CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION


14

1.1 introduction

Architecture, being a repository of human interaction with land and topography, has responded positively when it has laid its foundation on them and responded awfully when it has been taken into cognizance. Any area which lies 600 meters above the sea level is considered as hilly. The architecture of hilly regions, where the land is predominantly mountainous, often presents an amicable picture of interaction with local climate and available materials. But erecting architectural buildings can be a challenge in the hilly and mountainous regions as the construction needs to be strong enough to resist the topography of the land, bear the load of the building along with being aesthetically appealing to the tourists and locals alike.

1.2 Aim

To get a thorough understanding and exploration about architecture on terrain

1.3 Objective

• To understand building relation with terrain • Understand types of responses ,Construction , materials and methods. • To understand means and consequence of holistic design Approach towards Terrain Architecture • To understand terrain configuration

1.4 Scope

• As i am working on terrain it will give me more opportunities to explore in terms of spaces and their interconnections • For native people this can be a new source of income • Local people get employment

1.5 Limitation

1.6 Methodology

• • • • • •

Geological and climatic consideration Landsliding Heavy rainfall Soil softening Desing must fit with surrouing culture Difficulty in transportation.

1.7 Hydrotherapy Center + Thermal baths

Hydrotherapy, formerly called hydropathy and also called water cure is a part of alternative medicine (particularly naturopathy), occupational therapy, and physiotherapy, that involves the use of water for pain relief and treatment.It take advantage of the physical properties of water, such as temperature and pressure, for therapeutic purposes, to stimulate blood circulation and treat the symptoms of certain diseases.

Chichu Art Museum was constructed in 2004 as a site rethinking the relationship between nature and people. Chichu means underground and the entire building is dug into the hillside. Artworks by Claude Monet, James Turrell, and Walter De Maria are on permanent display in this building designed by Tadao Ando.

The client, Vladislav Doronin, explained to Zaha Hadid, “I want to wake up in the morning and just see blue sky.” Hadid replied, “You realise you have to be above the trees?” The form of the residence is defined by its natural topography with fluid geometries emerging from the landscape and remaining partially embedded within the hillside.

Formerly a hunting and summer guest house dilapidated from years of vacancy, the old growth Douglas Fir framing lumber was salvaged for re-use and the 100 year old rock walls that traverse the property were preserved.

CHAPTER 3 CASE STUDIES

3.1 Therme vals

Architects: Peter zumthor Year: 1993-1996 Location: Vals, Canton Graubunden, Switzerland Materials: RCC , Stone

3.1.1 Introduction

The building is part of the hotel complex in Vals. Constructed over a thermal spring, it serves the hotel guests, the local community and other visitors in search of the healing and relaxing properties of hot water.

3.1.2 History

In the 1960s a German property developer, Karl Kurt Vorlop, built a hotel complex with over 1,000 beds to take advantage of the naturally occurring thermal springs and the source, which provides the water for Valser mineral water, sold in Switzerland. After the developer went bankrupt, the village of Vals bought the five hotels in development in 1983 and commissioned a hydrotherapy centre at the middle of the five hotels on the source of the thermal springs. The spa facility was built between 1993 and 1996, designed by Peter Zumthor.

Figure : 26, Therme vals

3.1.3 Site context The village vals is in the vally and surrounded by mountains , great landscape and good climate. The site is located near the hotel complex and surrounded by the hotels and villas . The only east side facade is open. Figure :27, building location in vals

3.1.4 Design restriction To avoid spoiling the view of the guests in the main hotel ,The commission refused to allow the architect to built upwords

3.1.5 Concept

Figure :30, Building Articulation

The concept used by Zumthor to design this building next to the hotel, was to create a structure in the form of quarry or cave. Inspired from the natural surroundings, the bath house was located below a grass roof, half of the structure is buried in the hillside. The other idea is focused on the geology of the site itself and comprises an extremely distant memory almost prehistoric, According to Zumthor Stone and water reflects the topography of the site and their connection is magical. The baths were designed to be timeless, to blend in completely with their surroundings, Zumthor achieved this through profound understanding of idea, form, material, detail, context and the realization of his envisioned end. Design was based around the experience of the baths, the atmosphere that the building would create for the user. Zumthor believed that “rooms may owe their existence to an idea, but in the end, they consist of substance, of material that often does not obey any idea but rather, wants to come into its own”. There are a variety of approaches taken when dealing with the body’s relationship to the thermal baths, which may be classified in to three distinct categories, those being: conflicts, sensual engagement, and architecture as body.

Figure : 31, Conceptual sketch by peter Zumthor

3.1.6 Conceptual Sketches of internal spaces

Figure : 32, Conceptual sketch by peter Zumthor

The wish to ensure a delight in experiencing water at differenttemperatures and in different spatial situations with variations in the lighting, the colors, the climate, the materials, and the sound; close contact with stone and water; immersing oneself in water for relaxation, as a ritual. Purification. Peace. No noisy attractions, no intrusive stimulation, only the sensation of one’s own body undergoing subtle change.


32

3.1.6 Conceptual Sketches of internal spaces

Figure : 33, Conceptual sketch by peter Zumthor

Stone tables, closed caves and a great hollow between the tables, open to the skies and the panorama view these three elements are the basis of the spatial repertoire that we worked out for the baths. The quarry pictures underwentchange; they began to acquire the shape of architectural structures and usable rooms.

• He Responded to this imperative restriction by sinking this building into the slope and the flat roof covered with grass makes the building blend with the landscape ,Only geometrical patterns reveals its presents. • The roof was designed by 15 simple units. • All units are different each on has a large outcroping roof section


37

3.1.10 Building Structure

• The overhanging concrete slab is held in horizontal position by metal cables that carry the strain to the ground. • The tie beams are invisible and cast in second layer of concrete or held in concrete between two layers of stone in unit walls.

• The 15 units are seprated by 8 cm of gaps and this gap is natural light entry point for the building. • The gap is covered by glass panels for dust or weather proofing

3.1.12 Material

“Water loves stone and Stone loves water “- Peter zumthor Zumthor used the local Valser Quartzite stone to celebrate the mountain landscape characteristic, as well as the spring water sourced directly from the site, worked together to create a strong foundation for regional expression. This material makes the building looks strong, resistant, even violent, and rough just like the alpine landscape. • 60 kilometer stone used in this building. • It’s actually the arrangement of three element of varying but whose total is always 15 CM.

Architects: Győző Czigler , Eugene Schmitterer Year: 1909-1913 Renovation: 1927 Location: Budapest, Hungary Architecture style: Neo-Baroque

3.2.1 Introduction

The Szechenyi Baths in Budapest is a breathtakingly beautiful thermal bath and, with 18 pools, one of the largest spas in Hungary. The warm medicinal water comes from a natural source and is known for its healthy and healing effects. Located in the city park of Budapest.

3.2.2 History

The bath, located in the City Park, was built in Neo-Baroque style to the design of Győző Czigler.Construction began on May 7, 1909 with designs by architect Eugene Schmitterer. The total area covered was 6,220 square metres (67,000 sq ft). The complex was expanded in 1927 to its current size, with 3 outdoor and 15 indoor pools.
