HERITAGE IN NEIGHBOURHOOD Role of community, Hisory and Culture in shaping the Historic Urban Environment Research based Design Thesis, Semester 4, MLA, CEPT University
5
INTRODUCTION The thesis talks about this specific typology of monuments, which is often counted in the unexplored heritage of Delhi. The fragmented pieces of history in the close knit community around it. But unfortu nately it has become rather common to see their identity diminishing with time, (encroachment, vandalism ec.) and the new identity overshadowing the past. Considering this and the fact that heritage is important for a city, the thesis also focusses on making the setting stand out and reconnect it with its’ history and celebrate its culture.It challanges 100 m protected area policy, and puts forward a few new considerations for the policy makers to rethink the historic setting in a neighbourhood. Hence, a new methodology developed for the past and present to co-exist, where the dignity of the monument and the importance of the culture doesn’t overshadow the other, but rather complement it, celebrate it. 6

Masjid Moth Village
BRIEF HISTORY Moth ki Masjid, translating to “Lentil Mosque,” was built in 1500s by Miyan Bhoiya, a prime minister under Sultan Sikander Lodi (reg. 1489-1517). “It is said that the mosque was built from the proceeds of the plentiful harvests reaped from a single lentil that Sikander Lodi had found at the Friday mosque and presented to Miyan Bhoiya in jest.”(Aga Khan Trust for Culture, n.d.) Area - 1,600 sq.m., Area of Village - 72,000 sq.m.

CHARACTER The village has some typical components of an urban village which includes congregation at markers like temples, chaurahas and coutyards, informal usage of spaces and irregularwidths of the streets. It also shows the unplanned development, building heights and the intensity of encroachments.

CONDITIONS Moth ki Masjid although a worship place, the citadel like appearance gives a general air of solidity to the whole village. Encroachment on the southern and Eastern side shows the decaying nature of the site, could be called the footprint of contemporary times. The encroachment is also vertical, and the material used in a few buildings dissolve the effect of the monument.

THURSDAY MARKET (Weekly Bazaar)
“These markets represent a history, a tradition and a cultural continuity�(Sohail Hashmi, 2007)

Weekly bazaars are one of those lesser known trends which is not really an attraction for tourists but a basic necessity for people living near it. As per villagers of Masjid Moth, these bazaars got an official permission to set up their shops near urban villages in 1980s. These bazaars are easily overlooked within the fast pace urbanisation in Delhi, but for people it still remains a culture which they dont want to give up.

1930s Tobacco Farming around Moth ki Masjid. Sainis and Baniyas lived in the village with around 298 acres of Farmlands. The two monuments had a clear connection, probably that’s why the unknown structure is called gateway to Moth ki Masjid
Early 1940s The Sharmas, who came from Rajasthan, owned bulk of land in Masjid Moth. Many villagers leased land for cultivation from them and in return gave some amount of the yield to them. This areais calledPandit ka Mohalla today. Harijans started residing around monument in kachcha houses.
Late 1940s After the Partition, a chunk of land was given to Punjabis from Pakistan as a refuge. Today it is knowwn as Bholi Nagar or Punjabi colony. A new town much organised established called Gautam Nagar and Hardev. This town Encroached the unknown Structure today. DLF acquired land in Masjid Moth in 1962 in order to develop residential quarters for government servants.
1970s By this time mostly all the farmland got acquired by DDA. Famous Pt. Leela Ram Market got urbanised and huge complex of market startedemerging. The government school was established for children of the village.

Banyan Tree Court
The banyan tree has its cultural connection with the temple, but infront of the mosque it provides a court to celebrate the co-existence of two religious markers.
The cultural and heritage corridor reflects the unique character of the village. The aspirational 10m clearing gives a sense of continuity to the mosque, and one can realise the scale of it while walking through its perimeter The connection of school, Maidan and Masjid ought to be seamless. They must act like one

STREET SIDE RELIGION Semester 2, MLA, CEPT University
INTRODUCTION LANDSCAPE URBANISM The exercise looks at the aspects of the city of Ahmedabad which is unique for the city. The aim is to concentrate on the unique phenomenon and explore the working of it within the city, thorough research about its existence and how it can enhance the overall relative system and experience of the city through landscapes. The chosen phenomenon is that of street side shrines that are commonly seen in the city which reflects the traditional practices, that have taken a tangible form. It can also be viewed as a reflection of the emerging revitalisation of traditions and cultural heritage. 38
STREET SIDE SHRINES Kind of shrines spotted
Walking on the road of Ahmedabad, it is not possible to cross it without an encounter with a little temple adjacent to a building or under a tree or on the footpath or right between the median. We can see them after every hundred if not fifty meters apart. This could be looked upon as two facets of this city – one deals with the sacrality produced at the boundary of the ideological social spaces in the form of these shrines, making it an interactive space and hence culturally important. One could actually see people congregating and responding to recently sprouted mandir on the median changing the course of traffic, showing the orthodox nature of the city. CATEGORISATION / EVOLUTION
Emergence of shrine near a holy marker mostly in form of a culturally significant trees like Banyan, Neem or Peepal. Redefining the existence of a tree.
Development of shrine this stage comes when enough attention is gained by the emerged shrine. This depends upon the cultural relevance and position of the tree within city.
Icons of shrine After the development of shrine, few years and stories later it starts taking form of a temple with various icons that represent the presence of a temple.
Temple in Public Realm. The temple becomes recognised and part of public realm. Various street furniture become part of it, and it may act as a public space.

INTRODUCTION Landscape design is as much a construct of imagination as response to site and context. Imagination however, is informed by observation, experience and knowledge of processes. A constructive imagination involves being able to distill all of these for a specific site and being able to create something ‘anew’. The studio attempts to undertake this process for an eight acre site in Ahmedabad using existing typologies of landscape as a measure of the possibilities of the constructed landscape. 46
THE TYPOLOGY The Chosen typology was a vernal pool which by its nature is sorrounded by a riparian buffer which helps in collecting an protecting the water and act as a source of habitat. The water collected is used by the adjoining cultivated land by the means of canal.

INTRODUCTION Historic city centers in India are dynamic and vibrant environments of cultural heritage that go beyond the built form. Satyanarayan Mandir was one of the interesting cases of adaptive reuse of an old haveli to a temple complex where a family of pandits have been living. The haveli has not only been “modernised� bu also been tampered in terms of stories. The aim of the exercise was tot investigate the old structure and figure the changes in order to document the difference between old and new and how one could justify the conservation scheme. 56
LOCATION The site for study is a temple in Jodhpur, India called Satyanarayan Mandir. It is located in Juni Mandi, which could be seen as a place to gather, shop and have a cup of tea amidst many mandirs of religious importance. Satyanarayan Mandir is one such mandir, made in a small 17 meter by 10 meter haveli. It is currently also used as a clinic and a historic well to fetch water which is used in the nearby Ghnshyam ji Mandir. Police Chowki

There is an open public urinal in the square due to which women feel uncomfortable in approaching this corner of the square. There is also an issue of hygiene and bad smell caused by this urinal but the presense of a public urinal in this square is a good thing as the square is populated and is use by people throughout the day.

The overall facade of the Haveli shows no similarity between its elements and hence replaceing the basic features like windows that are similar to the lower floor instead steel frame windows which are presently there and usage of same colour and materials which were used for the lower floor. The traditional jharokha shouldnt be encroached by closing it to create space for storage or adding above an additional block.
