MORPHOLOGY Current Practice Built form derived independent of specific aspects of topography and site potential Positioning of buildings in a pre‐determined pattern irrespective of context, site and climate Tall buildings necessitating larger buffers result in total occupation of site, isolates each from the other and completely fragment the open spaces.

Plan – low density High Rise

Section showing monotonus sectional impression

Large spread results in extensive and expensive site infrastructure and building services networks.

Recommended Practice Compact built form derived from land dynamics and climatic influences.

Low rise, high density morphology conserves majority of site and consolidates open space.

Larger roof areas allows possibility for net‐zero development.

More efficient connectedness between buildings and their relation to the natural ground.

FIGURE GROUND RELATIONS Current Practice

Relation with Ground

Tall and isolated structures are completely devoid of any expressed relationship to the ground and to each other.

Isolation exacerbated by the need for fire‐tender and other services access, disconnecting the inner space from the external.

Building functions unrelated to figure ground but segregated vertically.

Section showing limited relation of built with ground plane

Recommended Practice Relation with Ground

Building distribution and segregation based on functions and their relevance to the immediate figure ground.

A lighter footprint is impressed on the ground, leaving it free to express much of the natural character of the site.

Section showing continuous relations with natural ground terrain

Low‐rise and interconnected structures with a clear functional hierarchy leaves most of the built form with a close and constant relationship with the natural ground.

STREET VISION Recommended Practice To articulate the ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ facades of the buildings to respond differently to the street and ground plane below.

Differential treatment of facades along ‘inner’ streets helps achieve a controlled articulation of the sky above.

The quality of daylight penetrating to the lower planes will render the street below rich in variation and experience.

PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY (THE STREET) OFFICES

Recommended Practice Pedestrian connectivity both informs and is derived from the interplay between natural landscape, built form and building functions.

PUBLIC INTERFACE

Intraction space created along the street edge

Close knit buildings and free flow ground plane affords continuous and protected pedestrian connectivity.

A deep‐penetration network renders the development pedestrian friendly, not merely by grade access but also in terms of efficiency, aesthetic and thermal comfort.

DECENTRALIZED ACTIVITY CORES Current Practice Distinct segregation of activities in separate buildings increases circulation needs as also the disconnect between physical spaces.

The sense of unity otherwise desirable to create a single campus entity is seriously disrupted.

The quality of spaces, while efficient, can be quite cold, clinical and industrial Centralized activity cores with restricted proximity influnece

Recommended Practice Efficient segregation of activities in a unified built form affords a more social and interactive space.

Well integrated social, recreational and other non‐ work spaces creates multiple ways and opportunities for a more nuanced campus experience.

Desegregated distribution of non‐work activities will ensure an active and vibrant atmosphere without compromising efficiency.

Decentralized Activity cores with maximum proximity influence INFOSYS – PHASE 2 – Conceptual Design Development

INTEGRATED DESIGN

HORIZONTAL CONNECTIVITY Current Practice High‐rise, high density built form is heavily dependent upon vertical circulation; by its very nature, this negates well integrated functional, work and recreational spaces.

Each floor is increasingly isolated from the ground plane, causing serious alienation amongst users.

The ground plane is rendered quite sterile since this typology does not allow any integration of inside and outside.

Section showing typical dependancy of vertical connectivity for interaction

Recommended Practice Low‐rise, high‐density typology creates immense opportunities for dynamic and multiple ways of connectivity of spaces, functions and activities.

The campus and its constituents are seen as one integrated whole rather than a series of isolated towers approached through separate cores.

Depending on the level of privacy and security needed, each space can be either seamlessly connected or segregated, creating flexible and future‐ready work spaces.

Building orientation • All buildings oriented for minimum heat exposure along the N‐S axis.

• A maximum of 15o tilt allowed for better articulation of built form and regulate monotony.

• 15o tilt allowed only towards SE for maximum benefit; any tilt towards the SW would dramatically increase the surface exposed for direct heat gain.

• Building façade articulated with deep and vegetated terraces to increase thermal protection as well create a finer grain of architectural expression.

Modular planning • Interior spaces worked out in modules of 240 SqM addressing the team sizes indicated.

Plan – SDB modules arranged linearly along the east‐west direction to form the building office blocks.

• Modules are articulated in a manner that render them flexible for multiple stacking and combining for changing work modes and team sizes.

• Modules developed to respond to tilts, breaks and extensions of the work floor without impacting efficiency of structure or internal space.

Plan – Modular plan allows for tilting and exclusion of building modules without affecting the SDB workspace.

Horizontal connectivity • Several of the roofs can potentially be ramped to create connectivity at various nodes and levels.

• Increases the richness of movement and experience for the user through a process of both formal and informal control of access and intersection.

• Constant interplay of vegetated roofs – both horizontal and sloping heightens the visual and physical relationship with the larger landscape outside.
