● ARCHITECT: Poredi, Shantanu and Manisha Agarwal, Mobile Office
● SITE AREA: 9 acres( half of proposed site)
● YEAR OF COMPLETION: 2018
● DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Brutalist architecture (expression of materials)
● CLIMATE: hot and humid climate (similar to Delhi’s climatic condition)
● CAMPUS GOVERNING BODY: Central Govt
● The overall design parameters like site zoning, climatic aspects, building planning, recreational
spaces etc: are solved efficiently.
● PHILOSOPHY OF ARCHITECT: “The tradition of disseminating knowledge and innovation relies on
diverse community experience. Focusing on the diversity of individuals and the vastness of a
community creates opportunities for variation and thereby learning. Interdependent programs
offer a multitude of interactive spaces that would be beneficial for a community experience.
Our ideas stem from an interest in developing interrelationships in which students would
participate in a non-hierarchical and rhizomatic nature of the exchange.”
