IIM

          INDIAN  INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT   

ABSTRACT

This concept unfolds up all the twists and turns regarding Management and Management Institutes. The entire project is based on it. This sums up the change and the development of management skill in our community briefly explaining its needs and requirements.

This also helps in understanding and visualizing the inter-relationship between the two main aspects 
MANAGEMENT AND ARCHITECTURE.

The entire project provides a detailed analysis of studies over Management Institutes with the help of various literature studies undertaken. Also the standards and design considerations for such campuses.

Finally, the project wraps up, in detail, the integration of Management Industry under one roof.

Introduction:-

Management is an integrating process designed to achieve organized and purposeful results. It is the process by which managers create, direct maintain and operate purposive organizations through coordinated purpose human effort.

Overview of present situation

• Increasing population
• Growth in advanced technology
• High demand and less supply in all aspects
• Therefore for the better coordination among all the needs with respect to business we need to manage every aspect properly. Hence we need good managers which imply good institutions.

Why management education?

• Management education is the engineering which includes a systems approach to solving problems involving management of persons, machines and materials.
• The process of inductive learning goes beyond facts and theories.
• A process that teaches individual not only how to manage organizations, but also how to continually grow and learn throughout life. Innovation, leadership, teamwork and global focus are considered to be the essence of PGDBM course.
• Students gain conceptual and international skills while fine-tuning on the social purpose in managerial decision making, students learn to appreciate diverse and working environments and develop a holistic vision.

The objectives of managements:-

• To understand appreciate and manage the socio- economic, political, legal and technology environment of various business settings.
• To help acquire skills in the functional areas of Management.
• To help develop an attitude that can cope with changes and increase effectiveness.

How management education is different from any other technical education?

• The Management education is characterized by the following:
• There is a core body of knowledge which must be learnt by all participants in any full length management programmes.
• It is best imparted through participative and interactive learning methodologies.
• It requires strong and active interaction with different types of work organizations. It follows from above that students ought to be involved in a variety of project work and visiting faculty from work organizations should be utilized bringing the realities of work situations and practices into classroom.

Basic functions of management:

Management operates through five basic functions:

• Planning
• Organizing
• Cooperating
• Commanding
• Controlling

Towards the end of 20^th century, business management came to consist of six separate branches, namely

•   Financial Management
•   Human Resource management
•   Information Technology management
•   Marketing Management
•   Production Management
•   Strategic Management

INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT:-

•  IIMs are renowned for the highest quality management education in India. They primarily offer post graduate, doctoral and executive education programmes.
• The establishment of IIMs was initiated by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, based on the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
• Some IIMs also offer short term executive education courses and part-time programmes.

• IIMs are registered as societies under the Indian societies registration act.
• Each IIM is autonomous and exercises independent control over its day-to-day operations. However the administration of all IIMs and the overall strategy of IIMs is overseen by the IIM council. The IIM council is headed by India’s minister of human resource development.
• The Union Cabinet, on 24th January 2017, approved the Indian Institute of Management Bill, 2017 which, if passed, would declare IIMs as Institute of national importance and enable them to grant degrees and further bring many other important changes to the institute. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Institutes_of_Management#cite_note-13)

The two-year post graduate programme in management (PGP), offering the post graduate diploma in Management (PGDM), is the flagship programme across all IIMs. These post graduate diploma programmes are considered equivalent to regular MBA Programme. Some IIMs also offer a one-year post graduate diploma programme for graduates with more work experience. Some IIMs offer the fellow programme in management (FPM), a Doctoral programme. The fellowship is considered to be equivalent to PHD globally. Many IIMs also offer short term executive education courses and part-time programmes.

• Presently there are 20 IIMs in India, in the states of west Bengal (Kolkata), Gujarat (Ahmedabad), Karnataka (Bangalore), Uttar Pradesh (lucknow), kerala (kozhikode), Madhya Pradesh (indore), Meghalaya (shillong), Haryana (rohtak), Jharkhand (ranchi), tamilnadu (tiruchirappalli), rajasthan (udaipur), uttarakhand (kashipur), maharastra (nagpur), bihar (Bodhgaya), Andhra Pradesh (Visakhapatnam), Punjab (amritsar), Odisha (sambalpur), himachal Pradesh (sirmaur) and Jammu.

Site zoning

Overall plan of institution is divided into 3 parts

Teaching sector

Student hostel

Dining facilities

Building blocks are arranged along the lakes

Academic and administration area are merged or placed nearby

Orientation

Building blocks are oriented in such a way that it faces at last one side towards the lakes. 

For advantage of good aesthetics as well as better wind and light

Circulation pattern

Circulation in IIM campus is through 3 major roads

Peripheral

Internal

Smaller inner roads

Concept

Doshi’s approach to the design is non-formal and non-hierarchical.

 An open space in which the classroom sense must be all-over, outside as well as inside

 the building and in which there would be no restriction to the exchange of ideas.

• Axis- Corridors act as the major axis which the functions are dispersed.

• Symmetry- buildings themselves normally symmetrical, but their spatial disposition 
  never axial. The parts are organized in a balanced way, the whole is distinctly asymmetrical.

• Datum- roofs and walls, broken into smaller unit by ribs and pilasters, acts as Datum

• Rhythm- Regular occurrence of the structural columns in the movement area

Inferences

The design of the institute must be functional.

Design concept should have a strong visual element that’s as a focal point of overall 

scheme linkages between different facilities should be covered.

Landscape elements like water bodies, street furniture’s should be added a/c to planning

Parking facilities should be proper

Library and computer Centre are near to faculty and academic block

Circulation area should be having adequate relationship with total build up.

Orientation

Building blocks are oriented in such a way that it faces at last one side towards the lakes. 

For advantage of good aesthetics as well as better wind and light

Concept

Based on primary method of learning by interaction between students themselves, 

with the faculty as the main source of learning. So academic and administration 

blocks are placed nearby.

The accommodations are separate or apart which was  enhanced by the features of lakes.

Some of the main features are-

• Use of lakes as aesthetic as well as functional purposes

• Use of open or simple plan

• Use of new techniques and building materials

• Great use of exposed glass and dressed stones

• Longitudinal face of every block is faced towards south for getting optimum sunlight

Literature study 3

The campus of a university is really a realm of spaces which may be connected by ways of walking and the walking as a protected kind of walking. You may consider it as high space together with low spaces and various spaces where people can sort or find the place where they can do what they want to do. LOUIS .I. KHAN

IIM Ahmedabad

INTRODUCTION

• Date of establishment- 1962
• Established to meet the demands of industries for competent managers as well as to improve prevalent  management techniques
• Context- Urban setting, within an institutional zone
• Location- Vastrapur, Ahmedabad, Gujarat about 15 kms from Ahmedabad airport and 9 kms from Ahmedabad (Kalupur) railway station.

• Climate- Hot dry climate, with very high temperature and harsh sun
• Topography- Flat land form with negligible slope
• Vegetation- Sparse vegetation, difficult to maintain
• Site area- 65 acres

CONCEPT According to Louis I Kahn, its plan comes from his feeling of a monastery.  He always wanted to give a solid and formal look to his buildings.  He wanted to create a “fortress in brick” in keeping with his some of the features • Exposed brick work • Large openings or voids in walls • Exposed concrete works. • Very less use of glass for windows • Wide entrance, window openings • Diagonal system of placing the blocks Campus ORIENTATION The diagonal layout had the advantage of the building being oriented towards the  south-westerly breezes. The orientation also helps to cut out the west sun,  reducing glare. CIRCULATION PATTERN Circulation in IIM campus is through 3 major roads  Peripheral  Internal  Smaller and internal roads ACTIVITY PATTERN The day time activity is concentrated in academic and administrative zones More use of interaction and transition area like corridor, galleries and courts and foyers throughout the campus Night time activity shift to library and hostel blocks and to the courtyard and foyers Seasonal activities of large social gatherings happen in Louis Kahn plaza Activity tends to flow between classrooms, library, computer centre, canteens and student dormitories Separate access is provided for the institutional complex and residential area    LOUIS I KAHN PLAZA. To facilitate interaction between students and faculty, the main academic block developed around the plaza. It also acts as a transition space between class and administration Hostel Campus Architecture. “A campus is the mirror of a college or university’s soul, reflecting its  history, its culture and image, its management style, and even its future.  It tells all who visit it how it thinks about itself and the way it expects  others to judge it.”  Introduction Campus design has always been rich in influences and diverse in response. The physical character of campus reflects its chronological and stylistic development as an institution, signifying periods of history, pedagogical trends,programmatic directives and general characteristics of stylistic preference and aesthetic selectivity.  Such factors have been instrumental in the definition of campus "sense of place" for which it is so well known and remembered.  The predominant theme of the built environment of the campus, Campus Design Guidelines:- A truly successful university campus satisfies two distinct criteria— it provides an effective FUNCTIONAL environment and a beautiful VISUAL environment.

 Objectives of campus design:-

• Reflecting the architectural vocabulary … the basic triad
• To create a harmony between the built or the designed environment and the surrounding.
• The campus design shall serve to strengthen the sense of community at the Institute, with the belief that the daily interaction of residential life only increase the potential of learning.
• Instead of providing dry and rigid courtyards, garden courtyard and airy green corridors shall be provided to enhance interaction among the faculty, students and visitors.
• Architectural design shall be responsive to climate and site characteristics, built form and functional planning should bear upon such characteristics.
• Minimization of artificial light.
• Thermal protection, natural ventilation facilitation, noise control and pleasant visual experience shall be specifically emphasized.
• Landscape planning shall aim to exchange thermal performance of buildings and create an appropriate microclimate suitable for the academic activities.
• Master planning shall ensure efficiency in the utilization of site. Conservation of land as a resource for posterity, open spaces shall have positive utilization, eliminating non-functional negative open spaces.
• Encouraging pedestrian movement with appropriately planned pathways to mitigate hot ambient conditions would be desirable.
• Selection of building materials shall aim to achieve low carbon footprint compared to other similar academic campuses.  

Scopes:-

• Master planning shall be designed in details.
• Framing out detail space programmes and standards with proper case studies, area analysis and bye-laws study.
• Energy efficient techniques and other innovative structural detailing can be a part of the design as concept and soon..

will be continue later....
