Evolution of Pune
“From Pensioners Paradise to the Detroit of the East”
~
Central Business District (CBD) along the river edge. Sangamwadi, Pune.
BACKGROUND M. Ach. - IV Semester, Thesis. Central Business District is an important part of a city. It is mostly the identity, the ‘postcard’ image of any city with the dominance of commercial spaces. The typical idea of Central Business District (CBD) is a high concentration of offices, high-end retail facilities, good infrastructural services, good connectivity through public transportation to other parts of the city and high-density development. These areas are highly active during the daytime the problem lies during post office working hours when the area becomes deserted and the place is prone to crime. It also brings with it peak time traffic congestion problem as the live and workspaces are segregated from each other. This hampers the growth of the CBD as a financial hub.
Pune - Cultural capital of Maharashtra
Pune - Queen of Deccan
Pune - Pensioners Paradise
Pune - Detroit of the East
A centrally located Central Business District at the confluence of Mula and Mutha river has been proposed in Pune. This proposal was made by Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) in the Draft Development Plan (2007-2027). Pune has also proposed and initiated riverfront development project on the river banks of Mula, Mutha, and MulaMutha rivers running through the PMC boundaries.

Pune city started from a small agriculture settlement called “Punnakka” which later grew to a small village called as Kasbe Pune or Punavadi.
British came and developed new areas to the north of the old city, on the opposite bank of the river. They established military cantonment, academic and research institutes like CoEP, etc.

Industrial development started in the 1950s and ‘60s in Hadapsar, Bhosari, Pimpri, and Parvati. Telco started operations in 1961, which gave boost to the automobile sector.
In 1998, work on the six-lane Mumbai-Pune expressway began; the expressway was completed in 2001.

It was made the administrative capital of Maratha Power by the Peshwas. Peshwas established various “Peths” which were the self-sufficient urban settlement units (sectors).
The Kirloskar Group was the first to bring industry to Pune by setting up Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd. in 1945 at Kirkee in Pune. The Pune Municipality was established in 1950.
In 1990, Pune began to attract foreign capital. The maximum growth came after the IT boom & two major IT parks- Hinjewadi and Magarpatta.
In 2008, the Commonwealth Youth Games took place in Pune, which encouraged additional development in the north-west region of the city.

Areas in Pune city are known for its IT hubs that have sprung up since past decade. These areas which are specially dedicated for IT hubs act in isolation from each other. The proposed CBD will act as a binder to the existing fragmented commercial development.

The urban fabric in Pune city can be identified as follows the old city area, the cantonment area and the townships. The built vs open ratio varies according to the area. Thus, the proposal of CBD will include balance of built and open spaces which is accessible by the city as a whole. IT/ITeS Establishments (Source MIDC 2010)

Design Concept - Opportunities and Constraints
1. The site boundaries are defined by the river and the cantonment area which is the constraint while designing a CBD.
2. The old city sits on the opposite side of the bank, responding to the presence of the old city is important.
3. The development on the site will act as a new face for the city which is seen from the surrounding already developed regions.
Design Concept - Strategies
Landuse
Road network
4. Developing important connections with the railway station and airport to allow easy movement of traffic.
5. The confluence is regarded as holy and it was the origin of the Pune city. This point should be celebrated.
6. CBD, Naik bet and riverfront project as an opportunity to develop a seamless continuous interwoven network of public spaces.
Landuse The river is surrounding the site, thus the periphery of the site becomes important. Mixed use development which includes commercial retails, offices and residential areas which can be benefited from the river and maintain the river are placed on the periphery. Where as the core forms the main commercial hub. Road network As the area is a locked site and no further expansion is possible so instead of going in for grid iron pattern a wholistic street pattern which can give an identity to the CBD is been used. A curved street one observes the faรงades of the building thus, a circular road is proposed Open space network The proposal of riverfront project it becomes the destination of a city level public space and a major asset of the city. Not limiting this green public space only on the river edge but extending the riverfront development and allowing it to flow into the site and connecting either edges of the riverfront through these green corridors.

Revitalizing a Living Heritage Khadia, Heritage City, Ahmedabad.
Precinct under study and its analysis 1. Heritage
2. Moblity
The existing Heritage walk of walled city of Ahmedabad does not constitute any of the ASI monumments present in the study area. There are several structures and spaces within the study area that provide identity and imageability to the site and hence are of local importance. Suchh structures and spaces needs to be conserved during redevelopment.
Improper utilization of available ROW with double layer parkings on both side even after road widening leads to traffic congestion in the old city. Walled city of Ahmedabad has been designed pedestrian friendly since inception. it has walkable ward sizes.
BACKGROUND
The project attempts to bridge the gap between conservation and modernization through guided transformation aiding in the revitalization of the historic city centre. Identifying the strengths and weakness of the precinct and provide solutions to develop Khadia II, into a livable and favorable neighbourhood. In turn bringing people back to Khadia as well as bringing new people in Khadia with increased opportunities. Peoples participation was an important tool considered while taking decisions of development.

M. Ach. - III Semester Historic city centres have always struggled to transform themselves to adjust to the modern standards of living. While on one hand Ahmedabad enjoys the title of the World Heritage City, on the contrary the heritage value has set on a declining path owing to the modern aspirations and needs, simultaneously people lack sense of belonging and responsibility for the heritage degenerating the social and economic structure of the historic city centre.

Asarwa, Ahmedabad.
BACKGROUND M. Ach. - I Semester The studio aimed at developing a keen reading of the Urban environment. The site for the studio study was located in complex 3.5km urban context from Asarwa to Daffnala in Ahmedabad. The aim was to understand the social, cultural and political dynamic that shape the structure of our constantly changing built environment. Various aspects of the site were mapped, documented. Further analysis of the precinct was carried out. The brief was to propose the potential transformation of the area which would encourage better living conditions. Based on the analysis, the houses of financially weaker section, that were living in Asarwa, women were making and selling artifacts at an individual level and supporting their family. Considering this condition a significant architectural intervention was programmed which could financially strengthen the area and create an identity for the working women. This project will act as an ‘OASIS’ for the troubled women.

The chaalis are demarcated in various ways either by compond walls, pathways or by fencing. The chaalis are formed based on common occupation, caste or a common place of origin.
Cluster plan of Madhusudhani Chali
The family sleeps around 10pm.
The lanes and small pockets of open spaces are used as spill out of the houses.
Problems observed in the precinct
1. Under employment
2. Under paid
3. Unskilled labour
4. Working on individual
5. Unorganized
6. Lack of space
7. No connection with market.
8. No money to invest
Proposal Observing the problems and needs of the precinct one concludes that there is a need of a Vocational center, where all the women from the chalis will be trained and provided job opportunities. This type of organisation will provide an identity to the working women and will encourage economical growth of the precinct and thus transform the area. The Vocational center is named as ‘Kala Gram’ - an area which enourages art and artists.
Space
Commoners
The plot area of 1800sqm belongs to Chandan ben charitable trust which will be taken on lease for developing Kalagram. It is located near the main road which makes it easily accesible and visible for any passers-by. The organisation formed by women will work in collaboration with SEWA, Self Employed Women’s Association, which will help and guide in building the Kalagram. This institution will thus be directly connected to the market.
Commoning
Urban Commoning is the method used for developing the organisation, it is where people help themselves for self upliftment. Parameters of Urban CommoningCommunity participation, Unwritten rules, No disparity, Inclusiveness, Common pooling of resources, Collective agreement of maintenance, Self-regulating the resources, Re-appropriation of spaces, Conflict resolution system, Community empowerment.

Proposed
Oasis The precint selected for study faces various sociol and economical problems, therefore the proposed project will act as a gateaway from these problems. It will act as an Oasis for the precint. A calm pleasant place in the middle of somewhere busy, and unpleasant is called as Oasis. Oasis can be interpreted as the binary opposite or inversion to the existing precinct. In this densely populated area with only 12% open space (lanes) an Oasis will be the place where there will be more of publicly accessible open space. Conceptual interpretation of Oasis
Responding to the existing tree
Place for cultural and social activities

Developing ideas from the precinct and selected site
Design Development - Strategies
1. Land on lease taken from Chandan ben Chatitable trust for developing Kala Gram with the help of ‘SEWA’
4. The profile of the building responds to the trees on the site.
2. The land acts as an extension of the community creating its own identity
5. To allow free flow of the residents of the precinct the building is raised on stilt. This will provide social interactive space for the precinct.
3. Proceding with the ‘Oasis’ concept and considering the built verses open the form is evolved. Main building would be having their longer sides facing N-S to avoid E-W sun.
6. Considering the randomness of the precinct and designing a systematic and predictable randomness for the project.

Asara Cancer Hospice

LIFE DEATH DIGNITY
Ghorpadi, Pune.
Fear
BACKGROUND B. Ach. - X Semester, Thesis. Dying can be a very difficult subject to discuss, as it is an unknown phenomena. Man naturally fears what he does not understand and cannot control. The “near death” experience is more devastating than the sudden death experience. Much of our response to death is avoidance, which is postponing the pain of addressing end of life issues until absolutely necessary, as in case of cancer patients.

A. Admin area and admin accommodation are placed near the entrance B. Out patients department is designed overlooking the canal C. Rooms are located around common landscaped garden. it also has its private open space D. The entrance is informally designed around an existing shady tree. it reduces the Fear of the visitors E. Interactive spaces are designed to help patients Accept the situation. F. Meditation and Counseling areas are placed where the canal water falls from a height giving soothing and Peaceful feeling

Terminally ill cancer patients need utmost care. Hospice is a concept of care that involves health professionals (doctors, nurses, counselors, and spiritual advisors) and volunteers who provide medical, psychological, and spiritual support to terminally ill patients and their loved ones. Hospice stresses quality of life— peace, comfort, and dignity. Hospice focuses on caring, not curing The process of dying and the act of death profoundly makes it difficult for an architect to design for that which will not grow, but vanish. Countless stories from healthcare professionals, patients and families recount the importance of the role that built environments can play in providing a desired quality of life to the dying individual. Thus designing a place which emotionally supports a person is important.

Design Considerations Site selection was an important aspect of the project as it would have direct effect on the patients. Thus site which was part of the city yet the city chaos was kept out of the campus was selected, This allows easy connection to other parts of the city and yet suitable living conditions for patients. The site was situated near empress garden, Pune, in natural surrounding. It had fresh water canal flowing adjoining the plot. The site had various types of existing trees.
Porous spaces overlooking open spaces
Landscaped area
Brick is used to get homely feeling
Cancer patients go through Fear, Acceptance and evenventually Peace emotional conditions in their final stage. thus design is evolved around these emotional sequential changes. A distinct attention is taken for materiality, daylight, scale, interior organization, not because they are suggested nor hoped for but required because of its importance to the experience of the place, and thus, to the life and death in a hospice.

Kasturba Gandhi Vasahat Slum Rehabilitation Aundh, Pune.
BACKGROUND B. Ach. - VII Semester The word “slum� is often used to describe informal settlements within cities that have inadequate housing and miserable living conditions. They are often overcrowded, with many people crammed into very small living spaces. Slums are not a new phenomenon. They have been a part of the history of almost all cities, particularly during the phase of urbanisation and industrialisation. Slums are generally the only type of settlement affordable and accessible to the poor in cities, where competition for land and profits is intense. The main reason for slum proliferation is rapid and non inclusive patterns of Urbanisation catalyzed by increasing rural migration to urban areas. Kasturba Gandhi Vasahat at Aundh admeasuring 2.3 Ha. was proposed to rehabilitate their slum to improve the hygiene, civic services and overall living conditions. Slum dwellers have a very close knit social structure. They are accommodative to each other and do not want to shift else where. Development is thus proposed which considers the social fabric of slum dwellers. 25sq.m., 35sq.m., 45sq.m. are three unit sizes that are proposed.
Hierarchy of open spaces are designed
Cluster is designed around the courtyard considering the wind direction. Courtyard acts as a space for daily interaction

Queen of the curves “There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?” - Zaha Hadid Ceramics is an art of clay. The properties of clay allow play with forms with minimum constrains. The concept for ceramic tiles was inspired from Zaha Hadid’s work, she is described as ‘Queen of the curve’. The tile made in the memory of the architect is moulded into a free flowing form. The three tiles are connected by liberating continuous curves. The tile is not merely seen as a two-dimensional object but its boundaries are pushed further and it is explored as a threedimensional space. The final result is an outcome of experimentations done to achieve bold, dramatic and expressive forms.
