ABSTRACT

The primary function of a memorial is to “remind” and the function of a museum is to “reflect or explain” about something. Memorials is reminders of a painful past. It’s difficult for a memorial to remind visitors of a tragedy without reminding them of the pain. The Memorials play a vital role in marking significant people, moments, or tragedy. Furthermore memorial architecture for the dead is a uniquely emotional type of design and often reveals much about a certain culture or group of people.

Mumbai, one of the industrial capital’s cities of the world and full of activity city, has witnessed a series of terror attacks over the last two decades. The 2008 Mumbai terror attacks referred as "26/11" drew widespread global condemnation and killed 166 people, in addition to wounding more than 300 people. Moreover, in the Mumbai city 9 attacks were happened over the period of time in that most affective attack was 2008 tragedy.in which attacks were done at 6 places (Taj Hotel, Chhatrapati Shivaji terminus railway station, Cama and Albless Hospital, Oberoi Trident Hotel, Nariman House, Cafe Leopold) mainly.

The project is proposing a memorial to tribute those people who were died in the 26/11 attacks at Mumbai tragedy. memorial has to be nearby attacks place or else centre of the attacks place where people can easily visit the place and remember those heart-breaking tragedy.

SYNOPSIS

2.1 INTRODUCTION “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but not live by them” -JOHN KENNEDY Memorials play an essential role in marking significant people, moments, or tragedy. In recent years, they have become exaltations of event by attempting to express unimaginable horrors in poetic and beautiful ways. The issue with the many forms that memorials take is that they seek to calm the immediate reaction and hurt of an event, an understandable societal reaction, but one that often feels rote and respect.

2.1.1 ABOUT PROJECT In November at date of 26-11-2008 the city of dreams lived a nightmare, Mumbai the economic capital of India faced her most divesting terrorist attack on some of the city's most iconic locations, furthermore the city remained under siege for 60 hours that Floral tributes were paid the martyrs who laid down their lives while fighting again with terrorists. Their sacrifice will never be erased from the memory of time and history. On the night of November 26th, a group of 10 young terrorists had targeted serval busiest spots of Mumbai.

2.1.2 TERRORISM AND VICTIMS Terrorism can affect anyone, anywhere. It targets all ethnic groups, religions, nationalities and civilizations. It attacks humankind itself. And it is for the sake of humanity that we must create a worldwide forum for your voices and listen to you, the victims. Your stories of how terrorism has affected your lives are our strongest argument for why it can never be justified. By giving a physical and tangible face to the painful consequences of terrorism, you help build a global culture against it.

History has shown us that even in the face of many serious incidents, wars and disasters that have brought so much devastation, damage and pain to their victims, individuals can show significant strength. They cope in one way or another with the sorrow, pain and loss that have been thrust upon them. Nowadays we often refer to this capacity as (psychosocial) resilience: the ability to bounce back and to find a new balance in life after a dramatic incident has occurred.

Figure 9 Death from Terrorism

IMPACT OF TERRORISM ON DIFFERENT SECTOR Economy: - Negative impact on earnings, consumption, tourism, foreign direct investment, security expenditures etc.

Political Impact: - Negative impact on the country’s image at the local, regional and international level.

Social Impact: - Negative impact on employment, poverty, infrastructure and has high human cost Psychological well-being: - Negative impact on human health and causes traumas, stress and headache.

2.2 RESEARCH QUESTION • •

What is the role of architecture to generate different emotion?

How can space affect the mood of human being?

2.3 ARCHITECTURAL CONCERN Building materials, lighting, color and the use of space can all affect the mood and physical human-being of building occupants. Design can impact the productivity level of people occupied in a workplace.

Figure 13 Architectural Concern

MATERIAL: “Each material has its specific characteristics which we must understand if we want to use it. This is no less true of steel and concrete”.

-Mies Van Der Rohe shapes, forms, textures, materials, etc. have a direct influence on human behaviour and response towards the environment. Touching different types of surfaces may incur certain emotions for instance, soft surfaces are generally associated with pleasant emotions, while rough surfaces with unpleasant feeling.

LIGHT: “Light creates ambience and feel of a place, as well as the expression of a structure.”

-

Le Corbusier

During our daily lives, the space you go through can always affect your moods. A dim unlighted area can make you feel gloomy, whereas a well-lit and wellventilated zone can make you feel comfortable.

COLOR: “Color in certain places has the great value e of making the outlines and structural planes seem more energetic.”

- Antoni Gaudi 21

ATTACKS OF 26/11 MEMORIES AT MUMBAI

Color is an important perceptual feature of six basic emotions: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise. The color red was most associated with anger, green with disgust, black with fear, yellow with happiness, blue with sadness, and bright with surprise.

NATURE: “Form must have a content, and that content must be linked with nature.”

- Alvar Alto Nature is affecting on human feeling even more nature gives feeling of happiness, hope, optimistic.

2.4 AIM - The memorial space as a tribute to 26/11 terrorists attacks victims.

2.5 OBJECTIVE - To give tribute through architecture in decades memory of the 26/11 terror attacks that will exhibit the unbreakable spirit of Mumbai and depict important struggles and events through which the city has grown. It is an attempt to taking charge to message the world of how design can spread peace.

2.6 SCOPE AND LIMITATION - A brief study of design tools, which are capable of making the experience soul stirring. These include - form, space, volume, geometry, scale and proportions, light and color.

- The project will stand as a healing place for a victims and physical space for their memories.

- The study does not discuss in detail many issues, like evolution, construction, etc. But focuses on the internal design aspects, concerning the designing of a space, which are known and acknowledged.

2.7 METHODOLOGY - Through the survey all possible data collect related to architecture and human feeling.

- For literature survey I will study Indian context and outside of India too.

- Through literature survey understand the feeling of human in different space.

- Suitable case studies will be undertaken to examine need of the topic.

The Ashram gives a contemporary expression of the spirit of swadeshi. It combines Hindu Architectural and the cosmological idea of isotropy (which can be found in a variety of Hindu temples) with Modernist functional planning.

The museum uses a simple post and beam structure with load-bearing columns supporting the concrete channels, also supporting the wooden roof. The whole structure gives a similar planning style to houses found in Indian villages adding a rural touch of Banni region into its architecture, where instead of one whole volume, the houses are divided for each its function surrounding to make a courtyard in such a way that inhabitants are to walk back and forth across the courtyard to use different spaces.

CONCLUSION: •

Proper circulation of site with basic facility

•

Use of natural light decides the type of ambiance to be created.

•

User friendly design.

•

Minimalistic design can create good space.

•

Flexible design.

•

ELEMENT: Monument light art.

- The door frame at the top of stair is mean to symbolize an internal flame and gives a view of the peace.

LIGHT: The photographic installation will change with light and with movement of viewer.

The Monument is organized with two physical ground planes that are differentiated by meaning: the ascending plane that points to the future; and the descending plane that leads visitors to the interiors spaces that are dedicated to contemplation and memory.

The Stair of Hope rises from the central gathering space, cuts through a dramatically inclined wall and points at the upper plaza towards the Parliament Buildings; a gesture that recognizes and acknowledges the Canadian survivors.

3.5 BERGEN BELSON MEMORIAL Architects: KSP Engel und Zimmermann Architect Location: Belsen, 29303 Bergen, Germany Category: Memorial Documentation Centre Area: 4900.0sqm Project Year :2007

site of remembrance is a monument in commemoration of the 70,000 prisoners of war who died at the BergenBelsen concentration camp (1941-1945). As well as the monument there are the remains of the foundations of a few camp huts.

CONCEPT: A 200-meterlong edifice made entirely of concrete houses the Documentation and Information Centre at the Bergen-Belsen Memorial.

– Figure 28 Site Plan

Figure 29 Concept

Visitors have a choice of two paths. On the so-called “stony path” they can pass through the entire length of the building without entering the exhibition rooms.

Initially covered, the slender path, now open to the skies, in flanked by high concrete walls leading the visitor across a courtyard to other side of the building, where it opens onto the grounds of the camp.

A wide panoramic window at the end of the exhibition room affords visitors a view of the grounds. Out of respect for the place, just above ground level the end of the building projects several meters beyond the former boundary of the camp.

Figure 31 Image

Locker room includes old documents or files or other data of historical research and papers and stationery.

The stony path (which is in fact a long line of smooth concrete plates) passes along the glass-walled side of the reception area and disappears into the building. Here visitors can choose whether to continue straight into the building and the exhibition itself, or turn right into a high-walled courtyard devoid of any detail apart from a brace of rather unnerving security cameras.

The large exhibition hall, which extends over two levels and documents the history of the site from prisoner of war to concentration camp.

The documentation centre itself is a two-storey, exposed concrete building. It is massive, minimal, sober and totally free of curves, but the interplay of volumes is enough to give it just a touch of sculptural beauty.

This way it does justice to the difficult task and makes evident the seriousness with which the subject matter is treated both formally and historically in an appropriate way.

4.0 SITE STUDY AND ANALYSIS 4.1 ABOUT MUMBAI Mumbai is India’s first biggest metropolitan area, capital of Maharashtra state, commercial, financial & entertainment capital of the country. When it comes to urban development, Mumbai is considered as an organic city that was built, transformed and developed by a number of reclamation projects and temporary policies. The city is entirely a mixed-use settlement were place of residence, place of work, public places, transportation, retail shops, industries, commercial, educational districts etc.

4.2 AREA JUSTIFICATION Mumbai port lands propose as a socially vibrant space not only the residents but also for the visitors. An emphasis has been placed on providing public amenities and open areas for recreation and relaxation for all age.

Mumbai is uniquely fortunate to be an island city. Yet Mumbaikars’ have very few public promenades, where we can enjoy the sea.

Taj hotel is the centre of the all attacks. So that nearby taj hot hotel is to prefer for site selection. Also, government is proposing eastern waterfront development which is for public use.

The port lands redevelopments offer us a unique possibility to create several new public promenades that will give us all space to breathe, relax and dream.

Figure 39 Government Proposing Sea Front Development

Mumbai is uniquely fortunate to be an island city. Yet Mumbaikars have very few public promenades, where we can enjoy the sea. These public promenades may not necessarily be long contiguous stretches but can and should become part of a larger network of pedestrian and bicycling trails. These promenades must be provided with adequate east west connectivity and linked to passenger water terminals.

Overall, Mumbai government is going to redevelop the southern Mumbai with the aim of create more transitional space for public use even more dock’s redevelopment to uplift their business even more main terrorist attacks were happen in this area at taj hotel which is center of all attack that is why site has to be nearby this are to make memorial.

6.1 CONCEPT •

•

•

•

Memorial design idea come from the explosive material (bomb) which was used in at the time of tragedy.

Characteristic of bomb explosion – spread from centre and random and this characteristic could be put on the building form.

Therefor building shape is centralized but take uneven outline as related as the explosion quality.

Moreover, in design, centre - the origin where design can give unique identity by tributing survivors.

•

Building will be located at the centre of the site which can help to support the concept.

•

In the landscape area leisure park will be provided all sides of the building where most people can spend their free time so that people can enjoy the sea front.

Figure 62 Zoning

•

In the entrance area it is full with landscape which make more interesting space.

•

The light in hall of letter’s space come from puncture wall which give effect of hope. That will be divided in two parts in the upper part light come from top side and ground area light come from puncture wall.

•

Ratan tata gave big contribution after the attacks of 26-11 so for them contributor space will be provided even more government contribution cannot be forgettable for that reason contributor space should be part of design.

•

A design may include a wall of remembrance which everyone can feel who lost their lives knowingly or unknowingly.

The idea is to provide centralised plan which give unique identity to the project.

Hall of flame is put on the centre and facing toward the taj hotel which represent that the memorial is tributing those tragedy where attacks were happened.

The long entrance stair which is lead to wards the hall of flame.

In the memorial design firstly the exhibition part will come where the importance of the attacks place-before the attacks will be exhibited.

After that to feel the same experience of at the time of attack space is design accordingly.

After the feeling space “stair of hope” is provided which represent the hope to the people to go outside of the feeling space.
