introduction : “The modernist model, involving whole sale demolition and reconstruction under the direction of planning officials isolated from public opinion came under fierce attack both, intellectually and on ground.” (Death and Life of great American cities, 1961 - Jane Jacob). Traditional street markets have layers which are gradually weaved upon their facades, forming various patterns of intersections of these intermediate spaces between the road (public) and the building (private) space. The elements such as plinths, footpaths, steps, facades, walls, etc. are layered with parasitic elements of notional boundaries by the users of these streets. Thus, these elements are tangible in nature, which change and adapt to different situations. The idea of having an eye on the street by the user and the audience behind/above the market users upon the streets forming intermediate spaces of interactions, where in the facades becomes areas of exchange of materials and other social interactions. “The cities and society of capitalism, modern architecture proposes elimination of the street as a pre requisite of modern urban organization.” The contemporary forms of market streets (malls), buildings of huge volumes are being spaces of markets in a closed spatial conditions, devoid of any context. Their planning evolves in a grid, organized, and thus remains stagnant due to lack of parasitic elements and intermediate spaces of plinths, footpaths, etc. The walls/ facades within these spaces become an area of display. The idea of eyes on streets through cameras for control and surveillance has become a main feature of the contemporary typology of corridor streets, which also incorporates machine age requirements. The street corridor in contemporary typology becomes a closed container where in the advertisements are forms of display and escalators becomes a route of transition. On contrary, traditional streets are organic and patterns differ from one social condition to another. They also are dynamic in nature, change with respect to its social conditions. Thesis aims at studying patterns of these two typologies, diagramming them, and then evolving a new typology which would negotiate with the patterns of old traditional street markets and the fixed forms of contemporary markets.

UTOPIAN SOCIALISM Utopia – often termed to be realistic version of an imaginary society and space of absolute politics and idealism. The space is manufactured in process of planned ratios of socialism and politism where the intersection reveals with the idea of sub- utopian product. The act of control over the free form, expression or baggage of history, manipulates the façades of the city spaces in to precision over geometry and form. The static forms of the buildings mark the idealised static nature of the utopian society and its functions. Rejection of the non-idealised form or network of planning or embedding of history further led the societies of capitalism to negotiate between the real and the utopia. ‘Socialism’ evolved as an act of behaviour towards the society; further down classified in forms with respect to the immediate spatial conditions. The idealization of socialism as an act of planning of modern cities and streets led to the forms of repetitive modules and structures, devoid of context. Patterns of grid and repetition defined the new forms of urban spaces within the cities corridors. Glass, the manufactured material of industrial revolution replaced the fragments of ornamentation over the façade. The utopian planning of ideal city dismissed the notion of intermediate spaces of socialism, the incremental process of urban growth and the process of informal socialism that existed within its streets. Concrete defined the language of the modern building while form defined its character; form was noted in its absolute order carrying a notion of universality within itself. Parallel streets with the degree of intersection-nodes formed the platforms that bridged between planner and consumer. The idea of mechanical control and surveillance over the streets defined its nature of governance; the idealisation of the pattern of hierarchy in the city was re-defined. While the distance along the map was measured by the travel time, streets were mainly the commute to and fro to work. The grid, circles, squares , hexagons and other geometric forms were drawn and defined on a sheet of paper which were then represented as absolute spaces of the modern city. The forms of modern planning derived out of math and geometry, which eliminated the chances of immediate encounters within its pattern of street system. Buildings were the only spaces of the immediate commute while the process of social – adaptation was reciprocated as compared to the pre-industrial towns and cities. The streets soon were recognised as places of crime while the social structure of the society then started accumulating within the building system itself. The building, thus then proposed the idea of comfort and the public space within its society, which further led to agglomeration of spaces and floor plates within a defined system. The system of space was thus controlled and mechanised to an extent of movement and spatial hierarchy. Spaces of social nature were re-defined, the forms of ergonomics were scaled to define the human value to the space it habited. The modular man is an anthropometric scale of proportions, devised as a bridge between two scales of measurement for the unit system, which further reflected in the form of the building scales from unit to the whole; its appearance and function of architecture. The idea of modern-ism and redefining the character of social space was initiated by keeping the human form in centre, and the idea of universality in the reference context. The products of machine age restricted the motions of structure and the space within its system; thus factor of ‘constant’ was defined by glass facades and solid shear walls. The façade systems thus enclosed the buildings to form isolated systems of social structure within the society space. The street then remained as a ‘mute’ mode of transition between these isolated systems of the city. Cities were devoid with the spaces organic growth forms and spatial structure; thus resulted in death of streets of its social adaptations. “Everything had changed. All those quarters that I had known so well presented themselves to me in a different and recently embellished form. I was lost in vast and beautiful streets, all properly aligned. I entered spacious intersections so well ordered that I saw not a hint of obstruction. I heard none of those confusedly bizarre cries that once rent my ears. I encountered no vehicles ready to crush me. A blind man would have been able to walk easily. The city had an animated air, but without trouble or confusion” (L’An 2440,90)

THE MANUFACTURED MODERNISM

THE CITY OF LABOR That was the sink he wanted to purify, the ancient prison of the working classes he wanted to raze with all it inequities and its terrible cruelties, finally to heal mankind of its age-old corruption and he would re-build on that very spot the City of Truth, Justice and Happiness, whose white houses he aldready saw, as he evoked the image of the future city, sparkling admist the verdure, free and fraternal benath a great sun of joy.

SCENES OF THE STREET

THE CITY OF ENLIGHTENMENT IDEALS There one sees at the same time order and bizerrerie symmetry and variety here ; one perceives and etoile there a crow’s foot on the side routes of a cluster, on the other routes in a fan shape, further away parallel routes, everywhere crossroads of different shapes and designs. The more choice, abundance, contrast and disorder is there in the composition, the more the park will have piquant and delightful beauties. The Scenes of the Street and other Essays Anothony Widler The Monacelli Press

summary : Thesis is initiated by studying the intermediate spaces of the market streets where in; how these kind of informal spaces have evolved. Such spaces have many associations with the people in its context, kind of patterns it created and notional boundaries that existed. As the mall typology (contemporary typology) evolves, it eliminates these kind of intermediate spaces of informality. Traditional Market Streets have also now failed to accommodate the modern age machine tools; Malls …hence, are placed as ideal solutions to these street features. Malls have been set up in an isolated box conditions devoid of any context around. These spaces are thus driven by set of modern urban planning forms, utopian imaginations. These two patterns differ in terms of its user groups, modes of operation and systems of display and function, thus the later one becoming a spectacle. And a disjunction is evolved. Disjunction results in change in the economic systems, class divides, policies which then considers the traditional markets unlawful/ illegal/ inefficient. This disjunction has led to elimination street spaces; micro economies are getting affected. Malls on the other hand, work on the principles of rent (hence, not permanent, not fixed) + the shops have multiple chains all around the city, forming macro economies, large trade networks from production units to retain outlets. Grey fields are the results of poor economic growth and planning of malls too. Thus, the city faces these dual conditions, where in people try to negotiate between the traditional streets and contemporary corridors. Markets are being spaces of social interactions, important centres for communities, festivals, political activism, etc. The informality results in these market streets as a result of extensions of the existing boundaries, migration, as well as the use of street furniture. The mall corridor defines one’s boundary of extend while creating a defined grid pattern, thus induces the idea of formal layout, which is efficient in terms of organisation and movement. Informal spaces in the street markets make the context alive with many layered interactions at different scales and order. Yet, they are inefficient due to lack of proper organisation. Formal spaces are being governed directly or indirectly by the idea of control and surveillance. Contemporary typology favours the idea of controlled environment ‘in an isolated box’ and are stacked vertically due to spatial limitations, thus losing social spaces, political, communal and festival gatherings. The idea of neighbourhood relationship is also lost. Critiquing these two typologies, Thesis aims at understanding patterns of these streets in their informal and formal behaviours, diagramming them and deriving an intermediate typology of an urban market which would negotiate between the patterns of these two typologies. Grey fields would eventually be chosen as a site which would be negotiate into the ideas of formal spaces from the contemporary corridors and informal/ social spaces from the traditional street markets, thus creating a new typology. The intermediate typology also then look at public interface and its social aspects.

SCENES OF THE STREET “The modernist model, involving whole sale demolition and reconstruction under the direction of planning officials isolated from public opinion came under fierce attack both, intellectually and on ground.” (Death and Life of great American cities, 1961 - Jane Jacob). Traditional street markets have layers which are gradually weaved upon their facades, forming various patterns of intersections of these intermediate spaces between the road (public) and the building (private) space.

The street is not a place where in various categories of activities occur but also embodies a principle of architectural order through which the public sphere of civic life is both represented and constituted. Traditional market streets follow a hierarchical order but sees the contradiction where in the idea of public domain sits within the private space of buildings and one parcel deep shops. The public domain then spills over intermediate spaces of plinths and footpaths. The private domain of the street i.e., the cars travel within the public space i.e., streets. The hierarchy of spaces/users are from private domain to public domain where in private cars accommodates the streets, then followed by the line of car parking, followed by the street vendors and hawkers on pavements, followed by the people moving along the streets on footpaths and then lined by the extensions of shop fronts spilling over the pavements. The facades are layered upon by activities of exchange of people, commodities through doors, windows, shop fronts etc. Sometimes, the pavements are lined with shops on both sides where in one of the sides are permanent and one of them is temporary with movable furniture and collapsible devices. These street furniture also are being layered where in the furniture is used by different kind of users along the day. The fixed furniture acts as a host to accommodate the parasitic vendors, which eventually use tangible furniture re-accommodate various kind of users along the day. The facades are layered by shop extensions, advertisements, other parasitic vendors along the host shops, exchange of materials and other kinds of social interactions etc. The commercial space may extend beyond one parcel deep, sometimes also extend on the intermediate floors above. The streets are being ‘viewed’ by the residents, who merely have physical connection with street activates, but engage in social interactive spaces along the line. The idea of having eye on streets from balconies and windows on facades to elements and people on the pedestrian path forms an interactive social connection. Facades of these streets have projections of building elements like cornices, decorative elements, balconies, advertisements, extensions, overhead wires, wall hangings, openings to small alleys, etc. The idea of display becomes a main feature where in the extensions of layers on facades becomes important for both, the shop as well as the consumer (people). Displays may be tangible in nature wherein they partially act as a parasite to the host facade, later then, either used by the other users or then may be folded back within the areas pertaining to the respective shops. “The facades are flushed with sidewalks, thus openings provide a means of direct visual, vocal and even tactile communications between the two domains, i.e., public and private. Thus, the street facade’s function is complex: it defines by containment and separation of interior and exterior, private and public, house and street, and yet provides for numerous kinds of passages between them.” (Death and Life of great American cities, 1961 - Jane Jacob). The street facade acts as exterior wall of private domain and interior walls of public domain. It considers street as a living room, where in the facades acts as exterior walls, covered with sky. The street acts as a container marked by street furniture, elements on facades acts as interior space within, transition of people and spaces of social interactions. “The street is perceived as a void and a volume of space contained by surrounding solids.” Therefore, the corridor streets as a figural void wherein the solid ground consists of buildings and other visual boundaries like trees, street furniture which defines the void. Figure ground relationships of traditional markets are more of solid and void is carved within it.

ABSTRACT AND DESIGN SYSTEMS

System diagrams caters to the attributes of the market systems. Being represented in form of Nolly diagrams, the attributes within these systems are connected with spatial and transitional links between them.

System diagrams represents virtual conditions of the street / corridor systems. Diagrams define the spatial links of these attributes of market systems, thus a system of such conditions is established.

System diagram thus explore these attributes and their respective spatial links, which then, descripts the existing scenarios within the urban street system.

Attributes of the system diagrams are then identified on a particular part of site. The diagram then overlaps with the existing form of the street markets/corridor markets. Thus, the market street/ corridor system shows overall attriutes of system diagrams over spatial conditions within market spaces.

Markets are defined by their spatial conditions they represent, evolved due to various factors of time and spatial activities. Attributes of different system diagrams are represented in form of spatial envelopes, voids, facades and other characteristics. Thus, these spaces are linked by many elements within the system. Architectonics of such systems represents these elements which shape the envelope of the market systems.

System patterns studies deep structure patterns of the existing scenario. Patterns formed between spatial conditions of the market systems are represented thuman radiusough diagrams and are being superimposed by patterns of transitional qualities such as movement, density, etc. Heirarchy of spatial qualities is established, the diagram thus elaborates on the a simplified form of the complex, heterogenious market system.

Abstract diagrams caters to attributes the system diagrams (patterns) into (thuman radiusough) new lens. They represent the nature of existing market condition into an abstract pattern. Design system diagrams are deep structure patterns froute of movement abstractattributes, showing spatial conditions of the attributes mentinoed in the abstract form.

Spatial systems are derived spaces froute of movement the derivative function of the deep structure diagrams.

Inter-relationship diagrams between two abstract programmes with their respective absolute spaces creates ‘condition of space’.

Condition of organistion, is about re-programming the space in terms of its spatial conditions

Normative forms are volumetric /spatial explorations of the abstract programmed space over the point-line-surface system.

Derivative functions of the deep structure diagrams forms abstract programme to the given absolute space.

These spatial conditions are governed by the derivative functions of the abstract programmes.

Condition of spatial arrangement, refers to the point-line-surface diagram of the grey field system, which is them juxtaposed with its appropriate spatial condition and its abstract function.

The absolute space is thus, an abstract spatial form, derived froute of movement the deep structure diagrams of design systems.

Thus, the functions are then developed around the folies- points of intensities along the site.

These forms are volumetrically placed around such folies, thus, spatial conditions on site are evolved. The programmatic plug-ins on to the site, thus is then later developed froute of movement these forms.

“At the scale of entire city, Brasilia thus realizes one of modern architecture’s fundamental planning objectives: to redefine the urban function of traffic by eliminating what is calls the corridor street, the street edged with continuous building facades. In its critique of cities and society of capitalism, modern architecture proposes the elimination of the street as a prerequisite of modern urban organization.” (Death and Life of great American cities, 1961 - Jane Jacob). The contemporary markets have a hierarchical order of the corridors. Buildings having larger volumes serve as a container where in the corridors becomes void spaces and shops are ground figures. The figure ground relationship is almost inversed within such spaces. The atrium, which marks the central or the entrance part, forms the most public space within, then followed by the corridors and least by shops. There is no intermediate space between these hierarchies, where in the boundaries are distinct, organized and establish a rigid pattern within the space. Though the building becomes private domain wherein the public activities dominates through its corridors and void spaces. The spaces have fixed functions throughout the day, hierarchy follows by the central void viewed by the surrounding multi- tiered corridors. The corridors have shops lined adjacent to each other, may be one parcel deep or more, are layered with displays and advertisements. Display becomes the main feature of these contemporary ‘streets’ where the glass serves as the idea of display and thus people are displayed within a display (layer of glass) from corridor streets. Facades are precisely joint with the corridors, display being its major function. Advertisements mainly commute the idea of consumer oriented exchange, where in there is no direct relationship between the consumer and the owner. The layers of interaction is limited to that particular shop itself where in, no social, notional boundaries overlap with each other. The idea of a void (atrium) within a container (envelope of the building) within a larger void; where in the atrium acts as the interior space and has its furniture. Escalators acts as a transition space from one floor to another, where in the overhead wires are replaced by hanging banners of advertisements. The shops being at the periphery and thus figure – ground relationship establishes a box devoid of its context around. Thus, the lack of overlapping of notional boundaries and social interactions with each other replaces the spontaneity of street encounters with fixed route of movement across the spaces. Contemporary markets eliminates the temporary nature of the streets and hence, the tangible street furniture or the layered parasitic elements are replaced with fixed, uni-functional elements like escalators, advertisement holders, display stations, information boards, signages, etc. Thus, the contemporary markets works as small units complied to form a system, within any given universal condition. Idea of eye on the corridor streets; where in the cameras are used for control and surveillance, thus also regulates the flow of people and their behaviors. Their route of movement is controlled by signages, advertisements, and thus, follows a systematic pattern within the space 77

Market pattern represents virtual conditions of the corridor systems. Diagrams define the spatial links of these attributes of market systems, thus a system of such conditions is established.

System diagram thus explore these attributes and their respective spatial links, which then, describes the existing scenarios within the urban corridor system.

Attributes of the system diagrams are then identified on a particular part of site. The diagram then overlaps with the existing form of the street corridor markets. Thus, the market corridor system shows overall attributes of system diagrams over spatial conditions within market spaces.

System patterns studies deep structure patterns of the existing scenario. Patterns formed between spatial conditions of the market systems are represented the human radius through diagrams and are being superimposed by patterns of transitional qualities such as movement, density, etc. Hierarchy of spatial qualities is established, the diagram thus elaborates on the a simplified form of the complex, heterogeneous market system.

Inter-relationship diagrams between two abstract programs with their respective absolute spaces creates ‘condition of space’.

Condition of organization, is about re-programming the space in terms of its spatial conditions

Normative forms are volumetric /spatial explorations of the abstract programmed space over the point-line-surface system.

Derivative functions of the deep structure diagrams forms abstract program to the given absolute space.

These spatial conditions are governed by the derivative functions of the abstract programs.

Condition of spatial arrangement, refers to the point-line-surface diagram of the gray field system, which is them juxtaposed with its appropriate spatial condition and its abstract function.

The scale of transit varies while moving froute of movement corridor to the shop and vice versa. i.e., the scale of transit; no. of people moving at that second of time is more in corridor and then are reduced while entering a space. Hence, the route of movement is amplified at various places

The atrium creates huge flux of people towards multi-tier corridors, across various heights, Route of movement thus becomes a constant; the pause point within Route of movement differs due to display, thus creating a transitional flux of Route of movement; and pause for display

ROM is constantly overlooked and indirectly controlled by Elements of Mall such as CCTVs, Display features and Viewers at the upper corridors, signage and security; thus ROM is controlled by elements within the mall system, hence Cursor-ed transit

linear transit - scaffold

The order of disposed facade is then placed in a directed ROM; creates a linear transit from point A to point B

Over grid structure determines the placement of the display and advts.

The scaffold defines the linear grid of the system which then induces transition along the linear path.

LINKAGES

ENVELOPE

linkages - envelope

The transition of linked from facade to facade, ROM forms a detoured transit, display/ facade froms the direct linkage

Contains the void (cubic space) where in the virtual interaction happens within a spatial system.

The core forms a vertical link from the ground space to the programmed space above which thus induces virtual conjugate in the pattern of transition.

NEGOTIATION

REPETITION

negotiation- repetition

The transit path convolute by negotiating with the direct and indirect (elements of control) of mall

The order of repetition creates spaces for convoluted transit to happen.

Series of display are enclosed in a cubic system which allows the transition to negotiate - between the varied structure of display.

The connector transects through the induced consecutive follie system; display (scaffold) thus directing the route of transition through the connector.

Structural core thus directs the transition in z-z direction; Display-facade thus marks the spatial boundary for the programmed envelope to persist in the system.

Display envelopes the follie structured-core along the route of transition. The core thus represents the vertical transit of people and services while the route of movement negotiates between these follied - structures.

The structure thus also becomes a facade for the induced transit; the connector conects accross the scaffold while the facade thus then directs the transition. With respect to the follies, facade also acts as a pseduo structural element.

The follie represents the vertical core of the programme, also characterised by the surrounding virtual set of columns; facade represents the horizontal structure to enhance the programmatic activities.

The follies becomes a structure of the system, covered by elements of facade and display; where in the two consecutive facades enhances a programmatic space to evolve where as the negative space of the structure acts as a service core.

The follie (structure) acts as a porous permeable membrane which divides the space of inner void and the outer void; thus also changes the nature of transtion. The existing columns and the steel girder above thus represent the programmatic connectors along the existing structure and facade. The follie thus encloses the services required for the facade.

The cubic space is enclosed by the follie structure and thus the cubic space permits the flow of connectors and floor plates to transit from one place to another.

The follie encloses a cubic space virtually, and the connector transects through the system; facade thus induces transit at various scales.

T H E G R E Y SCA P E “Grey field land is economically obsolescent, outdated, failing or underused real estate land and the ‘Sea of Asphalt’ (vast parking areas), that often accompany such sites.” Spaces like ‘dead malls’ or ‘ghost boxes’ classify under such sites which were once affluent regional commercial centers and super malls, are now just empty shells of “concrete box”. Such scenarios develops when the anchor shops or major tenants leave the premises or the mall fails to compete the other large scale malls coming within the vicinity. Economic inflations of the rents, low maintenance, poor management facilities, lack of proper organization and match of proper brands and outlets also serve as many of the reasons for shutting down of such spaces. Such spaces, thus, are now under-utilized as public spaces. U.S.A. witnessed closure of 1200 malls, while the percentage of Mumbai’s gray fields rounds up to almost 52%. Malls, have been built with huge complexes of approx 50000sq. m of area, organized parkings and other facilities. Such spaces, usually are converted into commercial offices, sometimes residential areas also. Many spaces have been also converted into educational institutions and communal centers, thus, rejuvenating the spaces within. This later also increases the activities of the neighborhood premises, develops the locality as well as provides employment.

URB A N IZE D G R E Y F I E L DS Urban Infrastructure consists of many elements; pedestrian infrastructure, vehicular infrastructure, markets and commercial infrastructures, offices, elevated corridors, parks, etc. Many of these infrastructures are abandoned due to various factors of transport and commute. An urban form thus faces these dual conditions of spatial configurations. Sky walks, spaces below the flyovers, many malls, parking lots, defunct buildings thus a the “abandoned sites” within the dense urban fabric, and hence classify under ‘urban gray fields.’ Such urban infrastructures, being produced at the public cost, being abandoned by various factors, lie vacant or become hide out sources for crime. Hence, thesis aims at re-using, re-adapting such urban infrastructure, by plug-in programs, or re-transporting the flexible infrastructure to its suitable place and form.

Location: Culver City, California Program: Parking Garage and Offices Size: 16,663 gross square feet Dates: 1999-2014 • The Pterodactyl is an office building for an advertising agency atop a parking garage in a complex of new and remodelled buildings in Culver City, Los Angeles. • The perceived relationship of the two uses from the primary west elevation emphasizes the office building presence and minimizes the visibility of the parking garage. -The original program of the building - with site locations and reasons for getting it ruined/unoccupied: • •

•

The parking structure is the conceptual podium for the office building. Buildings in the area are three floors or less, so the office building on the roof affords spectacular views of the entire city from downtown to the Santa Monica Mountains to the Westside of Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean. The 800-car, four-level parking structure is straightforward and inexpensive construction – steel frame, metal decks, regular bays, and ingress/egress ramps at opposite ends of the west face of the project. The required fireproofing of the structural steel was treated as a finish material and precisely applied to the steel frame. The original four-level parking garage was built in 1998. The structure was designed to anticipate a future building, with steel columns extended above the top floor plate. With the addition of the Pterodactyl in 2015, the final element of the Wedgewood Holly complex is complete

-Method of expression of Re-using / adapting to the existing building • The design premise required a strategic removal of portions of the original buildings in order to establish discrete new building identities, allow sufficient space for landscaping, and accommodate both pedestrian and automobile circulation on the site. • The complex consists of five buildings, all designed by EOMA: Stealth, Umbrella, Slash, Backslash and now, Pterodactyl. • The office building is formed by the intersection of nine rectangular boxes, lifted one level above the garage roof, stacked either on top of, or adjacent to each other, along the west edge of the garage roof. • The nine boxes organize essential program elements connected by an interior, second floor bridge. • The underside of the boxes is cut to accommodate an open plan on the main office floor below. The boxes are supported on the steel column grid extended from the parking structure. Description of new building now in terms of - Programs Public space and events - -----• The main office floor is rectangular in plan and enclosed with a glass wall that extends vertically to meet the elevated boxes one level above. • The main floor is an entirely open plan, while the second floor is subdivided between open working areas and enclosed conference rooms and private offices, as the program requires.

-Method of expression of Re-using / adapting to the existing building • A low-rise construction was realised across the full length of the façade on the south side of the RAG building in the sixties. • The roof of this low rise formed a perfect roof terrace for the adjoining living rooms and kitchens. It was obvious that the living rooms should be situated under these beautiful roof structures. • As the building is so large, the plan with a terrace on the roof of the adjoining construction was a virtually perfect solution for the section adjacent to the facade. • An open internal street in which the roof terraces facing towards south were created. • The windows, doors and existing elements could again be 100% put to use. • In the new inner street, we not only made the roof terraces but also all the necessary doors and windows. • Wherever the upper floors meet the original steel windows in the outer façade, a detail that allows the 30 centimetre-thick concrete package to correspond exactly with the original horizontal window frames was devised. • The existing details were incorporated in newly built elements. • The inner street has a private-public character and is the property of the residents. • They all live together under one roof, but there is no problem with privacy as the properties are southfacing. • The living room wall of the neighbouring home is visible from the roof terraces of the properties in the inner street, with above it glass right up to the apex of the roof. The new window frames and facades of the inner street are all made of wood. • Although initially typical steel windows and doors, as were originally used in the building, budget cuts ultimately forced to search for alternatives. • The wooden window frames turned out to be a great improvement. • The building stands upon an enormous basement that is half underground. • This cellar was originally used to house supply and drainage pipes, maintenance and was also the foundation for the machines. • As all existing windows and doors were based on this height, the original level after completely demolishing the cellar was reinstated. • The living spaces on the ground floor are thus a metre above ground level and have a view of the surroundings, yet are not overlooked. • The cellars are low, yet very serviceable as bicycle cellars and storage spaces. • A ramp on the east side of the building provides access to the cellars adjacent to the central section under the inner street. • The construction of the floor is as thin as possible and includes a large atrium with stairs. The atrium also provides two apartments on the ground floor with their own balconies. Description of new building now in terms of - Programs Public space and events - -----• The new building is a low rise residential building. Language - Elements - any other elements (will include plans, sections, diagrams) etc. • The roof construction with riveted rafters, concrete coffering (‘bims’ plates) and large industrial steel windows give the building a unique character. • Instead of imitating the old and building upon it, the numerous large glass surfaces are clearly distinguished from the existing elements. 141

-Method of expression of Re-using / adapting to the existing building • Ricardo Bofill defined the space by demolishing certain structures, cleaning cement, exposing previously concealed structures and creating the landscape architecture by planting various plants such as eucalyptus, palms, olive trees and cypresses; renovation works lasted nearly two years. • 8 towers remained, which were then occupied for various programs. • Bofill imagined the future spaces and created a layout according to the different aesthetic and plastic predispositions and were present within the factory. • A compendium of surrealist elements; paradoxical stairs that climbed to nowhere, the absurdity of certain elements that hung over voids, compelling but useless spaces of strange proportion but magical because of their tension and disproportion. • Elements of abstraction; pure volumes which reveal themselves at times broken and impure as well as elements of brutalism; abrupt treatment and sculptural qualities of the materials. • Being seduced by the elements of contradiction and the vagueness of the space Ricardo Bofill decided to preserve the factory and modify the original brutality (due to the coarse of nature and the former program), and sculpt it like a work of art. • All these magical elements stand in the midst of transformed gardens which were once the yard of a cement factory. -Description of new building now in terms of - Programs - Public space and events - -----• Ricardo Bofill identified the program; The Cement Factory was to be used as architectural offices, archives, a model laboratory, and exhibition space, an apartment for him, as well as guest rooms and gardens. Language - Elements - any other elements (will include plans, sections, diagrams) etc. • Various spaces came into view, and the structures were given a use; their characteristics are what assigned their new program: the cathedral, the garden, and the silos. • The renovated construction incorporates various languages from history of Architecture, a cultured language in opposition to vernacular architecture with windows, doors, stairs and false perspectives and applied them to the exterior walls and some interiors. • Slowly with the help of Catalan craftsmen the factory was transformed but will always remain as unfinished work.

Urban street market forms a part of the fabric of the city scape. City concentrates on such informal sectors as temporary, thus, tries to eradicate from its urban system. The incapability of defining language, adopting western methods of urbanization of fabric as a part of ‘Developing Modernization’. The image of a latter urban market is concieved as an isolated box, deprived from its contextual relationships. Emerging Grey fields, thus results in that these urban market spaces could not be derived under an Utopian condition of an ideal glass blocks. What we perceive as such huge volumes of air- conditioned space, as a conceptual Utopian idea of market where, ‘in a market, notional boundaries does not exist’. The proposed market, enhances a new language of socio-cultural exchange. Diagramming various aspects of the market systems, the typology mediates within bi-polar conventions of the current scenario. The project, thus aims at re-inventing a new typology of urban market scape through its condition of program an language. To distribute the programmatic requirements over the total site in a regular arrangement of points of intensity, designated as ‘folies’. ( ref. Parc de la Villette, Event cities 2, Bernard Tschumi, 2000 ). The columnar grid of mall, is then, being referred to such ‘folies’; for even programmatic distribution all over the spatial grid system of the site. Deconstructions the abstract program (condition of space and organization) into intense area of activities, placed according to existing site characters and placed over the existing overlayed folie- grid system; which permits maximum movements through site, emphasizing discoveries and presenting visitors with a variety of program and events. The concept for Urban Market consists of series of related neutral objects ie., columns ( which are placed in a structural grid, ‘folies’ ) whose repetitive nature allows them to be considered as a base for a plug-in function. Thus, in its basic, structural form, each ‘folie’ is bare undifferentatied and ‘repetitive’ in character. Each folie constitutes with its individual sign, that indicates its independent programmatic concerns and possiilities while having common structural and service core; which inter-connects different building systems. Interplay of themes ( programmatic variations ) allows the Urban Market to read symbolically and structuraly different, thus allowing maximum programmatic flexibility.

The idea of fragmenting and deconstructing the volume after its division with respective floor plates by establishing a grid; referencing from existing structural systems and columns. A notional grid is also then extended over the site context, taking the reference lines from the existing grid system. The diagram then represents the exiting grid system + the induced grid on site context with the corresponding circulatory pattern of site.

Lines form virtual network for establishing programmatic connectors over the site – follies system. Points of gathering / density of people are mapped along the follies-system, in a 3-dimensional form; establishing a relation between the programmatic connectors and the follies-d structure circulatory system. The density of people, points and frames of the programmatic connectors determines the further placement of fragments in form of architectural elements of facade, floor plate and connector.

T R A N S E C T S

Transects are virtual route of movement; established on site as ‘line connectors’. These line connectors connects the spaces of active density over the site, also connecting back or engaging with the existing grey field site. The imaginary lines thus, induces route of movement. Transects through these imaginary/ virtual route of movement (connectors) are represented spatially within the series of diagrams. The transect diagram thus shows spatial conditions of the space connector transects through; also establishing the relationship with the corresponding spatal density. Fragments, then are imposed on site according to the given spatial conditions of the particular transect; to enhance movement on site.
