Nid & CEPT ahmedabad primary case study
- 1. CASE STUDY Group- Yash Kotgirwar Dhananjay Naik Surdeep Mahanta Arbind Pradhan Auroshree Panda Harsha Reddy Prateek Malakar
- 2. • National Institute of Design was established in Ahmedabad in1961by the Government of as an autonomous national institution for advanced training, research and service in product design, visual communication, architecture, structure planning and allied fields. Area: 63,848 sq.m Architect: Giraben Sarabhai & Charle Eames Overview
- 3. • National Institute of Design (NID) is a design school in Paldi, Ahmedabad ,Gujarat . • Area of the site: 20 acres approx. • The site is located along the Sabarmati River. The site measures about 20 acres. In its surrounding is the Tagore hall, the kite museum and opposite to the site is Diwan Ballabhai high school. • Main Access of the site is from the main road. LOCATION

- 5. SitePlanning • The whole campus can be distinctively divided into two major zones – Institutional &Residential. The main block which consists both the academic and administration departments is placed on the eastern part facing the river. Sports facilities are in between the two blocks.
- 7. Internalzoning • The courtyards, functionally conceived as open spaces to segregate between two diverse functions of 'seminar rooms' or 'classrooms' and 'workshops' or 'laboratories' due to noise and structural reasons; spatially created light wells for the dark ground spaces. • The north-south orientation of the studios gives more light and cuts off the glare.
- 8. • Emphasis has been given on the pedestrian movement of the site. • Vehicular movement is restricted only till the entrance for the visitors. But it is possible from residential areas to academic block and vice- versa. • Besides, service entries are provided for the various workshops. • Horizontal circulation: The movement pattern develops on the ground floor through the court like spaces that developed under the structural grid. • One is made to experience the receding columns in perspective on the way to canteen. The main circulation on the first & second floors is through a long and narrow passage at the centre. The passage is single height narrow linear space. Circulation
- 12. • It is by triple height staircase marked with platforms at different levels which gives a very impactful experience. One of its major functions is to formalize the entry to auditorium on the second floor. The second staircase has been placed in the rear most court, which is used as secondary preference to the triple height staircase. Spiral stairs have been provided as a means of connecting workshop to the studios. The semi opened space around the canopied roof of the double staircase is an excellent activity area where the students interact, relax and has some major source of exchange of ideas. Vertical Circulation
- 13. • Grid planning: The plan of NID signifies varied spatial experiences with different 'spatial types' such as the pen courtyard with thorough way, the raised platform type, the colonnade type facing the green spaces, the multiple entrances, the formal entrance court with the brick shell, and lastly the grid which holds the whole composition together. • The plan displays magnificent interconnections and spatial non- hierarchy with the openness of the organization. The complex modulations with partition walls, created maze with diverse experiences. This openness of the plan symbolizes the expression - 'free plan'. • Another interesting juxtaposition is the location of an old monument, used as backdrop for amphitheatre, in close vicinity to the main building. The existence of old and the new, creates dynamic compositional balance. Structuredetails
- 14. •As soon as the built form is placed on site it generates its own space in and around it. Thus the outside open spaces are as much important a design criteria as inner • Lawns are used for informal gathering, cultural program, etc. •The campus has been completely landscaped. Three platforms extend from the institute building in the lawn acting as built-in sit outs. •There is also an ancient monument and open air amphitheatre having densely planted trees around it. •Amphitheatre is also used for social functions, fashion shows, etc. • Lawns are not only a feature of landscape but they act as interactive spaces. LANDSCAPE
- 15. • Precast concrete is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or "form" which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place. • Precast concrete production is performed on ground level, which helps with safety throughout a project. There is greater control over material quality and workmanship in a precast plant compared to a construction site. The forms used in a precast plant can be reused hundreds to thousands of times before they have to be replaced, often making it cheaper than onsite casting when looking at the cost per unit of formwork. Construction Technology
- 16. Materials • Precast RCC shells are designed to carry machine loads of 1000kg/sq. metre (including impact). • The first few shells were of reinforced reinforced cement concrete, but the next step was to develop them of reinforced brick with an RCC band at the edges. • In the third stage, the entire shell was made of reinforced brick. The final stage of the development was the design of a brick shell without any reinforcement at all. • Flooring consists of squares of two module length, cast in situ cement (patent stone).
- 17. • The campus has been designed taking into consideration the hot and dry climate of Ahmedabad. The activities are so planned that they spill over into inward looking spaces. • The courtyards remain in the shadow for most part of the day. To allow the inflow of light into the workshops, sliding panels have been installed which run from the height of the skirting to about 10’ from the floor level. • Pockets of vegetation blend with the structure on the exterior as well as interior. Large trees protect the building from surface glazing and courtyards from excessive heating. • The external cladding is prefabricated and consists of heat resisting glass in metal frames in workshops and in rosewood frame in studios. • Winds from the riverside are captured in the studios and workshops from the terraces due to adjustable glazing. Features like water bodies with jallis are used to filter the cooled air flowing over the water and passed in interiors. LightingandVentilation
- 18. Services • A channel, 5 cm. wide, is maintained between these squares. Under-floor electric wiring is laid in these channels and filled with ma9S concrete. Changes in machinery layout can be made at any time by simply removing the mass concrete in the channels and changing the under-floor electric connections as and when necessary without any damage to the concrete flooring.
- 19. • Ducts for housing various services like water pipes, electric cables, ventilation and air- conditioning are an integral part of the design of the building.
- 20. Modifications • Office space - workshop area. • First floor mezzanine
