BandraFreemiumCenter Academic:Individual XTrimester/4thYear July’10-October’10 NameofSupervisor-Prof.AnandPandit Emailid- jayashreepandit@gmail.com This project was done by 8 students each one working on different design; only the initial urban site study was done as a group following which each student took their own path and created their own designs. In the 5th Year the students did the workingdrawingsofthesameprojectanddevelopedfurtherdetails. The students were given a site at Bandra Reclamation, Mumbai. The site lies at the southern tip of National Highway 8, at Bandra Recalamation. It is an easily accessible site, with connectivity to Worli via the newly constructed sea link, to Mahim via the Mahim Causeway, to Bandra via S.V. Road and Bandra Linking Road, and to East and North Mumbai via the Western Express Highway. The project requirements call for a recreational center, which will allow people from all the above areas access to facilities and spaces which will help them nurture their talents on a leisurely or professional level. The architecture should promote a senseofconfluenceandcongregation,whichwillpromotetheprogramme. There are ONGC residential buildings to the north, a 10m wide no man's land to the south, open ground to the east and the sea link site office to the west. Apart from these immediate surroundings, Lilavati hospital, IES college, Bandra Fire Station, and the Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link form the prominent landmarks around the site. The lay of the land is flat, with the no man's land sloping up to the highway at aheightof5m. The brief required us to design a recreational facility for an NGO, with programs being flexible in both space and time to maximize the usability of the facility. With the restrictions placed on us due to the zonal regulations, climate, site shape, views, adjacent highway, views, etc., we came up with varied design responses towardsthebrief.

OF PEOPLE USING PROGRAMS (MAX.

The pursuit of excellence in passions creates professionals. Unfortunately, the spaces available for these communities to pursue and showcase their hobbies and passions, which arise out of their cultures, are extremely limited. On the off chance that some facilities or spaces do exist, they are seldom well maintained, and are unused or misused for the rest of the time. Furthermore, due to various reasons like lack of space, high land values, etc, the facilities that are provided are very expensiveforthevastmajoritywhohave passion,butcannotaffordsuchspaces.

The idea of connectivity and visibility from afar and in between the programmes was examined. Zoning was done in such way where the central staircase acted as an adhesive to the spaces around and as a viewing gallery to the surrounding. Categorizing the programme from public to private led to the transition of transparent to opaque experiences withinthespacesoftherecreationcenter.

N JUHU MUMBAI N URBANHOUSING JUHU,MUMBAI _7 UrbanHousing Academic:Individual XI-XIITrimester/4thYear Nov’10-April’11 NameofSupervisor-Prof.AnandPandit Emailid- The agenda of this semester was to take a fresh look at the problem of urban housing in the suburban area of Juhu. The site chosen for redevelopment is located in a densely populated patch of Juhu. The plot consists of units of numerous different housingtypologiesvaryingindensities,usersandprograms. The students in a group of 8 studied the site in relation to the urban scenario and then selecting a site. The process then requires them to survey each house and number of people and the requirements which they had to consider while designing. They came across many difficulties that the residents were facing.After the urban study and the requirements the students worked on the project individually developing their initial conceptwithadetaileddesignproposal. The primary focus was to develop social housing and create strong community spaces, not just inhabit people, in dull, uninteresting blocks. Integrating public spaces within an urban environment, such that it can support all the activities and programs that are a part of daily lives of the inhabitants. Urban issues such as lack of adequate open space, social problems, sustainability, movement of traffic and pedestrians, incremental housing as well as integration into the area's economic, socialandculturalstructuresisstudiedandfocusedoninthedesignproposal. In the nineteenth century, Juhu was an island: a long, narrow sand bar rising above sea level by a metre or two, just off the west coast of Salsette. It could be reached during low tides by walking across the tidal inlet. The open beaches of Juhu have attracted the well-heeled and the most affluent among Mumbai's population for almost a century. Soon the higher class in Mumbai started developing bungalows in vicinity of Juhu; until recently where Juhu has attracted a number of builders who have been eyeing these bungalows to build high rises and yield more money out of every square inch of the plot.The prices of these areas have almost doubled in the last five years which is the main reason why the typology of the area has been changing and evolving. People who still want to retain their bungalows are forced to move out because of the hap hazard construction which is happening in their vicinity. Some are attracted by the money offered by the builders and some families themselves need to expand. Hence the whole area of Juhu has changed rapidly in the recent decade. This has been the main reason why Juhu attracted us an area of study.The project involves us understanding the topologies of the building as well as developing a module for the new housing keeping in mind the future potential of the plot and developing the schemeasawhole.

Recent redevelopments of these properties has created apartments, to create the existing pattern. VILE PARLE STATION Proximity Phenomenon: Daily access and footfalls to the station automatically created viable zones for exchange and trading around the station. This is in accordance with old residences around the station, which prompted the station to come up in the first place. Old Housing Existence: The existence and survival of east Indian and Christian communities as also the simultaneous redevelopment of bungalows and gaothans into residential apartments creates overloaded streets and chaotic patterns on habitation densities. JUHU-ANDHERI LINK ROAD Close proximity to the road networks connecting the city to the northern suburbs leads to high densities automatically along these roads while older gated communities as well as slums existing on empty plots around the region add to variations in the pattern. Slums Service provision: the large number of educational institutes within the site alongwith service provision to the existing bungalows and high-end residential apartments all year round attracts and keeps intact the inhabitants within these slums. JUHU CIRCLE Existence of old residential buildings from the town-planning scheme alongwith newer high-rise apartments on other ends creates varying densities. this is in contrast to the relatively open patches around other ends for airport and military purposes which completes the density pattern. JVPD Town Planning Scheme: with a view to provide housing stock to the city after independence, plotted developments like Juhu vile parle development scheme were planned. coperative socities and bungalows provided the necessary densities planned by the city authorities. The City as a commercially engineered phenomena: redevelopment schemes in old buildings with higher FSI created apartments out of bungalows. the entire region underwent the same trend due to higher land values within existing city limits. JUHU KOLIWADA Kolis are fishing community, settled near the beach. The kolis are a very self sustained community, as all the occupational requirements are met in the community itself. This is the main reason for the pattern in the koliwada to be so dense. GILBERT HILL Gilbert hill has been declared as a National Geological Monument thus restricting development in that area. Due to this reason, clusters of slums developed around the hill, making it a densely populated region. The government authorities have recently given builders permission to build skyscrapers near the hill. Thus the pattern of density around the hill changes from a denser one to a sparser one.

DesignDissertation Academic:Individual XII-XVTrimester/5thYear July’11-March’12 NameofSupervisor-Prof.TrilochanChhaya Emailid-chhayatm@vsnl.com/ TrilochanChhaya@nmims.edu Time and space are the two variables around which architecture is built. Buildings evolve over a period of time because the perception of spaces changes. A building needs to constantly respond with the its surrounding contexts and find a way to inhabititselfallroundtheyear. Such a strategy will ensure its survival and sustainability over a period of time. A primary requirement for this, is a flexible program or in other words a variable use of space which will lead to a constancy of use, over a period of time. This is especially true in the case of public buildings. Public spaces designed for time bound activities tend to fall in disuse after the completion of events. The most commonly examples are those of stadiums and public parks with specific timings. Consequently, anti social elements and activities abound such dead areas. Another point in the case of public buildings is the issue of maintenance. A public space which enjoys high occupancy will automatically generate its owns funds and find novel techniques to overcomeinactivity. In the contemporary context it is essential to design spaces which last over a period of time. Flexibility of programs, giving rise to multiple activities are the key to sustainabledesign.Thiswasthestartpointfortheselectionoftheprogram.

The thought behind the whole transformation was to divide a program in a set of modules which in turn would transform to become new programs. If you see the diagram you will notice that a single mass gets divided and some of them split and some of the other combine together to form various combinations to perform new programs which are apt for a particular space. eg an auditorium is converted into a boutique and an exhibition gallery by just breaking the initial program and the space by simple transformation. Operations carried out on each container were to be carried out on the framing as well as its surface.They were as simple as folding / rotating or sliding. By these combinations I got various sections as well as spaces that could be transformed and with the help of these operations I would be able to transform thespaceaspertheuser.

A new system had to be evolved so that the desired distances be achieved. The problem for using containers was that the span had to be limited and the stacking of one container on the other would have to be taken care of.As a result more than 6 or 7 containers could not be stacked on top of each other. To design a system there had to be some constants and some variables. I decided to keep the verticals constant on which the variables will move. The verticals would be acting like columns in a structure which would tie the building around. Having fixed the constants the variables needed to move about the constants.As a result the columns would have a rebate on which the horizontal members would move in the vertical axis. Once the verticals and horizontals were fixed the motion would be in the vertical axis which would be further developed depending on the structure to get the motion required forthespacestotransform. After the verticals were set constant and the horizontals the variables I realised that the spaces were just changing in termsofvolumeandtherewasnoqualitativechangeinthem.asathoughtIdecidedthattheslabsshouldalsomovein theothertoaxisi.e.thex-yaxistobringaboutthetransformationsandchangethespacequalitatively. For the slab to move about in the x-y axis a framed mesh was designed keeping the integrated track in mind which would help in the shifting of slabs. The placement of the wheels that would shift the slab was important as they had to be placed in between the junction of the tracks (highlighted above) so that the slab is able to shift in the desired direction to the desiredplace.Animation showing the movement of slab in all axis.

Mill floors that resounded with the clang of machinery have been converted into shopping arcades, and residential towers have replaced their chimneys in the new skyline. If the Maharashtra government and the construction companies have their way, which in all likelihood they will, the now-defunct mills will soon be sold and they will make way forshoppingcomplexes,luxuryapartments,high-techcorporateoffices,entertainmentparksandstarhotels. The centralised site has its proximity to South Mumbai and well connected to both the suburban lines. Huge land is available for private developers for big housing complexes. Many of such projects already started or on the verge of it. The ruling by the Mumbai High Court on the sale and redevelopment of mill lands has renewed attention on the future of the city. In the last decade, even as rapid construction of high-rises has wrought drastic changes in the city's skyline and in the elusively defined “quality of life”, it is the court that have to direct the debateonMumbai'sdevelopment.
