Infrastructure
Architecture of JNIBF: Charles Correa designed JNIBF keeping in view the training requirements of senior managers from banks in India and abroad. The pattern and layout of the building has been designed to encourage informal interaction and discussion among the participants and faculty members. The architecture is evidence to the complex system of interdependent spaces, organized around a series of landscaped courtyards, so as to provide the humidified micro-climate necessary in the hot-dry climate of Hyderabad. The outside walls of the complex are white, with the warm earth colours and the landscaped courtyards glowing from within.
The sequence of courtyards connects the Auditorium to the Academicia and the Faculty Square that form the public zone. Along a cross axis, another sequence leads one up through the gently ascending levels of the sloping site, past the lounges, the Reception and the computer lab to the residential rooms, which are laid out around smaller courtyards that form the private zone. From the residential rooms out towards the external landscape, there is an analogous pattern of layering: each room has a small sit-out porch, which in turn relates to the cluster of other such porches, all located on terrace gardens, from where one can go out into the surrounding landscape.
In the centre of the entire complex is the kund (named as Narmada square), whose stone steps echo the boulder-strewn landscape of Hyderabad, creating a focus in the centre of the complex – an ideal place for casual conversations, as also for concerts and more formal occasions.
Charles Correa (1930 – 2015) Charles Correa, an Indian Architect of international repute, Urban planner and academician, and also known as India’s world architect has designed JNIBF in the year 1986 and the project was completed in 1991. His principle concept in the design of this institute was to stimulate informal interaction between the students and faculty by the architecture itself. An influential and inspiring architect, he is credited for his unique style of interpreting traditional Indian architectural elements in the creation of modern architecture in post independence India. His architecture was sensitive towards use of traditional method and materials, the needs of the urban poor and transformation of Indian cities. He was awarded the Padma Shri in 1972, and the second highest civilian honour, the Padma Vibhushan in 2006. He received Royal Gold Medal for architecture, by the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1984 and the Aga Khan Award in 1998.
