Abstract

The destiny of India is now being shaped in her classrooms, in a world based on marketing, science and technology, it is education that determines the level of prosperity, welfare and security of the people. Institutes in India always acted as a major attraction for development. An existing urban fabric is molded by the institution. Institute attracts a mass of people that altogether results as markets, housing etc. While Design Institutes has a broader impact on the surrounding city life and dwellers. A radical change can be seen in a city and its dwellers when a bunch of young aspirant designers start their experimentation and make new compositions. To create such an environment, a well-designed institute is much needed. In the process of the production of space, architects are representatives of institutional knowledge. Now institute designing is only way to achieve both small-‘a’ and capital-‘A’ architecture in a single project. a architecture Deals with public spaces, Architectural language and character may be very easy or dramatic (metaphoric); where A architecture deals with Iconic structures Creates power over to its user. Architectural language and character is more dominant. The Design institutes unlike others are dedicated to groom upcoming designers in this country , so while creating it the designers and architects took lot of care and the motive always been to create an atmosphere to make it more sensible. We will be looking through some of this institutions, a background study of the concept used in those buildings. For a small city like Panchkula, where good business is available, but the city is still underdeveloped. An institute has a chance to become an iconic structure, so the architect has his liberty to design any complex form, follow any particular design theory. He have to look after the minute details like street furniture, street light, other hardscape and landscape area simultaneously have to be careful about his building also . Institute building is public in Nature, but people concerned there has to around that buildings more than their homes. Using of natural resources is also a big challenge, unlike commercial buildings these building cannot run on air condition for full day. So climatic aspects also has to be look after. All together designing an institute is a dynamic opportunity for an architect to taste his skills and freedom for experimentation.
