Architectural Design Brief - Sem -6; Academic Year 2021-22

601- INSTITUTION and THE CITY;
A Management Ins tute, Navi Mumbai

Introduc on:

An ideal ins tu on, like a city, must allow different stories/ journeys to unfold but all united by
common values towards a goal. It must bring together and encourage varie es but at the same
me move together.

The studio is put forward to introduce what an ideal ins tu on of educa on must func on the way a
city where different stories are weaved together with common aspira on; Educa on! It must be a
pla orm to bring together and encourage varie es and at the same me move together with a
similar thought.

The ins tu on of Educa on men oned above is unlike what we see or we are a part off, it is not an
integrated college, but specialisa on in a whole different subject called Management. The user
group is more mature, structured and func ons differently with the syllabus.

A syllabus with a mundane rou ne and formality, the design of management campus gives a scope
for exploring forms that func on as a harmonious whole, crea ng spaces in between that connect
with the outer world and the inner self; rather wher life unfolds.

Aim:

The aim of the studio is to introduce the students to various pre-design processes with a varied
user group typology with a fixed program and design by addressing the design’s capability to
adapt to the changing spa al needs of its users.

Objec ve:

● To create a SPACE that would have its own dis nc ve character, vitality and ambience for the
purpose of EDUCATION.
● To develop an integrated design approach;i.e, incorpora ng the landscape elements,
technical aspects of fire services and column free, lightly loaded spaces.
● The focus of these areas is on the propor ons and form, site-oriented design, which will
ensure a quality experience inside and outside the structure.
Site Selec on: Proposed Site for Ins tu on, CBD Belapur

Navi Mumbai is strategically located on the proposed Mumbai Pune `Knowledge Corridor’; a liberal
spread of quality educa onal ins tutes ensures the availability of learning and gaining knowledge
to one and all.Scope of the site is to introduce various site analysis and planning techniques in an
urban context. This also gives a scope to plan the spa al hierarchy which is seen and needed in an
Ins tute.
