01. Ports Of Tomorrow

SITE SELECTED : TADRI , UTTARKANNADA

AREA SELECTED : 30ACRE

CLIMATE : TROPICAL MONSOON CLIMATE

The project is based on the governmental proposal for developing Tadri Port in Uttara Kannada as an all-weather greenfield commercial port, initiated by the Karnataka government through a Special Purpose Vehicle (Tadadi Port Limited), with a planned cargo handling capacity of 62 MTPA, while addressing ecological and community concerns tied to its sensitive coastal location.

JUSTIFICATION :

Strategic Location: On the Arabian Sea near the Aghanashini estuary, offering natural deepwater access.

Development Scope: Underdeveloped port with past government interest; ideal for new, integrated design.

Connectivity: Close to NH-66, Konkan Railway, and key hinterland routes.

Site selection criteria

• Regional access – Road & rail connectivity

• Community context – Livelihood-based design scope

• Design potential – Scope for balanced port + public interface

• Environmental value – Rich biodiversity, ideal for eco-zoning

COSTAL REGULATIONS

CRZ-I (Ecologically Sensitive Areas)

These are the most protected coastal zones, including:

• Mangroves (with buffer zone of 50 meters if area >1000 sq.m)

• Coral reefs, sand dunes, mudflats

• Turtle nesting areas, bird nesting sites

• National parks, sanctuaries, biosphere reserves

• Heritage and archaeological sites

• The area between Low Tide Line (LTL) and High Tide Line

What is allowed?

Very limited construction is allowed, and only for:

Pipelines and transmission lines

Ports and harbor activities (like jetties, slipways, wharves)

National defense or atomic energy-related structures

Weather monitoring stations

Trans-harbor sea links (without blocking tidal flow)

Important: Every activity here needs Environmental Clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF).

Other Zones (for context)

CRZ-II: Already developed urban areas near the shoreline (with infrastructure like roads and drainage).

CRZ-III: Undeveloped or rural coastal areas.

-Since Tadadi falls under CRZ-I, only port-related infrastructure like jetties and slipways is allowed, and only with environmental clearance. This supports sensitive design around natural mangroves and community access.

• Use of Traditional Roofs and Materials: Traditional sloped roofs and local materials are used to connect the design with the local culture and climate.

• Natural Ventilation with Louvers and Shutter Windows: Louvers and shutters help in keeping spaces cool by allowing better air circulation and reducing the

Enhancing Public Spaces through Interaction and Views

“Creating common spaces within public zones encourages interaction, making the spaces more lively and active.

Adding decks and viewing platforms overlooking the landscape further enhances the experience, offering visual connections and inviting people to engage with the surroundings.”

• The above image highlights a part of the site with fewer mangroves, indicated by the smaller green patches.

• This area offers easier accessibility due to its favorable river depth, making it suitable for vessel docking.

• Selecting this zone would also minimize the need for forest clearance.

• As shown in the legend, salinity levels are consistent across the river, indicating uniform water quality throughout the site.

• The market is designed with open spaces to allow smooth and unrestricted movement, accommodating people arriving from multiple directions.

• The openness enhances natural air circulation, helping to reduce the buildup of ﬁsh odors and creating a more pleasant environment for visitors.

• Sustainability through Reuse: Every year, 1–2 million shipping containers are thrown away. By reusing them, we reduce waste and make the project more eco-friendly.

• Contextual Integration: Since the port already deals with cargo and containers, using them in the design feels natural and ﬁts the overall theme.

• Cost and Time Efﬁciency: Containers provide a ready-made structural system, drastically reducing both material costs and construction time — a major advantage in a busy, operational port environment.

• Strong and Long-Lasting: Containers are built to survive tough weather at sea, so they will stay strong and safe in the coastal environment.

• Flexibility and Modular Growth: Containers support modular, scalable designs, allowing spaces like markets, kiosks, or workshops to expand, rearrange, or adapt easily over time according to user needs.

CONCEPT

The spatial organization, the spaces reflect the influence of another type of coral, with the interaction between cells inspiring the integration of water connections and puriﬁcation systems.

CONTRADICTION

Much like coral growth, the building evolves structurally, mirroring the concept of future development.

The growth pattern of coral colonies, occurring both in clusters and as single units, is emulated in our building design. The structure features a single podium with distinct entries to various blocks.

Coral reefs, known for buffering coasts against waves, storms, and floods, play a protective role. Their structure acts as a barrier, preventing loss of life, property damage, and erosion. This growth form of coral colonies, evolving into various morphologies, mirrors the future development in the design, suggesting an expansion and growth in structural terms.

3. Climatic Considerations:

• Sun Path: Proper orientation is required to optimize usability and minimize heat buildup.

• Wind: Utilize prevailing wind directions for natural ventilation, reducing mechanical cooling needs.

• Rainfall: Mysore receives an annual average rainfall of **798 mm**, necessitating effective drainage systems to prevent waterlogging.

4. Cultural and Historical Relevance:

• The Town Hall is a 100+ year-old structure (built in 1921) and serves as a key cultural node in Mysore.

• Iconic landmarks like the Clock Tower (200m) and Chamaraja Circle (250m) enrich the heritage value of the precinct.

• Development should reflect Mysore’s cultural essence, emphasizing traditional art, architecture, and community engagement.

• Historic marketplace known for its vibrant local trade, including flowers, spices, and fresh produce.

• Positioned northeast of Town Hall, it drives signiﬁcant pedestrian movement and adds cultural and economic vibrancy to the precinct.

Explanation of Site Dimensions and Topography:

The dimensions shown in the image depict the site’s layout. The topography is relatively flat, with only a 2-meter difference in elevation across the area, ensuring minimal impact on the design and construction. This allows for flexibility in site development without extensive grading or modiﬁcation.

Impact of the Town Hall on Cultural Buildings:

The Town Hall, currently used as an auditorium for cultural performances, plays a central role in the local arts scene. Its presence offers an opportunity for new cultural buildings to enhance the area’s cultural offering. New developments can complement the Town Hall, creating a cohesive cultural district. By supporting various events and activities, such buildings can attract more visitors and help establish the area as a key cultural hub.

Mysore Palace.

• A colonial-era building (1921) serving as a civic and cultural hub for events, performances, and exhibitions. Centrally located in the precinct, it connects Mysore’s heritage identity with modern urban developments.

• Doddha Gadiyara (Big Clock Tower), built in 1885, serves as a prominent historical landmark in the city. It acts as a key focal point in the precinct, linking Mysore’s rich heritage with the evolving urban landscape.

04. Urban Documentation

Based on the trafﬁc survey conducted to analyze transportation counts at Devraj Market and its impact on Chikka Gadiayara (Public Square), the data revealed the following patterns: The highest outflow movement was observed for two-wheelers, with 383 in the afternoon and 297 in the evening, while the total inflow was 245. Four-wheelers showed a higher inflow than outflow in the evening, with 274 recorded inflows. Heavy vehicles and goods transport were more prevalent in the morning, whereas carts were predominantly used for outflow movements.

During the festival season, the public square near Chikka Gadiyara becomes a bustling epicenter of activity, with vibrant decorations and lively crowds gathering to celebrate. However, the surge in visitors often leads to significant traffic congestion in the surrounding areas, making navigation challenging. The situation is further exacerbated by occasional rains, which not only add to the chaos but also create difficulties for both pedestrians and vehicles, amplifying the festive hustle and bustle. Popular times to visit the public square. This picture shown during the festive season.

The square serves as a peaceful seating area for locals in the morning, with vendors stationed along the road edges.
