•Design Principles:
•Light as a controlling factor
•Use of thick concrete walls to
create enclosed spaces
•Interior spaces designed to be full
and satisfying despite external
constraints
•Architectural order based on
geometric forms (squares, circles,
triangles, rectangles)
•Emphasis on unity between house
and nature (light and wind)
Hulku effect
Emphasizing nothingness and
empty space to represent the
beauty of simplicity .
Mostly constructed with
concrete providing a sense of
cleanliness and weightlessness
even concrete is heavy
material.

•User behavior stimulated by the architecture
•Perception changes at every curve
•Circulation Space:

circulation and shows a totally
different view as the user enters
thereby controlling the user
behaviour

SIDDHARTHA CHILDREN AND WOMEN
HOSPITAL
• The shape of the hospital building is
based on an extremely simple,
rectangular form. In respect of
construction method or materials, our
possibilities were limited due to diffi
culties of cost issues and availability
of local technology.
• The exterior walls are made of locally
manufactured red brick; the interior is
covered with mortar and finished
with white paint that gives bright and
clean impression to the space.
SIDDHARTHA CHILDREN AND
WOMEN HOSPITAL
• The built volume is an hierarchical
interplay between multiple cuboids,
both solid and voids bound by
surfaces.
• A prominent cubical
volume, consisting of the ramps,
intersects the main body at a sharp
angle, creating an emphasis on
the master-plan.
• The vertical dominance, on the
other hand, is created at the back
facade of the building with a towering
cuboid, flanked by two pseudo cuboids
of the main block on either side.

● The eclecticism derives from
integrating an old-world look
with new methods of
construction and design that
address concerns about
ensuring efficient and
pleasant workspaces that are
also environmentally
efficient.

DESIGN FEATURES
USE OF EASILY AVAILABLE
MATERIAL
There has been use of bricks in the facade
and jhingati tile in slope roof which is easily
available material of that place. Malpi school has
vernacular architecture with a visionary design
that has been built with a modern approach. its
mud and brick color gives aesthetic value.
COURTYARD SYSTEM
Malpi school has a free plan with a
courtyard system in the academic block
which helps in free flow of light and
ventilation in each classroom. This helps
in avoiding long single loaded corridors.
also we can find the use of contour in the
open courtyard space by making
amphitheaters as interactive space

GREEN INTERACTIVE SPACES
There has been consideration for soft landscape in
malpi as there is a higher percentage of soft
landscape in comparison to hard landscape. These
garden areas have been used as interactive spaces
by creating seating spaces
VISUAL CONNECTION
There was a visual connection between each
block and from one level to another which was
captivating. The given figure shows
connection from one verandah to another three
in the courtyard plan
