1 CHAPTER-1-LITERATURE REVIEW
The chapter consist of literature review on orphanage. This section provides a
descriptive information about history , role, characteristics of orphanage and statement
to the problems for the same.
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC
Nearly two thousand years ago, the Roman architect Vitruvius wrote that architecture
should provide firmness, commodity, and delight. It is the definition of “delight” that
still troubles us today. This is especially so on college campuses. Many who try to give
voice to what it is that brings delight in a building or an arrangement of buildings may
mention the design, the placement on the site, the choice of building materials, the
ornamentation, or the landscaping.
1.2 INSTITUTIONS
 "A campus is the mirror of a college or university's soul, reflecting its history, its
culture and image, its management style, and even its future. It tells all who visit it
how it thinks about itself and the way it expects others to judge it. " -JERRY
SERACUSE
 A University is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which
awards academic degrees in various academic disciplines. Universities typically
provide undergraduate education and postgraduate education. – TOM WILHSONS
1.3 ARCHITECTURE
 "Architecture is full of romantics who think that even relatively small changes to
the built environment create the aspiration for a better society." - Mark Wingley
 "Architecture is too complex for just one person to do it, and I love collaboration."
– Richard Rogers.
 "Architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities and buildings
actually fit with the way we want to live our lives: the process of manifesting our
society into our physical world.” - BjarkeIngels.
 "Architecture is unnecessarily difficult. It's very tough." - ZahaHadid.
1.4 AUTONOMOUS UNIVERSITY
 “University autonomy, specifically in reference to academic approach, staffing,
internal decision-making, and financial practices, in combination with proper
funding, is likely to enable universities to produce graduates with better
competencies and to enhance both the quality and quantity of research output. In
turn, improved graduate competencies and university research output contribute to
labor productivity and economic innovation. Increasing autonomy for universities
should be a high priority for policymakers.” – Jo Ritzen

1.4.1 AS PER MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE AND DEVELOPMENT


(MoHRD)
Autonomous colleges should fulfil the objectives of the National Education Policy
(1986-92).
All Colleges under Section 2(f) & 12(b) of the UGC Act are eligible under the
Scheme. Criteria for identification of institutions for grant of autonomy are as
follows:
a. Academic reputation and previous performance in university examinations and its
academic/co-curricular/extension activities in the past.

Page 4
SCHOOL OF PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE: VASANT KUNJ 2019

b. Academic/extension achievements of the faculty.


c. Quality and merit in the selection of students and teachers, subject to statutory
requirements in this regard.
d. Adequacy of infrastructure, for example, library, equipment, accommodation for
academic activities, etc.
e. Quality of institutional management.
f. Financial resources provided by the management/state government for the
development of the institution.
g. Responsiveness of administrative structure.
1.5 BIOPHILIC ARCHITECTURE
 Biophilia is defined from the Greek root meaning love of nature –Erich Fromm in
1964
 The biophilia hypothesis taken together with the positive physiological effects on the
human body and brain observed during contact with nature have led many to suggest
that biophilia could actually be used and applied to different sectors of the built
environment and human life in order to improve health, well-being, and productivity.
The application of connecting humans to nature within the manmade world has been
termed biophilic design. –Abbey Lerner in 2016.
1.6 HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE
Since the dawn of humanity, we have been observing and practising architecture.
ancient human civilization gives us proof of the presence of architecture in this world.
Architecture is one of the prime and important elements of the development of
civilizations.
Food, cloth and shelter are three primary needs of human, the History of Architecture
starts where the started searching for shelter, later they started building their own
dwellings. Although the house is the prime structure used by humans, later on, the other
buildings like a town hall, gathering buildings, library etc. were introduced to the
civilization and along with houses, these buildings became the prime buildings of
civilization.
In India, God is treated as a supreme body and is devoted more than king and god were
treated with supremacy in Architecture also, for that Temples were built and became
the prime building in the civilization.

1.6.1 INTRODUCTION OF ARCHITECTURAL INSTITUTIONS IN INDIA


The antecents of contemporary architecture and architecture and architectural education
in india go back about 200 years during the period of colonization in India, british
started building iconic and supreme buildings in India such as Courts, Palaces,
Parliament house and cantonments etc. they use their architectural feature while
designing these building. But , as the year pass by british architects got inspired by
Indian architecture and invented new style which is known as “Indo-sarcenic
architecture”
In late 19th century people of India tried to study in the field of architecture along with
british and gain education in Architecture field, for this the first Architecture college in
India and Asia “Sir J.J. School of Architecture was established in 1913.Provision of

Page 5
SCHOOL OF PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE: VASANT KUNJ 2019

quality education in field of architecture. Sir J.J. School of Architecture was the only
college in India providing Architectural education in India.
As year passed the scope of architectural education increase which increase the demand
of Architectural institutions in India. After Independence the major Architectural
institutes were established in India some of them are CEPT Ahemdabad, IIT
Kharagpur, rachnasansad and many more but of them is School of Planning and
Architecture, Delhi established in 1941 that is prior independence which is National
Institute for Architectural education in India like IIT‟s.

1.6.2 SCHOOL OF PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE (S.P.A)


School of Planning and Architecture (SPA) are a group of autonomous public institute
for higher education under ministry of Ministry of Human Resource Development,
Government of India. There are 3 listed SPA in India among which the first and the
oldest one is SPA Delhi (SPA–D) established in 1941 and newer one SPA Bhopal
(SPA-B) and SPA Vijaywada (SPA-V) both established in 2008.
Each SPA is autonomous and exercise independent control over its day-to-day
operations. However, the administration of all SPA‟s and the overall strategy of
SPA‟s are overseen by the SPA council. The SPA council is headed by India‟s
Minister of Human Research Development and consist of the chairpersons and
directors of all SPA‟s and senior officials from MHRD.

1.7 JUSTIFICATION FOR NEED OF TOPIC


WHY ARCHITECTURE INSTITUTE?
 As an architecture student I have experienced that in every education campus the
faculty of architecture is located of a single floor with typical four studios, staff
rooms, library, a hall and classrooms. This decrease the exploration of ideas and scope
of creativity and also the students have to share their residential units with the
students of other faculty
 There is a need of an architectural institute which not only provides education but also
to explore construction technique, design method, etc. and such institute are few in
northern India.
 Architecture is the stream where hand, heart and mind should work all together in
presence of nature.
1.8 WHY SCHOOL OF PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE ?
 SPA is premier institute in India in Architecture field and one of the oldest institutes
in India and mostly preferred by any student pursuing Bachelors , Masters and
Doctorate degree in architecture field.
 As SPA provides vast topic for selection to pursue Masters and Doctrate degree in
architecture .
1.9 WHY BIOPHILIC DESIGN ?
 The site for new campus of SPA Delhi is proposed in the central reserve which
consist of rich natural vegetation of flora and fauna
 Architecture is a hectic and extremely tough course so a relaxing and calming or self
healing architecture can enhance the students productivity and imagination.
 The site itself portrays some landscape features such as small canyons, natural water
body and woodlands. So it‟s important to retain the site in it‟s original posture.

2 CHAPTER-2-THEORATICAL FRAMEWORK
This chapter consists of the need, motivation, aim, objective, scope and limitation of the
project. It also comprises of methodology to achieve the objective of the project. It also
includes the live and literature case studies on orphanages.
2.1 MOTIVATION
India has only 50,000 registered architects as against the requirement of 5,00,000.
“With the current growth of commercial &residential spaces we‟re not producing
architects”. Says vijayshrikrishna, president, COA. ON 200+ Architectural colleges in
India, the number of private colleges are five times higher than the govt.institution
which are just 38-43.The intake is limited to 40-80 per school and each year around
3,500 architect‟s passout“It‟s not shortageof colleges but also about the quality. The
architecture education must need the profession, and not the way round,” insists
NeerjaTiku, Former Head, Department of Architecture,SPA-D, New Delhi. This
shortage of autonomous institutions in architecture is a concern in architectural field
.which is also attracting attraction of MoHRD which influenced govt. to set up more
autonomous institution of architecture all across the india . as we all know SPA-D is
one of the first institute providing education in art and architecture since 1941 . It‟s on
of the most prestigious institutions for education of architecture in india. The new
proposed campus at vasantkunj attracted my interest
2.2 AIM

2.7.1.11 INFRENCES
1.Optimum use of sunlight by using roof lights and curvilinear roof is used for capturing
north light.
2. Perforated pre-cast concrete blocks were used to cut down the south sun and was
effectively used to create a pattern on flooring.
3.Ventilation is from small windows. Present on the outside walls. The north side
windows were large and near the ceiling.
4. curvilinear roofs help in evenly lighting of corridor and internal spaces.
2.7.1.12 DE-MERITS-
1. Even the small ventilators on south side causes glare in the studios in day time.
2. The uneven spacing of a faculty rooms create very awkward relationship between
students & faculty.
3. Courtyard is the only interaction space in the college.
4. Courtyard that might have been exploited for natural lighting has not been used for
such purpose

2.7.2 CENTRE OF ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING & TECHNOLOGY


(CEPT)
In 1962, The school of architecture was founded under the auspices of Ahmedabad
education society. Space was allocated to the school within the LD College of arts.
Balkrishnavithaldasdoshi and his colleagues developed spaces, forms and details
which would put this building on the world map of architectural excellence. The
tradition of thinking of indoor as well as outdoor spaces as usable for teaching reflects
the underlying philosophy of a learning environment where nothing was boxed into
hard categories; an environment open in both spirit, use as well as physical form and
such philosophies hold good till date.
 One of the best example of spatial planning with interesting pathways.
 The concept changed from architecture as the technical discipline to architecture
as a design discipline.

2.7.2.13 INFERENCES
1.A wonderful example of biophillic design which connects the indoor and outdoor spaces
and let the users to inhale the outdoor spaces.
2.Noglastic use of north sun light which adds beauty to the double hieghted studios.
3. Double hieghted studios and mezzanine creates a interaction between the users.
4. South light have been used optimally to reduce heating effect.
5. Maximum use of easily available material that is concrete and bricks.
6. It‟s a good example of site reconnaissance and effective development of countored site.
7. Strong visual connenction and accidental interaction spaces made it more beautiful.
2.7.2.14 DE-MERITS
1.Even the school of architecture is spacious and well ventilated, it is too dark at the day
time also.
2.The whole building is at different levels, and very few ramps were made which makes the
circulation
in the campus difficult for differently abled.

2.7.3 YALE ARCHITECTURE BUILDING, NEW HAVEN,


CONNECTICUT
One of the earliest known examples of Brutalist architecture in America is Paul
Rudolph's Yale Art and Architecture Building in New Haven, Connecticut, an
imposing, fortress-like building that juxtaposes masses of textured concrete with
layers of steel-framed glazing.
Brutalism historically frequently used to build educational building, high rise housing
and shopping malls.
Completed in 1963, the building is formed of intersecting volumes of bush-
hammered concrete. Smooth concrete and glass horizontal elements are supported by
a sequence of towers that protrude above the roof in a series of turrets.

2.7.3.2 SITE SURROUNDINGS


“Although Rudolph‟s design had its defenders, many saw the building‟s
hulking forms and rough textures as abrasive. Since its completion, the iconic
building has dominated the downtown commercial district over which it
presides”

2.7.3.3 ABOUT THE PROJECT


Rudolph envisioned the building as a teaching tool, peppering his Modernist castle
with fragments of history: plaster casts of Assyrian reliefs and Parthenon friezes; Le
Corbusier‟s Modular measure; original Louis Sullivan gates; and locally salvaged
Ionic capitals. Incorporated with remarkable self-confidence despite the
contemporary sway of Bauhaus ahistoricism, many of these items have been
preserved or restored.
2.7.3.4 CLIMATE
TEMPERATURE- Over the course of a year, the temperature typicallyvaries from -
4°C to 28°C and is rarely below -12°C or above 31°C.
PRECIPITATION- The probability that precipitation will be observed at this location
varies throughout the year. Precipitation is most likely around February 10, occurring
in 45% of days. Precipitation is least likely around September 11, occurring in 34% of
days.

Page 27
SCHOOL OF PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE: VASANT KUNJ 2019

SNOW- The likelihood of snow falling is highest around February 1, occurring in 24%
of days. The season in which it is relatively likely for snow to fall spans from
November 26 to April 7.

2.7.3.9 INFRENCES
 Heavy columns and textured use of exposed concrete creates a visual texture to wall
which shows variable texture with the changing daylight.
 For the project team in 2006, the task was imposing: restore a controversial,
commanding piece of American architectural heritage while introducing new
infrastructure and sustainability measures. To honour the Modernist cult figure
Rudolph had become after he designed this monument to the architecture
department that defined them.
 Rudolph envisioned the building as a teaching tool, peppering his Modernist castle
with fragments of history: plaster casts of Assyrian reliefs and Parthenon friezes;
Le Corbusier‟s Modular measure; original Louis Sullivan gates; and locally

 E.C.S. TO BE PROVIDED IN BASEMENT @ 32sq.mt./CAR

3.1.6 SITE SURROUNDINGS:-


 VEGETATION:-
From a barren piece of land in 2004 to a lush-green sanctuary hosting birds,
mammals, reptiles, rare ayurvedic plants, butterflies and other insects, the
Aravalli Biodiversity Park is the most incredible ecological transformation
that Delhi has seen so far.
Spread across 692 acres of land, the park in VasantVihar is currently hosting
20 distinct forest communities (group of tress).
In approximately eight years, since the plantation began in 2005, the
biodiversity park has become a home for over 1,000 different species of
plants, 190 species of birds, 90 species of butterflies and over a lakh species of
insects and 24 species of reptiles.

 SOIL TYPE AND CONDITIONS:-


The Aravallis are rich in minerals and mining in the hill range for red badarpur
sand, silica, quartz and other stones has been on for decades. These materials
are always in demand for building activities and construction in and around
Delhi.The land under Aravalli Biodiversity Park was once a site for mining.
Martha Shinde (Scindias) had a mining lease for the 2.3 km² area. They
plundered out whatever they could. For years Shinde exploited forest
resources including minerals, mica, sand, stone, rocks and water. Land, which
once was covered with a dense forest, soon turned into pits and hillocks. A
rangeland with native grasses has been developed and a systematic planting
program is carried out and every year native trees and bushes are planted to
remove unwanted weeds, i.e. Prosopisjuliflora. A conservatory of butterflies,
orchidarium and fernery has been developed.

SILICA STONE
Silica minerals make up approximately 26 percent of Earth‟s crust by weight and are
second only to the feldspars in mineral abundance. Free silica occurs in many
crystalline forms with a composition very close to that of silicon dioxide, 46.75
percent by weight being silicon and 53.25 percent oxygen.
QUARTZITE STONE
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock made almost entirely of the mineral quartz. Quartzite
begins its geologic life as sand grains, perhaps on a beach, desert dune, or riverbed.
Over time, the sand grains become compressed and stuck together to form sandstone.
If the sandstone gets buried ever more deeply underneath layers of rocks, it gets hotter
and more compressed. With enough heat and pressure, the sand grains lose their
original shape and fuse to their neighbors, forming a dense, durable rock.
ALLUVIAL
Alluviul is typically made up of a variety of materials, including fine particles of silt
and clay, and larger particles of sand and gravel. The deposits often contain valuable
ores known as placer deposits. Alluvium often contains valuable ores such as gold and
platinum and a wide variety of gemstones.
BADARPUR SAND
Badarpur Sand or Known as Stone Dust these days are widely used in building
construction. Stone Dust (Badarpur Sand) is a substitute for River Sand which is
manufactured by crushing either granite or basalt rock using 3 stage crushing process
by some companies.

3.1.7 CULTURE :-
The Ridge area comprises fractured weathered quartzite rocks that have developed
cracks over millions of years of their evolution. Thanks to very little alluvium soil
over these rocks, rainwater seeps down in its most pristine form here.
The Aravali Bio diversity Park is formed out of degraded land reclaimed from the
business house of Scindias who had a mining lease for the 2.3 sq.km area. This means
that anything that can be plundered out of the forest/earth including mica, sand and
water have all been taken out. So instead of the sprawling forest the ridge was once,
we have land pockmarked by pits and hillocks with "VilayatiKeekar" growing all
over, thanks to the areal seeding done by the forest department.

3.1.8 SITE APPRECIATION


The site is a typical Aravali hill terrain. Shaped in a circle segment, the site is
bounded by the circular main road one side and the private hotel property on the one
side. A low height boundary wall all along demareates the rear of the site. The site is
free from encumbrances and accessible from a vast frontage. There is a significant
depression gorge almost in the middle of the site, rendering the buildable use of the
gorge – portion a considerable challenge. Currently, the gorge is thickly vegetated,
mostly with trees and interspersed with Aravali Shrubs. The gorge at its deepest
pointcould be as much as 8m from the flatted portion.
Rest of the site can be apprised in three distinct typologies. The flat part in the front
along the road is maintained clear of shrubs. The second typology of the site portion is
gently contoured, at present covered with trees and shrubs. This could possibly be the
natural site drainage profile and may be an interesting design challenge for creating
informal built form settings as a part of academic campus. The third typology of the
site is a contoured portion, a rather aravali hill topography, interspersed with boulders
and the rock formations. This portion may require a considerable innovation to utilize
the site for buildable purpose posing cost and design efficiency challenges.
Apparent site geology is rocky formations and extensive presence of mica. This
aspect would be a key structural consideration. Site falls within the flight path of civil
air traffic approaching airport. Thus, maximum height restrictions and the noise on
account of low flying aircrafts would have to bs addressed while planning envelope
and the overall height of the building block.

3.1.9 SWOT ANALYSIS


 STRENGTH
a) The design would be such that it uses natural slopes provided on site and
maximum utilization of geographical features.
b) The site is located near posh residential areas and indiragandhi international
airport.
c) Natural vegetation and locally available material would be interesting to
design with.
d) Site is approachable from three two sides with a service lane , hence
accesibility is maximum.
e) The canyon will act as breathing lung to the campus if left untouched.
 WEAKNESS
a) The canyon divides the site into two unequal part which decreases the
accesibilty along the site
b) The site lies in a mining zone so some of the overburdened patches can be
seen exploitation of top soil and natural resources can be experienced.
c) Contours ranging between 252 mtrs. to 265 mtrs. makes is challenging for
differently abled.
 OPPORTUNITIES
a) The site is rich in natural vegetation which places an opportunity to evolve the
site on the concept of biophillia.
b) The site is north-south alligned which adds to site planning.
 THREATS
a) Untreated sewage degrades the quartzite stone.
b) “vilayatikeekar” is naturally occuring tree on the site which degrades the soil
quality.

4 CHAPTER-4-CONCEPT & ZONING


The contour site needs to be addressed sensitively, Site reconnaissance became an
important factor while dealing with such site as it is rich in fauna and geographical
features. The canyon and the contour can play an important role while designing. It
needs to be conserved in order to maintain the original taste of site. It‟s an institute of
national importance which attracts people from different background and imperials from
different field. Contemporary architecture is a form of construction that embodies the
various styles of building designs stemming from a wide range of influences.
Contemporary architecture cuts away from the modern architecture of the late twentieth
century by including eco-friendly features and embracing all kinds of creativity. Most
elements of contemporary architecture are borrowed from the modern architecture
movement of the early and mid-twentieth century. This includes clean lines and neatness.
However, contemporary architecture allows for free-flowing form, creativity, and
extensive use of curved lines.

BIOPHILLIC DESIGN
Biophilic Design is an innovative way of designing the places where we live, work,
and learn. We need nature in a deep and fundamental fashion, but we have often
designed our cities and suburbs in ways that both degrade the environment and
alienate us from nature. The recent trend in green architecture has decreased the
environmental impact of the built environment, but it has accomplished little in the
way of reconnecting us to the natural world, the missing piece in the puzzle of
sustainable development.
Biophilic design is incorporating nature into our built environment and designing
inspirational and restorative places that connect humans to their surroundings.
BIOPHILLIA is not merely lush green garden and extended landscape or roof garden
but it is a method to increase proximity to indoor outdoor spaces.
CONTEMPRORY ARCHITECTURE
Contemporary architecture isn‟t an architectural movement. Architectural movements,
like the Baroque, Futurism, or Modernism, are always associated with a precise
historical period. An architectural movement is a particular architectural choice that
claims to act as the precise reflection of a society.
Since contemporary architecture is not an architectural movement, it is not subject to
this constraint. It is not a school of thought. This means that contemporary
architecture can offer a multitude of architectural choices, provided that they stand out
from what is normally done. However, the high level of variety doesn‟t stop some
common traits from being observable within contemporary architecture. This is what
we will examine now.
