Marks are given for (a)the drawing details, clarity and (b) the involvement in correction process. Which lead to thorough knowledge in preparation of sanction drawing

Proposal A Pyramid-model development is proposed, by maintaining FAR and coverage in a balanced state.

North up, Plinth plan, Set back

Debate on FAR and Coverage -Team Presentation of Impact of in-crease/decrease in FAR Followed by Debate on “Should FAR be Increased?” And its impact on Indian cities. Points Discussed: Spreading built up area can lead to maximised utilisation space Damage from natural disaster is less due to increase in the FAR High raised building can save the exist-ing vegetations in the land, since the FAR is less Cost management is a factor to con-sider, in high raised buildings common amenities are shared resulting to reduction of cost in totality. Many current buildings provide vegeta-tion or garden included in the floor plans there by opening the possibilities of green or nature friendly massive structures.

Vegetation provided in the ground is not adequate for high raised build-ings, since its interaction with build-ing is less Utilisation of land is more in spread buildings since its uses the maximum build up area By the involvement of common areas the social level interaction will be high in settlement s in the high the raised buildings Privacy is a major factor to be dis-cussed in the high raised building settlements since the individual pri-vacy is sometimes challenged Spread building is not futuristic since the land should be preserved for the future generations High raised buildings are not good sellers when it comes to reselling. Waste management in the high raised building are sometimes a major issue due to more occupation in less land and there will be problems on ground water supply

The following points were noted and discussed from the above session 1. Each square feet counts 2. Importance of optimum design 3. Selection of Beneficiaries 4. Economically equal status people

have almost same requirements 5. Importance of project viability

with respect to socio, economical, ecological aspects

Session 2: Fore noon & Afternoon Second week

The studio is divided into four groups, and decided to continue it throughout the semester Exercise: Literature Case Study (Library) Seminar Each groups had studied one low rise Apartment, and presented their observations. The study emphasis on the view point of the student in a phenomenological way. GROUP 1: Kings house apartments Area 80000sqft and located in Bangalore The building was designed considering the existing vegetation present in the site . The design of building tackles the existing byelaws that is the limitation of FAR (12m ht) And it is a bioclimatic design. Cross winds Apartments Location: Hyderabad, Area: 8300sq.m Luxury Apartment Challenge: Highly slope ,Contour Site Advantage: Utilization of Space ( Contours Used as Parking lot) It is observed that the even though the architects claim its a green apartment, it is not really because of the large area of each units (5000 sq.ft ) GROUP 2 ZAKIR HUSSAINS CORPORA-TIVE BUILDING, New Delhi, Architect: Raj Rewal The Zakir Hussain co-operative Housing is a complex of buildings consisting of 210 units of apartments for members of the society, most of them Muslims. The complex was started in 1979 and completed in 1984, and it was a great proving ground for advanced concepts later in other high density buildings such as accommodations for the Asian Game Village.

The complex of 210 units, constructed of various types of high density housing and larger flats are contained inside the towers. GROUP 3 LOTUS GREEN APARTMENTS , Location: Gurgaon GROUP 4 TARA APARTMENTS, Delhi ARCHITECT: Charles Correa Area:3.7 acre, high-density, low rise building, -160 units. TYPOLOGY: The central space is predominant in the design of the complex and most private spaces look inwards. It also creates a balanced volume within the existing fabric due to a limited height and building form. The buildings turn their back on the street to mitigate noise and dust from the heavy flow of vehicles. Existing in a row, with a central garden, the buildings have a strong Indian character, visible through the design and materials incorporated. STUDIOS 18 SANJAY PURI ARCHITECTS LOCATION: Rajasthan spread over 36 acres. This layout is being created for the working people of a new cement manufacturing plant. The residential units are interspersed within the existing contours along organic streets that weave through the site.

GROUP 2 1 BHK => 597.18 sqft => 55.5 m2 1 living, 1 dining, single bedroom and kitchen, 1 common toilet, balcony. 2 BHK => 492.57 sqft => 87.6m2 1 living, 1 dining, 2 bedrooms with one having attached bathroom, 1 common toilet, kitchen, balcony. 3BHK=> 1239.55sqft => 115.2m2 3 bedrooms with all attached bath-rooms , single living and dining, kitchen and balcony. GROUP 3 1BHK =:> 450 sqft => 41.8m2 1 bedroom – attached bathroom, Combined dining and living, Open kitchen 2BHK=> 650 to 700 sqft => 65m2 2 bedrooms with one having attached bathroom, 1 common bathroom , partitioned living and dining, kitchen and living size was slightly increased. 3BHK => 1050sqft => 97.5m2 3 bedrooms with 2 having attached bathroom , 1 common bathroom, separate living and dining , increased size of kitchen and living compared to 2 BHK. GROUP 4 1BHK => 595.75 sqft =>55.3 m2 common dining and living, 1 common bathroom 1 bedroom and kitchen. 2BHK => 735sqft => 68.1m2 Common l i v ing and d in ing , 2 bedrooms wi t h a t t ached bathrooms, size of the kitchen increased. 3 BHK => 985.7 sqft => 91.5 m2 Separate living and dining, 3 bed-rooms with attached bathrooms, size of the kitchen is increased compared

Exercise: DATA COLLECTION FOR APARTMENTS. The four groups were asked to do data collection on low rise apartments and find optimum area for 1BHK, 2BHK and 3BHK. Even though the Each group tried different methodologies in area calculations, the results were almost same. The following books were referred. Neufert Architects Data, Time Saver Standards for Architectural Design : Technical

Data for Professional Practice Time-Saver Standards for Inte-

rior Design and Space Planning The optimum areas and the method of calculation are: GROUP 1 1BHK => 401.5 sqft =>37.3 m2 Combined Dining and living , 1 common toilet, 1 bedroom , 1 kitchen 2BHK => 547sqft.=> 50.83 m2 Combined living and dining, 2 bedrooms, 1 common toilet with size slightly increased, kitchen area increased. 3BHK => 805.5 sqft =>74.86 m2 Separate living and dining , 2 toilets with one attached to bedroom, 3 bedrooms, since more family members are expected the kitchen size is increased than the 2 BHK.

heritage of trees. The land is occupied with wide varieties of vegetation which proves its fertility. It has an existing pond which is clear source for fresh water. CHALLENGE: since the site has wide varieties of trees a construction without hurting them is a major task. The site has a maintained cool climate because of the flora it had. A large scale construction inside it may change its character. GROUP 3 LOCATION: near Aryas hotel, Polayathode kollam Total area: 2.14 acres The site is located in the foremost and developing part of the Kollam city. It is one of the flourish-ing city in the district. Coconut trees are planted along the borders of the site. The site shares its boundaries with commercial and residential areas. CHALLENGE: The site is located in one of the traffic black spot in Kerala. Water level is about 3 meters deep. GROUP 4 LOCATION: Cantonment maidan, kollam Total area: 6.5 acres The site is owned by Kollam mun ic ipa l corpora t ion . The infrastructure of the surroundings of the site are SN college Lal Bahadur stadium ,Municipal town hall, and Jawaharlal Nehru park. The site has more public interference. CHALLENGE: it is a public property and any development proposed should give benefit to public also.

SITE STUDY AND ANALYSIS The four groups were asked to find individual sites with a mini-mum area of 1.50 acres for the apart-ment design. GROUP 1 LOCATION: Link road opposite to Ashtamudi lake, Kollam Area:2.8 acres The site has high feasibility and is situated in the heart of Kollam town. Services like KSRTC bus stand, police station, KTDC boat jetty, hospitals are nearby. The site has a perfect view to the Ashtamudi lake. Plain ground with laterite soil. CHALLENGE: site is next to a slum. High land value, The site has a value of about 35 lakhs per cent. Ground water level is at 3.00 meter below ground line. Waste disposal is a major problem. GROUP 2 LOCATION: Alumkadavu, Karunagapally, Total area: 1.77 acres The site is located in Alumkadavu which is famous for its

FORM EVOLUTION PROCESS

“ The design studio environment has remained the same throughout for years and it is found that the ongoing changes in architecture education are not aligned with today׳s fast-changing architectural practice. It is observed that the students show no interest in the design process and tend to focus on form making. As a result, efforts to teach design methods and to restore the balance between creativity and rationality in the design process have failed. The reason is related to the difficulties associated with the implicit nature of conventional design methods. These difficulties, which are common in architecture schools, include the lack of a clearly defined design methodology and the misunderstood role of the systematic approach to design in the studio. From this point of view we developed an effective design methodology, in which the students can think and experience the space 3-Dimensionally. The spatial arrangements are done with the help of block models, and the form is evolved from this process. The plan is imposed into the block model and solved the issues by redesigning it. The students participation is entrusted from the beginning of the project. Instead of giving a project brief at first, they are allowed to formulate it by themselves under practical situation. It made the studio more dynamic with debates and talks.” - from Design Chair

PROJECT PROPOSIL

GROUP 1 Site : LINK ROAD, NEAR KSRTC BUS STAND, KOLLAM

The project is to design a low rise apartment in Kollam urban area. The land value of the site is very high, public services are close by, a single residential complex alone is not advisable and to make the project economically viable commercial facilities are added along with residential building making it as a MXD development. Based on the economical development anticipated through the project, neighboring people may get job opportunities inside the campus making it a social responsible development

Due to the vicinity of Ashamed lake and Kollam boat jetty, the designer has the potential to provide activities attracting domestic tourists.

A slum improvement scheme can be proposed by providing job opportunities to those people living in slum condition near the site-giving jobs in commercial areas or allocating spaces for urban farming, inside the campus.

GROUP 2 Site :NEAR SN SCHOOL, KARUNAGAPALLI, KOLLAM

The project is to design a low rise apartment for a retirement community, and as per the basic site analysis, there is a scope of sustainable eco-friendly housing typology in the proposed site.

A development of a new living type has to be

introduced. This systematic living atmosphere will include living shelter for both human and other living being associated with. In this system of approach 100% self sustainable, symbiotic living condition is guaranteed.

The building will be concentrated on its vernacular

material for its construction and will have a ZERO CARBON EMISSION ZONE and restricting carbon and carbon containing materials. In this new system the development of a modifying and futuristic waste management system is introduced and it will be zoned as a ZERO PLASTIC ZONE T too.

This system also includes completely organic

food resources with respect to the occupation and 100% solar powered energy is also in consideration.

GROUP-4 Site :NEAR,SN COLLEGE KOLLAM, ALONG NH66

The project is to design a low rise apartment,

The site is owned by Kollam, municipal corporation and currently used as exhibition ground. The proposal is a pilot project to activate the CBD by welcoming residents into urban land.

Considering the fact that any private intervention in

the site will drag the attention of the public, a new policy has to be adopted as “GIVING BACK”- hence the proposal should come up with spaces used for the residential purpose also should be used for some public activities such as “PARK”. The problem lies on the effective tackling of public-private activities, in the same campus.

“ The key to great design is capturing

the spirit of the client and the essence of

the nature “
