 He was not much bothered about trends and always to conceive building in his own
way.

 Believed that architecture begins after you put up four walls and a roof; this is what
he called the “non- manifest part”.
 The relationship between human being and building being established what develops
and grows around becomes a measure for man and society.
 The immediate surroundings is the source of construction materials- snow, stone,

straw, wood or mud is yhe indegineous materials for constructing an enclosure.
 The various projects he has undertaken since then reflect the consistent contextually
inheriet in his design philosophy.
(1985-1987 )
 The Indra Gandhi institute o f Development Research is located in Goregaon, a

picturesque green suburb of Bombay.
 The Institute is located on a 57-acre (57,000 m2) site on a hillside in Goregaon (East).
 The site , a sprawling 57
hectares with a steep
topography, is close to two
historical monuments- The
Elephanta caves and The
jogeshwari caves.
 The Buildings are low
profiled masses that are
loosely connected so that
they seem to merge with
flora and fauna of the
surroundings.
 The basic planning is courtyard
planning .
 The institutional spaces consist
of auditorium, a computer room,
research wing, a administration
block, a recreational block and
service core.
 The design responds both to the
topography and the Architectural
Heritage of the Region.
 The campus comprises two
zones- the institutional and
residential.
 The residential accommodation
caters to the needs of the staff,
researchers and visiting scholars.
 A Mural of double height ‘City Gate’
invites the visitors to a sunlight place
encompassed by intensely built steps
which make the backdrop structures
rise realistically.
 A walled Garden is developed outside
the library for contemplation.
 A sit-out deck is appended to the
cafeteria to enjoy the outdoors.
 To give the handicraft look to the
complex, natural materials and the
maximum possible manual labour
have been used.

• The Engineering Collage Complex near Kota in Rajasthan is planned over 140
hectare site along the south east bank of river Chambal and assessable road
leading to Rana Partap sagar dam.
• The complex with a built up area of 2,45,000 square metres ,is
predominantly residential in nature.
• The campus layout can broadly be divided into three main zones-The
Academic, Faculty Housing and students Hostels.
• The main concept revolves around the principles “Interaction at every stage’’
and ‘’Man on foot’’. The necessitated evolving closed knit with landscape
courts where students can pause and establish contact beyond the teaching
areas.
• The vaulted Roof all along the main spinal corridor that connects different
facilities and common facilities not only gives visual cohesiveness but also
creates an air cushion.

• Indigenous stone and surplus man-power have been used to the

maximum extend possible.
• Considering the Rock surface of the entire area and the hot climate
,the site has been tropolised with dense forestation, especially in the
areas out side the building zones.
• Kota stone being locally available material, has been fully exploited in
the design of campus buildings.two natural shades of stone have been
used.
• Natural materials are left untreated revealing ,revealing their texture
through a play of light and shade.
(1968- 1979)
 The Jodhpur University

Campus Extension in Jodhpur
city comprises a dozen
separate academic, residential,
and service buildings.
 There is a cluster of lecture
theatres, botany and zoology
laboratories, the faculty of art
and social sciences, central
library, printing press, staff
canteen and housing.
 To achieve climatic adaptability
non- technological modes,
such as shading techniques,
insulation, cross-ventilation
and orientation, were resorted
to.
 Locally available materials predominantly
yellow sandstone were extensively used to
economise the cost.
 To make buildings responsive to the local
culture, climate, people, and materials, the
design principles were derived from both
traditional Indian architecture, and
modernism.
 Traditional elements such as thick stone
masonry, parallel walls, 3metre column
spacing, 3.25M long stone slabs for the roof
and repetitive designs are incorporated to
achieve harmony with the local.
 The blocks are oriented north-south with dead
end walls on the east-west site to cut of direct
sunlight.
 The stepped form of the cluster rises gradually from the two sides to a
compact, well- ventilated and shaded court in the centre.
 All the blocks of Botany and zoology laboratories are identically designed
and grouped in a cluster with a provision for expansion in future.
 The raised court acts as a
transition space between
theatres and is accessible
through a ramp on one axis,
and wide flight of steps on
both sides along the other
axis.
 A central corridor system
facilitates the incorporation of
services at the second floor
levels.
 Lecture theatres comprises
four rectangular halls joint
together at the crossing of two
circulation axis symmetrically.
(1988- 1991)
LOCATION : The CIDCO pubic housing “TOWNSPACE” project is build on 7.6 hectre
site 50 km away from Bombay on the Bombay-pune road, near panvel. The
complex provides for 927 dwelling units of varrying sizes.
DESIGN EVOLUTION :
• Present scene in new Bombay is combination of two extremes.
• On one hand continuous concrete slab construction whose urban character was
contaminated by mass housing.
• On the other hand a stage managed rural proclivity for single or double
storeyed building.
ARCHITECT UC JAIN IN THE CIDCO PROJECT HAS STRUCK AN INDEPENDENT PATH

BETWEEN THE TWO EXTREMES AND THUS IS QUASI-RURAL AND QUASI-URBAN IN
HIS APPROACH
1. School
2. Community center
3. Social facility
4. Market
5. Big shops
6. Service shops
7. Primary open
space
8. Public gardens
• Dwelling units with lesser built
up area are located on the
ground level, thus giving them
full advantage of the open spaces
on the side.
• The dwellings with higher floor
area are, compensated by the
terraces at different levels.
• This indeed augments the
useable space creating better
livable surrounding.
The rise of the residential building is limited to three upper floors. Another fallout from such
layering of four floors is the optimal use of the common staircases, resulting in further cost
reduction.
