It is located on a 60-acre campus with residential and educational facilities. The campus buildings were designed to be responsive to the local climate, utilizing materials like stone and a modular layout with courtyards to promote cross ventilation.

NIBM – INTRODUCTION

3. Location:
Located in Kondhwe Khurd,
Pune.
The institute is located in
sylvan surroundings in a
picturesque valley within the
Pune city.
Approach:
NIBM campus on Pervati-
Kondhwa road.
Neighbourhood:
The site is covered by built up on its three sides while on one side
is the forest.
On East side is the forest, on North and South side are the
residences , while on the west side is the road through which we
enter the campus.
The water channel which passes through the centre of the site
divides the campus in mainly two parts. Towards the west part are
the residential areas while at the east iare the faculty blocks and
library .
NIBM – INTRODUCTION

4. •The buildings are irregularly shaped.
•The open spaces are not very defined.
•The nala divides the campus into 2 parts.
•Mostly repetition of modules is seen.

Vehicular
Pedestrian
Entry for buildingss
•All the internal pathways are connected to the main road.
•Earlier the internal pathways were less wide, not more than
2 people could pass through it.
•Later they widened them.

6. • the academic cluster, which is organized on diagonal grid to catch the local
southwest breezes buffered from the adjoining roads by placing residential
blocks perpendicular to the boundary.
• The decision to site academic group of buildings on the lowest level of the
gradually sloping site was a deliberate one such that all the storm water could be
collected in a central water feature surrounded by landscape.Kanvinde’s design
relied on modular planning to arrive at a unified solution.
• Octagonal units, as in the library and dining hall, or chamfered rectangles
underlie the structural grid, and the functionality assumes a subservient position.
• These modules when joined together do not follow a
• very rigid pattern and the spaces created out of joining exercise are dedicated to
service activities like lobby, toilets and staircase without emphasizing their
existence.
• Sloping roofs, series of skylights, stilted or double height spaces, use of stone
grit plaster with horizontal graphic banding inform the sculptural handling.
Sunken windows, pergolas and use of local greybasalt stone for grit plaster
reflect sensitivity towards Pune’s context and a preference for permanent
materials and natural textures.
NIBM-STRUCTURE

7. A C-shaped pedestrian ring links all the individual clusters with the help of a
continuous street like corridor. Stepped according to the buildings levels, the corridor
gets suspended off the landscaped grounds and water body forming a bridge while the
degrees of enclosure vary encouraging outdoor interactions
, The corridors at seems over emphasized with extracted framing details.
The same holds true for rest of the complex hybrid geometry and overlaying of grids,
layering of functions, highly articulate fenestration of the openings all add to the
sculptural quality or hint towards the excessive as in the postmodern sense.
The rational expression of structure turns selective only to establish horizontality and
the columns are drawn out and expressed in a circular form adding to the articulation.
NIBM-STRUCTURE

8. Initially, when the NIBM campus was built, 35 years back , it
was not universal.
After some years when the government made norms
regarding universal design, ramps were added to the
campus.
So where ever it was possible they provided ramps.
Lifts are not provided in individual buildings but the lecture
halls are located on the ground floor to make it easy for
handicapped people.
The slope of all the ramps is 1:10.
NIBM – UNIVERSAL DESIGN

9. •The slabs are designed in a trapezoidal form and windows are
provided at the top to let out the warm air.
•In this way it creates a stack effect resulting in lower temperature
inside than outside.
•Also cross ventilation occurs due to appropriate place ment of
windows.
•Use of stone as a building material keeps the interiors cool.
NIBM – CLIMATE RESPONSIVE ARCHITECHTURE

10. •The buildings are irregularly shaped so that each building
remains in shade.
•The shadow of a building falls on another building, making
it cooler on the inside.
•The wind direction is from south-west.
•The buildings are placed at such an angle that they will receive
maximum winds.
•The windows are placed on the windward side.
•Also trees are planted on this side to get in cool air.

Electrical supply
Rainwater harvesting
Natural wells
•The electric supply to all blocks is provided from the MEP with the
help of 95mm power cables.
•Due to slope of the site, all the water from the campus is collected
in the nala.
•Rainwater harvesting is done by building bunds on the nala and
collecting water.
•Later the water is used for landscape.

Fire
Water supply
Common Toilet
•Water is provided to all the blocks from the Over Head Water tank.
•Water pipes for fire are provided from the MEP to all blocks.
•Drainage water from all the toilets was raised and then taken to
the sewage treatment plan.
•There was only one common toilet in the campus.
•Individual buildings had their separate toilets.

13. NIBM-
•As soon as we enter the library we see a spiral staircase
which kind of creates a focal point for the entire library.
•The canopies are highly cantilevered and inclined at an
angle which gives an altogether different look for the porch.
•Almost each building has a skylight of different style
(shape, size,).
•Landscape is a major part of aesthetics in this campus.
•Various types of trees and flowering plant species are seen
throughout the campus.

14. •The main material used was stone as it was locally
available also because stone walls help to keep the interiors
cool.
•Concrete was also used in some buildings along with
stone.
•There is not much material variation in the exteriors of the
building.
•Whereas we can see variety in the pavement patterns.
