Site Study and Program Derivation of Proposed Interpretation Centre at Ramgarh crater, Rajasthan, INDIA
interpretation centre at ramgarh crater baran, rajasthan
The principle objective of the program is to achieve protection, conservation of Ramgarh crater’s ecosystem. For this, to reduce the negative impacts of various activities and interventions taking place at present, it is necessary to introduce new elements which would further augment the positive values of the Crater’s ecosystem. The facilities, site and location have been chosen in such a manner that they would have a minimal environmental impact on the crater’s ecosystem.

The conservation strategy comprises of two parts: 1. Visitor Management Plan 2. Overall Conservation Plan

Of this plans, here the focus is on the Visitor management plan. However it is necessary to state that, the visitor management plan essentially forms a component of the overall conservation plan and hence is no way a tourism promotion plan. In this context, the visitor management plan is treated as a instrument for achieving the objectives of the overall conservation plan.

The site is selected such a way to miximisly use the view of the crater with its architectural and environmental features, without disturbing the existing ecosystem. Connectivity of the features of the crater and the adjoining village(inhabitants) is stratagically planned for the easy linkage and the adoptation of the intervention at the crater by the users. The placement of the program and the orientation of the structure is planned such a way to achieve the maximum energy form nature and merge with the topography of existence creating the camouflage effect in the crater.

ORIGIN OF SPACE
CONNECTION WITH VEGETATION
The site having the rich topography of the Aravali range of Mountains, is riched with minerals and sandstone deposits. The geography of the place is fascinating and encouraging the researcher’s activity.
Land rich with minerals, started occupying with vegetations and also become habitat for animals. The site with rare species of flora and fauna is differential with the surrounding context, thus making its own impression.
METEORITE EVENT Around 650 million years ago, the large stone from the universe strike on the earth in India at specific RAMGARH. This meteorite event created the large crater of 4.4 km diameter.
CHANGING GEOLOGY
EVIDENCE OF LIFE WATER
After the long time of meteorite impact, the geological significance of the site changed gradually. With the deposits of rare minerals and the disturbance in the existing stratas of the place; the geological importance of the site increases.
The impact created the water body in the crater making presence of water in Rajasthan. The connection between the water and the human life exited, which slowly giving life to the crater site. The raised importance of the water in the area, started settlement at the sacred land.

USER FLOW
PLANNING VISION
The user flow is segreated in hierarical order of core, support and peripherical function inorder to maximise the importance of the musuem function. Catering the different visitor flow the circulation is planned to cater each’s need from the visit.
Planning of the spaces are more oriented towards the feeling and experience of the space and light. The movement of the visitors are importantly circulated inside and outside of the space in a rhythamic way.

Urban & Slum Settlement Study of Activities with Demographic data at PADRA, Gujarat, INDIA
slum upliftment centre padra, vadodara
Urban studio was based on Padra town near Vadodara which was thoroughly studied, analysed and documented at urban scale; which led us to understand the sustainability parameters of a town - Social, Economical and Environmetal. After full comprehension of the town mass, density, community distribution, housing typologies, etc. through physical model of the town at class level; an individual approach for the future needs for the town was addressed after discussions for various issues. Studying Slum Settlement and their engaged activities, finally, slum upliftment project was felt as a need-of-time for the town, for which further study was justified along with the site selection. The needs helped to derive a final program for the slum community, the service providers for Padra residents. Finally, a sustainable and a cheap economic solution-oriented design was derived for the same. SLUM UPLIFTMENT CENTRE - Program • The project serves 3 identified slum settlement of Padra : 1.

Initially the building is design to serve commercial purpose. Trading and wholesale dealer of plastic net mostly used in the industrial purpose. Due to the common walls on the three sides of the building, the remaining side is open up to provide the doors to achieve the maximum light and ventilation. On the ground floor, front room acts as the customer interface and gesture is inviting as the space opens directly on the street. Second room acts as the storage for the products which are regularly saleable. Later on shelves were added to use the volume of the space as the storage. Last room on the ground floor has a pantry and the storage space. Loft is created to support the commercial activity happening in the building and acts as the storage for the materials and products. On the first floor, first room acts as the sorting space due to adequate availability of natural light as it opens on the street. And the remaining second and third room is used for the storage purpose of the fabrics and nets which are mainly used for export.

Considering the timeline, the building is load bearing with wall of tradition patta bricks of size 200 x 80 x40 mm. Timber beams are used as the spanning element for the maximum spanning of 3.5 m. Wooden logs placed perpendicular on the beam to support 25 mm thick wooden planks. The 320 mm thick slab has layers of IPS finish on the top, beneath that a layer of patta bricks with the sole as the base.

ALTERNATIVE BUILDING MATERIAL
The world is heading towards the technology advancement in the building industry along with new material inventions. But, in the process; we have been forgetting about the depletion of natural resources. And so sustainable and alternative construction materials and techniques need to be found and harnessed for future; preferably using the by-products and the waste generated by the industries and the construction sites. Focusing on the concerns regarding sustainability, easy availability, cost-effectiveness of the building material; thus identifying the alternative materials like Paper Tube, Earth Bag, Plastic Bottles, Adobe Bricks, their exploration and implementation in a building as elements, components or an overall form/structure as a whole is the need to present scenerio. Thus the experiments were carried out for understanding of the alternative materials with the easy and adaptive construction techniques for the cost-effectiveness and the quick buildability of the structure without affecting the nature.
Physical Scaled Model Making
Physical Scaled Model of Digvijay Shawls, Amritsar for the study traditional construction techniques with the local materials. It also helps in exploration of Facade elements in timber and local patta bricks.
