Evolving appropriate design response to a particular context is imagined to be a block in planned sector of the city, a defunct railway line, surrounded by housing of various user mix and typologies is central to the design process. Housing is one of the principal material conditions of human existence. housing typologies are determined by the development forces, nature of socail relationships, economy, forms of family life,cultural and domestic traditions, and diversity of of natural and geographic environments. Mass Housing is a part of urban built form. As an urban module, it helps the city administration to plan manage its infrastructure for future needs and develops a control over the qualitative living environments.

Located in Law Garden Area of Ahmedabad, this housing project was done during (1984-86). It seems to owe a debt to Le Corbusier’s 1934 design for Algeirs. This high-rise, ‘Bungalows in the sky’ scheme Designed by Yashwant Mistri is an Extra-ordinary Deviation from the norm. Made up of bricks and the spiral staircase outside it(what i think is the spiral stairs outside would be because first they would have thought of making bungalows but then they made the high rise apartment). It even had only one staircase i.e, the spiral one. The apartments had duplex and triplex with 3bhk and 4bhk apartments. Owing the total number of 26 apartments. The built-up area of 3bhk been 267.2 sq mt and 4bhk been 334.451 sq mt. Having Basement parking for each house and play area for kids, elevator, cleaning staff and tight security amenities .38

The idea behind the project was to provide a comunity central open space and to cater to the cluster buildings individual building blocks were allocated different green open space. This goyt changed in the phase 2 plan than the proposed one . The green spaces has been positively thought about in terms of climat, to faclitate the residents and walkability .

Developed by JP iscon Group, and designed by architect Bhaskar narula of Place kinesis. In total 19 towers and 1036 units with the project of 9 acres land. It is having maximum 22 floors , the earlier scheme which was developed in phase-1 (May-2014) the by-laws were different so that had made 12 floors at that time and phase-2(Nov 2016) had 22 floors. The thing to be learned from the project is the change in the byelaws changed the whole proposed master plan and the design . as the byelaws changed there were FSI to be covered so that the builder could get more revenue. But this resulted in to conflicts between the architect and the builder . The priority changed from providing more facilities to making more profit. This could be the reason of faliure of the project since there’s no equity.

Vastrapur Case studies Understanding the Interface betwween the building edge and streets
This section was taken on the road leading to mansi circle which had residential on both the sides. Out of the other 3 sections this one is showing the dead edge of the building compound wall. currenty the space is used for parking. But in the Day time this space becomes completely dead. This follows uptill 50-60m meters on both the sides. Being a residential area if such a space could be used for generating some activites could be better. Due to this dead edge the vehicles have encroached the footpath which makes difficult for the pedestrian to move through.
This section was approx 150 m far from the vastrapur lake which basically shows some seatings on the left hand side of the section. On the left side there is G+3 commercial building which has small commercial shops on the grpound. out of this there are some shops which is used as kitchen and space in front of the shop is now used for dinning making a space for street food. In the day time this space is used as parking for the office employes which is on the upper floors. the postivie thing about this section is that how to use a commerciala space and set back space from the shop. The space is used as a multipurpose space
17
This section is cut from the complex just opposite to the vastrapur lake. This is a G+9 building which has first two floors as commercial shops and residential apartments on the above floors. In the middle of the buildng there is a paved private plaza where the shops have laid there dinning. which is throughout the day. the qustion is who owns the space ?, are the shop owners are paying rent for using the common space? who owns the space? Such things should be kept in mind while designing so that not a single inch of the area remains undefined.
This is the last section which is cut from the vastrapur lake which has commercial complex on the right side. The footpath on the left side is currently encroached by the vendors throughout the vastrapur lake compound wall. Due to Encroachment of the vendors there are problems of congestion in traffic the pedestrian are not able to movve free through the space. This could be important to learn where yto place the green spaces in the site so that these space have dead edges.

Site Analysis
19 Built Vs Open
The site has variation in the density of its population due to the difference in building and housing typology. The different types of housing include government housing schemes, settlements, residential apartment schemes. the site also has corporate office and commercial buildings. The occupancy of the land is more in the clusters of settlements as compared to residential apartments which occupy lesser ground space and provide multiple housing units. The assigned plot does not have any permanent built structure, it is an open space with natural vegetation.
BUILT SPACE- 53% OPEN SPACE- 27%
The site is majorly utilisedfor residential purpose as there are multiple housingapartment schemes on eitherside of the assigned plot and apart from that there are low cost Government housing schemes which is completely occupied. The settlements too cover a major part of the site, though they are in the interiors away from the major commercial streets. The majority of commercial buildings are along the frequented roads such as Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway. The minor commercials and mixed use buildings are in the interiors which are providers of basic necessity to the nearby residents.

20 The site has abundance of natural vegetation spread across in different densities. The open spaces which does not have any kind of construction activity going on have native plantations which have grown naturally. There are two parks on the assigned plot and one of thse have abundance of trees which provide natural shade during the day time. The trees at the junctions or near empty plots act as pause points for pedestrians as well as other users of the streets. The trees help in balancing the microclimate and lowering of the temperature. The housing schemes have utilised trees as visual barriers on the streets which have lesser width.

BUILT MASS TREES MAJOR TREES
The low rise buildings or structures which are there at the site are mostly from the housing settlements. There are temporary commercial establishments along the Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway which have compartively lower height than residential buildings. The midBuilding Height rise buildings are the ones which are either commercial blocks or belong to Government low cost housing schemes. The high rise buildings majorly comprise of the residential apartment schemes which have multiple units stacked together, utilisng the available FSI of that zone.

21 Transport Wakability Connectivity
The walking radii is taken to be of 200m from the major nodes which connect to the minor nodes as well as Primary roads. The roads are classified in terms of its use and there are multiple parkings throughout the site.
AMTS STOP AUTORICKSHAW MAJOR NODES MINOR RODES WALKABILITY RADIUS PARKING
Road Network The site is in close proximity to the Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway, which is connected to it through a network of sub-arterial and local roads. The interiors of the site which have a majority of settlements have collector roads which feed the adjacent roads of higher hierarchy. The arterial roads are frequented by heavy goods vehicle on the highway since it connects to major nodes of the city. The major public transport nodes/stops such as AMTS are present on this road. The sub-arterial roads are frequented by auto-rickshaws which cover short distances and help the residents as well as officegoers to commute

The site now hold a potential for different types of activities and the green spaces with the dimension of 40 by 25 is created. now if the activities happening on the same level would create chaos. so now to reduce the visual clutter on the ground level a new level is created at -3 m down the ground level. hence now different activities could happen at different levels.
Now the activites have been seperated. the orientation of the buildings is done in such a way that it creats two pockest one is the commercial and other can be made green. The green space would be only for the residents and will be private. The outer pockets could be transformed into cafaterias and shops vending space. making it public.
The Commercal shops have been place on the edges at atleat 50 mts of distance between tblocks. the blue colours denotes commercial shops and yellow for amenities. the main entrance of the building for the residential units is from the orange hatced aspace where the cores are placed. this placing of commercial shops and amenities would create a sense of privacy and the edges can be used to cater the outside community also.
The dimension of the site is 617*70 mts. and for such a long strecth it was necessary to provide a break for easy vehicular and pedestrian movement a throughfare has been provided at 300 mts which is in connection to the sub aterial road. Providing a throughfare would creates the edges of the site as a commercial edge and would hold a lot of potential.

On one side of the site 40 m TP road has been proposed which can been seen as an opportunity for the commercial and offices to come. and since the site is near to the corporate area it could cater to a paticular user groups and these commercial and offices can be the now activity generators for the site. There are three access points given on this edge of the site since it will attract huge crowd throughout the day the ground floor will be shops and cafes and use the other space around it. There are two sunken court on this half part of the site namely A&B the use of the court are as under - COURT A - has cafaterias and kids play area. its has also furniture to cater to the cafes. in the middle of the sunken court a fountain can be installed and can be beautifully landscped for asthetics - COURT B - Since the part is divided into two parts the activities should be distributed so that it is ascessible from one point to another. hence the court b would be for sports activities -Bdminton court -Volley Ball court - Tennis court
7m Road
This part plan show the throughfare which is passing throug the site. Providing this thoroughfare would become a positive thing since the vehicular and the pedstrian movement can become easy. The orientation of the bocks is also done such that these blocks commercial edge become more active. therefore this throughfare is an important for the site to breath and have activties in the middle.

On the right side of the site small daily use commercial shops have been placed. on this side the orientation of the blocks is a bit different since the front edge is bit dead . due to that reason there are two block placed next to next so that the edge becomes more active. The flow here wold be more due to the commercials.
the building focuses on the concept of giving open terrace to each unit . the stacking is done in such a way that each unit has open terrace connected to it. the core is in the middle and have commercial nad amenities on the ground floor. the 3d also show s the parking space and the ramp which is going in basement.
COURT C - like Court b Court c is also allocated for the sports activities. COURT D - this space could be used for various puropses setaings have been providec and is connected from all the four sides. This space can be used for the festive occasions performances COURT E- This sunken court has been made in such a way that it can have a open air theater.
