CIRCULATION SITE ZONING
ACTIVITY PATTERN
Site divided In two halves; northern for staff housing and southern for educational block. Staff housing into two sectors for teaching and non-teaching staff. Educational block includes administrative and library block , dormitory in southern sides. This zone is wrapped with a blanket of greenery screens off unwanted noises emanating from the road and breaks visual link with surrounding spaces.
CIRCULATION PATTERN
Day time activity is concentrated in academic and administration areas. More use of interaction and transition area like corridors, galleries and courts and foyers throughout the campus. Activities tend to flow between classrooms, library , computer centre, canteens and students dormitories. Night time activity shifts to library and hostel blocks and to the courtyards.
Vehicular movements is well integrated with zoning of various activities. Pedestrian movement dominating within academic complex and student’s dormitories. Network of corridors linking together all volumes, courtyards,and external spaces.
Pattern of indoor and outdoor spaces of plan echoes intermingling spaces of fatehpur sikri and its reconstruction into modern structural system and arrangement. Academic block conceived as collection of courts and terraces , interlocked and spaced together by corridors and verandahs at various levels.
Angular forms of dormitories are wrapped around the courts , connected through walkways.Entire campus is a fabric of intersecting planes,pergolas.Sensitive layered vocabulary of architectural elements of walls, enclosures and open spaces is the underlying theme of the design .
DESIGN INSPIRATION Ideal combination of modern movement with ancient spiritual condition. Doshi has drawn inspirations from • Lal bagh •
Gardens with pavilions
•
Fatehpur sikri
•
Cascaded terraces, pillared halls,courts of varying sizes
•
South indian temple complex-madurai
•
A traditional city complete with streets,steps,balconies, etc.
Doshi referred to the complex as “Bazaar of education”. One can experience weaving of indoor and outdoor spaces with transitional spaces.
DESIGN IDEAS The 54,000 sq mt IIMB complex, built on a 100-acre campus, is based on the design of the town of Fatehpur Sikri,laid out by Akbar in the 16th century. The architect, B V Doshi, achieved this vision by linking a network of corridors, courtyards and external spaces allowing for future extensions. As one of the few Indian architects known and respected internationally, B V Doshi is often introduced as a man who trained in his craft under Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn, a pronouncement that though accurate, tends to attribute his achievement to their personalities rather than his own talent. IIMB’s design overturns this presumption, showing us a highly original, creative human being who is as much in love with architecture as he is with life and learning.
. The design of IIMB reflects the architect’s perfect sense of scale, proportion and light.From the logo that portrays the rays of the rising sun to the design of the IIMB complex, light plays a crucial role.
Fatehpur Sikri’s courtyards and the gardens of Bangalore merged in B V Doshi’s mind’s eye. He picked up the gardens and put them in the courtyards, and the vision for a ‘glocal’ campus was born. Instead of courtyards that are dry and rigid, he made green corridors, which allow for academic exchanges to be carried beyond the classroom
DESIGN IDEAS The interplay of walls and openings, light and shadows, and solids and voids change the character of the main building during different times of the day and during different seasons. The high corridors are sometimes open; sometimes partly covered with skylights and sometimes with only pergolas to heighten the spatial experience. The width of the corridors is modulated to allow for casual seating. Access to classrooms and administrative offices is provided through these corridors. The design offers students and faculty the ability to see and feel nature even when inside the classroom.
The juxtaposition of the built space and the landscape with life creates an uncertain sequence of events that define the beautifully amorphous space within the IIM Bangalore campus. As the relationship between humans and their built environment becomes increasingly deterministic – defined by cause-and-effect programming of contemporary buildings, The IIM Bangalore campus proposes an alternate view– the one in which the built environment enables the linearity of time to be disrupted. The architecture of the IIM resists the clear and precise image. Over time and through repetition, one can grasp the arrangement of the plan and the sequence of spaces that flank the corridors but by negating formal clarity, the building gives preference to the experience of traversing through its in-between spaces. The spatial experience is heightened by the frequent changes of scale and the occasional breaking of the form of the corridor. The allowance of the landscape to intersperse with the built form enables the building to create soft, loosely defined edges.
THEMES AND VARIATIONS; SOLIDS AND VOIDS In the figure-ground study of the IIM campus, one can observe the unusual significance rendered to the ‘in-between’ space. This exceptional strategy enables the institute to add and assimilate more functional demands over time. The recent addition of a block by Mindspace Architects exemplifies the potential of the plan to grow and become generative of the growth. By refraining from creating a clear centre, the scheme allows new spaces to amalgamate with the original plan. The orientation, sequence, hierarchy and relationship of the voids is critical to the scheme. These sets of open-to-sky and semi-open spaces form a code of the place gesturing towards possible avenues to add, edit and alter the more functional spaces without compromising the beautiful idea.
CLASSROOM- OLD Classrooms are organized in cluster of two or three around open courts and semi open spaces, interlinking them. Gains an informal character encouraging students to use as an interactive space to hold discussion and socialize. Never accessed directly from movement spines or corridors. Instead there is a common space between classrooms, acting as pause point before entering classroom activity. These in-between spaces are having inbuilt seating spaces and notice board which causes students to linger a while.

CORRIDORS They show that the interior must be relevant to the exterior, and that life, art and architecture can co-exist.The width of the corridors is modulated to allow for casual seating.
The corridors are sensitive to the Indian context of community and environment. They are lessons in rhythm and composition. Access to classrooms and administrative offices is provided through these corridors.
The high corridors are sometimes open; sometimes partly covered with skylights and sometimes with only pergolas to heighten the spatial experience.

LIBRARY Situated
within a reputed institutional campus, the footfall of this library had significantly dropped. The requirement was to revitalize the space, make it more technically competent, and increase relevance to the current needs of the Gen Y users.
Functions like discussion rooms, formal and informal reading, retiring zones, laptop bays, digital display areas, etc are tucked in addition to softer, flexible spaces. The re-modelled library respects and responds to the existing architectural expression of a heritage structure with comfort for the new India.
KEY PLAN Size of project on 3 floors: 55,000 sq.ft. Seating capacity 250 Project cost: Rs.5.4 Crores. Context: Library redefined within a large reputed institutional campus. Principal and Lead Architect: V. Vishwanath IIMB LIBRARY REDEFINED by VISHWANNATH ASSOCIATES in India won the WA Award Cycle 36. 24 hrs caters to students, Library space is organized faculty and researchers. around an atrium, which belongs in light and imparts a feeling of openness.
Studies prove that using colour can increase the attention span of the users and reduce boredom. Hence the element of colour has been introduced to functions like acoustics, AI intervention, pedestal for faculty works, comfortable seating, etc. Preserving the traditional functional requirements, the additional functions are seamlessly woven into the pre-existing strong library narrative using colours as a common thread.

SPORTS CENTER
Architects: Mindspace Area Area of this architecture project Area:3438 m² Year Completion year of this architecture project 2016 Lead Architects: Sanjay Mohe , Arun Kumar, Er. Uday kumar, Er. Adarsh The proposed sports center is planned in proximity to the existing hostel blocks. The planning had to take care of existing trees at the site. Main access and secondary access spines are created using trees as focal points.
The sports facilities are planned in two levels, in response to the contours on site. The structure is designed as a non- building that emerges from the green ground. There is a gradual transition: starting from the pergola-covered double height, which acts as the main circulation spine, up to a semi open verandah and eventually to the enclosed sports hall.
PLANNING Wide steps and platforms located in the sporting facility hold cultural activities and also connect the building to the landscape. The intended concept aims to establish a tranquil relationship between building, human, site and nature. Formal and informal interaction is encouraged through the use of common areas for staff and students. The main materials are stone and concrete, that help unify the new to the existing material in terms of language. Moreover, the sports facilities adhere to International standards.

TERRACE PLAN
MATERIALS As the sun moves, the internal spaces are in transition and the presence of time finds a wonderful expression through the ever-changing light within.
The boundaries between inside and outside are completely blurred and what could have been a harsh palette of materials in the absence of the landscape, is now a backdrop for the rich flora. It is in this act of gently balancing the opposites, that the experience of meandering within the campus is captured
Hand-chipped granite and concrete are the two primary materials that compose the space. Combined with the floors made of rough and polished Kota stone, the buildings create a silent, neutral palette for more animate objects like trees and humans to occupy. IIM Bangalore is a tactile building. The granite walls – now flanked by healthy vegetation receive and release the light gently while in the monsoon, the corridors are swept by mist.
MULTIFOCAL & AMBIGUOUS The architecture of the IIM resists the clear and precise image.Over time and through repetition, one can grasp the arrangement of the plan and the sequence of spaces that flank the corridors but by negating formal clarity, the building gives preference to the experience of traversing through its in-between spaces.
THRESHOLDS
These unique locations in the plan allow the functional spaces to interact and assimilate more freely with the overall scheme creating a set of fluid and easy connections between the spaces for movement .and spaces for work In the third dimension, the plan creates much complexity and layering.One can observe the emphasis on the diagonal while moving throughthe complex as these layers are revealed.
The unveiling of the IIM to an observer leans on a sequence of spatial experiences. The overall sequence of movement from the lush, open campus to the semi-open corridors and eventually to the more enclosed and protected spaces generates The spatial experience is heightened by the frequent changes ofscale and the occasional multiple threshold conditions. breaking of the form of the corridor. The allowance of the landscape to intersperse with the built form enables the building to create soft, loosely defined edges

INFERENCE Functions are grouped and broken down into smaller interlocking courts Zoning influenced from IIMA, and its hierarchy too. Pergolas covering walkways, linking various areas creates a rich play of light and shade. Shifting axis in whole composition, strong vistas are formed at every point. Walls punctured at intervals provide glimpses of nature. Consistent use of granite covered with ivy throughout gives a symbolic image to campus.
