Understanding a City as a system of Networks Jodhpur, Rajasthan The position of a city within a city network is closely linked to how a local entity and individuals are integrated into a larger network on the one hand, and to interactions between entities belonging to different networks within the same place, on the other. The city is characterized by the convergence of multiple networks of multiples scales and interconnected, or not, through various internal dynamics. Reciprocally, the existence of the urban environment constitutes resources for deploying and renewing multiple networks.

CONTEXT WHERE IS THE CONTEXT? - RAJASTHAN: Jodhpur, city, central Rajasthan state, Northwestern India. It is situated just northwest of the Luni River on a sterile tract of land covered with high sand hills. The region is sometimes referred to as Marwar because of the area’s harsh desert conditions). Its North and Northwest areas form part of the Thar (Great Indian) Desert. Its 15th-century Mehrangarh Fort is a former palace that’s now a museum. Set on a rocky outcrop, the fort overlooks the walled city, where many buildings are painted the city’s iconic shade of blue.

WALLED CITY OF JODHPUR: Situated on the eastern edge of the Great Indian Thar Desert, Jodhpur was founded in AD 1459 by the warrior Rathore Rajput Chief, Rao Jodha. The second largest of Rajasthan’s great cities today, it is also by far the oldest. Deep within it lies the old Walled City, a bustling microcosm watched over by the mighty colossus of Mehrangarh Fort. This charming old city is the western desert’s great melting pot, and its lanes are filled with people from all walks of life and every corner of the region. Unmarked but clear divisions exist in the residential sections. The most striking is Brahmapuri, the Colony of the Brahmins – that gave rise to Jodhpur’s most recent allure as the Blue City.

1993 - 2003

2003 - 2013

Legend The city evolved along with the Old Walled City Core in the centre to accommodate the increasing population of the city. The city developed more in the South because of the presence of the mountainous terrain in the North. Also, the city developed in the South direction along the Railway Line running from Jodhpur Junction through Bhagat ki Kothi station and Basni station towards Marwar.

Envisioning Walkable Neighborhoods A Case Of TT Nagar Densification Bhopal, MP A Neighbourhood for the people, by the people. The studio focused on the design aspects of Urban transformation within the existing urban areas. The increasing urban population and growing urban incomes will fuel the demand for more and more built floor space in cities accompanied by a demand for infrastructure. The studio worked on the preservation of the Neighbourhood concept while trying to recreate lively, walkable neighbourhoods, blended with natural surroundings.

CONTEXT WHERE IS THE CONTEXT? - BHOPAL: Bhopal is the capital city of the state of Madhya Pradesh, located in the central part of the state. The city is the best example of man-made squalor, having natural surrounding having low hills and expansive lakes. Known as the City of Lakes, it is a pleasing blend of tranquility and harmony. Located on a gradient, the metropolitan has a coliseum-like eminence, with a fair dash of serene gardens and lakes

Madhya Pradesh

TT Nagar Precinct

CITY EVOLUTION:

PLANNING CONCEPT OF BHOPAL: Bhopal has seen rapid urbanization in the last 20 years due to the urban agglomeration of the villages with semi-urban characteristics on the fringe of the city. Municipal limits (as per 1991 DP) - Area of 17594 acres (7123 hectares). The area is exclusive of B.H.E.L township, the industrial state, and the industrial area along Riasen road. Planning Units The DP 2005 of Bhopal has the concept of self-contained planning units. These units are linked to city centres, work centres of the higher order, City level amenities and traffic terminals, etc. These units are further divided into sub-divided into sub-sectors which further contain sub-level and sub-sector amenities. The structure hence comprises 10 planning units and an area of 10120 Hectares. Unit 3 The precinct lies in the unit corresponding to the Tatya Tope residential area. This consists of localities of 1464 quarters, 1250 quarters, Pancheol Nagar, North TT Nagar, 45 Bungalows, Malviya Nagar, Professors colony, Vidhan Sabha, Rajya Sabha, Shamla Hills area, Engineering college and villages of Kotra Sultanabad, Sighpur and Chunabatti. Total area unit of 1340 hectares, out of which current urban area is 496 Hectares. Capital Project Plan, 1958

ABOUT THE PRECINCT: Tulsi Nagar The locality Tulsi Nagar falls in Bhopal district situated in Madhya Pradesh state, with a population of 11688. The size of the area is about 0.93 square kilometers. Population Density: 125 pp/ha. Shivaji Nagar The locality Shivaji Nagar falls in Bhopal district situated in Madhya Pradesh state, with a population of 23632. The size of the area is about 2.13 square kilometers. Population Density: 111.04 pp/ha. Neighbourhood Planning Concept: The housing layout of Tulsi Nagar and Shivaji Nagar which were initially known as the 1250 Quarters and 1464 Quarters (sectors C & D), was based on the ideologies of the neighbourhood concept. The implementation of the concept can be seen in various sections of the precinct, i.e., Cul-de-sacs & curved layouts to encourage a quiet, safe & low-volume traffic movement in the residential atmosphere; streets providing boundaries of residential neighbourhoods; the radius of the neighbourhood being maxed one-quarter mile; etc.

CONCEPT:

The Proposal was based on the Walkable Neighbourhood Concept with all amenities such as commercial/retail areas, public and semipublic spaces, healthcare, educational institutes, and others within walkable distance of the residential pockets. The Structure Plan hence tries to maintain the required balance between the area dedicated for Residential landuse and other landuses as per the URDPFI Guidelines. The proposal was made keeping in mind the existing precinct level and city level amenities already supporting the existing needs. As per Landuse required amenities were added over and above these retained structures. Other than retaining structures of physical infrastructure institutes of social infrastructure was also retained to maintain the cultural fabric of the precinct.

Sandhi: Sarai Kale Khan Transit Hub Delhi, New Delhi Where all lines merge. The thesis project aimed at designing an elevated RRTS rail-based system in Delhi. RRTS is a rail-based high-speed, high-frequency, high-capacity, comfortable, air-conditioned, reliable, and safe commuter service connecting regional nodes. RRTS is different from conventional Railways as it will provide reliable, high-frequency, point-to-point regional travel at high speed along dedicated pathways. The program included the design of the RRTS station accompanied by the ISBT as the primary function of the hub along with providing various other public amenities. The brief aims at designing a hub that includes commercial areas and hospitality services.

CONTEXT WHERE IS THE CONTEXT? - DELHI: Delhi, officially the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi, is a city and a union territory of India containing New Delhi, the capital of India. Straddling the Yamuna river, primarily its western or right bank, Delhi shares borders with the state of Uttar Pradesh in the East and with the state of Haryana in the remaining directions. The site is located in Sarai Kale Khan, Delhi on the Ring Road – Mudrika Marg at the presently situated Sarai Kale Khan ISBT. This land has been reserved as a site for transit use only as per the Master Plan of Delhi, 2021.

Delhi

TRANSIT SCENARIO IN DELHI: The National Capital Region (NCR) has grown over the years to cover parts of states around Delhi namely, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. Today the total area which falls under NCR is about 55,083 km2 with a total population of over 46 million (4.6 crores) (Census 2011). The region has seen a decadal population growth of ~24% between 2001 and 2011. The entire NCR is an urban agglomeration with urbanization of about 62%. Further, in 2007, the number of Passenger vehicles crossing Delhi borders breached 1,100,000 (Eleven Lakhs) per day. Further, the rail-based interregional commuter demand in NCR is estimated to be 1.7 million passengers per day by 2032. This has triggered the need to have an effective regional public transport system as a priority. This need eventually led to the concept of RRTS (Regional Rapid Transit System).

Zone D

Sarai Kale Khan

SITE CONTEXT: ACCESS TO THE SITE: • • •

The site can be accessed from the Ring Road – Mudrika Marg from the East side acting as the main road that feeds the site. A bye lane from the Barapullah Flyover also feeds the Mudrika Marg, running along the South of the site. The site can be accessed through the Hazarat Nizamuddin Railway and the Sarai Kale Khan Metro Station.

WHAT IS RRTS?

•

RRTS is a rail-based high-speed, high-frequency, high-capacity, comfortable, air-conditioned, reliable, and safe commuter service connecting regional nodes. RRTS is different from conventional Railways as it will provide reliable, high-frequency, point-to-point regional travel at high speed along the dedicated pathway. It is different from the metro as it caters to passengers looking to travel a relatively long distance with fewer stops and at higher speeds. The proposed corridors radiate from National Capital Territory Delhi (NCTD) across the NCR area and terminate at the Rest of NCR (RNCR) towns which are the exit nodes of NCR.

• • • •

The primary road that feeds the site is the Ring Road Mudrika Marg that runs in the East of the site. The Barapullah Flyover in the South of the site also feeds the Ring Road. The Nizamuddin Entry II road leads towards the Metro station Exits and Railway Station’s second Entry. The Sarai Kale Khan Road leads to the ISBT from the Ring Road. The buses can also exit the ISBT from the South of the site using a service line for buses only that connects to the Sankat Mochan Mandir Road on the other side of the water stream.

LEGEND:

- Primary Road - Secondary Road - Tertiary Road

PRESENT LAND USE PLAN: • • • • •

The major landuse near the site is residential. The site has the Millennium Park near it in the North. The area on the East of the Ring Road has been addressed as an urbanisable area - to be utilized in the future as per the DDA Zonal Plan of Zone - D. The site also has the Hazarat Nizamuddin Station in its vicinity. The site also has a CNG Fuel Station and a fueling station near it.

SITE SUITABILITY:

SWOT ANALYSIS:

Strengths:

• • • • • • • •

The site has a present use of an Inter - State Bus Terminus one of the three main ISBTs in Delhi including Kashmere Gate and Anand Vihar. It is also connected to the intercity exchange hence ensuring an easy transition from a inter state to intercity transit. It is accessible via metro connectivity through the pink line of the underground Delhi metro. It has residential area in its proximity hence boosting the number of daily office workers. The site connects to the NH 44 and the Delhi - Meerut Expressway. It has a passenger dispersal to the railways as well by being in proximity to the Hazarat Nizamuddin Station. It has a vast expanse of presently not used urbanisable area (as per zonal plans) in the east for future development. It does not have a present landuse that needs demolition for the construction of the new RRTS station.

Weaknesses:

• • • • • • •

The site has the ISBT on its grounds, the functioning of which will get compromised during the time of construction. It has the Sarai Kale Khan village in the West, connected to the ring road via a road passing through the site. Hence maintaining this access route for the village is crucial for the site. It has does not have any renowned hotels in its vicinity for the ease of access of the passengers. The IPT stand near the site are presently running without proper infrastructure or design thought given to its functioning. Due to the heavy passenger dispersal at the site the pedestrian traffic in this area is high hence leading to a present pedestrian threatening circulation. It has an underground metro tunnel hence decreasing the area for construction. The present parking numbers are insufficient to the requirement presently and in future as well.

Opportunities:

• • • • • •

The site has an opportunity to become a mega transit hub, one of its kind in Delhi. It has the opportunity to connect inter state transit via the proposed connection to the proposed Delhi - Meerut and Delhi - Alwar routes of the RRTS network. It has a potential to become an area of commercial nature for people in transit as well as the visitors and residents near the site. It has an opportunity to increase the number of people taking public transit modes because of its connectivity to all of these networks. It can also support office areas for the residents nearby. The site can also support dormitories, guest-rooms and hotel for the passengers.

Threats:

• • •

The site can increase the traffic congestion in this area. The presence of the underground metro route can become a threat for construction, specially decreasing the feasibility for basement construction. The presence of the railways along with the added noise from the elevated RRTS trains can cause noise pollution in this area.

PLANNING: The site has been divided into three major parts aligned in a linear fashion along the site. The transit hub in the centre with the food court and the commercial tower as the anchors. The hotel has been cordoned off in a corner of the site for making way for a direct route from Ring Road to the Sarai Kale Khan Village.This road also segregates the transit hub which might have a noisy atmosphere from the hotel which requires calmness for the comfort of the guests. The transit hub has the first level of ISBT bus boarding bays on the ground with an access to the RRTS station unpaid concourse level. The food court has been placed near the transit hub acting as the central area for the ISBT passengers, RRTS passengers, Metro passengers coming from the nearby above ground metro station exit and also from the passengers entering or exiting the Hazarat Nizamuddin Railway Station through the Station road. In front of the transit hub the area has been screened from the Ring Road by the Local IPT centre for Call – In Cab Stands and Auto Stands. An intercity bus stop for intercity DTC bus service in Delhi has been provided to segregate these from the buses coming inside the ISBT.

SOLAR UMBRELLA: DYNAMIC FACADE: The design of the facade has been based on use of solar energy as a trigger for opening and closing of the apertures. The size of apertures increases with the intensity of light perceived by the panels. The mechanism of the envelope has been based on that of an umbrella. Connected by a central axis the fixed panels remain in position while the foldable panels have mounted wheels that move on designated light gauge steel frame structurs acting as rails. These are panels have been made of Solar cell fabric is a fabric with embedded Photovoltaic (PV) cells which generate electricity when exposed to light. Hence, the facade not only makes the structure dynamic but also makes a useful contribution to solar energy saving.

Dharavi Pipeline Project Dharavi, Mumbai, Maharashtra A project for the People by the People. A project involving Community driven initiatives for the betterment of the living conditions of the people of Dharavi, Mumbai. The project deals with designing Urban Infrastructure specifically the Sanitary and Water supply system for the dense fabric of Dharavi.

CONTEXT WHERE IS THE CONTEXT? - DHARAVI: An urban village at the heart of one of the world’s most densely populated areas stands Koliwada, a fishing community rich in its culture and traditions. Dharavi Koliwada village is located at the North of the Dharavi main road. Dharavi Koliwada is approximately 40.000 m sq., covering a population of around 25000 people. There are around 500 original settler families in the village who are Kolis.

Mumbai

ABOUT THE PRECINCT:

Dharavi Koliwada

ABOUT THE PROJECT:

The precinct is in one of the Koliwadas of Mumbai. Dharavi is an urban village accessible The project aims at providing urban infrastructure in terms of plumbing lines like water from Sion - Bandra Link Road and Mahim and Sion Railway stations. It has a gradual supply lines and sewage water lines. The Koli Jamat has taken up this initiative to strengthen slope towards Sion - Bandra Link Road which is higher than the original settlement area. the Urban Infrastructure of Koliwada and connect it to the city’s infrastructure. The aim is to connect every house with the systematic plumbing infrastructure. In the existing system every house is individually connected to the City Lines hence causing timely layering of pipelines in this area making adding new connections as well repairing older lines difficult. There are often problems like leakage of sewage lines that cause contamination of freshwater lines. Open drains are also a common sight in this neighborhood.

EXISTING PLUMBING INFRASTRUCTURE OF DHARAVI: In the existing scenario there are municipal water and sewage line running under the Sion - Bandra Link Road and Dharavi Main Road. The following are the existing municipal water lines:

Precinct - Dharavi Koliwada

•

Along Sion - Bandra Link Road, 18” diameter water pipeline

•

Along Sion - Bandra Link Road, 24” diameter firefighting pipeline

•

Along Dharavi Main Road, 9” diameter water pipeline

•

9” water pipeline running perpendicular to two main roads in the North - East corner of Koliwada.

Lanes of Dharavi Koliwada

- Main Lanes

There are a lot of narrow lanes and alley ways in Koliwada that restrict the width allowed for introducing proper channels for plumbing infrastructure. Hence in consultation with Koli Jamat some major lanes were identified along which the Main Lane Connections can be run. These lanes were further geotagged and connected in Google My Maps. Lane names & their equivalent numbering in this proposal are as follows: Lane 1: Patil Gully Lane 2: Baddhaji Shimge Gully 1 Lane 3: Buddhaji Shimge Gully 2 Lane 4: JJ Kini Gully Lane 5: Holi Maidan Gully Lane 6: Devajya Bhagat Gully Lane 7: Shakha Gully Lane 8: Fish Market Gully

IDENTIFICATION OF JUNCTION SPACES:

LEGEND:

Existing open spaces in Dharavi Koliwada

- Open Spaces / Possible Junction Points - Main Lanes

The Dharavi Koliwada is a densely congested area with very few open spaces or junction spaces that can be used as checkpoints to maintain and repair the plumbing lines in the future. These open spaces act as nodal points for introducing inspection chambers and traps along with service lines that are to be installed. These will be used to inspect lines coming from narrow alleys that merge into the main lane connections. Since some of these also act as community spaces hence mapping the same was critical to the project.

DESIGN PROPOSAL CONCEPTUAL ZONING:

LEGEND:

- Zone 1 - Zone 2 - Existing Main Water Line - Primary Connections - Secondary Connections - Tertiary Connections - Individual Connections - Possible Junction Points

The precinct has been divided into two zones that can be serviced by the existing Municipal Lines. Zone 1 is to be connected to Municipal Line running along Dharavi Main Road and Zone 2 is to be connected to Municipal Lines along Sion - Bandra Link Road. The zoning has been done in a way that almost equal no. of junction spaces come in each zone so that the load on each zone is equivalent. Some area along the Dharavi Main Road towards the Holi Maidan has also been considered to be connected to the existing Municipal Line in the future. Dwelling units were mapped in the precinct to try to connect each household with the new system. Provision for new individual connections to be later connected to the Civic Infrastructure has also been considered.

CONCEPTUAL SECTION DESIGN:

PROPOSED LAYOUT:

LEGEND:

- Main Lane - Existing Main Lane Connections - Main Lane Connections - Sub Lane Connections - Possible Junction Points

This proposal was made keeping in mind the needs of the community which was assured by multiple meetings and discussions with the Koli Jamat and the larger community. Dharavi Koliwada, which spans over 30 acres of land, is surrounded by Sion-Bandra Link Road on one side and Dharavi Main Road on the other. The Water Supply lines have been divided into three levels, i.e. Main Lane Connections (Primary Lines), Sub Lane Connections (Secondary Lines), and Alley Connections (Tertiary Lines). The Primary Lines will be directly connected to the existing Municipal Lines and will run along the eight selected lanes.

This plumbing infrastructure will be laid in underground channels of differing widths depending on the lane widths. To design this underground channel multiple cross sections are being explored to minimize the width of the channel while trying to accommodate both the Water Supply Lines and the Sewage Lines in one section. These channels have been proposed to be made in brick masonry cladded with Kadappa stones for waterproofing. Benefits of this project for the residents in Koliwada include: •

Health concerns: The existing piping system has harmful bacteria, parasites, and other contaminants that cause illnesses and diseases.

•

Avoid leaks and burst pipes: Redoing the system will avoid leaks and burst pipes in the older overwhelmed piping system.

•

Easy maintenance of pipelines: With the introduction of inspection chambers at various junction spaces it will be easier to maintain these pipelines in the future.

DCM Daurala Gate Office Containerized Office Meerut, UP A office campus design project with shipping containers as building blocks. This project was a office campus design project in the DCM Daurala Factorry premises in Meerut. The project aimed at using shipping containers as a building module for the office blocks. The project involved site planning of the campus with respect to the exiting Baggase yard on site and with individual planning of the office blocks.

CONCEPT CONTAINERIZED OFFICE: The project is located in Daurala, Meerut. It is a redesign project for the Daurala Gate Office. The site plan had to reimagined as per the site clerances required for installation of shipping container, keeping in mind the new requirements of the client. The office blocks had to be designed within the restrictions of the shipping container. The project was based on recycling the containers that were not fit to be used for transportation. The construction process was mainly three fold with the procurement of the containers, fabricating it for providing apertures and door fixtures.
