IDST Taksasila Medical College, Modinagar
The buildings have been designed to have a modernistic style using modern building material such as heat reflective glass curtain wall, double glazed units, exposed brick, GRC Jalis and surface textured finishes. In an attempt to create a landmark building. The use of colours in a subtle manner blends with the fluidity of glass to reflect the academic square, the street and the landscape.
The buildings have been aligned the North-South Axis with the volume being uniformly disposed. The building elements such as Louvers have been provided at the east and the west face to shade openings and to reduce heat transfer in buildings. The openings have been provided along the East-West axis to tap the prevailing wind direction of north-west to south-east for good ventilation and better comfort condition. Buildings have been designed to fulfil the requirements of a Medical College and the Indian lifestyle in the residential zone in terms of spatial planning providing each space its own privacy and defining its territoriality. The open and the closed spaces have been interwoven with the play of solid and the void, levels and terraces, in an interpretation of scaled spaces having a defined geometry with a prominent visual axis. The optimum enclosures are humane in scale and are either defined by the built form or by the landscape. The attempt has been to concentrate services and optimise circulation areas through defined service core thereby enhancing the efficiency of the building.
