URBAN REGENERATION

- REGENERATION OF CITY CORE THROUGH REVIVAL OR URBAN RELIGIOUS SPACE

The design brief focused on the understanding and analysing the Jammu city. The first step was to document the site areas specified to groups and later idenitfy the problems and solutions to improve the current condition of the city.

The question or a little research that one could pursue was about the common theme of ‘TRANSFORMATION’ of the place over time.

TEMPLES OF JAMMU

The city of Jammu is known for the city boasts to contain more than 100 temples amongst which, the major attraction is the Raghunth Ji Temple, located at the centre of Jammu Old City. Other temples which add to the rich heritage of Jammu are Ranbireshwar Ji, Machail Mata, Bawe Wali Mata Mandir, Peer Kho Cave Temple etc among many others.

The Temple is dedicated to various Gods and Goddesses connected with the epic Ramayana which make it a rare site to behold. The temple consists of ahatas with around 12 lakh shaligrams.The main sanctuary is dedicated to Lord Vishnu’s eighth incarnation the Rama.

TOD HOUSING

The design brief demanded a proposal where we must cater the stakeholders of the residents living nearby and the public commuting in the contextual area daily.

In order to reduce the daily travel distance of the individuals, job opportunities and daily needs of the residents are taken care of by providing commercial centres, kiosks and ammenties within the plot area. Road hierarachy is planned out keeping the public and private transports in mind.

After a study of the site and its context, the stakeholders were identified and reisdential typologies were designed and proposed.

A well maintained green and secure housing was designed for the Senior citizens, Studio apartment cluster was provided for Students and daily workers with well utilised spaces as per the minimal needs, High-rise clusters were designed to cater the MIG with the ammenties like basement parking, sports facilities, lounges and banquet hall, and green patches. PSP and commercial spaces were also proposed within the proximity of all the residential clusters.

Trees retained : 76/ 92
