Projected strength - up to 800students starting from Nursery till Class XII.
Architect – ABIN design studio
Existing Greenwood high preschool in salt lake.
It is the only International School in Bangalore to have received the honour of bagging 5 National awards and to be ISO 18001:2007 accredited with a “Safety and Health Management Systems Certificate”.
HOW?
Motto
integration with
nature
green practices
don’t preach what
you don’t practice.
‘Rooted in Knowledge’'The Superlative Synergy‘
blending the old with
new,
Fostering creative
and analytical
knowledge

• Site area – 10.9
acres
• Location – Rajarhat
• Latitude – 22 33’ N
• Latitude – 88 28’ E
• Satellite city
• Three action zones

CITY
3. PROPOSED
INDUSTRIES
4. COGNIZANT
5. RESIDENCES
• 10 M WIDE ROAD
ON ONE SIDE
• BAGJOLA CANAL
• Permissible height
20.0m
• F.A.R. max. – 2.0
• Ground
coverage – 45%
• Set back from
residential – 3.0 m
• Green area – 8%
of ground area
Infrastructure in Rajarghat – futuristic design
Climatic analysis Tropical wet and hot climate.
Annual mean temperature = 26.8 C
Maximum temperature > 40 C
Maximum rainfall – 425 mm
Wind from Bay of Bengal keeps the
humidity high.
Breeze from Bay of Bengal (South)
Mutual shading needed
Longer axis should be towards N-S
orientation
Cross ventilation needed
Segregation in levels for ventilation
and skylights needed.
Strength
• Emerging vicinity - No problem of Water, Electricity and Drainage.
• Proximity to BagjolaCanal
• Non-contour site.
Weakness
• Not in the main city
• Only one access road to the site.
• Irregular shape of the site
Opportunity
• Luxury residences proposed in the vicinity
• Large site area – play areas
Threat
• DPS campus just aside the site
• Buffer needed from all sides
• Highly needed Buffer and screening from front side.
• Since only one access road – front façade orientation is not flexible
• Pedestrian space has to be given on the site.
• To integrate with nature, design implications have to be given.
• Proper parking and circulation of vehicles to be given inside the site.
CASE STUDY – CALCUTTA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
• Criteria – Culture, Scale• Residential project
• Location - 15 km from
Kolkata Airport
• Architect – ABIN Design
Studio
• Year of Construction – 2006
• Total Site Area - 9 Acres
• Built -up area - 64,400
Site Details
Inferences
Diagonal approach provides a
perspective view and increases
design appreciation.
Separate entry for sports facilities
and OAT
Academic block in the front and
the sports area in the backdrop
of the site
Vehicles are prohibited inside
the site and natural walk-away
to maintain silence
Introvert planning of individual
blocks
Too many different blocks and
hence lack in connectivity.
• Blending of informal and formal spaces
• Emphasis on Interior design
• Natural ventilation
Greenwood International school, Bangalore
• Criteria – Relevance• Location – Bangalore
• Architect – ACE group
• Year of Construction –
2004
• Total Site Area - 35 Acres
• Built -up area – 110,000
Site Details
INFERENCES
Auditorium separated from main building for access.
Segregation of junior and senior departments
Integration with nature and organic sprawl of the same
Emphasis on sports facilities
Privacy of individual blocks, swimming, etc. and no proper
provision of sitting spaces and locker rooms
Lack of futuristic vision and poor connectivity in playgrounds and
other blocks
• Segregation of classes through common spaces• Paved pathways used as architectural elements
• Emphasis on landscaping
• Use of punched windows
Culture
Case Study : The International School, Hague
Criteria for selection : Scale, Planning
Location : Hague, Netherlands
Site Area : 8 Acres
Architect : Atelier Pro architects
Strength : Approximately 1500 Students
Site Analysis
• Pedestrian waiting
Space
• Sports facilities on the
backdrop
• Indoor Swimming
and Sports
- low maintenance
- Can be used 24 hrs
a day
- privacy
- Ventilation and
condensation
- expensive
• Corridors - double use as
study area.
• Atrium illuminated by
daylight
• Use of Self-invented
sunscreen blinds
Before the pupils enter
their classroom they cross
a living room. Here they
hang out with their
classmates. This way
there’s a right balance
between the joining and
the division of the three
different schools.
The younger children have
their own entrance and
square, called Glass House.
Here they can play and have
their lunch.
Inferences
Corridors as activity zones
Due importance should be given to the natural lighting of the
classrooms.
Usage of blinds to reduce the glare and make an iconic identity.
Incorporation of living rooms before entry into the classrooms to
facilitate merging of the three zones.
Labs and science rooms as screening block
Indoor sports facilities
Waiting area for pedestrians
Separate entry for kids.
No separate play area for kids

EVOLUTION OF DESIGN
Segregation of Spaces (Junior and
Senior)
Accessibility to each block
Visual penetration
Separation of one block to another is
too large
Lack of blend of formal and informal
spaces
Traffic entering the site
Discipline through one
block
Hierarchy in spaces
Visual penetration loss
No segregation of Junior
block
Future expansion
EVOLUTION OF DESIGN
• Admin and lab block in the front which also provides
the screening from front
• Courtyard gives segregation
• Play of levels to give informal spaces in between
formal structure
• Separate entry for auditorium and play area
• North – South Orientation of the blocks for maximum
daylighting
• Blocks placed for mutual shading

State tree
Alstonia consists of about 40-60 species (according to different authors), native to tropical and subtropical Africa, Central America, southeast Asia, Polynesia and Australia, with most species in the Malesian region.
These trees can grow very large, such as Alstonia pneumatophora, recorded with a height of 60 m and a diameter of more than 2 m. Alstonia longifolia is the only species growing in Central America (mainly shrubs, but also trees 20 m high).
Used for screening and shading
Mangroves
Large variety in sizes.
Found in abundance in Sunderban delta
Very less water evaporation
Red Mangroves also a popular variety
Great Banyan
Historical Significance.
Knowledge tree – Lord Buddha
The Great Banyan is a banyan tree (Ficus benghalensis) located in Acharya JagadishChandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden, Howrah, near Kolkata, India.[1] It was the widest tree in the world[citation needed] in terms of the area of the canopy and is estimated to be about 1200 to 1250 years old.[1] It became diseased after it was struck by lightning, so in 1925 the middle of the tree was excised to keep the remainder healthy; this has left it as a clonal colony, rather than a single tree. A 330 metre long road was built around its circumference, but the tree continues to spread beyond it.
Ornamental Plants
BOUGAINVILLEA
The vine species grow anywhere from 1 to 12 m (3 to 40 ft.) tall, scrambling over other plants with their spiky thorns. The thorns are tipped with a black, waxy substance. They are evergreen where rainfall occurs all year, or deciduous if there is a dry season. The leaves are alternate, simple ovate-acuminate, 4–13 cm long and 2–6 cm broad. The actual flower of the plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six bracts with the bright colours associated with the plant, including pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white, or yellow. Bougainvillea glabra is sometimes referred to as "paper flower" because the bracts are thin and papery. The fruit is a narrow five-lobed achene.
Nyctanthes arbor-tristis
(Night-flowering Jasmine) 10 m tall, with flaky grey bark
2–6.5 cm broad
Anti bacterial and anti fungal – long life
Nyctanthes arbor-tristis is a shrub or a small tree growing to 10 m tall, with flaky grey bark. The leaves are opposite, simple, 6–12 cm long and 2–6.5 cm broad, with an entire margin. The flowers are fragrant, with a five- to eight-lobed white corolla with an orange-red centre; they are produced in clusters of two to seven together, with individual flowers opening at dusk and finishing at dawn. The fruit is a flat brown heart-shaped to round capsule 2 cm diameter, with two sections each containing a single seed
Combretum indicum
Combretum indicum, also known as the Chinese honeysuckle or Rangoon creeper, is a vine with red flower clusters and is found inAsia. It is found in many other parts of the world either as a cultivated ornamental or run wild.
The Rangoon creeper is a ligneous vine that can reach from 2.5 meters to up to 8 meters. The leaves are elliptical with an acuminate tip and a rounded base. They grow from 7 to 15 centimeters and their arrangement is opposite. The flowers are fragrant and tubular and their color varies from white to pink to red. The 30 to 35 mm long fruit is ellipsoidal and has five prominent wings. The fruit tastes like almonds when mature. The niyog-niyogan is usually dispersed by water.
MYRTUS COMMUNIS
The fruit is a round berry
containing several
seeds, most commonly
blue-black in colour. A
variety with yellow-
amber berries is also
present. The seeds are
dispersed by birds that
eat the berries.
Sorrel
Common sorrel or garden sorrel (Rumexacetosa), often simply called sorrel, is a perennial herb in the family Polygonaceae. Other names for sorrel include spinach dock and narrow-leaved dock. It is a common plant in grassland habitats and is cultivated as a garden herb or leaf vegetable
Sorrel is a slender herbaceous perennial plant about 60 cm high, with roots that run deep into the ground, as well as juicy stems and edible, arrow-shaped (sagittate) leaves. The lower leaves are 7 to 15 cm in length with long petioles and a membranous ocrea formed of fused, sheathing stipules. The upper ones are sessile, and frequently become crimson. It has whorled spikes of reddish-green flowers, which bloom in early summer, becoming purplish.[1][2] The species is dioecious, with stamens and pistils on different plants
