Students are the backbone of any society or nation. A nation’s progress is dependent on how much is the young generation educated. India is fortunate that more than 60% of its total population of the country consists of young people and most of them are students. India is home to some 34 million students in the higher education system out of which 18.6 million students are male & 16.0 million are females which is double the size of number of students in the west. By 2020, India is expected to reach the student enrollment mark of 40 million. The student mobility in India, both internationally & intra-nationally is expected to rise in the coming years. India is considered as an education hub in the Asia-pacific region. There is also a student influx from African nations & also from Bangladesh, Afghanistan, South Korea, Japan, China, France, Germany & USA. The student mobility in India, both internationally & intra-nationally is expected to rise in the coming years. The real issue here is with such sheer of volume of student there is a severe lack of quality student housing in India. As against 10.4 million students in India there are only 6.1 million bed capacity meaning that the student housing sector has a huge unmet demand. The aim of this project is to address the unmet student housing demand in India through an innovative architectural solution.

Gli studenti sono la spina dorsale di qualsiasi società o nazione. Il progresso di una nazione dipende da quanto è istruita la giovane generazione. L'India è fortunata che più del 60% della sua popolazione totale del paese sia composta da giovani e la maggior parte di loro sono studenti. L'India ospita circa 34 milioni di studenti nel sistema di istruzione superiore, di cui 18,6 milioni di studenti maschi e 16,0 milioni di femmine, il doppio del numero di studenti in Occidente. Entro il 2020, si prevede che l'India raggiunga la soglia di iscrizione studentesca di 40 milioni. Si prevede che la mobilità studentesca in India, sia a livello internazionale che intranazionale, aumenterà nei prossimi anni. L'India è considerata un centro educativo nella regione dell'Asia-Pacifico. C'è anche un afflusso di studenti da nazioni africane e anche da Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Corea del Sud, Giappone, Cina, Francia, Germania e Stati Uniti. Si prevede che la mobilità studentesca in India, sia a livello internazionale che intranazionale, aumenterà nei prossimi anni. Il vero problema qui è che con un tale volume di studenti c'è una grave mancanza di alloggi per studenti di qualità in India. Rispetto a 10,4 milioni di studenti in India, ci sono solo 6,1 milioni di posti letto, il che significa che il settore degli alloggi per studenti ha un'enorme domanda insoddisfatta. L'obiettivo di questo progetto è rispondere alla domanda insoddisfatta di alloggi per studenti in India attraverso una soluzione architettonica innovativa. La sfida era progettare una comunità di alloggi per studenti per 140 studenti occupanti con tutti i servizi condivisi. La comunità ha bisogno di avere uno studio, una doppia occupazione e quattro unità di condivisione con tutte le strutture all'avanguardia. La forma architettonica ottimizzata con la direzione del vento e della luce potrebbe aiutare a fornire uno spazio abitativo sostenibile e confortevole per gli studenti L'edificio oggetto di approfondimento, oltre ad aver seguito uno specifico processo di ottimizzazione morfologica e di luce diurna, mostra anche tecnologie costruttive idonee per modularità e adattabilità alle diverse configurazioni. Inoltre, l'utilizzo di fonti energetiche rinnovabili è il risultato di specifiche considerazioni climatiche e ambientali. L'intero compito è valorizzato da una visione d'insieme che unisce sinergicamente le diverse intercessioni attraverso la città così come ciascuna delle componenti della struttura: la costruzione, l'involucro e le strutture impiantistiche sono i postumi di una metodologia multidisciplinare e multiscalare che contribuiscono ad arrivare ad un ultimo risultato migliore.
