Philosophy
In the operational realities, if an attempt is made to highlight the
ideological postures leading to the directions of value as accepted in all
design-decisions resulting into tangible architectural ambient, the efforts
are also directed towards creating a preference in the public mind for
consumption of good design in their day to day living.
The immediate surroundings is source of construction materials; snow,
stone, straw, reed, wood or mud is the indigenous materials for
constructing an enclosure.
The relationship between human being and the building being
established, what develops and grows around becomes a measure for
man and his society.
There is a place for everything and everything has its place.
Spatial configuration in his design is an attempt to invoke a spirit that will
establish a symbiotic bond between the present and the past.
FORM
Realization of shelter form and its
content are in response to a given
place, climate, and time.
AESTHETICS
It is the aesthetics of openness
contrasted with enclosures that
highlights the different features
from the rest of the façade.

Conclusion :
Uttam C. Jain is one of the great contemporary architect of India . After studying his
projects we understand his philosophy that “ The relationship between human being and
the building being established, what develops and grows around becomes a measure
for man and his society” . His project shows lots of good architectural solutions and their
implications in Indian climate and behaviors. The use of arches , vaults , domes ,
squinched , pillars , cutouts in facades , courtyards , pergolas etc are the major
elements of his design. His designs are mere a excellent response the site and
surroundings. The Jodhpur university is one of his great works indeed . He has come up
with a excellent solutions of the climate and space behavior. The stepped roofs , the
sitting patterns , the use of stones , the use of cutouts for ventilation are his major
features in it . Use of local materials with a good mixtures of modern technology make
his building a completely excellent response .
In the operational realities, if an attempt is made to highlight the ideological postures
leading to the directions of value as accepted in all design-decisions resulting into
tangible architectural ambient, the efforts are also directed towards creating a
preference in the public mind for consumption of good design in their day to day living.
A doctor buries his mistake and an architect builds his mistake. There are individuals who
fail to understand what good architecture is all about. But U.C.Jain feels that,
architecture begins after you put up four walls and a roof and that is what he call the
non-manifest part. Architecture is like music. You can feel it but not see it. You have to
comprehend and appreciate architecture. Architecture provides us with our basic
biological needs but actually its realms go much further than that. His sense of creativity
stems from what he add from his mind. There are the 3 'P's of architecture, namely, the
personality of the architect, the product and the place. These have to be in synergy
