INTRODUCTION
NIFT- NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF FASHION TECHNOLOGY
AN INSTITUTION OF DESIGN, MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY FOR THE
INTERNATIONAL FASHION BUSINESS.
IT HAS BEEN EMPOWERED TO GRANT ITS OWN DEGREES AND OTHER
ACADEMIC DISTINCTIONS.
IT ALSO COUNTS AMONG THE COVETED LIST OF AN INSTITUTE OF
NATIONAL IMPORTANCE BY THE PARLIAMENT OF INDIA.
THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF FASHION TECHNOLOGY WAS SET UP BY THE
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA IN 1986 AS AN AUTONOMOUS SOCIETY IN
COLLABORATION WITH THE FASHION TECHNOLOGY (FIT), NEW YORK, TO
TRAIN PROFESSIONALS TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE TEXTILES
INDUSTRY.
THE INSTITUTE HAS PIONEERED THE EVOLUTION OF FASHION BUSINESS

KOLKATA, MUMBAI, PATNA, BHOPAL, SHILLONG, KANNUR AND
KANGRA.NIFT,
BESIDES
CONDUCTING
REGULAR
PROFESSIONAL
UNDERGRADUATE AND POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMMES IN DESIGN,
MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY, ALSO OFFERS SHORT.

AIM
TO DESIGN A FASHION TECNOLOGY INSTITUTE THAT ESTABLISHES A
BENCHMARK FOR THE QUALITY OF PROFESSIONALS THAT GO INTO THE FASHION
INDUSTRY.

OBJECTIVES

 TO GENERATE A VOCABULARY AND DESIGN TEMPERAMENT OF THE

PROJECT FOR ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION THAT WILL REFLECT THE
URBAN CHARACTER OF THAT PLACE.

NEED OF THE PROJECT

CHANDIGARH DOESNOT HAVE ANY FASHION INSTITUTE OF ITS OWN
HENCE IT IS MANDATORY TO DESIGN A INSTITUTE WITH THE URBAN
CONTEXT THAT ESTABLISHES A PLATFORM FOR THE STUDENTS WHO
WANT TO VENTURE INTO THE FASHION INDUSTRY.
ITS HIGH TIME THAT WE CREATE A GLOBAL IDENTITY THROUGH
CUTTING EDGE INDIA DESIGNS. THE NIFT DESIGNERS ARE EQUALLY
CONCERNED ABOUT THE HANDLOOM WEAVERS, KHADI WEAVERS AND
HANDICRAFTS ARTISANS AND ENSURE THAT THE DESIGN
INTERVENTIONS HELP THEM TOO.

SCOPE
ESTABLISHING A BENCHMARK FOR THE QUALITY OF PROFESSIONALS
THAT GO INTO THE FASHION INDUSTRY.
THE INSTITUTE PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE AND STATE-OF-THE-ART
INFRASTRUCTURE AND EQUIPMENT TO IMPART BOTH PRACTICAL AND
THEORETICAL TRAINING.
THE FACILITIES AND SERVICES OFFERED TO THE STUDENTS ALLOW
THEM THE FREEDOM TO EXPERIMENT AND GENERATE CREATIVE IDEAS.
LIVELY AND VIBRANT CAMPUSES ARE COMPLEMENTED WITH FACILITIES
THAT EQUAL THE BEST IN THE WORLD AT NIFT.
CREATIVE ARCHITECTURE AND SPACIOUSNESS DEFINES ALL NIFT
BUILDINGS, WHICH HOUSE FULLY EQUIPPED LECTURE ROOMS, DESIGN
STUDIOS AND LABORATORIES, RESOURCE CENTRES, ACTIVITY CENTRES
AND HOSTELS.
THE EDUCATION STRUCTURE EMPHASISES HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE
THROUGH PRACTICAL SET-UPS AND STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY.

NIFT REQUIREMENTS
RESOURCE CENTRE
THE NATIONAL RESOURCE CENTRE AT NEW DELHI AND THE RESOURCE
CENTRE AT EACH NIFT CENTRE ARE PILLARS OF INFORMATION AND
KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT.
EACH RESOURCE CENTRE HAS AN INTEGRATED COLLECTION OF PRINT,
VISUAL AND CREATIVE MATERIAL RESOURCES: THE ONLY
SYSTEMATICALLY DOCUMENTED SOURCE OF INFORMATION AVAILABLE

METHODOLOGY
THE FOLLOWING METHODOLOGIES WILL BE ADOPTED IN TWO PHASES TO
COME UP WITH THE FINAL DESIGN.
RESEARCH PHASE
LITERATURE REVIEW
CASE STUDY
THIS IS PREPARATORY PHASE FOR THESIS PROJECT IN WHICH DATA, FACTS,
SPATIAL NEEDS AND REQUIREMENTS ARE STUDIES FOCUSING ON THE
APPROVED TOPIC. WE WILL STUDY THE PRESENT FUNCTIONING AND
ORGANIZATION OF SPACE THROUGH CASE STUDIES. ALL THE GATHERED IN
THIS PHASE WILL BE APPLIED IN OUR DESIGN PHASE.

DESIGN PHASE

SITE SELECTION AND ANALYSIS

PROGRAM FORMULATION AND ZONING
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF OUTPUT DESIGN
PREPARATION OF ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS, 3DD VIEWS, MODEL,
REPORT FOR FINAL PRESENTATION

THIS PHASE WILL ORIENT ITSELF ON CREATING PROPER DESIGN OF THESIS

TOPIC SELECTED WHERE THE COMBINATION OF ALL KNOWLEDGE GATHERED
FORM RESEARCH PHASE WOULD BE APPLIED. THIS COULD BE BETTER
UNDERSTOOD FROM THE CHARTS BELOW.
