This document provides information about a proposed Greenwood International School project in Kolkata, India. It discusses the location, projected student capacity, architects, and existing Greenwood schools. It also covers the design concept focusing on integration with nature, green practices, and blending old and new approaches. Site analyses are presented, along with case studies of other schools. Program area requirements are listed and the final design includes segregation of junior and senior blocks around a central courtyard with north-south oriented blocks for daylighting. Landscaping plans to reflect the culture and contours of West Bengal are also mentioned.
![Great Banyan
Historical Significance.
Knowledge tree – Lord Buddha
The Great Banyan is a banyan
tree (Ficus benghalensis)
located in Acharya Jagadish
Chandra Bose Indian Botanic
Garden, Howrah, near Kolkata,
India.[1] It was the widest tree
in the world[citation needed] in
terms of the area of the
canopy and is estimated to be
about 1200 to 1250 years
old.[1] It became diseased
after it was struck by lightning,
so in 1925 the middle of the
tree was excised to keep the
remainder healthy; this has left
it as a clonal colony, rather
than a single tree. A 330 metre
long road was built around its
circumference, but the tree
continues to spread beyond it.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/thesis-sem3-mine-141213145612-conversion-gate01/85/Thesis-sem3-mine-70-320.jpg)
![Sorrel
Common sorrel or garden sorrel (Rumex
acetosa), often simply called sorrel, is a
perennial herb in the family
Polygonaceae. Other names for sorrel
include spinach dock and narrow-leaved
dock. It is a common plant in
grassland habitats and is cultivated as a
garden herb or leaf vegetable
Sorrel is a slender herbaceous perennial
plant about 60 cm high, with roots that
run deep into the ground, as well as
juicy stems and edible, arrow-shaped
(sagittate) leaves. The lower leaves are
7 to 15 cm in length with long petioles
and a membranous ocrea formed of
fused, sheathing stipules. The upper
ones are sessile, and frequently become
crimson. It has whorled spikes of reddish-green
flowers, which bloom in early
summer, becoming purplish.[1][2] The
species is dioecious, with stamens and
pistils on different plants](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/thesis-sem3-mine-141213145612-conversion-gate01/85/Thesis-sem3-mine-76-320.jpg)

Architect – ABIN design studio Existing Greenwood high preschool in salt lake. It is the only International School in Bangalore to have received the honour of bagging 5 National awards and to be ISO 18001:2007 accredited with a “Safety and Health Management Systems Certificate”.
- 5. HOW?
- 6. Motto ‘Rooted in Knowledge’ integration with nature green practices don’t preach what you don’t practice. 'The Superlative Synergy‘ blending the old with new, Fostering creative and analytical knowledge
- 7. Kolkata • Site area – 10.9 acres • Location – Rajarhat • Latitude – 22 33’ N • Latitude – 88 28’ E • Satellite city • Three action zones
- 8. SITE ANALYSIS 1. DPS NEWTOWN 2. UNIWORLD CITY 3. PROPOSED INDUSTRIES 4. COGNIZANT 5. RESIDENCES • 10 M WIDE ROAD ON ONE SIDE • BAGJOLA CANAL • Permissible height 20.0m • F.A.R. max. – 2.0 • Ground coverage – 45% • Set back from residential – 3.0 m • Green area – 8% of ground area
- 9. Infrastructure in Rajarghat – futuristic design
- 10. Climatic analysis Tropical wet and hot climate. Annual mean temperature = 26.8 C Maximum temperature > 40 C Maximum rainfall – 425 mm Wind from Bay of Bengal keeps the humidity high. Breeze from Bay of Bengal (South) Mutual shading needed Longer axis should be towards N-S orientation Cross ventilation needed Segregation in levels for ventilation and skylights needed.
- 11. Strength • Emerging vicinity - No problem of Water, Electricity and Drainage. • Proximity to Bagjola Canal • Non-contour site. Weakness • Not in the main city • Only one access road to the site. • Irregular shape of the site Opportunity • Luxury residences proposed in the vicinity • Large site area – play areas Threat • DPS campus just aside the site • Buffer needed from all sides • Highly needed Buffer and screening from front side. • Since only one access road – front façade orientation is not flexible • Pedestrian space has to be given on the site. • To integrate with nature, design implications have to be given. • Proper parking and circulation of vehicles to be given inside the site.
- 12. CASE STUDY – CALCUTTA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
- 13. Site Details • Criteria – Culture, Scale • Residential project • Location - 15 km from Kolkata Airport • Architect – ABIN Design Studio • Year of Construction – 2006 • Total Site Area - 9 Acres • Built -up area - 64,400
- 14. Inferences Diagonal approach provides a perspective view and increases design appreciation. Separate entry for sports facilities and OAT Academic block in the front and the sports area in the backdrop of the site Vehicles are prohibited inside the site and natural walk-away to maintain silence Introvert planning of individual blocks Too many different blocks and hence lack in connectivity.
- 15. • Blending of informal and formal spaces • Emphasis on Interior design • Natural ventilation
- 16. Greenwood International school, Bangalore
- 17. Site Details • Criteria – Relevance • Location – Bangalore • Architect – ACE group • Year of Construction – 2004 • Total Site Area - 35 Acres • Built -up area – 110,000
- 19. INFERENCES Auditorium separated from main building for access. Segregation of junior and senior departments Integration with nature and organic sprawl of the same Emphasis on sports facilities Privacy of individual blocks, swimming, etc. and no proper provision of sitting spaces and locker rooms Lack of futuristic vision and poor connectivity in playgrounds and other blocks
- 20. Culture • Segregation of classes through common spaces • Paved pathways used as architectural elements • Emphasis on landscaping • Use of punched windows
- 21. Case Study : The International School, Hague Criteria for selection : Scale, Planning Location : Hague, Netherlands Site Area : 8 Acres Architect : Atelier Pro architects Strength : Approximately 1500 Students
- 22. Site Analysis • Pedestrian waiting Space • Sports facilities on the backdrop • Indoor Swimming and Sports - low maintenance - Can be used 24 hrs a day - privacy - Ventilation and condensation - expensive
- 24. • Use of Self-invented sunscreen blinds • Atrium illuminated by daylight • Corridors - double use as study area.
- 25. Before the pupils enter their classroom they cross a living room. Here they hang out with their classmates. This way there’s a right balance between the joining and the division of the three different schools. The younger children have their own entrance and square, called Glass House. Here they can play and have their lunch.
- 26. Inferences Corridors as activity zones Due importance should be given to the natural lighting of the classrooms. Usage of blinds to reduce the glare and make an iconic identity. Incorporation of living rooms before entry into the classrooms to facilitate merging of the three zones. Labs and science rooms as screening block Indoor sports facilities Waiting area for pedestrians Separate entry for kids. No separate play area for kids
- 27. Teaching area • General purpose teaching area includes Class rooms, supplementary classrooms, extra- Large classrooms. Space requirements: • traditional teaching – 2 sq.m/pupil • teaching in sets 3sq.m/pupil Floor areas: Classroom – 1.8 to 2 sq.m/pupil Open plan – 3 to 5 sq.m /pupil The clear height should be 2.7 to 3.54 m.

A 330 metre long road was built around its circumference, but the tree continues to spread beyond it.
- 72. BOUGAINVILLEA The vine species grow anywhere from 1 to 12 m (3 to 40 ft.) tall, scrambling over other plants with their spiky thorns. The thorns are tipped with a black, waxy substance. They are evergreen where rainfall occurs all year, or deciduous if there is a dry season. The leaves are alternate, simple ovate-acuminate, 4–13 cm long and 2–6 cm broad. The actual flower of the plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six bracts with the bright colours associated with the plant, including pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white, or yellow. Bougainvillea glabra is sometimes referred to as "paper flower" because the bracts are thin and papery. The fruit is a narrow five-lobed achene.
- 73. Nyctanthes arbor-tristis (Night-flowering Jasmine) 10 m tall, with flaky grey bark 2–6.5 cm broad Anti bacterial and anti fungal – long life Nyctanthes arbor-tristis is a shrub or a small tree growing to 10 m tall, with flaky grey bark. The leaves are opposite, simple, 6–12 cm long and 2–6.5 cm broad, with an entire margin. The flowers are fragrant, with a five- to eight-lobed white corolla with an orange-red centre; they are produced in clusters of two to seven together, with individual flowers opening at dusk and finishing at dawn. The fruit is a flat brown heart-shaped to round capsule 2 cm diameter, with two sections each containing a single seed
- 74. Combretum indicum Combretum indicum, also known as the Chinese honeysuckle or Rangoon creeper, is a vine with red flower clusters and is found inAsia. It is found in many other parts of the world either as a cultivated ornamental or run wild. The Rangoon creeper is a ligneous vine that can reach from 2.5 meters to up to 8 meters. The leaves are elliptical with an acuminate tip and a rounded base. They grow from 7 to 15 centimeters and their arrangement is opposite. The flowers are fragrant and tubular and their color varies from white to pink to red. The 30 to 35 mm long fruit is ellipsoidal and has five prominent wings. The fruit tastes like almonds when mature. The niyog-niyogan is usually dispersed by water.
- 75. MYRTUS COMMUNIS The fruit is a round berry containing several seeds, most commonly blue-black in colour. A variety with yellow-amber berries is also present. The seeds are dispersed by birds that eat the berries.
