MIXED HOUSING DEVELOPMENT Academic | Chennai, India

The call for new urbanism had led to the formation of smarter towns, yet not decongesting the cities. At present, the scenario is too intimidating on one side with a huge housing shortage and on the other side lack of proper utilization of resources. Research had proven this demand could be tackled by efficient use of resources (land) with necessary transport infrastructure and by providing a good mix of housing. Over the years housing solutions in developing nations have had several issues. Monotonous high rises creating an awful pattern of repetitive, boring urban expansion. Targeting a single group of sector, thus not creating a good social mix. Lacking proper understanding of user needs and demands. Non-responsive to the context and surrounding landscapes. Lacking sufficient self-sustaining amenities and facilities that foster economic activities. Inefficient in energy management. The agenda of this housing studio would aim at creating a brewed design that focuses mainly on modules at an intimate scale, blocks at an architectural scale and planning at an urban scale.

The following aspects were considered during the design. • Design of module. • Thorough study of development control rules and understanding of site considerations, set backs, parking, heights, floor area ratio etc. • Master planning of the site – including housing blocks, amenities, road layouts, parking layouts, entry, circulation and landscapes. • Service cores with normal and fire lifts, staircase and headroom (designed according to NBC). • Fire safety layout to be prepared with positioning of sprinklers, extinguishers, fire escapes and fire doors. • Electrical drawings, plumbing drawings and centerline drawing. • Landscape design – Properly designed clubhouses and amenities, parks, playgrounds and landscape zones integrated with the housing complex. • Finally, environmental friendly design – focus on green building techniques (passive energy design), use of energy efficient materials.

REJUVENATION OF SHENOY NAGAR Academic | Chennai, India

Urbanization in our cities has been a combination of planned & chaotic develop ment due to the out flux of people from smaller towns or villages. Due to the rapid migration the urban center is under pressure to accommodate, circulate and provide all facilities within a short span of time which leads to the increase in population density of the particular region. The most common problems due to in crease in population density is related to movement/ circulation. Primary circula tion which is one of the most important aspects of an urban center connects users to the various elements in an urban set ting. Overcrowding disrupts primary circulation which affects the holistic growth of the locality. Multilevel vehicular circulation through flyovers is seen as one of the common solution to faster movement within the ting elements. A good urban design sensitively addresses every single existing component of a local ity including its natural environment and constantly motivates its users to cherish, maintain and develop their surroundings in a sustainable and economically effective manner. To explore the continuity and dynamics of urban form including but not limited to flyovers, MRTS with a thrust on the interrelationships between the disciplines of architecture, urban design, landscape and town planning.

The following were the agenda of this urban design project. • To understand the various components and aspects of the urban environment as well as their interrelationships. • To understand in specific components/ issues such as public spaces, physical ipfrastructure,socio-cultural aspects- heritage, gender, class, dynamics of urban growth. • To understand people as users of the urban environment in various scales. • To explore techniques of mapping and diagramming to understand the dynamic urban environment. • To take design decisions in a comprehensive manner understanding their implications in the larger context.

A great idea of regeneration in cities take place in an understated unglamorous way, with people quietly moving into refurbished buildings This is the type of city regeneration for which a sport venue can act as a catalyst. This regeneration will occur increasingly, due to the emotional acceptance of an area when it is used for sport, people see the area in a different light. There is an atmosphere created around a sporting event and intense emotions, it is not just an event, there is an after blow and this illuminates the whole area.

Balanced proportion of sport usage and other usages must be achieved. The long-term utilization of a sports infrastructure correlates with the level of urban integration, urban context, building type and usage mix. Sports stadiums utilized by more than one home team and integration of other usages (e.g. retail, commercial, recreation, etc.) achieve a significantly higher level of utilization.

ART NOUVEAU Academic

“The world is changed. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost. For none now live who remember it.” It all began when a man’s greed went beyond his level of content livelihood. When it was concluded and assumed necessary to go from hand production methods to machines. New innovations flooded in, unique chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, increased efficiency of water power, the increasing use of steam power, and the development of machine tools. This, like a blessing for the architecture, brought in modern construction materials and new techniques. Little did the people understand that this would be the turn of the decade and ruler of centuries to occur. They framed the steel with rows of glasses like it was a sudden alien invasion to the instinctive iron inhabitants. With an unusual show of dominance over the native supplies, the steel and concrete were overruling the then outmoded charcoal pig iron. It sure was a funny name. New construction techniques shaping things around me, Arches and vaults were no longer seen. But bizarre, yet rigid posts and beams were taking over the buildings. About me, I’m called Art Nouveau or Glasgow style by how the British called me or Jugendstil by the Germans. I existed for very few years, for little did I noticed if I made a difference in the community. And, for you to establish if I am remarkable, as everybody says. It is in your hands to choose if you would continue to learn the best of things from me. Before my time, the time when individuals were just evolving into what I would call as thinkers sought for a fresh style of art. It was a quest for authentic and meaningful art styles for the present century. With the rise in the soulless machine-made production aided by the Industrial Revolution, this search was vital. People trusted in the equality of all the arts and the importance & gratification of work. The society needed good workmanship, raising the quality of craft & produce a genuine modern form. I realized that it was my burden to carry, to alter the course of art in times to come. Just like how every hero is certain to have a villain, I had mine; the machines. The root cause of all repetitive and mundane evils, to control all others, his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life. Some of them turned towards handcraft, which made their products expensive and affordable only by the rich. One by one, the free will of men fell to the power of the machine. It taints the hearts of men. What everyone wanted was a change, a way to ease their way of living. And the machine had a will of its own, for it continued for many years. During then, the growth of industry had destroyed traditional skills and removed the pride that a craftsman could find in his work. Essentially, the status of design in art and education was improved and established. It was an essential element in the manufacturing process.

The principle was to expose the natural qualities of the materials used and the construction of the object. I had an opposition to the previous Victorian style which was too ornate and artificial. For I was the driving force and my legacy was carried over by the later movements such as Modernism and the Bauhaus. So much pride I had possessed, being all natural and excessively ornamented. Nature was a perfect example of God’s design. The design should be based on nature, spiritual remedy to the inferior standards of art and design. I have always had a fascination for the medieval art where artists and craftsmen worked together with equal status. I was the predecessor of modernism and my works, those were inspired by both organic and geometric forms evolving elegant designs that united flowing natural forms with more angular contours. I was brought from the roots and contemporary revivals of the Gothic style. I needed a reformation. To get people away from the belief that painting and sculpture were superior to crafts such as furniture design. Also, it is crucial for one to understand the consequence of this – neglect of good craftsmanship. One could not have asked for a better choice for I was the most flexible ethos then. Rows of fluid spaces, rhythmic and concave curved facades were few of the influences that I had on the architecture then. Buildings during my time were of exposed iron and large, irregular shaped pieces of glass. The lines that I owned were much graceful, sinuous and rarely angular; heavily criticised for having violent curves which were more like whiplash curves. Rhythmic patterns of curvy line connect the images in the art and can even be found in beautified plain items such as dishes, utensils, hardware and furniture. And great use of organic subject matter - flowers, leaves, vines, grass, seaweed, insects and others. Usually, doorknocker was moulded to look like a dragonfly and entrance way, graced by vine-like lines in the moulding. Though I was influencing and held a dictating power of art from 1890, I had to give way for the young, promising styles of art which were fighting to show its supremacy. Around 1910, I knew that I had to make a move. Modernism was just doing well. More streamlined, cheaper and talented. For only time can tell for what it can do to society. “Lithographic detail, alluring beauty enwrapped in mystique, sends whispers of desire upon the skin of your lover; blossom-pink pastels kiss your lips, stains the pages upon your lap where love wants to nestle like newborn lambs; mortal woman envy your art nouveau grace, though discarded, never forgotten, you wait patiently for fashion’s fickle heart to return.”
