& unusual form thereby not actually restricting to the constrains but rather defining a
statement or depicting an idea of his own.
Many architects work fascinates me as a student, however Ar. JEEVAN KAPUR is the
most interesting of them all, since, firstly he is a self made man who has worked immensely
hard to reach where he is now and I idolize him for his hard work and determination,
secondly, he works on what I think is the most upcoming concept of making buildings, i.e.
modern yet green architecture, specially the integration of modern technology with the
built and unbuilt form. The most impressive thing about Jeevan Kapur is that he is an
architect of green /sustainable architecture. He has great simplicity and clarity in his work
. he uses the environmental friendly material in his project.
PHILOSOPHY
Mr Jeevan Kapur 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 its
path. The 'design process' is closer to the one experienced by an artist while creating a
work of art. Of course, the site, context, materials and function do play a role in defining
the actual design moves and these get absorbed and internalized to aid the design
process unselfconsciously. A successful work of architectural design has SIMPLICITY &
CLARITY with crystallization of design thought and moves to a degree that the design is
simple, almost austere. The construction techniques and materials are used to explore
all their intrinsic qualities like strength, density, and texture in their bare HONEST form.
A constantly changing experience jogs the mind constantly and it continues to absorb
and react to the built environment making it PLAYFUL. Constant play between two

contrasts like changing views, light and shadow, change in axis, smooth and rough
texture, hard and soft landscape. Each one enhances the opposite by contrast in close
proximity. There is always a duality at play - two opposite 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 in architecture.
The basic idea in any design has been to see the simplicity of the site, and the driving
facts which contribute to the connectivity and to blend with the site and the surrounding.
In all the designs the architect has maintained the key features of Green Architecture

The parking network has been designed in a way that the parking remains on the
periphery and the campus is vehicle free.
The buildings of the campus have been provided with linkages at different levels, so that
all the parts remain connected and become ease for the users to move from one to
another building at any point of time.

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.
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.

Allthe terraces are stepped. A great use of fire escape staircase has been done in
connecting terraces and making use of the fire escape staircases. One leads to the other
terrace and then finally to the ground. Terraces has also been used as a hub for
students.

The idea of the design was integration with every one and connection. Thus it has been
successfully achieved by connecting every block with the other using bridges and stair
cases. And to regulate climatic conditions typical courtyard planning has been done
here.
