Apparatus of amusement A retail for post- consumption Design Dissertation: Semester 10 Site: Prime Mall, Irla Guide: Neha Panchal, Yagnik Bhatija The enquiry for ‘Apparatus of amusement, a retail for post consumption’ started by understanding of the age of Anthropocene and the impact that humans have created on the surroundings through the commodified world we live in. The consumerist strategies lead to a numb state of mindless consumption at epitome of consumerist typology of ‘shopping mall’. These extravagances lead to the collective notion of excesses termed as ‘waste’. The project challenges to reverse the conventional notion of retail in a hypermediated urban setting of Irla in Mumbai, by using the post-consumption objects in our ‘buy and discard’ society to provide radical solutions to move towards ‘circularity’

consumerist mechanism of a shopping mall

The project proposes at three scales Repurpose decentralized system which is alternative to the existing waste management system, Repurposing of the Prime mall and Irla street project intervention. The journey for the role-players starts as a part of the assembly line, where you choose a path based on the anchors of the retail for post-consumption, plastic households, garments fashion and smartphones electronics. The role-players go through these individual processes to repurpose. The programmatic components include the wall of labour as protagonist, the apparatuses, the event space, the hall of experiments, labyrinth consumer’s playground

Formal excess network

Prime Mall, Irla

Informal excess network

1. REMOVE the non functional roofing

4. REMOVE the non functional circulation

7. ADD rcc grid

2. REMOVE the non functional envelope

5. REMOVE the non functional RCC

8. EXPLODE the facade of the mall

3. REMOVE the non functional partitions

6. RETAIN the existing structure

9. INTERSECT the walls of the facade

programme components

1. pick a path per anchor

5. apparatus of repurpose

The space is designed for the roleplayers to a part of the assembly line, where you choose a path based on the anchors of the retail for post-consumption, plastic households, garments fashion and smartphones electronics

The apparatus are devices which have simple machines and mechanisms where a process takes place. A roleplayer takes part in these apparatus to perform a task which helps in repurposing.

2. wall of labour

6. event space

The wall is the protagonist of the space. The role of element of facade as a mediated face is challenged by inserting it as a mediator between the indoors and the outdoors, while holding programmatic spaces and a visual anchor.

The space is designed for the role-players reactions and actions recorded throughout the day, the leaderboards displaying the roleplayer with the most points. Also works as a gathering place where workshops, events and discussions takes place.

3. hall of experiments

7. the irla street project

The space is designed at the end of the journey where the paths converge and the space is rented for exhibitions, events to spread awareness about newer developments in the field of repurposing.

The street project holds street apparatus as well as the existing street hawkers trying to enhance the retail rhizomatic street of Natyakar Gadkari marg. The upcoming metro station will increase the pedestrian footfall.

4. labyrinth consumers’ playground

8. repurpose mobile community

The place is free from the hyper real space which the apparatus of amusement offers, here the person is a labyrinth landscape as a calmer sensescape which is away from the vibrant street.

The recycling on wheels is an initiative where the collection and processes are concised in the size of a truck which roams around the neighbourhood and connects the nodes of these larger typologies.

Variegated heterotopias Towards heterogenous relations through built form Architectural Design: Semester 9 Site: Saat Rasta, Mumbai Collaborator: Serah Yatin The project tries to negotiate the current model for redevelopment in the context of Saat Rasta, Mumbai within the framework of discourse of Parametricism, to facilitate the social complexities of the site, where the current redevelopment model which lacks imagination projecting to a scenario where buildings would become islands and streets as thoroughfare, diminishing the heterogeneous character of the place.

decoding saat rasta junction

The mixed use development project moves away from a typical mixed used based on segregation and focuses on spaces for congregation. The project is an expression of these parameters of culture, people, places and activities, where these newer productive engagements, public infiltration by elevating them and breaking away from the conventional stereotype development striving to achieve heterogenity.

understanding the discourse of parametricism

1. strategically segregating the public ingress into the central plaza considering vehicular and pedestrian movement

4. organising the functions by assigning the floor plates

2. placement of blocks responding to introvert courtyard

5. modulating the floor plates for new relations between functions

3. adding character to the massing

Merging Landscapes A community performing arts center Inspirelli awards competition Site: Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso Collaborators: Serah Yatin, Sushant Nikharge Merging landscapes envisions a sustainable rehabilitation of Theatre Populaire Idea(l) in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The development of the amphitheater acts as an urban catalyst which provides spaces to facilitate art forms of the region, a common place for community gatherings, for women to share their everyday life and to organise festivals. Centrally designed around the idea of ‘courts within courts’, which reinterprets the vernacular of Africa and the blocks are planned around the existing trees on site.

The site acts as backdrop for amphitheater where you gradually choreograph towards the amphitheater, which merges with the landscape blurring the boundaries of a rigid space. The organisation of spaces shades the various blocks through roof overhangs and positioning of the blocks provides mutual shading. It balances the traditional approaches with global methodologies pushing the extents of local construction and community participation as a part of the entire process.

context plan

1. rehabilitation of amphitheater raising the site gradually

2. Segregation of functions around ‘courts within courts’

3. Maneuvering the levels to build around existing trees

4. Articulation of functions according to the amphitheater

The use of traditional construction materials such as mud, cement, gravel, local stone and eucalyptus wood are used in combinations to create innovate methods which diversifies the arena of using local materials in an efficient way to match the global standards.

Louis I Kahn trophy Documentation of Kamru Deshang NASA competition 2016-17 Site: Kamru Deshang, Himachal Pradesh Team: Team LIK

L.I.K trophy in NASA promotes the unknown heritage of India through physical documentation by measured drawings and the thorough understanding of the place. Kamru Deshang in Himachal Pradesh was chosen as the site in the brief which directed towards traditional systems and indigenous settlements.

The houses in the Brahmin cluster demonstrates simple and elementary construction in mud. The simplicity is further down out in the nominal ornamentation observed on the door frames, shutters with the use of crude natural timber sections. This indicates their socio- economic standing and depicts the rootedness of their culture.

Kamru Deshang is located in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. Kamru is located within the Sangla valley amongst the Kinnaur Kailash Range. Established in the year 412 A.D, it was the first settlement within the Kinnaur region. The traditional knowledge systems here have been in use since the initiation which evolved in accordance with various cultural influences that the region has seen over the years.

The fort complex consists of the oldest buildings in the village, some constructed before the 6th century. It bears architectural relics and graving that have survived the test of time. Geographically, the fort is situated on the peak of the mountain, indicating its importance and past grandeur of the Royal Family. Eventually, the early Rajput settlements formed circumscribing the Fort Complex.

Phyang village spans over five hundred and fifty hectares of land. It is located around 20kms from Leh in Ladakh. The vernacular architecture of the houses were studied there along with the physical documentation. The scope of study included the climatic aspects, the construction methodology and detailing, socio- cultural dynamics, occupation and lifestyle, oral and documented history, social aspirations of the community.

dry composting toilets Traditional Ladakhi-style dry composting toilets are those that operate without flush water. The user squats over a drop hole, through which the excreta reaches the composting chambers. A shovel full of earth has to be put after every contribution. Additives like wood shavings, sawdust, pieces of waste paper, etc are used along with soil to improve the process of decomposition and reduce insect access.

mud brick testing Under architects Sureel and Faiza, an innovative concept of pre-cast mud brick buildings, new bricks are made using locally available materials such as clay, sand, earth and straw on experimental basis. Dry and wet thorn are used as a reinforcing constituents. Field tests were then conducted by the solar students. A brick was loaded to examine its structure. It should be homogeneous, compact & free from any defects like holes, lumps etc.

walling systems- adobe bricks Traditional Ladakhi house walls are made up of mud bricks called Pagbu. The thick earth walls are not just structural but also have an essential function as a heat bank. They absorb the excess solar heat during the day and release it to the rooms at night. These are made from local mud casted in wooden moulds and dried under the sun.

solar cooker The two concentrating reflector type solar cookers cook much of SECMOL’s food with the sun’s heat. The large parabolic reflector is made of common mirrors, which focus the rays of the sun to a secondary reflector, which is under the vessels in kitchen. This design gives as much heat as a large gas burner, and saves a lot of money while preserving the environment. There are some solar ovens, which is an iron box installed in the wall, but has a comparatively low efficiency.

underground granary SECMOL possesses a unique and traditonal storage system to protect its grains from infestation and moisture. Granary is made up of mud bricks with rear side earth bermed. The grains are stored in tall cylindrical tin holders which are adjacent to each other and are placed on a 300mm high plinth . The roof of the granary was accessible with small openings to pour grains into the containers for storage.

trombe wall A typical Trombe wall consists of a thick masonry wall in a heat-absorbing colour faced with layer of glass placed 2-15 VVcm away to create a small air cavity. Heat from the sunlight passing through the glass is absorbed by the wall, and conducted slowly inward through the masonry. The glass prevents the escape of radiant heat from the warm surface and heat is trapped between the walls.

attached green house Greenhouses were attached to the south side of the buildings to collect maximum heat in winter. The UV stabilised plastic regulates the climatic conditions within for plants to grow. The interior is exposed to sunlight and consequently becomes warmer.

solar gain A passive solar system relying on south-facing glazed windows to bring solar energy directly into the space. Sunlight is absorbed by materials of thermal mass (the floor and the walls), which warm up, store some heat, and re-radiate into the room.

Hinge house A family home in Induri Area : 1700 sq.ft Site: Induri, Talegaon Collaborators: Karan Malkan, Sthapati construction The ground floor plan is derived from the client brief and a integrated living-diningpooja space. The design follows standard architectural and vaastu guidelines. A sunken living and open dining connected with kitchen gets light from the temple court. The first floor plan is derived with a master bedroom and a opening overlooking the living space with a open terrace.

The entrance to the house is from the east which is considered best as per vaastu. The house consists of a pooja space which uses laterite as a contrast with the materiality of the house. The design consists of a jaali staircase block, the bedroom recessed windows and a calm white plaster finish contrasting with the laterite block. The footprint of the house being small, the spaces are designed efficiently with light ventilation and tactile materials.

The dining space is connected to the courtyard, living and the staircase creating openness with light and airy interiors. The bedroom space with the recessed windows and the storage shelfs, the work desk with a white and grey palette.

Ingawale weekend home A twin weekend home Area: 2000 sq.ft Site: Arohi, Wadeshwar Collaborators: Karan Malkan, Sthapati construction The site plan is meticulously derived from the client brief and the expansive views of the lake, the privacy of individual villas are on the end walls whereas the shared courtyard is between the two houses. The floor plan is derived from a open floor living and dining space, along with the bedroom and the kitchen tucked in either sides. The orientation is maintained to get a expansive view of the lake and the sequence of courts from private to shared.

The entrance to the house uses laterite wall as an anchor to the house with a glimpse of the butterfly roof. The design consists of a verandah which has a suspended roof, the open living and dining areas, the kitchen and bedroom with a calm white plaster finish, all the openings face the expansive views of the lake. The low heighted verandah which the suspended from the roof, the space becomes a seemless transition from the house towards the lake where the verandah is a spillover private outdoor space.
