CONCLUSION

1. An ideal course, be it involved with architecture or planning would

beone that offers students flexibility and more choices.
The aim of the institution should not only be to produce
through, able and competent professionals but also to promote
research and provide choice for exploring topics and subjects of
ones owns choice.
2. To create an environment which
a) Inspires the sprit of creativity and inventiveness
b) Provides an environment conducive to learning
3. Use the building (or non building) as an educational tool to
demonstrate the importance of the environment in suitable human
life.
4. To look and the design, treatment and the rendering of open spaces
because in a campus like this open spaces play an important role as
public spaces
5. Build links between the environment and built spaces.
6. Environmentally responsive architecture
7.

CHALLENGES

1. Site is located in a typical hot, dry, desert type climate makes it a

challenge to control the micro climate within the project and also
reduces the dependence on mechanical environmental control
measures which are resource hungry

2. Adaptations of traditional architectural elements and passive cooling

strategies prevalent in the hot-dry desert climate of Rajasthan

3. Provision of flexible spaces which can be used in a multifunctional

manner

4. Providing proper working environment which would facilitate

faculties and students to teach, learn, and interact anywhere
