2.CONCEPT

MANIPAL UNIVERSITY, JAIPUR


• The entire campus reverberates the strong quality of a holistic and integrated community
through its architecture and the blocking is inspired by old city.

• The sites are further divided into two parts due to the presence of a High Tension Electrical
Line which has been promised to be made underground by the Rajasthan Government.

• This division resulted in the separation of the Academic and Residential areas which are
envisioned to be connected by a pedestrian underpass allowing the seamless movement of
students on foot or bicycle from their rooms to the classroom.

• Up to such time the HT Line creates a natural divide which we have embraced as a central
axis that serves as a major connection as well as provides for open spaces to the campus. Reference: Site
On the University side, the New Academic Block (NAB) is placed along this central axis. Photographs

1.1. ANALYSIS AND CHALLENGES

The ravines represent a degraded landscape


that can become an asset through
rehabilitation. Through erosion control and
encouraging the growth of native species,
the ravines can be utilized as a picturesque
landscape feature whilst at the same time
serving useful environmental functions.

The central part of the site is characterised


by ravine lands. These are susceptible to
back-flow from the river during floods, and
also erosion from the passage of large
volumes of water during monsoons.

INFERENCE

Natural species are utilised to protect the


site from erosion due to sloped terrain.
Here rather than clearing the ravine that is
the major flora intact, it was used for
sewage treatment also.

5.4. Water collection points

IIT GANDHINAGAR, GUJARAT


• A unique system of rainwater harvesting has been
developed on campus. All the rooftops of the campus
buildings are connected to a stormwater collection pipe
network. These pipes are then connected with a gravity
feed system to four (ultimately six) rainwater storage
structures located throughout the campus.
• These rainwater storage structures each have pavilions
associated with them. They are inspired by the concept
of associating architectural features with water
conservation structures, e.g. stepwells or vavs in Gujarat.
The landscape architect called these pavilions Jal
Mandaps and designed them as an integral part of each
water tank to mark its presence and to serve as a means
of access.
• The rainwater collected in each of these Jal Mandaps is
pumped to the Water Treatment Plant where it is mixed
with Narmada Canal water, treated, and piped back to
the rooftop tanks to be used eventually for kitchen and
bathing purposes.
• Each Jal Mandap stores between 620 and 1415 cubic
metres of water. There are 42000 sq m of rooftop area
that drain into the Jal Mandaps, and assuming average
rainfall, these tanks can collect 26075 cubic metres of
water in the rainy season. This is enough water to sustain
the campus for approximately 40 days

feeding the waste to a
bacterial mass which
converts the decaying
matter into a stabilised basic
mixture of water, carbon
dioxide and mineral rich
residue (Figure 37).
• The sewage treatment
system for IIT Gandhinagar
is based on the following
principles :
a) Low energy consumption
b) Minimum use of chemicals
c) Ease of operation and
maintenance
d) Ability to withstand
variations in flows (during

unhindered pedestrian movement.
The River Promenade
along the western boundary of the site is one of the
main conceptual anchors of the open space system.
Designed as a broad landscaped walkway for
movement along the river front of the Academic
Complex, it is also the focus of informal leisure activities
of students and faculty (Figure 30).
The Ravines
are the subject of land rehabilitation, storm water
management and soil conservation through erosion
control and new planting. They are the second major
anchor of the landscape structure, an extensive area
where the existing “natural” identity of the landscape
can be protected and enhanced, in contrast to other,
necessarily more formal, spaces of the campus (Figure
31).
A Central Vista,
in the shape of a landscape mall, is the third major
space of the landscape structure and is envisaged as
the prime open space of the campus. It is conceived as
a broad sweep of open space. 50 m wide and lined with
large shady trees on either side extending from the

The Westlake University in Hangzhou, China's first private research university, is aimed to establish itself as a cutting-edge institution rivaling other well-known, world-
class universities. HENN was selected as the winner of the international design competition for the Westlake University Campus in July 2017.

The campus represents an exchange university for interdisciplinary studies, encouraging cooperation and communication between different research fields. This feature
is clearly reflected in the master plan and the building designs. The campus is characterized by the central institute buildings, which form the core of the campus on a
circular island.

The four research institutes for biology, medicine, natural sciences and engineering are all arranged around the Academic Loop, offering communication and
collaboration space. With a diameter of 300 meters, the curved central building connects the individual departments and embraces the inner campus park with its central
academic hall. Twelve bridges connect the Institute Island to the surrounding supporting areas which include a library, museum, residential and sports facilities,
refectories and a conference hotel.

3.CONCEPT - THE ACADEMIC LOOP

WESTLAKE UNIVERSITY, HANGZHOU, CHINA


• Each major - Medicine, Biology, Sciences, and Computer Sciences - is housed in
a separate building. Composed of staggered rectangular glass volumes with stone
frames, the buildings appear to hover above the ground.

• Each building is uniquely detailed with colorful accents and custom mullion
patterns.

• These articulated courtyard buildings are strung like beads on the bracelet of the
Academic Loop in order to promote connection interdisciplinary exchange.

• HENN‖s design for the Westlake campus addresses a range of scales and needs,
from individual buildings to its urban-scale master plan.

• The site is defined as a series of concentric rings that organize the campus both
physically and conceptually: the Academic Loop, the Water Loop, and the Living
Loop.

Reference: HENN Architects

• The Academic Loop is the dense intellectual and social core of the university.
The dynamic, double-height space offers panoramic vistas through and into
the buildings it connects.

• Enclosing the dense core of the Academic Loop and the school buildings is the
Water Loop. It defines the heart of the institution. Twelve bridges cross along
its length, connecting the center with the residential zones. They invite
students and visitors to explore and indulge their curiosity.

• The residential buildings for students and faculty nest in a larger Landscape
Loop. They are within nature, next to the water, and close to the Academic
Loop. The Landscape Loop provides a variety of residential environments and
rich quality of life outside of the academic core.

• The campus is encircled by a tranquil waterway, bridged by 12 pedestrian and


Reference: HENN Architects vehicular paths. Like spokes on a wheel, the bridges connect the campus to 2

the verdant Living Loop where freestanding residential buildings for students
and faculty are located. Surrounded by shops, restaurants, and sports facilities,

4.HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL ZONING

WESTLAKE UNIVERSITY, HANGZHOU, CHINA


According to National Education Policy (NEP. 2020)-

• A holistic and multidisciplinary education, as described so beautifully in India ‖s past, is indeed what is needed for the education of India to lead the country into the 21st
century and the fourth industrial revolution. Even engineering institutions, such as IITs, will move towards more holistic and multidisciplinary education with more arts
and humanities. Students of arts and humanities will aim to learn more science and all will make an effort to incorporate more vocational subjects and soft skills.

• Imaginative and flexible curricular structures will enable creative combinations of disciplines for study, and would offer multiple entry and exit points, thus, removing
currently prevalent rigid boundaries and creating new possibilities for life-long learning. Graduate-level, master‖s and doctoral education in large multidisciplinary
universities, while providing rigorous research-based specialization, would also provide opportunities for multidisciplinary work, including in academia, government, and
industry.

• This new scheme will initiate a new form of planning that will accommodate students with diversified subjects in a common space for common learning.

Its circular form contains


communal spaces,
meeting spaces, seminar
rooms, and laboratories. At
the center of the loop is
the University‖s central
park - a beautiful garden
for retreat, contemplation,
and socialization.

6.CULTURAL ENCOUNTER AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN

WESTLAKE UNIVERSITY, HANGZHOU, CHINA


• The new West Lake University Campus is characterized by its pleasant, scenic location on the 89-hectare West Lake with its extensive wetlands and water networks.

• To the west of the city of Hangzhou, with its silk and tea production regarded as one of the birthplaces of Chinese cultural history, the location enables a harmonious,
contemporary integration of the new campus into a cultural landscape that has grown organically throughout history.

• Through the overlapping of Chinese and European garden culture, the campus concept will be conceptually further developed, thus producing innovative, superior
open space qualities.
