services Designed for encouraging the growing power loom & hand loom industries in the rich textile belt of Erode-Tirupur-Coimbatore, Texvalley is a bold initiative by the Ministry of Textiles to put up an integrated state of the art complex for marketing & purchasing of textile products. Situated strategically at the edge of the Erode city along the national highway, the challenge was to provide a conspicuous satellite centre to the existing old city markets for the local vendors, manufacturers, suppliers to showcase their products to national & international buyers.

The project comprises of three major blocks, namely the Weekly Market, the Trade Fair Complex & the Super Mart building. The geometry of the Meenakshi Temple is highlighted into the design planning, resulting an inter flow of series of open spaces into the built forms. The three blocks are woven along a strong longitudinal axis which constitutes a pedestrian movement at an elevated level along with a parallel vehicular movement at the ground level. The pedestrian axis commences with an entrance plaza to the weekly market and elevates further to a floor height walkway, overlooking into the split levels within the weekly market before terminating into a central open elevated plaza.

Considering the dry & arid climate of the region, passive strategies of design were incorporated to maximize day-lighting & minimize heat gain.

A series of courtyards accentuates the flow of air into the corridors running along them thus resulting in substantial reduction of energy required for mechanical means of ventilation.

Use of green terraces at different level on the buildings & along the pedestrian plazas also helps in reducing the temperature. Water fountains & cascades are strategically located in & around the buildings so that the flowing breeze gathers moisture along its run.

The more you respect mother earth and create designs that are organic in built form and knit with nature, the environment becomes more lively and human.

THE WAY FORWARD

ne t zero

Beyond

The building should not be a constituent of brick and concrete alone but should progressively grow and blossom like a flower and become an eternal part of landscape and its natural surrounding. It needs to be treated like a living organism and should breathe & be inter woven with the environment.

My past 40 years of experience and passion for sustainable green architecture has progressed my thoughts. I feel like a proud father of every building which we have designed, like a father feels honored and proud when his son is settled with recognized profession of merit. Every building is a design challenge. Passive strategies towards respecting the site topography, orientation, wind directions and selection of appropriate materials and technology lead to sustainability.

Maximizing daylight and minimizing heat gain in hot-dry and composite climate is one of the major concerns of planning.

Conservation of water and energy by use of natural process of recycling, reuse and making the built environment off the grid is what perhaps is Net Zero. We need to look beyond net Zero. The rural & urban overlap demands for food and vegetation growth within the built environment. For a sustainable campus Integrated livable environment has been planned by our team where human habitat and agriculture for self-sufficiency co-exist. New technological advancements have been amalgamated to achieve a sustainable campus wherein human habitat and self-reliant eco-system of Flora & Fauna co-exist. This makes the IIT-Jodhpur campus a vision beyond net zero or net-positive.

My professional journey of more than two decades from practice to teaching and authoring of books has provided me with insight and visionary thought of the young budding Architects toward better, healthy and green environment by way of new innovative ideas and use of appropriate technology beyond imagination.

Our recent mega infrastructure global winning design (competition) the Chennai Airport, which truly is the Greenest Airport Terminal and City Side Development which we are proud to have achieved through adaptation of most of the active and passive strategies of sustainability and green architecture.

Our corporate buildings and campuses namely CRI Pumps, Suguna Poultry, REC, HPGCL, Oil India are truly demonstrating the green elements and adherence to ECBC code. The passion towards profession has led us to great heights, achievements and innovations. Kongu convention centre with a capacity of 4500 person is a landmark of South India as one of the largest and sustainable developments. Amudham Dairy Plant is another true example of affordable and sustainable landmark industrial complex with use of appropriate technology to achieve the highest aesthetics and conducive environment.

I can proudly say that with my vast experience Creative Group has inculcated within their team members the zeal and passion to design beyond Net Zero.

May we call the same as dream with the unimaginable thoughts looking to be fairy tales of today but reality of tomorrow.

Let us march together towards green and look beyond Net Zero.
