    The Pearl Academy in Jaipur, India uses passive cooling strategies inspired by traditional Indo-Islamic architecture to address the hot, dry desert climate. The building features a double skin facade with jaalis that provide shade and allow cross ventilation. Internally, self-shading lightwells and stepped courtyards control temperatures while admitting daylight. Materials like local stone, steel and concrete were chosen for their climatic suitability and sustainability is promoted through rainwater harvesting, wastewater recycling, and a sewage treatment plant.

    The pearl academy, Jaipur

    By morphogenesis

    Introduction

    The pearl academy is situated in the desert type climate on the outskirts of Jaipur. It ranks third
    in the top 10 fashion design institutes in India. The institute uses cost effective design solutions
    to keep within the price points set by the client and yet be able to achieve the desired
    functionality and effect. The building had adapted traditional Indo-Islamic architectural elements
    and passive cooling strategies prevalent in the hot-dry desert climate of Rajasthan.
    A radical fusion of traditional and contemporary architecture, the institute creates interactive
    spaces for a creative student body to work in multifunctional zones that blend the indoors with
    the outdoors seamlessly.

    Climatology of the site

    The institute is located in a typical hot, dry region. Jaipur city falls under the semi-arid of climate
    and experiences a continental type of climate owing to its proximity to the desert and inland
    location. It is characterized by hot summers and cold winters. The mean temperature of Jaipur is
    36⁰C varying from 18⁰C in winter to 45⁰C in summer. Wind is also an important climatic factor
    affecting the environmental conditions of any region. In Jaipur, the average annual monthly wind
    speed varies from 3 to 10 km/h. Wind speed reaches its maximum in summers due to dust storms

    These pictures show the formation of shadow and effect of sun on the building at various positions of
    sun. The first picture shows basic form of the building. Following picture shows shadow formed due
    to sun in the morning time. Followed by various time period of the day.

    Features of the building

    The architecture of the academy needed to be a confluence of modern adaptations of such as


    open courtyards, water body, a step-well or baoli and jaalis (perforated stone screen).
     The building is protected from the environment by a double skin which is derived from a
    traditional building element called the ‘Jaali’ which is prevalent in Rajasthani
    architecture. Jaali is used because it cut of direct sunlight but at the same times ,
    maintaining aesthetics in elevation and connection of inner world with outer world. The
    double skin acts as a thermal buffer between the building and the surroundings. The outer
    skin sits 4 feet away from the building and reduces the direct heat gain. Drip channels
    running along the inner face of the Jaali allow for passive downdraft evaporative cooling,
    thus reducing the incident wind temperature.
     The scheme relies on self-shading sliver courts to control the temperatures of internal
    spaces and open stepped wells while allowing for sufficient day lighting inside studios
    and class rooms.

     The entire building is raised above the ground and a scooped out under belly forms a
    natural thermal sink which is cooled by water bodies through evaporative cooling
     The materials used for construction are a mix of local stone, steel, glass, and concrete
    chosen keeping in mind the climatic needs of the region while retaining the progressive
    design intent
     The institute is 100% self-sufficient in terms of captive power and water supply and
    promotes rain water harvesting and waste water re-cycling through the use of a sewage
    treatment plant.
