01 incremental mass housing design thesis
8
A home, which we all know as a place of long duration stay, has long term effects on an individual. The qualities which makes this place happy and comfortable are mostly compromised on various unavoidable factors. A mass housing project in the urban Indian context is one such scenario where these qualities are disregarded while making way for the high occupancy. People who are, in addition, deprived of adequate basic amenities are the ones who suffer the most in terms of the environments they get to live in. This project explores the level of comfort that can be provided for an individual in a low cost housing project and attempts to achieve stability in its context.
9
A LOT OF INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS. Informal settlements are not to be seen as a problem. In fact, they are a living proof that an entity is functioning well where its individuals are abled to build their own houses. In the longer run, The areas in a city susceptible to development of such sort, should engage in sustaining these settlements instead of relocating them. Virtually all permanent and serviced housing is procured as an incremental process that takes place over relatively long periods of time. Only a minute segment of any society have access to long-term credit or has the resources to purchase outright or construct their dwellings as a one-off event. Informal settlements accommodate more than fifty percent of the population of many cities which means that most of the housing programs are long term and are subjected to change over the decades.
INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS IN BRIEF | incremental mass housing
10
Migration of people in search of job opportunities.
11
Informal settlements created within close proximity of source of income.
Land tenural issue dealt by developing this land for the occupants with the help of both internal and external financial sources.
Cost of Land is minimized by sharing. Cost of Construction is reduced by adapting to incremental growth of the dwelling units and sharing amenities.
Finances strengthened over the years leading to developing and customizing houses.
The study is taken up in the city of Mysore, India, which is witnessing positive growth and development, and is prone to increased migrations in the years to come. Mass housing can be considered as a probable solution to the urban sprawl the city is experiencing.
Locality Kuvempunagar 2nd stage Proximity to (nearest): city centre: 3.5 km ring road: 3.6 km city bus stand: 3.4 km railway station: 640m industrial area: 1.3 km airport: 6.4 km Site context: Residential area + Mixed land use
LOCATION | incremental mass housing
12
The Location studied acts as a perfect context to sustain the project. The site has, within a radius of 2 kms, a formerly industrial suburb of the city which is turning residential, Kuvempunagar - one of the prominent residential areas of the city, a railway workshop, a mix of commercial, educational, and low income residential layouts.
The Entire area which earlier was an agricultural ground and a small catchment area, which is now under the control of the local government, has slowly been developed along the periphery by providing new residential layouts.
13
The site comes under the residential landuse. Part of the land has been occupied by a settlement of 40 houses provided by the government. The inhabitants have an option to either stay and pay a fee to the government to obtain tenural rights or move out. Again, displacement is only going to cause formation of another informal settlement probably somewhere close-by.
SITE | incremental mass housing

SITE AREA - 6880 sqm(1.7 acres) F.A.R - 2

SETTLEMENT STUDY | incremental mass housing
The residents, according to their requirement, have altered the given 30sqm units. The maximum area acquired after alterations is 45sqm. Most of these unit alterations involve the addition of a room in the front yard - the only available space for expansion and interaction.
Plans showing variations of a typical unit, altered by the residents according to their needs and financial permits.
16
Households are categorised with respect to the number of occupants and the number of private spaces required. Four unit types are derived based on the family structure and space requirements.
Figure 2 explaining for each unit type - 1. the number of inhabitants, 2. spaces inside the units with a scope for an additional expansion in the future, 3. Initial and final floor areas and 4. the total number of dwelling units in the project

TYPE 1
Variations in each type is explored in terms of arrangement of spaces around the core of the house (that which is built at the start of the incremental process) which is mainly the wet areas, and the circulation space inside the unit. The area for incrementation is mostly along one of the exterior walls of the unit in order to serve as balconies, sit-outs of storage spaces.
UNIT TYPES | incremental mass housing
TYPE 2
TYPE 3
The units are designed to expand horizontally. Incrementation processes need not turn out the way its foreseen, which implies the need to have an element of control to restrict the growth up to an extent. The grid structure and the floor plates help in avoiding the encroachment of communal spaces over time.
TYPE 4.a
The interiors of the unit and the arrangement of the living spaces, up to a certain extent, can be personalised by the inhabitants which helps create a sense of identity and also provides diversity to the whole project.

Communal spaces in mass housing is as important as the dwelling units itself. Given the density of the entity, where crowding can neither be unnoticed nor ignored, a hierarchy in the common spaces is maintained to establish the extent of privacy and ownership amongst the residents. Behaviour of the inhabitants in public areas and the activities that is henceforth induced are regulated with the volume of the spaces created.

02 rural housing programme professional practise, semester 10
Indira Awaas Yojana is one of the flagship housing programmes of the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD), Government of India, providing housing assistance to poor families in rural areas. The programme provides financial help for housing, while allowing people to select their own design, construction techniques, methods and materials for construction. This promotes the use of locally appropriate and environment friendly technologies. With the latest guidelines for the programme, there is a provision to assist people to achieve this goal by imparting knowledge and awareness by means of developing guidelines and IEC materials, building prototypes or small scale models, and through training programmes. The UNDP – MoRD partnership with technical support from HUDCO aims to provide Indira Awaas Yojana households the choices in terms of green building designs, materials and construction technologies adapted to local conditions.

1. Demarcate the state into distinct ‘housing zones’ on the basis of climatic conditions, exposure to specific natural hazards, resource mapping of locally available skills and construction materials, existing traditional construction practices and design elements related to prevailing socio-cultural practices. 2. Prepare a compendium of technologies (building designs, materials, construction techniques and life cycle costs) including existing traditional practices where relevant and with potential for improvement in each housing zone. 3. To suggest a set of suitable foundation, walling, roofing options and other building elements specific to each housing zone. 4. Develop indicative designs for each housing zone including costing details and suggestions for incremental expansion of the house In the first part of the project, the study report demarcates building zones in the state of West Bengal based on various criteria. It identifies building materials and technologies, design variations, prevalence of such technologies and relates them to the affordability of the rural population in the state. The report also looks at the rural housing situation in Bengal from the environmental and sustainability viewpoint and proposes a brief for designers to come up with technology and design options that would suit rural housing construction for people living in each zone.

Zone A comprises of inland and central Bengal and forms a significant portion of the state. It covers the districts of Paschim Mednipur, Bankura, Purulia, Bardhaman, Birbhum, Maldah, Dakshin Dinajpur, Murshidabad, Nadia, North 24 Parganas as well as Howrah, Hughli and Kolkata which largely comprise of urbanized areas. The zone can further be subdivided into two based on geo-climatic conditions owing to the availability of natural resources. In terms of Housing typology, Zone A is mainly classified by the use of earth construction in various forms due to the ideal conditions of clayey soil and the resulting thick walls that battle high temperatures with thermal insulation. This soil conditions has also given rise to a fair number of brick kilns in the region. In the order of prevalence, cob, fired brick, adobe and stone is seen to be the primary materials for walling systems with cob and adobe being more prevalent in sub-zone A2 and brick and stone in sub-zone A1. Roof profiles are usually deep with a four way slope allowing for heat escape. Traditional materials include thatch, jute reed, terracotta flat tiles and country tiles which are now being replaced by corrugated GI sheets. Locally available timber and bamboo is used as an understructure to the roof.

It is a prevalent plan type with rooms on either sides of a central staircase leading to a mezzanine floor which is used as storage or sleeping area. It has been intervened with structural and material solutions. It’s a two storeyed load bearing structure with R.C.C plinth and the lintel ties provided to protect against seismic activities. The walling material is rammed earth for the ground floor and adobe for the mezzanine level. It has thatch roof with corrugated GI sheet protection on timber under-structure. The kitchen is treated as a separate entity and is built as a timber framed structure with wattle and daub infill walls. The palette of materials used has been done with deliberate care towards its climatic performances. Windows Kitchen and toilet block have been added to the design.

BRIEF The idea was to design a home in a rural scenario where there’s no restriction on the horizontal grounds and graft the idea to an urban scenario where there are more limitations and a need to explore the verticality of a design. plot A - rural scenario - 1000 sqft plot B - urban scenario - 240 sqft APPROACH In a world where we no longer eat food but food like products, the idea of growing your own food is not overrated. 10 years ahead growing one’s own food might be a necessity and not an option. To understand the needs of a future with space constraints, we analysed the idyllic setting of a larger area on the outskirts of the city where, the expanse of the space could be felt, and could afford to go horizontally. To complement the vastness of the area, planning was done radially where central pivot irrigation system was used.
50
PLOT A The core of plot A/ the magical essence of plot A is the direct interaction of the dwelling spaces and the fields with no buffer in between and irrigation system integrated with the structure (living spaces) itself, providing a 3600 experience. This system has an arm running through the radius, irrigating the field, rotating about a bore as the centre point.
51
PLOT B This essence was directly translated to plot B and a self-sustaining module was conceptualised. Assuming that in future, the module will be repeated, the interaction between the modules is explored.
52
53
Different positions of the home due to its 360 degrees rotation, gives rise to different experiences along the linear built form. It can incorporate either the dining area, gaming area, the pool or more importantly the farm land which is going to be providing a continuous shift in the feel of the space.
In Plot B, the relationship between the dwelling and the farmland is retained. The horizontal movement of the efficient hydraulic structure is transformed into a vertical movement in the urban context, due to space constraints.
Section explaining the mechanism of hydraulic pump adapted in the design. The power consumed by this process is reduced by the electricity generated by the building from its solar panels, making the building self sustaining.
Illustrating the irrigation of vertical farms by the movement of the units. Movement in the structure is incorporated to facilitate full interaction and visual connectivity throughout the height of the section.

Adaptation of the structure according to the change in time throughout the day: In the morning, when the most used spaces are the dining and the study room, the structure modifies, allowing double height space and more ventilation. In the afternoon, the living room is allowed a clerestory ventilation. At night, the structure is rearranged to provide more privacy to the bedroom and private spaces.
The modules in a cluster, adapt to the season along its section. In summer, the units tend to organise in a pattern that improves the ventilation in the structure. During winter, the modules are clustered close to each other to hold the warmth.
55
Urban Fabric for future development of Modules : Each of these units can be seen as module which can be clustered to form urban parks, interconnected backyards, circulation and public spaces, and so on.
04 school of architecture and planning semester 7
56
BRIEF To design a campus which provides distinctive qualities of the physical environment and builds an atmosphere conducive to intellectual discovery and interaction as well as repose and contemplation. The campus was to be planned and designed to promote curiosity, discovery, and inspiration. APPROACH The entire campus is designed with continuous flow of spaces and activities which enriches a person’s experience along the path into it. Activities are placed along a central spline and a shift in form, scale and architecture style can be perceived. This design breaks the stereotypical campus layout and focuses on integrating it as a single entity.
57
The size and the area of the site gave a scope to integrate and bring together the different departments which are conventionally spread across the vast area. The journey into the campus is made interactive and educative.
The central spline travels alone the shape and the contour of the site. The path is covered, open, along multiple levels and has spill out activity areas. It educates the students of the work that happens in the campus and facilitates interaction between them under different departments, on a daily basis.
Cut-outs in the studios is used to promote visual connectivity between the different sections. Built and the open are merged with landscaping. Studios have a central space which is used as an area of instruction or as discussion grounds and working area is arranged around it. Additional space is provided for small workshops and model making.

05 hospital semester 6
64
BRIEF To design a 100 bed multi specialty hospital which provides a lively environment. Hospitals require a highly functional design and is quite often neglected of the need for spaces that can help in providing a better healing environment. This project dealt with understanding the complexities in designing a hospital whilst creating a humane environment for the patients and the staff. APPROACH The hospital is designed to have enough lively and relaxing spaces that facilitates quality healing environment. Ease of access to all the facilities is complemented with intermediate gathering spaces contributing towards providing a stress-free atmosphere.
65
Creating an axis running along the site width, with Patients entry and staff entry marking its either ends.
Departments are placed on either side of the axis.
Entry into the blocks are provided from the axis, making the circulation easy and monitored.
Waiting areas, lounges and activity zones are created which open up to the central axis. Visual connectivity is maintained between these spaces.
Inpatients block, Operation theatre and other spaces which require more privacy is stacked on top.
Built spaces are complimented with semi-open and landscaped areas where activity generators like Waiting area, reading areas, coffee shops, cafeteria etc. are placed.

The documentation included Masterplan, Streets, Public spaces, Residences and Courtyard study of the village. link for the complete set of documentation:
THONDANOOR
73
Settlement started around the two temples. The brahmin community occupied the houses closest to the temples. Followed by this the rest of the communities were placed layer by layer. The main axis along the temple helped the development of public spaces adjacent to it. The major communities Gowdas and Vajras started their settlement around two shrines.
These developed as public spaces and further led to the development of the major streets. The axis of the street was determined by the slope of the bund.
A mosque was erected in the later years towards the south, leading to the formation of a muslim settlement near it.
Growth of the city and formation of major roads was structured by these three religious structures. Development can be seen in the village with the provision of better infrastructure over the years. 74
HISTORY The lake, Kere Thonnur, is approximately 130 km away from the city of Bangalore. It is a man made lake across tadavanadi connecting two rocky hills, built by Sri Vaishnava Saint Ramanujacharya. Located along this dam is a small village Thondanoor which enjoyed a glorious heritage during the reign of King Bitti Devaraya. built vs. open map | thondanoor
