AIM: TO OUR FAMILIES-PAST,PRESENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS

Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs.
- Sustainability, World Commission 1987
• Towards the end of twentieth century the word sustainable (and sustainability)
entered into the consciousness of architects and became an essential concern in
the discourse of architecture.
• Although there is much written about the urgency of taking sustainability
seriously,and much advice about building techniques to adopt,there was very little
which addressed the interrelated issues of the sociocultural,ethical,professional and
technological complexities of ‘sustainable architecture’.
• “It is very important to understand the complexities which are relatively self-
contained and how architects conceptualized sustainability in the design of houses”.
• “Sustainable architecture is a revised conceptualization of architecture in response
to myriad of contemporary concerns about the effects of human activity”.
• to perform beautiful acts”.
 How should we go for it..? •Careful selection of environmentally sustainable

8. Save the Forests
10. Build to Last
11. Grow Your Food
12. Store Your Own Food
6. Use Local Materials
When you’re building a home out of materials
harvested in some distant land, they have to travel a
long way to make it to your little plot. This creates an
unnecessarily high carbon footprint and also reduces
the level of control you have over how those
materials are harvested. But if you use local
materials, as will be the case with Gaza’s 20 new
Eco-Schools, your carbon footprint shrinks
considerably and benefits your local economy.
9. Recycle Materials
We belong to a throwaway culture –
something the earth’s finite resources simply
can’t support. Recycling materials not only
gives new life to something discarded or
disused, but also provides an opportunity to
be creative and resourceful. See how old
windows have been given new life is this
wonderful design project.

7. Use Natural Materials

Natural materials not only have more aesthetic
appeal, at least in our view, but it turns out that
they are better for our health. A home that is built
with a porous natural material such as mud or
stone or lime breaths and promotes natural
circulation in the home. Anything else creates a
terribly unhealthy internal environment. Natural
materials also promote day lighting and superior
acoustics, whereas all kinds of interventions are
required in more artificial surroundings.
 In order to estimate the
environmental impact of a
construction material, it is
necessary to consider all stages

hours gets convenient.
•As the vehicular access cuts through the pedestrian zones, the pedestrian movement gets
disturbed, thus making it uncomfortable.
•The institutional zone is further divided into film wing and television wing. The film wing lies on
the northern part of the campus, while the T.V.
wing is no the south side.

PLANS
TV Studios:-
•Both the studios are of size 9X12mm, attached with a lights control room each 3X6m.
•The control room is located on the first floor level, which is of size 6X9m.
Rubber mat flooring is provided. Walls are also treated acoustically using perforated panels.
TV Editing Room:-
•The total number of students for the course is 10, but the number of rooms provided is only 6
which is inadequate. The students use these rooms in batches.
•The size of each room is 2X3 m.
Master Control Room:-
•All the videos cameras in the studio are controlled from the master control room.
•Size of the room is 6X6m. Other spaces associated with master contorl are, video tape
recording(VTR), maintenance room and store.
Main Theatre:-
•The auditorium is situated in one of the old studios of Prabhat time, so it has got no defined
elevation. It is used for performing as well as screening.
•Presently the capacity of the auditorium is 250 which would be insufficient for an increased no. of
students.
•Also the space is found to be inadequate to accommodate a large no. of people on special events like
drama or movie programme which are usually kept open for outsiders & ex-students.
•A camera department is attached to the theatre which consists of stores and maintenance rooms for
different types of cameras.
Residential Facilities:-
•The campus include girls and boys hostel and the director’s residence.
•The intention of having the director’s residence in the campus itself, is that the students and TV
trainees can have free access and informal discussion with his in various aspects of film making/TV
production.
•The boy’s hostel is located very near to the canteen.
•All the rooms are placed along singly loaded corridor overlooking into an open space.
•The toilets and the staircase are provided at the two ends of the buildings.
•Its also houses a common mess for boys and girls at the junction of the two arms of the building,
which is very inconvenient.
•The girls hostel is located near the entrance, near the director’s residence. The rooms are placed
along a doubly loaded corridor. And only the south facing rooms overlook into an open space.
•Both the hostel include common rooms and game rooms and also place for warden to stay.
Advantages and disadvantages
•Workshop building is near to TV studios thus providing a better service.
•The vehicular and Pedestrian movement should be separated properly.
•Administration departments, staff rooms are distinctly located thus causing less interaction between
them.
•There is a lack of recreational spaces.
•The auditorium is partly isolated from the main activity area thus gets apart from the integrity of the
campus.
•The main studios have no direct contact with the outdoor shooting area. Also the workshop &
property store are placed on opposite sides of the road.
•Covered parking can only take four cars which is very inadequate. No provision for covered parking
for visitors thus very inconvenient for them. The visitors have to park their vehicles beneath the tree
shadow in front of the gate office.
•Auditorium is not having special provisions of parking hence all the vehicles get parked on the road
next to it during the time of shows, casuing traffic congestion problems.
•The sports ground is not much used by the students for any programme or function & not even for
sports.
Lack of proper future planning has led to lot of redundant spaces and also the available spaces are
insufficient.

Kantana Institute Architects:
Bangkok Project Company Limited
Location: Thailand
Area: 2,000 sqm
Year of Completion: 2011

Kantana Institute is a Film school of undergraduates. The Institute is dedicated to the

master of drama in Thailand –. It is located in Kantana Movie Town . It is a one story
building which combines perfectly with the beautiful natural environment that
surrounds it.
•The building has an “Inserted for” with a linear corridor with the north-south axis and
the east-west axis. The corridor divides into four blocks with different functions. The
Inserted forest to be used as meditation space, so as to remind them to concentrate
what they are doing, whether it is making, or moving from place to place
There are five different areas within the establishment: An administration office, a lecture room, a
workshop, a library and a canteen. These areas are all linked by an Inserted forest in the shape of a
log pathway. The pathway is made out of grey stone and to walls are made from bricks. The 8
meters high wall is a background of the sun, a tree, and a man when they are connected by each
other’s shadows
The administration office is a multi-function space containing a chairperson’s office, program office
and a general office. They are connected to the courtyard. The sunlight makes this a very pleasant
area. The lecture room is a quiet area surrounded with a brick wall and “an Inhabit wall”. This the
ideal space to relax and unwind in between or after lectures. It is a free standing wall without
borderline.

The workshop is a good example of the interior character “darkness” . It

creates the feeling of a dream at night time. It helps the students to feel
peaceful and to focus while producing their film projects.The library is a place
where the natural sunlight from above, the sound of nature and the darkness
the surround the courtyard, come together in unison This room consists of a
wall lined
•With book, a meeting room, a Librarian counter, and multimedia area in the
center of the room. The canteen is an open air building. It is at the end of the
pathway. To make this a multifunction area for different activities, this space is
“non room”. In regards to materials used : This building is designed on the ”return
to basics construction”. It is based on natural craftsmanship.
