Case study The first step

Comparative study • • • • • •

Site Design on the basis of site context Organization of spaces Visual effects Comparison with standards Comments

Site Dayananda sagar school of architecture

• Sloped site- situated on a hillock • Site cut and filled to a leveled surface

R.V. college of architecture • Sloped site- site inclined in two directions • Designed with context to the site’s slope

Design on the basis of site context Dayananda sagar school of architecture • •

•

No separate block for architecture Housed in a floor of a block meant to serve an engineering department Building here hasn’t been designed with context to the site which is actually a sloped site

R.V. college of architecture • •

• •

A dedicated block for architecture in a campus of an engineering college To screen activities of school from engineeringblank walls Slope incorporated in design Built to human scale

Organization of spaces Dayananda sagar school of architecture • Learning spaces branch out from the corridor • Learning spaces o Studio cum lecture halls, 5 nos., meant for 40 students o 1 seminar hall that doubles as a crit room o A 40 unit computer lab

R.V. college of architecture •

•

o 9 studios with a capacity of 40 students o 6 lecture halls with A/V facilities o 1 seminar hall with 120 seating capacity o 60 unit computer lab

• Interactive spaces o Nothing specificthe built environment does not promote interaction

• Two faculty rooms – equipped with PCs

Studio spaces separated from lecture rooms to promote physical activity Learning spaces

•

Interactive spaces o Landscaped courtyards o 200 seater- Open air theatre

•

Faculty rooms – individual and common rooms

Lighting & ventilation Dayananda sagar school of architecture • Doubly loaded corridor dimly lit and poorly ventilated by natural means inducing the necessity for artificial lighting • Well lit studios/classrooms of height 12’ with strip windows

R.V. college of architecture • • •

doubly loaded corridor-well lit and ventilated Studios- well lit and ventilated by natural means - vertical windows at two levels, studio ht-15’ Classroomsartificial lighting required on gloomy days, room ht11’

Design concept • •

•

Located in an engineering campusprivacy desired-Blank outer walls Friendly and welcoming to studentso human scale o Several small courtyards instead of a single large one Main corridor-spine of the college Site inclined in two directionslevels of site used in design Classrooms and studios spaced out to increase student’s physical activity and relax their minds Built form encourages interaction between students

Corridors • Main hub of the college • Serves as an interaction space • Display and notification space • Branches out the learning spaces • Runs at three different levels across the entire school • Height of the corridor ranges from 10’-15’ since it varies from place to place due to levels in the site - 6’ wide • Well lit and ventilated by courtyards
