School of planning and architecture

Abstract

A campus is the mirror of a college or a university's soul, reflecting its history, its culture and image, its management style, and even its future. It tells all who visit it how it thinks about itself and the way it expects others to judge it. Designing a campus is far more challenging today than it was a decade ago or so. The imagery of a modern-day campus today includes an extensive landscape design, integrating public spaces in the planning process to generate more interactive environs and catering to linkages that would enthuse a better dialogue with the open spaces. The report describes the design process of an architecture college campus. It brings to light how the campus as a built environment is a necessity to give an architecture student the environment needed to learn, explore, experiment and research. The report describes the design process of an architecture college campus. It brings to light how the campus as a built environment is a necessity to give an architecture student the environment needed to learn, explore, experiment and research. This thesis includes a research on the design and architecture college campuses and a model of comprehensive, modern and sustainable campus design of the School of Planning and Architecture complete in all respects that talk about the architectural principles and philosophies reflecting the educational standards of the institute.
