REVITALIZATION OF WATER BODY IN A COMMUNITY:

towards a water-sensitive design

PROJECT BACKGROUND: Dhaka was once crisscrossed by numerous canals which were used for transport, commerce, drainage and recreation.

But indiscriminate human settlements have slowly encroached most of the water bodies in Dhaka. This project was conceived to take a journey to past and an attempt to revive it by urban design.

Water Sensitive Design Considerations shallow sided retention basin integrated with public open space

an integrated approach to stormwater management was taken maintaining the major flow path of the stormwater. We also tried to create an urban breathing space by reviving the existing water body, designing social spaces like amphitheater, play grounds & open markets. By creating community nodes at different points, the designed space also served as a platform for mutual interaction of the community,

ventilation & create an inner courtyard

PROJECT BACKGROUND: Bangladesh has seen a remarkable rise in the RMG sector lately and although little disorderly at first, both public and private institutes have taken up numerous researches to ensure safe work condition in industrial sector. Given the present situation in Bangladesh, being the second largest country in the world to export ready-made clothes; it is high time we architects redesigned the way we perceived factory.

PROJECT STATEMENT: The recent industrial design solutions reflect a conscious approach to provide minimum space requirements, fire safety, thermal comfort, daylight, ventilation and safe work condition in RMG. In this design, apart from meeting the functional requirements, the main emphasis was given on designing a safe factory equipped with necessary firefighting & also on ensuring a bright & well ventilated space for the workers. In order to achieve the level of satisfactory & productive working condition, different studies were made first with the help of the simulation tool Ecotect. Other sustainable issues like Rain Water Harvesting system was kept in mind while designing the roof. I also tried to design passive cooling system to ensure nature ventilation. Working on this project propelled me to reflect on the role of an architect for the betterment of industrial workers and how to merge energy-efficient guidelines in the design.

SPORTS COMPLEX FOR ADAPTED

Although unknown to most people, Bangladesh has had remarkable success in para-olympics for almost a decade now. With a view to acknowledging & celebrating the endeavor of disabled people in our society, I selected this project as my final graduation project.

PROJECT STATEMENT: The first step was to recognize the different user group and the design elements and considerations were chosen on the basis of differently able people and their needs. The study of sports complex with its program & function was carried out simultaneously. After the preliminary form selection, functions were detailed out in order to make it a universally accessible sports complex. Besides, I considered the site as a public space that could generate urban interaction & social inclusion of the differently able people. As the site offered a surrounding waterfront, open plazas giving views towards the water body were designed. This project was particularly challenging because of its nature, scale & time restraint. I had gone through an extensive literature study as well as details for accessible design during this project that enriched my perception for both differently able people and our attitude towards them.

PROJECT BACKGROUND: Disabled sports also adaptive sports or parasports, are sports played by persons with a disability, including physical and intellectual disabilities. As many of these based on existing sports modified to meet the needs of persons with a disability, they are sometimes referred to as adapted sports. However, not all disabled sports are adapted; several sports that have been specifically created for persons with a disability have no equivalent in able-bodied sports.

Disability exists in four categories: physical, mental, permanent and temporary.

Nisha’s Play School , GOA

A Dollhouse- ( except in the case of toddlers) is a separate space where children play with each other without supervision. Each classroom corresponds in scale to the particular user’s age group and is different from the other. Elements of the building have been used as teaching aids to communicate ideas of form, shape, color and space perception.

The open-to-sky learning area of the toddler ’s classroom lies at the entrance to the school. A window on roof lets fresh air and light into the classroom.

Area of the project: 800 sq m (school building: 480 sq m; open spaces: 320 sq m) Location: Salvador do Mundo, Goa, India Principal architects: Architecture Autonomous

Superstructure: Exposed 9” brick wall Roofing and intermediate floors: R.C.C with various fillers - bottles, thermocole packaging Flooring: Red oxide with inlay in black (for classrooms and circulation spaces) and china mosaic (for ‘doll-houses’ and open areas) Flooring for toilets: China mosaic waste with inlay of waste mirrors Shelving: Polished cuddapah embedded in brick walls Doors and windows: Recycled old doors and windows with steel grills and brick jaalis

Different recycled materials are used as building or decorating material, for example mosaic, window grill, used bottles.

The pre-school is an off-shoot of the play way method of education. Built on an 800 square meter plot, the flat area was retained as a playground while the main building was built on the slope, balancing cut and fill. Concerns of bringing natural light, westerly breeze and maximizing the use of space were instrumental in determining the eventual form. It is within this form that layers of spatial experience were added by the insertion a circular core with a chute.

Each classroom has a space for teaching in front a blackboard and an informal work area at tables or on the floor.

Shiksha Niketan is a creative space to expand the imagination of children. It is a large building and to minimize its impact on landscape, most of the building is hidden.

From the road, one walks onto a plaza which houses an Outdoor Amphitheatre. On will descend the steps and enter into level 3 waiting zone which houses the administration and Extra Curricular Facilities. These include Music/Dance hall, Project/Art room, Library, Computer Lab and a Fantasy Home away from home.

Auroville, CHENNAI Auroville is a universal township in the making for a population of up to 50,000 people from around the world. Located in south India, in the State of Tamil Nadu , this city is marked for its extraordinary attitude towards energy-efficient designs.

TOWARDS AN APPROPRIATE ARCHITECTURE: The term 'appropriate building technology', coined by the visionary architects, refers to building processes and tools that are appropriate to the climate, socio-economic conditions and natural resources of an area, and which contribute to sustainable development. Different innovations are encouraged to accentuate this energy efficient attitude:

Solar Energy

Ferro-cement technologies ongoing construction of FERRO-CEMENT arch

These photovoltaic array cells are used for pumping the wastewater from the Reed bed waste water cleansing system. The surplus water is pumped out to water trees in the immediate areas.

Photovoltaic cells use silicon cells which have the capacity to transform radiation directly into electric energy. This energy is either used simultaneously (for example, to pump water) or stored in batteries t o p r o v i d e e l e c t r i c i t y.

anoerobic filter

>> The input of soil stabilization has made it possible to build higher with thinner walls, which have a much better compressive strength and water resistance. The average stabilizer proportion is rather low. These low percentages are part of the cost effectiveness of CSEB:

Wind as an energy source:

Av55 windmills are manufactured in Auriville by AUREKA as the most costeffective wind pump in India. Cheaper than solar pumps or even diesel, its strength and reliability are outstanding.

second treatment pollution reduction 90%

first treatment pollution reduction 80%

pre treatment pollution reduction 30%

Waste Water Management: Decentralized waste water system (Dewats) Natural treatment of waste water occurs by channeling the effluent through several devices:

baffled tank

>> The soil, raw or stabilized, is slightly moistened, poured into a steel press(with or without stabilizer) and then compressed either with a manual or motorized press.
