Energy Efficient Architecture of Hostel Blocks at St. Andrews Institute, Gurugram by ZED Lab
Completed in 2018, the Boys’ Hostel Block at the St. Andrews Institute of Technology and Management, Gurugram, was proposed as a linear built mass in the existing master plan of the campus, which posed challenges to create socially active and environmentally sustainable spaces. Subsequently, the Girls’ Hostel takes cues from the adjacent Boys’ Hostel Block and is articulated in brick and fair-faced concrete, with exposed structural members abutting the structure along all sides. The hostels’ design empowers students with freedom of movement within an environment that prioritizes thermal comfort and functionality, to become an exemplar of zero energy design.
Founding Director and Principal of Zero Energy Design Lab, Sachin Rastogi, narrates the process of designing and detailing the projects, as they blend traditional and modern knowledge to regulate internal temperatures.
