Our masterplan for VTU technological university establishes a new campus in the spectacular landscape north of Bangalore in India. The project consists of teaching and research facilities together with residential accommodation and a full range of social amenities for an initial on-site population of over 2000 students with capacity to grow over time across an 80ha site.
The organisation of the masterplan and the design of the buildings is strongly informed by a low-energy strategy that maximises shade, shelter and cooling in the hot and humid climate. The plan has been developed in collaboration with Kalayojan Architects in Mumbai.
