Studio 2: Elements of Urban Design

Studio Brief


The studio is structured as an introduction to urban design representation and how it is used as a means of design thinking. The premise is that urban design is best understood and expressed through study and representation of the built urban environment. Hence the studio will focus on the study and representation of the key urban elements in cities and will be structured in multiple modules running through the semester, each culminating with an exhibition of the outcome. These modules will significantly focus on effectively capturing and communicating the spatial qualities of the urban built environment. Module 1 will involve perceiving and representation of the key elements of urban design. The premise is that building types, urban blocks, streets and public open spaces form the key elements that come together to make any functional urban space. The exercises in this module will enable student with methods to study each element and how they contribute to the scale, form, character and their relationship with the larger urban context. Module 2 will be the final exercise which will involve the application of the abilities and skills developed in the first module through preparation of a framework plan of a given urban area. This module will focus on preparing and representing site analysis, design strategies of open space, street network, urban blocks, building use and type strategy. The culmination of this module will be to prepare a set of effective communication representation drawings for the design and the analysis. The learning outcome of the studio are: to prepare design drawings to graphically communicate the key spatial characteristics of an existing urban built environment with focus on its elements and prepare a design for a given urban area in the form of a framework plan, design analysis and 3-dimentional illustration to represent the design.

1A. Building Types This exercise is designed to develop methods of effectively capturing various attributes of building types such as form and its relationship to ground. The exercise requires students to identify, categorise and represent the prevailing building types in our cities and develop their skills to draw building footprint and its three-dimensional form that abstract the architectural language along with its relations to the ground. Students are required to identify and represent 7 building types with 3 buildings each, one from Ahmedabad or any other city where it is possible for them to observe in person, one from India (outside Ahmedabad) and one example from outside of India. The students have drawn the three buildings of seven types and have explored various techniques to represent the form.

2.2.Office 2.Office Office Building Building Building (Multiple (Multiple (Multiple Ownership) Ownership) Ownership) The office building typology has a diverse array of scales, depending on the site dimensions as well as the urban context. In case of metropolitan cities like Washington, the setbacks are absent, the building facade directly encloses the street envelope, as compared to Indian examples that have a considerable front setback that leads to inactive street edge sometimes.

Civic Building typology has a variety in building use, hence the 4.4.4. Civic Civic Civic Buildings Buildings Buildings architectural built form is different in all the three cases due to difference in building program. But the scale and proportion as well as adjoining open space makes sure that the urban envelope around it forms an enclosure around the public open space.

The exercise requires the students to identify and represent the prevailing urban blocks in our cities and develop their skills to draw these blocks and its three-dimensional form that abstracts the character of the blocks. Students are required to identify and represent 2 urban blocks, one from the city of Ahmedabad, and one as Global example. The students have drawn these two blocks and have explored various techniques to represent their spatial character.

1C. Streets This exercise is designed to develop strategic understanding of various attributes regarding Streets and functional role of mobility as well as social role of being public space. The exercise requires the students to identify and represent ONE street with distinct characteristics and develop their skills to draw its three-dimensional form that abstracts the character of the street life. Students could select such a street from the Indian or Global context. The students have drawn the street and have explored various techniques to represent its character. Additionally, they have analysed the parameters that make the physical envelope of the street such as porosity, building ground floor use and access. 1D. Public Open Spaces This exercise is designed to develop strategic understanding of various attributes regarding Public Open spaces such as scale, location, access, spatial configuration and use. The exercise requires the students to identify and represent ONE important public space with distinct characteristics and develop their skills to draw its three-dimensional form that abstracts the character of the life in that public space. Students could select such a public open space from the Indian or Global context. The students have drawn the public space and have explored various techniques to represent its character.Additionally, they have analysed the parameters that make the physical envelope of the public space such as porosity, building ground floor use and access.

UD Master Plan : Reimagine Sector of Gandhinagar

2.


Module 2. Structure Plan & Representation This is the second module of the studio. Having dealt with various aspects of the key elements of the urban realm in module 1, this module attempts to develop the analytical, conceptual and representational abilities in preparing a Framework Plan for a given urban area. This module includes preparation of various design strategies such as open spaces strategy, street network and urban block strategies, building use and type strategy culminating into preparation of a Structure Plan for the given urban area. Students will be required to prepare illustrative structure plan to be represented through a single 3-dimensional drawing.This drawingsshall demonstrate the key characteristics of the plan and highlight the key design interventions with respect to streets, open spaces, urban blocks and building types. They will also prepare design analysis in the form of all the relevant layers to demonstrate the underlying principles employed in preparing the design.

Learnings

3.


The studio culminated in an exhibition at the end of every module. Hence the representative language of the urban design drawings was of paramount importance in coveying an abstract sensibility of the urban language of the design and its components. The first three modules delayered the process of analyzing an urban environment, helping to create a clarity regarding the environment, its scale and proportion. The second module was an invaluable exercise in design, analysis and derivation of a representation technique that captured the essence of the concept and ideas of the neighbourhood.
