WHAT IS UXD? Experience design doesn’t replace innovation. It complements the efforts. Innovation should augment and extend the current portfolio and brand. Innovation for existing products, services, and user experiences. It starts with visibility into how you act and then fixing problems and enhancing strengths.

Measuring that value from the user’s perspective, and continually investigating new areas of value that are natural extensions for the user. When you look at the world in this way, it becomes easier and more natural to proactively identify gaps between what a user may need or expect, and what they are likey to get.

What great about architect’s perspective of UX is that it’s incredibly relevant.UX designers are digital architects and we can all learn from each other.

The site is located in Kanchipuram district at the southern most region of the state Tamilnadu.It lies on the east coast road connecting mamallapuram On its North , it bounded by the chennai metropolition city. The highest point in the site is 7m and the lowest point in the site is 4m and the slope is towards the east side. Due to the backwaters near the site there is an natural slope in the site emerging from 7m to 2m to the backwaters.
Failure of monsoons leads to distress condition.Northeast and southwest monsoon are the major donors, with54% and 36% contributed each to the total annual rainfall.during normal monsoon, the district recieves a rainfall of 1200mm.

Open atrium
Project Area : 15772.0 sqm The old building had a great little gallery, the Wunderlich, which hosted some top shows before it was demolished. The Gallery has returned bigger and better – like a big empty swimming pool, the new Dulux Gallery is submerged, sitting half a level down in the big ground floor space.
Perspective Section through various levels
The environmental demands of the cartesian grid. The southern facade is the bluntest, polished precast concrete panels punctuated by an abstract composition of windows. The fenestration was designed from the inside out to vary the feel of identically sized teaching spaces ranged along its length. The northern, eastern and western facades are more filigreed, each draped in perforated zinc veils to block unwanted summer sun.
level 01 - Studios and exhibitions
Timber staircase Exploded view of core placement
At once conspicuous and invisible, the stainless steel mesh that gift-wraps the atrium provides fall safety while doing away with more opaque balustrades. Staircase are 1:3 gradient and criss crossing pattern. The steel trusses that run along the base of the grand stair for example are left fully exposed, machine markings and all. Each corner of the building expresses a unique way to execute junctions between materials.

URBAN SCENARIO I Traffic
TRAFFIC ANALYSIS Traffic analysis was done on a 1 week study basis by calculating the traffic congestion.during peak hours the vehicular movements is restricted to a speed limit of 15 km/ph.Not much traffic are faced in region of roads that are well maintained such as the boat club road.no proper pedestrian paths crossing systems undefines institutional building traffic.
Adyar, like cities in the modern period surrounding area urban development, traffic pattern, built density, activity patterns etc, were recorded.Detailed surveys were conducted in the surrounding neighbourhood to record the aspirations of various user groups and stakeholders as part of the public consulation process. The neighborhood gets its name from the Adyar River which flows through its northern limits. Adyar and the neighbouring Guindy had been used as hunting grounds by British officials of Fort St. George from the 1680s onwards though Adyar is first mentioned as a suburb of Madras only in a map from the year 1740 when the British purchased the village and integrated it with the Madras Presidency. 17
Schools that are housed centrally and floods the region with traffic at peak hours stag the place during the morning and late afternoon on weekdays.Major roads that connects the guindy and parrys are filled with commercial buildings and showrooms.
Adyar started to grow rapidly at the turn of the 20th century following the founding of the headquarters of the Theosophical Society by Mrs. Helena Blavatsky here in 1883. Following the establishment of the Theosophical Society headquarters, the Kalakshetra, a cultural organisation to promote traditional arts and culture was established by Rukmini Devi Arundale at Adyar in 1936. The 1931 census records Adyar as a zamindari village in Chengalpet district. Adyar was included within the Chennai Corporation limits in 1948.

URBAN SCENARIO I Infrastructure ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION
AVERAGE CONSUMPTION ANALYSIS This urban mapping includes the various information that has been used for the average infrastructure consumptions on various needs such as water, electricity, solid waste and sewerage management. The water distrubution is genrally pumped from a local pumping stations in certain amount of million litres per day basis, accordingly to the usage of that particular area.The amount of electric consumption is also measured by calculating the amount of units used in an average home.
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Water consumption
Electric consumption
Solid waste
Sewerage
The total amount of solid waste generated is also calculated in different areas.The amount of waste is collected individual household is average of 2 kgs in which an average amount of solid waste is approximately arounf 2500 3500 kgs depending on the usage of the area.
SEWERAGE CONSUMPTION
Sewerage average consumption is 85 - 120 LPCD in which each of the house has an average members of 3 - 5 peoples.The water is distrubuted from Kottur garden with 8.1 ML/ day to the perungudi S.T.P via L.b. road transfer station. WATER CONSUMPTION

GEOLOGY AND GEOMORPHOLOGHY
URBAN SCENARIO I Infrastructure
URBAN SCENARIO I Infrastructure SEA-WATER INTRUSION The flow channel downstream the kotturpuram bridge experience tidal influence.
WETLANDS They help in retantion of water during dry periods to keep the water table high and relatively stable.During periods of floooding, they reduce flood levels and trap suspended solids and nutrients and restrict their entry into lakes than if they flow directly into them.Conservation of such wetland systems into urban areas or other undesirable uses typically leads into deterioration of water quality.
FLORAL SPECIES Tidal is categorised as 3 main deposits based on occurance -Paleo Tidal Deposit -Tidal Flat Deposit -Strand Flat Deposit
GEOLOGY AND GEOMORPHOLOGHY The geology of Chennai comprises mostly clay, shale and sandstone. The city is classified into three regions based on geology, sandy areas, clayey areas and hard-rock areas. Sandy areas are found along the river banks and the coasts. Clayey regions cover most of the city. Hard rock areas are Guindy, Velachery,Adambakkam and a part of Saidapet . -An alluvial plain of Cooum and rivers -Coastal plain -Pedi plains in south west corner of the area, south of adyar Adyar

The area in the water thats between MSL and highest tide level are proposed to be planted with Mangrooves which cuts down coastal wind resulting in reducing heavy rain and purifies the water.The area above the highest high tide level are to be planted with terrestrial plants.The buffer areas to be planted with grass and reeds.
Coastal winds High tides Ecological disaster means when a river carries a certain amount of water, it generates certain flora and fauna, certain livelihood and life support systems and levels of groundwater.The observation on these wetlands, have a direct bearing to the eco-restoration efforrt at adyar estuary as it conneccts to some of these wetlands specially Pulicat and Coovum on the north and palllikaranni swamp on the south through exchange with the sea.

FLOOD INNUNDATION MAPPING
FLOOD RISK ZONES ALONE THE RIVER BANKS Chennai received 1,049 mm (41.3 in) of rainfall in November, the highest recorded since November 1918 when 1,088 mm (42.8 in) in of rainfall was recorded.Chennai was officially declared a disaster area on the evening of 2 December. Chennai and its two adjoining districts of Tiruvallur and Kancheepuram primarily get rainfall through the north-east monsoon (October-December) and the annual average is around 1300mm.
PROBLEMS DUE TO FLOODING In 2009 plans were finalized for extension of the secondary runway 12/30. This included a bridge over the Adyar river. Agreement betweenthe state government and Airports Authority of India (AAI), to convert the existing check-dam into a bed-dam with a height of 0.30 metres. The runway would go above this bed dam.Most of the IT companies and other major constructions on the Old Mahabalipuram Road are on flood plains and wetlands. The change in landuse leading to inccrease in runoff volume with reduction in time of concentration encroachment along the banks of the river.Inadequate storm water drains and their poor maintenance.In urban waterheds, innundation occurs even for a low intensity- short duration storm. 23
REASONS FOR FLOOD AND ENCROACHMENT 1. Legal, 2. Legalized and 3. Illegal. The government constructions on water bodies and flood plains can be called legal; the encroachments by corporates are legalized encroachments; but the poor who occupy the most unhygienic and leftover space in the city and who succumb to wilderness of floods are categorized as illegal encroachments. All three types of encroachers should be evicted in order to protect the city from flooding but at the same time, the poorest of the poor who have occupied the city water ways needs to be se-settled and rehabilitated within the city and within three 3 KM from their current domicile units. 24

By proposing a new interpretation for the informal settlements by highlighting the beauty of slums through understanding the hidden order beyond the apparent chaos, and spontaneously reflecting it on the design, making it more familiar and welcoming for the community
SITE DETAILS
The concrete and brick finish of the built form are given so that it gives an feel of their own space.This community centre provides oppurchunities for various craftsmen to support their skills. The economically upper community in this area provides their credit by planting in the community centre and supporting their skills by buying from their local community.
The Community centre also functions and has the healthcare facility. These built forms generate electricity from the solar panels.The various spaces inside the build forms is linked by bridges within the building.

SECTION The longish homes consisted of the mudhal kattu (receivingquarters), irandaam kattu (living quarters), moondram kattu (kitchen and backyard) and so on. Most houses had an open to sky space in the centre called the mitham, large platforms lining the outside of the house called the thinnai and a private well in the backyard.

SITE JUSTIFICATION
61
ON ZAM BAZAAR
The reason to choose this site over other sites is because ,it has a cultural influence from decades, experiencing a high footfall each day. It is a major centre of trade and commerce in the city (banana leaves). Encroachments on the site have led to the loss in its cultural importance. It has been analysed that among all other cultural sites in triplicane , Zam is the only site which is underplayed while the Wallajah mosque and the Parthasarthy temple still retain their cultural characteristics.
Zam bazaar is one of the age-old markets in triplicane.It was started by a parsee named clubwala who came to india during the time of the nawabs. At present,it is run by a trust. The word “zam” means community. It is a major centre of trade and commerce in the city. The trade of “banana leaves” is carried out through the zam bazaar. It experiences a varied range of crowd from muslims to hindus. It is a centre of native doctors having all natural medicines.
Over the recent years, zam bazaar underwent changes but it was not able to retain its rich culture , as the changes made were half-hearted. Therefore, changes made should be complete in order to retain/revive its cultural importance. Hence it is important to provide a design solution which will last long to prevent this cultural precinct from losing its importance.
This bazaar contains about 800 shops which run all seven days of the week. The bazaar experiences a even more higher footfall on Sundays. The items available in the market are sold at a minimal range . currenly, the zam bazaar is not maintained well and no cleanliness is seen at the market. On rainy days, the scene is pathetic. Hence ,utmost attention and care should be given to resolve zam of its problems.

METROMART METROPOLIS - MARKET
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
PARKING TRAFIIC SOLUTION WHY PARK ? Observed from the documentation the precinct lacks in public spaces. This provision of a park like setup also encourages more people to take up walking as clearly evident from the development of the Chennai Marina stretch. After its development more people were sighted in that area everyday early in the morning.
WHY SHELTER ?
Parthasarathy temple is the oldest temple in the area and is the main reason for the settlement of Brahmins in the surrounding. During the festivals the main garlands are got from the zam market and it brings a high footfall.
TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
The rag pickers were found lying on the streets and on the encroachments inside the market. This caused a lot of problems for those that used the market in the early mornings. The idea to provide shelters for the them will encourage their livelihood. This shall also be considered a stepping stone of shelters for such houses.
CONSIDERING TIME, WHY TIME ? Time is a major aspect of urban morphology. Time is used as a key element in the transformation of a place, i.e. ITS A CYCLE. While transformation the functions are limited or sometimes no functions at all, But in this design the market functions throughout the day The transformation happens simultaneously with respect to time
INITIAL The three different functions are park, market and a house for the rag-pickers. The changes happen so simultaneously that the changes can be observed
INITIAL STAGE 1 First function is that of a park at 5 am to 7 am. The unloading of goods happen simultaneously in the bays and as the shops start opening up it gets converted to a market
STAGE 1 The roads across the market face high traffic congestion due to the high footfall. The lack of parking facility in the market forces the user to park their vehicles in the road, thus increasing traffic due to unorganised parking. The congestion is further increased during namaz times because of the existence of a mosque in front of the market. The market causes high conjestion. The market lacks proper parking facility for the customers and shopkeepers to park their vehicles on the street. Zam bazaar market is highly conjested with many hawkers and many people visiting the market.
STAGE 2 The second is that of a market from 8 am to 10 pm and after thatthe shopkeeper starts winding up things and that is when the role of a shelter sets in.
STAGE 2 STAGE 3 The rag-picker sets in by 11 pm after collecting waste(if any) from the site.At 5 in the morning once people start walking in they start to leave from the place.
STAGE 3 63

AN UNIQUE INTERPRETATION THE CASE STUDY
An installation inspired from the VIP LATRINE METHOD. The walls in the market require immediate attention and thus a cavity wall is added with a opening from inside the shop for disposal of waste into the wall ,thus providing a easily accessible collection point. A black coloured metal rod is inserted inside the cavity which is exposed to direct sunlight and this heats up the metal rod leads to stark effect. The waste are in direct contact to the earth thus the liquid waste are infiltrated into the ground.
RESOLVING SPACES FOR SHELTER THE TRANSFORMATION Encroachments rose due to inadequate storage space in the shops. In the proposed plan, the encroachments are removed which are compensated by giving vertical storage space in the shops. Thus the pedestrian pathway is increased. Thus A buffer zone is created which avoids confusion in the pathway and improves the movement of the public in the market.The addition of vertical storage in the shops satisfies the space inadequacy
The market is transformed into a park by widening the pathway from 1m to 3m. Landscape elements are added to improve the aesthetic appearance and also seating is provided for people to take rest and also to have a view.
VIP LATERINES
BIOGAS METHOD AND LOCATION Bamboo replaces teak as it is more durable and is locally available. It is used for the street lighting to cover the wirings from rain. It does not corrode away when exposed to harsh hot weather and freeze thaw conditions. Dwarf walls are created using the rat trap bond masonary. These walls are used on the periphery for seating and it also controls the traffic noise.

PROPOSED SITE PLAN THE TRANSFORMATION
PROPOSED SINGLE UNIT - SHOP AND SHELTER THE TRANSFORMATION
The market is designed to be flexible. The walls which need attension in zam bazaar have been designed as an installation, such that spaces can be flexible in function. The walls can be installed as well as removed easily without waste in material and also the spaces can be linked together, thus eliminating the need of encroachment in the market
Net made of Re-inforced fabric webbing is partailly transparent and enables trade in evening. The material is highly durable and the person sleeping inside the net would feel safe, secure
REINFORCED FABRIC WEBBING
The bamboo is fixed in ground with supports.Hollow blocks fixed in bamboo poles for the purpose of easy installation and dismantelation and very economical.

SUSTAINABLITY IN MARKET
UMBRELLA MARKET A FOURTHCOMING PROPOSAL
MULTIPLE FOCAL POINTS - NODES
PROBLEM AND PROPOSAL
With grid planning being followed in the market there are many focal points thus creating congestion. This congestion can be controlled by widening the focal points. Also a street light is installed in the center of each focal point for safety. The pathway is well defined by adding buffer spaces at each focal point. Also the pathway is defined with difference in materials where ever necesary for clarity in movement. Every drop of water that falls on the site is drained to the storage tank and then purified for re use. The primary sump is placed under the junction of pathways for easy maintenance water is recycled and re-used. Mainly,This is connected to main sump from whichwater is recycled and re-used. Mainly for restroom purposes.
SINGLE UNIT - RESOURCES
Street lighting is done at every focal point to enable proper lighting in the night time. These lights get their power from the bio gas plant and thus they do not have to depend on governemnt for electricity.
EXISTING SHOPS
69
Trolley system has been installed in the parking areas for betterment of the people. As soon as they park their vehicles , these trolleys can be used for carrying the various items purchased by the people at the market. these can be unloaded at the parking lot once the purchasing is over.
One Main disadvantage of Open-Air Mtarket is that it does not function properly durning rain season and causes trouble ot the user end. So,Umberlla is an Unique way overcome the problem of Both Open-air market and guarding from rain. These two post on the bottom are attached to an single post and this post leads to the ground of the market for collecting water in storage tanks.
