Loation: BIT chawl, Dongri
Built form:
BIT chawl is a series of six chawl with a simple four storey rectilinear block perfectly aligned, internally separated by a central corridor. As the light source is only from the two edges of the corridor and windows in the kitchen, the corridor and living space of the chawl is quite dark. Every floor has a common room which sometime became a temple or a reading space.
Circulation:
The chawl is serviced by one entrance from the main road and there is a small gap between two buildings that faces a small stream of nullah which when crossed can lead directly to the railway track. The main entrance from the street leads to a staircase which connects the central corridor from where there is an access to all rooms of the chawl.
Site documentation
Location: Matharpakhadi
Site Documentation:
The site chosen for study was Mhatarpakhadi.
Three important building sites, the Goan club, the bakery and the gym and dispensary were chosen to be studied.
One layer of building around them was documented and the typology of buildings were analysed.
The group documented 6 buildings around bakery. I was involved in documenting one of the chawls near the bakery. The functions of the space were understood and implemented in the design process.
