ABOUT The Inter-University Centre for • Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) is an autonomous institution set up by the University Grants Commission to promote nucleation and growth of active groups in astronomy and astrophysics in Indian universities. IUCAA is located in the University of • Pune campus next to the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics, which operates the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. IUCAA has a campus designed by Indian architect Charles Correa. The campus is known for its planning and aesthetics.
ABOUT It is a private biomedical research • foundation. The mission of Foundation is to • "develop programs of advanced biomedical research and provide clinical care of excellence, with focus on translating pioneering scientific discoveries into solutions which can improve the quality of life of individuals around the world. The foundation undertakes research • in the fields of neuroscience and oncology at the modernistic Champalimaud Center for the Unknown in Lisbon.
ABOUT Suzlon's One Earth campus designed • by Ar. Christopher Charles Benninger, is the Global Corporate Headquarter spread over 10 acres of land in Hadapsar, Pune, India. The campus is aptly named One • Earth as Suzlon's business believes in caring for the Earth; it further highlights the earth's unique existence as an eco system, signifies a unified view of the planet and reinforces the company's belief that co-existence and responsible usage of natural resources are the only way to achieve sustainability. LEED Platinum and GRIHA Five star • certified campus and India’s first campus 100% on renewable energy.
ABOUT UWC Mahindra College is a pre• university International Boarding School, located 40 km west of Pune in Maharashtra, India. It follows the International Baccalaureate (IB). It is one of the 18 United World • Colleges. The college is located near the • village of Paud in the Taluka Mulshi region of the western state of Maharashtra, India. It is around 40 km from the city of Pune. The MUWCI campus is situated on a hill surrounded by rural communities and overlooking the valley of the Mula river near Mulshi Dam.
CONCEPT Some of architectural concepts and principles seen in IUCAA are Focus • Hierarchy • Open to sky • Disaggregation • Interaction spaces • The main asset of a scientist are brain and book. The architect has designed spaces which promote productivity. Since the institution is a symbol of experimentation and innovation , the architect has incorporated some astronomical experiments and concepts into design itself.
CONCEPT Correa designed with the belief that • the building should seek to express the true essence and culture of their locations, taking into account the ultimate use of the structure in order to create perfect combination of form and function. Attempted to use nature as therapy. • Use of water around, open sky and • the healing presence of rain forests, these were the three elements used for patients.
CONCEPT Suzlon One Earth derives its • inspiration from large Indian historical campuses like Fatehpur Sikri and the Meenakshi Temple complex in Madurai. This took the shape of a land • Scraper opposing the idea of a Skyscraper. The entire campus is planned on the • lines of sustainability and renewable key energy elements like the sun, wind, water and sky, each denoting a different area of study.
CONCEPT The structures are a kind of mirror, • or reflection, of the mountains surrounding the campus, becoming a miniature model mimicking the jagged contours in the distance. The concept of the campus plan • evolved from that of a mandala. It centers the plan of this diverse, micro cosmos, around an academic quadrangle with passages radiating out from it, offering points of encounter along the way, as well as views towards the valleys in the distance and a series of interconnected, flowing spaces.

PLANNING The architect has taken advantage of • the trees as well as the moderate climate of Pune to create a campus which welcomes and respects nature. The structure has been designed in • such a manner that each and every frame of vision consists a natural element as focus. All spaces are planned around • courtyards.
PLANNING It has curved stone forms with • circular cut away. Comprises two buildings, first • research laboratories and treatment room, second housing an auditorium and exhibition area. A central pathway crosses the site • between the buildings leading towards two monolithic stone sculptures and an outdoor amphitheater. Above the pathway, a glass tubular • bridge connects the two buildings together. The buildings are arranged to create • a 125 m long pedestrian pathway leading diagonally across site, towards open seas.
PLANNING Site is well segregated into various • zones with respect to function Planning revolves around the central • focus, Deep Stambh. Dedicated spaces taking into focus • the elements of sun, wind, water and sky serving as transition spaces between departments. Building covers lesser area (40%) of • site leaving greater green area(60%).
PLANNING Using the auspicious North-South • axis to intersect the sun’s east-west movement in a plan centered on the academic quadrangle, a system of individual structures is laid out, each having their own character and identity, yet integrated via connecting walls and a strong architectural language While the individual buildings enjoy • considerable variety in terms of their generic order, the campus is bound together by a strict system of dimensions, proportions and a materials language.
CLMATE RESPONSE The courtyard play a vital role in • keeping the microclimate cool in summers. The courtyards also fulfill the • purpose of getting rid of hot air in summers, due to which cross ventilation takes place. The proportion of courtyards (except • black hole) and structure height is such that it allows mutual shading in summers. The transition spaces between the • courtyard and the built masses provide protection from sun and rain. The upper floors were protruding • out which automatically shaded the entrance doors or windows on the ground floor. Small green spaces were created at • different parts of the buildings to get in natural light and help in better air circulation.
CLIMATE RESPONSE The Champalimaud Center’s Interior • garden is the most breathtaking taking point of the main building. Covered by a glass pergola, it creates an ideal microclimate for the development of plants from Brazil,Africa,India,Timor and the far east. Considering the Mediterranean • climate, generally hot and dry summers and rainy winters the materials are thoughtfully used.
CLIMATE RESPONSE Usage of native flora. • Minimizing both, environmental • impact and reducing the need for landscaping water. Low energy/ green materials. • Appropriate orientation of the • building facades that ensures adequate day lighting and minimizes glare effect. Aluminum louvers that shade the • interiors while providing ample natural illumination and crossventilation. Large water body in the central court • helps in improving the air quality and for evaporative cooling. They have retained the existing trees • on the site and few more bamboo trees were planted. Bamboo trees are planted because • they need less water.
CLIMATE RESPONSE Climate ranges from hot-dry to cool• rainy to chilly-dry in annual cycle; this is exploited in design as all classroom has verandahs and extend into courtyard. The building blocks are placed in • correspondence to the site slope. Maximum vegetation and forest land • on the site has been retained.

BUILT VS UNBUILT The three courtyards do not act as • individual interaction spaces for activities happening around it. These courtyards are interlinked to each other by semi-open passages which act as transition spaces. The structure has most private spaces opening on the inside of the courtyards, but the design is so that it provides visual connection with the exterior of building. .The form of buildings is simple and • doesn’t overpower nature. The two exposed concrete columns • create dominance over the surrounding landscape and defined the entrance. The central courtyard was • surrounded on all sides by either building facades or walls that had transition spaces which led to different spaces. The two smaller courtyards: One is surrounded by a semi private space that is the Library and the other is surrounded by a private space that is the hostel.
BUILT VS UNBUILT Comprises two buildings, first • research laboratories and treatment room, second housing an auditorium and exhibition area. A central pathway crosses the site • between the buildings leading towards two monolithic stone sculptures and an outdoor amphitheater.

CONNECTIVITY The indoor space was blended with • the outdoor spaces. On all four sides of the courtyard • was a pathway that enabled circulation around the entire courtyard. The paving blocks separated the • vegetation area from the lawn for pedestrian movement
CONNECTIVITY Connecting outdoor spaces to indoor • open space. Linkages were well thought of which • surrounded the structure and eventually connected to open spaces. Linear corridors and simple • circulation pattern throughout the structure.
CONNECTIVITY All circulation spaces are well • connected to the outdoors. Service cores are provided at • appropriate locations for vertical circulation. Well organized spaces, public and • private spaces are mainly subdivided floor wise.
CONNECTIVITY Low covered walkways in teaching • areas provide spaces for informal gathering Covered porches acts as pavilion for • discussions, project meetings and contemplation The academic wing can be accessed • from two roads, by the main road at the entrance or by the pedestrian walkway linking the academic wing to the residential wing. All circulation spaces are well • connected to the outdoors.
SERVICES WATER SUPPLY : The entire IUCAA • campus is provided water by the underground water tanks installed near the recreational centre in the residential block. They use a hydrometric system, which is a pressurized water supply system throughout the campus. There are no overhead water tanks provided in the campus.. ELECTRICITY : The electricity would • be distributed to the different areas in the campus from the meter room placed near the academic block. GARBAGE SEGREGATION : All the • garbage is collected from the campus and then taken to the IUCAA Organic Waste Segregation Centre which is located behind the auditorium, over here the garbage is segregated in dry waste and wet waste. The wet waste is processed to make manure which is then used in the nursery beside. FIRE : At the time the building was • designed and constructed, there were no fire extinguishing facilities provided as the building has a lot of openings and it’s easy to escape in case of a fire.
SERVICES FIRE : Every structure in the complex • connects to outdoor open space. Hence no special fire fighting system is needed. Also max height of built up structure is 7m.
SERVICES PARKING : Staff parking is Provided in basement. 450 Cars, 900 Bike. Visitors parking is provided near the entrance. ELECTRICITY : Floor trunk system is used. 7% of electricity is generated within the campus through solar panels and wind mills. DRAINAGE SYSTEM : Majority of waste is been treated within the campus and further used as a manure. VENTILATORS : Fans are installed in basement parking to remove excess of CO2. These fans work on sensors which gets activated when amount of CO2 increase. RAIN WATER HARVESTING : Capacity of rain water harvesting in the entire campus is 10 lakh litres. Harvested water is used for utility purposes. ORGANIC WASTE CONTROL : Waste generated is recycled and used as manure. Plastic wastes are then distributed to other management areas.

GREENHOUSES The ventilation of greenhouses should be calculated such that, when fully ventilated, the inside temperature can be held close to that outside. For this it is necessary about 20 % of the roof area consists of a ventilation strip or windows that can be individually. An adequate supply of fresh air must also be ensured. While there is a insufficient natural shading from outside it may be necessary to install sun blinds in order to maintain temperature conditions during bright sunshine. Blinds can be installed on the inside or outside of the greenhouse. Although those inside are more economical, exterior blinds are more effective, particularly when there is a sufficient gap between the blinds and the glass.

Hydroponic systems have been utilized as one of the standard methods for plant biology research and are also used in commercial production for several crops, including lettuce and tomato. Within the plant research community, numerous hydroponic systems have been designed to study plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses The use of a hydroponic growth system is most advantageous in situations where the nutrient media need to be well controlled and when intact roots need to be harvested for downstream applications. Key topics for aquaponics include : ideal conditions for common plants grown in aquaponics; chemical and biological controls of common pests and diseases including a compatible planting guide; common fish diseases and related symptoms, causes and remedies; etc.
