EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
Proposal : Talking advantage of the fact that the site falls in the non-risk zone and considering the dilapidated condition of the residences, a new mid-rise residential complex is proposed as a replacement.
Mobility Schemes
Proposal : A façade renovation of the hospital building with a secondary ‘skin’ that will conceal the exposed HVAC system

CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS Taking advantage of the fact that the site vicinity lies just outside the volcanic risk zone, boundaries were extended to accommodate a midrise residential that will become a part of the context. The existing facilities on the site- the hospital and the football field are upgraded. The hospital façade which is cluttered with sporadic additions is rehabilitated with a secondary ‘skin’ using adobe panels, and the football field which is now disoriented with respect to via Argine, is re-oriented with a new gallery, and adding a commercial centre which while giving definition to via Argine, will also generate revenue for its maintenance.
Land - User Analysis Inference: Most of the site surroundings is dominated by residential use buildings.
LAND-USE LEGEND: Commercial buildings
Proposal: The new residential complex will accommodate shops/restaurants at the ground floor level that can have interaction with the new public square.
Residentials buildings
Traffic Analysis Inference: All the roads surrounding the site, with the exception of via Argine, have low density traffic.
TRAFFIC DENSITY LEGEND High Traffic Medium Traffic Low Traffic Pedestrian
Proposal: All vehicular exits from the site to be opened to the streets with low-density traffic.
Building Height Analysis Inference: Most of the nearby residential buildings are low- rise.

COLORS AND TEXTURES OF THE PROJECT
The focus on sustainability while adapting to this undeniable demand of the population for parking automobiles, implored towards the use of the excavated soil as an asset which is used to produce sun-dried bricks and rammed earth walls. The trees that will be affect in the process will be replanted within the site. New proposed plantings are native species and designing the green spaces was done keeping in mind the growth of the spontaneous landscape.
Earth-bund is landscape elements that provided at edges and will be planted to include different sized for native species with fast growing straits IT functions as a landscape boundary between proposed access road and the surroundings. Also serves as a growth medium for the third landscape. CONTEXTUAL MORPHING

EXCAVATED EARTH AS CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL: The hospital façade which is cluttered with sporadic additions is rehabilitated with a secondary ‘skin’ using adobe panels . Stabilised mud blocks to be used in the construction of the proposed residential complex and as permeable paving for the proposed access road the path of the public park, thereby reducing the run-off volume from the project area. The change in surface material from the street via Argine to the proposed access road will also trigger an intuitive response of the drivers to slow down.
LANDSCAPE SECTIONS From sections A&B we show how we have morphed the built spaces into the landscape so that the flow of green continues throughout the site. The parking lobby is designed to have the healing garden as its roof. The bike parking entry plaza, skate park, the public play areas acts as community interactive space. The amphitheatre and the seating are merged into the landscape.

BUCKINGHAM CANAL : A CHRONOLOGY
The Buckingham Canal is a 420 km long salt-water navigation canal in Madras, Tamil Nadu. The canal that was constructed by the British was an important waterway during the late nineteenth and the twentieth century. The canal was named the Buckingham Canal in 1878 because it was built on the orders of the then Governor, the Duke of Buc ingham. The tranquil scene of the Canal is captured into the lens of the Times of India cameraman on January 1, 1920. 1806 The northern part of the canal called as ‘Cochrane Canal’ was built from North Madras to Pulicat lake and was formed due to high tide in the Bay of Bengal as a salt water navigation canal. The excess water from the lakes flowd into the canal as it was improperly designed for about 11miles.
1802 The Buckingham Canal was built in 1806 as a salt water navigation canal running parallel to the Coromandel Coastline, from Vijaywada in Andhra Pradesh to Villupuram District in Tamilnadu, via Pulicat Lake, Ennore and Marakkanam.
1878 The south of Adayar canal was built to be a part of the wide netwoek in the flood water communication to the backwaters.
1857 In 1837 the canal was undertaken by Madras presidency - In 1854 the first lock was buit at Shadayankupparam about 7 miles from north Madras which no longer exists. It was abandoned in 1895. A new canal was excavated from Adyar river to Papanchavadi and the further south. 1877 The extension connects Perne river which is located in the Kolar from where goods can be transported.The governor Lord Buckingham asked people to dig a canal joining South Canal and Coooum. It was five miles — starting behind the University of Madras and ending at Greenways MRTS station. Now, the entire water body all the way from Pedaganjam to Marakkanam became navigable and was called Buckingham Canal.The extension connects with Krishnapalam Port which has a tropical dry forest from whre the woods were transported.

WATER BODIES
WATER BODIES AND THE BUILT-UP AREAS
Water bodies have been decreased dramatically over the past year in Chennai. In 1980, an estimated of 650 waterbodies existed in the region, with most of them located in the south of the Adyar river. At present however only 30 water bodies are existing. According to the record of the Water Resources Department (WRD), the area of 19 major lakes has been shrunk from a total of 1,130 hectares to nearly 645 hectares and hence reduced their storage capacity, mainly due to encroachments and misuse of the lake bed were the reasons.
URBANIZATION
FLOOD RISK ZONES
GREEN AREAS
The consequence of this rapid loss of waterbodies has not only reduced the extent of collective water harvesting, but also severely impacted flood management within the city. The principal causse of local flooding in many areas, is the mismanagement of water bodies and impairment of linking canals.

COMMUNITY GARDENS
MULTIUSE PAVILLIONS
Community gardens act as a ongoing activity that brings the community to nurture their work during a designated periods of time. It also functions to restore ecological balance along the canal banks.
The lawns not only function as a atch of landscape but also allow for a flexible space that can host an array of events.
TACTICAL ACTIONS The objective of the tactical activities is to create a set of place making elements that can be further employed to achieve certain set of goals that are aspired for any other strip. The menu consists of elements that could be used altogether or in permutations and combinations along various parts of the canal based on the demands of the space and its context.
SOCIAL GATHERING SPACES CAFES Cafes not only contribute to the social fabric of the place but also play an mportant role in the revenue generation required for site.
Dedicated social gathering spaces foster the communities sense of togetherness and allow for people to meet new people amongst the community.

Green infrastructure incorporates both the natural environment and engineered systems to provide clean water, conserve ecosystem values and functions, and provide a wide array of benefits to people and wildlife. The term green infrastructure means planting trees and restoring wetlands, rather than building a costly new water treatment plant. It means choosing water efficiency instead of building a new water supply dam. Various activities can be housed and created around the GI elements. The GI elements can also be created with the participation of the community themselves. Many educational and institutional activities can be planned around the GI elements.

The space must allow for public expression and offer dynamism to interact with all age groups and communities. Visual and physical porosity in design must be of utmost importance in order to create points of interest and invite the people within the space.
Tactical urbanism is a method used for low-cost and temporary changes to the built environment which are intended to improve local neighborhoods. It is a deliberate and phased approach to instigating change. It The offers local solutions for local planning challenges. One of the biggest merits of this method is that it has a short-term commitment and has a very low-risk with a possibly high
In order to clean the canal water and rejuvenate the canal all these concerns pose as the immediate challenges.

CANAL & EDGE TRANSFORMATION
The design and concept of showcasing the landscape innovations that can follow concerted clean-up efforts to transform the canal into a civic, ecological and infrastructural asset for the city. By replacing the concrete wall with ghats and natural slopes and naturalizing the section as whole, the canal is protected as a natural waterway rather than a conduit.
The proposed Integrated water management system for restoring Buckingham canal includes creating a network of small scale green infrastructure projects. A raingarden, bioswale, a strip of constructed wetlands on either banks and a system of floating treatment wetlands and aerators have been used to begin the process of restoring the canal edge.
The first step to achieve this is to have a clean canal. Moreover, it should interact with the people. This can be done through city wide development of the canal. Currently the hard edges act as a barrier and thus should be converted to a permeable edge to make way for resilient methods of sustainable development strategies.
For the health of the canal it needs to be seen as an asset by the people of Chennai. This is a two step method which includes edge redevelopment and cleaning the canal through passive non-destructible remedies. Following are some methods which can be employed- Live stakes, Green Grid System, Rip-Rap, etc.
Openings created by the new edge condition establish visual connection from the neighbour-
Sloping ghats increase the capacity of the canal while providing a floodable public edge.
