Light and ventilation

• The campus has been designed taking into

consideration the hot and dry climate of Ahmedabad.

• The activities are so planned that they spill over into

inward looking spaces .

• The courtyard are a result of this and remain building

in the shadow for most part of the day.

• The external cladding is prefabricated and

consist of heat resisting glass in metal

frames in workshops and in rosewood

frame in studios.

• Winds from the riverside are captured in

the studios and workshops from the

terraces due to adjustable glazing.

spill over spaces

Features like water bodies

with jalis are used to filter

the cooled air flowing over

the water and passed in

interiors.

pockets of vegetation

pockets of vegetation

• Pockets of vegetation

blend with the structure

on the exterior as well as

interior which helping to

lower the temperature.

• Large trees protect the building from

surface glazing and courtyards from

excessive heating.


Landscape

space in and around it. Thus the outside open spaces are as

much important a design criteria as inner spaces.

completely landscaped.

Three platforms extend

the lawn acting as built-in

sit outs.

monument and open air

amphitheater having

densely planted trees

around it.

Landscape courtyard

• Amphitheatre is also used

for social functions ,

fashion shows, etc.

feature of landscape but
