Synopsis The current economy of emerging markets of India can be categorized into many classes. A certain corner within that sub-classification of a Post-Industrial society is what is known to be the Experience Economy, whereby value addition in goods and services are not just due to technological advancement at the top, but by combining already existing technology with multiple disciplines, Entrepreneur in such start-ups attempt to create a new market with their products and services. This is a tricky business, risk is high and so is the value of the business if it succeeds. In this environment, the risk takers are usually those who have not much to lose, or sometimes everything to lose. An incubator is a place where Businesses can be incubated until its maturity. Usually, the best place to locate such an Systemic Infrastructure is an area in the vicinity of a technical university. Professionals and Enthusiast from all fields can thus meet and create meaningful inventions that are extremely consumer centric. And so a new typology of spaces emerge whereby product development and business ends are met in the same space. Starts-ups are one of the most promising solutions to the problem of job-creation. The Government of India, recognizing the merit of such entities have initiated The Atal Incubation Mission whereby startups are provided with tax breaks, and universities and private companies offered incentives to host/run such incubators. To meet the demands of these Start-ups, an Incubator center is envisioned by this projected located in the Dwarka region of New Delhi, within the vicinity of two eminent technical universities and the direct connection of The Delhi MRTS For such spaces, it becomes important to streamline all the requirements of its users within the immediate vicinity, and so an area programme should be generated which included Services Apartments, Experience Center, Exhibition Halls and Auditorium, treated appropriately With fast pace change in technology, architecture of the 21st century has to be a flexible and reconfigurable one, spatially and technologically. The following scheme and processes are an attempt to develop collaborative spaces that are characterized as an infrastructural component, and thus are reconfigurable to changing needs. This report is an attempt at recording the determinants, the processes and the evolution of the outcome of the Final Thesis Semester of the Undergraduate Programme in Architecture at School of Planning & Architecture, New Delhi.

Design & Technology Incubator - Thesis 2017


सारांश भारत के उभरते बाजारों की वर्तमान अर्थव्यवस्था को कई वर्गों में वर्गीकृत किया जा सकता है। पोस्ट-इंडस्ट्रियल सोसाइटी के उस उपवर्गीकरण के भीतर एक निश्चित कोने जो अनुभव अर्थव्यवस्था माना जाता है, जिसके द्वारा माल और सेवाओं में मूल्य वृद्धि सिर्फ तकनीकी उन्नति के कारण नहीं है, बल्कि पहले से ही मौजूदा तकनीक को कई के साथ मिलकर विषयों, ऐसे शुरूआती उद्यमी अपने उत्पादों और सेवाओं के साथ एक नया बाजार बनाने का प्रयास करते हैं। यह एक मुश्किल काम है, जोखिम अधिक है और व्यापार का मूल्य अगर यह सफल होता है। इस माहौल में, जो जोखिम लेने वाले होते हैं, वे आमतौर पर जो हारने के लिए ज्यादा नहीं होते हैं, या कभी-कभी हर चीज को खोना पड़ता है एक इनक्यूबेटर एक ऐसी जगह है जहां व्यवसाय इसकी परिपक्वता तक हो सकता है। आमतौर पर, इस तरह के एक सिस्टमिक इन्फ्रास्ट्रक्चर का पता लगाने के लिए सबसे अच्छी जगह एक तकनीकी विश्वविद्यालय के आसपास के क्षेत्र में है। सभी क्षेत्रों से पेशेवर और उत्साही इस प्रकार मिल सकते हैं और सार्थक आविष्कार पैदा कर सकते हैं जो अत्यंत उपभोक्ता केंद्रित हैं। और इसलिए रिक्त स्थान की एक नई टाइपोग्राफी उभर सकती है जिससे उत्पाद विकास और व्यवसाय समाप्त होता है एक ही स्थान में मिले। नौकरी-सृजन की समस्या का सबसे बढ़िया समाधान शुरू होने से शुरू होता है। भारत सरकार ने इस तरह की संस्थाओं की योग्यता को पहचानते हुए अटल इंक्यूबेशन मिशन शुरू किया है, जिसमें स्टार्ट-अप टैक्स विघटन के साथ प्रदान किए गए हैं, और यूनिवर्सिटी और निजी कंपनियों ने इनक्यूबेटर की मेजबानी / चलाने के लिए प्रोत्साहन की पेशकश की है। इन स्टार्ट-अप की मांगों को पूरा करने के लिए, इनक्यूबेटर सेंटर की कल्पना नई दिल्ली के द्वारका क्षेत्र में स्थित है, दो प्रसिद्ध तकनीकी विश्वविद्यालयों के आसपास और दिल्ली एमआरटीएस ऐसी जगहों के लिए, तत्काल आस-पास के भीतर अपने उपयोगकर्ताओं की सभी आवश्यकताओं को सुव्यवस्थित करना महत्वपूर्ण हो जाता है, और इस प्रकार एक क्षेत्रीय कार्यक्रम तैयार किया जाना चाहिए जिसमें सेवा अपार्टमेंट, अनुभव केंद्र, प्रदर्शनी हॉल और ऑडिटोरियम शामिल हैं। प्रौद्योगिकी में तेजी से बदलाव के साथ, 21 वीं सदी की वास्तुकला को एक लचीला और पुनर्परिवर्तनीय एक होना चाहिए, स्थानिक और तकनीकी रूप से। निम्नलिखित योजनाएं और प्रक्रियाएं सहयोगात्मक रिक्त स्थान को विकसित करने का एक प्रयास हैं, जो एक ढांचागत घटक के रूप में वर्णित हैं, और इस तरह से बदलती जरूरतों के लिए पुन: करने योग्य हैं यह रिपोर्ट निर्धारक, प्रक्रियाओं और योजना और वास्तुकला, नई दिल्ली के आर्किटेक्चर में अंडर ग्रेजुएट प्रोग्राम के अंतिम थीसिस सेमेस्टर के नतीजे के विकास को रिकॉर्ड करने का एक प्रयास है।

Design & Technology Incubator - Thesis 2017


OBJECTIVES Designing a creative & simulating environment for an Incubator that promote and accelerates possibilities of new collaborative opportunities with spaces that can be reconfigured to meet mutable technological and spatial demands.

DISCOURSE

Research & Development (R&D) form an integral part of the economy and the technological culture of the country. As the world progresses towards the tertiary sector of the economy, increasingly complex and trans-disciplinary ideas emerge, one that Individuals with one or two field of profession may not resolve standing alone. Collaborating together to provide products and services with experts from multiple domains have resulted in reasonable success in the present times and is still the promising mode of growth. Typically, an Incubation center differ from this R&D in the sense that it attempts to utilize existing and tested technology in a meaningful and efficient combination. Furthermore, the Internet age has fueled a do-it-yourself (DIY) movement where individuals, vexed and exhausted with terrible design and industrially standardized goods, take upon themselves to produce customized product and service equipment. A consumer may have access to products such as 3D printers and CNC machines, but he/she still lack exposure and resources. This is only possible with interdisciplinary spaces as envisioned by the Start-Up India mission. The Start-up India Movement, an investment of ` 1200 crore, can be seen to generate new growth in employment within the markets, both saturated and unsaturated, moving people from primary & secondary sector to the tertiary.

Areas of Research

The following subjects and topics were deemed important to achieve a high-performing and successful model for Incubators in India:

1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  7.  8.

What are appropriate systems of functioning for Research Laboratories. What are the quality of spaces that stimulating the intellect towards scientific discovery. How can spatial arrangement Facilitating gaps between makers and managers. How can we achieve Distillation and Compartmentalization of Public and Production spaces. What are the quality of said Expandable & reconfigurable spaces that are easily adaptable to new technological condition. What is an Appropriate Solution to the problem of Reconfigurability - Infrastructural vs Industrial. How are “Integration of Services” achieved within the structure. How can collaborative spaces work without being intrusive ?

HYPOTHESIS

To make collaborative spaces, one must ensure visual and physical access to relatively collaborative components of the incubator. The spaces should harbor specialist of all kinds that can work independently and still be accessible to consultation easily. And to generate this kind of environment, the architect would be a facilitator of trans-disciplinary working and incubate such ideas into meaningful and manageable business enterprises.

INCUBATORS

The Incubator’s Services

What is an Incubator ?

A incubator in business speak is a company that helps new and startup companies to develop. It basic mode of this empowerment, is by providing services such as management training and/or office space. Business incubators differ from research and technology parks in their dedication exclusively to startups and early-stage companies. Research and technology parks, on the other hand, tend to be large-scale projects that house everything from corporate, government or university labs to very small companies while Science Parks support innovation on a university campus.

Typical Institutional Model for Incubator 1.  2.  3.  4.  5.

Since startup companies lack many resources, experience and networks, incubators provide services which helps them get through initial hurdles in starting up a business. These hurdles include space, funding, legal, accounting, computer services and other prerequisites to running the business. On average, incubator clients spend 33 months2 in a program* while many incubation programs set graduation requirements by development benchmarks, such as company revenues or staffing levels, rather than time.

GOVERNMENTAL MISSIONS Technology Incubation and Development of Entrepreneurs

Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DEITY) is implementing a scheme titled Technology Incubation and Development of Entrepreneurs (TIDE)1. Initially launched in 2008 the scheme has been revised and extended till March 2017. As per the scheme provision, 27 centers are being supported at academic institutions across India. TIDE has a multi-pronged approach in diverse areas of Electronics, ICT and Management. It aims to assist institutions of higher learning to strengthen their Technology Incubation Centers and enable young entrepreneurs to initiate technology startup companies for commercial exploitation of technologies developed by them. TIDE Incubation Centers provide a gamut of services to new enterprises and facilitate linkages congenial for their survival and growth. The centers network with Angel Investors and Venture Capitalists who provide mentoring and financial support to the startups and enable tenant companies to mature over a period of 2-3 years and ultimately graduate to a commercial place to transact actual business. DEITY is providing financial and policy support for strengthening technology incubation activities on the premise that this would in the long run result in indigenous development of products and packages in the ICTE sector. Broad Objectives • Promote product oriented research and development • Encourage and accelerate development of indigenous products and packages • Bridge the gap between R&D and commercialization • Facilitate entrepreneurial training and IPR facilitation • Promote involvement of faculty in startup activities • Ensure interaction between education and industry • Alignment of education with exact market demands • Active involvement of the faculty in the technology start-up activities

Start-up India Movement

The Central Government is facilitating the construction and operation up of such spaces by awarding institutions and Private Players tax breaks and finance. The startups, once qualified and notified by the government are also benefiting from tax breaks to facilitate its self-independence. In the larger picture, the [1]government shall be fulfilling the creation of millions of new jobs, and export + consumption of high-value product which is expected to strenghten the economy, as evident form the success of start-ups in developed and high-developing economies. These Ordinances have been notified ans schemed under the ‘Atal Innovation Mission’ by the government of India and is expected to invest ` 1200 crore in this development scheme. Since the typology of research laboratories is itself a new one, emerged only less than a century ago, the [2] country is in need of such dedicated spaces. Flexibility and Adaptability of such spaces are important since technology, and thus physical machinery are changing every few years.

FRAMEWORK FOR RESEARCH

Certain questions were to be pertinently answered before proceeding with the design phase. Such question that guided this research are as follows:

1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  7.

What is an Incubator ? How do they function ? Who are the users ? What is the purpose of researching incubators per se? What is the Historical Evolution and Precedents that inform the formation of such spaces ? Where should such facilities be established? What function works best with this kind of facility ?

The Evolution of Business Incubators The creation of Companies and Business and Product Market usually arises as a result of social, economic and technological crisis. It is widely considered that the idea of creating new companies as a favourable way of promoting the conditions of the country arose in Britain in the 1970’s during the steel crisis by converting abandoned industrial buildings into the first European Incubators. The British example was taken as precedent and followed into France, Belgium, and Spain.1 By the 1990’s, business incubators started to appear linked to universities which were targeted at students leaving university.1 As for the definition and character of incubators, the European Commission2 proposed a definition by consensus to its function :

“A business incubator is an organization that accelerates and systematizes the process of creating successful enterprises by providing a comprehensive and integrated range of support, including incubator space, business support services, and networking and clustering opportunities. By providing their clients with services on a “one-stop-shop” basis and enabling overheads to be reduced by sharing costs, business incubators significantly improve the survival and growth prospects of new startups. A successful business incubator will generate a steady flow of new businesses, with above average job and wealth creation potential. Differences in stakeholder objectives, admission and exit criteria, the knowledge intensity of projects and the precise configurations of facilities and services exist and will distinguish one type of business incubator from another.”

The proliferation and development of technologies has led to the emergence of a new model of nomadic, flexible professional who relies on his ubiquitous laptop and Internet connection. Most professionals, thus, work from their home and thus save on their infrastructural expenses. Coworking is a new kind of workspace first created in San Francisco3 in 2005 for micro companies and entrepreneurs. Thus multiple professional share an area designed for individual work, but in the community. Working spaces are thus reserved on advance but flexible working hours or rented for up to 6 months at a stretch. These facilities are called coworking spaces.

What is the vision of this document?

It is a simple belief that one of the ways to contribute to the economic development is by offering useful tools and guide of strategic nature which should improve the creation and functioning of companies and the country in whole. This guide should provide support to companies and institutes that desire to provide infrastructure to support the local fabric. This system of incubators and startups adopt a bottom up approach whereby utilizing existing tools, they disrupt markets with meaningful combination of existing technology to deliver relate-able and use-able products and services. Finally, for architects who wish to come up with proposals may have a recommendation and useful guideline on Incubators, which are comparatively newer typology comprising of office and development centers that rely on collaborative working. By acting from the local market towards the countrywide launch, startups promote local development and have been supported by the central and state government via policy level provisions. Therefore, the thesis on which this project is based is that local initiative should generate maximum impact on the interwoven fabric of urban and economic and social space. This thesis attempts to evolve a design for an incubator that could include creation of communities that stimulate interaction, collaboration and teamwork among and withing the companies hosted in the incubators. This should enable companies to extend their portfolio of customers-by appearance of innovative and interdisciplinary projects. Therefore, flexibility of spaces, the facilities of working in and with a network, as well as existence of communal, shared spaces that are comfortable and pleasant becomes a fundamental factor in design of new incubators.

Historical Precedents In a study of laboratories carried out by Division of Architectural Studies of Nuffield Foundation, and published in the report title, “The Design of Research Laboratories”. It lays out the history of this new typology of The origins of the first Laboratories and the spaces henceforth dedicated and designed for them, sprung up in the Mediterranean Countries where the Demand for dyes, Imitation Pearls, and alloy that looked like gold and silver. In Egypt, Practical work was fostered by priests and the earliest laboratories were adjoining temples. Although there were active schools of practical method in the fourteenth and the fifteenth century, practical experimental work was left to alchemists, engrossed in their search for elixir of life or the philosopher’s stone. During this long period, before the advent of modern chemistry, there was little development in the design of buildings for practical experiments. One of the earliest examples of designed buildings for laboratories was University of Altdorf designed in the late baroque style. Ideas on laboratory design developed rapidly in first half of the nineteenth century,and in spite of extensive alteration, the royal institution, the only one failed to keep in pace of these ideas.1 1  The Design of Research Laboratories. 1961.

Design & Technology Incubator - Thesis 2017


The General Ideas for Planning of Building Services Oriented Spaces could be summarized as follows :

Planning & Structure 1.  Most research universities and institutes have grown enormously in the past 20 years, and there is very little indication that this growth has ceased. Therefore, the principle object in planning shall be to let growth take place without disruption. Similarly, the canteen and the library shall be planned in a manner that it does not become too far from the inhabitants of the potential extension building. For example in the Salk institute, no provision for extension is possible given that both ends have been exhaust from functions. Compact arrangement of serviced roads will result in an economical overall building cost. Estimate, 10sqm/worker may be necessary for these spaces. 2.  Serviced Laboratory space is expensive and must therefore be used intensively, and it follows if large areas of serviced spaces are given to office use, it cannot be economical in terms of building cost. Thus thee main methods are utilized to resolve this dilemma of provision for office space. Firstly, offices opening directly off the laboratory usual occupied by staff working in library immediately adjacent to the lab. Secondly, Offices planned with laboratory block separately from the office spaces, opposite on the corridor. Thirdly, offices planned in different wing of the building (Bell Lab) which proves to be the most economic option. The offices can have a lower ceiling level, with cheaper finishes and do not require complex servicing. 3.  Office accommodation may be provided in a separate wing, the office wind being based on different dimensional module, thus avoiding the use of extensive serviced laboratories case 4.  It is an accepted practice to plan on the basis of a dimensional module related to the space needed for individual worker or team of known size with modules varying 10ft to 13 ft, depending on the space allowed between benches 4-7ft. The clear bench run needed for work and the length of served wall space to accommodate standing equipment, fume cupboard etc determines room depths, as all services run to the benches are perpendicular to the outside wall. Sub-mains are placed at each grid point. In rooms of such dimensions, it may become uneconomical to service benches under the windows. Also, benches on these placed interferes with the heating system. The structural grid is without exception determined by the bench spacing, and service distribution to the benches is along the grid lines. 5.  Most of the laboratories faced north east in order to avoid sunlight penetration. Offices of less depth 9ft 5in are placed opposite research rooms, though some desk space is provided in the laboratories. 6.  In recent laboratories, there are two main trends in design, both of which reflects the need for adaptable buildings. First, there is a trend towards open-services floor areas which can be divided up with demountable partitions, the aim being to give each scientist a serviced area which may be divided up to provide any combination of rooms as and Vikram Bengani , School of Planning & Architecture

when required. Secondly, there is a trend in towards simplified and functional arrangement of benches in the long, unimpeded lengths, spaced and arranged in such a way as to rationalize bench servicing. The laboratories for imperial chemical industries/plastics division went a great deal further in providing overall flexibility by means of demountable partitions. The building is planned at 4ft grid and partitions can be pit up anywhere on the 4ft grid whilst services are available at most grid points from floor ducts carried in deep floor constructed lattice beams. The depth of the building is such that many rooms are internal and rely on artificial lighting and ventilation. Overall planning was based on a structural module derived from an assessment of the space needed by each individual workers i.e. bench length, bench width and clearances between the benches. Laboratory benches were placed at right angles to the window wall for the ease of servicing and access from a longitudinal corridor. Straight unimpeded runs of benches were provided for each workers. Attention was given to the problem of lighting from lighting rooms greater in depth from window wall to corridor wall. The rapid development of scientific techniques in the last 50 years has emphasized a need for research buildings which can quickly and easily be adapted to meet special demands as they arise. Moreover, there is a changing pattern of research organization, even within small quantity establishments. Another Building designed around rationalized bench system and service layout is the Courtauld’s Acetate and Synthetic Fiber Laboratories at Coventry. The Lab is designed on a Grid of 11ft9in by 28 ft and multiples of this basic unit are used to give rooms basic sizes. Main service run vertically in ducts placed at each grid points along the corridor wall. Office are provided in separate wing, but a minimum of office space is allowed in the main laboratory, opening directly off the laboratories The laboratories for Bell Telephone company is based on the assessment of the space needed for a two man team. This result in approximately 20ft deep by 12ft wide. Some larger laboratories provide island benches for routine work. The 20ft deep rooms are placed on one side of the main corridor, the 25ft deep on the other side, making a laboratory block 50 ft deep. Vertical shafts are placed at 6ft centers on the outside walls. Horizontal branches under the window link run each bench run to the vertical sub-mains. Island benches are serviced by means of short floor ducts under the floor. Serviced branch are at right angle to the outside walls and the clearance between the benches bing 5ft to 7ft. according to the furniture used. Moving tables, 5x2ft., placed against the service wall or spine are used instead of fixed benching. Electrical Switches are provided at an interval of at least 2 ft. and are carried in PVC covered wire with fire retardant coating on it. The life of a laboratory building outlasts their occupation by any individual scientist and far outlast individual piece of work on which man has engaged, Efficient design must

therefore aim at providing the sort of building that will satisfy the range of scientific activity and workers over time. The floor area needed in the laboratory for individual worker is defined by two dimensions - Length is the total length of benching, sink, fume cupboard,etc which needs for his work. Width is established by the width of the benching plus clear floor space needed. 10-12 ft usually the maximum average of length required for two workers. Anthrompometrically, Two workers working back to back require 4ft 7 in, while, two workers back to back with passage space in between is 5ft 5 in - 6ft 3in. Height of benches 2-10 to 3-0. The room height affects Lighting, Ventilation, working convenience and building cost. Laboratories require Ancillary Storage - Instrument Room, Cold Room, Storage, Laboratories, Cleaner’s Store, Dark Room, Climate Control Room

Technology, Systems & Comfort 20.  All services are carried above the false ceiling and piped overhead to the benches. Alternatively All services are carried at high level, completely exposed and dropped to bench position when needed. The partitions also have systems to fix shelves and cupboard in a manner that it can be taken down from easily to be relocated. 21.  Special rooms are planned such as constant temperature rooms, instrument rooms, etc. are planned internally and have no natural lighting. 22.  Good thermal insulation is necessary for controlled environment and is made easy by removing the room from the affect of fluctuation in outside temperature. 23.  Floor Heating and cleaning - for most times, it is necessary to cover the whole floor area with heating elements in order to achieve the necessary room temperatures without raising the surface temperature to an unacceptable degree. For most laboratories, most floor area is covered with furniture and equipments and the proportion of area left open is less than half. To achieve an adequate room temperature, therefore, with a reduced surface area of heating, a high surface temperature was required. This would achieve uncomfortable standing and laking condition. 24.  Ceiling heating is thus preferable. While the ceiling does not restrict planning changes, it my complicate the laboratory service to a high degree. In the laboratory at The Atomic Energy Research establishment in Denmark, the ceiling is made of perforated panels and the space between is used as a pressurized duct for warm air which is pushed through the perforations is the room below. 25.  Illumination level per square feet as per IES code for laboratory recommends 20 lumen/ft2 for general rooms and unto 50 lumen /ft2 for special fine purposed & crafting spaces.. 26.  Noise reduction at source is the most inexpensive strategy for noise control and is often neglected. Noise in building is usually made up of many minor noises and can be eliminated with good choices of material and equipment. Usually these are, talking, doorVikram Bengani , School of Planning & Architecture

steps, door bangs and these are easy to deal with resilient floor finishes and silent door closure. Noise can be transmuted via structure, from the facade, or from within the room due to talking or equipment or service running. Employ wheeled equipment such as trolley, wheeled cupboard etc should have resilient tyres. Wash up areas can be designed with noise reduction in mind. Chairs and stools cause much noise in these spaces as well. Typing may also be regarded as a noise sources if mechanical keyboards are employed. Electrical fans with rotating blades are amount to noises that is directly proportional to speed (rpm) of running fans. Larger fans with slower speeds and bigger blades are much better than these, Doubling the rpm gives a speed increase of about 17db Compressors are usually used in laboratories and it is best to isolate them from their surroundings than to adopt any other active systems. Reduction in Vibrations. Interference from vibrations should be dealt with at the planning stage for laboratories Planning against vibration - Road and vehicular traffic of heavy sizes should be isolated from the site by means of treatment of the foundation. Within the building, heavy plants such as gas or diesel generator or heavy duty compressor should be sited with their potential nuisance value in mind. To reduce the vibration at the source, anti-vibration mountings for machinery should be utilized for machinery that is to utilize in vicinity of laboratory. Correct natural frequency should be adopted for the mounting to counterbalance the equipments frequency. For example, a machine running at 3000 rpm is likely to be at a frequency of 50 cycles per second, and to isolate this satisfactorily, a mounting frequency of 10 cycles per second may be sufficient. It may be assumed that the frequency produced by traffic may be at 15cps. Very low frequency vibrations are more difficult to suppress due to the greater static deflection is required in the mounting system. To achieve a mounting frequency of 2cps, a static deflection of 2.5 in is necessary while for 10cps, it is only 0.1in For very heavy machinery, a foundation block may be needed which rests on a anti vibration mat. Spring mounted floor slabs may be utilized to protect limited areas from vibrations Fire load is calculated in BTU/sqft or KJ/sqm. Low fire load - 200000BTU/sqft, Moderate @ 400000BTU/sqft, High @ 800000 BTU/sqft

accessibility of transportation, with regard to both private and public system as well as the availability of parking on the location is necessary for the center. Visibility & Brand Identity A strong and defined brand image of the center can play in favor of hosted companies and their success would confer prestige on the incubator. Therefore, it is advisable to place the center where visibility are high, such as Highways or communication junction such that it may reinforce the visibility and presence of the building. Perhaps, a public space join the tenet, open to all, may provide the dynamics to the center, improving its image and recognizability. Adaptability & Expandability Envisage extra land for extension building in the future. Similar when choosing interiors furniture, ensure a neutral type. Advantages of refurnished modules are that it reduced the initial investment from the company and makes the incubator a plug and play space, it standardizes a space and helps to shape corporate image, and it works within the modular space so that it may be expanded or contracted as and when required. However, standard furniture does not always adapt to the requirements of the incubator. This also leaves little room for customization. Thus, there are intermediate solutions such as furnishing 50% of the modules to be rented out

BRAND VALUE Fig 22 :  An Incubator is necessarily not required to be iconic, but it is important to design the experience of the building, spatial and visual, as impressionable. This also enforces the brand of the incubator and hence the companies being incubated inside.

T-Hub Incubator, Hyderabad is a pilot project of Architecture in the nation designed for the purpose of an Incubation Center. The building features extended mezzanines over a central atrium that results in acutely interesting massing and open workstation configuration. Sustainability strategies are well adopted and a large variety of texture and colors in material are included to create enthusiastic and refreshing environments. Salk Institute, San Diego is considered one of the first in the typology of research centers- a relatively new typology made possible with technological and scientific advancements - and one of the most important buildings of the twentieth century. This project is a specimen in compartmentalization and distillation of function in Architecture whose purpose are to either be served or be servants. Architecture of this project is intended to provide a stimulating environment for the brains to facilitate advancements in science. Yale Art + Architecture Building, New Haven is one of the first buildings designed for architectural institutes. The designer explored the possibility of collaborative and overlooking spaces, in all three geometrical axes. MIT Media Labs Extension Building is one of the most recent additions to the MIT campus. The designer argued that flexibility and adaptability of newer functions can not easily be adopted in reconfigurability and suited spaces. He treated the building as “infrastructure” which became key to a transparent and stimulating environment for the researchers. Vikram Bengani , School of Planning & Architecture

"Rudolph has been criticized for the serious functional shortcomings of the building: that he put the areas he cared least about in the basement; that the painters are very disturbed by south light; that the sculptors are in the low-ceiling 'caves'; that the best spaces are reserved for architectural activity. Functionally, Rudolph's building is a studied, politically architectural statement. Architecturally, it tends to extened beyond its own urban context. It cleverly establishes a general urban scale and a particular internal scale, both compatibly and expressively related.“ - Paul Heyer, Architects on Architecture: New Directions in America. p300-301.

Restrained use of lively colours— mainly orange—and cleverly built-in furnishings enhance the architecture, which is intended 'to excite and challenge the occupants,' says Rudolph

The orange works remarkably well in softening the Brutalist architecture and in reinforcing the importance of these spaces of presentation

The A&A’s notorious lack of climate control, or even airflow, has been tackled with modern mechanical systems, largely housed in the addition, and thermally efficient windows. Historically accurate but inefficient elements, such as oversized glazing or low-insulating concrete walls, were offset by innovations in low-e insulating glass units, high-efficiency HVAC systems and controls, daylighting and occupancy sensors, air handling, storm-water management, non-potable water reuse systems were deployed.

Air-handling units in the lecture hall and classrooms are equipped with enthalpy heat exchangers, which salvage energy from returned building air and transfer it to incoming fresh air. To respond dynamically to building usage, Aircuity, an air-quality system, monitors carbon dioxide levels and reduces ventilation rates when rooms are unoccupied.

To support the local economy, the project team utilized local labor and materials wherever possible. The original building did not employ any sprinklers. Fire sprinklers with exposed pipes and sprinkler heads were added over the last 20 years, contributing to the overall run-down look of the building. As part of the 2008 work, a new sprinkler system, which employed wall sprinklers to create fire separations between spaces, was added. With care- fully selected, discreet locations for Vikram Bengani , School of Planning & Architecture the piping, the system brought the building into full compatibility with current fire codes.

Intent

Salk had sought to make a beautiful campus in order to draw the best researchers in the world. Today, the Institute employs 850 researchers in 60 research groups in the subjects of molecular biology + genetics, neurosciences and plant biology.

To create a collaboration fostering building with ability to creatively stimulate students and faculty alike.

Together with External Weisner Building by I.M. Pei, the complex as intended to serve as a showplace for new concepts in design, communication systems and collaborative research.

To create a fresh, contemporary structure that facilitates collaborative workings and results in creative production of innovative goods and services

To make an intentful and configurable space for start-ups that facilitates collaborative & multi-disciplinary working.

The goal was to ignite a new energy and connectivity within the two building complex.

The T-Hub is the one of the first buildings that has been constructed with the intent of the function in the country.

Fast pace technological developing requires flexibility inherent in the design. As such, the scheme should be easily readopted as and when required. Brutalism as a style has inherent flaws, specifically for seeming too blunt and overpowering. But when architecture is treated as infrastructure, only then can spaces be flexible and adaptable to mutable technological and spatial needs.

In 2004, the Times Higher Education Supplement ranked Salk as the world’s top biomedicine research institute, and in 2009 it was ranked number one globally by ScienceWatch in the neuroscience and behavior areas

Belief/Style

Relevant Area of Research for the Designer

Urban Context, Neighbourhood, Precinct, Land-use

The architects envisioned the building as a teaching tool

Kahn progressed from the International Style with the believe that buildings should be monumental and spiritually inspiring.

One of the Earliest example of Brutalism in America, Rudolph wanted an imposing and inspiring piece of architecture where spaces were interactive.

Architecture is seen as a living organism with the goal to make everyone’s work visible to everyone else. For all of his restrained modernist sensibility, Maki uses a Palladian idea for the arrangement of the building’s elements.

Contemporary, Expressionistic

The complex blend of Brutalism and International Style. The vision included a functional institutional building with an inspiring environment for scientific research.

The architect used fragments of history such as Assyrian Reliefs, Parthenoen Friezes, modular measures of Corbusier and original Louis Sullivan gates as a sample for students of art.

“It is a tripartite composition,” explains Maki. “The base is composed of the main entrance and its fairly low ceiling exhibition spaces, the upper and lower atria form the piano mobile, and the public spaces on the roof are the crown.”

Extensive use of color over industrial produced materials to bring enthusiastic undertones to the aura of space

Kahn studied monasteries in order to build his concept of an “intellectual retreat”.He resolves this with distillation and compartmentalization of functional

Appraisal

The surrounding land-use is majority institutional with colleges and research institutes and certain buildings alloted as parking structures.

Urban Context and tight development pressure resulted in formation of a cube like building, on the cross section of Amherst rd. and Ames st.

A strong urban campus, like Yale building, T-Hub and MIT Media Lab are all over 90% in ground coverage. Only Salk Institute corresponds to the given project’s situation.

Symmetrical plan, two structures mirroring each other, separated by an open plaza.

Fortress -like building that juxtaposes masses of bush-hammered concrete with layers of steel framed glazing

The Cube, initially designed to be an experimentation space, consists of a spacious open plan, surrounded by small cubicles along its double-height periphery, accessed by colorful staircases and balconies and finally covered by a walkable mesh roof.

Cuboid + Voided Atrium

Usually, a cuboid volume has been seen in all case examples, exceptions may arise when one looks at Jockey Club Innovation Tower, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University by Zaha Hadid Architects.

Buildings are segregated and arranged in a distilled fashion according to their function

A series of towers protrude over the roof in a series of turrets are also the structural piers.

7 Labs of size 500 - 850sqm, 8 conference rooms on lower 5 floor, large conference on 6th storey, social spaces as the upper atrium with fifth floor cafe and small coffee shops on the third and the fourth floor, with generous circulation

The floor planes recede as we move vertically upwards from the atrium, this creates overlooking spaces where even the furthermost spaces from the public atrium

A cuboid results in most efficient functioning and reduced AC loads, but daylighting is significantly reduced.

With the expanse of the site, the built is also distributed thoroughly.

Intersecting masses of vertical turrets and horizontal slabs

The Building seems like an exercise in transparency. The Media Lab has long been famous for hiding itself in a building by I.M. Pei that was a nearly windowless box. The new building, which joins the Pei at one edge, is exactly the opposite.

35m by 25m, with a atrium that varies from 15 m to 7m in its nominal width

Orientation

The built is oriented on its west-east axis, with courtyard like formations between them which witnesses the sunset on the banks of the sea.

The building is oriented according the urban fabric and the site conditions that is strongly dictated by the network of roads.

The building is oriented according to the site, with its major axis on 30 degrees east of north

The building sits in a strong urban context and thus is not oriented according to the cardinal direction but the site conditions.

In urban settings, the geometrical and landforms axis dominates and forms the geometry. In the case of Salk, the Context and views were the primary determinant of orientation.

Accessibility, Precinct, Neighborhood, City Level, Transit Connectivity

The site is accessible by Vehicles and Transit Bus. For the city, the place is a university/ research/campus area.

The site is accessible from pedestrian, vehicular and Transit Bus services

The site is accessible via all major transportation system in the city.

The site is accessible from pedestrian routes, vehicular and Transit Bus services

The site should be accessible by all means of transport including the informally organized and under-represented class.

Geometry, Mass, Volume, Figure Ground

Transit Bus system, Road Network and Bicycle friendly access paths and Pedestrian streets are the available options.

39 Level that were distributed throughout the 6 floors of the buildings were reduced and removed to incorporate universal access and fire safety in design.

The two major masses are connected by the central plaza while services through the periphery roads, where the utility and systems units are also located.

Appraisal

The architects designed the circulation to facilitate contact among researchers. The building actually includes two atria: a lower public atrium, and an upper atrium around which the labs are arrayed. Stairs bridging the atria are painted bright red, blue, and yellow — a Mondrianesque touch highlighting that connectivity, and creating a lively visual contrast to the building’s predominantly white and gray palette.

The site is connected with other institutional building in the vicinity by pedestrian pathways

Usually, the cases studies have not been responding appropriately to existing urban level infrastructure and surrounding site. They are inward looking with no apparent connection to the surrounding land-use. This may be a functional consideration.

Seven labs face one another across a central atrium in a staggered configuration; that is, the first level of one lab is at the second level of an adjacent lab. The labs are of various sizes ranging from 5,000 - 8,500 square feet.

The design is intended to be a plug in style with the existing

Social spaces: The upper atrium (see below), a fifth-floor café, small coffee areas on the third and fourth floors. The lower atrium is flanked by entry exhibition spaces. “Atrium: The atrium is in two parts An outer, or street, atrium rising four floors from street level, flanked by exhibition spaces that appear to be part of the atrium. An inner atrium that is a social/exhibition space for building inhabitants, rising two floors at the third and fourth floors, reached by a spectacular staircase rising from the outer atrium below”

Landscaping + Open Space Components

Materiality + Facade Strategy

The terrace of the building has been turned into a small cafe and planted with shrubs and grasses

Landscaping will be an important determinant in experiential understanding of Architecture since the ground coverage permissible is low.

No open space within the built in this urban campus

Only the accessible greens adjunct to the building within the campus limits are present.

Due to high Ground Coverage, Landscaping has been included inside the building.

Reinforced Concrete textured with Bush hammering, Steel framed Glazing

A wide range of material of natural, synthetic and emulated natural quality is used extensively throughout the buildings.

Concrete is certainly favourite among the case example of earlier style. Contemporary structures of same functional system.

Not a single element of greenery is added within the precinct of the buildings, the only natural element that one is directed towards is the Ocean.

No landscaping specifically into on the site, the ground is primarily covered with built. However, a common courtyard/plaza between three adjacent blocks does exist, shared between the Muds building and the MIT Medical Center

The Yale Building was easily extended and integrated into the existing one. So was the MIT Media Lab. This was but jointed on one side of the buildings. It is safe to say that this project might need expanding as well. However, the setback norm would prove hindering to the expansion of the built.

Appraisal

The brutal depiction of concrete is counter-balanced with natural teak finishes on the window and the shades to create a harmony of natural and synthetic. The finish of the concrete also contributes in maintaining the natural finish to otherwise man made material.

In the Extension building, sober colors of zinc panels and limestone cladding is adopted to balance the bush hammered concrete of the original building.

Aluminum Screen area utilized as shading devices to adhere to building code of 50% glass facade

Reviews of the buildings have been generally good , and the colorfulness have not been seen as an eye sore. This has been achieved by using careful lighting temperature and adjacent colors.

Earthen and natural materials like wood and natural stone have been considered to be important towards facilitating a creative environment.

The Teak finish is left exposed to the sun with no synthetic or anti-aging protective coating, which has aged appropriately balancing the concrete that also has aged with time.

Carpets of orange colors are used to balance the greyness of concrete

The road facing facades are finished in ACP , Glass and Aluminum

Concrete was poured in-situ using the techniques used in Roman Architecture with volcanic ash. Once the concrete was set, no further finishing was allowed in order to attain a pinkish and warm glow in concrete left with exposed joints and form-work markings,

Occasionally, Timber is used to compliment the orange and Grey combination

The inside of the buildings are covered in soft materials, on the undertones of white. Usually carpet Interiors are employed as a sound reduction strategy.

Cast in-Situ Reinforced Concrete with coloring admixtures

Reinforced Concrete

“Reinforced Concrete Raft Foundation + Substructure MS Framing with rectangular sections as Compression and Tension members of the Superstructure.”

Inside the laboratories, the ducts and vents are reinforced by concrete Vierendeel trusses supported by post-tensioned columns

Massive hollow piers the support service inside them and the load on themselves

Deck sheeting as structural slab, this results in easier conduit. A screed is laid over for further floor finishes

Steel framed Glazing

Steel Trusses form the Large spanning element for the Auditorium at the lower floor.

Mechanical spaces were hidden in the building separating the “served” from the “servant” spaces, as Kahn refereed to them

the building is mechanically lighted and ventilated as the bulky volume cannot be naturally appropriated.

Heat gain is further reduced by the high performance, two layer, argon-filled insulated glazing with low-e coatings and a 50percent ceramic frit in a microdot pattern

The building is Air-Conditioned and utilizes the chiller based system with individual FCU for each office/ lab space

Radiant Cooling system would not work unless humidity is under control and the temperature is

A solar PV System has been retrofitted on the roof of all the buildings without any visual confrontation to the pristine setting and architecture

The plants are located on the second basement and acoustically sealed from the habitable places.

a solar PV system is attached on the terrace floor on an inclined plane

The atrium of the the building behaves as a light well, evenly distributing the structure

Locating the Plant Rooms in the lowermost basement is risky, given the water table & flooding potential.

The Open Plaza is made of travertine marble and a single strip of water runs down the center, linking all the buildings to the pacific ocean, formally establishing an axis towards the vast scale of ocean.

Reinforced concrete with plastered and paneled finishes

Clearly, a raft foundation would be necessary for the basement services and parking areas. for the superstructure, service integration with structure would be a neccesary component and thus, perhaps, deck sheeting may be suitable.

Appraisal

All service pipelines are exposed and celebrated with Graphics and graphic design elements. This has been possible due to the central air-conditioning system.

A Solar PV System with Direct DC Lighting would prove efficient .

The buildings are six stories tall with the first three containing laboratories and the last three with utilities

A public cafe sits on-the ground floor of the extension building

The big, wide open space with offices surrounding it on the ground and mezzanine levels, the Cube has proved to be a perfect space for working collaboratively.

The meeting rooms and collaborative spaces usually open up to the atrium.

The spaces are connected with protruding tower that contains spaces for individual studies linked with bridges

In the section, the building changes 37 levels to accommodate functions and circulation in an inter exchanged overlooking manner.

Accordingly, Maki designed most of the labs in the new building to occupy two floors and surrounded them with offices.

The circulation overlooks the atrium in the middle and is generally more private to an office.

Originally the design also included living quarters and a conference building, but they were never actually built.

A penthouse apartments on the terrace for guest critics

It is organized around a central atrium that connects public spaces on the ground and upper floors forming a kind of vertical street

East end of the building are reserved for support systems such as heating, ventilation systems while the west end towers face the pacific ocean

The service cores are distributed at the periphery of the building and are accompanied by one of the turrets that also carry the service pipes

The faculty and grad-student offices occupy a mezzanine level, connected to an open research area by a spiral staircase. Each mezzanine is also accessible by elevator.

The laboratories were intent-fully separated from Individual study spaces, establishing them as different activities.

Mechanical and workshops are located in the basement along with the main auditorium

A series of interlocking two-story spaces facilitate what I call ‘diagonal thinking.’ - says Andy Lippmann. One could stand in the atrium and see through glass into each one of the labs and observe what everybody is doing at any given time. The open and non hierarchical nature of the space is both efficient and rooted in the Media Lab’s history

The idea of simple and strong; the served space of laboratories where research is performed, the serving space of offices where thought initiates

While the student and faculty rooms feature on the above floors

“...only 53% of the space is assignable the rest, nearly half of the building, is designated as shared space”

The strip of water enhances the symmetry intended in the plan and creates a sense of monumentality in the otherwise bare open plaza

Internally, the building is organized around a central core space defined by four large concrete slab columns

From the central atrium, you can look into the labs of half a dozen different research teams. Labs are wide open: Senior offices wrap around the top of a double-height shared space. They work like the ateliers of art schools, each with a master and a team of acolytes.

A central Atrium is the binding elements around which all working and served spaces are dedicated to. While the circulation patterns between the center.

the building is drawn on a regular rectangular with the south side fitting itself to the profile of the site line

Maki conceived the new Media Lab Complex as a synthesis of many interlocking cubes, resulting in a complex sectional configuration that would allow maximum transparency through a very important advantage, that of natural light and energy.

The service ducts also acts as a sign-age holder where undersides of pipes direct users towards various functions

The buildings are designed to promote collaboration by no walls separating laboratories on any floor

Mechanical services are based out in the basement

Around the central atrium, Circulation could alternate from outside to inside to create overlooking spaces.

Massive piers are overemphasized and balanced with the linearity of texture and the slab lines.

It is organized around a central atrium that connects public spaces on the ground and upper floors forming a kind of vertical street

a cafeteria is present and maintained within the compound

Each level overlooks the central atrium while narrow concrete walkways connect the spaces on either side of the well

Lighting Strategies

Appraisal

Within the central atrium is a stepped sitting area that doubles as a communal space.

Due to Zoning code, the first two stories had to be underground, sinking the laboratories in the courtyard. In order to receive sunlight, these spaces were served with light-wells 12 X 7.5 m in size

Warm lighting throughout the building falling and bouncing on orange carpets and Grey concrete

Steel Framed sheathed in a system of aluminum rods, likening to a traditional bamboo screen. acts as a protection to Sun radiation and Heat gain

Besides the artificial lighting that have drawn well curated to meet individual needs, the central atrium acts as a daylighting strategy for the inner segments of the building

Daylighting is an important factor in creating breathable and comforting spaces.

The overground laboratories are lit with large glass panes on their exterior wall.

Windows of extraordinary sizes open on the facade to allow daylight ot enter the building

The Building Code in Cambridge dictate no more than 50% glass on the facade. Thus a a scrim was evolved that reduces heat gain and offers reinterpretations of the views.

Windows are covered with appropriately designed louvers and overhanging shades carefully, to reduce glare and heat gain

Unlike most urban buildings studied, a spread out approach may be more suitable.

The lighting fixtures are designed to easily slide along a rail on the roof, in tune with collaborative and open philosophy of the Salk institute.

Mechanical lighting, mounted as spot lights on rails over the ceiling make up for interior visual comfort

“The lightness of their construction allows light, views, and breeze to pass through while providing shade and privacy�

Circulation are present on the periphery and are generally opening towards the lobby and the atrium

Around the central atrium, Circulation could alternate from outside to inside to create overlooking spaces.

The use of double facades and green walls are employed to counter excessive daylighting

Service & Circulation Cores

52

Circulation cores are placed disjunct from the built, serving the Study and the research spaces simultaneously.

The circulation cores are generally located with the piers and run along the service ducts.

SITE ANALYSIS

Site Selection CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF SITE

Delhi was chosen as the city for the project because the (A) abysmal condition of existing infrastructure and facilities for Incubators are abysmal, and (B) the demand for such facilities are immense given the promotion of the Startup India Movement by the GoI, and (C) the city, its institution and the citizens are ready to Innovate and incubate new ideas, contributing to the development of the tertiary sector of the economy. The NCR region is well populated with diversity of professionals and experts, and is the geographical center to many education and research institution. Along-with these components that are necessary for incubator infrastructure, it is also a commercial center, i.e. a sector hungry for successful products and services. Sites were shortlisted in Okhla Phase II , Rama Road and Dwarka region of Delhi/ NCR. After due deliberations. The site at Dwarka was chosen due to the following factors

01.  02.  03.  04.

Connectivity to the City with Metro and Bus Transit Services Availability of land resource at low cost, making rents more affordable Vicinity to existing Technical Institutions for higher education & research Basic Infrastructure in adequately functioning conditions.

The Dwarka region has been envisioned by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to be a self sustaining sub-city within the National Capital Region (NCR) of the Nation. The region is located on the South-West side of NCR and is in close vicinity to city of Gurugram (18 mins drive) and the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) (10 min drive/ transit). This strategic advantage to the region is exploitable to become a Business and Development Hub. Today, it is the largest residential suburb of Asia with a population of 1.1 million within the total area of 56.48 m2. This continuously densifying area currently averages 19,000 pph. To release the demand on roads for transportation of passengers and citizens from this region to the rest of the city, the region has 8 Metro stations, evenly paced through its east-west axis. A large passenger and freight interchange has been planned at sector 21 along with the existing metro station.

Due to its distance from the city center of Delhi, and transit connectivity through Metro lines and the low cost of land, the region has been predominantly alloted for Institutional Campuses, Educational Campuses and Residential Areas in the first phase. Commercialization and social infrastructure is envisioned in the second phase. The Master Plan vision attempts to make Dwarka into a ‘successful’, ‘self-sufficient’, and ‘sustainable’ city. The Master Plan has notified the Zone as an Urban Extension Project.

TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT

A pilot Dwarka Bicycle Sharing Project is planned for the sub-city which will attempt to being the percentage of Public Transit : Private Vehicle from 70:30 split to 80:20. These cycles are attempt for last mile connectivity within the region. The region is allowed extended FAR in TOD notified zones and TOD laws are applicable within the region.

Grain of the Settlement The Urban Fabric of the region is rough grained and unevenly textured with gated communities and large undeveloped plots sparsely distributed throughout. The Urban Permeability of the region is significantly low compared to the older settlements in the city. With the rising security concern among citizens, real-estate developers have been adopting gated communities as a security measure.

Wind Analysis Annual Distribution %

Summer Season Distribution % Natural Wind can be successfully employed as a passive cooling system if the catchments are designed appropriately. In the Summers, the major winds originate west of noth-west WNW, along with some counter-winds from ESE

Fig 82 :  Annual Average Wind Direction Distribution

Fig 80 :  Wind Direction Distribution for May

Fig 81 :  Wind Direction Distribution for June

Monsoon Season Distribution % During the monsoon, the humidity levels are higher and thermal comfort is achieved by ventilating the extra humidity generated by occupants. The WNW winds can be harnessed to passively ventilate the building’s non conditioned spaces. Fig 77 :  Wind Direction Distribution for July

Design & Technology Incubator - Thesis 2017


Scope of the Project The Site is jurisdiction in the Dwarka sub-city area of the NCR region, besides the existing 2 technical university and more planned to come. It is a site well connected via major transit systems of the city and is envisioned to be an important contributors to new business in the economy of Delhi and India. The following Components are planned into an integrated complex to promote and facilitate the incubation programme. Working Modules + Library + Computer Center Working Modules and allied services will provide the new business and development that may need to be incubated, modules of infrastructure to work and study on their project. It also envisions spaces for faculty/mentors that may provide necessary supports o these group of new business. Workshops The Workshops will serve two types of users. One is the existing business incubates in the building that require assistance in project development. The other function of the workshops are to acts as a maker’s space that can be rented hourly to DIY enthusiasts via a scheme of membership or subscriptions so that they may be empowered to evolve their specific projects rather than relying on economies of scale and large scale manufacturers to produce them. Due to the wide variety of workshops and equipments available, this space may also become a hub for students in technical courses who need the be instructed towards the right direction. Ultimately, it is envisioned that this system will become a model to further fuel the DIY Movement. Canteen Canteen will be provided so that the facility may become a self sufficient one and provide food at odd working hours that one usually witnesses in these centers. Auditorium/Experience/Banquet Shall be used for lecture, gathering, Product launches, Funding Meetings and display of newly in-house evolved technology. It hopes to be a successful incubator model meeting all requirements that current and potential startups may need. Residences Residences are provided in adjacent to the facility to ensure hassle free living system, so that the incubates may fully utilize the limited years of the programme that they may be awarded. This is to ensure that time, which is extremely valuable while setting up business ma not be wasted in traveling. The residences shall be provided at a nominal rate for the incubates and their family and development a live-work culture in the programme.

Vikram Bengani , School of Planning & Architecture

Programming Uses Functional and spatial characteristics of various units of the incubator are determined for optimum results. However, the description of the programme of a service development modules is different from a product development and industrial modules. However these two typology also share a great number of features and requirements, so it is appropriate to conflate them in the same facility. For the Modules, an ‘addable system’ is adopted taking basic unit of individual work module and operate with the rule of aggregation and growth.

1.  An individual module workspace is established. 2.  he surface area of workspaces are evolved and arrayed 3.  A modularity is established between the functions as a recombinational system. 4.  A degree of flexibility is introduced to these modules for adding and separating.

for Sunk Slabs, assume 250-300mm drop to incorporating Western WC. for Kitchen Areas, Assume 250-300mm drop in structural floor finishes.

RCC Beam Sizing:

Assume depth = 3 x breath depth (d) = Span/8 - Span/10 (simply supported Beams) depth (d) = Span/10 - span/10 (Continuous Beams)

Pratt Trusses / Vierendeel Girder

Pratt Trusses is a flat trusses and resolves all forces in tensions and compressions components, all joints are hinged in a Pratt Trusses. Unlike that, In Vierendeel Girder, all Joints are Fixed, thus forces are resolved in Tension, Compression and Bending Moments. Spanning : 20 m Thickness of slab: According to Design loads of respective systems Spacing of Diaphragms: 6-10m c/c Columns Spacing : 6-10m (as per girder/truss spacing)

RCC Columns Sizing: 1500 mm² for 1m² of floor area supported by columns Assuming 10m x 10m grid, for 8 floors, crosssectional area of column = 100 x 8 x 1500 = 1200000 mm² Therefore, side of column = 1095 mm x 1095 mm These calucations are with the assumption of LL = 2KN/m² & DL = 2KN/m² upto 10 floors, M25 mix is most economical.

For Drinking & Cooking Purpose, 7L/Pax/Day OHWT (Working Area) = 25000 L (550 Pax @ 45L/c/d) UGWT (Working Area) = OHWT (Residential) = 20250 L (150 Pax @ 135L/c/d) UGWT (Residential) =

Fire Tank Requirements

According to NBC 2005 Fire & Lift Safety Chapter:

For Institutional and Educational Building of Height + 30 m Static Underground Fire Tank = 1,50,00 0 L, Overhead Fire Tank = 20,000 L

For Residential Apartment Buildings of Height 35-45m Static Underground Fire Tank = 75,000 L, Overheat Fire Tank = 5,000 L

Parking Calculations

The site falls within the TOD Standard Zone, and as per TOD Laws, recommended car parking size is 1.33 ECS/100m² of built-up area. Thus, assuming with current Scheme of 25000 m² BUA, Total Car to be parked within the site shall be: 25000 x 1.33/100 = 333 Car Spaces 10% of this capacity will be on the surface For Motorcycles the standard is 0.25 ECS/100m². Therfore, : 25000*0.25/100=63 Motorcycle Spaces.

Solar PV System Calculations

Typically, a 12V DC system utilizing panels of Wp =110W panel. 1 kW generation requires 8 m2 of exposed area., while 4kW requires 28 m2. According to Indo-Swiss Building Energy Efficiency Project. A typical office building consumes 150kWh/m2/year. This translates to 50W/ m2. Therefore, assuming 50W /m² consumption, a 20,000 m2 office area would require 1000kw peak connected loads. Total sun exposed area required for PV system would be 1000/4*28m² = 7000m2.

Elevator Calculations

Variables deciding number, speed and size of elevators are as follows: 1. Peak Population to be Served 2. Passenger Waiting Time Assuming an office/Institutional Building, a waiting time of 20 sec is considered excellent, 40 sec as fair and over 45 seconds as unsatisfactory. For Apartments, this number could go up to 90 secs As a rule of thumb, provide at least one elevator for every 4500 m2 of usable area. In the case of the Scheme in progress. Adoption of Elevator with speed of 1.5 m/s is concluded in accordance with the Part 8, Section 5 of the NBC (2005)

Washroom Calculations

Considering the typology of the project and the end users in mind, a 50/50 ratio for Men/Women is taken into Account. Furthermore, wherever a washroom blocks are established, provisions for at least 1 differently-able toilets should be provided. As per NBC 2005, for Educational & Institutional Buildings, the following standards shall be adopted: Men

DG & HVAC System Air Conditioners function at 15% efficiency. Remaining 85% of energy is dissipated as heat and work. Usually 35-45 m2 of Floor area requires a Cooling capacity of 1 tonne of refrigerant in the climate of Delhi. 1 tonne of refrigeration = 12000 BTU/Hr. Approximately, this consumption equals 1KW/ Tonne. Maximum Theoretical Load is assumed on 21st May, 4PM Air Conditioning brings RH = 45 %- 65% from a normal of 75% - 85% which is the latent cooling capacity required. Corresponding to the Relative Humidity, the psychometric chart represents the adaptive comfort temperature. Generally, Thermal Comfort is achieved at 26° in Summers and 18°-21° in Winters. Recommended to provide Fresh Air @ 7.5-10 cft/minute/pax or Mix fresh air at 1:5 ratio of stale air. Velocity of Air at Contact = Max 0.25m/s or 15 m/min Chiller Based Systems are more efficient than VRF systems by 15% but require more maintenance and are expensive in capital cost. Thus until a capacity of 100 tonne, VRF systems are preferred. Chiller System are most economical at 100 - 400 Tonne Capacity. Over 400 Tonne, a central plant is usually the most economical in the long run. The compressor also produced noise levels of 45dB Chilled Water is provided at 7° C and returns at 12°C

Advantages of a Underfloor Cooling System - High level of comfort

- Preserves resources

Classic air conditioning systems Traditional air conditioning systems overcome the cooling loads that occur by changing the air, with the following negative effects: - Draughts

- Unrestricted interior design.

- High room air speeds

- Draughts do not occur - Low investment costs - Low annual costs

Thermal comfort The thermal comfort for one person in a room is determined by: - The person’s activity - The person’s clothes - Air temperature - Air speed - Air humidity - Surface temperatures. The heat output of the human body occurs via main three mechanisms: - Radiation - Evaporation - Convection. The human body experiences the greatest level of well being if it can regulate at least 50% of its heat output through radiation. With the REHAU underfloor cooling system the energy exchange between people and cooling surface occurs across large areas and predominantly through radiation and thus provides the optimum conditions for a comfortable room atmosphere.

For the purpose of air conditioning, it is recommended to have a system of Evaporative Cooling (EC) coupled with Variable Rate Flow (VRF) AC system. Since a Centralized system may prove expensive for a Housing project, this system will utilize least energy, while efficiently delivering the habitable level of air temperature. The VRF essentially eliminates duct losses, which are often estimated to be 10% to 20% of total airflow in a ducted system. As we all know, the evaporative cooler has been proven to be most efficient system of cooling air in dry climate like in New Delhi. Providing this evaporative cooler will also result in reduced peak load (May, June) of the VRF system and thus low energy consumption, lower amount of refrigerant used, consequently a more sustainable system. This composite system will also solve the problem of extreme dehumidification by the VRF system and extra humidification by the EC system. Some of the humid air extracted from the apartments and returned to the VRF coil unit will be dehumidified by sudden cooling and observe condensation. This cool water could then be sent to the EC unit where it is reutilised for the purpose of cooling. It could easily provide for fresh air intake from both the systems. The EC systems works only on the cooling through fresh air while the VRF system works on recirculation of indoor air & addition of fresh air. In the time of monsoon, the EC system could be shut down while the VRF system still operating. Mind you, the peak load in the month of July & August (monsoons) is not as much as May & June (summers). The Merits of VRF technology easily prove to be the winner in choosing of AC system. It is 30% - 40% more efficient than a multi-split AC system due to the DC-inverter-driven motor technology rather than switching the motor (running always at 100%) on & off all the time. The Initial cost of equipment and fittings will be 15% higher but at this efficiency, it could easily recover the cost in time of few years. Importantly the VRF system will be designed to provide 7.5cfm/person fresh air to the indoors which other systems fails to deliver. It will be a packaged unit consisting of a water cooled system, utilizing treated grey water as heat dump. The VRF system is highly flexible in providing the conditioning of air only in the zones required/occupied by the users. Indoor units function at a mere 23dB while the outdoor unit at 50dB. In japan, large commercial buildings (6500m2 or more) have been using this VRF system instead of the centralized system. It has proven to be efficient and time tested. A 3bhk of size 13mX8m times 100 apartment would be approximately 10,000m2, within the range of the VRF systems. Alternately 2 independent systems could be provided at 10th and 20th storey instead, also making the building more resilient. The cooling towers prove extremely beneficial for dumping heat as it results in evaporation of water instead of heating air directly, thereby, reducing urban heat island effect. The tower would be covered by a bird screen and a pot strainer could be added to the supply line to cleanse out any insects, leaves, etc. The problem of growth of water based organism can be easily solved via addition of Potassium Permanganate particles to the water. The chiller efficiency is higher than that of the VRF only at >90% load, but 80% of the chiller operating hours occurred at 45% to 80% load. Providing the cooling towers at the terrace will also keep it away from human contact. Clearly, VRF system is the winner. Design & Technology Incubator - Thesis 2017


VRV Cooling System

Geothermal Heat Pump

with DC inverter Technology counter-flow heat recovery unit

VRFs are typically installed with an Air conditioner inverter which adds a DC inverter to the compressor in order to support variable motor speed and thus variable refrigerant flow rather than simply perform on/off operation. By operating at varying speeds, VRF units work only at the needed rate allowing for substantial energy savings at partial-load conditions. Heat recovery VRF technology allows individual indoor units to heat or cool as required, while the compressor load benefits from the internal heat recovery. Energy savings of up to 55% are predicted over comparable unitary equipment. This also results in greater control of the building’s interior temperature by the building’s occupants.

It uses the earth as a heat source (in the winter) or a heat sink (in the summer). This design takes advantage of the moderate temperatures in the ground to boost efficiency and reduce the operational costs of heating and cooling systems, and may be combined with solar heating to form a geosolar system with even greater efficiency. Depending on latitude, the temperature beneath the upper 6 metres (20 ft) of Earth’s surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 10 and 16 °C (50 and 60 °F),[3] if the temperature is undisturbed by the presence of a heat pump. Like a refrigerator or air conditioner, these systems use a heat pump to force the transfer of heat from the ground. These system can save upto 40% on Heating and Cooling Systems

1.  Systems such as Net Metering and Feed-in-Tariff can offset electricity usage costs. In some locations though, grid technologies cannot cope with distributed generation feeding into the grid, so the export of surplus electricity is not possible and that surplus is earthed. 2.  Grid-connected PV systems are comparatively easier to install as they do not require a battery system 3.  Grid interconnection of photo-voltaic (PV) power generation systems has the advantage of effective utilization of generated power because there are no storage losses involved. 4.  A photo-voltaic power system is net-carbon negative over its lifespan, as any energy produced over and above that to build the panel initially offsets the need for burning fossil fuels.

Disadvantages 1.  Grid-connected PV can cause issues with voltage regulation. The traditional grid operates under the assumption of one-way, or radial flow. But electricity injected into the grid increases voltage1, and can drive levels outside the acceptable bandwidth of ±5%. 2.  Grid-connected PV can compromise power quality2. PV’s intermittent nature means rapid changes in voltage. This not only wears out voltage regulators due to frequent adjusting, but also can result in voltage flicker.

Lighting Systems Direct DC LED Lighting

Double Facade

Since many alternative energy sources as well as electronics and controls technologies are based on DC current, DC grids have been investigated more intensely in the last decade. DC grids with a centralized AC/DC conversion have proven to be advantageous in server farms. While LED lighting is also a DC current related technology, an obvious choice would be to use DC grids for them. Thus directly employing the PV energy in the Battery to power the lighting system would reduce inverter losses and controller losses

Creates thermal barrier and air cooling, The double-skin facade is a system of building consisting of two skins, or facades, placed in such a way that air flows in the intermediate cavity. The ventilation of the cavity can be natural, fan supported or mechanical. The skin controls the harsh southern sun by regulating the amount of sunlight that enters. In the summer, the air between the layer is ventilated, while in the winters, the hot air can be used to heat interior.

Advantages • • • • •

Trustworthy Powerline communication over networks • Improved monitoring of the cables • Not short-circuit power • Less material (cables, casing) Existing grid: more power over existing cables

Vikram Bengani , School of Planning & Architecture

New grid: thinner cables needed Fewer conversions, reduced conversion losses No reactive power: better able to meet the requirements of grid, easily dimmable

Lighting Systems

Skylighting Strategy

There are 3 components to all natural lighting systems. Theses are 1. Sky Component (SC) 2. External Reflected Components (ERC) 3. Internal Reflected Components (IRC)

Skylights are light transmitting fenestration (elements filling building envelope openings) forming all, or a portion of, the roof of a building’s space for daylighting purposes.

with Aluminium Profiles. These are units with argon filled gas in the cavity between two layers of glazing. These exhibit high thermal barrier and convectional heating through the glass.

Louvres reduce low angle sun while allowing diffused daylight to enter inside interior spaces. These generally work on NorthWest & North-East Elevation and in combination. Pergolas, however reduce the intensity of Direct sunlight falling on the ground or the facade.

A light shelf is a horizontal surface that reflects daylight deep into a building. Light shelves are placed above eye-level and have high-reflectance upper surfaces, which reflect daylight onto the ceiling and deeper into the space. An advance item such as a Heliostat is a combination of Skyight and Light Shelves that moves with the sun to redirect them downwards.

Green Roof

BioWall A green roof or living roof is a roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing membrane. • Air Quality. Extensive planting within cities is now widely recognized as a means of improving air quality • Promotion of Biodiversity and Wildlife • Energy Conservation • Improved thermal performance • Green space for Human Comfort & Health • Reduction in Urban Heat Island Effect [albedo effect] • Noise and Sound Insulation • Recycled Materials

There are two types of BioWall air filtration system. Soil-based system and Hydroponics. The soil based system is held in sheets with pockets in a vertical array. Hdroponics such as biowall utilize a soil-less media to anchoe, irrigate, and fertilize the plants. Plants can be chose for internal or external lighting conditions. The thickness of Hydroponic BioWall is approximately 75-100 mm while the foliage reaches upto 300mm

Workshops The Workshops are place on the ground floor arranged around a courtyard, which also become the meeting, collaborative and testing plalces for all inventions. an added benifit with this is that the workshops are easilt serviceable from the outside, with a back access for supplies trucks. Also, this isolates and keeps the noise and vibration generating amchinery at the bottom parts of the strucutre so that it maynot distub to research and working modules. In the case that an extension building i reqired, the canteen and the workshops should be placed in a way that it may be accessible and in the same vicinity of the new facilities as it is for the existing modules. Al water body is planned in the middle for micro climate control and cool down the HVAC compressor cooler.

Laboratories Are placed on the upper floors to ensure that they are not disturbed by the publicness of the lower floor. At the same time, an unobstructed visual axis should be planned to connect them to meeting and public spaces. This overlooking idea is of importance in ensuring incident discoveries of trans-disciplinary nature. View are important for this facility, so is daylight and ventilation

Library The library is planned according to distance from Laboratories and individual axis so that it may remain open late in the case incubates need late night access. In the case that an extension building is reqired, the library should be placed in a way that it may be accessible and in the same vicinity of the new facilities as it is for the existing modules. Special attention should be employed to reduce external noise by isolation. This facility should also be planned with ease of access in mind from the existing computer centers as well. Daylighting is also an important criteria for library

Computer Center The computer center shall be accessed from the library and the laboratories and require not much daylighting. or views. The center shall be located near the data center for servicing connectivity and will be climate controled. Thus, it may be planned in the inner regions of the building masses

Canteen The canteen has been planned in such a way that it shares the courtyard/enclave of the workshops, so that users may witness daily testing and interaction generate into the courtyard. This ultimately allows for incidental interaction with the courtyard testing as magnetic feature.

Is planned near the entrance, from the foyer. This facility shall also be provided with an individual entrance facility from the outside of the foyer with ease of vehicular access to the PFA

Meeting spaces should be planned to be easily accessible from the laboratories and the entrances. It may possibly overlook the workshop area or the central foyer area. This will ensure that meetings take place in energized locations, and while one party waits, they may overlook at these active public spaces. They may have views from the outside and the views to the inside.

Should be planned in way that it creates a harmonious balance with the surroundings, so that residences may look at other residences across the site. With Independent Access from the Incubator facility, this residences is planned to achieve a higher level so that views and sunlight might easily penetrate to the interior of the building. Ventilation would be resolved in a passive way with this strategy, providing with ample winter sun and monsoon winds. The residences may be pivoted to adjust to the north-site axis, rather than the geometric axis described on the site. Design & Technology Incubator - Thesis 2017

Collective Inferences Proposition Analysis

To ensure design strategies are in sync with energy reduction strategy, sustainable strategy and Landscaping. To investigate the possibility of architecture as infrastructure rather than product, ensuring flexibility and reconfigurability.

Research Analysis

The cost of producing research labs and integrated office spaces are high on the service and technology side, Thus an integrated system on smaller footprint and compact setting would be most appropriate

Area Programme Analysis

All Functions work to serve the progressions of the stakeholders, which is exhibited through the Experience Center, the Auditorium and the Working Modules. A socially charging point is also the maker’s space and workshops All functions shall serve these and themselves.

Conclusions 1.  2.  3.  4.  5.

The entire system with the area programme should be well connected, integrated and work as a wholesome ecosystem. The Design scheme should ensure care free pedestrian movement within the site to increase connectivity Zoning of Programmes should repond to the surrounding conditions while enuring internal planning to remain efficient. The built and its skin should exhibit a brand value associated with its function and create a place for itself in the face of the streets. Depth of a building block is limited by the penetration of natural ventilation. It ma however be extended by use of Skylight or LightWell

INFORMAL SEATING

Clear and actuated response to urban morphology and the geometrical axis. FROM PARKING


PRE FINAL DESIGN

STRENGHTS

Integration of all building using streamlined circulation and interface between outdoor and indoor are treated better for better transitions Vehicular traffic is resolved and contained. Building mass is compact and efficient Daylighting systems are in place and effectively working Usable open spaces are emerging in the scheme Pedestrian friendly car free circulation Structural System and Views are well resolved.

Fig 119 :  North Elevation

WEAKNESS

Lawn in front of the entrance is broken by the car parking ramps. Inefficient system of vertical vehicular circulations Conflicting geometries at the junctions Very large masses as a result of the compaction in plan. Inward looking planning, hierarchy of open spaces are neither distributed nor clear. Low porosity at the ground floor level No separate entrance for workshops No open space for workshops to expand The Identity of the whole is not comprehensively worked on with the elevation in mind. landscaping is nonexistent
