PROJECT – PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF HOSTEL NO. 09AT INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

GUWAHATI , ASSAM

• Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, the sixth member of the IIT fraternity, was established in 1994. The academic programme of IIT Guwahati commenced in 1995.

• Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati's campus is on a sprawling 285 hectares plot of land on the north bank of the river Brahmaputra around 20 kms. from the heart of the city. With the majestic Brahmaputra on one side, and with hills and vast open spaces on others, the campus provides an ideal setting for learning.

• The 74,000 square metre Academic Complex houses the academic departments, centers, their laboratories, classrooms, etc. A spacious Administrative Building accommodates the offices of the Institute.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

• In Our Design we aim to provide creative and unique architectural designs. Our philosophy involves listening to the client, attending to their needs and requirements, rather than creating what we think is best.

• The goal is to keep the project continually moving and the enthusiasm flowing. Essentially we want the client to be in control of the project, achieving their goals and requirements.

• We create designs that maximise the potential of any site, while respecting the environment that it is within.

• While the notion that structural and aesthetic considerations should be entirely subject to functionality was met with both popularity and skepticism, it had the effect of introducing the concept of "function“. in place of Vitruvius' "utility". "Function" came to be seen as encompassing all criteria of the use, perception and enjoyment of a Building, not only practical but also aesthetic, psychological and cultural.

• A little simplistically i.e. the final shape (or 'form') of the building would be directly derived from its intended use (or 'function').

• The design "concept" for Hostel is the central idea that is the driver for making architectural design decisions related to this project. While there are many possible such concepts that could be used in the design of hostel enumerated below are a few that come to mind.

• 1. An idea for building form derived from the proposed site.

• 2. The need to build the hostel in a phased manner could impact the layout and form, many times in combination of the above-mentioned site constraints or features.

• 3. An idea about how to lay out the major circulation paths through the building / campus, for ease of way finding and efficiency of movement of students & staff .

• 4. The functional relationships and area requirements of the various departments taken possibly in consideration together with all the above factors.

• 5. The climate of the location, or the way in which the building will be lit and ventilated, by artificial or natural means. If there are severe budget constraints, as in many developing countries, this factor could be a major determinant of building form.

• 6. Rarely, a strong idea of the form of the building as sculpture.

• 7. Mostly, a combination of all these factors, given varying degrees of importance.

LIGHT & VENTILATION IN BUILDING

• There is no need to define what natural light is, but we do need to remember that this light allows us to define what is around us, by day and night: the changing perception of the things or the bodies on which it impacts, and the space that contains them. Light, or absence of light, can also transform this space in each season, each day of the year, each hour of the day, each moment.

• Lao-Tse said that “architecture is not four walls and a roof; it is also, and above all, the air that remains within, the space that these enclose”.

• This relationship between light and architecture occurs inevitably; sometimes consciously, other times unconsciously, and it does not matter whether we are talking about educated or popular architecture.

The only thing that we want to call for with these sensations of our design is the right use of light, be it daylight or nocturnal light, natural or artificial, as a basic and determining factor in the configuration of architectural space, and hence create more comfortable, more sustainable, more genuine, more human, more beautiful spaces and, therefore, better spaces.

In our Design we have tried to Plan rooms alternately in both horizontal and in vertical manner i.e. In our Design we have tried to Avoid partitions in a room oriented perpendicular to the airflow , in order to promote more mixing and improve the effectiveness of the ventilation.Buoyancy ventilation may be temperature-induced (stack ventilation) . As these floor plans are repeating alternately .
