ROBOTICS AS FUTURE BOON ! RESEARCH ON ROBOTICS
Robotics engineering is a field that deals with designing, structuring, building and application of robots and the use of computer for their processing and manipulation. In a country like India, where there is a steady increase in industrial and economically revolutions, the field of robotics would help in speeding up the manufacturing process and hence usually help increase the output. The output thus achieved is at most accurate and also help in developing artificial intelligence system with virtual systems to test their performance. In present world robots are replacing humans where conditions are hazardous, tedious and manipulative in industrial units, space ships, atomic plants, mines and deep-sea vessels. The computerization of work through robotics has greatly increased productivity.
Thus, architecture along with this artificial intelligence creates spaces that respond to the environment which is sustainable, portable and transfigurable that impacts the world. Thus the project aims to develop a robotics centre that would develop a bond between present and future. The project also aims to create spaces that do not harm the existing environment features in the site.
HUMANOID ROBOTS : A humanoid robot is a robot with its body shape built to resemble the human body. The design may be for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes, such as the study of all locomotion, or for other purposes. In general, humanoid robots have a torso, a head, two arms, and two legs, though some forms of humanoid robots may model only part of the bodyfor example, from the waist up. Some humanoid robots also have heads designed to replicate human facial features such as eyes and mouths.
PURPOSE : Besides the research, humanoid robots are being developed to perform human tasks like personal assistance, through which they should be able to assist the sick and elderly, and dirty or dangerous jobs. Humanoids are also suitable for some procedurally-based vocations, such as reception-desk administrators and automotive manufacturing line workers. In essence, since they can use tools and operate equipment and vehicles designed for the human form, humanoids could theoretically perform any task a human being can, so long as they have the proper software.

TRANSFIGURAL BACKDROPS
Each shell can be attached or detached having different combination of spaces, maintaining the at most possibility of private, semi-public and public spaces. The shell arrangement includes display shells, landscape shells and office shells. The different arrangement thus leads to different backdrops in all the sides of the shells.
MORPHOLOGICAL USER : Since each shell can be used differently as it is interchangeable, the design serves a multifunction usage of each spaces thus maintaining the liveliness of the environment. For example, the waiting area can also be set for robot demonstration area which engages an interest in visitor’s mind.
ALONG THE LINE : A simple 3mx3m grid is built in which the steel hollow sections are aligned to form a complete framework. The grid shows the easy and effective way to build a shell in right proportion thus allowing a regular pathway for the multiple users.
TRANSFORMATION OF SHELLS : The various frameworks that are left empty can be used as any shell in near future. Thus, the design achieves a sustainable and transformable approach when in need of extra office spaces or display pods. Whenever the spaces need a change, the shells can be broken down into multiple or added beside each other or have vacant spaces therein.
DISPLAY SHELL : The display shell is most commonly used in museum building. The convertible display shells have fixed clear glass as material in all the 4 sides. The arrangements are made in floor level to have the hierarchy of spaces. These arrangements also tend to arrange the important shell in eye sight level and giving more importance to the displayed robots.
DISPLAY GLASS
OFFICE SHELL : The private shell has glass and metal panels for the interior and exterior purposes. The glass is given to let the sun every day and the folded door possibly opens to enter into the space.
OFFICE SHELL
LANDSCAPE SHELL : The shell is of 3m x3m in size which is also similar to the framework for office units. The landscape shell regulates the air flow inside the building and is also used for aesthetic purpose. Since they have the same framework, they can be easily fixed and removed for relocating them in some other location.
PERFORATED FRAME
APPROACH TO EACH SPACES : Since the whole site is grid pattern based design, the approach for a user is free flowing pattern regularised by shells given in dense clusters. The user can directly guide them by understanding the visual comfort of the spaces that is planned according to the necessarity of the user.

BUS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM
urban design brts
BRTS is designed as a strategic intervention, to attract lattern transist demand, improve air quality and help the city remain compact. This has made several innovations in the planning and designing of the system including a fully ‘pedestrian and transist’ only street section at one location and a one-way bus lane to manage narrow right of way. At a larger level, BRTS has demonstrated that BRT system can work in INDIA.

TYPICAL 30m ROAD SECTION SWOT ANALAYSIS STRENGTH The flow pattern of the people is high in this route and helps to save the travel time between their destinations. The “RIGHT OF WAY” in SAIDAPET is ample width of 30M making it easily accessible. There are around 14,400 people accessing this route per hour at peak hours.
WEAKNESS “RIGHT OF WAY” in GEORGE TOWN area is very less. Being a “MERCHANT HUB” it has more access to the people and makes it more congested. The roads are being used as a PARKING SPACE that leads to the TRAFFIC.
OPPORTUNITIES
THREAT
The route passes through the heavy residential catchment areas like TRIPLICANE, GOPALAPURAM, TEYNAMPET, etc which makes the proposal viable for usage.
The corridor contains the highly secured areas that won’t match with the requirements of the free flow of the BRTS.
Due to the location of SECRETARIAT and other Government bodies the public transport is minimized or idealized at intervals, proposing a BRTS makes the people around this area to get benefit through this reaching their destinations on time.
The corridor has many “HERITAGE BUILDINGS”. The corridor passes through one of the Porsche commercials zones that can’t be altered or shifted at any cost because of “HIGH NATIVITY”.

OPPORTUNITIES The corridor links the Residential Zones, Institutional Zones and also Commercial zones together in a single corridor. The corridor serves mainly in linking the commercial hub to the inner city.
PASSENGER PER DIRECTION/HOUR
At the peak hours due to the INTERNODAL BUS TERMINUS there is high amount of traffic. “RIGHT OF WAY” is very minimal in count in GEORGE TOWN making the proposal impossible .
THREAT Due to the presence of CENTRAL RAILWAY STATION it makes people to access and easy for carrying their goods whereas it is impossible in buses. Due to the decrease in the right of the way in the aminjikarai there is a need to clear a few parts of commercial zones which is highly impossible and will raise a social issue amongst the vendors. .
It can solve the major congestion happening during the morning peak hours. Due to the high settlement of COMMERCIAL HUBS the buses create a heavy traffic in the GEORGE TOWN junction which eventually slows down the flow of the vehicles and also the free flow of the ambulance to GOVT HOSPITAL. Thus providing a BRTS corridor could solve this problem easily and decreasing a part of city’s major traffic.

THORAIPAKKAM
ZONE 02
Thoraipakkam, is a popular and one of the busiest places in Chennai. It is one amongst the family which is termed as the IT expressway in Old Mahabalipuram Road, now known as Rajiv Gandhi Salai in Chennai. The Thoraipakkam- Pallavaram Radial road running east to west connects the IT corridor and the GST Road (Grand Southern Trunk Road) making Thoraipakkam well connected to the airport especially after the opening of the flyover (ROB) at the western end of the radial road in October 2010.This road plays a significant role, enabling quicker and easier movement of traffic between the major arterial roads to the south of Chennai including GST Road, Tambaram-Velachery main road and Old Mahabalipuram Road.
THORAIPAKKAM JUNCTION Thoraipakkam, is a popular and one of the busiest places in Chennai. It is one amongst the family which is termed as the IT expressway in Old Mahabalipuram Road, now known as Rajiv Gandhi Salai in Chennai. Thoraipakkam is on the eastern banks of the Pallikaranai marsh which has been designated as a reserve forest area and is one of the few remaining significant natural ecosystems within Chennai . Thoraipakkam is 3 km in length, starting from Perungudi to its north. It is located exactly in the middle of the OMR Road (Like Sholinganallur or Navalur).
ZONE 03
PALLIKARANAI JUNCTION Pallikaranai is a neighborhood and a fast-growing residential area in South Chennai that is situated in the banks of the Pallikaranai wetland. Pallikaranai is surrounded by Madipakkam in the northwest, Velachery in the north, Perungudi in the northeast, Kovilambakkam in the west, Thoraipakkam in the east, Nanmangalam in southwest, Medavakkam in the south and Karapakkam in the southeast on ECR. The road are queued up with Green Marsh on either side of the road which encourages for the rearing of cattle which eventually makes a big disturbance in the Traffic Flow and also encourages Accidents due to uncontrolled rearing of the cattle.
ECHANKADU JUNCTION Due to the construction of flyover linking the MEDAVAKKAM and PALLVARAM THORAIPAKKAM stretch it has decreased the space for the motorist making a major congestion in the traffic flow in this area. Though it increased development it has paved way for traffic congestion, but also led to minor accidents daily because of the high settlements of COMMERCIALS in the surroundings of Echankadu Junction. The lack of medians in other stretch which connects Puzhuthivakkam and Vanuvampet also risks commuters.
ZONE 04
PALLAVARAM JUNCTION Pallavaram is considered to be one of the oldest inhabited places in South India due to the major finding of archaeological element in Pallavaram. The greenery in this area has paved way for the massive Housing, Industrial, and Commercial complexes settlement . The Pallavaram Thoraipakkam Radial ring road acts as a key access to Transport hubs and instant connectivity to the IT Corridors. Moreover due to the affordability of the Mid-Segment buyers there is a massive settlements of residents in this area which stays in close proximity to the Educational Institutes, IT companies, Hospitals and Retail Hubs.

BRTS CORRIDOR
PROPOSAL BRTS CORRIDOR
A
High performance BRT systems typically have a single common station for both directions—like a central railway platform—rather than having two bus stops, one for each direction. Such stations are located in the central verge between the two directions of movement and offer access to buses moving in both directions. Special BRT buses, which have doors on the right side with no steps, access such stations. There are many advantages of single central stations. Central stations are cheaper to construct and maintain Central stations are smaller and are up to 40 percent cheaper to build and operate than two bus stations on either side of the central bus lanes. The central station requires a single entry area and single set of turnstiles, whereas the two bilateral stations each require their own entry. They Central stations also optimize the use of street space. Ease of passenger transfer between routes Centrally located stations make it easier for passengers to transfer from one bus route to another without having to exit the station and cross a street, irrespective of the direction of the two routes. Street edges (left side) have many conflicts Private vehicles slow down to park on the kerb side or turn left to access a side street or property at the edge.

While intersections can be a cause of delay for BRT systems, they can be designed and managed to reduce the delay. At intersections where BRT buses need not turn, a dedicated two lane grade separator (underpass or flyover) only for BRT buses can be created. In situations where a grade separator is proposed over intersections for private motor vehicles, a split flyover design should be employed. Such a design allows BRT lanes to continue at ground level between the split flyovers constructed for each direction of private vehicle movement.
High performance BRT systems typically have a single common station for both directions like a central railway platform rather than having two bus stops, one for each direction. Such stations are located in the central verge between the two directions of movement and offer access to buses moving in both directions.

PROPOSAL BRTS CORRIDOR
PLAN
BRT 30m WIDE ROAD
Standard BRT configuration with overtaking lanes BRT can provide high capacity and high quality service if the elements are designed appropriately. Treating BRT only as a road infrastructure improvement project leads to low capacity and poor system quality. Critical elements include system management, operations planning, a dedicated BRT bus fleet with easy boarding and alighting, and placement of stations. Segregated bus lanes are a primary requirement for the success of a BRT. A standard BRT lane requires approximately 3.5 metres of road width while stations are generally 4-5 metres wide. In some very narrow sections, station width can be brought down to 3m but should be avoided as a general practice. A standard busway with a single lane in each direction will require 8-9 metres road width in a mid-block section and 12-13 metres road width at a BRT station location. BRT stations should be designed to accommodate articulated buses even if only 12m buses are to be used to start with. Designing stations to accommodate articulated buses results in a marginal increase in cost but increases system capacity by close to 50 percent. The pedestrian access to the centrally located station via crosswalks is to be elevated to the level of the sidewalk (e.g. +150 mm) to ensure reduced vehicular speeds and safer crossings

BUS STATION
DETAILED PLAN
BRT Stations are planned and designed differently from that of a normal bus stand. Stations are placed at an average spacing of 500 m, relatively close to intersections for easy access, but not at the intersection itself which leads to sub-optimal performance. Stations should be placed at a minimum of 37 m or more off intersection stop lines to allow sufficient space for bus and mixed traffic queues. Centrally located BRT stations which enable ease of transfer from route to route require a width of 4m within the right of way. BRT stations are planned on a modular format. Each module handles the docking of one bus in each direction and also leaves enough room for the next bus to manoeuvre into position. At busy stations, multiple modules can increase capacity. Bus lanes at BRT stations have a high level of wear and tear because of the frequent bus breaking to slowdown and dock. Further the load of vehicles is on two narrow bands. It is advised that BRT lanes be constructed of reinforced concrete.

Pallikaranai Marsh A large part of south Chennai was historically a flood plain comprised of Pallikaranai Marsh, smaller satellite wetlands, large tracts of pasture land and patches of dry forests. The smaller wetlands that surrounded the Marsh served as the only source of irrigation for the area. The first known external manipulation of this system was the laying of the Buckingham Canal. Further, the presence of the freshwater aquifer running parallel to the coast contributed rather significantly to the expansion of the city’s boundaries in the south. One of the fundamental factors facilitating the degradation was the categorization of the marsh as a pasture land and the absence of a State Land Use Policy. The uniquely heterogeneous hydrology and ecology of the Pallikaranai Marsh makes it one of the most diverse natural habitats of the country. It supports 349 species of flora and fauna including 133 species of birds, 10 species of mammals, 21 species of reptiles, 10 species of amphibians, 50 species of fishes, 9 species of molluscs, 5 species of crustaceans, and 7 species of butterflies and about 114 species of plants including 29 species of grass.
SITE PLAN It has been proposed that Pallikaranai Marsh would be an ideal site for a public space. Two watch towers have been recently constructed by the Forest Department to make bird watching easier and binoculars are available for bird watching. A project titled Ribbon Walk has been proposed for Pallikaranai Marsh on the Thoraipakkam – Keelkattalai Radial Road, whose design elements and cost estimates are provided. It is proposed to develop and construct a dedicated Wetland Centre at Pallikaranai Marsh whose key features would include education and awareness, training and capacity building, research and monitoring. For enabling local communities’ participation in the management and conservation of Pallikaranai Marsh establishment of a Local Interest Group (LIG) through a well-entrenched Eco-tourism programme, for engaging in protection and conservation is proposed. Hence, it would be necessary to collaborate and discuss these requirements with the resident welfare groups for efficient management of the marsh

UNDERSTANDING SLUMS The urbanization process has been the prime reason for the mindless and incessant growth of cities. The needs of globalisation are met with bigger cites and influx of large amounts of migration from the rural sector, some of them without any space for themselves in the city. The concept of development has become very reductionist in its view catering only to the built form for a certain sect of the population. The rate at which the cities are taking over is proportionately creating a conflict space wherever this urban sprawl meets such social disparities.

The total slum population of Tamil Nadu in the selected 63 Municipal Towns as per the Census of India 2001 (provisional) is 2,838,366. This forms around 20.02 % of the total population of the selected Towns. The largest slum population is found in the Chennai Corporation where 10,79,414 persons are reported as slum dwellers
Chenna i has returned a Slum Population of 1,079,414 persons. The number of males (548,517) outnumbers the number of females (530,897) in the slums of Chennai. The proportion of the Slum Population in Chennai to the total population is 26%. The ratio is higher than that returned for the City as a whole. This indicates that in general more males are migrating to the city in search of employment and otherwise.

SITE THIDEER NAGAR,CHENNAI SITE AREA : 4.25 acres
THIDEER NAGAR is a small slum settlement in Chennai prevailing over a period of 40 years. It is situated across the banks of Adyar River providing shelter to almost 500 families. The people here are of different caste and creed but they show perfect Unity when problem arises to their livelihood. The terrain is 7m above sea level and they are under the surveillance of Mylapore Taluk. The people had to choose this place because it is being passed on from their ancestors who settled here in 1970’s as Daily Wage workers in the Construction field. At present the Occupation is widely dependent on the Surrounding Posh residents in neighboring areas like Boat Club, Mylapore and Raja Annamalai Puram. Many families who are being shifted from Thideer Nagar along the Adyar river in Saidapet, barely know anything of the city outside their locality. A. Kadhar, a 51-year-old resident running a small business, says the area where he has lived all his life is the only world he knows. “People are slowly being shifted to Thoraipakkam to government flats. Three generations of my family has been calling this place our home and now, all of a sudden, things are changing,” he says. “If the government were to build us concrete homes on an elevated place in the surrounding area The locality along the Adyar river, below Maraimalai Adigal bridge, is now nothing but a sight of broken houses, children playing in sewage, livestock lazing in the muck and heaps of garbage. ch e n n a i

TYPOLOGIES OF HOUSE Only 64% of the houses are of a permanent nature in Slum areas. Semi Permanent and Temporary houses form the rest in equal proportion. The picture in non-slum areas is in sharp contrast- almost 91% of the houses are of a permanent nature. Semi-Permanent houses form 5% and the rest are of a Temporary kind.
The availability of living space within the house is also a vital parameter for good health. Slums in Chennai show up adversely as far as this ndicator is concerned. 67% of the households in slums live in one-room tenements. Only 2% of the households in slums have more than 2 rooms. The cramped accommodation has its natural impact on health and hygiene. The spread of diseases is facilitated by such living conditions.

Sanitary Facility The availability of disposal arrangements for liquid as well as solid wastes has a great impact on the environment and consequently on health of the people. 30% of the households in slums did not have any drainage facility. Of the rest, 14% had open drainage facilities. Thus,44% of the slum population was exposed to grave risk of several diseases. Provision of safe disposal facilities for wastes is thus an item that should figure very high on the list of priorities. There is no proper or planned Sanitary Facility in Thideer Nagar. The government has set up 2 common toilet, one for men and one other for women comprises of 6 cubicles each which is set up at the one corner of the Thideer Nagar for 500 families. It is not a sufficient amount for 500 families and due to the accessibility issues people tend to prefer OPEN DEFECATION instead of running to the common toilet. Moreover the common toilets doesn’t have Water tanks and Water pipes remains broken without any proper maintenance. They remain closed for past Two years and residents in Thideer Nagar are facing a Trauma in Sanitary issue.

2010
Due to the heavy monsoon in the month of December 2016, Adyar River was flooding vividly which washed off the few parts of the settlement in Thideer Nagar. Though there wasn’t any loss of life the monsoon forced few people to evacuate from Thideer Nagar due to the lack of Protection from the Adyar River by any High Raised Compound Wall to prohibit the Entry of overflowing water into the Human Settlement. During the monsoon Thideer Nagar was flooded up with 5ft of water inside each dwelling due to the raised road level.
In early 2010 government has allocated an area for the people in the Thideer Nagar and Government has built few houses for around 40-50 families and they have also set up a new road pattern, even Street Lights were erected to create a Planned colony in Thideer Nagar for its development.Soon after the transformation due to the change in the government rule, these settlements were cleared up in a day .Street lights, dwellings,and roads all were cleared up in a single day. The people were evacuated to Thoraipakkam Slum Board affecting the livelihood of Thideer Nagar and at present only a few Residues are remaining in the Thideer Nagar

2000
Thideer Nagar residents are facing this problem from mid-2005 and finally a handsome of residents were evacuated in 2006 and it is still continuing. Due to this unplanned shifting the entire Livelihood of the people is being affected and they lack the similar comfort in Thideer Nagar when compared to others. Since the occupation of the people is dependent on the neighborhood areas of Thideer Nagar it is very tough for their travel and Residents who are shifted to other places let the place for rent. They again repack to Thideer Nagar.
During this time there wasn’t a major intervention from the Slum Clearance Board because few leaders from the Thideer Nagar have approached the government officials and they have filed a demand not to evacuate or disturb the settlement in the Thideer Nagar who are being residing in the same place over 30 years.

A little more than one fourth of the Chennai population lives in Slums. Slums in Chennai are greatly disadvantaged as far as quality of housing and availability of basic amenities like drinking water, electricity, latrines, drainage, non-polluting fuels and the like. Any improvement in the standards of public health will have to start in the Slums.

SWOT ANALYSIS Strengths The informal settlements have been taking the onus for providing ‘affordable' housing within the city, both rental and ownership. In Delhi, the current formal supply of housing fails to cater to 76% of the population.
Weaknesses
O
The market is sensitive to affordability but lacks in gauging the dwellings' adequacy. ie A slum may be considered affordable, but is not adequate in terms of safety and services. The self-constructed nature of these settlements, coupled with lax controls, lead to substandard housing- (Fig below) shows settlements in Thideer Nagar unauthorized colonies and JJ which suffer from infrastructural, material/structural, accessibility, light and ventilation issues to name a few.
N c t i
For decades, slum dwellers in Thideer Nagar, have been asking the authorities to lay a sewer line in their area. With only one public toilet for over 300 families, sanitation and hygiene has become a major problem.Only a hand few residents who are financially strong comparing others in Thideer Nagar have set up Toilets in their shelter and others are still following the Open Defecation.
Thideer Nagar is not serviced initially by corporations. However, these services are time as the slum-dwellers constitute a siz population. The basic services of access, drainage and energy are met over period incremental infrastructure development i of slums.

Opportunities
Threats
New developments can learn from how the informal settlements create a context-sensitive dense, high-ground coverage, low-rise, mixed-use typology that provides space necessary for housing, commercial, and industrial needs of 76% of the population.
However the informal settlement remains affordable within the city because the ‘informality' creates a buffer in the real estate values, therefore merely ‘formalizing' it would not work.For those tempted to maintain the status quo of letting informal settlements provide affordable housing; standard supply-demand logic coupled with lack of formal supply would lead to escalation of real estate values and eventually drive out the ‘affordable' aspect.

Thideer Nagar is vibrant communities of people. They incorporate a whole range of social and community spaces and facilities. From the most minimal space for social interaction at the door step to the optimum community spaces for various social and cultural activities. They have an ever evolving network of social institutions. Central to their social well-being is the concept of sacred space. Every street has a niche, small shrine depending on their faith. This provides them with much needed spiritual strength to survive and struggle.

TYPOLOGIES OF HOUSE
TYPoLOGY 1
DETACHED HOUSE ISSUES: Land use inefficiency
Detached houses are common all over the world and are made in different designs, materials and structures. The advantages of a detached house are that it offers privacy, provides distance between neighbors and offers more floor space compared to attached housing.
TYPoLOGY 2
ROW HOUSE ISSUES: No Expansion,Lack of Ventilation
For better or worse, each new building alters the existing streetscape and changes the overall neighborhood identity. The most successful ones add variety to the urban landscape (whether in scale, typology, or materiality) and respond to design intent, market demands, and zoning requirements, all while enhancing the neighborhood they inhabit. Additionally, successful infill construction deals with building adjacency; how the building “meets” a neighboring building without sacrificing either the new construction or the existing building. Unsuccessful ones however, can become eyesores in the landscape and do a disservice to the adjacent context.
TYPOLOGY 3
THE HIGH RISE ISSUES: No Expansions No sense of belonging
In most of the efforts taken to improve conditions of urban squatter settlements by architects and designers- there has been the eviction of squatters, and re-settling them in vertical, high-rise buildings. In most of the designing of these buildings as replacement for squatters, their usual living pattern had been ignored- no open space for social activities and children had been provided. Moreover, dwellers were not involved to the process of the development. As a result, no ‘sense of belonging’ worked for those urban squatters on those settlements. One of the common characteristic in slums is that these are consisted of vibrant communities of people and incorporate a whole range of social and community spaces and facilities within their living. For example, every slum has a niche; small shrine or temple, mosque or church, based on their common faith, where they meet and have social gatherings.

CONCLUSION AIM OF DESIGN
SELF-INVOLVEMENT IN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION The squatters can continue to play a central role in the design and construction of their homes and communities with the help of architects. Contemporary architectural practices and researches can set some design examples of low-cost ecological living settlements with basic living conditions provided (like-sanitation, water, electricity etc); these designs should be adapted to climates of different regions. The designs must fulfill the first condition of being affordable for urban squatters. Then, they should fulfill the criteria to be built in easy, traditional methods by the owners. Squatters have always been the architects, engineers and builders of their settlements, and here they can also play the role. The goal here is to use the knowledge and skills of the formal sector in complement to the skills of the informal sector- building quality houses without foreshadowing the participation of beneficiaries.
INCREMENTALITY Incremental housing is an affordable way to rapidly resettle many families at a minimum housing and services level by linking the energy of families ith the large-scale city planning. It provides secure title and maximum flexibility in housing decisions. City expansion becomes predictable and effectively uses limited funds and administrative capacity. But it is more than housing. It also builds citizen s and communities develop social networks that can support services and small scale commercial opportunities.
HOUSING SOLUTION THROUGH DESIGN In this point of designing high-rise settlements for urban poor, which the land value demands but contrary to their living attitudes, thoughts of Architect Laurie baker (1917-2007) could be mentioned. The architect was renowned for his initiatives in cost-effective energy-efficient architecture Question is, on the question of re-designing squatter settlements as healthy living units in the 21st century cities, how the option of designing ‘high-rise, stepped building structures with dwelling units in combination with open spaces’ for squatters is being considered?
SCOPE OF DESIGN 1 Establishment of the families in a consolidated urban area 2 Incremental construction without neighborhood deterioration 3 Saltey and economy of expansions 4 Design with community participation 5 Without eviction sqautter Settlement
EACH LOT = 350 ft² THE BUDGET = 6 L-7.5L Design Intervention Question that comes is- can this way of living not become a typology itself, when provided with all the necessities of a healthy living? These dwellings are using optimum space and resources from nature, which is the indication of living sustainable
Extension The dwelling units can be built in the form of skeleton with ‘floor, roof and core’ on various floors based on the concept of evolutionary housing, thereby introducing time into the process of design. Evolutionary design defines the house-core relationship, i.e. the design of a built core, its location and the development alternatives for various stages of growth, both horizontal and vertical, around the core.

COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS With the increase in cost of material and labour, there is a need to adopt cost effective construction methods either by up-gradation of traditional technologies which sources local materials or by applying modern construction materials and techniques which optimises inputs, leading to cost-effective solutions
Sharing Column Clustering prototypes make each house more affordable by sharing structure, walls and infrastructure.The funds saved in this clustering process will be transparently calculated and used for public amenities.This technique can save 33% of column cost
Precast Concrete Construction with precast concrete slab is sustainable, economical, high quality and earthquake-resistant. Thus, the only definite solution providing affordable mass housing, particularly for EWS & LIG categories, is to adopt tried .Precast technology becomes an optimal choice due to reduced construction time and lifecycle cost of buildings. It provides both speed and quality of construction and also capitalizes on the advantages There is no raised plinth cutting the overall cost by saving the usage of P.C.C and Filling
“Icrementality “ is achieved by above mentioned following amenities. Blank walls are being erected on all sides in the Ground Floor for the Future Expansion by the capital investment from the Individual Dwellers. The spaces are designed only in the First Floor and later the space in the Ground Floor can be Planned and Designed to each Individual’s desire and taste. Thus there is perfect empowerment in succeeding the concept of “INCREMENTAL HOUSING”
From all these discussions, we can say that, Thideer Nagar people always face insecurity regarding the ownership of the place where they live. But if they are provided assurance from Government organizations for actively participating into improving their settlements, the living condition into these squatters can improve rapidly. Looking at the characteristics and formation of squatter settlements all around the world, the living units in the slums are perhaps, the best examples of the most optimum utilization of living space. Moreover, the squatters use minimum building materials to create their living space ,which is mostly adopted in our design.
