 CHAPTER 1

1.1 Introduction

National Design policy, 2011 recognized the strategic role of design in national and industrial
competitiveness and value addition in service and manufacturing industries. Policy
envisages integrating India’s rich tradition with contemporary innovative process. National
Design Policy is guided by a multipronged framework, one aspect of which is; “raising Indian
design education to global standards of excellence”

Four more National Institutes of Design on pattern of NID are intended to be set up in
different regions, during the 11th five year plan, “Spreading quality education in design to all
regions of India” those are at: Kurukshetra (Haryana), Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh), Jorhat
(Assam) and Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh).

1.2 Need for project

India has a vibrant design industry and an ever-increasing number of design users backed by
a strong platform of design education. Indian designers are an eclectic mix of talent, insight
and experience. Design in India has matured over the years and continues to grow from
strength to strength.

While there is demand for skilled designers within the industry, there is also constant
increase in number of applicants to design institutes since 2010. The present size of the
design industry is estimated to be INR 21 billion with a potential of INR 116.81 billion and
future potential of INR 188.32 billion by 2020. Under the present circumstances, against a
potential of INR 116.81 billion, the realised market is only INR 21 billion meaning only one
fifth of the potential is yet realised

1.3 Project Feasibility

NID is the only institute of its kind in India. And only few talented students get the
opportunity to study here due to the restrictions in intake. Hence the advent of its kind can
help to fulfil at least a few more. The feasibility of design of a new campus stems primarily
from the a=main concern of the institute which is to implement inputs from design,
education into all areas of professional and industrial design. Apart from this other main
objectives also include:

 Preparation of the design students to be an integral part of the emerging

information society
 Pursuit of opportunities in areas such as social communication, service sectors,
technology enhanced learning, craft designs, green design, universal design,
experimental design, and knowledge driven commerce and society
 Reinforcement and integration of design learning with new environmental
understanding
  Spreading the power and benefits of design in society and industrial sectors, and
enriching them to create a global identity
 Capitalisation of India’s unique struggle in bio-diversity, culture and crafts to pursue
interdisciplinary strategic focus

1.4 Aim

Designing and planning for a design institute at Kurukshetra with a tradition-integrated

environment which enables easy collaboration of diverse minds

1.5 Objectives
 To design a campus that is integrated with the traditions and inherent knowledge of
the Indian society, thus inspiring innovation in the right direction
 To develop a site layout that promotes the integration of the nature and built space
alike in day-to-day activities of user groups
 To design an environment which can allow the students, teachers and clients to
adopt to the modern trends in design industry in all the disciplines; industrial,
communication and textile and apparels

1.6 Methodology
1.7 Scope and limitation

Scope of the project lies in the development of a concept which gives way to a master plan
that integrates built and un-built spatial requirements of design aspirants, embedded in an
environment rich in the traditional knowledge and culture. Various blocks of the master
plan will be detailed.

The project will be limited to the design and detailing of academic and administrative
blocks, since the time frame does not allow the detailing of residential blocks and landscape
design

1.8 Site

The site for NID Haryana, is located at Umri village, near Kurukshetra town.

Site has an Area of 20.6 acres out of which 6 acres of site is in Green belt region along NH
44.

The proposed site is

151km away from Delhi i.e.,4approx.. 1hour 30mins by road

11km away from Thanesar Railway station

NID Kurukshetra is intended to cater the aspiring designers in north zone. It’s known as the
setting of the Hindu epic poem the “Mahabharata. “

Kurukshetra University established in 1957 is an affiliating university and cater to both

general and technical education sectors.

In 2008, regional engineering college of Kurukshetra was accredited National standard; NIT
Kurukshetra

The state is famous for many unique Haryana crafts, which are exported all over the world
and most famous is Surajkund crafts fair held in February every year.

2.1 About NID

EAMES REPORT, APRIL 1958

Govt of India invited American industrial designer couple Charles and Ray Eames invited to
India for recommendations on a programme of training in design that would serve as an aid
to the small industries. Eames Report recommendation was:

“…an institute of design, research and service which would also be an advanced
training medium.”

“It would be connected with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry but it should
retain enough autonomy to protect its prime objective from bureaucratic disintegration.”

2.2 Disciplines at NID:

Foundation Year

The one-year Foundation Program introduces students to the fundamentals of design and
helps develop their, faculties perception, aesthetic sensitivity and material understanding.
The multi-disciplinary nature of design and the relationship of design with human senses
and emotions, culture, environment and ecology is sought to be-communicated to them
through the various courses they do.

Industrial Design

Industrial design is concerned primarily with the relationship between industries, systems
and those who use them. This faculty inculcates user centric approach and processes.
Responsibility and concern towards the social, physical and ecological environments is
emphasized in the process of developing innovative ideas.

Communication design

The Communication Design Faculty prepares students to face the new challenges and
technological advancements in the field of traditional and digital media

Textile and apparel design

The Textile and Apparel Design Faculty strives to develop innovative and synergetic
approaches to design for diverse sectors of the textile and apparel industry, markets, the
social sector, informed by an appreciation of the cultural heritage, socio-economic, ethical
and environmental concerns that are developed through fieldwork and research.
2.3 Students intake
2.4 Spatial Requirements

1. The physical facilities to be provided in an institution can be classified under

a) Academic area

b) Administrative area

c) Amenities area

2. Academic area consists of classrooms, design studios, exhibition/conference room, labs,

workshops,· art studios, library, resource centre, auditorium and OAT.

3. Administrative area includes principals/director's room, faculty room, central office,

conference room, confidential room, record room, reception and lounge.

A small department library may be developed to cater to the special needs of the design
students. Similarly the resource centre could be provided with equipment according to the
needs of students.

OAT, Exhibition, could be shared with whatever special provision that may be required by
the students of design.

Recommended additional facilities

1) OAT

2) Gymnasium

3) Sports ground

4) Guest rooms for visiting faculty & experts.

2.4 FACTORS THAT AFFECT CAMPUS DESIGN

Campus should have an appropriate image of its own making, an amalgam of buildings and
landscape that communicates a distinctive sense of place, functionality suitable for the
institutions particular purposes. Campus design methods and concepts will have to be
flexible and responsible to balancing continuity and change in the physical environment.

2.4 GROWTH AND CHANGE

"A campus should grow like a baby in all directions" - Eero Saarinen.

Campus design must anticipate, as nearly as possible, the nature of probable growth and
change. Providing flexibility and indeterminacy, is perhaps the greatest challenge to the
Architect. There are three major aspects to growth and change.
(i) First is the overall growth or expansion of facilities caused by increasing
enrolment.
(ii) Second is the differential growth that occurs in various areas of the campus
along with overall growth.
(iii) The third aspect is the internal flexibility required for changing uses of spaces
and services. A coherence and sense of identity for all parts must be
maintained in the design as a whole while certain parts remain incomplete. To
do so demands a discipline, a kind of pre- designed matrix or systems fabric
that will insure order in future development, without being too restrictive.

2.5 PATTERN OF GROWTH IN A CAMPUS

There are various types and pattern of growth, which can be identified. Four basic patterns
that might encompass most of the types in use are the:

a) Concentric Pattern of Growth

The central area or

"core" of the campus
becomes tightly
enclosed and
successive rings of
development shut in
and prevent selective
expansion (a) (b)

b) The Zone Pattern of

Growth
Zones are allocated
specifically to
academic, residential
or recreational
(c) (d)

integration of campus Design, National Agency of Enterprise, Copenhagen,

activities
c) Molecular Pattern of
Growth
Growth accomplished through addition of self-contained units or "molecules", but a
system is perhaps limited to a 'many centred' campus rather than 'centralized type.
d) Linear Pattern of Growth
 The central core can expand at either end as the campus grows; existing elements
extend outwards and grow independently of one another, new ones are added to
extensions of the core those never become shut in as in the concentric pattern.

2.6 LITERATURE CSE STUDIES

2.6.1 HONG KONG INSTITUTE OF DESIGN

Location: 3 King Ling Road, Tseung Kwan O, Hong

Kong
Architects: CAAU
Area: 42000.0 sqm
Context: Residential, Commercial

This project was selected for studying the modern approach towards campus design, here
design institute; as an important landmark to the city.

CONCEPT
Necessary blocks are vertically zoned, based on Le
Corbusier’s concept of “Legs of education”
Amenities, grounds are provided in the ground floor. Library,
Administrative offices are provided on the “common
resources” floor.

GENERAL ZONING
PUBLIC INTEGRATION

Public integration is made possible through providing public plazas, wtih public access from
all sides of the building
This ensures activity around the campus, and
improves social interactional skills of students.

CROSS VENTILATION

Quality air is essential for the human comfort.Here cross ventilation is made possible by
providing sufficient space between different blocks. Vertical stack effect is made possible by
giving a shaft open to sky at top and to plaza below
NATURAL LIGHTING

Natural light creates a more welcoming space, provides

comfort. The more lit the space, more public it becomes.
Lighting in multi-storeys is accomplished by atrium lighting

TREE PRESERVATION & LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Trees that were present in the site during construction were conserved, and were used to
improve the quality of public life that are concentrated around the green spaces

Furthermore, Landscaping is promoted in all levels; Slope garden to street, street level
gardens, Podium gardens at open spaces at 7, 8 floors and roof garden on top
