Architecture Thesis Portfolio 2015-2020
Increasing demand for urban spaces pushed the environment to grow vertical and compact. The traditional front – lawn houses are cut away and re-arranged into skyscrapers, losing their greenness and their “neighborhood”. So the necessity of High – rise is needed. High-rise housing is usually defined as a residential building with five or more stories, most of the time encountered in urban or suburban areas. The cohabitation between people, safety and security, mechanical pollution to the ecosystem, less feeling of greenness on the ground, economical support to small vendors, uniting many people under a single roof and reducing the distance of travel are some of the main good and bad of high-rise buildings. The most successful solution for this problem of population, pollution is mixed use development integrating plants and bringing in bio-climatic design principles has come up. This Thesis explorers the design issues and goals in High rise mixed use development. The designing and planning of mixed use development involves consideration of all prevailing conditions of social and economic problems and added guidance of the local bye-laws. The various functional needs, efficiency, economy, energy conservation, aesthetics, technology, fire and safety solutions, vertical transportation, human comforts, operation and maintenance projects, provision of future growth are some of the main factors to be incorporated in the design. The thrust of the topic is given towards the integration of plants and applying bioclimatic principles, energy conservation and solving economic and social problems in the design as well as improving the living quality into these vertical cities. The main objective is to establish the necessity of greenery to incorporate into skyscrapers, for the wellbeing of the economy, society and the environment.
Need of The Study AIM : To focus on designing high-rise mix land use development in Greater Noida, Techzone-2. OBJECTIVES : i. To understand how important are high rise building in today’s era. ii. To understand the consequences of high-rise construction on human and built environment. iii.To suggest its acceptance and perspective through a survey. SCOPE : • High rise construction holds a very important role in the future development as they focus on accommodating large population on a small piece of footprint and using the rest of land for food production, recreation or natural resources, or leaving it as a natural area. • By building vertical and mix use land development we can save energy, support our growing population, create a linkage of build environment with surrounding and a self-sustaining envelope. • High rise development does not only help in development growth but also in saving the wildlife and the forests from getting endangered. Introduction Tall structures represent the most challenging structure typology from numerous purposes of view, and they will influence for better or worse, the future of urban communities around the world. It is in our possible outcomes to transform tall structures into nice, affordable and sustainable space to live in, and academic and industry research is the path forward. The growth and development of modern high-rise buildings particularly affects the existing climatic conditions and the environmental balance of the environmental envelope. At the same time, the population density of the urban development, the infrastructure and transport networks play an important role in shaping the living environment. One of the earliest concepts of a vertical city was given by Le Corbusier in 1922, in which he proposed a plan where about 3 million people would be housed in a special design named ‘Contemporary City’. The idea of high rise was an organized attempt to design an environment in which man, nature and machines could be acquiescent.
1. SCARCITY OF THE LAND IN THE URBAN AREAS • Population is the growing factor. • Limited land resources • Rising demand for business and residential space • Ecological system consideration
Contemporary city designed by Le Corbusier The key feature of high rise as designed by Le Corbusier was at least 85% of plot area free for open spaces with recreational facilities and very high-rise, high-density structures well-coordinated system of vertical transportation, subways, road aces and pedestrian walkways Frank Llyod Wright proposed another version of high rise which he called ‘Illinois’. The design was supposed be constructed in Chicago, with 528 stories and a gross area of 18,460,000 square feet. If the building were built it was supposed to be world’s tallest building in the world. Gradually this development technique took a pace in the construction industry and led to construction of a large Illinos sketch by number of skyscrapers all around the FLW world On the basis of world ranking as on updated in January 2019 the world’s highest building is shown in fig.
2. ECONMIC GROWTH • Utilize all such resources in a single plot area with maximum outcomes and opportunity. • Commercial and residential accommodations can be combined together. • Such land use combined together also reduces the transportation cost hence helps economic growth. 3.TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT • Will help in breaking the taboos of not going high rise. • Help in advancement of new technology and construction material and strategies. • Development of more functionable materials with respect to functioning of the building. 4. INNOVATION IN THE FRAME WORK • Thinner sections of walls and columns. • Adaption and use of new technology and methodology. • Framework of construction strategy. 5. DESIRE FOR STYLE IN URBAN SETTINGS. • Solving the urban issues like overpopulation and ecological decimation. • Understanding the need of contributing back to nature for our self needs.

In a broad sense, the definition a “mix-Use building” is any urban, suburban development or single building that merges residential, commercial, cultural, industrial, institutional uses whose functions are physically and functionally integrated. The concept involves:
SITE ZONING OPTION 1
• Function follows form. • THE CHEST
STORAGE
• • • • •
More breathing spaces. Bio- mimicry structure. Nature oriented. Less built up more landscape. Chest because= treasure and nature is the biggest treasure of wellness and positivity adaptive changes. • Design corresponds to the surrounding of the site as major natural sites like Yamuna river and Okhla bird sanctuary. SITE ZONING The site is located in the proximity of residential and recreational areas, so there will be a major flow of pedestrians from the existing buildings near the site and from public transit, the built should be pushed in the front with large open space in the centre of the site. This will allow site to have more open spaces for the public. MOVEMENT THROUGH NODAL POINT. Movement loop of precinct is anchored by nodes in a sequence. In built environment, it is crucial to create distinct nodal points. Nodal points here act as hinges that facilitate the distinct nature and scale in order to cater to the entire spectrum of varying user groups and aid in smooth transition from one character of space to other.

The attraction of a place for public is facilitated through providing multiple green public plazas at different locations which are connected with each other and with other facilities. All three blocks rearranged with the creation of open green plazas to facilitate more public appealing. Further the plazas are connected with each other and with other facilities. TOILET
