ACKNOWLEDGMENT

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT · First of all, am so lucky to have Deepika Ma’am as my thesis guide. She’s a true guide.

· ·

· · · ·

To begin with, the selection of the thesis topic was a formidable task. Thanks to Kanwar Surjit Singh for sensitizing me about socio- cultural part of life. Thanks to Bibek for the project information. I got an early start from Manit Rastogi, Vikram Aditya Prakash and Jaspreet Takher. Thanks Mankotia Sir for the effort. Thanks to you too, Sujay Sir and Shailesh Patel. Am absolutely thankful to Vikas Katoch Sir for his rigorous and amazing moral support and generous help. He gave me all the clues to the site that solved a lot of my problems. Thanks to Harinder Sir for leading me to him. He was great to 'hangout' with and chat with, about CCA, something I'm already getting nostalgic about, can't believe I'll be an alumni soon. I had the best time in Alliance F de Bangalore with Vikas sir. Am an absolute fan of Mr Arvind Lodaya, Dean, for his unrestrained conversation about Srishti. I couldn’t have found a more lucid client brief. His clarity was my good luck. My Bangalore visit would have been plain dull without my good friend Amit. I had the best seven days of my life. Not only did I enjoy his company, the places we went to, the music we shared, but I also learnt about life from him. He's as big an inspiration as good as a friend: for letting me be the best of me. Am lucky to find such a rare friend indeed. I want to thank Sanjana and Gaurav for leading us to the best views of Bangalore: Ebony on th the 13 floor was great! Sanjana you're plain amazing a person. Ar. Moses, for his informative chit chat on professional practice and site information despite being so busy. My warrior of a mother, the best friend, she's someone I can count on and just be myself with. One day, I hope to become at least half as wise as her. Thanks, in fact to Vijay too, for pushing me into the deep end else it wouldn't have been such a struggle. But am glad I did everything, absolutely on my own. Now, I do see the wisdom in your ways. I learnt about professional ethics from you. DJ Neil, Ivan, DJ Naved- you are so going to the top one day. Big fan. Vineet from Google, wow! You're a sweet genius. Ranjit Konkar from NID is an inspiration. Thanks to Harshang in NID. Thanks to Manjula, GCA for sharing with an artist's expectations and desires from a campus. Thanks to Tanvi, the rock star with sun board and Stuti the motherly Photoshoper. Thanks to Shilpa Ahuja, Anish Sir, Anuj Sir and Vinod Sir too. JT, Saumya, Anu, Aditi- thanks for the shoulder when I needed it. One can never be thankful enough. Thanks dad for your short but relevant observations. Thanks Dexter for buying the computer for me! More than an academic process, my thesis has been about making the right choices, recovering from professional setbacks, overcoming hurdles, managing my time, getting inspired, making new friends and thinking in new directions. Its been a process of self discovery. I hope that this compilation adds to your intellectual and creative stimulation. RICHA SARIN

SYNOPSIS

INTRODUCTION “Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers”. Voltaire EVOLUTION IN EDUCATION Educational institutions are indicators of the direction in which a culture intends to be headed in. Built in anticipation of market trends; they represent the value that a community attaches to learning. Education, as a process, can be effective only if it constantly evolves with the society and mirrors its aspirations. This fact is of vital significance in India, which is fast catching up with the world as technological advancement is revolutionizing the content and process of its education. The challenge for educational facilities is to keep up with this evolution. In an inter-connected and multi-ethnic environment like that of India, the challenge extends beyond technological integration/upgradation of the education system into addressing the innate contradictions that arise within it.

ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS It is in this light that the need for a School for Art, Design and Technology emerges. Essentially, it is a setup which “encourages a culture of thinking, questioning and experimenting that harnesses the artistic and intellectual potential of each individual”. Not only to counter sterile, over simplified courses, but also encourage hands on work by providing a course so involving that it is in direct contrast to the distant mode of learning (which is also a by-product of technology). The emergence of such a facility caters to the generation that has been brought up in a cosmopolitan society. It is a think tank for young individuals who are aware of the dichotomy of the Indian culture with the western and are eager to find answers with open minds. The school houses various departments that are very contemporary and overlap each other.

SYNOPSIS PROPOSED PROJECT: SRISHTI SCHOOL OF ART DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY Type: Ownership: Promoters: Sponsored by:

Educational Campus, 10 acres area Private Vijay Mallya and Aditi Group Ratan Tata Trust

The proposed project is to be an educational campus that houses self motivated, talented individuals who are highly aware of the inconsistencies of the world they live in. The curriculum is built on a broad based liberal arts foundation. It has an 'inter-disciplinary approach helps promote self-initiated learning and independent thinking, while expanding perceptual perspectives and developing artistic vocabularies.'

Visual Communication and Design Digital Video Production Furniture & Interior Design Textiles Design Product Design Animation & Visual Effects Experimental Media Arts Design in Education Animation and Visual Effects Game Design

These departments have been structured into courses which are then transformed into the building program. The school is different from a conventional institute. It is 'a permanent center that is ever evolving in its functions as the creative quotient grows within it'. It embodies the spirit of informed minds who choose to apply their sensitivities and skills to bring about intrinsic change in the world around them. Owing to the culture responsive nature of the teaching philosophy, the courses are bound to go through constant change. The aim, thus, is to anticipate those changes and multiply the possibilities of flexible usage.

SYNOPSIS FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS Architectural progress of educational buildings does not imply quantitative massificiation. It implies more robust, flexible, adaptable buildings for a diversified range of courses . The success of such a setup depends on the balance between the managerial and physical combinations. The department is a unit for administering a defined block of courses. The departments for this proposed projects have respective courses cut out for themselves. The yearly intake and time tabling determines the building program i.e. the nature and number of rooms needed for each activity. The building provides and limits the activities that are to be performed in it. Thus, it becomes vital to determine what the building doesn’t do. Functionally, the building should provide room for change.

SYNOPSIS LOCATION :

WHY IN

BANGALORE?

Demographically diverse city ð ð Major economic hub ð Fastest growing major metropolis in India. ð Home to some of the most well-recognized colleges and research institutions in India. ð Numerous public sector heavy industries, software companies, aerospace, telecommunications, and defense organizations are located in the city. ð Silicon Valley of India because of its preeminent position as the nation's leading IT employer and exporter. SITE VALIDITY ð Population : 5,281,927 in the year 2007, third most populous city in India , 27th most populous city in the world. ð Decadal growth rate of 38%, ð Rs 260,260 crore (US$ 100 billion) economy (200203 Net District Income) . With an economic growth of 10.3% ð The city is the third largest hub for high net worth individuals and is home to over 10,000 dollar millionaires and about 60,000 super-rich people who have an investable surplus of Rs. 4.5 crore (US$ 1 million) and Rs. 50 lakh (US$ 116,000) respectively. ð The growth of Information Technology has presented the city with unique challenges.

Ideological clashes

sometimes occur between the city's IT moguls, who demand an improvement in the city's infrastructure and the state government, whose electoral base is primarily the people in rural Karnataka. ð The first printing-press was established in Bangalore in the year 1840.Bangalore got its first radio station All India Radio, the official broadcaster for the Indian Government in 1955. Bangalore has only 48% of local population (i.e.Kannadigas) .Hence a true cosmopolitan with around 25% Tamilians, 14% Telugites, 10% Keralites, 8% Europeans, and 6% a mixture of all races. Thus, a developing community that yearns to achieve a balance between all its components, is the ideal breeding ground and absorber of multi-faceted careers that are created by the School.

SYNOPSIS

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; Bangalore, City of Paradox Since last ten years Bangalore is facing a socio-economical crisis: population explosion, increase in buying power and inflation. Highly proud of being part of the Indian influence on the world, Bangalore likes to show off as a modern and westernized city simultaneously respectful towards Indian traditional values. Let us consider the auto rickshaw as a constant element throughout the country. By comparison with rest of the country we can try to understand the lifestyle we are to point out: here in Bangalore, the rickshaw driver speaks fluent English, drives with an earphone linked to his mobile and smokes cigarette rather than bidie. Rampant race toward modernity put Bangalore in an ambiguous and paradoxical situation: it seems to have mortgaged its multiple heritages for this dream of techno city, which it seems unable to realize. At present, Bangalore is definitely trapped into an inbetween situation offering neither the vivacity of the traditional city nor the efficiency of a modern one.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

SYNOPSIS

THESIS VALIDITY 1. The campus is the first tangible indication to future pupils about the intentions of the organization and often becomes the most important subconscious reason for their getting enrolled . The success of a new, upcoming institution depends on how well it is able to transform its ideology into the building. It is a major responsibility of administrative authorities to provide a quality campus. 2.Increased awareness and open mindedness of clients allows for great opportunities to make educational campuses the testing grounds for contemporary architectural ideas and experimentation. 3. Creative handling is needed between the varied functions which range from specialized to general to informal and often contrast in the environments they generate. 4. The repute of an educational Institute is intended to grow with time and the school building tends to command a heritage status as time proceeds. The feelings of nostalgia for the ‘Alma mater’ become the most vivid memory a professional carries throughout his life. 5. The campus for such a system that relies on live projects needs to initiate and attract visitor

participation from all walks of life. Project partners vary from hi-tech firms to low budgeted communal projects. 6. The design has to address variation in occupancy duration ranging from decades for a teacher to years for a student and much less time for short term visitors. 7. Being a creative institution, the informal spaces play a major role in becoming ‘places’ for origin of new ideas. The environment plays a crucial role. 8.The creation of informal spaces that encourage interaction and reflect student teacher visitor relationships becomes a prime focus.

JUSTIFICATION OF SUCH A STUDY 1. Foreseen demand in the future for similar setups. 2. Lack of precedents for campuses with similar alternate approach to education . 3. Studying a building typology while it is in its transformation.

SYNOPSIS

ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT 1. The educational sector is undergoing a rapid transformation and adopting multi pronged approach to education. More and more universities are proposing to set up inter disciplinary institutes. 2. Moreover, as a building typology the college campus is undergoing major organ transplants. New means of education are upgrading the three Systems of informational exchange- Video, Voice, Data. 3. This thesis addresses this phenomenon of change of the educational institute both in terms of the educational program and the building program. 4. Development is the single preoccupation of all civilizations after survival. It is on an insightful level that the needs of specialized further education can be addressed. This school is a project that deals with intellectual resources and canalizing it towards the development of the community. It is a lateral method of injecting creative fluids into the society.

5. This school becomes a tangible icon of this wave of change that is sweeping the society. Architecturally, it shall stand for all the ideologies that are of core importance to this organization.

ARCHITECTURAL CHALLENGES 1. Recognizing the magnitude of incorporation of technology into the education institute that will take place in the future generation and provide scope for it. 2. Addressing issues of flexibility and adaptability and creating an environment that is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pliable but not anonymousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. 3. Evolving an architectural vocabulary for departments like Interactivity and wellness that are both contemporary in origin but diametrically opposite in their approach while solving all the prevalent issues of Campus designs. 4. Experimenting with the paradox between energy consciousness and interactivity. 5. Addressing questions of identity and place making.

SYNOPSIS

AIM: to develop sensitivity towards campus planning for tangential educational strategies while incorporating concepts of interactivity within it.

MAJOR OBJECTIVES: 1. Understanding the ideology of the school and translating it into the built form. 2. Studying site and climate responsive design methods to find context specific solutions. 3. Focus on aspects of site planning. 4. Evolving an architectural vocabulary wrt form, materials, shape and scale of the project. 5. Undertake a spatial analysis and detail out the building design. 5. Integrating infrastructure with the building program. 6. Integrating technology with the building program.

MINOR OBJECTIVES: 1. Addressing issues of Identity, familiarity and place making in the design. .2. Studying the role of Space Conditioning in architectural environments. The keywords being Healthy, Safe, Clean and with thermal, visual and auditory comfort.

ADVANCED OBJECTIVE: Studying the scope of Interactivity in Architecture through contemporary materials and techniques and translating the sensory experiences- warmth, excitement, repose into recognizable building aspects that promote real user response. Interactivity is the means through which a user can become fully immersed in an interactive experience and can control the product. The Internet has become the prime model of an interactive system. Interactivity can occur at many different levels and it is the degrees of engagement that differentiate between these levels: - USE-TO-USER INTERACTION VIA THE INTERNET- para-social interaction, where new forms of media are generated online; - USER-TO-SYSTEM INTERACTIVITY which is the way devices can be engaged with by a user. This new technological achievement is changing in the mere definition of experience and perception. Thereby, sending conventional architectural definitions of space and sensory experiences for a spin. The objective will be to study the consequences of this paradigm shift.

LITERATURE REVIEW © VISION

OF THE INSTITUTE (SRISHTI)

‘ The vision is to build a teachable and learnable transparent body of knowledge for the extended art and design community based on a collaborative learning platform, which can be referenced and made freely accessible. The facilitative mode of instruction shall be based on the instructors' personal passions and missions and not on craft and vocational expertise, the latter can and will be provided on a course to course basis according to requirement. Course locations for this reason may or may not be always in house and a group of students may have to travel for a part or whole or a number of courses sometimes almost in a spirit of an internship. Certain inputs may even be provided online. Reason for this is to provide for the students the best that is available regardless of location.’ © OBJECTIVE OF SRISHTI: providing art and design education in an environment of creativity and

maximizing individual potential. © ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE: a “community of learners” © APPROACH: inter-disciplinary approach to promote self-initiated learning, independent

thinking, while expanding perceptual perspectives & developing artistic vocabularies.

ÂŠ PROTOTYPE STUDY-

Nanyang School of Art, Design & Media, Singapore

The school curriculum is developed around Interdisciplinary learning in Design & Media and offers majors in - Visual Communication; Product Design, Interactive Media; Digital Filmmaking; Digital Photography and Imaging; Emotive Robotics and Digital Animation. Students are encouraged to explore and inter-disciplinary experience across multiple domains even in connection with engineering disciplines. + The 5 story facility sweeps a wooded corner of the campus with an organic, vegetated form that blends landscape and structure, nature and high-tech and symbolizes the creativity it houses.

Aerial view of the school

+ The curving green roofs distinguish the building from among the other structures; the line between landscape and building is blurred. + The roofs serve as informal gathering spaces challenging linear ideas and stirring perception. + The roofs create open space, insulate the building, cool the surrounding air and harvest rainwater for landscaping irrigation. + Planted grasses mix with native greenery to colonize the building and bind it to the setting.

LITERATURE REVIEW

This design seems to offer a new experience at every elevation or perspective fulfilling the intent that a “school for art should inspire creativity.” Glass Façade: + high performance building envelope + reduces solar gain and heat load + allows the benefits of natural views and daylight into creative spaces. The glass walls provide a visual exchange between indoors and out allowing students and teachers to experience the building, the surrounding landscape and the interior plaza as fluid spaces. + Diffused natural daylight is abundant throughout studios and classrooms, filtered through the surrounding foliage. + Finishes are intentionally raw to act as a backdrop for the art, media and design projects. Concrete walls and columns, cement-sand screeded floors, timber railings and a neutral palette define the interior spaces which vary in shape and size. The vison of the School ‘to change rigid perception’ has been translated directly into a form with ever changing perspectives. The form becomes the metaphor of change as if to facilitate the flow of creative ideas.

The entire facade display is roughly 24,000 squaure feet. © Each of the 2,292 glass panels has a color changing LED fixture mounted behind it and is a 'pixel' in the large format low-res display. © © Integrated photovoltaic cells mean that the panels both emit and absorb energy in the form of LED and sun light, thus reinforcing Giostra's vision of 'technological self sufficiency.’ © During the daytime however, when sun obscures the LED light, Giostra had to make the passive elements of the facade appear dynamic. He accomplished this by varying opacity and mounting angle (5°) of the glass panels as well as by carefully arranging the integrated PV cells to form a dynamic pattern. The result is a facade that appears to undulate with the rhythm of the environment day and night. © Interestingly, the entire system is a total of seven feet thick including glass panels, structure, power and data infrastructure, LED lighting fixtures and a maintenance access space.

LITERATURE REVIEW

PROTOYPE STUDY- BION Adam Brown and Andrew Fagg Bion is an interactive installation that explores the relationship between humans and artificial life. “Bion” makes reference to an individual element of primordial biological energy identified as orgone by the scientist Wilhelm Reich. The installation is composed of hundreds of mass-produced, 3-dimensional glowing and chirping sculptural forms. Each bion, measuring approximately 4×3×2 ½ inches is an synthetic “life-form” fitted with an audio speaker, blue lights (LED's), and multiple sensors. The bions are suspended by fine gage wire connected to panels that are attached to the ceiling. When installed the panels form clusters of bions arranged at different elevations. Each bion has the ability to communicate with the others and with viewers that enter the space. When a viewer approaches the installation space she will witness a dynamic array of blips of sound and blue light emanating in cloud like patterns from all parts of the room. She notices that the source of the light and sound come from hundreds of small organic shaped forms called bions . The bions are communicating, unaware of the approaching visitor.One of the bions is alerted to the presence of a stranger and quickly communicates the information to the swarm of bions . One by one, in rapid succession, bions signal other bions of the stranger and in a wave like pattern become silent. The bions eventually become accustomed to her presence and begin to respond to her as if she was part of their ecosystem. They become attracted to her and glow more intensely when she nears. Eventually, she is incorporated into the dynamic array she once witnessed.

CASE STUDY

CEPT, AHEMDABAD Q. WHAT MAKES CEPT CAMPUS effective? A. The role reversal of the domain of the student and teacher as compared to average schools. Its interpretation of definition of indoors vs outdoors. Holding a lecture on the mound stretches the comfort zone of the teachers to the outdoors which is rarely the case in most campuses. The indoor studios are cubicle like space pockets where every student is allowed to customize their space down to the light fixture. This facility allows students to feel free, ironically, in a very small space. The spaces are more like dens where students love to spend time. Q. HOW HAS THIS BEEN ACHIEVED ARCHITECTURALLY? A. 1. WALLS = DOORS= WINDOWS The facade consists of pivoted doors that open up, so that the enclosure looks like a pocket created by three walls, not the conventional four.

2. UNLOADED CORRIDORS Which is to mean that the corridor is not bound by walls on either side but is a thoroughfare that cuts through the heart of each studio- a deliberate step to encourage peeping and work top interaction.

Brick adds intimacy of scale Massive load bearing walls- ideal display space Punctures in the building Coupled with level changes- keep all distances very intimate.

CASE STUDY

NID, BANGALORE 1. When the ramps or circulation does not become break out spaces, the only space that is left is the café which has been designed consciously and successfully to be the hub of informal activity; A place where students and teachers can co exist peacefully. 2. The circular planning caters to the students need of ‘tracking’ the teacher- from all points in the campus the teacher can be located. The faculty lounge was glass clad for the same reason. 3. Plastered corridor walls discourage display as question of maintenance arises. More so if the walls are curved.

COMMUNAL METHODS of design need brainstorming areas within studios which are intimate in scale and stimulating with ample display space.

INTERACTION Rigid planning discourages interaction. Pockets of space - open/semi open should be created for peer interaction which is essential. Seemingly Random Display of Design Work should be positioned to evoke spontaneous response. Display in Glass Cases - too formal to work.

STUDIOS should provide for mutiple display spaces. Connection with outdoors is essential. SCHOOL OF ART, DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY, BANGALORE, INDIA srishti

FILM Areas need complete comfort conditioning sound, noise, dust proof. Space needed for placing footwear outside. Interaction with exterior can only be through double glazed windows. Can be located as a dark room in the plan.

Presentation/ display - needs intimate scale and lighting. Wall surfaces should be maintenace free & tolerate use of adhesive, tape, paints. Projector & Screen vital. Circulation should facilitate process of display.

COMPUTER LABS Neutral palette should act as the backdrop for often very colorful display. Interior should not compete with the design work. Lighting control is essential. Adjoining green terrace would be ideal place for taking breaks.

MIRAMBIKA, N DELHI BY Ar SANJAY PRAKASH

NON - ELEVATION The design principles of this school building represent theIdeology behind its program. The permeability, freedom from doors and glass and windows, with only nature as the screen sends out a subconscious message. The ideology can be read as being more coherent with the world view and it only screens out undesirable elements through the use of basic principles. More fundamental in their approach, not a victim of consumerism. Tranquil not rushed. Do not feel the need to ‘label’ anythingmakes it meditative.

POETICS Poetic gesture - building becomes a part of the child’s play ORTHOGONAL PLAN Repititve modules, varying in height can be repeated over and over to create an acceptable plan for future growth as well.

CASE STUDY

INTERVIEW WITH Mr Arvind Lodaya, Dean of Projects, Srishti ON THE INTAKEWe pick students who are emotionally mature to handle fuzziness, who are self motivated and can deal with lack of structure. Our aim is to create visionaries- It is the job of our school to cull it out and not constrain it in terms of discipline. ON DISPLAY We encourage display of not only the product but also the process as peer learning is often more meaningful. ON A NEW CAMPUS Everyone wants constant interplay with the natural elements. No A/c, No fixed glass. Natural materials: Rich in texture and sensations - like to hear the rain fall outside, Like the shade of a plant on my window. Building should serve as the backdrop, not be the highlight in itself Some spaces can and should be dramatic for provocation. More than visual connectivity we need mental connectivity. We don’t particularly like the dark room ambience where eye contact is not possible. On Location We would like to be at the heart of the community- maybe through art and cultural center, a center where people can walk in & out. In fact we want it to be POROUS, someone even coined the term Permeable Institute to describe our aspirations. Keywords would have to be- new, fresh, interesting, fascinating, it would have to keep on changing responsively. It should have low env impact We like the jhopad patti concept that is built as per need and is essentially organic. ON DESIGN PROPERTYWe encourage the students to contribute to the flow- and tell them ‘nothing is yours anyways’. We believe in communal design where ideas flow in and out from one mind to another. The new campus would have to depict that.

INFERENCES CORRIDOR

1. Doubly loaded corridors- will force students to ‘hang out’ in undefined spaces- conversation will rarely be about work. 2. Singly loaded wide corridor with formal display space- will encourage individual students ( whose work is on display) and adds ‘pride’ or value to the product. But adds the sense of looking ‘down’ upon something that has been ‘encased’ and conversation will tend to be opinionated.

3. Singly loaded corridor connected with informal display- will encourage more and more students to display it, it is more democratic, sets the tone of the conversation. And allows the observer to really experience the display without mental prejudice.

INFERENCES

CLASSROOM For an unstructured teaching method, the classroom has to be ‘an envelope’ ready to serve, be customized as needed and cannot be laid out formally. The light in the classroom effects state of mental alertness and should allow for all kinds of permutations and combinations

STUDIO A customizable den/ nest for every student creates sense of belonging and encourages students to work. Visual connectivity to the landscaped/ relaxed environment is indicative of freedom of thought. Desired- Customizable light fixture, Ample storage, strategically located electric points.

LAB 1. Interior has to comply with regulations, but adjoining area has to have some lounge like space connected to an outdoor green relaxation are with fresh air or the café itself. 2. Space for placing bags, footwear is an eyesore and creative handling is needed. 3. View of outdoor not easily permissible due to light control needed.
