Sona Institute of Technology was founded in 1993 and its campus has developed into an educational excellence center in the "steel city" of Salem, Tamil Nadu. Against the backdrop of this industrial city, the institute creates a vibrant, growth promoting, and innovative learning environment for students. The college initially accommodated one thousand students, but as it rapidly developed, it needed to be continuously expanded, so the overall plan continued to be adjusted to accommodate the current scale of over eight thousand students. This growth reflects the desire of the people in Salem and surrounding areas for upward mobility and diverse educational opportunities. Since the beginning of the project, IMK has been involved, and the recent addition project to this continuously growing center is the administrative and library buildings of Sona Institute of Technology. These two buildings are jointly designed as modern landmarks, symbolizing the college's commitment to progress. As the 'ladder to the future', these two buildings are a model of innovative architecture in Salem. The unique appearance of the library building has become the new face of Sona Institute of Technology. It is envisioned as a symbol of progress, with a stepped exterior, unique design, eye-catching materials, and a clock tower that overlooks the panoramic view of the city.
索纳科技学院成立于 1993 年，其校园已发展成为泰米尔纳德邦“钢城”萨勒姆的教育卓越中心，在这座工业城市的背景下，这个学院为学生营造了一个充满活力、促进成长与创新的学习环境。学院最初容纳了一千名学生，但随着其迅速发展，需要不断扩建，因此总体规划也持续调整，以适应如今已逾八千名学生的规模。这一增长反映了萨勒姆及周边地区人民对向上流动和多样化教育机会的渴望。自项目伊始，IMK 便参与其中，而这个持续增长的中心最近的增建项目是索纳科技学院的行政楼与图书馆楼。这两栋楼被共同设计为现代地标，象征着学院对进步的承诺。作为“通往未来的阶梯”，这两座建筑是萨勒姆建筑创新的典范。图书馆楼独特的外观已成为索纳科技学院的新面貌。它被构想为进步的象征，建筑采用阶梯式外观，设计独特，材料引人注目，并以一座钟楼收尾，可俯瞰城市全景。

总体规划图

The administrative building and library building are located near the main construction building (known as the heritage building due to being the first building built in 1993), with administrative offices, employment guidance departments, corporate floors, conference rooms, banquet halls, management dormitories, an auditorium that can accommodate one thousand people, and a state-of-the-art technology friendly library.
行政楼与图书馆楼位于主工程楼（因其是 1993 年建成的第一栋楼而广为人知，被称为遗产楼）附近，设有行政办公室、就业指导部门、企业楼层、会议室、宴会厅、管理层宿舍、一个可容纳一千人的礼堂以及一个最先进的科技友好型图书馆。

Entering the campus, visitors will first encounter the vast public space in front of the library building. This has become the latest gathering place and communication area for students, as the planning has indeed taken a step back to avoid obstructing the heritage building and its accessible view, which is a key link connecting all other buildings on campus. The rustic granite steps leading to the library connect the building to the rest of the campus and serve as an outdoor plaza. These steps take into account existing trees and develop around them. The trees have been preserved and highlighted as the entrance to the library.
走进校园，访客首先会遇到图书馆楼前的广阔公共空间。这里已成为学生最新的“聚集地”和交流区，因为规划确实“后退了一步”，以免遮挡遗产楼及其无障碍视野，该视野是连接校园内所有其他建筑的关键纽带。通往图书馆的质朴花岗岩台阶将建筑与校园其余部分相连，并充当户外广场。这些台阶考虑了现有的树木，并围绕它们发展。树木得到了保留，并突显了图书馆的入口。

After entering the library, visitors and students will see a well lit and well ventilated atrium with an indoor plaza, continuing the experience of a stepped public space. This indoor square creates a pleasant atmosphere for students, allowing them to communicate, interact, and read under natural light during the day. Due to the orientation of the building, the skylight in the atrium allows natural light to penetrate during the day, while louvers are installed to block heat. This helps improve indoor ventilation and air circulation, following the main design parameters of seamless integration of indoor experiences in each building on campus.
进入图书馆后，访客和学生会看到一个光线充足、通风良好的中庭，其中设有一个室内广场，延续了阶梯式公共空间体验。这个室内广场为学生创造了一个宜人的氛围，让他们可以在白天自然光下交流、互动和阅读。由于建筑的朝向，中庭的天窗可以让自然光在白天穿透进来，同时设有百叶窗以阻挡热气。这有助于改善室内的通风和空气循环，遵循校园内每栋建筑室内体验无缝融合的主要设计参数。

Although libraries have always been regarded as the primary source of knowledge in educational campuses, in today's rapidly developing world of technology, inviting students into physical libraries to interact with books may seem daunting. The college addresses this challenge by integrating multiple interactive spaces throughout the building, which facilitate seamless connections between formal and informal spaces, encouraging students to explore and easily access books and other resources. There is also a dedicated area for e-readers, e-books, and virtual interface methods to access available resources.
虽然图书馆一直被视为教育校园中的主要知识来源，但在当今技术快速发展的世界里，邀请学生进入实体图书馆与书籍互动可能显得令人畏惧。学院通过在整个建筑中融入多个互动空间来应对这一挑战，这些空间促进了正式与非正式空间之间的无缝连接，鼓励学生探索和轻松获取书籍和其他资源。还有一个专门用于电子阅读器、电子书和虚拟接口方法的区域来访问可用资源。

The design of Sona Library breaks the monotony of traditional libraries, goes beyond traditional learning environments, and encourages teamwork and innovation. Here, interaction and dialogue nurture new ideas and cultivate a strong sense of community among students. The Sona Library has created a nurturing environment, sowing the seeds of future breakthroughs through collective exploration and shared learning experiences.
索纳图书馆的设计打破了传统图书馆的单调，超越了传统的学习环境，鼓励团队合作和创新。在这里，互动和对话孕育出新想法，在学生中培养了强烈的社区意识。索纳图书馆创造了一个培育环境，通过集体探索和共享学习体验播下了未来突破的种子。

The function of the library is not limited to reading space, but truly adopts a student-centered approach. A auditorium that can accommodate one thousand people is located below the entrance steps of the library. Although not initially planned in this way, this design was later added to meet the evolving needs of the college. In addition to the auditorium, there is also an open-air theater and a caf é for students to relax, unwind, and communicate.
图书馆的功能不仅限于阅读空间，而且真正采用了以学生为中心的方法。一个可容纳一千人的礼堂位于图书馆入口台阶下方。虽然最初并未如此规划，但后来为了满足学院不断发展的需求，这一设计被添加进来。除了礼堂外，还有一个露天剧场和一家咖啡馆，供学生放松、休闲和交流。

These two buildings are defined by four prominent horizontal bands, each with different volumes and materials, creating the illusion of multiple buildings. The use of scale and materials creates a hierarchical structure, with each layer distinguished by different materials such as metal mesh, masonry boxes, double glass hollow sliding windows, and double glass hollow structural glass. This showcases the concept of a 'staircase to the future', emphasizing a forward thinking design philosophy that integrates different materials, symbolizing the progress and evolution of architectural principles.
这两栋楼都由 4 条突出的水平带定义，其体量和材料各不相同，营造出多栋建筑的错觉。尺度和材料的运用创造了一种层次结构，每一层都使用不同的材料（如金属网、砌体箱、双玻中空滑动窗和双玻中空结构玻璃）进行区分。这展示了“通往未来的阶梯”的概念，强调了一种前瞻性的设计理念，将不同材料融为一体，象征着建筑原理的进步和演变。

The university center is essentially an administrative building connected to the library, with 6-7 conference rooms that can accommodate 8-40 people, a banquet hall that can accommodate 50 people, and two levels of management dormitories. It also has an employment guidance department office and a corporate floor and management room. This campus has an 8-story tower, with a board meeting room on the top floor that overlooks the panoramic view of the city. This tower is also the tallest landmark in Salem, standing out in the urban landscape and further enhancing the college's identity as a landmark.
大学中心，本质上是行政楼，与图书馆相连，设有 6-7 间可容纳 8-40 人的会议室、一间可容纳 50 人的宴会厅以及两层管理层宿舍。它还设有就业指导部门办公室和企业楼层与管理室。这座校园内高达 8 层的塔楼，顶层设有一间董事会会议室，可俯瞰城市全景。这座塔楼也是萨勒姆最高的地标，在城市景观中引人注目，进一步提升了学院作为地标的身份。

立面图

The core design principles of all buildings on the Sona Institute of Technology campus are the same - driven by fundamental principles of functionality and sustainability, ensuring better lighting, ventilation, flow, and indoor outdoor connectivity. However, each building still has a unique identity and characteristics that evolve with the needs of the college. Although they all belong to the same whole, they remain faithful to the era in which they were built. The administrative and library buildings of Sona Institute of Technology complement the main administrative building (heritage building), integrating modern architectural elements and seamlessly blending with the campus. The campus and each building, including recent additions, have achieved a balance between aesthetic appeal and functional efficiency, reflecting the college's modern educational philosophy and community integration.
索纳科技学院校园内所有建筑的核心设计原则相同 —— 以功能和可持续性的基本原则为驱动，确保更好的照明、通风、流动以及室内与室外的联系。然而，每栋楼仍然具有独特的身份和特征，这些特征随着学院需求的演变而发展。虽然它们都属于同一个整体，但仍忠于它们建造的时代。索纳科技学院的行政与图书馆楼与主行政楼（遗产楼）相辅相成，融合了现代建筑元素，与校园融为一体。校园和包括最近增建项目在内的每栋楼都在美学吸引力和功能效率之间取得了平衡，体现了学院现代的教育理念和社区融合。
