Project “Swasthya Sthal – A Campus Dispensary for MNIT Jaipur” is a comprehensively developed concept for a campus healthcare facility that thoughtfully responds to the growing health needs of the academic community. The author demonstrates a strong sense of functional, social, and climatic awareness, and the proposed solutions align with contemporary standards in healthcare architecture.
Particularly commendable is the clear identification of the target user group – students, faculty, and technical staff of MNIT – which is reflected in a well-designed functional and spatial program. The proposed layout is coherent, logical, and operationally efficient, including all essential zones such as OPD rooms, pharmacy, diagnostics, administrative spaces, and technical facilities. The project also adheres to universal design principles, offering solutions that ensure full accessibility for people with diverse needs.
The climate-responsive and environmentally conscious strategies, such as cross-ventilation, natural daylighting, and the use of low-maintenance, sustainable materials, are especially noteworthy. The inclusion of future scalability demonstrates a flexible and forward-looking design approach. Architecturally, the building form is composed in a calm and rational manner, with clear segmentation and coherent elevations – though the project could benefit from deeper contextual anchoring, perhaps through the use of local materials or architectural references inspired by the heritage of Jaipur.
One area with potential for further development is the design of exterior spaces – introducing a buffer zone at the entrance, rest areas for patients and staff, and elements of therapeutic landscaping would enrich the user experience. Additionally, further detailing of technical systems, such as plumbing and water management strategies, would enhance the project's depth.

At this stage, the project is conceptually and functionally strong; however, there is still room to refine the architectural expression. While the drawings are accurate, they could benefit from improved clarity and visual expression – the use of digital visualization tools could help communicate the spatial atmosphere, materials, and architectural qualities more effectively. At the same time, the use of traditional hand-drawing techniques is praiseworthy and reflects a solid design foundation and understanding of architectural form. It is nevertheless recommended to continue improving the aesthetic quality, precision, and graphic appeal of the drawings.
Regarding the physical model, there is also room to enhance its aesthetic execution. Paying greater attention to detail, craftsmanship, and material selection could significantly elevate its communicative strength. A well-made model can serve as a powerful design tool when executed with care and sensitivity.
In summary, this is a thoughtful, well-considered, and empathetic architectural proposal that can successfully serve as a foundation for further development or presentation in a broader, perhaps even competitive, context.
