Building with Nature

Title, Year: Building with Nature : Balancing the urban growth of Kochiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coastal wetlands with their ecological structures, Kochi, India, 2013 Studio, Type of Project: Delta Interventions, Urban Planning Strategy Group / Individual: Individual Mentor / Studio Tutors: Anne Loes Nillesen, Saskia de Wit, TU Delft, Netherlands

The project takes its roots in the annual floods that Kochi, a coastal city in India, is faced with. The city also faces rampant destruction of mangroves and an urban development that follows no particular structure. This master thesis aims to tackle both these problems through an urban development strategy that responds to the flood and landscape characteristics of Kochi. For this, a toolkit is developed after studying the flood and landscape (blue and green) characteristics of the city. Studies on Landscape Urbanism and Building with Nature concepts aid the toolkit. The toolkit consists of zandmotor engine and mangroves to build beaches, wetlands and canals for flood management, other vegetation for ecology, public spaces and infrastructure for urban development. The strategy is realised by implementing the tools in phases. Phasing is done such that after every phase, the project makes sense for the city. This is to get around the existing indeterminate nature of urban development. Strategy starts off with a regional flood management and shoreline stabilisation strategy. This is the base for the sub-regional design, where phasing is done. Phase 01 involves cleaning up and networking of existing canals ensuring a constant water flow through the city. Phase 02 is about creating a green structure for the city. The green structure is realised by planting trees and plants along existing lines of infrastructure, abandoned railway lines and canals. To make the bluegreen structure a part of the urban system and lives of people, Phase 03 is to create a continuous structure of public spaces along this blue-green structure. Along with public spaces, infrastructure should also be laid out next to them. In Phase 04, the corridors established in Phase 03 is extended along the blue-green structure to realise the lagoon and waterbased urban form. This is repeated in the local scale also. A wetland, useful for flood management but threatened by urbanisation, is selected for this. This thesis shows how tools available on site can be used to manage flood and guide a cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development using its own structure.

Making a Blue-Green base from the Regional Strategy for the SubRegional Scale Strategy

The Blue-Green System can be seen as a Figure of Voids like in MelunSenart, Paris. Urban development will take place around it.

Beach, mangroves, wetlands, canals aided by post-industrial sites and infrastructure compose the Structure. The Structure will guide the urban development.

Sketch of the realised design. The beaches are formed with the help of sandmotor engines and mangroves. The bridge over the wetland replaces a road that previously dissected the wetlands. The wetland is further unified through canals and water bodies. The public space network consists mainly of a boardwalk that reaches out to the boat ferry in the south and connects it to the beach on the west. Urban development is guided through infrastructure and public spaces along the east of the wetland where it is safe.

Democraticising Urbanism

Title, Year: Urbanism on Track: Edges, Rotterdam, 2012 Studio, Type of Project: Urbanism on Track, Urban Design Group / Individual: Group +Individual Mentor / Studio Tutors: Dr. Ir. Stefan van der Spek, TU Delft, Netherlands

This studio project was focussed on making urban design interventions based on walking patterns which were tracked using GPS devices. This revealed different features like Routes, Destinations, Edges. The GPS tracks revealed a highly divided city centre with very few walking routes. The edges were were studied on four parameters - Permeability, StayMove, Seam-Barrier and Desirability. Coolsingel and Rotte were narrowed down based on Desirability. Rotte was further analysed to find out how the genesis of Rotterdam became a barrier in the city centre of Rotterdam. Rotte can be converted to a seam where people can come together. A SWOT analysis was done to find the main focus areas. Activity is encouraged along Rotte by introducing formal and informal activities along the canal creating a route. The existing routes, made visible by street furniture like trees and pavement, will connect larger destinations at different points of the canal.

The dead canal can be brightened up by activities like canoeing. Water birds like ducks and swans can make the canal more lively. The existing decks can be stepped into the water where kids can feed the birds. These will ensure that the canal is lively and active.

The church square though renovated also suffers from lack of intense activity. A new mixeduse building on the north of the church makes use of a commercial ground floor with a few street side cafĂŠs. This pattern can be followed on the other buildings in the same line to bring more stationary activity to the square. More seating can be provided for the same.

Food City

Title:, Year: Toolkit to Design a Food City, Haarlemmermeer, Netherlands, 2012 Studio, Type of Project: Spatial Strategies for the Global Metropolis / The Why Factory (T?F), Regional visibility of food, short transportation lines, hub of food knowledge, mixed-living environments Planning Group / Individual: Group Mentor / Studio Tutors: Ulf Hackauf, Herman Rosenboom, TU Delft, Netherlands The assignment was to design a city of 7.1 x 7.1 km for 500.000 people which would produce it’s own food. Four starting points form the base of the project - visibility of food, mixture of different living environments, city as a hub of food knowledge and short transportation lines The 7.1 km x 7.1 km city plot was divided into blocks of 355 m x 355 m called tiles which had 8 different functions assigned to them. The four borders of a tile were defined as ‘voids’ so that there could be different possibilities for its design when it came in contact with another tile. For the remaining area of the tile, a set of rules was defined which guides the design of the tile. The placement of these tiles in the city map is guided by city rules, while the resulting combinations are defined by the combination rules. This set of rules forms a toolkit, which can be used to design a food city.

Combination Rules When the tiles are placed, combinations between tiles start appearing. To guide this combination in the right direction a couple of possibilities for what is happening in the voids are defined. When designing one of the combination possibilities is chosen and designed per void.The given combinations define the voids on both tiles.

Tile Rules

Whereas the city rules define the outlay for the city,

tile rules define the tiles. These rules say everything about the functions, GSI, placement of food production, road placement, dwelling typologies and height, public space and public transport within the tile. Although the rules are strict, there is a certain flexibility possible within the design of the tile. 19

Regenerating Neighbourhoods

Title, Year: Making a Public Network, Nijmegen, Netherlands, 2012 Type of Project: Socio-Spatial Processes in the City, Urban Design Group / Individual: Individual Mentor / Studio Tutors: Qu Lei, Luisa Calabrese, TU Delft, Netherlands

In the neighbourhood of Waterkwartier in Nijmegen, there is a healthy amount of open spaces in the neighbourhood. But most of these spaces are private spaces. There is a need for more public space and a public network. A SWOT analysis was done. The Threat here was a proposal of huge residential blocks which would destroy the neighbourhood character as well as the opportunity to have a central public space. A Hierarchy of Spaces is organised. This is supported by different programs and landscape. The square is big enough to hold a fair or a flea market and can thus take various roles in the course of time. The building in the square ‘hugs’ the square, acts as the square’s anchor and also provides more spaces for personalisation. The building is an interactive building with a public roof garden and external walls for graffiti. The movie screen set on the front external wall can be used during the night for outdoor cinema. The programs inside the building makes sure that the residents are attracted to the square. The masterplan connects all inner semi-public spaces and commercial open spaces to the central public space.

Typology of Spaces

Revitalising Traditional Markets

Title, Year: Redevelopment of Ernakulam Market, Kochi, India, 2010 Studio, Type of Project: Bachelor Thesis, Urban Design, Heritage & Conservation Group / Individual: Individual Mentor / Studio Tutors: Prof. Dr. Sunil Edward, College of Engineering, Trivandrum, India

Connected to the rest of the state by water, soaked in heritage, the Ernakulam Market mustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a sight to behold when it started to function in the early 1900s. But today, the market sits in a filthy environment with the water as its backyard and heritage, hidden and lost. The aim of the project was to reinterpret the role of markets in a common manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily life and to give Kochi an image that relates to its heritage, traditional commercial culture and water. The study at the macrolevel area addresses the wider context and studies Land Use and Traffic. The microlevel area studies morphology, heritage and conservation, and activities of the area. Studies at the intervention area studies the market building, the square, pond, canals, canalfronts, linkages and services concluding on a hierarchy of spaces. The canals which were the transportation corridors are considered to be the Approaches. The Market structure which is a heritage structure in itself is considered to be the Destination. There is no proper square but a large open space which caters to a wide variety of activties. The square along with the adjacent pond is be the Pause before the Destination. The traffic was studied to help the redevelopment. Parking should be given on-street according to demand. Vehicular segregation according to timing and roads should be made. Basin Road is proposed to be pedestrianised between 10 am and 8 pm while the Market-Kuttapayi Road link is proposed to deviate the traffic from Basin Road. Some organization can be brought in by creating more 1 ways.

Giving Back Heritage

Title, Year: Giving Back Tradition, To Revivify the Heritage Core of Trivandrum, 2009 Studio,Type of Project: Urban Design Studio, Urban Design, Heritage and Conservation Group / Individual: Individual Mentor / Studio Tutors: Dr. Binumol Tom, Ar. Shailaja Nair, College of Engineering, Trivandrum

The location is the Fort Area in Trivandrum. Agraharams are rowhouses inhabited by Brahmins, a Hindu caste. Their daily lives revolve around their house and street. The general pattern of the house is as thus: street - puramthinna/verandah - ulthinna/foyer rezhi/living room - thalam/courtyard - adukala/ kitchen - bath - backyard. These houses are long, narrow and windowless on the ground floor. The puramthinna allows for interaction with the street and becomes a social space for the whole street. Renovations have covered the verandah leading to a closed street facade. The aim of the project was to develop guidelines to expand these rowhouses keeping in mind the heritage character of these buildings. To expand these houses, the living room and kitchen are linked by a verandah in the ground floor. This gives more room on the first floor. The floor to ceiling height should be 2.4 m with a 2-storeyed house being a height of 7 m and a 3-storeyed house of 9 m. The houses will retain their sloping roofs with glass tiles. Only light colours like white, off-white, beige etc should be used for the walls. The puramthinnas should be left open. In case of not being able to left open, the existing gaps between flights of steps can be joined to form a seating area. This can bring back the street life as to how it used to be.

Corporate Office

Title, Year: PBS & Sons Corporate Office, Hospet, India, 2010-2011 Office, Post: InForm Architects, Bangalore, India / Junior Architect Type of Project: Architecture - Office Buildings Principal Architect: Kiran Venkatesh The PBS & Sons Headquarters was designed as the headquarters of a mining group in Hospet, Karnataka, India. The design brief contained cabins for Directors, conference rooms and office staff. The building has a highly geometrical form with a twisting stair, inclined walls and craters in the floors and ceilings. All this has helped impart some interest to the otherwise banal requirements of the project. I joined the team after the design was done and was mainly involved in preparing technical architectural drawings and solving issues that cropped up during construction. Following are some of the drawings that I made. The Flooring Layout details out the tiles to be used for flooring. The Electrical Layout was made for more detailed design by the Lighting Designer. The RCC Staircase was a challenge to work on given the inclined nature of the wall. The geometry of the building gave rise to very interesting rooms and sections.

Urban Riverfront

Title, Year: Sabarmati Riverfront Development, Ahmedabad, India, 2008-09 Office: HCP Design and Project Management Pvt Ltd, Ahmedabad Type of Project: Urban Design - River Management, Urban Design, Heritage Conservation Principal Architect: Dr. Bimal Patel

The Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project (SRFD) in Ahmedabad has been running since over a decade back. The Sabarmati River which runs through the city of Ahmedabad lacks urban significance inspite of being a strong element in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. The project envisioned taming the river along with bringing the river closer to the people of the city. The riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s profile was altered and its sides walled to give the water a defined flow. The reclamation helped people get back their land which was eroded by the river. Some of the reclaimed land are to be sold for business development thereby generating revenue from the beginning itself. Walking promenades were designed and built to bring people closer to the river.
