GODHRA MUSEUM-MEMORIAL COMPLEX Dialogic Space in a City of Conflict
Godhra 22.7788, 73.6143
February-June 2016 PROJECT:
Godhra Museum Memorial Complex
Project was carried out as part of an Undergraduate Thesis in SPA. The project is situated in Godhra, known for being the epicenter of the Gujarat Riot pogrom in 2002. Embracing the contemporary socio-political condition of rising hindu nationalism, globalization-liberalisation as the backdrop, the project adressed communal anxiety and negotiation of identity in the site of controversy. Presently Godhra holds immense economic potential as an ‘Investment Region’ because of its proximity to the proposed DMIC (Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor) belt. The history of violence and present day communal tension demonstrates the need for a dialogic space in Godhra. A museum-memorial is intended as a community-building cultural center in this rapidly urbanizing context. The museum as a reflection of reality, encapsulates the rich historical timeline of the town. A narration of traditions/roots, that anchors a sense of identity to the local and a broadened perspective towards Godhra to the visitor. The museum becomes the linear transitional journey leading up to the memorial. The Memorial is a reflection of the aspirations of the people; of peace and harmony. A utopian space that offers a meditative introspective environment. Space is political. The design is in pursuit of the in-between. Taking on Rowe and Koetter’s merits in engaging the dialectic of Tradition and Utopia, in combination. The balancing act, the overlap of the contrasts becomes the stage for change. The Orthogonal forms of the complex are not essentialist but bear qualities of Kipnis’ InFormation. A collage approach was explored in adressing the dialectic and disparate elements. With form and lines derived from site, the project is an assemblage of functions and events. A community hall, Museum, restaurant, retail store, memorial, library, offices for NGOs, workshops and vocational training centers; the complex employs diverse heterogeneuos spaces and empowers them. The Museum and Memorial produce such contrasting environments that they amplify each other, highlighting the issues at hand and the resultant in-between becomes the space for further dialogue and hence the way forward.

he site was explored and mapped geologically. Existing vegetation was kept into account and retained. Climatology and geomorphology led to design considerations and choice in vernacular construction material. Programming and Zoning followed preliminary exploration, where inferences from case studies were taken into account. Identified design determinants led to exploring possible arrangements in program assemblage on site, all the while exploring spatial experience across resolutions. A conceptually favorable yet sound variant became the chosen variant. The memorial became a point within a circle demarcated as memorial grounds, untouched, largely unbuilt. This point was located at the site edge that enabled public pedestrian access and visibility along with a connection to adjacent waterbody in hopes to revitalize it. The memorial grounds were designed as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;truly publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; space drawing inspiration from Maya Linâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similarly democratic Vietnam memorial. The museum program was split in three zones arranged in horizontally sliced belts on site with the major access route to site and the adjacent water body on either ends. A community hall was closest to the main road due to bylaw restrictions and ease of managing peak footfall. A secondary block of porous public retail functions on ground and rentable office spaces, workshop and classrooms on upper floors were kept on the other edge to revitalize the pedestrian grounds and water body. The museum itself became the centrally located imposing built linking both the elements together. Figures: Right, site plan; Left, secondary block floor plans; Bottom, museum and hall floor plans.

Project dealt with a diverse population and the realities of overcoming housing segregation that is otherwise pervasive in Indian cities. Equitability and accessibility were a primary concern. Use of cluster typologies within sectors encouraged a community lifestyle, and interfaces between typologies were carefully deliberated. Adjacencies were designed with sensibilities to prevent conflicts and promote interaction. All building plans demonstrate the flexibility to address specific nuanced needs of each demographic.
SOCIAL HOUSING Najafgarh Co-operative
The housing township rests around a central axis, defined by a pedestrian street flanked by shops and orchards on either ends of which rests the commercial and community nodes. Vehicular movement was restricted to the periphery of the site with cul-de-sacs providing connectivity to the core of the site. The design encourages pedestrian movement through an efficient network of pedestrian streets and shortcut routes. Open greens were equitably distributed with all income groups over the site. Orchards were designated to promote local sustainable practices. The commercial center connected the proposed development via major access routes to Delhi, Najafgarh City and adjcent town of Chhawla. The community center, located at the intersection of primary movement lines, connected the proposed development to the existing village, Rewla Khanpur. A market with cottage industries serve as primary interface between the city and village. The idea of Najafgarh cooperative housing rests on the principle of creating Integrated Sustainable Townships through an Inclusive Growth Model of partnering with the Landowners. Units HIG were located close to the main access route to Delhi. MIG walk-ups were located along the primary cul-de-sacs allowing vehicular accessibility at the same time ensuring their connectivity to the community. Plots were designed as clusters promoting community integration into the city fabric. LIG plots were located primarily in the core of each sector ensuring easy accessibility into the central vista. EWS community has been provided with plotted row housing typology with shortcuts and green spaces to achieve a better quality of life without compromising on density.

Rawaton ka Bass, Old city, Jodhpur PROJECT:
Tunwar Jee Ka JHALRA
Independently handled project for Conservation and Renovation of a Baoli (stepwell) in Blue City. Project was coordinated by the local community and enterprises along with the Nagar Nigam to revitalize a heritage monument in the midst of the Old City of Jodhpur. Measured drawings of the same along with a 3D model of the entire site and the context were singlehandedly produced. Renovation design proposal presented to the Municipal Authority were approved for carrying out. Since renovation, site has contributed to a boost in the tourism potential of the area by restoring the beautiful monument to itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former glory. The baoli is also important to the local community: serving as a dargah for the local muslim community and a site for performing last rites for Hindus. Site also supports a thriving ecosystem of fishes, kingfishers, cormorants and other birds . Figures: Left, digital model, baoli; Center-left (top to bottom), baoli before draining; after draining and cleaning; after sand blasting, repairs; Right, render.

February-May 2014
he National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) is a premier thinktank at the forefront of economic policy research in India, at the site of an existing building in Indraprastha estate, adjacent to the Ring Road, New Delhi. The project entailed designing the new complex followed by an exchange design studio concentrating on optimized facade treatment with students from FHE Erfurt, Germany.

The design proposed the creation of a civic landmark in a skyline of iconic built, yet remaining humble to functional needs. The built was mixed mode, designed with eco-friendly sensibilities. Using natural ventilation and passive cooling techniques for user comfort along with adequate natural lighting. Insolation analysis on prototypes to determine the optimum incline to reduce direct summer heat on most impacted facades without projecting shades.
The typical office floor is designed keeping in mind the pros and cons of working in an open office scheme as well as a cubicle system, and resolves as a hybrid of the two. The private offices are lined up against either sides, receiving clear views and ample sunlight, and allowing indirect lighting to reach the workstations within. The workstations are a complex array of modules derived from simple geometric aesthetics, allowing a fluid but organized work ethic. The stations come together as a whole, functioning organism, but on an individual level, provide a complex variety of sub-spaces which account for anything from open to closed, solitary to group, private to public experiences for the worker. The higher floors are mostly all function specific, with meeting rooms and Administration right above the office floors and the accommodation, both staff and guests, on the topmost floors.

The first floor is completely dedicated to the library functions and connected over the ground floor reception. The library is closer to the ground because of the contributed load, doubling up for both public and office use. The west wing is mostly for office users and research while the east wing for more public use and reading. The library bookshelves continue up to the next floor in the east wing.

A 7 storey high rise multi-functional complex, with each floor plate almost exactly 1500 square meters area. The building has a central core with two blocks on either side. Both 'blocks' overlook a central plaza that is intended for hosting public events and for users to spill out into. Organizational structure of NCAER is responded to by keeping functions of public interest at the lower floors and those of specific interest at higher levels. Lifts, along with a central staircase are sufficient to cover everyday occupancy load easily while fire escape staircases on both ends cover escape routes for the entire building.
Figure: (left-panel, clockwise from top) left, insolation analysis for individual facades on ecotect; center-right, built form model; bottom, prototype form models.
Facade Treatment:
The building was been angled at 15 degrees from both extreme ends such that the building slowly tilts outward. This not only made the south-east and south-west facade comparatively insulated but made the walls shade themselves. The angles had been derived after verifying insolation levels on 10 degree, 15 degree, 25 degree and 35 degree. It was found that at 15 degree, most requirements were fulfilled without compromising on structure The south east and west facades are angled inwards to act as their own shades. The glass is tinted to allow in light but not direct sunlight.
Window size- 2200x1800 (900 from ground level) The north east and west facade, also the front facades are almost entirely single glazed to allow in most light and make indoor spaces feel more open and spacious. The glazing is embedded in a structural tesselated steel framework. The east and west extreme facades are covered in a double skin glazing spaced 600 to create an air vaccum. This creates an insulation layer but allows views and the feeling of spaciousness.

BEETLE HOUSE Rai Praveen Residence
Students were first introduced to site on a class trip organized in February to perform measured drawings and heritage restoration exercises of mud houses vernacular to humid subtropical composite climate of Madhya Pradesh. The community lifestyle and local construction practices and techniques were studied over the course of the homestay. Orchha is a 16th century princely state close to Khajuraho in Bundelkhand, preserving local monuments, cenotaphs and marketplaces, including the Raja Mahal, Laxmi Narayan Temple and Raja Ram Temple February - May 2012 CONTEXT:
ORCHHA, Madhya Pradesh
Rai Praveen Mahal, Orchha Local legend goes that Rai Praveen was well known for her enchanting beauty, poetry and music. Paramour of King Indrajit Singh, in whose court she performed, her fame inevitably spread far and wide until it reached the Imperial Court of Akbar. The Mughal emperor was smitten, and he arrogantly summoned her to his durbar. Indrajit Singh was too weak-kneed a ruler to defy the Imperial summons. The Rai Praveen Palace was constructed in three stories by Prince Indrajit Singh for his beloved. The walls of the central hall on the second story bore many paintings depicting the several moods of the Rai Praveen. The palace is combined with a garden divided into two parts, popularly known as Anand Mahal bagh (Garden). Figure: top, site plan; center, location of Orchcha in Madhya Pradesh.
The historical context and an open-ended narrative were supplied with the aim of designing a new home for Rai Praveenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reincarnation along the Anand Mahal bagh.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
(Upon being summoned again, Rai Praveen went to the Mughal court in 1602 to save Orchha and its ruler from getting into further problem. She presented herself before the emperor and asked for leave to recite a couplet. The couplet above translated as: 0' good and intelligent! Please listen to the prayer of Rai Praveen. Only bari (a low caste among Hindus), barber could eat from a plate, food from which has been partaken by someone else. Akbar, an intelligent person himself, understood the substance of Rai Praveen's couplet immediately. he rewarded her and allowed her to return to Orchha with dignity and honour.

he legend of Rai Praveen is brought to the present through her reincarnation, a transgendered linguist and dancer, Maria. The design derives semiotics throught the narrative on Mariaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character sketch, her story and habits. Maria returns to Orchcha to claim what is hers not only to be refused entry into her home, Rai Praveen Mahal, but also to be discriminated on grounds of her alternate sexuality. Thrown out at an early age from her house, this alienation hit home and Maria decided to use the residence as a statement to society. A twofold response, she situated it right at the periphery of the Mahal, to enjoy views to what was once hers. The house was private, meant to overpower the mahal, and draw attention towards itself.

CONCEPT DIAGRAM FOR RAI PRAVEEN’S CONTEMPORARY RESIDENCE
ORGANIC A house that takes from its surroundings and has an influence from nature. The house should make use of locally produced natural materials and sustainable practices. The form of the house however breaks into the context. CIRCLE OF SPACES To accomplish a circle of spaces for user to experience enhanced spaciousness while cruising in a smaller space as with Atelier Deshau’s Spiral Galleries. INTROVERT vs EXTROVERT Maria draws from her experiences, twin personalities. She is private and public to extremes. The house is built to facilitate such spaces and transition in between them.

Khirkee Village 28.53137, 77.21996
23
Intervention in the urban village of Khirkee was in (re)introducing the people of Khirkee village to their historical and cultural surroundings. Like any social intervention, this was not achieved by design alone. The actor of change, who once tied communities strongly before, was now lost in the hurdles of city life and forgotten. A bard of the Khirkee village would revive local interest and create a sense of community. Would get them to take pride in local landmarks- the Khirkee Mosque and Satpula Bridge. Once the significance of these monuments was felt, their potential could once again be explored. Once there was a sense of community, there would be attempts to revitalize, clean and reclaim all that was lost.
August - November 2011 CONTEXT:
KHIRKEE Village
Once a gem in the Tughlaq city of Jahanpanah (14th century), today Khirki Village is a mammoth mess, a conglomeration of dense buildings. Starting at Saket, just across from some of Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest malls the labyrinthine alleys go all the way upto Malviya Nagar, and Khirki is also flanked on all sides by other equally interesting urban villages like Hauz Rani and Chirag Dilli. While Hauz Khas and Shahpur Jat and even Lado Sarai have a strong artistic/ design bend, Khirki has acquired the reputation of hosting more experimental art practices, like the artist residency Khoj, or the dance residency, Gati. It now has a rich tradition of community art festivals and projects and frequent interactions between the local community and the arts community. (from 1100walks) While the older generation, the elders of the village had a lot of stories to share about the history of the place, this curiosity did not seem to have passed on to future generations. The project was part of studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anthropometric exercises. The daily activities of a chosen user were recorded and mapped along planes. For a constantly shifting landless user, the challenge lay in designing a multi-functional modular and portable space, a living skin. Spaces were amassed as daily and nightly and surfaces of varying materials (finally canvas) were molded in and around the optimum anthropometric space. The space was realised within exisitng portable structure of a rickshaw for economical viability. A foldable, moveable shelter cum performance space was hence designed to assist the bard in his daily living.
