Urban Pause

01Chennai Central is an area which is rich in economic health, social vibrance and cultural diversity. It ages past to an intense history and used to be a place for multiple communal activities. As continued industrialization happened, the area started to become dense and lost its value in certain aspects. We aim on vitalization and regeneration of the varied communal activities which this place is known for and create an urban thread where diverse activities co-exist in a more organized way. We want to restore the historical character of this space and provide the people a space where they can escape the urban isolated environment and relax thus not feeling like a trespasser when they use this space.

The aim is to create a destination for not only the transcient public but also the people who reside in the surroundings so as to escape their four walls and breathe. The varied existing activities can be channelized in an organized manner such that there’s a continuous flow and interconnected solution. We want to integrate landscape elements which serve as a screen to the noise and disturbance and also act as canopies for the pedestrians.

A group of 9 was set to find the unique solution for each site, due to immediate context, but also needed a harmony and rhythm in the language with respect to the city and the immediate context. Chennai central has a unique historical context, with respect to the layers of architectural and cultural identity. Our intent was mainly to be sensitive to the cultural and ecological surrounding, while at the same time creating the transit solutions intended to serve the community.

Vilnius, has a rich and unique historical context, with respect to the layers of architectural and cultural identity.

Majorityof our idea was centered around the emphasis of heritage as the urban idea. Our intent was mainly to be sensitive to the cul tural and ecological surrounding, while at the same time creating the transit solutions intended to serve the community.

The urban idea looks at continuing axes for ease of transit, creating a network of above ground and underground connections through out the site. The idea was to take the access paths through activ ity zones within our site in order to allow for safety and interaction within the transit route. As a result, the bicycle tracks cut across our proposed buildings connecting to different points in the Nau jininkai residential neighbourhood.

03MegaStreets/BusRouteRoads(BRR)

The Mega Streets project by the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) proposes to revamp the roads and streets in Chennai for a total area of 426 sq km by developing networks for cycling and walking, increased access to public transport, safe access to public spaces, carriageways, parking, wide footpaths and underground facilities.

To ensure a seamless commute and enhance the utility of the city’s arterial and major roads, the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has launched the city-wide Mega Streets Project in the city. The project is an extension of the Smart City Mission.

BRR is a pedestrian city revolution has taken place in the city of Chennai in the form of development of Roads and footpath. This Department is in charge of improvement and maintenance 471 Bus Route Roads in Chennai City comprising to a length of 387Km and pedestrian footpath in Bus Route Roads.

We worked in the on-site surveying/collection of data and designing process for a part of the project. coordinating with various government officials like TNEB, CMWSSB, SWD, site coordination with contractors were also a part of the process.

Thesis

Reimagining Urban Dumpyards

The thesis aims to generate a sustainable system of waste management within the design of public space, architecture and city. The goal of the thesis is to encourage the public and waste pickers to work together to reinforce each other through architecture. The thesis will seek to tightly link public activities and waste process through the merging of architecture and landscape to create public engagement and break the physical and mental ‘border’ between the public and waste.

Tambaram Solid Waste Ecosystem Case Study - SWM in Different cities

•

Inference

• Tambaram Municipality follows centralised management of dry waste, eventhough organic waste is decentralised it is not being executed properly. But this decentralisation has eventually upgraded the precious process that was being followed. Centralised mangement of dry waste can solve this problem of tonnes of wastes being dumped on landfills everyday.

of awareness among the public and the persons working in SWM is also a major threat to the increase in the large area of dumpyards and landfills all around. This also affects the lifestyle of the people living in and around this site. So, there must be an encouragement and inclusion of everyday public in the solid waste management system. This inclusion can be in the form of policies direct hand-in-hand involvement and can also incentvize monetarily to the local poor who help in the process..

• Another important drawback of the current system failing is that the informal and formal sector act independently, eventhough they both do the same work. Informal sector has a major impact on SWM when we look into the statistics they produce in the SWM

• Hence the process shall be decentralised, shall be community involved and community productive, and shall incluse the informal sector of people into the formal process of SWM

Proposed SWM Process

Site Analysis

Site selection criteria

A community driven locality at kannadapalayam creates a higher chance of creating awareness among the public about SWM

HIgh Possibilty of by chance interaction because of high traffic of pedestrians around the site creates greater chance of bringing people in and out

Presence of NH - 32 adjascent to the site makes it possible for a variety of people accessing the site. Visual access from the NH is an added advantage

Areas of exisiting dumpyards and Processing units, to ensure restoration and changing the image of the space

Sections of adjacent roads

The presence of Tambaram railway station within 3km radius creates a chance of interaction of people from different zones

This also creates an oppurtunity for startups involved in SWM to have an enterprise to educate and engage people

Existing zoning on site -

Dumps of dry waste being transferrd to Aapoor

The main aim of the design was to create a space where people are amde to experience and get to know what is the fate of the waste they produce. The Intent of this project is to understand the potentials of the waste produced in the city. Creation of public spaces that engages people with the process and create awareness. This can also help in educating the people and thereby, encouraging them to take responsibilities. Creating oppurtunities for the urban poor and incentivizing them to participate in the SWM process.

An attempt to create a prototype which changes the out-of-sight out-of-mind attitude of the public towards the waste they produce. This protoype when created into a network of SWM can lead to elimination of dumpyard and landfills and also create an Urban Recreation Centers where people can engage educate and relax at the same time.

The relationship between architecture, waste and city is inextricably linked but full of problems throughout India and Indian cities. Today, the production and consumption of goods and foods are the most extensive in human history. Waste generation continues to increase with the growth in consumption. The issue of waste then comes because of the unsustainability of the development model and waste management that harms environmental and social balances

Alturi Beach House

A beach house was supposed to be designed for eisure on a site near Kanathur, Chennai. The house has 4 bedrooms, a large shared living/dining space, and a party pool. The building’s main focal point is a triple-height space that keeps the surrounding spaces cool and ventilated. Given the spectacular bay views, the building has great west-facing views. The large shared living/dining room open into the semi-open space that eventually adds on in to the open space.

The house has different levels with number of bedrooms zoned in different levels. They are zoned in such a way that the living room is greatly visible from them. The design was done in all 2D and 3D, whcih resulted in a final design.

The bridge is 150m in length running NorthSouth which resulted in the amphitheatres to act as sun viewing decks in both directions.

Various aspects and historical incidents were explored and concluded to these triangular interpretations. These were then broken to creating nodal points in the bridge. which would make the experience memorable.

Different Nodal points were createdProviding different functions to each one of them.

1. Swings / Children play area

2. Kiosk- small eatery space 3. Seaters

4. Amphitheatre- Sun-view point.
