The V-columns have been visualised by the architect to make sure that there is no compromise in the visibility of terminals . The V column shape tapers from 770 mm diameter at ends to 1067 mm diameter at mid height and the height to underside of roof trusses varies which is approximately 16m above arrivals level at the back of the trusses rising to approximately 30m above arrivals level at the V-column supports on the landside of the terminal. The truss heights are constant across the length of the terminal on the airside and are variable in height on the landside.

enter the profession? How important is it, for a young architect who enters the professional life, to have a holistic understanding of the profession? With the present curriculum in architectural education, do you think it is possible? CS: I am afraid that we need to redefine our methodology of teaching architecture. We still follow the century-old bible. In today’s context of single window delivery, the architectural education also needs to be redefined so as to inculcate the discipline of finance as well as construction and project management along with physical and environmental aspects of the built form. We also need to give proper attention to various other elements of applied architecture other than the design studio wherein we would be able to generate leadership qualities. This could be achieved if the education is provided wherein the architect is fully geared on information and knowledge for providing professional and timely delivery. During my teaching at various schools of architecture such as the SPA, New Delhi, Vastu Kala Academy (VKA) and department of architecture at Jamia Millia Islamia, I observed that the students somehow neglect the education of various elements of applied architecture. Perhaps due to a stereotyped curriculum and methodology which is only limited to copy-paste of a few age-old books like Building Construction of Macay, Mitchel and Building Materials books by Prof Deshpandey, etc. COA must look into this aspect very sensitively and seriously so that we develop various books/literature and some of the very important subjects of architecture and identify and nominate some authors, who have an inclination towards writing. We have more than 400-odd schools of architecture, with an intake of more than 25,000 per year. Therefore, we need to have a well-disciplined and informed faculty with an understanding of minimum architectural education standards. To update and upgrade the faculty, short-term refresher courses

should be introduced by the IIA and the CoA. To avoid disparity in education in various schools of architecture, the holistic understanding of the profession for a young architect is absolutely necessary and essential. Therefore, the curriculum of architectural education needs to be redefined in today’s global context. VS: What has been the turning point in your professional career and how has your architectural journey been since then? CS: As a professional, it has always been a roller coaster ride, but what drives me the most is how successfully one crosses through the high tides in one’s professional career. Architect being the team leader, mostly faces a lot of professional issues in any project, which he/she designs and for the successful execution of any project one comes across a lot of challenges and hurdles, which need to be addressed holistically with proper professional understanding. In terms of scale and practice of projects, the turning point has been through winning of national and global competitions for the various airports, corporate and institutional works. The practice also accelerated and expanded manifold by my son Gurpreet’s return from the US, after his higher studies to join the practice here in India. VS: Would you recount the hurdles and challenges you faced when tackling highly complex projects of international significance such as the Chennai Airport, and dealing with international consultants? How have you been able to change people’s perceptions when they deal with smaller architectural firms handling large complex projects? CS: We were fortunate enough to win over eight consecutive national/global architectural design competitions including the global competition for Chennai Airport. Our global associates were also pleasantly surprised to see our professional work culture through a small team of architects and keeping in view global professional standards. With our ability to perform and

also our appropriate and adequate understanding of various issues and discipline, we convinced most of our colleagues and consultants that the smaller architectural firms could handle large projects. Smaller architectural firms can professionally deliver their services for large projects provided they are fully equipped with a good team of consultants and a professional approach and ability to catch up with the global matrix of deliverables. Chennai airport has been a very exciting and challenging experience for all of us having a dual team of consultants abroad as well as in India. The commonality of professional understanding and reasoning enabled us to comfortably transfer the technology and new global innovations to be constructed locally in India. We also had very successfully gone through the bureaucratic challenges and approval through the various ministries, planning commission, etc. Being a government project, we were also very conscious in creating proper tender documents, condition of contracts, detailed specification, good for construction drawings, so that it adheres to the norms as laid by the central vigilance, central audits as well as the CPWD norms. All the diversified work, approval and working in the large government set-up was a big challenge which was handled by us very professionally and we could probably say that we have been able to complete a mega project of Rs 2015 crores in a period of 40 months, having a covered area of more than two million sq ft. Due to many innovations and induction of many new elements in Chennai Airport, we had to innovate new methodologies of erection and construction which helped us in timely and smooth finishing of the project. As all of us are also aware that Chennai airport is a running airport, we were pressed with availability of space within the site as well. Therefore, some of the elements were fabricated off the site to enable smooth running of the existing airport. We could

The compelling story of Creative Group reflects enormous experience, expertise and innovation. Spanning decades in the burgeoning field of architecture in India, they are making important and significant contributions to the profession. This was made possible by the carefully crafted, Tracey Hummer

solid base formed (in 1973) by founding principal Prof Charanjit S Shah. His esteemed

presence and practice in academia and truly sustainable architecture brings an unparalleled level of skill and understanding to each project. Educating and inspiring generations of young architects (including his son), Prof Shah has spent his career advocating, practising and realising intelligent sustainable design solutions to improve our surroundings and daily lives. After travelling to the US and graduating from Columbia Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GSAPP programme, Gurpreet Shah returned to join his father, to continue learning and carry on the family tradition of practising architecture (which includes brother Prabhpreet Singh Shah and Kanureet Shah). With an emphasis on sustainable design, Gurpreet brings a novel and innovative approach to each project. He has been successful in forming international teams to pursue the larger infrastructure and transportation commissions that are part of Creative Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing and diverse portfolio. The Chennai Terminal represents the firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to push boundaries and envelopes of design, technology and sustainability, while recognising the significance of an airport and the city as an important gateway. The project serves as a model of creative and best sustainable practices with its restoration of native landscape, passive energy and conservation strategies, material selection, and the careful conservation and reuse of water. Creative Group remains at the forefront of collaboration. Their 10+ year relationship with Frederic Schwartz Architects (FSA) has yielded winning designs through international competitions. They continue their fruitful collaboration with a shared enthusiasm for innovation, sustainability and design excellence. With a unique vision, Creative Group is a global multigenerational, team-oriented architecture practice playing an important role in reshaping the built environment in India today.

overcome the challenges and hurdles in such large complexes because of the best of the team of consultants for all specialised works. This provided us with appropriate knowledge, understanding and techniques for proper execution at site. The major/minor deficiencies and defects could be avoided due to an expert team of consultants. Working with global consultants broadens our perspective to look beyond imagination. With global exposure, we have learned to be proactive in our documentation, detailing and specification along with estimates in the pre-tender stage. This has helped us to maintain finances and a timeline of the mega projects like Chennai and Goa Airports, etc.

VS: Your son Gurpreet, also an architect, has made giant strides in a short span. How do you both bring synergy in your work? CS: Gurpreet’s coming back from USA to India after doing his Urban Design from Columbia University and with global working experience was a turning point and we started working towards an organised practice. Luckily on our front, we have the synergy to work together. We shared our thoughts and started to participate in national competitions and were lucky enough to win most of them which lead to great success in our joint career. He was also instrumental in bringing global associates on mega projects. His vision and ambition brought a revolutionary change from transforming our small practice into a corporate practice. The practice expanded beyond our imagination and if we really look back, we feel greatly satisfied with our professional performance, giving a satisfactory delivery of the mega projects to our client. VS: Without offending sensibilities, would it be right to say that your son Gurpreet, on entering the profession has been the catalyst for the success and rising graph of your firm? CS: I would rather answer this the other way round. The success story of Gurpreet

and his vision started blossoming under my guardianship. Like good seeds and fertilizers give good fruit, similarly, in good grooming since his birth, absorbing the goodness of architecture through my company and thereafter holding the global experience and education gave him the initial dividend and eventually resulted in great achievements and excellence in profession and creativity. Our practice multiplied manifold and turned into a corporate practice. We are in a position to handle and deliver projects of any large magnitude. Our expertise besides basic architecture has grown to infrastructure development specialised in airports, metros, multi-modal transportation hubs, railway stations and large institution complexes. I can very proudly say as a father it feels very satisfying when his son grows up into a recognised professional. Today, he is looked at as my son, tomorrow I shall be very happy to be known as Gurpreet’s father, when he is recognised and has sufficiently contributed to the profession, with a sustainable professional growth. VS: In what ways has your firm changed the parameters of the profession today? CS: India is developing fast, and there is a tremendous impact on the urban growth. The cities are being redefined, and are now growing in multiple layers. The parameters of architectural practice have grown manifold in terms of urbanisation, scale and growth. There are changing lifestyles, mode of transportation, and a deficiency of urban land. The entire parameter of practice of architecture needs to be redefined. Our office also firmly believes in adapting to the realities and necessities of the day so as to have a pragmatic approach towards design issues. There is a big question in front of us after being involved in all types of practice for the last four decades. In today’s global context, is the architect to lead or to be led? The role of architect needs to be redefined. All of us need to re-look and penetrate into various challenges which the profession is

facing. The overlapping roles, professional clashes between the architects and the engineers in terms of understanding and visualisation need to be addressed. VS: How is your younger son Prabhpreet Singh with his rich international strategic and business management harnessing Creative Group’s vision? CS: Prabhpreet, though an engineer, and an MBA from the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, by virtue of his silent observation throughout his childhood and interaction with me and Gurpreet on various issues of architectural profession, has developed a great passion for the profession as well as urban development at large. He is very ambitious and has a foresight to participate in the larger development which is currently taking place in India like the Delhi-Bombay corridor, metro networks, mono-rails, high speed trains and creation of multi-mode transport hubs, etc. He has also been looking towards eco-friendly affordable housing and other projects which could jointly be built by way of sensitivity towards design, material application as well as construction technique so as to be able to produce affordable housing for the common man. His agenda with rich international strategic approach is looking for a corporate visionary global practice, but having a mark of identified and ideological sustainable approach which has given the firm its current identity. VS: You have a passion and zeal for sustainable green architecture to go beyond net zero. Could you elaborate? CS: Since the inception of my practice, I have been very conscious in my designs to be sustainable and respecting Mother Earth. During the process of my professional journey, my interaction with great masters like architects A P Kanvinde and Laurie Baker and others, and my interaction with Dr R K Pachauri during designing of the Staff Housing for TERI at Gwal Pahari, Gurgaon

have been significant. The concept of sustainability particularly through passive strategies became my mission. Going through my professional journey, we have now been able to understand the various issues related to and would ambitiously look beyond net zero. The design for IIT, Jodhpur, has inspired us to inculcate all such aspects which look beyond net zero in our forthcoming projects. We, at Creative Group, along with Gurpreet S Shah, Prabhpreet S Shah, Kanureet S Shah and passionate team of young Creative Group family– Rahul, Abhishek, Megha, Roohani, Pankaj, Jitendera, Indubhusan, Abhinay, Akanksha and others have been groomed to deliver any project of any magnitude. VS: What is your mission for the future? CS: As I have also expressed that it has never been a planned professional journey, one should look at it the way it comes. More importantly it is your attitude towards the deliverable which slowly and gradually grows into your aptitude. My endeavours would always be to associate myself and groom my creations in a most-lively and eco-friendly manner. A built form should not be treated as a dead mass of brick and concrete, but as a living organism. To my mind, the built form needs to breathe and should be embodied in the natural environment to be a part of the nature. Every project is a learning and ongoing experience and I wish to learn more and more so that I am able to deliver the best to the world. I take the progressive chart of career as a circle. There is no low or high on this graph. The progressive performance keeps the wheel moving and generates energy to learn more from the ocean of knowledge. I live with God’s grace and it is his will which makes me sail, through the low and high tides. Vivek Sabherwal is a practising architect in Delhi who also teaches at the Vastu Kala Academy.

haranjit Singh Shah is a truly down to earth individual, free of inhibitions and reservations, open to learn and share, which gives dynamism to Prof Dr S M Akhtar his vocabulary of architectural expression. His architecture is free of stagnation, staleness or repetition; it is always fresh and living to its context. He has always been a step ahead in delivering architecture for today and tomorrow, putting his signature on continuously transforming canvas of architecture. My association with Prof Charanjit Singh Shah is of more than two decades. We have travelled jointly through the professional journey and have been deeply interacting with each other since long and now have developed a family relationship and a strong academic brotherhood too. I remember about 20 years back I met him at the head office of The Indian Institute of Architects, Mumbai, where he was representing the Delhi Chapter of the Institute as Vice Chairman and I was there as Vice Chairman of the Uttar Pradesh Chapter of The Indian Institute of Architects. His vibrant energy and positive attitude towards profession attracted me. He has always been contributing as visiting faculty to many architecture institutions to promote architectural education. He has been a regular teacher also in many institutions. I remember when I took up the task of heading the architecture programme at Jamia Millia Islamia, I was starved of teachers at that time and requested him to join me and he instantly agreed though at that time the remunerations offered to him were paltry. Later, he was offered the regular professorship on Design Chair which he accepted. Besides academic interaction, we have worked together on some architectural design competitions also, which has given me lot of opportunities to witness his excellence in designing. He is a man of initiatives and explorations. As a practicing

architect he faced the difficulty in getting hold of practicing norms, standards, local bye-laws and other basic details needed for designing any architecture project, and instead of cribbing he preferred to contact professional colleagues to understand, collect and compile such vital information. This led to the beginning of his journey towards architecture publications relevant to Indian context and practice. It took a dedication of more than ten years to finally see the “Architects Handbook – Ready Reckoner” authored by him. This book now has become an essential document in most architectural studios and schools. Subsequently, books on water supply and sanitation, kitchens and bathrooms were authored by him which are fully equipped with all information, required by an architect during his education and practice. In the recent decade Charanjit has been designing large span structures like airport, metro stations, convention halls, etc, which has given him a lot of insight, experience and knowledge about various aspects of new materials and its application particularly in large span structures, which he intends to share through publication of special books on airports and working details for large span structure fabrication. Prof Shah says, “It is always a learning experience towards gaining knowledge and it gives immense satisfaction in sharing the same with co-professionals. Truly the print media and publication of books is one of the ways of expressing the same.” His simplicity and adoration to the basic principle to be a good human being makes him a spiritual and truthful soul. As a teacher of architecture, my first lesson starts as, “for being good architect you need to be good human being” – that is what I have been preaching and teaching from decades and what has been practiced by Charanjit over the years. Prof Dr S M Akhtar is the dean of the Faculty of Architecture & Ekistics at Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi.

A divine friendship

s an engineer and a person involved in the field of construction it was a pleasant surprise to meet a consultant from Delhi that too in our home town Erode way back in the year 2000 in connection with U R C Devarajan the project Amudham Dairy. As a young man, I was curious how I am going to develop a rapport with this gentleman who explained the design. Many a times the relationship between a consultant and a contractor turns out to be a strained one. But ours turned out to be one of the rare and divine friendships with the main focus on giving the best value for the client. Prof Shah surprisingly came out with the idea of a vault roof. He advised us to produce a sample vault on the ground and made us to understand the advantage of using vaults with just 80mm thickness by which the cost has been controlled and did not require any treatment on both the sides. The time of construction came down drastically because of the shape and the de-shuttering could happen within a shorter time span of three days.

Subsequently, we were fortunate to create a unique facility for Kongu Engineering College in Tamil Nadu. In all these years we used to discuss in length about various issues. We usually end our conversation with our thoughts on spirituality and finally on the possibility of connecting north and south by doing something together. While discussing about a housing development project at Tirupur we both decided to form a new company in the name and style of URC Creative developers and we are going strong in that domain. Our Tirupur project will be one of the few eco-friendly, cost-effective housing solutions for the famous knitwear town. In all these years of our relationship I admire the values for which Prof Shah strives. Be it a technical decision or a commercial decision or an investment decision I found him to be balanced, unbiased and never bothered about the monetary part. He always looks at the project perspective and the outcome of the relationship. U R C Devarajan is the managing director of URC Group of Companies.

Comments on Architects Handbook – Ready Reckoner by Charanjit Shah “A very useful book for our profession…” – Raj Rewal “I have only glanced through this new book – it looks as though it is an amazing all-inclusive review of everything we want to know about buildings.” – Laurie Baker “I am of firm opinion that this book will be of great value to architect and professionals of building industry. I must say more of such attempts in the field of architecture will uplift the profession on the whole.” – Rusi S Khambatta, president, Commonwealth Association of Architects “ Charanjit S Shah’s Architects Handbook is a very useful document. It is a good reference book. We, in Nepal, look forward for a direction in various fields of architecture from India.” – M L Kayastha, president, Nepalese Institute of Architects “An excellent collection of all that practicing architects need in terms of professional information and data, particularly in and around Delhi.” – Prof Ved Raori, head, Faculty of Architecture, Sushant School of Art and Architecture, Gurgaon

Beginning of Guild of Practising Architects…

n the early 1970s, at the beginning of our practice, we did not have much interaction with the members of the fraternity and were practising in isolation. But during 1976, the initiation Arun Virmani taken by my friend Charanjit along with some of the other colleagues rooted the idea of an association, the Guild of Practising Architects (GPA). He has always been very composed and was instrumental in the success of the GPA Awards which went on to become very recognised in the field.

wo days from now, anyone walking into the new domestic and international terminals of Chennai airport can be forgiven for thinking they are in Marwar or Udaipur. The huge steel and glass buildings, to be inaugurated by vice-president Hamd Ansari on Thursday, will have something in common with the havelis in those regions — a courtyard with a garden. A vertical garden visible from any level of the ‘H’ shaped terminal is expected to be a cynosure of all eyes. Walking from the check-in area to the departure gate along an elliptical transparent tube, one will pass over a green open courtyard. Special lighting in the garden and inside the building is expected to offer a surreal experience. The buildings, designed to make travellers linger around as they wait for flights, have expansive glass curtain walls that allow sky light to penetrate and highlight the geometry of trusses in a changing pattern of shade and shadow throughout the day. A huge quantity of steel and glass has been used to minimize use of artificial lighting during the day. “The ‘H’ shape allows in light from all sides and we have tried to create a vertical draft so that exhaust can go up. This way we need not cool all the air in the building. This will be the first airport with greenery inside,” said Gurpreet S Shah, principal architect along with Charanjit S Shah of Creative Group that designed the terminals in association with Gensler and Frederic Schwartz Architects. The “principal aim,” he said, “was to minimize heat gain and maximize day lighting throughout the terminal as far as possible. High level of sustainability has been the focus in all aspects, including restoring native landscape, material selection, energy conservation, storm water detention and waste water dispersal. Bricks were replaced with aerated autoclaved concrete blocks to ensure thermal insulation.” The buildings are touted as Asia’s largest green terminals. Variable frequency drives for motors, chiller load management through micro processor controls, lux sensors in lighting control and building management system are a few of the measures set to for optimise energy use. Water efficient landscaping, rain water harvesting, water efficient fixtures, use of treated grey water for air-conditioning, cooling system, innovative treatment plant are also installed.

Too late, lamented: Artists who await state honours Carnatic musician Nedunuri Krishnamoorthy. Most of them are in their 70s and 80s and have more or less resigned to the lack of state recognition. “He is not bothered about it as none of his colleagues received a Padma award,” says Gopi Krishna, son of 84-year-old Vishwanathan, popularly known as MSV. While the musician feels that the public has awarded him with their appreciation for his music, family and fans say that if at all he got the award, it should have come 30 years ago. “We ensured that his details are sent by the state government and though they have recommended him in the last few years, he hasn’t got it yet. Now, we have told him that even if he gets a Bharat Ratna he should reject it. But he just laughs,” says R Sabesan, a fan. Padma awards, instituted in 1954, are given in three categories- Padma Shri for ‘distinguished service’; Padma Bhushan for ‘distinguished

service of a high order’; and Padma Vibhushan for ‘exceptional and distinguished service’ in various fields. Every year, recommendations from state governments, ministries and departments, Bharat Ratna and Padma Vibhushan awardees, ministers and private individuals are placed before a committee. It shortlists 120 names and the list is then approved by the Prime Minister and the President. However, many artists say that the selection process is not transparent. “Committees should consist of people with integrity and enough knowledge to know about the person whom they are selecting for the award,” says K Satchidanandan, a well known poet and former secretary of Sahitya Akademi. Art critic Sadanad Menon says that in a huge country like India, it is natural for some people to miss such awards. “Every year, they give 120 awards. So it is no wonder that many are left out. Either the

goverment should scrap it or increase the number of awards,” says Menon. “Awards are just a sign of patronage. Something that you see in the monarchical, feudal patronage system where you bless a few people while ignore the others,” adds Menon. According to Menon, instead of awarding the artists, the government should enhance the infrastructure for them. They should build more stages and studios so artists don’t have to run around to find performance spaces. As for Janaki’s decision, Carnatic musician Aruna Sairam says it is a bold one. “She has brought to light how many legends in the south have been ignored over the years. But, if she eventually agrees to accept the award, it would be great,” says Sairam. “You do not say no to something that your country gives you,” she says.

Chennai: As many as 30,013 Class 12 students in Chennai are set to take the board exam practicals from February 1 to 16 in two phases — from February 1 to 8 and from February 9 to 16. Though the exams are being conducted around the same time as in earlier years, students and teachers feel the timing could have been revised to suit the changes made in the academic calendar. It all started with the change in the half-yearly exam dates. The second-term, which usually closes with the Christmas holidays, was extended till January 10 for Class 12 students. The inordinate number of rain holidays the state government was forced to declare was cited as the reason for the change in plans. This pushed the first revi-

will result in students not being able to write even one revision exam. How can we expect students to come to school a week before the boards,” asked a commerce teacher in an aided school. Teachers said that even students who sit for the revision exam couldn’t really benefit from it, because the evaluated revision papers would be given on February 25. Three days before the board exam is no time to tell a student that he or she is weak in a subject, some said. Some private schools have, however, managed to cram two revision tests after the half-yearly exams. To avoid a situation where there is neither time to prepare for the board practicals nor gain maximum benefit by conducting a revision test, schools suggest postponing the board practicals till after the theory exams end on March 27.

CHENNAI, JAN. 31

The massive steel structure shaped like an H that houses the new domestic terminal-II of the city airport is a piece of art, enhanced by a central green spine of gardens running vertically through it. Principal architect, Prof Charanjit S. Shah, says the building has been constructed using advanced technology that allows the terminal to be filled with glarefree natural light. The huge structure is covered with glass on all sides giving the passengers a clear view of the landscape outside. “The structure is completely transparent and we have designed it to save energy. While the terminal will be lit by sunlight, the heat will be kept out by aerated autoclaved concrete blocks,” he explains, adding that the concept is in keeping with the Energy Conservation Building Codes.

PERAMBALUR ALL SET TO TURN LEATHER HUB K. SREEDEVI | DC

CHENNAI, JAN. 31

Perambalur, near Trichy, is all set to get a unique place for itself in the global leather map. Soon, about 20 leather units will be setting up their units to make finished goods in the district as the areas has been identified as one of mega leather cluster (MLC) being promoted by the central government. About 160 acres of dry land in the area has been earmarked for the cluster and a detailed project report is being prepared by the Council of Leather Exports (CLE) to submit soon for Centre’s approval. “We will be submitting our report before March 31,” said CLE southern chairman Mr P.R. Aqueel Ahmed. The MLC will house only companies engaged in finished goods products business such as garments, bags, belts, footwear etc and hence does not call for any tannery set up. “There will be no pollution whatsoever from these units and in any case all leather units in the state comply with strict zero liquid discharge norms being enforced,” he said. With about 30 per cent of the two crore workforce in leather sector being women, the MLC will provide new jobs for women in that area. “About 600 women in the area are likely to be employed by various units in the cluster,” said Mr R. Ramesh Kumar, executive director of CLE. “Skill mapping in the area has already been done by independent consultants who have identified that a majority of them are now moving to Trichy for want of work,” he added. The MLCs are a subscheme launched under the Indian Leather Development Programme (ILDP) with an allocation of Rs. 600 crore during the 12th Five Year Plan period. The scheme targets industrial clusters with high growth potential that require strategic interventions by way of infrastructural support.

QUALIFIED TEMPLE OFFICIALS AWAIT THEIR DUE DC CORRESPONDENT

CHENNAI, JAN. 31

For senior grade officials it is virtually impossible to get on board the elite group of temple administration officials. After putting in two to three decades of service, many officials who join as junior assistants, technical and non-technical cadres, retire without climbing up the ladder. “Most of us possess the requisite educational qualification and gain experience in temple management. But we are seldom considered for elevation,” said S. Jeevanandam, state general secretary of TN Senior Grade Temple Employees Association. Despite repeated pleas, they have not even been made government staff. The senior grade temple officials have been demanding that the state elevate them as executive officers and assistant commissioners. Recently representatives from the association met the HR & CE Department minister M.S.M. Anandan and HR & CE Commissioner P. Dhanapal and submitted a charter of 18 demands.

CHENNAI, JAN. 31

Chennai’s gleaming new airport terminals were inaugurated Thursday by Vice President Hamid Ansari in the absence of Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa, who chose to stay away to register her “hurt” at the Centre ignoring her request to name the new domestic terminal-II after AIADMK founder, M.G. Ramachandran. Given that the old domestic and international terminals were named after Congress leader, K. Kamaraj and DMK founder, Peraringar Anna respectively, CM wrote to the Union civil aviation minister asking for the new domestic terminal-II to be named after MGR. But when she received no response from the ministry, the Chief Minister decided to boycott the function “with a heavy heart.” “I still urge the Centre to name the new domestic terminal-II after Bharat Ratna MGR,” she said in a press release. Jayalalithaa, however, adhered to protocol by receiving the Vice President at the city airport. Dedicating the newly built international and domestic terminals and upgraded airside facilities at the airport to the nation, Ansari said

the Chennai airport would be a natural gateway to Southeast Asia due to its geographical location. “The Chennai airport has attained greater importance in view of India’s Look East policy which promotes economic and commercial integration with East Asian and Southeast Asian nations,” he said, adding that the passenger and freight traffic to and from Southeast Asian countries was bound to rise in times to come. Noting that Chennai airport was the third busiest in the country, Union civil aviation minister, Ajit Singh said that with the addition of the new terminals and other facilities, its capacity had been enhanced from nine million to 23 million passengers per annum. Earlier civil aviation secretary, K.N. Srivastava urged the Tamil Nadu government to plan for a Greenfield airport soon. “The expanded Chennai airport will just about meet the city’s requirements till 20192020. So we request the state government to send its proposal to the civil aviation ministry for a Greenfield airport,” he said. TN Governor, K. Rosaiah and Union minister of state for civil aviation K. C. Venugopal also spoke.

TINDIVANAM, JAN. 31

Former Puducherry Min P.M.L. Kalyanasundaram appears before the Tindivanam Judicial Magistrate Court I on Thursday. —DC Tindivanam. Rajinikanth had forged a letter from the district education office stating that Adhavan, a teacher at an adi-dravidar school in Tindivanam had been assigned as the examiner for the Centre. The prosecution failed to prove charges of impersonation against Kalyanasundaram

A structure for rainwater harvesting is in place as well to recharge the groundwater. “The speciality of this terminal is that it has one of the largest cantilevers (a beam anchored at only one end) of 25 metres on the city side,” adds Shah. “The departure hall is big and beautiful. The steel structures and the glass walls add glamour, but I wish there was some artwork too,” said Lakshmi, a visitor. While the new buildings were inaugurated on Thursday, they will be used for actual operations only after a month, according to AAI chairman V.P. Agrawal.

Ex Pondy min gets 2 yrs RI Tindivanam judicial magistrate I A. Saritha on Thursday sentenced former Puducherry education minister and ruling AINRC MLA P.M.L. Kalyanasundaram to two years imprisonment under each of Sections 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating) and 471 (using as genuine a forged document) read with Section 109 and 120 (b) (criminal conspiracy) for alleged forgery at the SSLC examinations in September 2011 at a private school in Tindivanam in Tamil Nadu. Two others — P. Adhavan, a teacher at a government school, and M. Rajinikanth, a clerk in the district education office — were convicted to two years imprisonment under each of the two Sections. The sentences would run concurrently. Kalyanasundaram had allegedly entered into a criminal conspiracy with Adhavan and Rajinikanth and used forged documents to appear for the SSLC examinations held at a private school in

The terminal has one of the largest cantilevers

but charged him with criminal conspiracy and forgery. A complaint was filed by education authorities before the Villupuram district crime branch. Kalyanasundaram and two others were slapped a fine of `5,000 and in default had to undergo three months of imprisonment.

All three have since come out on bail after filing petitions in court and submitting surety of `10,000 each and have been granted time till February 20 to file an appeal, said public prosecutor Y. Amjad Ali. Kalyanasundaram, elected from Kalapet constituency in May 2011, was inducted into the Rangasamy ministry in Puducherry on June 8.

LETTER TO NITISH

Vaiko objects to SL prez’s Bodh Gaya visit DC CORRESPONDENT

CHENNAI, JAN. 31

MDMK general secretary Vaiko on Thursday announced that he would lead his party men to picket the prime minister’s residence in New Delhi on February 8 protesting against the visit of Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse’s visit to India. He also wrote to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar urging him to cancel the visit of Rajapakse to Bodh Gaya, where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment, on February 8. In a statement, Vaiko said that he had announced in Madhya Pradesh in September last year that he would picket the PM’s residence if the Lankan president visited India again. The MDMK leader said that Rajapakse’s visit to Bodh Gaya came weeks

Vaiko before the United Nation Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva in March. Appealing to the Bihar CM Vaiko wrote, “The people of TN are terribly shocked to know that Mahinda Rajapakse is going to visit Bodh Gaya.” He said that the threemember panel appointed by the General Secretary of UN in 2010 had submitted its report, which clearly exposed the gruesome genocide of Tamils committed by the Sri Lankan government of Rajapakse.

SHIFT APPROVED

SC ok to hospital at Omandurar

DC CORRESPONDENT

NEW DELHI, JAN. 31

The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a plea challenging Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalitha’s decision to convert the state’s sprawling new assembly-cum-secretariat complex building in Chennai into a government hospital and shift the assembly and secretariat back to its old building in the city. A bench headed by Chief Justice Altamas Kabir

The plea was filed by DMK leader R. Veeramani refused to set aside the state government’s decision which was taken after the AIADMK came back to power in May 2011. The sprawling complex was built by the previous DMK government at an estimated `500 crore and inaugurated by the Prime Minister. The bench said these

issues should be raised before another forum and the court should not adjudicate them after it was pleaded that the decision was taken only to override the earlier decision taken by the DMK government to shift the Assembly to the new building at Omandurar Government Estate in Chennai. The Jayalalithaa government had decided to shift the Secretariat to the Fort St. George and convert the new building constructed by the previous DMK gov-

ernment into a multi-speciality hospital-cum-medical college. The apex court passed the order on a plea filed by DMK leader R Veeramani challenging the Madras High Court’s decision upholding the shifting of the Assembly to the older building. On June 20, last year, the court had declined to interfere with the plea pending in the Madras High Court seeking to restrain the TN government from shifting the Secretariat building.

Airport’s lofty dream takes wings DC | S. Sujatha | 01st Feb 2013

The common user terminals and the massive steel structure of the departure hall at Chennai airport are illuminated by natural light thanks to its superior design. —DC Chennai: The massive steel structure shaped like an H that houses the new domestic terminal-II of the city airport is a piece of art, enhanced by a central green spine of gardens running vertically through it. Principal architect, Prof Charanjit S. Shah, says the building has been constructed using advanced technology that allows the terminal to be filled with glarefree natural light. The huge structure is covered with glass on all sides giving the passengers a clear view of the landscape outside. “The structure is completely transparent and we have designed it to save energy. While the terminal will be lit by sunlight, the heat will be kept out by aerated autoclaved concrete blocks,” www.deccanchronicle.com/ ww m print/ t 130201/new ews-current-af affairs/article/ e airport’s-lof ofty- dream-take k s-wi w ngs

Vice-President Hamid Ansari dedicated the new domestic and international terminals at the Chennai airport to the nation here on Thursday. Speaking after inaugurating the terminals, Mr. Ansari said the airport was the premier international gateway and air hub for South India, besides being the third biggest airport in the country. The importance of Chennai as a national and international destination was well established. It attained more importance in view of the country’s ‘Look East’ policy because of which greater economic and commercial integration with the countries of East Asia and South East Asia was taking place at a rapid pace. Consequently, passenger and freight traffic to and from these countries was bound to rise. The existing terminals had a capacity to handle six million domestic and three million international passengers. With the expansion, the new international and domestic terminals could handle an additional four million international and 10 million domestic passengers per annum. Ajit Singh, Union Minister for Civil Aviation, said the two terminals and the airside facilities were upgraded at the airport. Governor K. Rosiah said the airport would not only promote international tourism, but would also attract business opportunities. CM boycotts function Chief Minister Jayalalithaa boycotted the inauguration of the new terminals at the Chennai airport on Thursday. In a statement here, she said she was not participating in the inauguration as the Centre had not responded to her request that it be named after former Chief Minister M.G. Ramachandran. However, as per the protocol, the Chief Minister received Mr. Ansari. Keywords: Hamid Ansari, Chennai airport, Airports Authority of India, Chennai new terminals

Chennai airport to become SE Asia hub DC | 31st Jan 2013

Chennai: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) proposes to make the city airport the hub for Southeast Asia with more terminals and facilities lined up. While noting that metro airports — Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata — are vying for the status, AAI chairman V.P. Agϝrϝawal said on Wedϝnesϝday a study by a leading research agency, Cenϝtre for Asia Pacific Avϝiϝation, has revealed that Chennai has the potential. Ahead of the inauguration of the new domestic and international terminals, he told mediapersons that Chennai airport could handle 40 million passengers per year in future.

Emirates Group keen on making Chennai airport its hub Our Bureau

US Business Opportunities - 2013 Trends – A Business Roundtable 11 Feb 2013 @ Brickwork India. www.fairfaxcountyeda.org Chennai, Jan. 30: The Emirates Group has shown interest in making Chennai airport as its hub. “We are looking at this and are open to any airline for such an arrangement,” said V.P. Agrawal, Chairman, Airports Authority of India. In fact, the Emirates group is one of the biggest airlines in the Chennai airport for both passenger and cargo segments. “With the newly built terminals and better sea connectivity, Chennai airport could become a hub mainly to connect the South-East Asian countries,” he told newspersons. Airports in Hyderabad and Bangalore do not have the advantages that Chennai has, he said. According to Agrawal, the Chennai airport’s capacity can go up to 40 million from the present 23 million, which will be enough till 2017-18. In fact, the Centre for Aviation had given its recommendation to increase the capacity to 40 million. “We are looking at this and will take action soon,” he said. On the user development fee at Chennai airport, Agrawal said that there would be a marginal increase but it will be lower than some of the private terminals. The capacity of the airports in India is expected to reach 271.24 million passengers by the end of the 12th Plan, which will be adequate to handle the project demand of 268.44 million passengers up to 2016-17, says a press release. At present five major airports are being operationaised under the private-public-partnership at New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Kochi. The new terminal building is under construction at Mumbai airport and phase I for international operations is likely to be ready by August, while the second phase for domestic operations will be ready by August 2014. raja.simhan@thehindu.co.in Keywords: Emirates Group shown interest in making Chennai airport, as hub, V.P.

New terminals at airport to boost passenger traffic Special Correspondent

Vice-President Hamid Ansari dedicated the new domestic and international terminals at the Chennai airport to the nation here on Thursday. Speaking after inaugurating the terminals, Mr. Ansari said the airport was the premier international gateway and air hub for South India, besides being the third biggest airport in the country. The importance of Chennai as a national and international destination was well established. It attained greater importance in view of the country’s ‘Look East’ policy because of which greater economic and commercial integration with the countries of East Asia and South East Asia was taking place at a rapid pace. Consequently, passenger and freight traffic to and from these countries was bound to rise. The existing terminals had a capacity to handle six million domestic and three million international passengers. With the upgrade and expansion, the new international and domestic terminals could handle an additional four million international and 10 million domestic passengers per annum. Ajit Singh, Union Minister for Civil Aviation, said the two terminals and the airside facilities were upgraded at the Chennai airport. Secondary runway was extended by 1,032 metres by constructing a concrete bridge across Adyar River. With the completion of the runway extension, the aircraft movement would increase from 30 aircraft per hour to 40 aircraft. The main focus of the government was to provide air connectivity to remote and interior areas of the country, particularly tier two and tier three cities in the coming years. This could be achieved through the operation of right mix of aircraft by the airlines and development of low-cost, no-frill airports, he said. Tamil Nadu Governor K. Rosiah said aviation was the most important growth engine. The Chennai airport, a hub, would not only promote international tourism, but would attract business opportunities, he said. Once the Airport metro rail is completed, it would become a multi-transport hub where various modes of transport would converge, said K.C. Venugopal, Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation.

Equitymaster.com/BlueChip-Stocks Chennai, Jan 31: Vice President M Hamid Ansari on Thursday inaugurated the newly built International and Domestic terminals at the airport here and upgraded air facilities, all completed at a cost of over Rs 2,000 crore by the Airports Authority of India. Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, who was originally scheduled to participate, boycotted the function since the Centre had not responded favourably to her demand to name domestic Terminal 2 after her mentor, AIADMK founder and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M G Ramachandran. In his address Ansari said Chennai airport is the “premier” international gateway and air hub for South India, besides being the third busiest airport in the country. “It has attained greater importance in view of India’s Look East Policy due to which greater economic and commercial integration with countries of East Asia and South East Asia is taking place at a rapid pace.” “Consequently, passenger and freight traffic to and from these countries is bound to rise in the times to come. With Chennai being the natural gateway due to geographical proximity, the upgrade and modernisation of the airport is a timely and appropriate initiative,” he said. As a vital infrastructure, civil aviation plays an essential role in the economic progress and integration of a country and it has an important role to play in promotion of travel, trade and tourism, he said. “During natural calamities, harsh weather conditions as in places like Leh, Kargil and the Islands, air transport is the most viable mode. Civil aviation also makes a vital contribution on integrating the country with the rest of the world,” he noted. Better air services help improve competitiveness of industry and exports and by expanding the size of the market aviation acts as a ‘spur’ for innovation, he said. With a 15 per cent Compounded Annual Growth in air transport in India in the last 10 years, he said he has been told the government of India has given in-principle approval for 15 Greenfield airports with AAI upgrading and modernising 35 non-metro airports. “These steps will definitely help in providing better facilities and connectivity to citizens in the coming decades,” he said. www.thehindubusinessline.com/ ww m industryy and-economy my/logistics/v /vice-president-inaugurates-new ew- international-domestic-terminals-in-chennai/article4 e 365267.ece

Giving shape to Gateway’s of India Airports today are what railway stations were a decade ago, gateways that every year provides millions of travelers with their first and last impressions of a city. A transitory refuge to a traveler, airports are best when they convey a sense of welcome and arrival to passengers landing in a new city. With the recently inaugurated airports at Raipur and Chennai, India is no longer lagging behind as airport architecture in the country has taken a great leap forward. Cumbersome travel experiences through various security processes, and dreary arrival halls are a thing of the past. Transparent terminals with inspiring architecture, set in a larger than life structural canvas make for a “grand welcome” for the travelers. A definite movement pattern, clear segregation of spaces and short travel distances are any travelers delight when alighting from the terminals at Raipur and Chennai. Such efficiency in planning of spaces inspires a sense of good will in the commuters, says architect Chiranjeet S. shah; founding Principal at Creative group The sheer scale and virginity of the structural envelope at the Chennai airport awes the otherwise hastening traveler into the airport. Beautifully tied up with vertical landscaping, the terminal airport seamlessly blurs boundaries between inside and outside. Arriving through the majestic glass tube, instantly releases the travel fatigue as one is visually treated to the lush vertical gardens. The domestic and international terminals are not just engineering marvels but synergized an organic form which is a beautiful combination of architecture and engineering. Popular television actor Rahuol says, "I was surprised when I landed in Raipur. I was awestruck after seeing the magnificent airport. Our entire team was impressed with the infrastructure.” It is no surprise, that the airport is garnering such appreciation. Its organic form deriving its genesis from an “Avian” is conceived with a sliced dome at the centre and multiple wings elevating the roof profile towards the sky. The slicing of the roof profile maximizes the daylight, while emitting light in the sky making it visible at night. The design of the terminal building, liaise emphasis on the vastness of spaces, the visual experience of the sky and the subtle landing on the ground with the terminal building as catalyst integrating all three. The iconic roof of the structure formulated is a resultant of the strenuous task requiring the design and assimilation of more than 14,500 tubular members. Such novelty in structural design emphasizes the greater role play of an advanced construction technology and upͲtoͲdate engineering innovation. These have kept the aviation industry afloat. Where Raipur is acknowledged for its massive structural roof, the terminal planning at Chennai airport takes the takes the cake for originality in airport planning. Scooping out the redundant terminal area, formulating an HͲshaped terminal proved to be a master stroke by the architect. Not only did it bestow the passengers with green landscape views, breaking the tension inside the busy airport, but also ample daylight reached every nook of the building.

“Eating what you have grown completes a cycle, from seed to table, that humans have been fulfilling for thousands of years.” Every organic species is a protagonist in nature’s cycle to evolve, revolve and perish. This rhythmic evolution has shaped the environment into a cycle of selfͲsustainability. By principle our builtͲform should be no different. The buildings that we create are to be a reflection of the environment they are built in. For instance, the Jaisalmer fort and the rest of the city were built for heat, with wind corridors and the architecture providing builtͲin comfort for its denizens. These features show the simultaneous existence of thermal comfort, in extreme climatic conditions. With no modern technology, or sophisticated airͲconditioning equipments, our ancestors found comfort by sitting merely in a shaded street, an airy courtyard or the extending terraces. These open, yet protected spaces became the heart of Indian living.

Traditional street of Jaisalmer, showing mutual shading

However with advances in technology, the arrival of new materials in the market and a changed lifestyle, we are keen to give our buildings a modern look, often forgetting the impact on the environment. What is required on our part, as designers, is consciousness and a careful reinterpretation of traditional and regional aspects, to coexist within the parameters of contemporary times. We need to borrow from the historic context, our traditional and climatically appropriate principles of planning and further enhance them with modern engineering and technology. Looking at two drastically different buildings in term of building typology, function and climatic conditions are two case examples of architectural built forms that have been evolved in response to their local climate. With wonders in building engineering, cutting edge construction technology and

Prof Charanjit S Shah and Ar Gurpreet S Shah Partners, Creative Group, New Delhi

In the fast changing world of globalization and in a race to imitate the west, architects today compromise on the essence of regional context and overlook the climatic conditions. The current scenario explicates, that extensive use of modern materials like Steel & Glass, has diminished the essence of regional architecture. There is no dearth of architects who are on a wild goose chase, ignoring the essence and beauty of their surroundings. Moreover, they also show their insensitivity towards the local aesthetics. This especially holds true for a place like Jodhpur which has a rich architectural heritage surviving and performing brilliantly in spite of the extreme climatic conditions. Are we at a threshold ,where we need to draw inspiration from the architects who existed centuries ago and were capable of respecting and complementing the climate, context and the local available resources and technology to create buildings that not only were energy efficient, aesthetically sound and more habitable but were also lesser dependant on the non-renewable sources of energy. M/s Creative Group, are the winners of National Open Design Competition for the proposed Co-orporate Office Complex for OIL India Ltd at Jodhpur. The team of architects Prof Charanjit S Shah and

ArGurpreet S Shah undertook the project of the office building in Jodhpur keeping in mind the moral duty of any architect, who is answerable to the environment with every single stone added. According to Mr. Shah â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the current scenario of Energy Crisis, it is very important to explore and evolve relationship between energy efficient strategies and with the technology of the localâ&#x20AC;? Thus, with an attempt to explore and amalgamate a relationship between local technology and energy efficient techniques, Creative Group has evolved the design of OIL HOUSE, Jodhpur Building. It is a portrayal of innovative energy efficient techniques, with the use of local and modern materials in right proportions. It also sets an example on how energy efficiency can be enhanced by integrating advances in architecture and locally available technology. The office building has a total area of 5000 Sq mts and accommodates functions like the reception, office, library, record room, conference room, a central atrium, parking etc. Ar Gurpreet S Shah, Masters from Columbia University, New York, has professionally utilized all the elements of active and passive strategies of Green Architecture.
