Kohinoor - Commercial Complex Mixed Use High Rise Commercial Complex

Located in the heart of New Town,a rapidly growing city extention of West Bengal this project aims to ease out with other structure nearby proposing to magnetize the commercial hub in conjunction to public interaction. New Town in the North Eastern Fringes of Kolkata is a planned city connecting Netaji Subhash Chandra Airport & Salt Lake City as corridor in between. The location is such that it has close proximity to NH34 of North Bengal, Bidhan Nagar & Dumdum Railway Station which are very vital and busy parts of Kolkata.

The site being located adjacent to Major Arterial Road a high speed corridor between the Airport and Saltlake with a close proximity of Metro Station nearby allowing rapid accessibility with variety of transit modes. In this already growing CBD the various structures nearby falls under category of recreation, residential, hotels, restaurants, malls, goverment buildings & museums. Some of prominent structure are Biswa Bangla Gate, Rabindra Tirtha, Novotel, Axis Mall, Lemon Tree, Clock Tower,etc.

The site has a high potential for a mixed use typology commercial complex which can facilitate Offices, Banks, & a competition to a nearby Axis Mall which somehow fails to reach its potential customer base. With this project proposed there will be a sudden spike in traffic flow as being commercial hub which could anchor the population to shopping marts, showrooms, departmental stores and ofcourse facilitating the cinema and food-court.

As the site is surrounded by roads on three sides the entrance to the building also has been designed to have three way entry. The site is perpendicular to north and the major arterial road travels on east to west direction if travelling towards Salt Lake City. It was an advange to have a north facing site which allowed to harness most of daylight into the building by using a glass facade and on the southern direction to resist against the heat ferro-cement conctrete panels with air insulated glass panels have been installed. This is how the predominant materials for building was derived. So as per the area requirements and grouping of functions the number of floors had been calculated prior to which was assigned the height keeping the floating circulation and vertical transportation systems in mind. Now we have B+G+9 levels where the basement, ground, 1st & 2nd floors were acting as a public builing and the 3rd floor is semic-public where the bank layout has been assigned connecting with a public terrace which occasionally also acts recreational area.

Rest of floors above are office spaces that could be lent out. There is a seperate entry at back for staff members using the bank and office spaces. A reserved lift to maintain the security for cash-flow of the bank has also been kept in mind.

As we travel through the arterial road in both direction the building had to be attractive enough to fit into context of New Town which will not only attract the traffic but also spread its words inside the city. So a symmetry has to be adopted which will also have a quite an area of urban plaza at the ground floor. The idea of a diamond shape was well suited with the 3-way entrance and public plaza which also followed symmetry.

Along the above 2 floors the form resolved around the circumference managing its built up area. A sky well has also been introduced to light up the huge space below with the attractive landscape.

Shantidhara - The Goshala Transforming Goshala to a holistic farm

Background: During 1970s there was white revolution in India because country was facing shortage of milk as the indigenous breed just gave 8-10 liters of milk and we were at the phase of growth, so we donated our cows outside for public use but still then it wasn’t meeting the required amount. So the question was how to increase the production which led the import of genetic mutated cows from outside which gave double the production. But that milk we drank led to various diseases like diabetes, cardiac arrest , etc. Global trend has shown the increased rate since the white revolution and India ranks in the topmost charts. We are at the stage where even adolescents are suffering from it and it can’t be cured permanently even with modern medical science, it just can be surpassed up till a certain extent.

Since agriculture is mostly seasonal, many people by dairy farming have A year-round possibility to find employment. Small / marginal farmers and landless people are the primary beneficiaries of the dairy program. 42% of farm households operate on up to 2 ha and 37% of rural households are landless.

These landless and small-scale farmers own 53% of cattle, providing 51% of milk. Small / marginal farmers and landless agricultural workers therefore play A very important role in the production of milk in the country. The key occupation in broad urban regions, where the market for milk is strong, may also be taken from dairy processing. Thus the scope / potential of increasing milk production is enormous in India. Governments of central and state provide considerable financial assistance to the development of milk production infrastructure.

Introduction to Shantidhara: “Shantidhara” which is a trust in Madhya Pradesh formed in 2010 but with a downfall again bounced back in around 2016 for the preservation of indigenous cows, organic farming & organic products. They attempted to do bio-medicines and cosmetics items from the by-products of these cows. The revenue is generated from selling dairy products, bio-medicines and organic farm products. Their goal is not to create a cash-cow set-up but to achieve sustainability of the goshala practicing the vernacular ideologies keeping in mind the ecosystem and environment. However, they are struggling to establish a financial sustainable model for running this experiment. This is one of the common causes of the failures of the goshalas in India which makes them struggle in the longer run.

In this project I have addressed all such issues such as declination of Bous Indicus (zebu cattle) and methods of promotion of a2 milk industry, rejuvination of symbiotic relationship of human and cattles in the community and upgradation of rural economy by solving the maximum horizons to it as per some limitations and scope of work.

Keeping these factors in mind the basic zoning of the site happens to be majorly in 4 categories: 1.

Site Plan

shantidhara

The topography of the site is such that the watershed from the nearby site surrounding is a critical issue specially in the monsoon season. So the approach towards planning the site was such that at the lowest contouring regions to manage the waterlogging issue the watershedding has been channelized through the three ponds at site and the over-flown at the canal giving us a good value of reservoir. At another lowest most region the forest has been planted which in turn gives us fruit-full benefits of micro-climate and a lush green site. In a near-by proximity to forest grazing paddocks are also proposed giving a uniform green-zone. At the very opposite extent of site where another low lying land exists, the out-flowing services has been managed such has manure-pit with Bio-gas facility, ETP plant, Waste-water and all the sludge getting treated, recycled & reused for cleaning, landscaping & industrial use.

This project has been designed keeping time frame of more or less 15 years, the growth of bovines as per probable fertility rate, male to female ratio & death rate we can identify the herd strength based on age, sex, pegnancy and lactation cycle. The capacity of accomodation is provided for approximately 4000 bovines as per site requirements. Present strength of shantidhara is having 500 cows and after interpolating in coming 10 years if managed properly by the administration, the strength will be approx 4700 - 4800 which includes both milch and non-milch cows where shed for suckling calves designed seperately. By the end of 15 years we will have strength of approx 10000 cows out of which milch cows will have strength of more or less 4000 in number which can accommodate in the proposed building. Later in the timeframe of 15 years a separate accomodation for non-milch cows can be designed on a separate site when the organization profits. Whereas when the herd being surplus the female cows can be donated to farmers in the local to again contribute to dairy plant and have a share of earning which will promote entrepreneurship and the male for irrigation purposes which helps in symbiotic balance.

The Milking Corridor has been designed such that it has four number of Typical Cow-Sheds each accomodating 1000 number of bovines. The shed is a G+1 structure & has been designed in such a way that it has 5 number of rows at each level accomodating 100 cows each. The form has been developed by staggering both the levels at end nodes giving us a well-defined Open Court and roof tops with above material as grass-dirt connected with ramps. These open spaces allowed bovines to bask under the sun and exercise in free air which made it a non-captive environment under a controlled management.

So as to manage huge number of 4000 bovines where there are multiple animal husbandry activities from milking the cows to removal of the huge amount of dung & sludge everyday that too at two different levels was itself a challenging task especially if done manually. So the whole process should be automated, saving the time & to match with daily farm rountine. Hence, machinery & robotics come in play where two numbers of Rotary Milking Machines had been installed each for two different levels which milks 2000 bovines morning-evening. The challenging task was to bring in cattles from there individual position to milking area which was established via common corridor termed as -"the Spine" with the help of Drafting Gates which runs over the rails that easily manages the herd flow, controlling the traffic in combination with Traffic Control Gates which maintains the herd to be in a queue & move along in a uni-directional format. The sludge is also scrapped with the help of Automatic Scrapper which runs on a simple pulley mechanism also directing its flow towards Spine and then chutes all of it to the Manure Pit where its all treated at ETP and the output is then used in variety of applications.

At the Milking Station the major challenge was to manage this huge number of cows and to milk them on time to make up with the daily routine of the farm so that it can be processed further and be ready for daily dispatch. After quite a research the best suited machine for milking which had to be energy efficient & Eco-friendly as well as least time consuming with easy maintence came to be Rotary Milking Machine. Rotary parlours are the most labour efficient milking parlours for dairies which has a high cow throughput per hour. The rotary parlour’s continuous cow flow makes it possible for the operator to work without any interruptions & provide very good working conditions for the operator. Rotary parlours offer quality milking and the efficiency of continuous motion.

Sizing the Rotary : As per the requirement there are 4000 cows to be milked which narrows down the calculation for two number of milking machines which has 80 number of throughput per rotation allowing milking rate at 500 cows per hour for each, that means 1000 cows per hour from both the machines. So overall milking routine takes about 4 hours morningevening.

Planning the Cow Traffic :

Return Alley

The Rotary Milking Parlour has two number of entry points from the spine, one from the lower level -"Entry-1" and another from the above level -"Entry-2" which travels down with assitance of a ramp. The Spine has two alleys for the Bovines to travel with a Herdsmen Controller’s Walkway in middle at both levels. The Bovines at the Spine as-well are drafted with the assistance of Drafting Gates to respective Holding Area of Milking Palour. Holding Area is about 1200 sqm. accomodating 1000 cows at a time. As the first batch of herd reaches their destination from the cow shed, then they are managed with the help of crowd gate similar to drafting gate but for large area which drafts them towards the rotary machine where individual cows are monitored with the help of In-Line Milk Sensors and Animal Sensors -Tags & Collar system.

These In-Line Milk Lab, Parlor Automation Solution & Herd Management system is a modular concept that allows to manage drafting, feeding, milking, lactation state & monitor health state as one integrated operation. This optimum herd management solution keeps track of each animal, monitors trends, predicts problems and evaluates options. This provides full access to the daily information which is essential for successfully running a modern dairy farm.

80 BAILS EXTERNAL PARALLEL ROTARY WITH FEEDING

If any problem gets noticed with any individual bovine, then they are automatically directed towards seperation alley where they are sorted at seperation pens as per the criteria of issue. The rest are allowed to step up the platform of rotary machine. The cups-on area is where the rotation of bails start and cups-off where one roation gets completed thereafter which these bovines travel through return alley where with the help of some traffic control gates they are either allowed to return back to shed (at evening shift) or they are directed towards the compound area (at morning shift) where they head towards the Green Zone i.e, Grazing paddocks & Forest area for daily exercise routine.

As per the daily time bandwidth when they had to return back to the shed from the compound, with the help of Sorting Gates they are sorted according to their shed number and its level as per the Herd Management system.

At Milking Parlour there are 4 numbers of Silos at Silo Pad where each Silo has a capacity of 20,000 litres out of which 2 Silos are at a constant C.I.P (clean in place) process. As the daily milking routine completes approximately 30,000 - 40,000 litres per day of milk collected are then pumped through Silos in function to the Dairy Plant for further processing and dispatch.

Sizing the Dairy Plant & Collection Systems : As per the setting of Shantidhara and its location it is aimed for a Private Rural based Medium size dairy for a head-start which will be primarily dealing in milk products and fluid milk with a plant handling capacity of 1.5 Lakhs litres per day keeping the scope for expansion. Country location means there will be little competition from other industries and land will be cheap. The plant will not create a noise problem and it is unlikely that atmospheric pollution will cause any difficulty. There will be no traffic congestion. Milk supply routes will be short. But it will be away from the city consumption area.

Here at the Dairy Plant the milk is procured mainly from three sources: 1.

From the In-house Grass Gate Setup we get about 40,000 litres of Milk

2.

From Local Farmers where approximately 50% of the local population with the radius of 100-250 kms are in argriculture sector. The Can-Collectors would be on the daily trip collecting about 50,000 litres two times a day. The figures may upshoot in future as the argriculture sector flourishes. This will not only create oppotunity for entrepreneurship but also will set its baby steps towards Second White Revolution in A2 milk industry.

3.

From Milk Co-operatives & Chilling Plant the remaining required amount of milk can be collected on daily basis and on prospects of expansion this option would be much more feasible. Milk collection will be done by special milk tankers which allow not to perish the milk and can be brought in even from distant sources.

Ramp Up

Storefront Glazing System

So a plant capacity of 1.5 Lakhs litres is receiving milk two times in a day approximately 82,000 litres in evening and 68,000 litres in the morning. Considering the processing capacity of the plant 20,000 lit /hr.

Planning & Processing : Early at morning the very first thing that happens is the sterilization of the plant where all the machinery and equipments are sterilized. Firstly, taking the daily regime of Milk Tankers which are coming from Milk Co-operatives, are first sampled at the Milk Sampling Dock and queue at the Tanker’s Bay and then turn-by-turn the milk is pumped inside the Silos at the Reception Deck or Tanker’s Deck whereas milk from the In-House setup gets directly pumped to one of these silos. Secondly, the milk that is brought in by Can-Collectors from the local farm delivering 1000 cannisters of 50 litres each. These Can-Collectors or Farmers themselves have to wait at Reception Lobby, and on their turn they are allowed to switch the lobby near distribution office where they take the cannisters at the level above at BMC Waiting Area with aid of Industrial Bed Lift. Here at Bulk Milk Chiller (BMC) these milk cannisters are kept on conveyors and proceeds for milk test where ultrasonic and lactoscan tests are performed. Then the milk is dumped in Dumper and then pumped at BMC tanks (60,000 litres horizontal silo + 60,000 litres at CIP + 40,000 litres for expansion). The milk from here is then deaerated, chilled & pumped to Main Silo at input silo deck.

32

Ground Floor Plan Production & Daily Dispatch :

Dairy Plant

shantidhara

So at input silo deck we have six silos and one space of silo is kept reserved for expansion, where out of 6 silos one is reserved for In-house facility, one for BMC, two for Chilling Plants & two for CIP. As when the daily collection completes or is in motion then the batch is transfered to processing room where they are pre-heated, filtered, clarified, standardized, pasteurized, homogenised, cooled, packaged and stored. The process layout varies & totally depends on variety of products produced. For flavouring the recipe is produced at recipe mixer which then transfered to output silo deck where via help of gravity transfered to production area. Once the production and packaging is completed it is then transfered to the cold store or deep freeze and is then ready for daily dispatch. So, as the milk processing is done the plant proceeds for other daily functions done morning-evening 2-3 times in intervals which are CIP (clean-in-place), hot water rinsing, Lye-circulation & Acid circulation to keep the plant and machinery clean and sanitized.

Talking about production for 80,000 litres of milk processing at one time, the plant produces- 30,000 litres of raw milk; 5,000 litres of flavoured milk; 800-1,200 kg of Mewa/Peda/Sweets from 6,000 milk; 1.5 kg of Paneer from 7,000 litres of milk; Icecreame & Chocolates from 5,000 litres of milk; 1 tonne Ghee from 20,000 litres of milk; 7,000 kg of Curd from 7,000 litres milk; 14,000 litres of Buttermilk from 14,000 Gheeleftover; 2,000-3,000 kg Shrikhand & 5,000-10,0000 litres of Lassi from 2,000-4,000 litres of Curd each.

Service or Utility Block : Service sections providing auxiliary services such as steam, refrigeration and electricity to the dairy plant. For the scope of expansion and easy maintenance the service utility building is kept seperately. The arrangement of rooms where secondary equipment such as boiler, compressor, evaporators, condensers and workshop equipment are installed such, allowing easy supervision. Equipment, such as brine pumps, chilled water pumps, hot water circulating units and control are located in a separate or beneath the floor away from processing section.

The pupose of the bulding is to cater small marginal MSME products made from the by-products of the cow, i.e; cow dung, urine & milk. The built structure is made with an intention of flexibility of usage of space which can be oriented as per the demand of products depending upon season, occasion & cultural factors. This is a proposal which aims to cater daily wage labourers and with an intention of poverty upliftment. The built structure is planned in such a way that the below section is designed to have more shade and resist heat at same time. Whereas above level act as a drying space where the products that needs sun baking is allowed to rest and store later on. To protect from weathering and rainfall transperant polycarbonate sheet is installed as a cover which will allow light and heat at the same time. This light is allowed to passthrough below level with the help of light well that diffuses the space with ample amount of light for working conditions. Jali is kept as an installation for envelope of the building that allows constant ventillation with cool breeze and at same time resist heat & glare. The built structure has assistance of ramps that allows easy vehicle movement in the workshop and also that connects the level above allowing easy loading and unloady for handcarts and even vehicles travel up and load for batch dispatch.

Flexible Space Planning :

Workshop

shantidhara

Design Strategy :

The flexibility of space can allow spaces for Tractor Parking, Cow-dung Unloading & collection area, Raw Material Storage, Production Areas, In-Line sorting, Trolley holding space, Toilets below the ramp & bhatti( furnance). The layout of production and storage with aid of In-line sorting can be more of flexible in nature in terms of what sort manufacturing takes place. Products such as Cow-Dung Cakes can have a lot of demand while in holi and as per context the demand remains more or less constant all year round, similarly in Diwali the demand or organic and low cost diyas will surge up, Fertilizers / Manure is a year round demand for farmers and horticulture business. Other sustainable materials such as bricks,cardboards, paper & stationary can be obtained from cow-dung which will be good of environment and boost the green economy. Soaps & other FMCG or bio-medicals products will also be sharing the roof as per demand and profitability.

Agarbatti & Dhups are such a common items that is very close to indian traditional values. It also can have wide production on constructution materials such as sun-dried bricks from compressed cow-dung and no VOC emitting cement, plaster and coloured dye all from ashes of cow-dung. This building can have varriety of use depending upon market statistics and profitability.

Dairy Plant Office : Layout of offices for general manager, managers, supervisors and technical officers are planned in a such a way, so that all the processing operations can be monitored from the glass window of the offices. Further the locations and layout of the process control room should be in the center of the processing sections, so that instructions can be given to the operator after visual monitoring of the activities. The location of the workshops for the repair and maintenance should be near to the major sections where it is required e.g. near boiler section, near refrigeration section etc. The layout of offices and workshops should permit easy operations and monitoring.

Administration Block

shantidhara

Admin Office : A dairy factory will not have only technical, dairy professionals, operators, skilled and unskilled workers, but will also have staff personnel not directly concerned with plant, but very much associated with dairy. This staff looks after all activities of dairy such as administration, milk procurement, processing, dispatch, distribution, sales and marketing of products, establishment, finance and accounts, H.R.D., security (watch and ward) and management in general. This staff requires office accommodation comprising number of rooms properly linked. For employee comforts and convenience, staff canteen, toilets, reception lounge & seminar hall have also to be provided.

Medium-sized dairy plant may have one General Manager, one Deputy General Manager, one Manager, three Deputy Managers, six Assistant Managers, twelve Sectional Heads with suitable designations and three Assistants or Clerks with two Peons or Attendants in each section.

Design Strategy : The design strategy behind the admin building is such that it not only will serve the administration but also cater towards visitors & special guests. The behind it was to deliver the first look of the entire site where the buiding could act as a watch tower to the public. So the best location was at the intersection of the views from dairy plant, Milking Corridor & Green Zone. Hence, at the middle of site where the road passes by in the middle of the building acting as a gateway that welcomes one to Shantidhara and the terrace above giving the exquisite views. The form of the building has been inspired from the poetic relationship of opaque & transperancy where the opaque structure is sandwiching the middle transperant screen that allows workers & staff to be in constant connect with nature, uplifting the mood and being healthy & efficient in work routine.

Healing Spaces - The Maternity Mother and Child Welfare Centre

Hospitals are the most essential & strict facility in any public space weather its urban or rural. It’s a vital reponsibility of an architect to deliver all the basic needs and design in such a way that in the time of emergency the building facilitates the users in the most convinent way possible. The hospital addressed here is a speciality hospital catering to Mother & Child with an Out Patient Department. The site is located in New Town ,West Bengal just behind Eco park a bit inside away from major Arterial Road making an site for silence & scenery.

Site Planning : The approach towards site planning was such that the building is sandwiched between the green space giving the overall experience more breathable. The nature of the site was such that the water logging happens quite easily so the levelling up of site was a solution. The drive-way has been designed to have no option of congestion, where one of its end from the main entry leading straight directly to Emergency Ward, where as another end branches out to main entry of the building and another to basement eentry for parking with aid of ramp where its exit opens straight up opposite to the drive-way that circumbulates the site for Fire & Service access. Services such as electricity, underground reservoir & Sewage Treatement Plant are seperately located away from the main building.

Main Building Design Strategy : The Building has been designed keeping the climatological factors, least ground coverage and keeping the minimum travel distance from one linked space to another.

Building has 3 entries : Main Entry for public & staff access, Emengcy Entry for easy Ambulatory Care & Sevice Entry for backdoor Service management. The building’s core has two Open Courts to allow daylight at all levels inclusive of Public elevator.

Their are two specific Bed-Lifts for Pantry, laundry & service items and another for Inpatient Wards & Hospital Staff, where right at opposite end their is another bed lift for Emergency Ward & I.C.U. The building surroungs with 4 staircase at 4 corners for emegency exits.
