The site falls under the institutional zone which is close enough to commercial zone i.e. half kms away. The site has an irregular shape with 5 sides. Out of which, 3 sides has direct connectivity to the sarkar road which measures about 16m in width
The site has good connectivity to major areas by means of ocal bus, metro, cabs and autos. The roads around the site and the surrounding area has pedestrian paths. The area on the front and rear of the site has green areas. There are many parks in the localities, thereby providing an enhanced microclimate in and around the site.
No development or commercial activity next to the site, except for the Grand hotel. No vegetation within the site could be retained because the type found is thorn trees and shrubs whose roots will penetrate deep into the ground and absorbs more water.
The road network, connectivity through different modes of transport, amenities / facilities in a closer proximity, land use type, blue green map of the area were studied in detail for the feasibility of the site & its location.

With the upcoming of an institution in the area would increase activities around. Increase in the commercial activity would lead to increased job oppurtunities which would enhance the economy
Less activity on the roads and immediate surroundings of the site. No much activities around the site might lead to illegal or crime activities Increased usage of vehicles in the area might lead to increased pollution and might cause threat to vegetation.
STAGE 1 STAGE 2
From the table 1 (temperature), it is observed that March and october are the months which are found to be comfortable throughtout the day. During day time, the hot discomfort is experienced more and it is noticed to happen from April till September. The cold discomfort is observed only in the month of January, February and December. During night time, cold discomfort is noticed to be high and it happens between November to February. The hot discomfort during night is found only in the month of June. Therefore, it can be concluded that June is found to be the hottest month and December is observed to be the coldest month. From the table 2 (relative humidity), it is found that high humidity (ie., above 70 %) prevails in Delhi for about 8 months in a year and it is noticed to happen during night time Low humidity is experienced only during the day time of April month. From the rainfall data, it is observed that it slightly increases from the month June and peaks during August and reduces gradually in the rest of the months. The annual rainfall index is 1.3 (Sheltered).
Building pulled out of the maximum ground coverage that it can occupy on the site. Dividing the building area into residential and non-residential zone.
STAGE 3
The residential zone is divided into hostel blocks for students and staff quarters. The non residential zone is further classified into academic area, admin area, recreational area and parking area.
STAGE 4
The public zone (ex: auditorium) is put to the front, followed by semi public and private zone. The open green spaces is provided to the north and south of academic zone to serve as a view point and also as buffer zone
The academic zone is classified into UG block - architecture, UG block - planning and PG block with labs and library building close to each UG & PG block. The residential zone is further classified into boys hostel, girls hostel & staff quarters
STAGE 5
STAGE 6
Operable windows could be positioned predominantly on the east, north and north west directions so that wind could be allowed to circulate inside the building during summer months and it could be blocked from entering the building during winter and monsoon months. Windows on the east and north west could be kept open during the day time of the winter months to get fresh air and radiation of sun inside the building, The heat from such radiation has to be trapped in such a way that it can be used during night time, The shading devices has to be designed in such a way that it lets in wind and cuts of radiation during summer months
The public road is divided based on different users to reduce traffic congestion and ease of access without chaos. The vehicular movement is restricted inside the academic zone. The service road is put to the rear end of the site.
Multiple entry points to divert the movement of crowd. Security check points inside the site to restrict the entry of residential and academic users into the service zone. Continuous road is ensured for the movement of fire engine.
The auditorium and its parking area is put to one end of the site to control the movement of crowd throughout the site.
The academic parking is positioned in such a way that the vehicular movement is reduced inside the site.
The academic blocks are located centrally to ensure closer proximity to all other areas & creating a walkable environmnent
Based on the climatic study, building blocks are positioned in such a way that its longer side faces N-S direction.

Linear block with longer side facing North - South direction and shorter side facing EastWest direction is taken.
The block is divided into four parts considering each as studio unit. The longer side of each unit is made to face N-S direction
The blocks are staggered in such a way that each studio gets ample amount of daylight on all sides & to ensure that the form facilitates cross ventilation in each studio unit.
The non - habitable spaces are arranged in the East & West The common staircase is positioned on South to get enough light & reduce radiation entering into habitable space.
Open spaces such as courtyards on the ground level is put in between blocks to provide good views, facilitate air movement & also to bring down the temperature of hot air
The open spaces are made to continue in all other levels by introducing voids in between.
It helps in the better circulation of air and also acts as a breakout zone
Staggered arrangement of blocks
Integration of open space into the block
Addition of multiple voids Splitting the voids to other levels Alternate arrangement of open spaces in all levels
Projection & recession of floor plate to achieve self shading
The longer sides of the building are made to face North - South direction. It helps in allowing air and maximum amount of light inside the habitable spaces.
Each lecture hall and studio unit has its longer side facing North - South orientation. The strategy helps in positioning maximum number of openings along North & South.
The surface area on the East and West facade are reduced by positioning the shorter side of the units on those orientation. Further, to cut off the radiation entering into the habitable spaces, non - habitable spaces such as toilets are located on those orientations.
Positioning of courtyard in the central of the building, thereby creating void in a solid mass - Enhances visual quality, allows hot air to pass through the opening at the top, allows air circulation, allows daylight to enter into the building, vegetation in the courtyard enhances the microclimate, acts as an interactive space, acts as a place for displaying student works such as sculptures
Each studio unit has its lecture hall in a close proximity - either connected through a private staircase from studio unit to lecture hall or located adjacent to it.
The circulation corridor is located adjacent to the central courtyard at each floor. Therefore, the area receives good amount of daylight & ventilation throughout the day. The corridor also gets an aesthetical view of the courtyard that is provided on the ground floor.
The breakout spaces are present at each floor - acting as a multi functional spaces such as jury space, gathering space, small event space, seating or relaxation zone, workshop or modelling area.
The North & South facade has a double skin layer & the space between acts as transition zone for the exterior & interior space. This transition zone has been treated as a private breakout space for each studio or lecture hall.
The grand stair has been positioned to the southern facade & it is made to receive good amount of daylight all throughout the day. The users get a good view of the exterior & its surroundings from the openings along the staircase.
