•The Master Plan of the space was organized in a

manner such that all vehicular movement was
concentrated along the periphery; the core of the
space was reserved for pedestrian movement.
This allows for experiencing the various
landscapes that have been created across the
campus.
•There have been three principles in the master
planning of the land, and siting of the buildings.
1. architecture and landscape have found ways
in which to seamlessly connect with one
another;
2. buildings have been sited on the basis of the
extent of their use, and function;
3. climate has been a constant consideration for
the planning of the land.
 Site overview:

•The landscape is a result of site

analysis, hydrological studies, and
slope analysis of the land in
question.
•The land for the industry is lower
than the adjacent roads; it uses
grading to ensure efficient
management of water.

EBA plaza :
Brahmasthan :
The space around the Brahmsthan has been designed as an
elliptical walkway around two graded spaces with three banyan
trees, which were the only existing trees on site, at their centre.
Water harvesting as aesthetic element:

A substantial portion of the land was

occupied by a pond. This became the
central nucleus around which all other
spaces were planned.
Storm water was managed exclusively with swales such that all the water
was directed towards a large water body or smaller retention areas. These
appear as ascending bowls, and merge seamlessly with the manner in which
the landscape is presented.
Congregation space :
Just as the landscape has taken into consideration the many functions of
shade, screening and biodiversity,it has also taken into consideration the
maintainibility of the grounds. Some part of the effluents have been treated
through bio-remediation, using a root zone installation of selected plants.

Planting material has been

selected keeping in mind
the spaces that people
traverse on a regular
basis; the planting takes
many moods -some very
structured , others wilder
providing a continuous
interplay.
