THE LOCATION OF THE ABOVE STRUCTURE, IS AT THE PRINCIPAL AREA OF THE ENTIRE COLLEGE PREMISES; IN ADDITION, IT FUNCTIONS TO BE THE ADMIN BLOCK SO, CONSIDERING ALL THESE ASPECTS WE SETTLED ON THE CONCEPT OF PROVING A TRILATERAL FACADE EXTRUDED FROM ‘CONCAVE CURVES IMPOSED ONTO A TRIANGLE’, WHICH WOULD CREATE AN OUTLOOK FROM ALL DIRECTIONS OF THE COLLEGE SITE AREA, THUS CREATING AN EDIFICE.
THE CONCAVE FACADES MADE OF FERROCEMENT WITH POROUS ORGANIC PATTERNS PLAYING ON ALL THREE SIDES CREATES AN INTERACTIVE & WELCOMING ENTRY ATMOSPHERE ALONG WITH CONVEX WATER-BODIES; THE OPEN GRASS LAWN SPACES ACCOMPANIED BY BOUGAINVILLEA ARCHES, MAKES IT MUCH MORE PLEASING FOR THE STUDENTS TO GET ALONG AND MAKING IT AN INTERACTIVE ZONE.
PLANNING ARRANGEMENT:
THE PLANNING ARRANGEMENT HOLDS ADMIN & A LIBRARY @ GROUND FLOOR, CLASS ROOMS & FACULTY CHAMBERS @ FIRST FLOOR, LABS @ SECOND FLOOR AND FINALLY ACTIVITY SPACES & AN AUDITORIUM @ THIRD FLOOR; FURTHER ABOVE THE AUDITORIUM IS THE SERVICE SPACE FOR THE SAME UNDER A HUGE SLOPING ROOF AND ABOVE THE LIFT & STAIRCASES SITS OHT FOR THE WATER REQUIREMENT FOR THE ENTIRE BLOCK.
EACH AND EVERY FLOOR CONTAINS BUFFER SPACES ON THE CONCAVE PARTS, CURBS SEATED AREAS ENCIRCLED BY SOFTSCAPES OF DIFFERENT VARIETIES ALLOWS ADEQUATE & FRESH AIR MOVEMENT WITHIN THE ENTIRE BLOCK.
THE CENTRAL SPACE FORMS AN ATRIUM WITH A LIFT AND TWO SPIRALLY INTERCONNECTING STAIRCASES AROUND THE LIFT HELPS CREATING A STACK EFFECT. THE INTERCONNECTING STAIRCASES PUSH DOWN THE EXPANSIVE BUILT-UP AREAS TO A BOUND.
THE TERRACE HOLDS THE ACTIVITY AREA THAT ENGULFS ART/DISCUSSION PODIUM, EXERCISE/YOGA PODIUM, WORKSHOP/LUNCH PODIUM, AN AMPHITHEATER AND FLOWERAL DISPLAYS SEMI-SHELTERED BY A SPACE TRUSS MADE FROM POLY CARBONATE SHEET; MAKES THE TERRACE A HUGE COMMUNAL & FRISKY SPOT.
