Mass Housing
INTRODUCTION Studio IV – MASS HOUSING The studio researched the potential of the application of combining unit design for the economically weaker sections and the middleincome sections to the development of housing in high-density low-rise urban environments; in a site of Patel Mills in eastern Ahmedabad setting to examine ways in which these modular compositions can be arranged to create public and private spaces and connections with their existing urban surroundings. The design process was initiated by developing the unit plans for accommodating 2 people who was later incremented to 4 people and 6 people and consequent cluster assemblies considering the strategies of linking and stacking on a hypothetical site. Later stage allowed modification of the units and the cluster according to the circulation, services and structural grid. Cluster was supposed to be derived using 50% of 2 people unit and 25% of 4 people and 6 people unit each. Before planning and designing on the actual site a case study was given which involved detailed analysis and understanding of the site which involved understanding the surroundings and identifying the architectural elements. Along with the design certain other and most important considerations made were in terms of services, circulation, response to climate and refinement of edge condition based on context. Thus each student had a different approach to the design based on the site context and his/her inferences. The studio not only introduced various design aspects for mass housing but also taught how one can design housing for weaker and middle-income sections of the society without compromising the basic needs, facilities and quality of space.

EXERCISE-I Developing the units and cluster On commencement of studio, we were told to make a house plan in which two people are going to live. They can be anyone but in my case I considered a couple is going to live there. No restrictions were provided like optimum sizes, areas, etc. Later, we had to design the units for four and six people respectively, by adding spaces to the unit of two. We then had to make a cluster of 24 units with 50% of them being the units of two people and the other 50% the units of four and six people on either of the considered sites of 25x50m. or 35x35m. The units were to be seen as blocks and were to be linked and stacked so as to create interesting spaces while having each unit sharing at least one wall with another. After the cluster was finalized, the services and structure had to be taken into consideration which led to some changes in the cluster and the units.
Unit Development Main focus was how different spaces in unit were connected and responding to each other. Started with Grid to have a modular plan but in initial design stages it got lost, when different functions were put together. More sides allow to have more accidental spaces created for people to interact (outside) & more chances of having openings to allow light in on favorable axis (inside) but as size of unit increases, having more edges results in longer circulation between spaces

EXERCISE-II Community Mapping - Group Work After having a basic idea of our units and cluster, we moved on to second part of studio in which we were given our site, Ghandhi Medan, an empty plot where once stood the Patel mills but now only its debris are to be found. To understand the context of site, we were allotted areas around it to study and document them so as to understand their functioning, how they operate, what different aspects of architecture effecting the people and how, what are the general consequences of prevalent systems existing in the society, etc.

After mapping various aspects of site context largely, we took a small part of it to show the activities through drawings which we drafted ourself. This plan is from Choksi ki Chali which has a large open space majorly used to celebrate fests, functions and as a parking space during night time. Normally, kids used to play cricket there in day time.

EXERCISE-IV Designing Mass Housing After studying and experiencing the context of our site (Ghandhi Medan), like how it operates and respond to itself as well as other societies, how it is affected by them, how people feel and their reactions to this context including how they adapted; we were asked to produce five such conditions/observations (inferences) which have an impact, either positive or negative, on the working of society and more importantly which caught our attention. Based on these five inferences, our site design concepts started thus producing a base for our concepts. After the completion of the analyses, the group of five had to divide the site into 2 parts in 40% and 60%, giving the 40% to the government. We had to divide the rest of the 60% in five part for the group, giving each person an individual site to work on.

Notes
Each open space is connected to at least two other open-spaces
Heirarchy of Open-Spaces Unsymmetrical & Organically Developed
Open-Circulation
Making circulation facing open Spaces thus interactive spots can occur leading to connectivity in society
Site Division The area which is given to govt. is the area comprising most of the greenery of the site but in such a way that it is surrounding us, so that even after giving that part of the site, we can still enjoy its natural aspects. Moreover by providing a large open space in the heart of the site we are inviting people from all over the context to come there and celebrate the functions like navratri, dussehra, etc. together. A paved road connecting throughout is what we proposed to the govt.

Common Gathering(at corners or junctions) - nukkads
Being at corner provides more chances of people to get together and talk, thus more social relations are made.

Mostly visual connection with society compromises privacy or vice-versa. By changing the space elevation a little, compromise can reduce.

Ground Floor Plan
My main focus was how to bring society together. as my site is divided into two parts, there needed some attraction or spot to tempt people to come there and merge with the rest of the society. On masterplan level, the central common space which we have in our group site plan is focussed by radial axis, i.e. streets opening towards that part. On individual site plan as well, i have given central open spaces while following the heirarchy of streets, and then the houses are facing towards those open space.
Ground Floor Plan Design Limitations no specific clustering can be seen which shows everyone they are part of same housing, one corner of site not responding to another.
Final clusters Two types of clusters made up so that similarity and connectivity through-out housing remains. Cluster Design Consideration Provide terraces on one side, mostly facing outward to other societies and open spaces, and double heighted shaded areas on another (service areas lie one above another).

Major Design Considerations • Main central open space from masterplan is focussed. • Double-heighted shaded area running all inside the society. • Staircase in open, moulding according to building, not used as a medium to connect ot buildings only. • Ample no. of terraces facing outward giving longer and wider view to occupants which brings context inside society. • Otlas running all around units.

JURY COMMENTS Designing Mass Housing After giving so many sleepless nights to our projects we finally got the chance to evaluate it on a much wider basis. After explaining to the jury my design and what I wanted to create, they asked me what I liked about my design the most. My answer was the continuous double-heighted shaded areas (which is really a must in ahmedabad) and the stair-case and they agreed with the first but one of the faculty said the staircase is not working completely, and also that instead of continuous double heighted region, I could have had varying heights in that. My bedrooms were having a window facing inside community space which reduces privacy.
