新校区采用净零能耗设计,以应对那格浦尔的复合气候。该建筑的灵感来自那格浦尔独特的纬度(癌症正下方),体现了该实践的s.O.U.L.(可持续、优化、独特和宜居)设计过程,并融入了被动设计策略,以显著降低能耗。此外,建筑师在整个设计过程中优先考虑文化包容性和利益相关者的参与,确保校园反映用户的愿望和价值观,同时保留上下文身份。协作研讨会、设计专题讨论会和反馈会促进了建筑师、客户和最终用户之间的有意义对话,从而形成了真正包容和响应迅速的设计解决方案。
The new campus features a net-zero energy-enabled design that responds to Nagpur's composite climate. The architecture, inspired by Nagpur's unique latitude (just below the tropic of Cancer), embodies the practice's S.O.U.L. (Sustainable, Optimized, Unique, and Liveable) design process, and incorporates passive design strategies to significantly reduce its energy consumption. Moreover, the architects prioritized cultural inclusivity and stakeholder participation throughout the design process, ensuring that the campus reflects the aspirations and values of its users while retaining contextual identity. Collaborative workshops, design charrettes, and feedback sessions facilitated meaningful dialogue between architects, clients, and end-users, resulting in a truly inclusive and responsive design solution.

场地规划和形态-建筑的形式和方向在实现众多可持续发展目标方面发挥了不可或缺的作用。它以一个独特的X形平面为特色,每一个100米长的翅膀都指向癌症北回归线22.5度,中心交叉点形成了核心。这种干预措施,只要将每个地板的深度限制在18米,就能确保90%的工作空间从两侧获得充足的日光。形态也符合程序要求,建立了一个中央流通节点,将位于机翼上的海上开发中心(ODC)聚集在一起。
Site Planning and Morphology - The building's form and orientation played an integral role in achieving the numerous sustainability goals. It features a distinctive X-shaped plan, with each of the 100m long wings oriented at 22.5 degrees to the tropic of Cancer, and the central intersection forming the core. This intervention, long with limiting the depth of each floor plate to 18m, ensures that 90% of the workspaces receive ample daylight from both sides. The morphology also responds to programmatic requirements, establishing a central circulation node that brings together the Offshore Development Centres (ODC) located in the wings.

规划效率-海上开发中心(ODC)的设计效率很高。大约20%的面积用于流通核心,80%用于工作空间。多样化的项目包括协作工作站、会议室、休息区和办公舱。每个工作空间都是使用无数材料进行独特设计的,其特征是地板图案的明显变化、高脚凳、桌子等适应性家具以及多样化的调色板。健身房和休闲口袋等设施被纳入该计划,以促进健康和福祉。公用事业区与工作场所分开,优化了各种用户群体的流通模式。停车场布局设计高效,服务核心的战略布局使运营能够顺利进行,而不会中断任何工作流程。这有助于确保校园对行人友好。低建筑高度保持了与周围景观的接近,促进了人与自然的互动。
Planning Efficiency - The Offshore Development Centres (ODC) are designed with high levels of efficiency. Roughly twenty percent of the area is dedicated to circulation cores, and eighty per cent reserved for workspaces. The diverse programme includes collaborative workstations, conference rooms, break-out areas, and office pods. Each workspace is uniquely designed using a myriad of materials—and is characterised by a distinct shift in flooring patterns, adaptable furniture such as high stools, tables, etc., and a diverse colour palette. Amenities like gyms and relaxation pockets are included in the programme to promote health and well-being. The utility zones are separated from the workplace, optimizing circulation patterns for various user groups. Parking layouts have been designed efficiently, and the strategic placement of service cores enables operations to be carried out smoothly without disrupting any workflows. This helps ensure a pedestrian-friendly campus. The low building height maintains proximity to the surrounding landscape, facilitating human-nature interaction.

被动和可持续设计策略-采用的关键设计策略之一是结合适合那格浦尔气候的被动冷却技术。借鉴传统建筑原理,校园采用自然通风系统和调节室内温度的热质元件,减少了对机械冷却的依赖。垂直鳍片沿着立面的整个长度以不同的角度战略性地定向,以调节光线的进入。鳍的基本色调是橙色,并添加了泥土色调以形成渐变。该设计的灵感来自七个swaras(印度古典音乐音符),为建筑的外观增添了节奏感和视觉活力。
Passive and Sustainable Design Strategies - One of the key design strategies employed was the integration of passive cooling techniques tailored to Nagpur's climate. Borrowing from traditional architectural principles, the campus features natural ventilation systems and thermal mass elements that regulate indoor temperatures, reducing reliance on mechanical cooling. Vertical fins are strategically oriented at varying angles along the entire length of the facades to regulate the ingress of light. The base hue for the fins is orange, and earthy tones are added to develop a gradient. The design is inspired by the seven swaras (Indian classical music notes) and adds a sense of rhythm and visual dynamism to the building's exterior.

鳍片的配置会根据具体程序进行调整,对于工作区、休息区和会议空间来说是不同的。工作空间采用40度的窄角度,而鳍片在休息空间和会议区则以60度的宽角度开放,为相邻的景观提供了充足的视野。通过降低窗户与墙壁的比例,再加上光架,工作站上的眩光大大减少。该设计还集成了最先进的技术,如辐射华夫饼冷却系统,预计将节省大量运营成本。该系统利用混凝土板的质量来吸收和散发热量,在不需要过度能耗的情况下保持舒适的室内条件。智能建筑控制的集成进一步优化了能源使用,允许实时监测和调整环境参数。与GRIHA基准相比,这些设计策略使能源性能指数(EPI)降低了52%。这也意味着校园的能耗仅为典型办公楼的五分之一。
The fins' configuration responds to the specific program and is different for workspaces, break-out areas, and meeting spaces. A narrow 40-degree angle is employed for workspaces, whereas the fins open up to a wider, welcoming 60-degree angle in break-out spaces and meeting areas, granting ample views to the adjacent landscape. By decreasing the window-to-wall ratio, coupled with light shelves, glare on workstations is significantly reduced. The design also integrates state-of-the-art technologies such as a radiant waffle cooling system, projected to result in substantial operational cost savings. This system utilizes the mass of the concrete slabs to absorb and dissipate heat, maintaining comfortable indoor conditions without the need for excessive energy consumption. The integration of smart building controls further optimizes energy usage, allowing for real-time monitoring and adjustment of environmental parameters. These design strategies have led to a 52% reduction in the Energy Performance Index (EPI) compared to GRIHA benchmarks. This also means that the campus consumes only one-fifth of the energy of a typical office building.

历史和文化元素-除了功能方面,印孚瑟斯园区的建筑设计反映了对文化和历史背景的深刻理解。该设计从那格浦尔丰富的遗产中汲取灵感,将当地艺术、象征主义和工艺元素融入建筑形式。建筑的垂直边缘以整体混凝土墙为特色,被视为城市画布。30米高的碾压混凝土墙一端展示了那格浦尔堡的“零英里位置”当代插图,另一端展示了印孚瑟斯工作文化的思维树代表。从立面上描绘的当代艺术到散布在室内空间的主题艺术品,校园的各个方面都反映了对地区认同和传统的庆祝。Infosys园区是21世纪的先锋工作场所,展示了与可持续发展目标和文化认同相一致的创新设计策略。它是未来十年印度城市化挑战(估计有10亿平方英尺的建筑)的典范,强调了负责任的建筑在塑造工作空间未来方面的重要性。
Elements of History and Culture - Beyond its functional aspects, the architectural design of the Infosys campus reflects a deep appreciation for cultural and historical contexts. The design borrows inspiration from Nagpur's rich heritage, incorporating elements of local art, symbolism, and craftsmanship into the built form. The perpendicular edges of the building feature monolithic concrete walls and are visualized as urban canvases. The 30m tall RCC walls showcase a 'Zero-Mile Location' contemporary illustration of Nagpur Fort on one end and a mind tree representative of Infosys' work culture on the other. From the contemporary art depicted on the façade to the thematic artwork scattered throughout the interior spaces, every aspect of the campus reflects a celebration of regional identity and tradition. The Infosys Campus stands as a pioneering 21st-century workspace, showcasing innovative design strategies aligned with sustainability goals and cultural identity. It serves as a model for India's urbanization challenges (an estimated 1 billion sq. ft. of construction) in the next decade, emphasizing the importance of responsible architecture in shaping the future of workspaces.
