Context
Contextualism is a design approach which derives from the belief
that a new building must blend in with its neighbors in terms of
height, materials, fenestration etc.
The surrounding has a urban context. Surrounding area of project
site is scarcely populated, comes under commercial area.
At a regional level the campus sits on a keystone location on the
ridge - the confluence of three ridge zones of Delhi.
The site allows for a significant opportunity to physically weave the
South Central Ridge (JNU and beyond) with the Southern Ridge
system.
Being situated on higher ground offers views of the Qutub Minar to
the east and the Moradabad Pahari Masjid towards north.

The Site
The site offered unique constraints and opportunities, being on the edge
of the undulating Ridge Zone of the city (though excluded from the
"Notified Forest" designation), it sits in a highly sensitive ecological
corridor with an interesting neighbouring ensemble of the five star Grand
Hotel on the east, high end plotted developments to the south,
institutional buildings and the bio-diversity park to the north-northwest.
The proposed site has very hard rocky natural ground. The bearing
capacity is not been tested but seems to be challenging for the
construction of building over this natural ground.
Ecologically, the master plan recognizes and respects the ridge lines and
valleys on the site and ties it back to the larger geo-morphological grain of
the ridge landform.
The spectacular canyon roughly in the centre of the site becomes a
primary organizing element.
The plan responds to the demands of the local climate which features
large variations in temperature, high levels of solar radiation and the
monsoon season and it also had to respond to the topography of the site.
