 INTRODUCTION

National institute of advanced studies in architecture (niasa),

pune was established in July 2005 , as the first institute of architecture ,
initiated jointly by the council of architecture(coa) and the centre for
development studies and activities(cdsa). it is a national level institute of
excellence , that facilities advanced research in various fields of
architecture to teachers , professionals and individual/students . niasa in

architectural institutions are very much different from other professional
institutions. the organization of spaces & activities creates better
interactions for students & professionals. Conferences, seminar,
workshop, parties and presentations create a wide platform for exchange
of thoughts which unifies culture & knowledge. to achieve such design
which is sensible enough for various activities is a key concern.

ABSTRACT

Architecture of India is rooted in

its history, culture and religion. Indian architecture progressed with time
and assimilated the many influences that came as a result of india's
global discourse with other regions of the world throughout its millennia-
old past. the architectural methods practiced in india are a result of
examination and implementation of its established building traditions and
outside cultural interactions.

though old, this eastern tradition has also incorporated

modern values as india became a modern nation state. the economic
reforms of 1991 further bolstered the urban architecture of 301/AR/14
india as the
country became more integrated with the world's economy.
traditional vastu shastra remains influential in india's architecture during

VISION

The roots of successful architectural carrier in the architectural

education and training a person has undergone through. The interaction
between the teachers and students is very important aspect of design.
architecture being basically through process, it is imperative to have an
informal space that stimulates people to interact openly and create a pool
of intellectual and informative exchange of ideas.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The aim of the research project of the rural studies to explore

the possibilities of the creating and imagination of development where
the rural communities could participate equally in the process by
involving them. The benefits of development should also come to them.

The objective would be to strengthen the identity of these

communities by reinforcing or even transforming, if required, their
present activity base and preparing a plan for their development ,so that
they can seamlessly integrate with the urban. This could also probably
help to create new imagination of the urban which would be more self-
sufficient and sustainable.

Promoting architecture
Enlarging public awareness
Creating an environ in which both formal space turns out to be
more conductive.
Generation of interactive spaces to promote and enhance better
student-student and student-faculty interaction.

SCOPE
The project will help us gain knowledge, while working on it, on climate of
site both micro and macro, architectural styles, modern, contemporary
and amalgamation with site, context study, studying various author and
books on understanding various aspect of designing and circulation .also
the study of landscaping and its effect on environment and planning
methodology.

A FURTHER STEP

to use available resources to create a comfortable, healthy and

interactive educational campus.
to address off site and on site environmental issues and develop a
prototype for future developments in the region.
to apply the concept of environmental and economic sustainability
as the major determinants for design.

IDEOLOGY

history shows the importance of relationship between human

activity and nature. human lives remained much dictated by solar and
seasonal cycles, instead of trying to homogenize living conditions
throughout the year.

a large part of indian subcontinent has for majority of year ample

sun- renewable, nonpolluting, abundant and direct source of all present
natural cycles on earth. for building design in majority of these regions,
the necessity is to control and utilize this abundance.
