ADAPTIVE REUSE

Semester 7, 2022

Type: Academic-Design, Group Work Objective: Adaptive reuse of Solina Silk Factory, Reshamkhana.

Location: Solina, Ram Bagh, Srinagar, Kashmir.

Area: Approx. 22 acres

AIM: To derive and adopt various strategies for the restoration and reuse of Solina Silk Factory. This silk factory has a mon umental historic and heritage value as it was amongst the valley’s first silk reeling factory established i n Srinagar.

The narrative that we followed for the adaptive reuse of this silk factory was to establish an Cultural Center which will help in maintaining the legacy of thisFactory, at the same time creating a community inclusive place for the neighboring areas. The site is surrounded by important schools,colleges and community spaces, also residential area is a dominating factor too, therefore people from different social, cultural and religious backgrounds could benefit from this cultural center. The site also generates a first pure cultural center which in turn will help the factory to create a community within itself that would allow the nearby places to interact amongst themselves.

As silk factory had thosands of workers when it was established, but eventually all these people went unemployed as the factory got shut down. so creating a space where it will benifit the local people and will generate economy.

No. of workers in the past : 5000-6000 No. of workers in the present : 30 - 50

SITE PLAN - EXISTING AND PROPOSED

NEIGHBOURHOOD SCALE

INFERENCES

If the precinct’s geographical dimension is regarded from a different perspective, it can offer social and economic prospects to the entire area, which would otherwise be severely lacking in social infrastructure.

The factory has important historical and cultural worth, which means that its legacy must be respected and pre served. This conclusion may be drawn from all the back ground research.
