Research in Architecture 2019-20 PVP College of Architecture, Pune

Foreword by Ar. Niranjan Garde, Subject Co-ordinator

Research in Architecture is a subject that is introduced in the Fourth Year of Bachelor of Architecture degree and it spans both semesters of Fourth Year B. Arch. The faculty members at PVPCOA aim to look at this subject as an opportunity for the students to sharpen their skills at analyzing a given architectural phenomenon. The choice of the topic is as per their interest - further narrowed down with the help of faculty members. In broad terms, the architectural phenomenon is proposed to be understood as having components of People, Place and Time (summarily - a context). The first semester of this subject concentrates on the components of research process culminating into forming a research plan - demonstrated as an abstract. By defining a research plan, students then embark to execute the same and write a research paper in the preceding semester of this subject. This booklet is a compilation of abstracts of research topics pursued by fourth year students of architecture. All topics featured in this booklet are an indication of diversity of issues that respond broadly to three streams of architectural education - Design, Humanities and Technology. As faculty members, we wish to thank PVPCOA for giving us an opportunity to contribute in developing research skills in the students and aim for continuous up gradation of critical approaches for undertaking research by students.

01 Role of students of Architecture in Architectural waste management -by Agarwal Mehul

Abstract â&#x20AC;&#x153;Role of students of Architecture in Architectural waste managementâ&#x20AC;? deals with the importance of waste management by students of architecture as a lot of waste is generated by them on regular basis. Understanding the waste production system and finding measures to Reuse, Recycle and Reduce waste in tenure of five years. Architectural students use various materials to generate drawings and models, during this period a lot of waste is generated and is neglected at the same time, also students are always under a lot of pressure due to deadlines of submission and constant working hours. Are these factors affecting the amount of waste produced by the students? This paper focuses on methods of using materials with their end-of-life stage taken into account, by enabling their successful disassembly in order to reclaim their components and materials, either for reusing it or recycling them. What happens psychologically when we come to get rid of the stuff we no longer want, the stuff that no longer fits with the social identity we aspire to. Is this clean and good? Or is it dirty and dangerous?

03 Effects of slum development projects on children

in the context of Pune, Maharashtra -by Ambekar Roma

Abstract A “Slum”, is defined as “a run-down area of a city characterized by substandard housing and squalor and lacking in tenure security”, according to UN-Habitat. In India the slum dwellers are often deprived of the basic urban services like water, sanitation, sewerage systems and are often located in the high-risk areas of the city. Maharashtra has the second highest incidence of population below poverty line. According to 2011 census 32.5% population lives in slums.There is an unprecedented policy focus on slum redevelopment and creation of affordable housing across the country today through government sponsored programs of integrated planning and inclusive development particularly through the flagship national urban renewal mission (Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission JnNURM) which is seeking to make India slum free in the future. The research focuses on the potential of BSUP projects to create a safe environment and participate towards the well-being of children and analyze the participation of children and youth in the redevelopment process by studying the impact of the redevelopment on the children..

Now-a-days the number of occupants is increasing in old age homes and orphanages due to various reasons such as nuclear family, financial problems, etc. It is important for us to know their condition as the part of our society because they are living in that place. People residing in old age homes and orphanage may or may not be accepted by the people of the society. Various schemes are incorporated by government for the betterment of such places for e.g.: CSR one of my case study is funded by CSR by which they maintain the infrastructure and basic need of the people residing in the old age homes and orphanages. Many people in orphanages and old age homes are suffering from mental stress due to the absence of someone in their life. It tends to happen that they feel lonelier when they see other people of their age with their families. This was the observation done by an old age home care taker. They feel happier and secure when there is someone to share their feelings with. Main reason for the increasing occupants in such places is nuclear family system, financial problem, having no children, family fear, insecurities, and behaviour of the family.

09 Relevance Traditional Architecture in context of Pune. -by Bogawat Savan

Abstract â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wadasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, traditional dwellings holds great significance in the architectural and cultural history of Maharashtra, India. Wadas proliferated in Maharashtra during the Peshwa period. These wadas were built for the Peshwas, the noblemen and for the ordinary subjects. Many of these Wadas survive today, some under conservation schemes of the government, some converted into museums and some derelict due to neglect. Is it really possible to replicate or reinstate such a Wada today in Pune? If yes, then how? The characteristic of traditional architecture generates a congenial place through a sympathetic design of its cultural and local people. The historical precedents demonstrate the characteristics of traditional architecture. This paper seeks to discover the values of traditional architecture through exploration of Wadas of Pune. The study also shows the evolution of a typology within a typology like Wada. The research paper shows the important factors which help or affect in construction of a Wada. The traditional architecture of Pune is slowly being over powered by the contemporary architecture. This paper distinguishes between the ideologies that were generated by the Western culture and impacted the traditional architecture locally.

13 Understanding the Performance of Spaces in Warli traditional art -by Deshpande Nidhi

Abstract India had always been known as the land that portrayed cultural and traditional vibrancy through its conventional arts and crafts. Warli is one of them. Warli art is a beautiful folk art of Maharashtra, traditionally created by the Warli tribes. This tribe found on the northern outskirts of Mumbai, in western India. They live in traditional housing typology creating small clusters called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;padaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. They completely identify themselves with nature and their identifications with the forest legendary. They express themselves in vivid styles through different art forms like paintings, bamboo art work, rangoli, dance, singing, music, etc.These people do not depict mythological characters or images of deities, but depict social life. Due to commercialization, this culture of art work is losing its originality and today they make paintings only for commercial purposes. The tradition of their art is reducing. Hence, there is a chance to lose their tradition which depicts their lifestyle.The aim of this research is to understand their performance of spaces. The method of this study is about comparative analysis between traditional unit and changed unit of Warli tribe. This research led to understand the efficiency of workspace and to identify the guideline for the performance of space.

14 Climate Responsive Architecture

-Case of Habitats in different zones of Maharashtra -Deshpande Vidya

Abstract Different climate zones requires particular design strategies for making habitat comfortable for the user. This varies from macro to micro climate, therefore there is a need to study residences in different climate zones. . Along with the design strategies, the study of building elements and materials is also been involved in different climatic zones. A comparative analysis of the traditional and modern techniques applied to make climatically responsive, against the current trending habitats will give analysis of how there is change in both the habitats in terms of comfort, clothing, energy consumption etc. In current time the use of energy resources have been increasing day by day which is causing an direct effect on global warming. The use of mechanical light and ventilation is a necessity as the current trends of building is mainly focusing on the fulfilling the requirements and not how the space will get natural light and ventilation. Energy use being the number one contributor to global warming, an obvious way to migrate climate change is to design low or no- energy use buildings. After the comparative analysis, a set of design strategies would be derived which would be context and climate specific, which would help to give solution for the basic light and ventilation problems in the current trending building

15 Experiencing Architecture: Impact of Architecture on Human Mind -by Deth Purushottam

Abstract Does design affect our senses? Our day starts with ring of alarm and end with blink at the night ,we spent our time at many different spaces but this spaces are not only made up of different materials like bricks and concrete but it has many aspects behind it. There is a relation between human body and built structure where each adapts to other. If we are inside any building it sets a particular mood. This happens because of each and every element present in that particular place which creates its own impact on that person. A good designer starts designing a structure with consideration of human thinking his/her behaviour and all tangible and intangible elements. The area of research is to understand and study such elements of meditation space which will discuss about how human psychology deals with architecture. To find such answers it is important to understanding some terms through books and literature review, site visits and comparative studies between different structures. This paper will address the importance of Design and help to understand how we as Architects can create Architecture considering Human psychology.

16 Architecture: A Non-Verbal Communicator -by Dhadiwal Naveen

Abstract Expressing meanings through architecture has been observed from centuries. Architects have always attempted to produce meanings through the spatial qualities of built spaces. Architecture thus is used as a medium of communicating social, cultural, economical, and political values. These meanings in form of encoded messages, in the form of spatial experience or symbolism are not objective but interpretative depending upon the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capability to sense spaces. The messages are encoded by limited group of experts i.e. the designers, but needs to be understood by vast audience which makes this communication multi-dimensional. Thus, the first part of research paper through case studies of Jewish Museum, Berlin and IUCAA, Pune studies how the respective architects intend to communicate certain messages through the space. The second part analyzes the pattern of speech architects use in describing a space to understand how architects convert their philosophies into concrete built expressions. The paper, by categorizing the types of communication architecture offers, helps in finding the gap between this process of encoding and decoding of messages through spatial experience and thus inferring the ability of space to communicate values efficiently.

17 Proportioning System In Hindu Temple Architecture -By :- Galinde Aditya Dinesh

Abstract This paper â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;proportioning systems in Hindu temple architectureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is an attempt to understand the proportioning system used and how are they applied in temple architecture, which was governed by the geometry and a grid. Many examples of temple architecture displays the 64 square grid vastupurusamandala prescribed in texts for temple structures which were given practical applications in development of ground floor plan for temples in ancient times. And at times some temples used only a simple grid governing the proportions of temple. One can clearly signify that this proportioning system was one of the main key elements for successful built and its execution standing in its glory all through these centuries. The topic Hindu temple architecture itself is a vast topic, though there is a lot of research done and ongoing in this topic still many of the aspects are unexplored, but we will focus / restrict ourselves for studying proportioning system used in construction of Hindu temples. This paper helps to understand the basics of vastupurusamandala, and its application through various case studies from secondary sources and a live example of Shakuntaleswar temple in wai. By studying this example, paper only analyzes the application the grid.

18 Changing habitats

-by Galkate Sakshi Abstract The architecture of India is rooted in its culture and religion. Earlier the residential type of architecture was very intricate in terms of the details which evolved eventually with changing times. Considering the current housing situation, there are a lot of standardised patterns in terms of facades, material, character, etc. It is very hard to spot differences in the mass constructed structures. The research focuses on factors like occupation, religion, aspirations Changing habitats of the people, material used, project cost, role of the builders, social construct, the use of local material, fabric of the surrounding area. The culture of the area, aspirations of the residents, the physical factors like distance between workspace and residence are also some of the factors that have affected the building fabrics of the city. The study considers the user experiences of people living in high rise buildings as compared to the people living in traditional houses also looking at the aspects of time, cost and need for mass housing. The main aim of this paper is to understand what kind of housing is best suited for the users in terms of social construct of a particular place and community. Also to study how standardisation emerged in India and how it affects the existing fabric especially for housing in India.

21 Human Psychology in spaces of confinement:- Context of Prison - Godambe Prerana

Abstract The typology of prison has come far away from physical pain, public humiliation to a more reformative model in contemporary times. The harsh reality of today’s prisons in India is that they are designed to be a torture chamber than a model of rehabilitation. This paper aims to understand the psychological implications the spaces have on the mind of the prisoners and how does this contribute to their post-prison adjustment. The psychological repercussions of the space on a prisoner is analyzed through the drawings of prisons in India and contemporary prisons across the globe on parameters of the spatial response to rehabilitate. The brief understanding of how has the program formulation in prison evolved over the period is studied in this paper. The spatial program formulation of prison by the architect play’s a key role in the environment of that prison which in turn has effects on the prisoner’s life during the time of incarceration. A part of the study also explores this topic through the lens of a psychologist. The research provides the interposition between punishment and reformation. Also, while examining the research this interposition would have a particular influence on society in terms of societal advancement, opportunities, and cultural growth. The paper emphasizes the concern of not making the prisoners institutionalized but to be an effective citizen during their course of incarceration.

22 Redevelopment guidelines for Shimpi Ali, Kasba Peth, Pune -by Gokhale Gargi

Abstract

The wadas in the Pune city which were once a seat of power and grandeur were considered as the identity of Pune. They imparted a character to the city. Currently, these wadas are facing issues of neglect in terms of their repair. The redevelopment of these wadas which are in a dilapidated condition is necessary as their collapse may pose a threat to the life. For redevelopment and conservation guidelines must be developed considering the present-day living conditions, the need of the people and keeping in mind the essence of the place. As Kasba Peth is one of the oldest peths in Pune, most cases of wada collapse are reported in this area. The research method would include a study of the overall area of Kasba Peth to determine the sample study area by determining the area which has a balance between the redeveloped structures and the old structure. Thus, preparing the guidelines for redevelopment for Shimpi Ali in terms of the components of elevation of the street facade, building materials, building heights, signages and hoarding. The guidelines must be developed such that they serve the modern-day functions. Thus, helping maintain the character of the built. Key words: conservation, redevelopment guidelines, Shimpi Ali 22

The messaging serves as a purpose to translate emotive responses within the audience ranging from fear to happiness and expectance of theme. Through this study where we compare two different volumes of place and space we get to know different ways and type of set up used for different types of enactments and play. It depends on various aspects of the place where the act is performed and practiced such as volume, seating arrangement, etc. this differs with the change in place such as auditorium, theatre, amphitheater, or a street theatre which are performed in outdoors. With different scales comes different experience, of all the elements together. From the onset a theme is established, a character is created and a mood is conveyed.

25 The Integration of Human Senses and Spiritual Spaces

Strategies, Techniques and Elements Contributing Towards a Sensory Experience. -by Jadhav Akanksha

Abstract

Architecture is a phenomenon that defines the quality of the built environment whilst accommodating various functions. The quality of the spatial and functional arrangements in a given dimension provides character to a place. Architecture is multi-sensory, bringing the users closer to things. Architecture is not only experienced visually, but more so holistically through all of our five senses that extends our sensations well beyond our sight imagery. Spirituality and architecture are interlinked where different layers lead to the creation of a holistic environment. These qualities of architecture can be expressed as space that evokes and invokes spiritual responses in people. These qualities can therefore be used to establish a spiritual place. Firstly spiritual places in Pune will be identified and then an experiment involving 10 people of age groups (20-25) will be conducted where all these people who have visited Triveni Ashram and Ram Krishna Mat and experienced the space will be interviewed and questioned. Then a detailed matrix will be made of all the identified examples and what elements of design, factors, strategies lead to sensory experience of any space. This will also help in deriving the sequence in which our senses function.

26 What makes a space Spiritual? understanding through cave architecture -by Jadhav Mayuri

Abstract There are various elements in a space which define a space and come together to create a certain experience. There are tangible elements as well as intangible elements. Both of them make every space unique with varied experiential qualities. Most of the historic structures in context of India are sacred and have the notion of spirituality attached to them, though not defied but yes. Therefore this research paper focuses on understanding the elements of a space which makes a space feel spiritual. This research will broadly concentrate on cave architecture in context of Maharashtra. The main focus will be on the various aspects of cave architecture such as, the form, light quality, material and texture and the physical elements (paintings, sculptures) which shape the spatial experience and the relation between them and understanding the function of these spaces in their time period. The adopted methodology includes observations on site, photographic documents, interviews and outputs from questionnaire and large dependency on literature and archival data.

Traditional, permanent architecture often has to serve multi-functions and purpose like public spaces, market spaces, entertainment events, workspaces-changing needs and surroundings. “Pop up” Architecture within the first glance might mistakenly appear cheap, easy fix and dismantling founded but they are designed to embed themselves in a community, public space or set of ideas. The changing need of the time has set “Pop up” architecture into the contemporary culture where the permanent building or structure provides less flexibility to serve changing demands than the Temporary structure. The Temporary Architecture holds significance thanks to its promising claims and benefits over the permanent architecture. The present paper puts forth various examples of permanent and temporary public spaces in reference to the purpose of the space. These temporary spaces open up possibilities, test scenarios and subvert preconceptions of what the city should look like and how the individual or community engages in those spaces leaving back the un-built space with collaborative use of it.

28 Iconic Architecture - Definition, Needs and Impacts -by Jain Pritish

Abstract There have been examples of very different forms of architecture since man learned a way to build structures for more than just shelter and protection. This has evolved throughout the ages in the form of Ziggurats, Pyramids, Forts, and Castles to modern day Skyscrapers. The reasons that contributed to the construction of these structures have also varied along with time and the economy of the people constructing them. Each of these structures convey a different meaning, statement, symbol which they were intended for. The intent of this research is to study the circumstances that led to the emergence of these structures. Understanding what impact do these structures have on the economy, fabric and urban context of the area in which they are built. The methodology adopted for the above study will be qualitative. It will include study of two significant structures throughout history. The political and economic aspects that led to construction of these structures. The impact that these Icons had over the city/state/country/ world and also the people. The inferences will be drawn based on which a definition will be deduced which describes Iconic Architecture in a holistic way. Thus, the intent and impact of Ionic architecture will be discussed. It will further lead to a discussion on what is the intent of Iconic architecture, what is the definition and what the future approach to Iconic architecture will be.

30 Understanding Sustainable Design Parameters In Todays Time -Joshi Anisha

Abstract With the construction industry contributing on a very large scale to carbon dioxide emissions, fossil fuels consumptions, which is affecting our climate, it is the responsibility of architects, researchers and academicians to work together to understand and promote sustainability in Architectural Practices. In the wake of climate change it is essential to understand architectural practices which are sustainable and which do not exploit our planet and climate. With researchers saying that we have 12 years to save the climate and in order to find out the best architectural practice to combat climate change, there is a need to understand and question the existing popular practices carried out. Along with the current trends the traditional and vernacular methods, now growing GRIHA/ LEED/ IGBC rated design considerations need to be understood. With a new, futuristic sustainable model of Earthships taking shape, questioning the existing practices with respect to energy consumption, resource utilization and harmful emissions during pre-construction and post- construction stages. This research will focus on the residential sector by studying houses over a time period to question todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scenario but at the same time analyse and derive possible design solutions for today.

32 Understanding building performance in modern architecture. -by Kaldhone Rutuja

Abstract Today architects are responding to the situation with the energy efficient design strategies which reduce waste and use of sustainable products. The green technology has made headway into architecture. While architecture has been proven to show great improvement of ways of living both environmentally and technologically, the question remains, is all this really energy efficient? Most of buildings are not built in accordance with the requirements of environmental protection and are therefore energy inefficient and costly to maintain. Where vernacular architecture makes the spaces socially alive, economically viable due to its evolution and development in a particular culture and it is energy efficient due to its climate responsive nature. Among the most complex problems of modern society are reduction of pollution and energy resources expenditure within the building sector. The aim of the paper is to understand the building performance, which built under the similar approach in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s context. The paper will focus on the different parameters which evaluate the building performance, response to nature. The study will be done by referring to the projects of Ar. Hassan Fathy and Ar.

FINDING THE POTENTIAL OF UNDER-UTILIZED URBAN SPACES

-by Kamthe Janhavi

Graphic PVP COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE, PUNE

Current rate of growth of infrastructure is increasing rapidly. Historically, urban design is a discipline which deals with architectural outlook for planning of the city well in which we dwell. The contemporary side of urban not only deals with economics, aesthetic factors as well as their cultural, environmental and social impact. The urbanization and lack of planned public spaces results into open spaces formed or created, overshadowed by the built with no specific use. Thus, it is important to identify the methods of formation and existence of negative spaces in urban context like Pune. This research revolves around the idea of urban voids and its potential as public realm. These neglected spaces can create different opportunities for creation of public spaces. Hence the study of these spaces with respect to different parameters can help to create a design toolkit for that particular type of spaces.

Aquatectural first aid to disasters-Floods, Kerala -by Karmarkar Anshuta

Abstract Aquatecture examines the concept of architecture and water, further including both contemporary and historical viewpoints. It is these viewpoints that have shaped the understanding of the element water, both essential to life and life threatening. The dual force within water “represents the essence of Yin and Yang where good cannot exist without evil.” The disaster ‘flood’ involving this element has taken lives and destroying habitats all over the world. Where rise in the sea levels is a worldwide concern, in Kerala, first state to receive rainfall in India, a land of backwaters and coconut trees, palm lined beaches spanning over 600 km of Arabian sea shoreline, ironically, faces water scarcity. This research would focus on the current scenario of various places in the state of Kerala, and thus, justify implementing Aquatecture, where water and architectural design can unite to produce dynamic and reliable mitigation solutions. Instead of focusing on preventing the destructive nature of water as the only medium for the protection plan, the research will investigate and explore options where the protection methods could also create opportunities in which the water becomes an amenity, hence the development of the protection system in itself embody the dual force of water.

36 Understanding critical regionalism -by Karmarkar Urvi

Abstract In early 20th century the Modernism era came, which was all about rationality, logic and efficiency. After this a new movement emerged known as Postmodernism. This movement incorporated ornaments in each and every building. These two movements were extremes. To find a middle ground between these two extremes Critical Regionalism was introduced. Critical regionalism tries to achieve a one to one correspondence with vernacular architecture in a conscious way. The main aim of the research paper is to understand how Critical regionalism has been included in various building typologies in India. By focusing on critical regionalist projects of significance in each building type, the study attempts to highlight that critical regionalism leads towards powerful architecture to cater to any kind of building program. There are various building typologies in which critical regionalism has been seen. For example â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cultural centers, Educational institutions, Housing, Hospitality sector, Offices, Healthcare, Government buildings. In this paper significance of critical regionalism has been explored with the help of certain examples of Hospitality sector (Hotels/Resorts). It is an identity of the particular region since the tourists who come to visit that region stay over here. It is a powerful expression of the region.

37 Living Environments for Outstation Students -by Kher Aparna

Abstract The environment of home is highly subjective in nature and is difficult to recreate due to its individuality, preferences and character. However it can be decoded that homely environments are mostly affected by family, location and the actual space. As the aspect of family is absent from the various accommodation facilities available for outstation students, other factors play a bigger role in shaping the environments of these accommodation facilities. The stay of a student in a hostel/ dormitory/ PG/ rental apartment during their course of education is temporary. Nevertheless, it serves as a ‘home’ for that duration. As these are the formative and influential years in an individual’s life as a student, their relationship with their temporary ‘home’ also has a significant impact on their life as a student. The study aims to look at these accommodation facilities and understand the type of environment it provides to its occupants and to understand whether they evoke a sense of belongingness for its occupants. The study focuses on identifying the various factors that can contribute to the feeling of homeliness. The aim of the research is to come down to a set of parameters that could be the potential contributors of creating a homely environment in student accommodation facilities.

38 Journey of a Pedestrian -by Kochar Shruti

Abstract Pedestrian zones are public spaces intended for the continued and safe mobility of pedestrians and people with disabilities, and they provide multiple benefits to urban areas. They counterbalance the densely built-up areas, decrease atmospheric pollution, social space, increase walking and cycling rates, and facilitate active play for children A large body of research has been focused on urban street planning, particularly on livable street and efficient pedestrian movement. Livable street is created by safe and inviting streets, sidewalks and is achieved by clearly defining and segregating activities happening on street thereby considering usability of various people, which is emerged by the context. This research aims to provide guidelines on journey of a pedestrian movement, role of street and surrounding, the flow of movement to ease the walkability of a pedestrian. The study area for this research will be the MIT Road in Pune which offers larger use of public transport and by pedestrians, used for recreational purpose, commercial purposes or to stroll around, also various age groups are witnessed on this road. The data collected and analyzed will be focused on the efficiency of the pedestrians using the entire stretch and ultimate goal will be to have it as livable street for pedestrians.

39 Reinterpreting Shaniwar Wada -by Kothadia Shreya

Abstract Reusing the historic structure is considered one of the important strategy in conservation of heritage structures. It can ensure the survival of the historic structure. In context of Pune, Shaniwar Wada is one of the most important heritage sites that has high cultural value and history. Hundreds of people visit Shaniwar Wada on daily basis. The place is hence being misused due to uncontrolled tourism and activities happening inside Shaniwar Wada. Scribblings on wall, along with leftover food and plastic is seen lying on the floor and also, garbage is being dumped in some spaces of Shaniwar Wada. This needs to be controlled as it is destroying the heritage of Pune. This is majorly happening because Wada lacks discipline and also people have no regard for that place and the heritage is therefore taken for granted by the public visiting there. Hardly any activities other than tourism happen in Shaniwar Wada. Pune has a great culture of music, dance and drama and with increasing demands of housing and commercial spaces, Pune is in a need of a community space where such cultural events can happen. Adaptive reuse of Shaniwar Wada may answer the issue. Also, this will help in controlling the tourists and solve maintenance issues.

Many developing countries are facing the challenge of uncontrolled housing developments. This study seeks to look at the effects of such uncontrolled housing developments in maharshinagar. Maharshinagar Innercore has seen a steady increase in the population as developers in the area sought to maximize their returns on the land that was available to them, by developing highrise rental residential houses. This had the inadvertent effect of increasing the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population and hence overstretching the areasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; physical and social infrastructure. The studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objectives were to demonstrate how socio-economic factors of residents contribute to uncontrolled developments in maharshinagar, to find out what measures have been put in place to monitor and regulate the developments, to find out what public services are offered and are accessible, and to find out the efficiency of service delivery in Maharshinagar. These were deemed crucial in order to sufficiently and sustainably mitigate the negative effects of these uncontrolled housing developments. In order to understand the problem, literature review was done to find out the causes of uncontrolled developments as researched by other researchers. Literature review was also done to find out the existing planning and building policies, the legal and institutional framework that influence or are supposed to influence the developments in Maharshinagar. Having a clear understanding of the challenges of uncontrolled developments, the study set an appropriate research methodology that helped gather data that would be unbiased and representative of the maharshinagar challenges and strengths.

Abstract The buildings now a days are all similar and blocks of identical shape size and design. And also, there is no response towards the nature and environment around and the trees are cut openly and freely without any thought. Due to this trees and dense forests are getting cut and deforestation is taking place on a very large scale. Which not only harms the human life but also is affecting the animals, birds and mainly the ecosystem and creating adverse effects like global warming and no shelter for animals and birds, etc. Whereas the Insects and Animals build up their shelters with nature and inside nature itself. Like and live inside the ground or in the Ant-Hill made with sand and mud, which stays cooler in summers and warmer in the winters making the inside comfortable and habitable. In a similar way human should make their homes or buildings with the nature considered and used in a way in which it is not harmed at all and helps in making the shelter better climatically and also make living easy and more comfortable. The research will give a data or table which will be stating, what type of structures or buildings can be designed using biomimicry as their principal and the design, structural system or the concept of biomimicry can be used for what type of building.

49 Tribal Architecture and Construction of Valwanda -by Namjoshi Janhavi

Abstract Vernacular architecture is a term used to categorize methods of construction which use locally available resources and traditions to address local needs. Vernacular architecture tends to evolve over time to reflect the environmental, cultural and historical context in which it exists. This study aims in bringing the traditional architecture in limelight as it is diminishing due to increase in growth rate and use of different materials which gives it The ‘modern and development’ as a statement. Traditional buildings were climate responsive as they used the locally available materials and had their own typology which was developed through the years of the users experience. Every part of India has a different culture and thus the typology changes accordingly There are many parts in India where such traditional culture still continues even though urbanization is taking over many parts of the country. There are a few tribal villages in western Maharashtra which still continues to be known for its tribal cultutre and its art known as “warli” painting. This small tribal village continues its traditional way of construction, that is the materials used are which are locally available and according to their climate, based on their comfort and use.

50 Riverfront as social engager -by Niraj Navalakha

Abstract Rivers have been an important part of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives in India, but unfortunately due to rapid urbanization, they have not been given the importance they deserve. This phenomenon has led to the detachment of the city from the river. In view of this change it becomes important for any city authority or individual to restore such valuable resource to its lost glory, thereby enhancing its appropriate role in current context. The study began with the evolution of an urban riverfront, including understanding how early settlements were established along the rivers, later forming the town, resulting in this day cities and their inherent traditional urban culture value. In cities like Pune where there is a lot of discussion regarding creating a public riverfront for Mula-Mutha River, it is necessary to analyze the impact of such an insert on the lifestyle of the people. This study can provide a set of planning and design principles that will allow the communities to reclaim the urban river edges in the most ecologically sound and economically viable manner. The Mula-Mutha river front in pune is a multi functional with bulk of its premises being residential, commercial and institutional buildings along with some heritage structures. The water features a potential to form cities as a cultural and heritage hub..

In order to understand the quality of space and the human behavior on the street; we have to focus on the pause points. We should understand the life between building as in what factors it affect the pause and especially noncommercial pause. We need to understand the indirect connection of people to the urban space i.e. street. The paper aims to analyze the pause points and human behavior on two different streets one of which is Design Street and other is non design by analyzing it through photographs and live study. The research paper will mainly focus on the study of two different streets and the activities happening on the street. So that it is easy to find out the difference between (Formal) Design and (Informal) Non Design Street. Then the understanding can be taken into considerations during the further development of the city.

55 Need Based Architecture

Use of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principles in Urban Housing -by Paranjape Mrunmayee

Abstract Need based architecture is a stream which is always looked upon as habitat for the people of economically backward group. It often gets connected with slums. Problems like congestion, lack of infrastructure, drainage issue and illegal structures are often discussed with respect to slums. But is it just that or is there anything more beyond this prejudice? There are certain principles which are used while building these settlements. These principles may not be stated anywhere as this is an informal type of housing. But there is some order in this chaos. Some parallels can be drawn if we observe these settlements carefully. In 21st century cities are expanding rapidly and so is the population. Cities today are facing major space crunch. Increasing land costs is one of its direct major impacts. Cost of housing is increasing along with this rise in land cost. In this study aim is to find out some commonalities between informal settlements to understand the planning principles. Out of these some will be directly related to the affordability but there will be few which will be used with the aim of minimising the area of unit. After analyzing these principles ones which can be used while designing compact modern time housing will be shortlisted and studied further.

56 Spaces for the Dead Going Dead -by Abhijeet.Pardeshi Abstract A burial ground or graveyard is an integral part of any city. According to Max Weber, the city in the Occident was a unitary urban community, and that a common burial ground was one of the prerequisites for it. In the Orient, such an urban community never existed since the prerequisites for this type of community were not present there. Lewis Mumford states that many urban centers in the world have developed around cemeteries and many have met their final ends in them. Cemeteries thus both enhance and hinder urbanization process of a place. In this study, I have analyzed the role and importance of cemeteries in the social formation and urban development of Dhaka City, while analyzing the applicability of Weber's concepts of a 'common burial ground' and a 'unitary urban community,' and Mumford's propositions about the relationship between cemeteries and the city's origins, development and decay in the case of this city using historical data. Policy implications are also suggested. As the development has increased the needs of people has taken over the sensitiveness about these space and its importance now a days. These spaces serves not only the function of the dead but also preserves the intangible and emotional bond between the two. The study will focus on rituals , traditions and its significance in society ,the change in space quality from history to now. Which further can help me understand what caused in the shrinkage of these spaces and how important these aspects of spaces for the dead is important to look at in todays concept of living a life. The topic also helps you understand different rituals of different religions across the city and how they have their own way of looking things towards the dead and its rituals ,with their own different concepts of life and death. Over all this research can help you to focus on this major concerns of the sensitiveness of the space quality of these graveyards as the space and place of peace .

Changing faces of river and new development along river and its relationship and effects on the historic built fabric on its bank. -by Phadnis Nupur

Abstract Pune is a city of river and has evolved on the banks of the river â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mula Mutha at the core of the city, other major rivers include the Pawana river, Ram river and Dev river. Various heritage and historic structures in Pune are in the vicinity of this river, the main structure being Shaniwar Wada which was the abode of the Peshwas during the 18th century. Various river banks in towns and cities are a vital area in terms of Heritage and historic structures being situated on them and as an element in the town or city. But while the heritage structures were planned to be situated on the river bank, was the natural behavior of the river at different times of the year considered, this relationship of the structures on the river banks and behavioral pattern of the river over the years has to be analyzed and studied. The aim of the research is to find and analyze the relationship of the built fabric in immediate vicinity of the river with the river and how does the changing behavior of the river affect its built fabric around. As per the study conducted it can be clearly concluded that the floods which we see on Mula-Mutha river are due channelization of the river which was a result of construction of dam on the river. The newly built fabric gets affected by the river as they are constructed within the original span of the river before channelization. Graphic 58

60 Mending the Mills -by Sachdeo Dhiraj

Abstract Initiated in the early 19th century, the cotton textile industry in Mumbai played a significant role in the city's-economic progress and urban development. However, today the central district (the mill precinct) of Mumbai, where the mills once flourished stands defunct in the hot-spot of Mumbai's real estate market. Some of the recent redevelopments of these mill lands are commercial and political exploitation while some still remain defunct and have become a site for many illegal activities. Once the economic backbone of the city, these Mills deserve a due recognition and identity in the image' of the city of Mumbai. The aim is to formulate revitalization strategies for a specific region within the precinct. For the research , Mills which have been redeveloped and which still remain defunct ,both will be visited and studied.

62 STREET CULTURE

Understanding the Aspects that Defines Culture and Character of Urban street -Sancheti Kajol)

Abstract Now-a-days streets are getting crowded by the vehicles and the main objective that the streets are the public space is lost, its importance in the neighborhood is deteriorating. City planning has not been up to the mark in ensuring and protecting the culture which has been carried out on the urban street.. Public needs to be given an equal ground to be in, a place where all can be. In urban background the life is busy, people need to get connected , people need to have public space where connections can get stronger, streets are one of the great contributors to this. Public spaces are often poorly carried out or neglected in planning and development stages. Pune has the designed as well as non-designed streets in its context, the youth of the city is mostly attracted towards the streets and its culture. Pune is a urban periphery which has the streets of almost all types of streets where public space is celebrated. But the streets of Pune are rarely designed considering the youth of Pune. This causes underuse and negligence, as these spaces are mostly used by the youth only. The analysis of the streets of Pune will help to study the need and use of these street spaces in detail, and will also help us understand what do people actually need. This paper thus is an attempt of comparative study of culture and character of two streets of Pune. Key words: Urban street, Public space, Communication, Culture, Facades of street,

63 Consideration for Stray Animals in Neighbourhood Planning -by Sapkal Shraddha

Abstract Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Increased urbanization has affected stray animals, which leads to more homeless and injured animals on street. The habitable space of animals are getting transformed from open space to blocked space. Due to varieties of occupation and modernization in lifestyle there is an increasing gap between human and animals nature. There was time when many old customs which were for the beneficial of animals used to be followed, but now it is no more practiced properly. And hence emotional connection between humans and animals are getting lost. Taking into consideration of this problem, it is our responsibility to have a thought for our earth-mates and take steps right from neighbourhood areas. The Research is to acknowledge a barrier free environment for Stray Animals in Neighbourhood Context. These pockets with spaces for stray animals will help them for better living and surviving environment which will turnout bond of interaction with humans daily. And will be beneficial for both in terms of Loyalty, Connectedness, Security, Guides, Mental and Physical benefits. This dissertation could be used as reference material that throws upon the natural behaviour of animals which have with architecture. And the main aim of this dissertation is to help students and professionals align, to design by considering animals needs.

64 ADAPTING A HERITAGE (CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS FOR DAULATABAD FORTS). -by Sethiya Vineet Abstract For a country with such a rich diverse history and culture, government and people of the country do very little for the structures or the remains of the past. The good, the bad and the ugly of the heritage needs conservation or reuse policies in India. Comparing through different scales of forts and looking at the relationship with its context. Efforts should be made at local level to enhance the heritage. Activities have changed in the same area during past and present, evolution over time. This all will be studied through maps and photos, also critical views can be taken on the policies of conservation of heritage. Daulatabad, situated at a distance of 16 km north-west from the city Aurangabad. It is surrounded by a stream (river) Manpuri and bounded by the shayadri hills in the east and looks down to a plain on the south east at Daulatabad. In 1328 Muhammad-bin-Tughluq successor of khilji renamed Deogiri as Daulatabad and shifted the capital from Delhi sultanat to Daulatabad. By quick succession in political power Daulatabad experienced multiple wars fought by Nizam shahi, Deccan sultans and finally Aurangzeb (Mughals). Intervening on macro and micro scale via connecting historical protected areas through various proposed urban inserts or adaptive reuse of the space for different public spaces in the fort and surrounding village /city. Where not only restoring the forts is necessary, but also reviving its surrounding is important and creating a urban fabric for the village/ city.

65 Temporary Structures creating Permanent Bonds: Architectural Impermanence in the city of Pune -by Shah Sanidhya

Abstract This is a new interpretation of spaces which are temporary in nature among a dense urban fabric. Temporary structures are establishment which are constructed and dismantled for a specific period and purpose. E.g.: It can be your everyday vegetable vendor, or a ‘pandol’ for a marriage function. Here, two case studies of 1) Khadda vegetable market, Camp, Pune and 2) Sawai Gandharv Utsav, Mukundnagar, Pune are captured in terms of their processes, routines and unique features of operations. These findings are viewed through a critical lens w.r.t its impact on the land and the people. The process shows that the establishments, though they are ephemeral; have a relationship with the locality, the physical elements and the people. They touch the ground lightly, are economical and also sustainable in terms of its methods of construction and materiality. This study throws light on the importance and need of such open spaces and encouragement of temporary structures in cities.

A study on façade organization in the context of Architectural continuity from past to future in the residential scale of dehu

-by Shankad Channveer

Abstract Dehu draws attention as a unique site with its geographical structure, cultural life, beliefs and tradition. The most permanent works which puts forward and transfer the most significant features of cultural formation and continuity to the future takes place in architecture. In consecutive periods of human history, people who have the same or different cultures have built their environments with the same purpose but sometimes demonstrating different styles and sensitivity. Collectivity built environments played a great role in the continuation of architecture and identity of village. But today, architecture continuity is affected negatively with the disappearance of historical environment, and the construction of very tall buildings to get high profits Moreover some factors such as traditions, beliefs, social styles and status, climate, materials and geographic location are ignored and form-meaningfunction trio is not considered, particularly in the residential scale. Thus, in this study, it is aimed to evaluate user’s aesthetic feeling preferences and discuss their reasons in the context of traditional houses which are the reflection of tradition formation whose correctness and validity have been proved by passing years. For this purpose, this study determines firstly the meanings of house facades according to users and based upon these meanings, the formalistic concepts and imaginations of the meanings. And secondly it determines the formalistic-semanticfunctional effect of traditional and recent organizations in the house facades (especially in the apartments) on the user and also determines which elements of house facades have been important in terms of continuity from past to our time.

67 Understanding The Role of Geometry in Mud Architecture WOKS OF LAURIE BAKER, HASSAN FATHY -by Shinde Priyanka

Abstract Architectural design is an art which deals with playing with forms and spaces and relating these elements to one another. Geometry is the root of forms , that contributes to the composition and design of elements of architecture. Organic geometry refers to geometric forms that can grow and develop according to the principles of geometry. Organic Geometry in architecture is often confused with organic architecture. Also, the meaning of geometry is usually misinterpreted by geometry which has evolved from natural forms or geometry which involves use of various curves, etc. Form and spaces determined by the geometry. Hence, the study the geometry, its type, and its application is the key to understand designs based on geometry. The application of organic geometry in mud architecture can be simplified by the study of principles of geometry involved in this process. By studying the geometry used by 2 architects in there design. This paper is a study of the application of the principles in the mud architecture of 3 architects who worked with mud , which will help to learn how organic geometry can be used in design. we will learn that the work of 3 architects has made a significant use of the principles of geometry while designing and thus organic geometry can be derived from their design. The parameters such as function of space, context, and climate have also been looked into while applying geometry. .

68 ADAPTIVE REUSE OF HERITAGE BUILDINGS -Tandale Shekhar

Abstract Recycling has become second option to modern communities as we strive for environmental sustainability. Aiming to reduce, reuse and recycle. We find new product in everything from bottles and boxes to clothes, vehicles building. adaptive reuse is a process that changes a disused item into a new item that can be used for a different purpose. Sometimes nothing changes but the item’s use. The most successful built heritage adaptive reuse projects are those that best respect and retain the building’s heritage and add a layer that provides value for the future. Sometimes, adaptive reuse is the only way that the building’s fabric will be properly cared for revelled or interpreted, while making better use of the building itself where a building can no longer functional with its original use, a new use through adaption may be the only way to preserve its heritage significance. The reuse of a historic buildings should have minimal impact on the heritage significance of the building and its setting. Developers should gain an understanding of why the building has the heritage status, and then pursue development that is sympathetic to the building to give it a new purpose. It is self-defeating if it fails to protect building’s heritage values. Key words - Adaptive reuse, Architectural character, Conservation, Heritage structures, sustainability, local values. 68

Abstract Perception is what the individual perceives on a unique and subjective basis. Experiencing space is a subtle act in the human body and mind. We use our eyes to visually probe a space, making thousands of subconscious computations every second. The lens of our eyes allow us to experience perspective space in a consistent and readable way. Our eyes are the spine in perceiving space. But when the eyes are not in play is it still possible to perceive a space solely based on the 4 senses. Blind people although cannot see a space, they can feel and experience a space in their own way. The methodology of the research in based of interviewing blind subject and observing how these subject are able to manoeuvre in a structure. The aim of this study to investigate how blind people perceive a space and to create guidelines for architects for future references.

72 Exploring Art as a Tool to Ameliorate Public Space -by Thorat Sakshi

Abstract

One of the key aspects that define an urban environment are the public open spaces which act as the interactive spaces for people. But in cities like India, which have a strong historic core and dense urban fabric, it can be difficult to design open spaces which facilitate such activities. Many deteriorating public spaces need to be catered to for the betterment of the city. The use of art can help in tackling the problems of such urban spaces, they can act as a catalyst for further revitalization. The cohesive approach of reclamation through art leads the way to design interventions that are diverse and unique, resulting in attractive and inclusive spaces. This research will be about critiquing some of the art murals done in the city for improving the existing disintegrated space, by analyzing the parameters involved in shaping the nature of such spaces and also studying the various catalysts which help the artwork to ameliorate a particular place. It will help us understand the importance of art as a focal object in the phenomena of space making.

Abstract The following research examines community incremental patterns form micro to macro levels in a community based vernacular housing set in an urban context. The focus will be the study of community idea of incrementality with parallel analysis of special pattern which can be used in the cluster re-development process to improve livability of the community. The idea is to discover parameters that may be useful for redevelopment purposes of that community causing least destruction to the existing fabric. Every community has their own needs and requirements of spaces maybe related to the work, living condition etc. To Understand these parameters Koliwada was selected where people have evolved their spaces according to their needs and have built spaces themselves without any architect. Understanding a particular cluster of the community in terms of neighborhood and incrementality becomes essential because on side of Koliwada is sea and City on the other edge. The research methodology includes interviewing experts, on-field study and ways/processes/challenges involved in organization and adaptation of cluster.

With the change in the time the change of materials also took place in a faster rate where stone is replaced by bricks and mud by cement. The main intention is to find out the quality of space, security and comfort of the user in a traditional house and also its response to its surroundings. Does the change in material changes the quality of space? Or quality of living? However there is need to understand about these changes and what are the factors that leads to these changes? Are these changes in a positive way or in a negative way? Also along with the built spaces of a building it is also necessary to understand the un-built spaces and their functions. Every unbuilt space plays in bungalow the open an important role in a building with respect to a modern or a wada. Understanding these difference and the factors leading to these activities is very important. Also how does the structure responds to its particular neighborhood and what is the sense of security and interaction with the neighborhood? What are the various spaces in a wada that plays an important role with respect to the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comfort and how these spaces are planned that becomes important for the user for his/herâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comfort.

78 Relevance of Chawls in Contemporary Architecture -by Yemul Rutuja

Abstract Abstract The Mumbai’s chawls: a ubiquitous yet misunderstood, housing typology often compared to tenements and clumped with slums.? How do they feel inside? Is it true that such buildings saturated as they are by the changing urban form, are often viewed with a sense of nostalgia of what once was and what now can never be? Are these features of these chawls useful in today’s modern world of housing? Do they contribute to the spatial planning? In Mumbai, there is a vast array of unconventional living conditions that arrive out of necessity. Overcrowded living conditions in these dense neighborhoods promote social habits like public sleeping in communal areas, people bathing in the open, storing one’s belongingsa in common spaces, and even the sharing of civic amenities such as water taps and toilets. The common corridors of the chawls are like an extended living room to the houses while the doors hardly remain closed. The life here, is beyond just being enclosed in the gated communities and individualistic set-ups. In contemporary times, the paradigm of nuclear living set-ups has been reflected in the way new housing typologies have cropped up across the city. Hence this research paper discusses about how these spaces like verandha , courtyard,etc. help in the bonding of the people living in the chawls or how do they contribute in the social interaction
