• The plaza in th is block is one of the
most actice places in the campus .
• It is double heighted and has two
parallel walls on which a rt
installations are done.
• This ca n be considered as an
inspiration from Lecor busier 's FREE

 I J Artistic Place Making
I Kanorla Centre for Art.
Kanoria Cent re for Art The Kanorla Centre Art Studios Is an Interplay between the ground
and the buil such that the separatton of the spaces for the artists'
studios and the office spaee is effected by an elaborately articulated
ground fenture.These two bodies are only tenuously connected by a
narrow 'bridge' which ttes thesouthern face of the studio buildIngto
o non-func-t1onal frame attached to o non functional stair clement.
The Interior olso St'CS the lntcrvnntlon of on articulated framed
structure accentuates the north-·south tube rather than dividing up
I the Interior space.The stair elements - sculptural and land-form llke
further affirm the arttsttc characterltatton of this grouping. This
building e<hlblt> lnteroctton of arch tectural principles ond
sltuottonalvariants and makes strong references to the ground skv
relattonshlp. As such,It may be termed the freest exptoratton of
p ace-making.

complicated with lot s of level changes and
staircases at different level.

• All the places within are visually
inte rconnected.

OUTDOOR CIRCULATION
• The circulation with 1n this campus is
pedestrianiz ed.
• The vehicular ac cess is restricted along the

Ventilation:
• The para llel walls, fo rming an open tube of spac e are predomina ntly a ligned North-So uth,effectively closing
off the East and West sides.
• The north side is heightened to allow more north light in while the south side is kept low to shield from the
harsh direct radiation.
• This results in a configuratio n with a double height north side a nd a single height south side.
• Such difference in heights in section leads to a combined vo lume,emphasising the directionality set out by
the para llel wa lls in plan.
Sculpture Park
• The campus is also has magnificent sculptures.
• A sculpture park is situated in the southern part of the campus.
• The "H ussain Doshi Gufa" forms another locus of t he campus designed by B. V. Doshi in collaboration
with eminent artist M. F. Hussain.
