    The document provides information about the TERI University campus located in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi. Some key points: - The campus is built on 2 acres of land and is an example of sustainable architecture that responds to the local environment and climate through passive solar design and low energy systems. - Sustainability was the guiding principle in the design which orients the linear buildings along an east-west axis for optimal daylighting and incorporates elements like pergolas and overhangs to control solar heat gain. - Natural ventilation is enhanced through the central atrium and placement of openings to channel prevailing winds. The massing and facade treatments differ based on orientation to regulate sunlight and insulation.

    TERI UNIVERSITY CAMPUS,NEW DELHI

    LOCATION

    • Built on around 2 acres of land in Vasant kunj, New Delhi this four storeyed
    structure in masonry, with stone cladding and glazings, is an example of a
    sustainable campus responding to the site and enironment using energy
    saing technologies!

    •  "t proides a setting that enhance learning and showcases the concept of
    modern green buildings! #$N%$& '()* ,D*#"+N -"N."$/, '"ND#$.*

    SITE AND DESIGN

     0sustainability was the back bone of the entire design concept and it was
    communicated to the architect that the building should incorporate all possible
    elements of passie solar architecture and low energy cooling systems1 says '"//"

    •  3he linear geometry


    geometry of the site with a narrow
    narrow frontage
    frontage and an aspect ratio
    almost 456 dictated the strong linear axis in the design!
    •  3he logical se7uence of positioning the three distinct functioning zones in a
    hierarchy of public access to restricted entry formed the other key
    consideration
    consideration in design deelopment! lacing the commercial potential of the
    frontage of the site !

    Elements of Design

    architecture

    •  3he process of continuous dialogue between the architect and 3*-" and the
    engagement of 3*-" in the design process augmented the thrust on climate
    responsie design in a large way!

    SUN

    • assie solar design is an important feature in the design of this building!


    •  3he planning and orientation of spaces and building blocks ensures glare free
    daylight in all regularly occupied spaces! $ll the linear blocks are oriented in
    the *ast98est direction with shorter facades facing the sun!
    •  'ost of the south west facing walls are kept blank in order to protect the
    building from the harsh south west solar radiations!
    • 8here the south west walls hae openings, they are protected by means of
    pergolas or projecting balconies!
    •  3he east, west and south facades of the building hae minimum glazing!
    • Daylighting integration using light :xtures :tted with electronic ballasts
    regulating the leel of illumination responding to ailable natural light and
    adjustable aeroscreen loures to regulate summer and winter sunlight entry
    ;top and centre<
    • Double glazed facades reduce heat gain without a=ecting the leel of
    illumination ;bottom<
    • $"- 3he predominant wind direction is taken into account in designing the
    open spaces! 3he central atrium acts as an air funnel de:ned by the other
    buildings! 3he opening oriented in the preailing wind direction catches the
    outside air and channelizes it through a narrow stretch of the block before
    releasing it into the central court area!
    •  3he architect>s experience of design in hot dry areas, particularly in earlier
    projects in )yderabad made him con:dent of the e=ectieness of this design
    feature in cooling the ambient temperatures of the enclosed areas!

    ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION

    •  3he form and massing of the campus responds entirely to climate and the
    site!
    •  3he south9west walls with few fenestrations and stone cladding, responding
    to the climatic conditions, forms an impenetrable wall, proiding, as it were, a
    isual cue to the inherent resistance of the structure to inclement weather!
    ergolas, oerhangs and balconies form isual links as well as create drama
    in light and shade, which is 7uintessential to 'ohe>s work!
    •  3he northern walls, in contrast, are lightweight with their glazing and large
    fenestrations, once again in response to the site and climate! 3he louers on
    the glazing create interesting isuals on the facade!
    •  3he oerall composition of transparency and opacity unfolds to the iewer
    with changing orientations within the site!
