparison to other greening options.

Architecturally designed green facade create eye-catching designs that can make a project stand out from the pack. They simultaneously increase the desirability of the building.

1.

Living facade offer economic environmental and physiological benefits.

2. Building Profile Beautification 3. Improved Air Quality 4. Biodiversity and habitat 5. Acoustic Buffering 6. Biophilic Design and our health 7. Increased Thermal Insulation

LIVING FACADE- ALGAE SYSTEMS Depending on the species and the concentration of the micro-algae within the ETFE cushions, it is possible to vary the transparency of the single panels. When exposed to the solar radiation, algae grow more rapidly increasing their density, reducing the transparency of the ETFE panels, for thermo function as a natural sun-blind. Moving our facade triangles with the sun’s course allows us to use this shading potential in the maximum way, protecting indoors and exploiting the sunlight for the vertical algae farm.

SLAB DESIGN FOR FLEXIBLE CLASSROOMS

CASE EXAMPLE: LECTURE SPACE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY’S SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM

Fig 188: Columbia University’s School

Fig 189: Internal Views of slab

Restoration of the lecture space The design was intentionally developed to have a dual personality. To accommodate the broad range of functions required, from lectures to classes to film screenings, the plan is open to multiple configurations via a series of mobile furniture components, including a transformable stage and a moving storage wall. By contrast, the redesigned ceiling is highly articulated; developed as a contour of performance, with custom panels that provide for lighting, mechanical systems and acoustics.

Section

The shape of the ceiling is adjusted to allow for views to the monumental windows and extends to surface the mezzanine at the back of the space, referencing the form of classical coffers while adapting to contemporary requirements.

The project engages the need to imaginatively transform historic facilities to accommodate contemporary educational requirements, creating a space that both acknowledges and reinvents its past.

This can be incorporated with the Hive classroom example of Harvard University for some specific flexible classrooms and multi-purpose halls.

Waffle Slabs Construction Strategies

Introduction Waffle slab is a structural component which is plain on its top and contains grid like system on its bottom surface. The top slab is normally thin and the bottom grid lines are generally ribs which are laid perpendicular to each other with equal depth. Waffle slab has two directional reinforcement.

All the ribs are directed from column heads or beams. The depth of ribs maintained is as depth of column head or beam. Because of the ribs and double reinforcement, it is more table and recommended for large span slabs or foundations.

Why Waffle slab Waffle slab is good against shrinkage and it is lower than stiffened rafts and footing slabs.

Waffle slab requires only 70% of concrete and 80% of steel from the concrete and steel used for different raft.

It allows you to achieve long span structure.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT ZONES

Zoning created by the main and ecological pedestrian axis. The academic zone is kept in the front zone while the recreational zone kept at the rear side of the site.

Phase One Concentrated at in the centre of the site and the secondary axis which is surrounded by the recreation zone. The future development to be taken in the direction of the arrows shown in the diagram.

To improve: The massing planning doesn’t go totally along with the ecological axis. Some vehicular access needs to circulate inside the residential as well as academic area.

The Academic zone The academic zone main components are the faculty block administration, classroom Complexes ,estate office, the library, student activity Centre the management development programme centre, incubation centre and an Auditorium. All the components have been brought together by a similar architectural character and the landscaping. The classroom complex and faculty block are similar in massing with various breakouts within them for an interactive campus. The library and the student activity center is zoned in the center of the campus for everyone to reach it out as its the most used space. The administration, auditorium and the collaborative zones are zoned near the entry of the site that is the east side. The collaborative spaces that are the Management development program center and the incubation center are zoned in the north side of the site near by the industrial zone in the context.

The Library and the student activity center The drop off to the library also caters to the student activity center. Outsiders also use the library in campuses. Its a place where students , teachers and outsiders interact the most. Hence library acts as the main functional part of the building. The library building geometry has been changed - by doing this more attention goes to the built form. Its the major area where knowledge is spread and exchanged along with recreational activities.

Jury Comments

The Jury was very impressed by the presentation that was presented to them showing all my iterations and the pros and cons of each iteration.

The jury panel was impressed by the design process and appreciated the method adopted to achieve the final master plan, especially how I achieved the master plan step by step learning from each iteration.

The jury also liked the design of the individual components and the incorporation of the informal spaces within the blocks as well as the spillout areas created in the landscaping.

The Jury suggested that the design could be more responding to the climate of the specific place- focusing on place specific design. Nagpur experiences very high temperatures which actually makes the afternoon shift as a break in Nagpur (which I wasn’t aware of). The jury pointed out some points like walking distance between the academic zone and housing, the open green terraces on the blocks that would have a different experience during summers.

Overall the Jury was quite impressed with the design, the process and the presentation.
