" THE PORT OF CALL, A HERITAGE SPRAWL "
USN : 1JA18AT008 | BHAVESH MB | SJB SAP | SEM - 10 | ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN THESIS - 2023
"THE PORT OF CALL, A HERITAGE SPRAWL" Is an International Cruise Terminal, Connecting a Historic District to modern Transit Solutions. ABSTRACT "Bridging the Gap between the Cultural Heritage and Architecture" – is about connecting the heritage of the precinct and focusing on methods to achieve the intangible connection as a design center, by capturing the essence of the heritage district in the newer design which poses a major challenge. This is something to look into, to cater to the importance of the place and conserve the natural landscape and marine life of the region. The FOCUS is mainly on understanding the culture and heritage of Ballard Estate, Mumbai, and how the lost intangible value can be conserved while also respecting the tangible aspects. The FUNDAMENTAL is to identify/Define the method to connect the newer architecture to the historic precinct, by – (IDENTIFYING THE KEY ELEMENT OF CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EXISTING HISTORIC ELEMENTS TO CONTEMPORARY, MODERN DESIGN PRINCIPLES)
OBJECTIVE – • • • •
Identifying the key elements of the place – (the character of the existing site surroundings, the origins of the district, Tangible vs intangible essence) Reaching out to the roots of the location to re-create the lost essence, restoring its character in a modern approach. Surveying the quantities, characteristics, and features, of the existing site and surrounding context. Re-imagining the place in the form of a conceptual abstract thought.
SCOPE • • • •
The main aim leading to the re-developing and expansion of the existing main facility. Re-creating the existing cruise terminal capturing the essence of the place and creating a space connecting the people to the place. Scope for public interactive spaces, and functions that regenerate the existing life of the port area. Scope for waterfront development, linking the common masses into an inclusive space.
LIMITATIONS – • • • •
1.
Creating an extension of the port in consideration of the heritage laws and coastal regulations along the existing sire area. The large amounts of floating population and leading numbers in water traffic (docking spaces), lead to a challenge in managing the space. Space used in limited months of the year. To create spaces that engage its users throughout the year. Lack of modernized technology and services tackled by introducing automated systems and newer technology.
INTRODUCTION
USN : 1JA18AT008 | BHAVESH MB | SJBSAP | SEM-10 | ARCHITECTURAL THESIS - 2023
Ballard Estate designed by George Wittet, a commercial quarter in South Bombay, is a picturesque ode to London in India. It houses the neo-classical architecture of a bygone time with remnants of open spaces in the form of gated alleys leading to courtyards trapped in between buildings. These spaces are now mostly inaccessible and derelict in nature. With a cluster of buildings functioning as commercial or government buildings and office spaces.

Total Incident Radiation on the site – recorded in the peak seasons (March - June)
• Average daily radiation received from sunlight in Mumbai during the summer months of April and May is around 200-250 W/m². (Corresponds to approximately 2.4-3.0 kWh per square meter.) • Glazing: • The incident radiation data can be utilized to estimate the quantity and kind of glazing used in the building. For instance, high-performance glazing with a low solar heat gain coefficient may be necessary in regions of the terminal that receive a lot of direct sunlight in order to reduce solar heat gain and glare. Double glazed facades, • Polycarbonate as a façade material results to lesser heat gain for the entire terminal also diffusing the direct glare into waiting spaces.
• Sun hours affecting the massing which affects the southern point of the pier. • Through spaces that gradually shade the surrounding footprint along the setting sun. • Energy-efficient Lighting:
Control tower taking in maximum radiation casting a shadow on terminal structure
For areas where natural light is limited, use energyefficient lighting fixtures such as LED lights to reduce energy consumption.
Total sun hours on the site – recorded in the peak seasons (March - June)
Utilize daylighting techniques such as - light tubes, and angular Louvers to direct natural light into the building, reducing the need for artificial lighting. Mumbai's typical wind speed between 5 and 6 m/s in the spring and summer.
Utilizing the windward sides streamlined to soak in the north light to keep spaces illuminated throughout the day, in all the seasons of a year.
