“How can citizens participate in the design process?“

1. Allowing Uncertainty A Manifesto for Citizen Participation

Site Images Open spaces are used as storage and gathering points. Created as pockets in between the houses

The houses are separated by material and colour. Not by different walls

The lanes are used to store water buckets and other goods. During evening time its used as gathering point.

This thesis looks at different practices involved with participatory designing, analyses the advantages, difficulties and practical implications of taking the user as a partner in the design process and tries to re-imagine the system of community participation in design. The thesis is based in Daarukhana, a group of three wharfs in the Eastern Waterfront of Mumbai. That area constitutes of numerous ship breaking yards and metal processing enterprises. The area deals with other materials like: wood, bamboo, terracotta tiles, gun powder etc. The group of people staying in Daarukhana are migrants from different states of India, who came here to work at the ship breaking yards. Based on the site study and the case studies a new method is developed for citizen participation and is applied on site to get a response from them. The thesis focuses on developing a method that gives a very site specific outcome. This project “The Factory” demonstrates how different user groups can come together as partners to re-imagine the system of community participation and construction by building a structure that builds itself over time. The architect being one of the active participant, designs the primary structure, circulation and services for the project. A factory (group of workshops) is added to the structure where people can produce their own flooring system, wall panels, fenestrations and roofing systems designed by the architect with the participation of people from the community. The project takes the user group as its context and will build itself based on their needs and requirements. When redevelopment happens in future and the context changes, the surrounding area can be designed responding to this structure. Hence the redeveloped area can anchor itself to the site. The project states how engineering is an integrated part of architecture and how infrastructure can be designed . The architecture of the project allows the flexibility to the user to create, remove or change spaces inside the larger framework. Even if the user group changes over time, the architecture can remain and adapt to the needs of the context.

A 6m wide ramp from each side of the factory goes down to the loading/ unloading area. On one side of the factory we have the driver’s parking which opens up to a large ground

The rear half of the structure has a huge factory that helps the people to produce the other half of the building. The factory is sunk into the ground. The sunk part holds the loading/unloading and the storage areas. A huge light and ventilation shaft acts as the buffer between the factory and other public functions.

Axonometric View of The Proposed Building

The factory has a gantry crane in the center that helps in the loading unloading process. The factory doesn’t follow a linear pattern.

There are ramps on the ground floor that take you inside the building through a market street (as seen in Section AA’). The bottom part of the building is made using concrete, a material good in compression and easy to cast on site. Moreover the material gives a heavy mass at the base whereas the steel above makes look floating.

The whole structure is suspended from the primary truss. Why do we use steel in compression during construction. Steel is good in tension, hence it gives thinner cross sections. It also saves a lot of material. There are primary I Sections establishing the grid which are suspended from the top using four cables acting as one column.

Meghalaya Legislative Assembly Complex The Meghalaya Legislative Assembly Complex was an attempt to make capital complexes more welcoming and accepting by using natural elements as part of the design. The approach to the capital complex usually focuses on the main assembly building, but in this case the focus goes on the scenic beauty around the complex. The entire complex very proudly sits on top of the ridge though not showing any authority over its surrounding. The intervention of green spaces inside the complex has led to creating public spaces inside the complex for people to come and visit. The office buildings are of a scale which is not at all over powering. My role as an architect was to challenge the usual scales of capital complex and come up with a new strategy for the entire masterplan. Developing the design and resolving it alongwith services was a critical part of my duty.

Rann of Kutchh, long stretches of sand and land without trees. No place to take cover and protect yourself from the scorching heat of the sun. There are organisms who still survive in such harsh climate. Mostly they live under ground and have the capability to retain water in their body. What do you do in a place like Rann of Kutch, where there is no man made construction, no artificial context and scorching sun over your head. Any organism will try to dig into the earth and hide itself from the heat. The building attempts to do something similar. It looks like an organism trying to dig into the soil to save itself with few of its body parts sticking out of the ground. The intervention merges the landscape elements with functions like naked eye optical observatory. There are no set of rules or parameters to construct a structure in a desert, other than climate. So using all the possible clues on site along with few set of rules the building aligns itself to the functions. The building creates its own order using the grid, which is imagined as a grid that was always present under the layers of soil.

When you only have the sky and land to respond to and no human conditions, one has to take hints from the nature. How do animals in dessert survive the harsh weather? By staying under the soil during the day and it helps them to create a micro climate inside so as to survive. Similarly, the concept is to dig the ground and take that soil to create

a bait around the structure so as to protect it from the harsh climate. A grid has to be used in this never ending landscape to get some order and scale to the structure. The spaces are designed as instruments to observe the night sky. Hence those objects / instruments are inserted into the grid to break the monotony and create public spaces inside the structure.

A student’s amenity center The site has a rich spread of nature and wildlife. It builds an ecosystem to house the wide variety of birds that migrate to this site. The large spread of trees and water body divide the student’s housing and the institutions in the campus. The typology study explains the existing building on site and how they for informal niches inside the campus. In response to the existing site condition situated between the student’s housing and institution building, the intervention shouldn’t show its presence above the ground so that it doesn’t block the visual connectivity for the students. The “Non-Building” doesn’t disturb the existing ecosystem, rather it integrate all the different elements of the campus and anchors them on site. The structure serves as a student’s amenity center providing a community gathering space in it with all the programs converging to the open courtyards below the ground level.

The design develops like a crack on the ground between residential and institutional block. The non-buiding interacts to its edges and programs.

The ground plain moves either moves down to take you down to the building or folds up to form the roof giving a hint of the building.

3. Study model - Light and Shadow

Taking inspiration from the surrounding building typologies, the building uses the courtyard as the central focus of the design.

Model to explore the tessellation of the roof and to create spaces underneath and around them. The courtyards form the gathering spaces.

The form emerges out of the concept and the programs are designed to fit into the form and context. Study of transition spaces.

Trees and Restricted Green Spaces

Built Environment

• There is a lot of green cover and open green gardens in the vicinity. • But most of the green spaces in the area are restricted green open spaces, where general public is not allowed to enter. • These spaces are usually enclosed in Museum or Instituition campuses.

Institutions

Open Paved Area

• The built environment includes The Watson’s hotel and the art district • The area has few museums and galleries like Prince of Wales Museum, NGMA and Jahangir Art Gallery • This Locality has few educational institutions like the Elphinston College and the Mumbai University, whch has the Rajabai Tower sitting elegantly inside the campus. • The highcourt sits on the other edge facing the Oval Maidan. • There’s a mixed use (commercial + residential) locality on south of Watson’s Hotel that holds many restaurants, bars and other commercial functions in it.

“How can we Re-cycle and Re-use architecture?“

• The vicinity has a lot of paved sidewalks that become a good platform for vendors and hawkers to setup their shops. • The wide sidewalks are covered with colonnade and trees to protect the pedestrian from the harsh climate..

Built Environment

Open Paved Area

The settlement on the North East end of Watson’s Hotel is a mixed use area. It has hybrid functions like: Artist’s Studio and offices, Restaurants, Bars, Residential blocks and other commercial stores. e.g. Chumbak. The Army Navy Building beside Watson’s has been converted to Westside mall in the ground and the first floor. Above that there are offices of TATA in that building. Army Navy also houses an art gallery on the ground floor.

This area has two very significant structures of the city i.e. The Prince of Wales Museum and National Gallery of Modern Art. At one end of the museum we can see Jahangir Art Gallery. NGMA also acts as an incubation center, giving artists and professionals to display their work so that people in the city can see it. Prince of Wales apart from being a museum, It also houses extra activities and events..

City Civil and Sessions Court sits next to Watson’s Hotel. A very tight security space which is almost impermiable. The roads around the court are 24 x 7 guarded by police and army jawans.

Trees and Restricted Green Spaces

Green Cover

Built Environment

Built Mass The art district is filled with open to sky spaces. But the sad part is, all these spaces are restricted gardens and lawns. Only Mumbai Unoversity and David Sassoon Library allows people to access their garden and parks. People in David Sassoon library take books and sit in the garden to read, which is a very quite and peaceful place because of the court

The art district alongwith green open spaces has a lot of trees in that area. Because the buildings are heritage buildings and are load bearing and colonial, they have large courtyards and gardens in them which allows for a nice interaction between the natural and the built environment.

The paved area in that area are very important because they play a very important role in the art district. The paved sidewalks are used to exhibit work during exhibitions. A lot of local artists sit on these pavements and sell their work. The sidewalks in some part are covered with colonnade hence giving a proper setup for pedestrian walkway.

The project was named ‘Lost and Found’. The idea of the studio was to study the existing Watson’s building and it’s precinct and make master plan inferences. The building on site was then studied to create an inventory of parts of the building that can be re-used in the new structure. Watson’s Hotel is the first cast iron building in Mumbai and was built as a lavish hotel for the rich Indians in the city. As years passed by the building kept on adapting to new programs to survive till the 21st Century. But now we have reached a point in time where we don’t know for how long can that historic structure be protected. If that building has to undergo redevelopment, then what are the possible ways of designing the new structure, what are the programs that can be introduced to the new building to revive the importance of the building. The existing Watson’s Hotel holds a special place in the memory of the people of Mumbai. How much of that memory can we retain after we design something new on site. The project looks at different formal approach using wax models. As wax is a very flexible material to work with, all the master plan models are made using wax. After the initial site study, the programs were developed from the inferences. A program list and area statement was generated for the project. The next step was to come up with a form just based on the master plan inferences and see how the new building responds to site. Numerous iterations were made before reaching a final form. Then the programs were inserted into the building, designing each space internally and challenging the current idea of spaces for those programs. This process ensured that we don’t designing using the norms of ‘Form follows Function’. The major programs for the building was an Art Gallery, Court Rooms and Advocates Offices, a Law Institute. The challenge was to see how can these three programs co-exist in such a tight site. The orientation of the building introduced new public and semi public spaces on site.

This plan shows the figure ground of that entire area. The red patch is the plot of intervention i.e. Watson’s Hotel. On one side we can see how the footprint is so loose and open because of the type of heritage structures that are there. Whereas the other side has a very closely knit fabric which holds hybrid functions.

Creating a harmonious home where familial ties are the focus. Various courtyards are carved out of a monolith form to harmoniously connect and frame the outdoors. The double height spaces on either side of the central courtyard ensures a visual connection between the family members. The central courtyard frames the sky whilst providing natural ventilation and light through the year. Rustic natural materials along with green interventions are seamlessly continued through the interior spaces connecting to the architectural language of the home. The project had many structural challenges which were resolved using advanced slabs and structure. As the project is deeply rooted to the context and the family, it also responds to the changing climate. The house enhances the experience of each season, due to its simple yet innovative facade. During monsoon the courtyard gives you a tremendous experience of the weather. While in the summer season the vertical fins filter the light and create a meandering shadow across the house.

The house is completely transparent yet it is private at places where it needs to be. It is open and welcoming to guests as well as the nature around it. It is a concrete shell that has its own identity yet it blends with its surroundings.

In this scheme each of the rooms were attached to an outside green zone to experience the nature.

In this scheme the dining was the center of the house and private and public areas were divided by outdoor spaces.

The layout focuses on the idea of 3 pockets for cross ventilation and natural ventilation for 9 months of the year.

Little variation from Layout Option 03, this layout option allows the north east winds to enter the house.

This layout focuses on keeping the public open space towards the river and away from the road.

The house is a pure blend of design, concept and technology. The house is naturally ventilated throughout the year for atleast 9 months and can function without any air conditioning system. In monsoon the house uses its facade to enhance the experience of the weather. Solar panels have been installed on the terrace of the house and it can take care of the

entire functioning of the house. All the spaces are naturally lit during the day. The entire load calculation suggests that the structure is net positive in terms of energy and can also contribute to the grid. None of the trees around the site were cut or harmed in any manner. Rather new trees were planted resulted in foliage increase of 20%.

The aim of this project was to show the citizens how traffic junctions can be redesigned with safety measures so as to make them user friendly. e.g. reducing the turning radius of the road can reduce the speed of the cars, introducing more traffic islands can help citizens cross the road safely. The exercise took mithchowky as an example and demonstrated the possibilities for a safe traffic junction. The activity focused on traffic engineering techniques and using simple artwork creating new traffic islands juxtaposed on the existing junction.

“How act of mapping helps a building to be recognised as a Heritage Structure?“

8. Archiving Allahabad Documentation of Indian Heritage Documentations of buildings and settlements play a seminal role in architecture education. Not only does it teach the student the physiology of the building, but it also prompts them to ask critical questions on the contemporary nature of architecture and the built environment. Buildings and spaces of Allahabad are ornate. Not merely with decorations and embellishments but also with their expressions of materials and history. They are a repository of architectural history spanning centuries.

Unfolded Axonometric View

The Tilohi Kothi is a single storey symmetrical structure situated in Daraganj, Allahabad having two courtyards and one verandah. It has many small rooms which are given on rent to the students of Allahabad University. There is a school on the ground floor of the kothi where children from the vicinity come to study. It is a load-bearing structure with the main material used in its construction being brick.

As a Chief Architect of the project it was extremely important to carry the concept till the end of execution of the project and not deviate from the same. This project invents new details such as flushed tracks with sliding magnetic discussion boards, collapsible partition walls, Concentrating pantry and the related services to one wall.

“How can we construct a space using words and images?“

10. KRVIA @ 25 The Narratives of Learning In Between the Cubes 03

World . City . House . Body. Mapping the shifts in educational paradigm in thelast 25 years

The cubes are put at different heights so that the viewer can read the and enjoy the content at different levels without touching the hanging cubes. The cubes also direct the viewers to a certain semi controlled circulation.

The exhibition tried to show the 25 years of Kamla Raheja’s student work and inturn showing the paradigm shift in the curriculum of the college. The experiments done over years and the execution pf projects in different subjects and field were displayed for the viewer to understand the exhibition chronologically. The exhibition space was created by hanging cubes giving certain amount of freedom to the viewer to move around the space at a certain motion and direction. Cube has 6 surfaces, which when hung at an angle, can be read from all the sides. Thus creating a semi physical barrier to control movement and giving the viewer to easily read and view the content of the exhibition. The lighting played a major role to make it look as if the cubes were levitating in mid air. Hence, creating a space with words and images.

Designing the face of a luxury home in the heart of the city was a mere play of materials and colours. The entrance foyer was the first thing that guests will see when they come to this house. Since the beginning of the project the whole concept revolved around projecting the characteristics and the personality of the family members. The project started with frequent conversations with each member of the client’s family. Understanding their behaviour and personality trait was a key study of the project. Getting to know their daily movements and their lifestyle was the first step to our design process. The materials used in this project show the warmth and simplicity of the family members. Along with the artificial there is an accent of natural elements that have been added to the project. Using simple techniques with modern materials and extremely subtle and soothing lighting are key features of --the project. Just like every other project, this project had few practical requirements in such a cramped up space. Hence innovative design solutions were given for the same, such as: the visitors shoe stand becoming a part of the planter stand etc. R1 I-AL2RA01 I-02 Rev No.

Easy to Shift and Maintain

â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can we juxtapose two mutually exclusive functions in design?â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Is it a Coffee Table?

12. The Cat Stand A Pet Friendly Furniture

It is a House, Table and a Stool.

In todays lifestyle efficiency of space usage is extremely important. Pets are now a part of every third family in a city. This furniture was an experiment of combining two exactly opposite functions. The challenge is to merge these two polar programs using design. This Nested Cat Stand is space efficient house for your cat. At the same time it acts as a nested coffee table and a multipurpose rotating platform. The furniture piece can house itself in any corner of the house. The materials used and the design is cat friendly, as it gives them different levels to jump on and a cotton basket to scratch.
