Kinetic City - Formal Informality According to statistics, almost 1000 people move into Bangalore every day. This roughly translates to a requirement for 250 homes and a school per day, and a hostel every second day. The IT sector alone is a primary contributor to this flow of people and it manifests in temporary and informal patterns of settlement. The bloating of Bangalore’s population is putting heavy pressure on its space, resources and infrastructure there by adversely affecting the quality of life of its residents.Hence the city is in desperate need of a system which can respond to this explosion of population. The primary aim of this proposal - Kinetic City - is to address the spatial needs created by this population flow. The project proposes a strategy for generating high density settlements within the city in ways which learn from and adapt to existing informal settlements. An alternative to conventional models of urban renewal, this strategy seeks to integrate with the surrounding conditions - in terms of scale, grain and use – and foster incremental development. It aims to find and establish an optimum urban as well as architectural framework: one which is flexible enough to develop according to the needs and preferences of the existing residents of the informal settlements and which includes work and live zones for the migrant population. This Proposal tries to embrace the informal and kinetic nature already evident in the city, by proposing strategies for a local urban framework which adapts to and supports these urban dynamics.Kinetic city provides a model for integrating formal and informal typologies in ways responsive to the broader physical and economic context.

3.2 HUMANIZE : The first step is to create a landscape network that will guide future habitats and recreational spaces. Over time, this central spine will eventually connect and transform the existing fragmented neighbourhoods and the metro station.

3.3 SHORTER BLOCKS : A formal organising grid applied to the site as an underlying element deforms and merges with the existing street networks to form organic plots.

3.5 LANDSCAPE LOOP : The nodes, each with its unique character are looped with pedestrian and biking tracks to create a unified character for the site.

3.6 BUILT FORM : The Master plan proposes strategical locations for different programs and its dependencies and typologies for each parcel which also utilities the potential of the existing urban informality.

3.4 NODAL CATALYSTS : Major public and cultural functions are strategically located along the central landscape spine to serve as focal points which can attract other activities of communal nature.

Infrastructural loop

1 : Site: Flanked by the Hospital to the North and Metro Station to the East

2 : Infrastructure barrier : Old Madras Road divides the site into two physically separate parts

3 : Connecting loop: A common link between the station and the two separated sites is required

4 : Landscape Bridge: The ground plane from both sites is shifted up as a continuous landscape and connected to the metro station

5 : Activate: By adding public spaces amenities at the ground level, the bridge becomes a connecting plaza between the elements, bypassing the traffic below.

6 : Program: Additional programs of office spaces, commercial and retail enhance the once dysfunctional edge into a hub of activity and public life.

Te Aro Market Park Te Aro Park forms the centre of a diverse meeting point and junction well defined by Cuba Street, Manner Street & Dixon Street. It forms a unique juncture between the precincts bordered by these streets. The existing Oak Building on the west of the triangular site, although planned to meet the commercial needs of the precinct as well as a market place, is not performing up to the desired extent. The building and the park although within the same site, are segregated by virtue of the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s particular lack of response to the park. This was identified as the key issue which was restricting the use of the site to its maximum potential. Although the site was at a critical juncture of precincts and access routes, it does not seem to be a well-planned response to the same. The approach was to first identify the site forces and the surrounding program patterns, pedestrian movement, shift in activities over time, etc. acting over the fresh site with the park retained. Current land use patterns and its changes, behavioural shifts in neighbouring communities were studied, which had a direct impact on the kind of activities which were proposed. The primary objective of the project was to address the site as a critical meeting place of people, various socio-economic forces and communities. Guidelines were made in order to strengthen the existing connections to key areas across the site and also forge new ones. Firstly, the whole site was visualised as a continuous park rather than a segregation of building program and landscape. The community composition in the neighbouring areas and their behavioural patterns called for introduction of new programs on the site replacing the existing building.

Project : Affect _ Body + Architecture Course : MArch (Prof), Year 4 Year : 2012 Design Instructor: Prof Jan Smitheram

Museum + Supermarket The City is clearly more than a set of fixed and stable objects, which embodies ambient / ephemeral spatial qualities that evoke emotions and feelings of its inhabitants. Our various needs fuel our movement within our surroundings, and our surroundings in turn give ‘form’ to our movements. Hence, the ‘form’ of one’s personal territories and affective spatial experiences are a result of mutual interaction of the individuals attributes (habit/motion) with the surrounding in which the person is in. This understanding of City as a site of temporal actions and conversations suggests the capacity of body to produce affective spaces. In the design phase, the main intention was to create a single entity which exhibits multiple characters from various entry points within the same site, thereby giving result to varied experiences for the individual approaching the site from different trajectories through the city. Besides mixing programs, the building was to also establish connections with the surroundings, thereby creating new entrances and experiences towards the surrounding active edges. The two main distinct programmes with its associated support functions (Art Gallery/Supermarket) is visualised as two distinct volumes merging into each other, thereby creating a mixing effect. The Possibility of flexible / multi-use spaces is explored in the merging spaces, which tie together the various programmes thereby blurring/softening the program edges. The building also prompts movement through ramps and bridging elements. A new connection is established directly between the building and the park by a pedestrian bridge, which forms a part of the building itself, affecting transformation between affective states.

Project : New zealand School of Music Course : GDip Arch / BAS, Year 3 Year : 2011 Design Instructor: Fabricio Chicca

NZ School of Music The site is located in the corner of Ghuznee Street and Leeds Street, it is flanked by rear side of buildings on Cuba street on West side and a pedestrian pathway that leads to Te Aro park on the north and Courtney Place on East. The current unpleasant condition of Leeds street and a connecting pathway scarcely invite users. The design respects the potential of this existing connections and aims to strengthen this through architectural intervention that activate the existing edge condition of the site which promote new activities and uses. On the outside, the volume of various programs was collectively seen as a single mass, which responds to the two main streets flanking the site. Towards Ghuznee Street, which had more vehicular traffic, the volume was introduced with a recessed main entrance. Leed Street, being mainly used by pedestrian commuters, influenced the volume to create a stepped public space, integrated into the ribbed faĂ§ade. All the individual functions of the music school was located towards the periphery of site, leaving a vast central space at the heart of the site. The central space would house the cafĂŠ and the performance area ensuring interaction of all users of the music school. This central space was then connected to the stepped public space through a transition space in the form of a semi-public deck space.

Project : Glover Park Museum Course : GDip Arch / BAS, Year 3 Year : 2011 Design Instructor: Ar. Victoria Willocks

Museum for Modern Arts The site, known as Glover Park, sits between Garrett street and Ghuznee street. Ghuznee Street, which forms the main vehicular road adjacent to the site, intersects Cuba street towards the north-west of the site, and Victoria street to the north west. As one walks through these areas, we can find that the majority of commuters on these streets are pedestrians. We can also find this further reinforced by the fact that Glover park (the site) is present between these streets, which acts as a public space for pedestrians. This proved as an additional challenge to the design project. How can we create a museum space which effectively occupies the whole of Glover park, but at the same time not take away the public green space? The design was visualized as a direct manifestation of the solution to this question, at the same time focusing on a typological response to the needs of museum. The museum has a public green space at its heart, which directly links the streets on either side of it. This enables free flow of pedestrians into the site, acting as a public interaction space. The addition of a strong program would reinforce this, i.e. the museum would be further more reason to attract people inwards into the site. The programs of the museum are arranged in such a way that the public functions at ground level of the site slowly transforms into the semi-public, with functions such as the library and cafĂŠ. The upper floors contain the gallery spaces, which also extends into the basement as dark exhibit spaces. The basement level has additional functions of workshops, a lecture theatre and a study collection area. Finally, the green space is further extended to the roof, as a sculpture garden, where visitors can enjoy generous views to the city.

Project : Ecko Ultd Design Firm : Design for Change ( DFC) / FRDC, Bangalore Type : Retail Experience / Physical Branding Year : 2011 Location: New Delhi

Ecko Unltd. Ecko Unltd. is a well established urban lifestyle brand founded by fashion designer Marc Milecofsky in 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s which is often associated with hip hop culture and graffiti art movement in 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The brand wanted to reposition its existing image from the vintage urban image toa more street culture / tech image. The main objective of the project was to create design interventions that project this through a retail spatial experience. This was achieved through the careful use of modern materials and lightings. The conceptual plan was developed around the central idea of a diagonal axis cutting the horizon plane which promotes movement and at the same time divides the available volume into spatial islands of specific identity. Ecko Red for women was placed on left side of this axis with floor units of curved features. The Ecko Unltd. for men was placed on the opposite side and other unisex merchandise was arranged along the vertical wall niches and a unique display unit. This conceptual plan was later implemented and adapted to the spatial conditions for several stores without losing the core ideas generated during the experienctial design process.

Project : Tashi Footware Design Firm : Design for Change ( DFC), Bangalore Type : Retail Architecture / Physical Branding Year : 2011 Location: New Delhi

Tashi by Tata Int’l Tashi Brand is new initiative by Tata International to venture into the Indian lifestyle products market. The brand wanted to position itself as a premium brand which focuses on end-use and lifestyle than classification or manufacturer. The key idea of design was to give unified retail experience within single store with different individual identity for men, women, and children’s area. The individual spatial identity was achieved through materials and finishes with custom designed wall and floor elements for each area. Both lighting fixtures and visual merchandising elements were used to reinforce the idea of differentiation of each lifestyle products categories. Custom graphic language was developed for each section for better spatial understanding and communication. The store is planned to consume at least 40 per cent less energy using Solar power integration. All interior materials, methodology and designs comply with LEED under USGBC. The store was one of the first ‘Green’ stores in India under IGBC.

Samitha Samitha is a small boutique store idea conceived by a group of women in a family as a small outlet for their multiple creativity and talents. Starting small with bigger vision in mind, the design brief needed to develop brand identity, retail experience design and architectural design. The core idea was to develop a singular language both spatially and graphically, which can be adaptable, flexible yet consistent. The chosen site for the first store was located on service Rd at Vytilla Bypass, 450 m away from the Vytilla Junction. Existing dilapidated shed adjacent to the house was to be demolished and the same footprint was to be used for the new building. The challenge which was to establish the presence of a small building in-between bigger buildings and existing trees on site, was solved by a deploying formal strategy. The form was to carry the brand image and express the lightness of its use. Existing natural pathways from the house to the shed was retained and an informal meeting area surrounding a garden was proposed for both store and domestic use. The interior space planning is kept simple with wall merchandise, floor units and reception on the left corner and a trial room on the opposite side. Sky lights were introduced for day lighting to reduce the energy consumption by artificial lighting in the store. Finally both the store and the graphic language comes together to form a unified brand experience.

Angle House 27 The idea to test a formal strategy to respond to the harsh southern and western sun, but allowing morning sun and natural breeze to enter the house resulted in the final form of the building. The angular/oblique form was further developed by adding detailed elements like horizontal louvers and structural frames. The Angle House 27 is simple composition of two different volumes, where one is creating a forward movement towards the welcoming landscape. This move created varying habitable space/volumes inside and outside the house and at the same time opened up the house to prevailing breeze and natural daylight. Clarity of structure defines internal and external spaces by also maintaining the physical and visual connection between them. The entrance to the house is defined by formal and material differentiation, where one enters through the small bridge suspended above the water element in front of the house. The ground floor is occupied with large living and dining area, kitchen, storage and common toilet area. The stair is located on the right side passage of the living room. The first floor contains two bedrooms, bathrooms and family living room. Finally, third floor has a bedroom with terrace gardens on front and rear side which is connected by study with controlled views to the surrounding.

M House The client had a small east facing site with an area of 4.2 cents located south east of Thripunithura, Cochin. The site was flanked by an apartment block on the west side and a house on the east side. The issue of privacy on the east side openings was a critical to spatial planning. This proved as an additional challenge to the design project. The design was visualized as two equal volumes that created a void in the middle to give way for vertical and horizontal circulation with sky lights on top. Private spaces like bedrooms and family living room on the upper level was protected from southern sun by jalis and green spaces behind them. Similar strategy was also used to control the views and privacy on east side. The sandwiched green layer for indoor plants between jalis and rooms provides fresh air and also creates a micro climate within the house. This backdrop of indoor green also provides an in-between experience for the inhabitants with diffused natural light.
