LITTLE GREEN Bangalore

CAFE

LGC is an alcove along the busy street. One steps up towards the cafe from behind the Green Lime plastered wall standing along the pathway. Sloping roof giving shade in the sun, wooden sitting with planters on outside create a cozy yet open nook for people walking into the cafe. After this narrow outdoor area a seamless gray flooring walks you into the cafe. This highly energy efficient Oxide floor finish creates a continuous surface beneath the feet, carrying its little imperfections as a beauty of human hand. The naturally breathable Earth and Lime Hand-Plastered walls of cafe enfold people within, providing healthy environment with clean, toxin free and naturally cooled air inside. Wall behind the Bake House displays of range of organic products on a backdrop of Charcoal coloured plaster. The various shades of the plasters on the walls of cafe create a play of colours ; on the other hand every plaster has a different texture and feel to it making the walls playful for everyone around them. Now walking towards the inside one is welcomed with comfortable seats. It ensconces people along the open windows letting the subtle natural light into the inside. The Little Green Cafe is an effort put together creating a dialogue for sensitive, responsible approach towards our living environment. M.I.E. Team has put the best to create an atmosphere which can take one closer to the roots.

ly, resulting in a beautifully smooth surface free from grout lines. This lime plaster is made waterproof through both its inherent properties and its application technique. The olive oil soap that is rubbed into the surface of the product chemically reacts with the lime to form calcium separate, which results in a surface that is both water and scratch resistant as well as hard and durable. It makes a stylish alternative to traditional tiles in bathrooms. The water-resistant plaster is applied seamlessly with no grout lines, and its smooth surface is resistant to mould. The seamless application allows bespoke waterproof features to be created while maintaining a timeless appeal.

WHEN IS SPACE ? , Jaipur The exhibition explores the work of Architecture BRIO through different perspectives. Physical models explore the different typological modes of modus operandi employed to respond to various geographies. Architectural black and white drawings emphasize rather than on functional programmatic considerations, on spatial experiential qualities that are universal as well attempting to magnify specific immediate character of its context. An object that functions as a wall element, is a hybrid of the former two; an object that straddles between the volumetric abstraction of space in relation to both geography and experiential sequencing.

BHAVAN’S STUDENT CENTER, Mumbai Campus of Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan Institute founded by independence activist and educationists K. M. Munshi is spread over 0.18 sq.km located in suburb of Andheri, Mumbai. The process of design for Student Activity Centre in the campus involves a rigorous follow up of syntactical process to achieve the architectural outcome. The process has been broken down into logical and fragmented steps staring from s.w.o.t. analysis of site, master-planning, to exploring various organizations on site through model making exercise. Bhavans core philosophy believes in a quote from Rigveda saying, ‘Let all the global thoughts come to us from every side’. This results into the coexistence of various intellectual, socio political, ecological, spiritual and cultural platforms together in the institutions of Bhavans, including the oldest campus of Andheri. The core idea of project is to consciously connect all the individuals on campus to this multidisciplinary environment around. The intervention designed to bring this exposure to eyes has to be integrated as a part of one’s daily life and routes on campus, and not just as one more generic building put onto the campus map. The architectural form is aimed to bridge this gap between people and Bhavan’s larger idea. The student center is located on the Temple site. This temple and its surrounding has always been a place for students to sit and study, complete assignments or hangout together. The site has lots of shortcut pathways created by people on campus. Biologically diverse and unique trees are one of the most important part of the temple area. It is a buffer zone for outsiders, senior citizens coming in here to access rest of the campus. The building molds itself conserving these unique site conditions and turning them into an opportunity to bridge people and Bhavans. The intervention creates a central zone for activities on campus, breaking the monotony of high-rises around. It welcomes people through multiple entries with its porosity, establishes visual connections as well as sustains the existing trees within its spaces.

“tell me the stories, oh thorn-bush, of the mighty merchants of the Indus, of the nights and the days of prosperous times, are you in pain now, of thorn-bush? because they have departed: in protest, cease to flower: oh thorn-bush, how old were you when the river was in full-flood? have you seen any way-farers who could be a match of the banjaras? true, the river has gone dry and worthless plants have begun to flourish on the brink, the elite merchants are on decline, and the tax collectors have disappeared, the river is littered with mud and the banks only grows straws the river has lost its old strength, you big fish, you did not return when the fish had its flow now, its too late, you will soon be caught for fisherman have all blocked the ways the white flake on the water: its days are on the wane” _ Shah Abdul Latif Bhilai “language transcends us, and yet we speak” _ Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Phenomenology of Perception

A Nature Observatory is proposed within this grassland area, close to the City of Bhuj and in an area which sees a high seasonal migration of Flamingos. The Primary goal of the observatory is to record and create a data base of the fragile ecology, the flora and the fauna of the region, in order to preserve it and at the same time to provide a place for the general public understand this ecology as well as to observe the migratory birds without disturbing their natural habitat.

IN MIDST OF CHOREOGRAPHY, Harnai Machine for devouring _Project brief “ The machine’ is a metaphor of assemblage- of a relationship of parts within a whole- of a functional logic. Machine forms are varied and expressive- expressing both function and desire. The desiring machine is a programme. Harnai is a place machine- at the edge of the sea. It is organized to the tide- one arm, and the beach extending to receive its creatures. The long line of spaces and activities are like the many parts working towards some secret organization and the auction; a silent code that galvanises bodies at a precise time that is unannounced but felt in the tension and excitement in the straining fishermen’s bodies. All creatures are tied together by space and teeming towards a choreographed profuse production of lives and dreams.” The extension to the existing wall in sea connecting koliwada to the lighthouse is the outcome of the process of abstracting a machine of devouring into the built form. The human body gets embedded into the wall moving itself in a rhythm while looking onto the waters. “

ON THE EDGE OF A CITY, Kanheri caves â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kanheriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; means a black mountain. A group of rock-cut monuments laying up high in the mountains into the forest of borivali national park are famously known as kanheri caves. The enormous carved sculptures and images mesmerize one. These ancient caves of Buddhist origin are preserved into the forests in the metropolitan of mumbai. The studio exercise is to recreate the essence of experience of the space. The journey from entering the flattened and low scale cave mouth up to reaching the surprisingly enormous hollow interiors of it, is depicted here. While standing at the entrance of a cave and looking outwards to the skyline of the city, very much made me feel isolated! The effect of isolation was calming. The journey led to the discovery of a complete unfamiliar and macroscopic way to look at the city even though when one is the micro element of it.

DAHISAR RIVER EDGE REVIVAL, S.G.N.P. Mumbai

R Ward : Mumbai

Location Map

Site of Research : S.N.G.P.

R Ward : S.N.G.P.

Sanjay Gandhi National Park is notable, being the major national park existing within a metropolis of Mumbai, Maharashtra. Its a large green corridor on the landscape of mumbai region acting as breathing system to this highly populated and industrialized city. It a home for numerous endemic, exotic and endangered species of flora and fauna. Along with its natural treasure the park also holds the important historic trails of Buddhist architecture which go upto 4th century bc. SNGP is one of the most visited tourist parks in the world.

Transformation Analysis on Timeline : Waterlines in S.N.G.P. Along the ongoing process of development, the green layer along the edges of SNGP has been highly disturbed. The boundaries have been encroached by slums and other kinds of residential as well as industrial projects. Many species are being affected by the process of urbanization and its after effects. The water bodies in the park flowing through the park coming towards city have gone narrow as well as polluted after the extensive growth of the city. The area of park has been reduced notably along the edge side. These changes can be seen in the progressive development plans of the city. So this concludes us towards to the need of making conscious efforts for the conservation and protection of the park.

Transformation Analysis on Timeline : Green Cover of S.N.G.P.

The respective landscape project starts from the documentation of present conditions then the historical analysis, case studies, research for the proposal and ends towads proposing a landscape intervention on the site. The area of interest and application of the proposal is the threshold of dahisar river flowing through the SNGP and entering the urban area of Mumbai

BIOFILTERS : RESERCH AND PROPOSITION Sanjay gandhi national park has various kinds of edge conditions. The particular edge condition of park, where dahisar river enters the urban area is the area of interest for the project. This edge is a threshold between the natural forest and urban development. This part of the river is highly polluted due the various human activities happening around and in the river. Also the course of river is getting narrowed. The existing dhobi ghat pollutes the river most. Various chemicals enter and remain the river cause. All the washing and other activities take place in the course of river to use the existing water source. In urban areas that have a high percentage of land covered by roofs, streets, and parking lots, rain rapidly runs off into lakes and rivers through drainage ways and storm sewers. This urban runoff contains pollutants such as trash, pet wastes, lawn fertilizers, and herbicides, as well as oils, heavy metals, and other pollutants from vehicles. In addition, the large volume of storm water that rapidly enters river from paved surfaces can produce flooding that erodes stream banks and destroys natural habitat. When toxic substances enter a body of water they will be dissolved, become suspended in water or get deposited on the bed of the water body. The resulting water pollution causes the quality of the water to deteriorate and affects aquatic ecosystems pollutants can also seep downed effect groundwater deposits. Sewage and industrial wastes are discharged into the rivers because of this, pollutants enter ground water, rivers, and other water bodies. Such water, which ultimately ends up in our households, is often highly contaminated and can carry disease-causing microbes..

Case Study : Isar Planned City, River Banks An urban river restoration project has been in progress on the River Isar since, the beginning of the year 2000. In all, the joint project of the State of Bavaria and the City of Munich is more than just the restoration stretch of the River Isar extending over 8 kilometres in the Munich area. Within the scope of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Isar Planâ&#x20AC;? local flood protection is improved and ecologically valuable habitats for fauna and flora are restored. The design of the inner city was to break up the monochrome picture. The design selected favored urban designing. At first the Architect Irene Burkhart and her colleagues continued the organic shapes of the southern Isar landscape, but closer to the city center they align them into a straight riverbank. On the east bank, they set up alluvial meadows where games and sports can still be played. Offshore, a row of platforms in the river continues all the way to the hydraulically important weir at the Detaches Museum. The river platforms divide a branch from the Isar, here a racing stream. The design is simple and has severe formal language, which creates. The channeled riverbed was extended, and the riverbanks leveled and redesigned to give them a more natural character: areas of shallow water and deeper pools, rapids and calmer areas of water were integrated. It is commendable that the river landscape again provides a habitat for flora and fauna. A landscape picture that is urban. The banks and the elements built into them seem like part of the river.

Case Study : Managua Linear Park The original landscape master plan was developed by Saide Kahtouni was implemented in 1990s the master plan incorporates public recreational zones as well as the recuperation of the riparian groves in relation to regeneration of the stream which transforms into an urban channel. Recently, the Sao Paula city council develop a project with a focus on pedestrian access and the creation of new urban connection.

Proposed Biofilters : Dahisar River HYDRILLA (ESTHWAITE WATERWEED, WATERTHYME OR HYDRIL) is a genus of aquatic plant. The stems grow up to 1–2 m long. The leaves are arranged in whorls of two to eight around the stem, each leaf 5–20 mm long and 0.7–2 Mm broad, with serrations or small spines along the leaf margins; the leaf midrib is often reddish when fresh. It is monoecious (sometimes dioecious), with male and female flowers produced separately on a single plant; the flowers are small, with three sepals and three petals, the petals 3–5 mm long, transparent with red streaks. It reproduces primarily vegetatively by fragmentation and by rhizomes and turions (overwintering), and flowers are rarely seen. They have air spaces to keep them upright. Hydrilla has a high resistance to salinity compared to many other freshwater associated aquatic plants.

SPIRODELA POLYRHIZA, living in pond, differs in their development from terrestrial plants in their morphology and physiology. They do mainly vegetative growth called fronds in spring and summer time, while they switch into a dormant phase represented by turions in autumn and winter due to nutrition starvation and freezing temperature. Turions could also be induced by plant hormone aba in the lab. Researchers reported that turions were rich in anthocyanin pigmentation and had a density that submerged them to the bottom of liquid medium. Transmission electron microscopy of turions showed in comparison to fronds shrunken vacuoles, smaller intercellular space, and abundant starch granules surrounded by thylakoid membranes. Turions accumulated more than 60% starch in dry mass after two weeks of aba treatment.

PHRAGMITES, THE COMMON REED is a large perennial grass found in wetlands throughout temperate and tropical regions of the world. Phragmites australis is sometimes regarded as the sole species of the genus phragmites, though some botanists divide phragmites australis into three or four species. In particular the south asian khagra reed – phragmites karka – is often treated as a distinct species. Phragmites australis is one of the main wetland plant species used for phytoremediation water treatment. Waste water from lavatories and greywater from kitchens is routed to an underground septic tank-like compartment where the solid waste is allowed to settle out. The water then trickles through a constructed wetland or artificial reed bed, where bioremediation bacterial action on the surface of roots and leaf litter removes some of the nutrients inbiotransformation. The water is then suitable for irrigation, groundwater recharge, or release to natural watercourses.

EICHHORNIA CRASSIPES Commonly known as (common) water hyacinth, is an aquatic plant native to the amazon basin, and is often considered a highly problematic invasive species outside its native range. Water hyacinth is a free-floating perennial aquatic plant (or hydrophyte) native to tropical and sub-tropical south america. With broad, thick, glossy, ovate leaves, water hyacinth may rise above the surface of the water as much as 1 meter in height. The leaves are 10–20 cm across, and float above the water surface they have long, spongy and bulbous stalks. The feathery, freely hanging roots are purple-black. An erect stalk supports a single spike of 8-15 conspicuously attractive flowers, mostly lavender to pink in colour with six petals. The roots of eichhornia crassipes naturally absorb pollutants, including lead, mercury, and strontium-90, as well as some organic compounds believed tobe carcinogenic, in concentrations 10,000 times that in the surrounding water. Water hyacinths can be cultivated for waste water treatment. Water hyacinth is reported for its efficiency to remove about 60–80 % nitrogen (fox et al. 2008) And about 69% of potassium from water (zhou et al. 2007). The roots of water hyacinth were found to remove particulate matter and nitrogen in a natural shallow eutrophicated wetland.

AZOLLA PINNATA is a species of fern known by several common names, including feathered mosquito fern and water velvet. It is an aquatic plant, its frond floating upon the surface of the water. It grows in quiet and slow-moving water bodies, because swift currents and waves break up the plant. This is a small fern with a triangular frond measuring up to 2.5 Centimetres in length which floats on the water. The frond is made up of many rounded or angular overlapping leaves each 1 or 2 millimetres long. They are green, blue-green, or dark red in colour and coated in tiny hairs, giving them a velvety appearance. The hairs make the top surface of the leaf water-repellent, keeping the plant afloat even after being pushed under. A water body may be coated in a dense layer of the plants, which form a velvety mat those crowds out other plants. The hairlike roots extend out into the water. The leaves contain the cyanobacterium anabaena azollae, which is a symbiont that fixes nitrogen from the atmosphere that the fern can use. This gives the fern the ability to grown habitats that are low in nitrogen.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the obsession for the metropolis, especially in post independence India these cities, that were often the centre of intellectual and cultural life have been often forgotten in the narrative of of the nation. The specific history and cultures of these cities have been forgotten, not only by the nation at large, but often even by the local communities themselves, who see no value in the buildings, streets and neighborhoods that they see around them, and instead long for the promise of the metropolis. This imagination has led to the decline of the small town as an intellectual and cultural center over the city of Allahabad is at the very tip of the Doab where two rivers Ganga and Jamuna meet. As a result this city has been one of the most important religious centers of the Hindu religion- being the site OF the Kumbh mela. Subsequent developments include the Mughal emperor Akbar establishing a fort and a larger settlement on the banks of the Yamuna, Later colonial development took place to the North of this older city separated by the railway line. This made Allahabad an important intellectual and cultural center for the region. Today, as we see dramatic increase in the urbanization of the country, the city of Allahabad too is experiencing the pressures of sudden growth. This growth is often unregulated and is rarely mindful of the historical narrative that has given the city itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique character.â&#x20AC;? _AR. ROHAN SHIV-
