DESIGN INFORMATION SUN PATH OF DELHI IN
IN NORTH-WEST DIRECTION, GIVING PROPER PLACE FOR
OPENINGS. ❖MORPHOGENESIS BASED ITS DESIGN ON THE DIFFERENT MONTHS
VEGETATION – DECIDUOUS, SEMI-DECIDUOUS TREES AND SCHOOL'S REMIT OF COMBINING AN INTERNATIONAL
SOME EVERGREEN TREES FOUND (E.G., ORCHID TREE, OUTLOOK WITH A DISTINCTLY INDIAN PERSONALITY.
INDIAN COCK TREE, ETC) ❖ITS POPULATION OF 650 WAS TO BE DOUBLED TO
THREATS – DELHI IS LOCATED IN SEISMIC ZONE 4; 1300 STUDENTS.
EARTHQUAKE PRONE AREA. ❖THESE TRADITIONAL FEATURES ENHANCE THE
CLIMATE – COMPOSITE BUILDING'S LOCAL CHARACTER, WHILE ALSO
AVERAGE ANNUAL TEMPERATURE – 25.9 DEGREE CELSIUS HELPING TO ACHIEVE A COMFORTABLE CLIMATE
DELHI HAS HIGH VARIATION IN TEMPERATURE OF THROUGHOUT THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SPACES
SUMMERS AND WINTER; ITS HOT AND HUMID MOST OF USING PREDOMINANTLY PASSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE
THE TIME. METHODS.
ANNUAL RAINFALL – 406MM ❖THIS SENSITIVITY TO THE LOCAL CONDITION NOT
ANNUAL PRECIPITATION – 642MM ONLY GENERATES A ROBUST AND DURABLE FORM,
BUT MAKES THE PROJECT SOCIO-CULTURALLY
WIND FLOW SUSTAINABLE, AFFORDABLE, AND LIVABLE.
❖THE IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINABILITY AND
MINIMIZING RELIANCE ON MECHANICAL COOLING
SYSTEMS PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN DEFINING THE
BUILDING'S DESIGN, WHICH ENDEAVORS TO USE
PASSIVE METHODS TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE.
❖CONSTRUCTING A BAOLI OR A POND, SURROUNDED
BY WALLS, IS ANOTHER COOLING METHOD THAT
MORPHOGENESIS USES. THIS WAY, THE EARTH IS
USED AS A HEAT SINK, AND AS THE WATER
EVAPORATES, IT BRINGS THE OVERALL TEMPERATURE
DOWN.
