MATERIALITY AND COLOUR TEXTURE
• Hand-chipped granite and concrete
are the two primary materials and the
floors made of rough and polished Kota
stone.
• The boundaries between inside and
outside are completely blurred and has
become A neutral backdrop for more
objects like trees and humans to occupy.
CORRIDORS AND CONNECTIONS
• Instead of courtyards that are dry
and rigid, he made green corridors, which
allow for academic exchanges to be
carried beyond the classroom.
• Pergolas have been used in order to
maximise natural lighting and ventilation.
• All the corridors have the same
charecteristics but each are different in
the way they behave in sunlight.
• The play of shadow and lighting
changes the effect in each space.

CIRCULATION
Second floor
• Achieved by adopting a network of corridors
linking together all volumes , courtyards , and
externals. Roads are restricted to outside of the
buildings.
• Diagonal connections create unintentional
meetup spaces / pause points.
• Hostels are located away from the classroom
within few minutes of walk.
• The blocks respond to two types of
courtyads. Internal court shared by inmates of
particular blocks and external court shared by
other blocks.
