ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION


FAÇADE

TREATMENTOne of the most striking features of the building is the façade, which convey

the contradictory sense of immobility as well as flexibility. The building acquires

its overall finish in its outer façade in grey colored grit with grooves breaking

the surface. The exteriors are uniformly finished in grit, the interiors come in as

a surprise, with composition of white, grey, and greens of the court.

WINDOWS An interesting part is the use of jharokhas of traditional architecture to new

materials and expression. Their asymmetrical placement bears an incomplete

look.

TORN PAPER

AESTHETICS As a gesture to the evolution from the concept of

ruins, the architect has used the elements of

tearing a stone wall slowly generating starkly

colored bands and finishing in grit.

A grey mass puncture the

undulating surfaces and

the skyline formed by

steps and terraces give a

unique character to the

building

Murals at the entrance of

the building

FASHION INSTITUTE CASE STUDY

Doshi’s concept of the building revolves around form-imagery perception thus providing the building

with roots, life and history. The NIFT campus becomes a village square growing organically over time to

become a theatre, the scene for unfolding drama of day to day life. For the central kund like court,

wide casually aligned steps, water-channels, green areas, over looking terraces and bridges

emerge as elements of space making to recreate for fashion and design activities.

Evolution of the design

According to Doshi following references have been used –

STEP WELL , the steps leading to water body surrounded by platforms and

galleries .

INDIAN BAZARS , the idea of introverted indian bazaars relating to the

theatrical quality of fashion and traditional chowk or mohalla to faster a sense

of community .

KUND , the main dominant feature in the formation of institute design and

which guides the way to the campus.

REFRENCES


Circulation forms a major space for channelising. The architect has treated it with a very

elaborate network of corridors, steps, lobbies, staircases, lounges, bridges, and terraces.

A unique experience in going through the bridge and watching the court below gives the view of

all the happenings in the campus.

The components of circulation are:

Three level walkways with a cross breeze flowing to stand and gaze

Staircases evolving out of free flowing cut-outs, indicative of design forms.

Staircases leading to the terraces, which are intended to be used by

the students during their leisure time.

Circulation

Open as well as glass screened bridges separating the

court from amphitheatre court, not only remain as movement

path, but also double up as the cat walk for the fashion

shows which can be viewed over from the class rooms,

corridors, library as well as the administrative block.

Total no. of 5 Staircases are provided serving the academic and

administration block and 2 lifts , each in both the wings are

provided.

ADM.BLOCK

The irregular lines of the plot bind the irregularly growing blocks. Different blocks acquire different

shapes and forms depending upon the functions they are accommodating.

Permeability of the blocks, due to accessibility from all the sides makes the site totally traversed.

The building blocks are concentrated around the sunken court thus generating activity and creating

lively environment.

ACADEMIC BLOCK

Academic facilities have been provided in the areas joined together

in the form of a cluster. The cluster comprises of – lobby , lecture rooms, laboratories

and toilets.

LABORATORIES

Fashion design demands extravagant gaps to handle

sprawling fabrics and numerous accessories –

they require larger tables, space for mannequins. So , there

is a complaint of space due to increase in no. of students.

CLASSROOMS

LABS.

Space in between the labs and

toilets acts as lounge/lobby-

interaction space which is quite

large enough so actual space

is being used by the faculty

members

LECTURE ROOMS

The exterior hides as to

what is happening inside

the building.


It is mainly designed to accumulate the persons for fashion shows as it helps the students to

keep a contact with the changing friends .

The NIFT amphitheatre is too much a topic of controversy and criticism.

It has not been constructed as it was designed. It was supposed to have the stage floating in

the water body below.

But the direction of the stage has also been changed, without taking into consideration the

orientation of the sun, i.e seating of the audience and stage exchanged their seats during

construction.

Total seating capacity is for 300 students ,

Which is not large enough for large gatherings.

Library and the resource centre share the third floor.

Library is used by all the students and outside people from

the industry and profession, for research and reference work

Resource centre consists of valuable audio-visual collection

of videotapes, slides, CDs and photographs.

Resource centre also comprises of material collection of

textile, costumes, jewellery and other related reference

material.


landscapingAlthough apart from the zonal green there is not any substantial green area to be landscaped, the

institute gives a feeling of richly landscaped environment.

Site boundary is lined with deciduous

and evergreen trees.

A series of high and low platforms,

soft and hard landscaping have been

Used in the amphitheatre court.

Landscaped cut-out

and lawns

Entrance has been

supplemented with potted

plants and flowers thereby

giving one a feeling of

being in a natural

environment.

Parking is flanked by

greenery with earth

mounds flowerbeds

and trees.

In this campus, soft landscape is negligible –

environmentally not good.


orientationBuilding 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.

structureThis complex is based on frame structure - square module has been followed up.

The 7.88mts. Grid of square hollow columns (serving as ducts) works as a vertical

plenum for future air conditioning and evaporative cooling systems.

The roofing is done with waffle slabs (1.7mx1.7m) thus providing a column free space

of 6.85 sq., this sub-division used is a

basic module for all the components of the

building.

The external thickness of 990mm (3’-2”)

Acts as adequate sun protection for the

Windows, providing insulation.
