Doshisconcept of the building revolves around the history of site. As this history is a

myth but providing the building a life.

NIFT is tied to academic a whole educational attitude towards Fashion. Fashion

is all about images, an images of past or Future. Traditional or conventional which arecross-cultural as well as self sustainable. These images can be changed with place,

time and activity influencing them. So the building to house Fashion should be

SIDE SURROUNDING OF THE

BUILDING


Building is aligned with its long sides

along NW and SE axis, facilitating

good exposure to the sun and breeze.

Different blocks of building complex areplaced 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 havebeen provided towards NW and SE

resulting in glare and heat in the day.

STRUCTURE

This complex is based on frame

structure - square module has been

followed up.

The 7.88mts. Grid of square hollowcolumns (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.

SITE PLANNING

The site was a flat land and the

levels are all architectscreation

which has charged overall site

contours.

There is a proper segregation

of functions as building blocks

are places in certain set of zones

which is determined by the

function character of the building

block.

The planning revolves around

the two courts- the sunken

cover with a stepped kund and

the amphitheatre. Although

apart from the zonal green there

is not any substantial green area

to be landscaped, the institute

gives a feeling of richly

landscaped environment.

Two types of circulation

pedestrian and vehicular.

An inner road leads to the main

car park just outside the main

entrance. This is where the

vehicular traffic ends.

The pedestrian movement within

the campus gives a nice lively

feel to the institute.

The entry to the campus is from

two sides. Front and back. As

one enters to the left is security

cabin and front is a green patch

and the internal road leads to the

main entrance and basement.

different shapes and forms

depending upon the functions

to accessibility from all the sides

makes the site totally traversed.

The building blocks are

concentrated around the sunken
