OBJECTIVE OF RESTORATION In order to address ecological issues and to implement long term measures as the holistic solution to restore the ecology of the Adyar estuary, a Master Plan and Detailed Project Report for Ecological Restoration of Adyar Creek and Estuary was prepared and restoration activities is being carried out.

The objective of eco-restoration of Adyar estuary and creek is to achieve and maintain best feasible water quality in its riverine and estuarine stretches and thus provide an opportunity to bring back the natural (endemic) life forms that interact with abiotic elements and create a healthy ecosystem. Improving and maintaining water quality to a level that can support a balanced population of phytoplankton, zooplankton and nektons is the real way forward towards the stated objective.

MICRO LOCATION OF SITE Church street is one of the busiest streets in central business district, Bangalore, India. It is a 750-metre stretch from brigade road to st. Mark’s road, which runs parallel to m g road. A “Tourist hot spot”, the street is one of the major revenue-generating areas and popular new year’s eve celebration centers in the city. The street is so called as it leads directly to the st. Mark’s cathedral.

In 2017, redevelopment work began on Church Street at a cost of ₹9 crore, which made it the first street in the city to be paved from granite cobblestones. The cobblestones were laid in a Kasuti pattern to reflect Karnataka’s cultural heritage. Shortly after completion, there were reports of cobblestones coming apart on certain sections of the road.

Map of 1900 AD The area used as the residence of the british generals and officials, most of them were bungalow.

Many Chrurchs were built around the site. Area was mostly occupied by christians. South parade ground was the major road.

Map of 1948 After Independence the government developed the entire area as the bengaluru central district with all governal buildings were built around the site. which gave opportunities for rapid development of the space.

The lake areas and the cubbon park area were used for development.

Map of 2000 to Present.

There has been a rapid growth of development in the area post Independence, there has not been a significant change from 2000 to present in terms of ground coverage.

The residential area started converting into commercial space during this period of time.

1. Lack of conservation can lead to extinction of traditional methodology of construction 2. Lack of recognition can diminish traditional values regarding the beliefs and culture.

ROOF PLAN

BRACKETS: Brackets are provided in the front portico are highly decorated with natural motives here they are used to highlight the richness and they add on the curb look which gives appealing exterior look.

The bracket is divided into three parts where uppermost portion is highly decorated with floral motifs and leaf patterns drawn over wood only.

DOORS: The doors are of various categories divided across the residence.

The main doors are profusely carved and are framed. The lower frame is di or tri- panelled and is surmounted by an ornamented frame that is fixed using natural glue and huge nails.

Ornaments is inspired and ideated from natural sources such as flower, braids etc. The density of the ornamented frame is reduced due to the carving and at present it appears to be made of POP. Hence, leading to false appearance of the material used.

JALI WINDOWS: Jalies are widely used in niches across the residence and have one side view.

They allow partial lighting and are excellent coolers.

FURNITURE DETAILS

TABLE

COLUMNS AND SUPPORT SYSTEM: There are varieties of columns used here, generally exterior ones are decorative columns and few interior ones are simple without any decorative elements.

Each type is unique here with few tapering columns. with decorated base and few with decorated capital, and few completely decorated from base to capital.

Since roof and floor height varies, sizes and heights of each columns varies in high range.

There are columns used as aesthetic element of structure and as part of support system also.

Simpler columns are clearly for functional purpose.
