Drawings, National Institute of Immunology (1983–1990), New Delhi, India 印度新德里國立免疫學研究所（1983至1990年）繪圖

Raj Rewal began work on India’s National Institute of Immunology, on the campus of Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, in 1983. Realised in two phases, the design includes academic, research, and residential buildings on a stepped, rocky site overlooking the National Park.

Like Rewal’s earlier Asian Games Village, the National Institute of Immunology is made up of clusters of low-rise structures that define landscaped open spaces and systems of pathways. Apartment buildings for researchers, staff, and students line the site’s north, east, and south edges. Surrounded by green spaces, these residences each have their own smaller internal courtyards. To the west, a seminar and cafeteria building with an occupiable roof links the housing with a larger research centre, whose four corners branch off into terraced extensions. Despite their differing shapes, the buildings share the same material treatment: a red sandstone aggregate marks each floor level, while a yellowish-beige aggregate infills the remaining surfaces.

Coupled with this visual consistency, the National Institute of Immunology’s modular logic of accumulation unifies the complex’s programmes while accommodating a difficult site and evolving institutional needs. At the same time, the design’s angular axes and shifts in scale give it a density and richness that recall traditional Indian urban configurations.

This series contains a layout plan, a section, and two perspective drawings of the complex.
