PHILOSOPHY

Mr Rajiv Aggarval evokes a sensibility that is modern, having a strong reference

to the theme of the building and most importantly climate, culture and craft

rooted in a strong regional context.

He as always tried to preserve the tradition and the culture of the site in his

designs which brings life and the connection of the land together.

Architecture is an embodiment of 'a way of life' and the values that determine itspath. The 'design process' is closer to the one experienced by an artist whilecreating a work of art. Of course, the site, context, materials and function doplay a role in defining the actual design moves and these get absorbed andinternalized to aid the design process unselfconsciously. A successful work of architectural design has SIMPLICITY & CLARITY with crystallization of designthought and moves to a degree that the design is simple, almost austere. Theconstruction techniques and materials are used to explore all their intrinsicqualities like strength, density, and texture in their bare HONEST form. Aconstantly changing experience jogs the mind constantly and it continues toabsorb and react to the built environment making it PLAYFUL. Constant playbetween two contrasts like changing views, light and shadow, change in axis,smooth and rough texture, hard and soft landscape. Each one enhances theopposite by contrast in close proximity. There is always a duality at play - twoopposite materials, two colors, two spaces, two geometries and two textures.

Eventually the built environment consists of SPACES, which are sensed through a

play of LIGHT. These are the both, the tools as well as the end products inarchitecture.

The basic idea in any design has been to see the simplicity of the site, and thedriving facts which contribute to the connectivity and to blend with the site andthe surrounding.

In all the designs the architect has maintained the key features of GreenArchitecture.

The planning is based on a series of visually interconnected pedestrian clusters.

The liner fashion was observed thoroughly and keeping in mind the building was

designed in context to the site.

Due to the extreme climatic conditions of New Delhi, where the summer sees

temperatures of above 45 degrees centigrade, and the winters often see

temperatures below 5 degree centigrade. The buildings function was decided

according to the movement of the sun.

Building with varying heights to provide mutual shading concept and built-

volumes define these clusters.

Visual transparency has been maintained at ground level by providing stilted

areas. Almost all buildings in the Academic Zone are connected with elevated

walk-ways. Al lot of shaded area have been provided taken in consideration of

activities of students and the climatic conditions.
