LOCATION

The institute is situated in the Hauz Khas institutional zone.

It lies on the way to Asian Games Village from green park.
Access is from north east and south west side of the campus.
Site is irregular in shape and is surrounded by classical dance institute, Hauz Khas
housing, Gulmohar park

ORIENTATION

Building is aligned with its long sides along NW and SE axis, facilitating good
exposure to the sun and breeze.
Different blocks of building complex are placed according to the site lines. All the
peripheral building lines are parallel to the site lines.
Openings for light and ventilation have been sacrificed for aesthetic considerations
than climatic comfort.
Windows in the academic block have been provided towards NW and SE resulting in
glare and heat in the day.

 ANALYSIS

Confluence of modern adaptations of traditional indo-Islamic architectural

elements, given the nature of an institution, budgetary constraints on the
project, necessitated the use of cost effective design solutions to keep within
the price points set by the client and yet to be able to achieve the desired
functionality and effect is a remarkable achievement.

The interactive spaces in college which has been very successfully

incorporated using various parts of the college such as open courtyard, social
hubs , from classroom to stairwell thus making the building a prime
successful example institutes and architecture.

INFERENCE

The design and facilities of the campus complement the ideology of the pearl
academy of fashion a cutting edge design institute with a sustainable
approach.

The pearl academy of fashion is an exemplar of an inclusive architecture

which intends to accommodate all the heritage values while positioning it
within the contemporary and architectural paradigm
The beauty of the campus is that the buildings help in containing the spaces
and creates external spaces and platforms, which act as extensions into the
open nature.

The blocks are in simple geometry of cubes relation and courts as well.
Every space is interactive in nature.
The pergolas' ,stepped courts and interactive corridors make campus live.
Water body responds to climate.
Concrete blocks for wall & roofs prevent heating of internal spaces than outer in
great extent.
Proper natural light arrangement to various studios ,lecture halls & labs.
Slits are also given for natural light.
Cat-walk space is just enough for holding in-house fashion parades or rehearsal.
OVERALL INFERENCE
Interactive space can be anywhere in the building but to create it in right place is
important.

Informal learning spaces do not belong to any one department or school within the
university ,they belong to the campus community.

Flexibility in designing a space provides connectivity to each area of interactions.

The space is a reflection of the spirit and culture

in the campus with a great atmosphere of interaction,
informal discussions and learning.

Climate is very much responsible for the interactions to take place.

Scale of the building or the part of spaces created is

Another factor in which interactive design is dependent.
