    The Pearl Academy of Fashion in Jaipur, India was designed by Morphogenesis to be environmentally responsive and passive in its climate control strategies. The campus incorporates traditional Rajasthani architectural elements like jaalis, courtyards, and water bodies to reduce heat gain and promote passive cooling. The building is protected by a double skin jaali and features self-shading courts and a sunken floor that serves as a thermal sink to maintain comfortable temperatures.

    From the architect. The Pearl Academy of
    Fashion, Jaipur is a campus which by virtue of its
    design is geared towards creating an
    environmentally responsive passive habitat. The
    institute creates interactive spaces for a highly
    creative student body to work in multifunctional
    zones which blend the indoors with the outdoors
    seamlessly. The radical architecture of the
    institute emerges from a fusion of the rich
    traditional building knowledge bank and cutting
    edge contemporary architecture.

    The institute is located in a typical hot, dry,
    desert type climate on the outskirts of Jaipur in
    the soulless Kukas industrial area, about 20
    kilometers from the famous walled city. It ranks
    third in the top 10 fashion design institutes in
    India, and its design needed to represent the
    seriousness of its academic orientation through
    its formal geometry. Given the nature of an
    institution, budgetary constraints on the project
    necessitated the use of 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 adverse climate
    makes it a challenge to control the micro climate
    within the project thus incorporating various
    passive climate control methods becomes a
    necessity and also reduces the dependence on
    mechanical environmental control measures
    which are resource hungry. The architecture of
    the academy needed to be a confluence of
    modern adaptations of traditional Indo-Islamic
    architectural elements and passive cooling
    strategies prevalent in the hot-dry desert climate
    of Rajasthan such as open courtyards, water
    body, a step-well or baoli and jaalis (perforated
    stone screen). All these elements have been
    derived from their historic usages, but will
    manifest themselves through the built form and
    become an intrinsic part of the daily life of the
    design student.

    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. The
    double skin acts as a thermal buffer between the
    building and the surroundings. The density of the
    perforated outer skin has been derived using
    computational shadow analysis based on
    orientation of the façades. The outer skin sits 4
    feet away from the building and reduces the
    direct heat gain through fenestrations. 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. This under belly which is
    thermally banked on all sides serves as a large
    student recreation and exhibition zone and forms
    the anchor for the entire project. During the night
    when the desert temperature drops this floor
    slowly dissipates the heat to the surroundings
    keeping the area thermally comfortable. This
    time lag suits the staggered functioning of the
    institute.

    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.
    Energy efficiency is a prime concern and 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.
    Besides having become a very successful model
    for cost effective passive architecture in desert
    regions the design and facilities of the campus
    complement the ideology of the Pearl Academy
    of Fashion – a cutting edge design institute with a
    sustainable approach. The Pearl Academy of
    Fashion is an exemplar of an inclusive
    architecture which intends to accommodate all
    the heritage values while positioning it within the
    contemporary cultural and architectural
    paradigm.
