vay 10 Km from Bhuj. The site is in two
~uummnparcels, one OF rr acres and tne other of 8 acres. The larger chunk of 17
acres lies between two monsoon streams, and the other 8 acre parcel
abuts the edge of one of these streams.
The program includes teaching, support, and all living facilities for staff
and students. A total of 240 students and 30 faculty are expected after
completion of all three phases. The total residential population will be
about 450 persons including faculty and staff families. Occasionally there
< will be about 500 visitors for use of the civic facilities at the institute. >
The landscape of the region is typically mud flats between ridges
concealing a deep water table. Once submerged by sea, much of the land
is saline with the only source of fresh water being a 3000 year old water
table beneath the Bhuj ridge. Due to intensive use over recent years the
level of the water table has sunk rapidly, with little thought given to
channeling rainwater back to the water table or putting it to use on the
surface. In this setting - a climate severe on its human inhabitants and a
landscape in need of repair that the question of dealing with waters both
culturally and ecologically is central. The intention at the AISM is to unite
building and landscape in a manner where the building can complete
and repair the landscape by positively channeling the monsoon water
into harvesting ponds whilst providing comfort and orientation to its
inhabitants in their day to day learning and living. The aim is to design
an eco system of landscape and buildings where each asserts its own
presence whilst supporting the other.

2 routes within them stretch between the

many practical functions, eg. Retaining walls, storage, aqueducts, raised
walkways, placement of solar plate collectors as well as routes for all
services and the placement of toilet blocks and fire stairs. They also
spatially organise different activity areas with the valley by forming a
series of inter linked courts. The bridges are conceived as sculpture
within the site, and could be interpreted in several ways by artists and
sculptors. Pieces of ‘the bridge or route’ may appear as signs or traces
vithin the streetscape of the valley.
VALLEY : The 17 acre parcel of land zoned for the institute is
topographically cleft into two from north east to south west by a valley.
This natural topographic element has been used to physically structure
the Institute to express a natural hierarchy of public and private life. The
northern edge of the valley forms the academic zone whilst the southern
edge consists of the student residential facilities and its necessary
ancillaries like the common rooms and dining halls etc. The valley is
oriented to catch and funnel the prevailing south western breeze
through the interspersed recycling pools of water, fountains, sprays,
mists, sculpture courts and dry landscape arbours, cooling the entire
campus and forming a unique walk linking the vari
