Observations:
• The structure is constructed by using and experimenting new form through structural
concrete.
• The open spaces are used in many purposes like cultural activity, interactive spaces, open
studios, and central plaza.
• Plenty of light and ventilation in studios and office spaces taken intermediate courtyard
attach to office spaces.
• The open and closed spaces are connected to each other both visually and physically to
create cloud environment to study purpose.
• Intermediate courtyards and entrance court bring the nature inside of building.

Form and orientation:
 Form optimization led to the formation of a perfect rectangular
volume with minimum exposed surface area.
 The site has a level changes.
 Building blocks including classrooms and lecture halls have
been raised by levels for landscaping purposes.
 Thicker wall prevents classrooms from the outer heat in
summer seasons also due to that less use of mechanical
equipment.
 The building blocks allotted for under graduates and post
graduates are single storey but the administration blocks is
double storey building.
 Academic block’s exterior is completely made by stone
cladding.
 Its not only looks attractive and given a rough surface.
 Series of columns outside the building creates colonnade.
 Colonnade distinct spaces between inside and outside area.
 Projected roofs create a light and shadow effect.
 Corridor created along with building but outside. Which meld
seamlessly with outer landscaping.
 The lawn space can be used as a sitting space making a
informal interactive space.
 Also the corridor itself creating a informal interactive

Pearl fashion academy
 Location : 20 km away from Jaipur
 Climate: typical hot, dry and desert type
 Design of the building inspired of
formal geometry.
 Cost effective design
 challenge to control the micro climate within
the building.
 modern adaption of traditional Indo-
Islamic architectural elements and
passive cooling strategies.
 Use of open courtyards, water body, a step
wall , jaalis to maintain a micro climate
within the project.
 All these elements manifest themselves
through the built form and become an
intrinsic part of the daily life of the design
student.
 Form optimization,

morphology and
a perfect rectangular volume with minimum

The site wasorientation:

exposed surface area.
 excavated to a depth of 4 metre, to create
an underbelly and the two stories of classrooms,
studios, and offices were raised on pilots above the
voids.
 the underbelly, which is thermally banked on all sides,
has a ramp designed to be used during fashion shows
and forms the anchor for the entire project.
 serves as a large recreation and exhibition zone, houses
the
cafeteria and spill out areas for the student population.
 This curvilinear geometry is generated through a
computerized shadow analysis that tracks the
precise movement of the sun through the day and
across the season.
 The self shading sliver courtyards help to control the
temperature of internal spaces and open step-wells,
while allowing sufficient day lighting inside studios and
 Various
interaction
spaces
Material
stheused:
 mix of local stone, steel, glass and concrete chosen keeping in mind
climate needs of the region while retaining the progressive
design intent.
 The exterior is painted orange to set off the white jaali but the interior
surfaces are white, to reduce heat asportation.

Courtyards and stepwells

 Thermally banked on all sides, a space for sacred
congregation within an academic institution: for students,
for activity and chances activity, for recreation ,exhibition
and interaction amidst the organic setting or green and
water.
 The water body id fed by the recycled water from the
sewage treatment plant and helps in the creation of a
microclimate through evaporative cooling.
Ventilation and structural grid:
 The courtyards get indirect light into classrooms.
 The entire building is on 9m grid, single bay, naturally lit
and cross- ventilated.
