INTRODUCTION
One learns through various institutions since the start of
age but the role of an educational institute in making one
capable enough to make use of his/her talents fruitfully for
the development of a nation remains above all.
1.
INTRODUCTION
ABOUT S.P.A.(School of planning and architecture):
S.P.A. is an all India institution with the potential to
grow and double its present output in terms of
graduates and areas of specialization.
Over last sixty years, the school has grown over more
than ten times, in terms of annual intake of students.
Initially the school used to impart training in field of
architecture at under-graduates as well as post
graduate level while presently, it trains Architects and
Planners at under-graduate as well as post graduate
levels .
Traditionally, the school admits both fresh graduates
and professionals at PG level. Of the several
thousand professionals trained by the School so far,
many are well known throughout the national and
international community for their professional
excellence and integrity.
2.
AIM
o The aim is to design a new campus of School of
Planning and Architecture located in Vasant Kunj,
New Delhi.
o At present it consists of a main administrative
block in Indraprastha Estate with the department
of planning and the girls hostel on the same plot.
o The architecture department is located about 800
meters away in a distinct block. The boys hostel
and the faculty and staff housing is located 8 Kms
away in Maharani Bagh.
o The new campus is intended as an integrated
campus to allow the institution to perform to its
full potential.
3.
OBJECTIVE
o Organizing and pooling of the best resources like
Faculty
Finance
Physical aspects.
4.
NEED OF STUDY
o At present, S.P.A. operates from three locations.
The planning dept. and the architecture dept. are
housed in different buildings in different plots.
o There are 11 distinct departments presently and
all of them are flourishing units in themselves
possessing a wealth of knowledge and resources.
They are supervised and run by the best and most
experienced faculty of the country. But physical
segregation of the institution means that there is
very little interaction between the students and
faculty of the various departments. The resource
of the institute can not be utilized fully.
o In the planning building itself, the location of the
studios and the faculty areas is such that one
does not get to know about other studios on their
way.

PROJECT DETAIL
The site for the new campus of the School of
Planning and Architecture, New Delhi has been
allocated in the zone F-2 of the master plan of Delhi.
Situated on the north-west of Jawaharlal Nehru
University, the site though falling in an institutional
area is conveniently close enough to the commercial
zone which is half a kilometer away. The site is
located in Vasant Kunj, off Nelson Mandela Road. It
is adjacent to Hotel Grand Hyat t . It has an area of
80,000 m2.
The prominent feature in the area is the Delhi Ridge,
an extension of the Aravallis, which trends in NE-SW
direction with elevation as high as 338m in south and
as low as 208m in north. The site has been quarried
in the past for stone. It is a slopping site with a chasm
approximately 180m long having an average width of
40m and depth of 8m-10m. This chasm is the unique
characteristic feature of this site. The lowest point of
the site is at +251m above MSL whereas the highest
point is at +266m. The main dominant level is
+265.5m.
