The relationship between human being and the building being established, what
develops and grows around becomes a measure for man and his society.

The whole campus has been unified
with the use of the golden colored
sandstone.
The sculptural expressiveness and
their sun-etched stone texture
make a strong imprint on the
environment.
The three buildings –the faculty of
Arts and social sciences, the central
lecture theatre cluster and the
campus canteen- are the buildings
which standout in the campus.
Art and sciences complex
The building has a double-loaded
corridor with classrooms, seminar
rooms, laboratories and offices
organized along it.
Due to the hot, dry desert climate
the building has a double wall.
The sculptural gesture of the
raised water tank and stair towers
between stone walls and the
ordered treatment of the facade
give the building a bold presence
It has three wings which for a
U-shaped plan around a
central open space.
Due to the hot, dry desert
climate the building has a
double wall.
A double height courtyard
with a surrounding
colonnade, cross lighting at
intervals, and the wider areas
given in front of office
clusters animate the
circulation which otherwise
would have been very
monotonous
Lecture Theater & Canteen:-
It is a ziggurat like
structure with four
lecture halls with
inclined seating.
Each is a hall is a
rectangle supported
by two parallel walls
along its longer axis
which support the
slab roof and the
intermediate
structural beams
Municipal City Hall, Balotra:-
Itis based on the same building
techniques evolved in the buildings
of Jodhpur University.
Yellow sandstone and black rubble
masonry is used in the walls.
To soften the official aura of the
building decorative detailing has
been used in the inside of the
building.
The public access is emphasized
with the oversized double-height
entry hall.
Neelam Cinema, Balotra
The purpose of the building
is visual impact.
The building is serious and
simple.
The patterns and textures
of the material are not
informal yet it has a
traditional feel to it.
The building- of steel and
reinforced concrete- is
enclosed in a variety of
rough and dressed textures.
The exaggerated air-
cooling exhaust grill crowns
the cinema.
Landmark - Larsen & Toubro Welfare
Center, Bombay
For futuristic look the two towers were
glazed in classic blue reflective glass
and complement it with red granite
cladding of both the towers.
He chose red as it was the only shade
that contrasted brightly with the gray,
smoky and dusty backdrop. He wanted
a building that made a statement, it had
to stand out amongst other buildings in
the neighborhood.
The basic idea was to use materials like
glass and metal those are maintenance
free. The aluminum anodized railings,
windows, granite flooring and staircase,
tile clad lobby and vitrified tiles on the
compound wall have been used keeping
that in mind.
Thank you
