The Project and Site: Routes & Roots

A historic site is a contested site, pitting efforts to preserve a nation’s ancient treasures against its modern pressures on land for shelter, commerce and even leisure. The ideal of shared heritage clashes with claims on private ownership (“my father grew up here, this is our land…”). Each side views the other as a threat. The wall demarcating the antiquities precinct from its surroundings becomes a prominent experience at sites of historical significance, be it in an urban or rural situation. At its most obvious, it is an element to counter encroachment, one that seeks to draw an unambiguous line between preserving the past from a messy present and unpredictable future; a decisive, and singular, act to maintain the integrity of the archaeological site. In the wake of the recent Hampi bazaar evictions (May 2012), our studio will be located in Hampi amidst the landscape of scattered monuments and granite boulders. As with many monuments in India, ancient ruins coexist with living temples and bazaars attracting tourists, researchers and pilgrims. The 2.7km (30 minute walk) section of Highway 131 and boundary wall system, along the western edge of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, between the Sri Krishna Temple to the North, and the Queen’s Bath Complex to the south. A 40m wide zone along the boundary wall, including the highway, is designated to be zone in which building is permitted. Students are permitted to divert the existing highway within this zone to alter the relationships between the wall, the road and the programmatic elements. Hampi is a fair weather place, with intense summers and brief rains. Tourist season is from October through March. BUILDABLE ZONE 40M WIDE

The studio will seek to accommodate and articulate notions of the past and present, and the coexistence of the two. The investigations will utilize a system of interconnected programs, in the form of sequential exercises, as the tools. The resulting grammar, composition and relationship between these programmatic elements will be seen to express each student’s particular understanding of the studio’s objectives. Attitudes to connection, and character, are encouraged to take into account the experience marked by slowness, distraction and economy of expression, thereby acknowledging both the surrounding monuments, the unique landscapes as well as the lush vegetation.

The Wall The wall as the most basic of human gestures. To demarcate (mark). To secure. To claim. To protect. To keep out the unwanted. To begin an enclosure. But this first act is rarely the last. The instinct to enclose is soon followed by the desire to extend. To reconnect. An opening appears to look beyond. A ramp to climb atop. A niche to introduce a direction. A ripple (parallel wall) to extend space. A bend to contain space. The Museum Complementing the main archaeological museum in the town of Kamalapur, south of the site, the museum will reflect the shifts in the fields of archaeology and conservation from an object based to a context based approach. A rotating exhibit system reflects history, and therefore heritage, as inclusive and evolutionary, with multiple discourses, rather than a fixed sequence of events or identity. To that end, the mission of the museum will be to reflect the ongoing work and contemporary practices conducted at Hampi, as well as the region, including sites such as Badami, Aihole, Pattadakkal etc. through curated exhibitions (as opposed to permanent collections, typical of most archaeological museums and archives). Outdoor connectors are encouraged Research & Education House For any conservation effort to be relevant and socially sustainable, outreach and engagement with local communities is an essential partner to the research and fieldwork. The field house is intended to house research and administrative activities of visiting scholars and research teams (excavation, documentation & conservation) as well as outreach and educational programs for the local community such that they can participate in on-site work along with the visiting expertise. Outdoor connectors are encouraged

Tourist â&#x20AC;&#x153;Depotsâ&#x20AC;? Hampi does not have any hotels near the archaeological site. The nearest popular accommodations are either in Hospet, Kamalapur or across the Tungabhadra river. Most visitors therefore come to Hampi either by car, taxis or tourist buses. Most cars (and of course, buses) are taxis, and day accommodations for drivers should be a consideration. Local guides are available for the entire day (often grouped with visits to nearby sites such as Badami, Aihole, Pattadakkal), or by the hour. The guides are generally from the local community and nearby towns, and arrive to the site in the morning by local/regional transportation. A few have motorcycles and bicycles. Toilets are an important convenience, as the archaeological site does not have any public restrooms. Places to eat, picnic style, is another facility desired within the tourist experience, as the trip to Hampi normally is a day-long affair, and many tourist groups get their own food. Tourist depot(s) maybe consolidated into one centralized facility, or be broken up into upto a maximum of three smaller facilities.

Week 2 Week 1 Movement & Movement & Mapmaking Mapmaking Site Visit Hampi

Week 3-5 The Wall 1:20

Exploring the expectations and opportunities in a boundary condition for a heritage precinct. Architectural discourse is problematized by notions of insides and outsides: Its productions, institutions, disciplinary boundaries, geographical alignments, and social milieu all raise questions of interiority and exteriority. How do we frame our investigations so as to delimit, dissolve, and reconstitute these edges within the context of Hampi?

Guest Lecturer: Radhika Pandit, Graduate Student, School of Conservation Internship with the Kishkindha Trust with a focus on generating walking tours and maps for the HampiAnegundi region

Week 6-9 The Masterplan 1:5000

The exploration of an architectural programme through an overall attitude to the site. Locating and developing programmatic elements and their relationships into a comprehensive site design, with clearly defined formal attitude.

Week 10-13 The Building[s] 1:500 1:200 1:100

The development of an architectural vocabulary that gives formal expressions to the architectural programme, and defining the nature of the cultural institution.

Week 14 R e v i e w s & Exhibition

Week 1: (30.07.12- 03.08.12) The studio will work on constructing personal architectural narratives in preparation Assignment: for next week’s site visit to Hampi. The intention is to get familiar with methodological concepts each student will be required to use while documenting their individual experi- We will use the CEPT University campus as a test site. The student will construct three ences in Hampi, as well as a warm-up exercise to start the semester. narratives, using each of the three concepts. Three concepts will be investigated: a) The notion of the Promenade Architecturale or the ‘architecture of movement’ b) The notion of Walking Tours – the thematized experience of a landscape or city c) The notion of reimagining– the reimagining of the theme, elements or concepts that the student explored in the first two exercises (a & b)

Movement & Mapmaking: Exercise #1

Any textual citing will be integrated within larger visual connotations. The presentation will be an A2 sized panel, poster, folded brochure, folded structure appropriate to the student’s narratives. Hand-drawing, illustrations, digital photography, collages, cut-outs, pop-ups, typography… are all encouraged. The objective here is to dive into articulating experiences visually.

Student : KrushnKumar Khasiya

Student : Bhavin Shukla

Week 2 – Site Visit The objectives are to get a sense of the place and document the site in order to form personal narratives (building on the lessons observed and learned through the exercise in the 1st week) which will become the basis for the existing context/ conditions that each student will refer to for the rest of the studio. The schedule for the week is as follows: 6th August- Monday-

Bus from Mumbai to Hospet

7th August- Tuesday-

Arrive at Hampi

Hampi- Day 1: Wander Hampi without a guide The focus should be on exploring the site. Document the strategies of exploration. These are the first encounters. 8th August- Wednesday- Hampi- Day 2: Guided Tour of Hampi The Guides’ perspective as one possible narrative. Observe and document the beginnings and endings; the path, the stops, the rhythms and the emphasis.

10th August- Friday- Hampi- Day 4: Visit Badami, Aihole and Pattadakal Apart from the built environment, observe the ways in which the tourist experience is structured (or the lack thereof). 11th August- Saturday- Hampi- Day 5: Representation/ Documentation of the Site The objective is to begin articulating experiences of the site visually 12th August- Sunday- Hampi- Day 6:

Representation/ Documentation of the Site Return Journey

Other things to do during the visit: Visit the restaurant Mango Tree – the approach through irrigated fields, the siting along the river, the food. Visit the villages around the ruins which has been there since before the Vijayanagara empire

9th August- Thursday- Hampi- Day 3: Tour Hampi on one’s own/ Visit Kamalapur Museum A second day of explorations in the context of the first wanderings, as well as the encounter with a guided tour. Document what changed from the first day, what was reinforced. Kamalapur Museum – an ‘official’ narrative. Observe its structure and choreography, as well as its contrast to the guide’s version of the site; where are the overlaps, and what are the distinctions.

HAMPI LIFE CYCLES (2012) Wall. The current preservation policies of the ASI have shaped a landscape of devastation. Local inhabitants and waste material are dumped in the same manner â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;out of sight out of mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. In a first step the project attempts to reveal the potential that is not buried under but rather lies within Hampis 21st century ruins. Once a brick has been fired, its clay cannot serve as a binder for a second time - in order to manufacture blocks out of brick rubble, a new material hast to be added. Process. To allow for a large scale recycling process, an assembly line will be established along the main road to Hampi. Trucks collect brick rubble from Hampi Bazaar and transport it to Site#2, close to Sister Stones. There the waste material is crushed/grinded and mixed with cement, the adjacent river provides required water. After hardening the blocks are further transported to Site#3 (south-west orientation) where they are stacked along the main road for curing and drying. An envelope, consisting of 2 layers (inner:jute,outer:plastic) has been developed for the following reasons. While curing the envelope collects water (rainfall and night time) and preserves humidity (sunshine hours). Wet jute moistens the blocks and plastic hinders evaporation - during rainfall the envelope unfolds to increase surface for water collection. While drying the envelope prevents moisture in times of rainfall. Annual rainfall reports show that the last heavy monsoon rainfalls are to be expected throughout the month of October. Ideally the curing process is launched by mid October (two weeks), followed by four weeks of drying in November.

Collective. Throughout rural India, a surplus of manpower compensates what is generally achieved by machinery in the western world. The primarily manual process described above, aims to directly involve local inhabitants in the recreation of their future living environment (required machines and infrastructure will be provided by the government). Once all waste material is recycled, the concrete blocks shall serve as a building material for the evicted. Life Cycles. Sunshine throughout the year but unbearable heat in March and April; heavy rainfalls during monsoon (July to October); various holidays and festivals attracting large numbers of tourists (spiritual and non-spiritual) periodically; altering landscapes due to agricultural landuse (...) Museum and Research. Considering a relatively small population and drastically changing number of visitors trough out the year, as well as understanding the ruins of Hampi as a coherent entity, lead to the decision of reducing the amount of built mass to a necessary minimum. Among the numerous temples, bazaars, baths, etc. potential hosts for variable program (the museum) can be found temporarily. At a junction connecting the three villages of Kamlapur, Kaddirampur and Hampi, in the midst of plantations, appearing and disappearing with agricultural lifecycles, a building of two characters is located. Partly subterrean, the buildings foundation (solidity/ permanence), encloses archive- and workshop spaces as well as a water purification tank. An array of different lightweight typologies (pavilion, accommodation, sanity), allowing for a variety of configurations and capable of traveling, rests on top of the foundation.

I TOOK THE ROAD THAT LEADS FROM KAMLAPUR TO HAMPI AS MY MAIN SCENARIO. THE GOAL OF THE PROJECTS IS TO BRING A CLEARER VIEW AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE . ALSO, TO PROVIDE A SHELTER AND FACILITIES TO THE VISITORS AND LOCALS. WITH THAT PURPOSE, I INTEND TO CREATE A

THE SIMPLE

OF PLAINS, SERVING AS PLATFORMS AND ROOFS THAT WOULD GUIDE THE VISITOR ALONG THE WAY, MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO STOP AND GAZE AT THE UPCOMMING SITE. HOPEFULLY, THE CONTINUOUS APPEARANCE OF EITHER THE PLAINS OR THE EXISTING TREES AND OTHER NATURAL COMPONENTS OF THE PATH TO HAMPI, WOULD BE SENSED AS A WHOLE WOULD BRING

TO THE COMPLEX.

AND

THE GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO PLACE A SET OF WHAT I CALL PAVILLIONS, ALONG THE ROAD. THESE INTERVENTIOS ARE MENT TO GIVE A SENSE OF UNITY TO THE PROMENADE ALONG THE COMPLEX, AS WELL AS TO OFFER A SERIES OF POSSIBLE USES EITHER TO THE SPORADIC USERS, OR SO TOURISTS, OR TO THE LOCALS THAT USE THE SPINAL CORD THAT IS THE ROAD, EVERY DAY.

THE PLAINS WOULD BE SET ALONG THE ROAD AS PAVILLIONS, CONSIDERING THE DIFFERENT SITUATIONS OF THE TOPOGRAPHY LINES, SHADED AREAS HERITAGE SITES AND COMMON SPACES ALREADY USED BY THE LOCALS.

THE CORRUGATED STEEL PLATES ARE AS POPULAR AND CHEAP, AS THEY ARE EFFICIENT AND EASYLY REACHABLE. THEY ARE USED FOR A MORE DURABLE TYPE OF ROOFING.

USED TO DEVELOP

THE FLOORPLAN IN AN WAY WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDING PROGRAM AND FUTURE GROWTH, IS INSERTED IN THE SURROUNDING AS A THAT BRINGS COHERENCE TO THE COMPLEX. THE INTERVENTIONS ARE MEANT TO BE BUILT IN THE MOST SIMPLE BUT AT THE SAME TIME, SOLID AND WELL JUSTTIFIED WAY POSSIBLE, INSPIRED BY THE LOCAL STRATEGIES OBSERVED. THE PLASTIC SHEETS FOR THE ROOF, ALTHOUGH NOT ALWAYS VERY POLISHED, COULD BE USED ALONG WITH A MORE ORGANIC MATERIAL TO CREATE A VERY USEFULL REMOVEABLE COVER.

THE BAMBOO STICKS ARE FOUND IN MENY DIFFERENT SIZES, ALL VERY APPROPIATE IN TERMS OF FLEXIBILITY AND RESISTANCE.

THE MORTAR BRICKS USED AS RESISTANT WALLS AND SUPPORT FOR A MORE VERSATYLE TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION COULD BE BROUGHT UP TO THE BUILDING AS AN EFFICIENT RESOURCE AND A SPACE DEFINING TECHNOLOGY

THE REMOVEABLE OUTTER LAYER OF THE LOCAL CONSTRUCTIONS ARE OFTEN BUILT OUT OF PALM TREE LEAVES, AFTER A PROCESS OF DRYING AND MANUFACTURING.

THE WALL BUILDING TRADITION CAN BE EASILY OBSERVED IN THE LOCAL CONSTRUCTIONS. THE DOUBLE LAYER OF STONE, ALONG WITH COMPACTED EARTH, HAS BEEN USED OVER THE YEARS AS BOUDARIES. THE PIECES OF STONE ARE ALREADY ACCESSIBLE TO THE USER. THEY CAN BE FOUND ALL OVER THE COMPLEX, IN DIFFERENT SHAPES AND SIZES, THAT CAN BE ADJUSTED TO THE VARIETY OF CONSTRUCTION USES

THE LOCAL STONE IS DIFFICULT TO MANNIPULATE, BECAUSE OF ITS CONSISTENCY AND RESISTANCE, BUT IS THEREFORE APPROPIATE TO BUILD LOAD BEARING WALLS, AND STRONG FOUNDATIONS

The Ideas

the tourist: 10% of the visitors. 90% of the money. depends of the seassons. the tourist is interested in ruins (wich does not understand), non-active temples and landscape. moves from one point to an other visiting all that he can in the way, but usually gets a superficial sense of the site. the pilgrim: 90% of the visitors.10% of the money. depends of the seassons. the pilgrim is interested in active temples and natural-holy places. understands the ruins but is not interested in them. moves directly to his objective and gets a superficial view of the site. the local: depends of tourists and business with them.also depends of the harvesting seassons. interested in business and plantations. does not really care about the cultural heritage in the site (but still he likes it). knows the site and has a complete sense of it. the researcher: seasson to develop their project. interested in many different features of the hampi site: monuments, temples, nature and local life. knows the place deppending on their own interests, but generally have a deep sense of knowledge.

Student: Pablo Diz

3-LET THE INFORMAL NEW STRUCTURE EMERGE

The Wall One Place // Different Spaces

The Masterplan

deppending on the lecture a person does from a place, he gets a personal notion from a certain place. different people would get different notions. is it possible that different people have differnet notions of the same place unnoticing the rest of other’s notions? would these notions be completely independent from each other? in the case of hampi, there are certain elements that create common-spaces in differnet people notions of the place, such as the main temple, the river, or an old but still active temple. the interest of this project is based on understanding different lectures of the same place and try to connect them, either using existing common spaces or creating new ones. the project does not pretend to create a common notion of the place for every different user: it pretends to create a common space where different notions meet and mix, but still having their own interests and particular lectures of the site.

The Elemental Element

a pillar as the minimux expression of human action in the landscape. the pillar allows to create a lenguage based on it’s dispossition, giving different characters to the space surrounding. this system allows the user to read space in an individual way, and gives him the freedom to understand different situations in the same space. this alien element allows to put closer the differnt elements in hampi,such as temples,ruins or nature. it os a sewing element

Hampi Axial Detour Hampi - The Mosaicked Fabric A Cultural Centre

Hampi: axial • Hampi , a heritage city, which consists one of the most beautiful context with stone boulders, river tungabhdra to the other extent of the landscape.The city which carries a long history from pampa sarovar to the period of king krishnadev . • With this vast site for tourism, there are plenty existing routes whose usage varries from pilgrims to tourists to rock climblers to researchers. • At this bigger scale , it was tried out to mark all the existing routes possible and how it varies like mainly 2 different kind of routes which is possible 1. Open ended: start at different point and end at different point. 2. Closed loop:like a circle which start and end at same point. • The routes varies from royal route, natural routes, cosmic route ,temple route,spiritual route etc... With a varing context of green fields ,boulders ,rivers.It becomes overall map of all routes where one pick a route to follow. Zooming down to the royal route by parking the vehicle at underground shiva temple, you start your journey to the royal route.After coming to the queen’s bath,there is a dissolve wall which changes character as you move ahead and ends at the museum .There is a larger connection made through the queen’s bath to museum to the research centre with the continous void.From the window of lotus mahal ,you can see through and through till the research centre with the more public spaces like the dining space and the courts. Following the wall and roof –line of museum ,you reach to the ramp which leads you towards the gallery .The multi-media space is on the other side of wall which is able to allow people from the outside and make connection to the other axis. The research centre is the end of the route with a fragmented courts and labs as hand in the u-shaped building.

DETOUR This project started off with the idea of creating a DETOUR in Hampi and discovering and building new relationships with the main highway and the programmatic elements. The existing fort WALL of Hampi is used as a boundary to define the extents and later the same became a generator which accommodated and articulated the elements of the program. It was a rare condition of a wall and the agriculture existing together, within which the architectural experience is created. The orientation of the agricultural fields and the existing routes in between the fields become the routes for the programmatic elements as well. The fields acted as a major tool, to give a character to the location and form of the elements. The program is fragmented into three main clusters. One which houses the functions of The Museum, second which is The Research centre and third is the Living quarters for the visiting researchers. Two clusters out of the three are detailed out. Cluster 3: LIVING QUARTERS for the researchers The outreach labs are situated along the main road and the tourist depot is located right across the road near the heritage precinct. The researchers that would come to this place for work would supposingly come along the main road and hence the living quarter becomes the first sort of a cluster as one moves in through the outreach labs. This cluster along with the rooms, has a common dining space for the people living there. It becomes a central sort of a gathering space for the people working in the outreach labs situated on end as well as people working in the research centre. Practically it also becomes easier to bring in the goods required in the kitchen premises. In this way the needs are easily tied together. The open space of this cluster has more of a public character to it. The private semi open space for the rooms opens out to the banana fields and not the courtyard. The boundaries of private and public are hence clearly defined. Cluster 2: Research and Education Field house Walking further into the fields, one encounters the next cluster which is the research centre. This is located at a shorter distance from the living quarters just as the need suggests. It houses the working labs and a big semi open space which ties all these closed spaces together. The semi open space kind of bisects the open space of the cluster. The character of the open space is public but it can be seen differently in terms of the usage; as formal and informal. One experiences a feeling of contraction and expansion as one moves along through the fields and the clusters. The pleasure of walking along the heritage and working and living in the serene environment of the fields is what sums up the design altogether.

Near Hampi there is a road that provides the physical link between the bazaar of town and the monumental area of the ruins. This road forms a route through the area around which certain qualities centre. The studio revolved around the notion of the wall. A wall is also a linear element that crosses through space. The road near Hampi has been regarded as a wall containing nodes of qualities, these have been mapped according to their function and represented as elements of the wall.

Museum The museum that is supposed to convey the story of Hampi is now located in a village away from the route; I propose to integrate this museum with the route through the area as the collection it houses is an inherent part of the surroundings. The wall and the museum are now merging into one; because both are so deeply ingrained in the surroundings. The museum is seen as another; though unique; element in the wall. The existing qualities of the wall have been preserved and enhanced. The informal activities are functioning on ground level with the new connections to the surroundings. The institution is to become an element of the wall; but not to diminish the qualities it already proposed; as such the formal activities of the museum have been placed on a different level: underground. By digging into the ground the notion of permanence becomes tangible, a feeling which is embedded in the ruins themselves. Patios bring light and provide vertical connections between the informal and formal activities. Walking down into the museum via long slopes during which the building becomes encapsulating, blocking out the external world and only focusing on its own inner world, is reminiscent of the qualities offered by the various temple complexes in Hampi themselves.

Reinterpreting the Past Hampi is a place where movement and pause are defined in its architecture. In a vast landscape temple becomes the place of pause, bounded by the walls whereas the market is an idea of constant movement recreational and connected. This idea of movement and pause is taken further and reinterpreted for the given program. The placement of the museum and the research centre are at different locations along the path. The museum is near the royal complex which is more like ruins and the research centre is near to the secular complex surrounded by the banana plantations. The museum is located on the side of Underground Shiva Temple having rocky landscape on one side and temple on other side. Taking the idea of wall further the museum becomes the entrance to the pedestrian route that takes you to Royal complex, Hazara Rama Temple, Lotus Mahal. It acts as a series of portals that takes you inside and tells you the story of Hampi on that route. It becomes the place of temporary exhibition and the work done in research centre can also exhibit here. In a way museum becomes a place which suggests the movement and connectivity like an old market in Hampi. The Research centre is located near the live temple and it becomes

like a point of interaction for locals. The research centre becomes the wall that is thickened to fit the functions in it. It becomes like a place of pause in landscape. The entrance is not monumental but accidental. The interior has two courtyards at different levels. The courtyard in the workshop and lab area becomes more like a spill over space of workshops and becomes the area for outreach to locals. The other courtyard serves as a living space for the researchers and the rooms for them are on the boundary of that courtyard. Both the part of program are connected by the dining area. The edges in this program became very important. Sometimes there are hard edges, sometimes soft and semisoft according to the functions in the interior. The stay area for researchers merges with the banana plantation while the workshop area has a strong edge with the road. Tourist depots are scattered along the road. The main parking is divided in two parts, one near the Queens bath and other near the Krishna temple. Small depots are provided near the museum and research centre. The places of rest are created at specific points along the route.

Accentuating Ruins The Research & Community Centre Interlacing Systems

Accentuating Ruins With the introduction of program, I decided to connect all the function within the site with a meandering path between a heritage wall and the vegetation wall (can be fields or banana plantation) and house the program in it in such a manner that it will accentuate the existing heritage monuments.

Student: Rahil Shah

â&#x20AC;&#x153;STRATEGY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Master planâ&#x20AC;? The placement of the museum is in-between the wall of the royal precinct and the landscape of fields and banana plantation, where the placement of the Research centre is in-between the complex wall of the Krishna Temple and the rough boulders situated on the site. The character of the museum was such that it is touching the heritage wall very lightly, where for the research centre it is more embedded to the ground. The positioning of the museum is more nearer to the monumental area of Hampi, where for the Research it is more nearer to the living part of the Hampi to get more local interaction. And at the same Tourist Depots are placed in two separate units along with the museum and also with the research centre.

Detail Resolution â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Museum By separating vehicles from the building and stopping it right on the road was to make a route by taking people into the plantations and giving them a new experience than the usual one. By making a meandering path from the main road to the building was first to give the glimpse of the building and letting the viewer to discover the whole. For the function of the Museum the use of the geometrical forms to create gallery for the exhibition space and the non-geometrical forms to create administration department was the initial intention of the designing. By dividing a space with a singular column in between each gallery bay was to give dominance to the curved gallery wall and also to make the movement of the viewer parallel to the wall. The second concern of the design was to let viewer encounter an open exhibition space head to the exit point through meandering path-to the parking.

travel

communication

the tourist depots bcome infrastructure at the intersections. in realization that the road still serves as the main mode to view the ruins. the program is split apart allowing small places of rest to exist along the road. these stops only enhance natural places of rest that already occur.

the research + community center serves as a meeting place for a mixture of people and events. creating a new center for events and an information hub for the hampi area. hampi currently has no true center, especially with the demolition of the central bazaar.

outreach/education the research + community center serve as a base point for outreach programs and education. striving to rengage both the tourist and the locals with knowledge of heritage, and culture
