INDIA INTERNATIONAL CENTRE, DELHI
CONCEPT: The buildings of the cnetre are located in an ideal environment. Situated in the heart of New Delhi, the Centre is adjacent to the Lodhi gardens overlooking a magnificinet landscape of gardens and historic monuments from the sixteen century. The Centre’s beautiful and low-profile buildings express, as the architect JOSEPH ALLEN STEIN himself said, the ‘informal or romantic approach, where each function seeks out its own expression’.
Three separate wings of the IIC complex are designed to reflect the different functional aspects of the Centre. A grand central portico greets the visitor at the entrance driveway, extending across a northsouth axis Each courtyard and each wing seves a different purpose Residential rooms in the north wing, the dining areas in the west and the third complex of the library, auditorium and administration offices in the south wing, are connected to each other by walkways with overhanging eaves.

INDIA INTERNATIONAL CENTRE, DELHI
The use of jaalis (latticed screens) structured the façade of the guesthouse and provided shade to those inside, without, however, imitating the patterns used in the tombs, but rather reinterpreting them in a contemporary idiom.
The auditorium roof is made entirely of ‘Y’ shaped precast elements assembled together at joint to form a 6 sided domical structure. This dome too, derives its inspiration from the octagonal domes of the Lodhi tombs next door.
INFERENCE
• Use of local materials and new construction techniques indigenous to the craft and culture of the place.
• The response of building form and elevation to the site context i.e. of Lodhi Garden and the tombs
• The scale and proportion used are very humane and merge with the surrounding landscape.
• Creation of a micro climate with each wing facing a courtyard and a water body.
• Segregation of public and private spaces without creating a barrier of any sorts. A porous structure elevating the theme of a public space.
• Defined vehicular and pedestrian access.

BHARAT BHAVAN, BHOPAL
One of the most unique national institute in India, Bharat Bhavan is a centre for performing and visual arts.

CASE STUDY 02 BHARAT BHAVAN, BHOPAL
CONCEPT: built into a hillside which slopes down toward a lake, a series of terraces and courtyards comprise the complex. The route though the terraces encourages movement down the site’s natural gradient, with the courtyards providing tranquil spaces for rest and relaxation. The dialogue between these two components creates an ebb and flow of energy around the complex, in what Correa described as a “Ritualistic Pathway”.
The complex is shaped by its environment, with climate control as a primary factor. Hence the “opento-sky spaces” ideal for the Indian weather. The sunken courtyards at Bharat Bhavan provide shade from the scorching midday sun, while the raised terraces offer refreshing air and spaces of the site, with concrete ‘shells’ atop the structure allowing light and air to pour through their circular openings.

SPATIAL ORGANIZATION: Upon entering, the visitor has the choice of following the path of terraces cascading down to the lake, or descending to the three courtyards which provide access to the majority of the cultural facilities. These include contemporary art galleries, a museum of tribal art, an auditorium, a library of Indian poetry, a print shop, and a studio for an artist-in-residence. From the courtyards, wide glass-panelled openings to the buildings ensure the arts program is both literally and figuratively accessible to all. At the bottom of the site sits an amphitheatre, where open-air performances take place with the lake forming a natural backdrop.

• The terraces and open to sky spaces bind the built mass into an experiential walk for the visitors.
• Courtyards act as important tools for place making
• The project is a success as a public space, and becomes active in the evening with families and visitors from the neighborhood.
• Site is entirely pedestrian. However, universal access is a problem due to mainly stairs.
• The nature of public space created is inward looking, with volumes containing from the outside.
• Activity in the night can be credited to the various events that the place hosts.
• Materials used for cladding- brick and red sandstone- blend with the context.

SITE ANALYSIS
TOPOGRAPHY:
● The site is an open field and relatively flat without any level.
● The site is logged with water during rainy seasons
Inference: there will be less hindrance in the use of the site as it is relatively flat but water logging problem has to be considered while designing
HYDROLOGY:
● There are no water bodies in the site but there’s a stream along the site boundary
Inference: since there are no water bodies available, artificial water bodies has to be introduced if needed
SOIL TYPE:
● Alluvial soil type
Inference: the soil type is fine for plantations and vegetations
VEGETATION:
● The site is filled with low grasses and shrubs along the boundary.
● No trees existed in the site.
Inference: The grass has to be cleared for construction and new trees should be added
