Chapter - 1 Introduction

Introduction

Introduction The area in the middle of the city is usually congested. Also, the greater part of the public administrative buildings are situated in the middle of the city. These buildings are vital for the city and the spots they are associated with. Because of expansion in populace such building’s necessities likewise increment after some time, and in such circumstance it may not be possible to move the building to another area. So, in this situation the main task is how the building of such a space should be different from typical building.

Aim:

So what can be the answer to such an issue by associating with the building, and it tends to be utilized multiplely. To determine the issue of congested space of the city. I’m consolidating the public administrative building and the urban edge and making it more accessible to engage the place and people.

- Understand the importance of municipal corporation in society.

Public administrative buildings play vital roll in urban life. They provide hygiene, sanitation, urban infrastructure as well as social and economic upliftment of the people. Also they are associated with the dayto-day life of the people.

- Understanding of the characteristics of the functions and respective spaces.

The 2001 earthquake in Kutch province was devastating. Lots of buildings collapsed. In the last 10-15 years, almost all the government buildings in Bhuj have been newly constructed. While the municipality building is still in dilapidated condition. Its precinct integrates various functions such as gymkhana, city bus stand, and open-air theater. The Gujarat government has additionally given a proposition for new development of Bhuj municipality building. Therefore, I would like to re-imagine the public administrative buildings through my design keeping in view the municipal building. 2

- To explore the idea of the public administrative building.

Objectives: - Identify the shortfall of the existing building. - Estimate the scale of new municipal corporation building.

- Creation of the qualitative open spaces & multifunctional spaces.

Inquiry: - How a public administrative building can act as catalyst to solve urban/ neighbourhood level issues?

- What should be the quality of different types of multi-functional spaces?

Fig 18.Wind inlates inside the building Fig 12.Entrance foyer of CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre

Walls & openings, Aerated concrete blocks used for facade, which provide thermal insulation and brick’s jaali walls to prevent heat gain and glare during day time. Double glazed glass panel windows filled with Argon gas to improve thermal quality of space inside.

Terrace, 60% roof used as a terrace garden to keep the space under-slab remain cooler. Fig 13.Terrace view

Windcatcher, Fresh air through wind towers. Fig 9.CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre

Fig 15.CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre

- Amalgamation of traditional-modern-contemporary architecture - 80% recycles and local material used in construction - Low VOC(Volatile Organic Compound) paints, adhesives, sealants, etc used in building to enhance indoor air quality

- Passive Downdraft Evaporative Cooling (PDEC) method is applied in the building. - In summer, the inner temperature is achieved 28°C - 32°C, even when the outside temperature is 40°C - 44°C. - The overall fluctuation in 24hrs is 3°C - 4°C,while outside is 14°C - 17°C. - The overall civil work cost was about 12%-13% of the cost of the conventional building. - To keep the building thermally stable, an RCC frame structure and brick cavity walls with vermiculite as infill material is used. To prevent solar heat gain, internal and external sides have been plastered. Inside is plastered with vermiculite as an insulating material and the outside surface painted white. Hollow concrete blocks infilled in roof and external surface used china mosaic finish. - PDEV can be very appropriate passive cooling method for hot and dry climate region. - The windcatchers and exhaust towers become the primary elements of the architectural form.

Issue identification:

Inferences: Built vs Open : Almost all buildings follow the 40%-60% ratio of the built vs open, where 40% is built and 60% is open space.

Fig 46.Courtyards, waterbody, massing in a way that creates space by giving shade to each other.

Fig 47.Alternative construction as well as material technology required to tackle such climate like, cavity wall(left), filler slab(above)

Climatic concern : - Need to control over heat gain & glares - To explore passive cooling methods - Multiple courtyards for air circulation & fresh air for inner environment - Sun breakers with plantations - Local natural vegetation, which - Refreshes polluted air - Creates healthy environment - Act as a sound barrier (traffic noise) - Demands minimum maintenance

S.W.O.T Fig 45.Possible basic site zoning from the study of surrounding building use

Fig 44.Issues occuring around the site

Building use : - Morning and evening, people from the hostel and residential area can come to the site for recreational activities. On the north side of the site, where commercial activities are taking place, there is heavy traffic and noise pollution. Therefore, the recreation area can be placed in the southern part of the site. And the north edge is commercial and the central bus-station is also close by, so functions like city bus-stand and parking can be placed in the northern part of the site Therefore, excessive movement, noise and smoke from vehicles cannot disrupt the refreshing activity. - Green patches can be added between city bus stands / parking lot and main office building. So, less noise and more clean air can be achieved in the building.

Fig 48.Longer projections to avoid heat and glare

Fig 49.Inner courtyards with local vegetation, helps to break the direct sun-light and provides cool & fresh air inside the building.

Fig 50.Alternative stratagies of passive cooling shown in the above sectional diagrams such as plantation on facade, central court, wind catchers, etc.

Strength: - Site is located in-between the important public buildings and institutes - Bus-station and rikshaw-stands are at the walking distance from the site Weakness: - There is heavy traffic on the road next to the site - Site is shaped as a long strip Opportunities: - Along with municipality, amenities like open-air theater, city bus stand and public park are also to be coordinated Threats: - Due to the very defined edges surround the site, there is no scope for site expansion(if needed in the future)

Chapter - 5 Concept & Design

Concept & Design

Re-imagine: Belongingness: - Idea to create architecture, living being. - To break the circle of time and enable the visitor the opportunity to pause, wander or simple lose him/herself. - ‘Exception’ gives opportunity to dialogue. - Is it the people we meet or the memory of the building that carries us? (memory & association) Characteristics of ‘belongingness’: - Transitional spaces - Movement patterns - Varied vistas/thresholds - Play of light & shadow - Dialogue between building, user, surrounding - Climate concern - Multifunctional use of space - Flexibility From the book: Balkrishna Doshi: Architecture for people

Fig 54.Proposed solution for current complex administration functionality

Fig 56.Built forms around the context

Fig 58.Diagram of light & shadow, volume

Fig 59.Diagram of light & shadow

Material & construction: - R.C.C. frame structure to achieve long span spaces with less intermideate columns - External walls: Lime + fly ash brick Lime + sand + crushed brick + water(mortar) - Locally available materials & its provide better strength & thermal stability - Natural lime plaster

Fig 60.Diagram of transitional space

Flexibility: Is it possible to create a kind of space which is specifically tuned to the needs of people working, and yet capable of an infinite number of various arrangements and combinations within it? Fig 61.Diagram of transitional space, vistas, climate concern, multifunctional spaces

It is in the nature of office space that certain informal, semi-permanent arrangements grow more permanent over time (for example, furnishing, filling systems, “ownership” of special spaces or windows). This makes the occupants resistant to change. Though they may be willing to move when the growth of their own working group is at stake, they will resist moving strongly, as part of any general office reshuffle, caused by the expansion or contraction of some other working group. As far as the geometrical layout of the columns is concerned, we found that it works best when there is essentially a central space-with aisles down the sides-and the possibility of forming the bays of aisles into workspaces. The illustration below shows the general idea, together with the ways this pattern may be transformed after a few years. Lay out the office space as wings of open space, with free standing columns around their edges, so they define half-private and common spaces opening into one another. Set down enough columns so that people can fill them in over the years, in many different ways-but always in a semi-permanent fashion. Lay the workspace out in such a way to make it possible for people to work in twos and threes, always with partial contact and partial privacy.
