experiences through exhibitions, seminars, events with common peoples and students along
with conference rooms, library or outdoor workshop area.

College of Architecture: It provide course for Bachelor in architecture to students, with

learning through formal syllabus and informal activities and interaction.

Need of project
The idea of the project is to create a common platform for the students and the artist like
carpenter, porter, blacksmith, and vernacular artist i.e. modern shift to traditional shift in
parameters of scale, enclosures and spatial organization

The idea of the project was inspired by School Without Wall by Ar.Nilkanth chaya

Aims

group in various discussions to interact, to share, and gain ideas.

Limitation
I had limited my project by providing institute with residential facilities and creating a
common platform for artist, students, and common people.
Allocation and segregation of space will be don on site as per design requirements.
Project doesn’t deal with Detail Landscaping but only allocation of green spaces.
Methodology
Study of surrounding morphologies.

Understanding users comfort levels and designing spaces respectively.

Zoning of activities on site according to the interfaces that it will create with surroundings.

– An interface with the urban area through outdoor workshops of school for informal
activities and interaction of students with the artists.

– Interface with immediate city context. (Here design will respond to city morphology,
vehicular movement through road, major node and users like students, artist and citizens.)

Creating space for interaction at different levels:-

Student – student interaction

Student – Visitor’s interaction

Citizens – student – delegates’ interaction
