PROJECT INTRODUCTION Project Name : Angika Denotes the use of gestures which play a significant role in conveyance of the emotion through the body movement.

At ANGIKA, dance would be a way of life, a matter of faith and belief which will be nurtured by the souls of its own people.

Angika would provide dance trainings and degrees in different dance forms. Along with the intensive dance training, they would learn aesthetics, history of dance, philosophy, spiritual thought and dance theory. Regular workshops will be conducted in yoga, meditation, theatre, etc. These workshops inculcate an awareness of interdisciplinary approach and an understanding of the interrelatedness of all arts and physical traditions of India. The institution’s program will also be designed to support the artists and help them prepare for that day when they step off the stage and into the unknown. It will not only value their artists for what they can bring to the stage but also for what they can eventually contribute when their training days are over.

INTRODUCTION What is Dance ?

Dance is a performing art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement.

This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture. Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its historical period or place of origin.

The dance can be performed to serve various functions (social, competitive, ceremonial) but it also has two distinct forms : • Theatrical Dance • Social Dance

Indian Classical Dance : Indian classical dance or 'Shastriya Devesh' is an umbrella term for various performance arts rooted in religious Hindu musical theatre styles, whose theory and practice can be traced to the Sanskrit text Natya Shastra. The number of recognised classical dances categorised into eight forms naming Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kuchipudi, Odissi, Sattriya, Mohiniyattam, kathakali and Manipuri. These dances are traditionally regional, all of them include music and recitation in local language or Sanskrit, and they represent a unity of core ideas in a diversity of styles, costumes and expression.

Origin?

Archeological evidence for early dance includes 9,000-year-old paintings in India at the Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka and Egyptian tomb paintings depicting dancing figures, dated 3300 BC. It has been proposed that before the invention of written languages, dance was an important part of the oral and performance methods of passing stories down from one generation to the next.

Why a Dance center in the eastern part of India?

Lack of classical dance institute in the eastern part of India which can offer courses in all the eight forms of dance Lack of awareness and knowledge about the traditional art forms ( both dancers and public )

Culture Culture plays an important role in the development of any nation. It represents a set of shared attitudes, values, goals and practices.

Culture and creativity manifest themselves in almost all economic, social and other activities. A country as diverse as India is symbolized by the plurality of its culture. India has one of the world’s largest collections of songs, music, dance, theatre, folk traditions, performing arts, rites and rituals, paintings and writings that are known, as the ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage’ (ICH) of humanity.

‘Cultural space is a space or community which has its own culture’

Origins of different forms of classical dance

ADITI GHOSH | A92204016043 | ANGIKA | 11

HISTORY OF DANCE Dance And Nature : In the Indian mythology dance has always been associated to nature. It is said to have originated from lord shiva, who represents the entire cosmos and performs Tandava, which symbolizes all forces of nature.

The history of Indian classical dance pervades in all parts of India and extends from early civilization to present day and can be divided into four periods :

First Period : Up to 2nd century B.C The early period can be traced in the evidences found in cave paintings and carvings. It can be seen in Jain temples of Udoygiri from 1st century B.C where carvings of dancing bodies with musicians are depicted on the walls of caves.

Second Period : 2nd century B.C – 9th century B.C It was during this period when dance from just being a mode of expression became a form of offering prayers. It was during this period that there was the first articulation of self-conscious understanding of this art which helped the compilation of “Natyashastra”.

Third Period : 10th century B.C – 18th century B.C From the 13th century manuals on dance were found from every region of the country for example, ‘Ntrittaratnavali’ of Jaya Senapati from Andhra Pradesh. Many distinctive regional styles evolved, and each region ultimately evolved a distinctive vocab e.g., Kathakali, Manipuri, Odissi etc..

Fourth Period : After 18th century A.D Ban on classical dances in most places.

However, after independence these lost dances were resurrected form fragments to make a neo artistic whole. For examples, Odissi dancers looked at the Odissi sculptures in the temples of Orissa and revived all the stances of the dance style.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR A DANCE STUDIO

Dance and Space

Dance and Stage (floor)

Dance, natural light and ventilation

ADITI GHOSH | A92204016043 | ANGIKA | 13

DANCE STUDIO REQUIREMENTS The National Dance Teachers Association (NDTA) states the following guidelines in terms of floor space per number of students and for specific needs: Floor area : • Number of participants taking part in activities • It would be unwise to allow more than 18 participants at one time • Three-square meter for each participant of primary school age and five square meters for those in the secondary and tertiary age range.

• 10m x 9m is the minimum size, providing space for eighteen adults to take part in any dance type and providing appropriate dimensions for chorographic work without a feeling of being cramped.

Vestibule : • A space of 6-12 sqm within the dance studio but separated from the dance studio floor and act as entrance via entrance of the studio.

• It accommodates space for any musical instrument device, visitor space and locker space.

Studio height : • The height of the studio relates to the circulation of the fresh air and to the opportunity to jump and lift. The opportunity for one dancer to stand on the shoulders of another and raise his/her arms in the air, makes a height of at least 5m ideal.

Sound : • Within the space excessive reverberation from hard surfaces needs to be avoided. Partial walls curtaining has acoustics as well as aesthetic value.

Interior design : • A complete wall of mirror up to the height of 2200mm.

Floor surface : • A sprung floor system (absorbs shock) • Vinyl floors ADITI GHOSH | A92204016043 | ANGIKA | 14

DANCE AND ARCHITECTURE Dance involves the movement of a body in space and Architecture requires the user to move around in space and experience it.

POSTURE DEFINING SPACE The art forms of dance and architecture share a special relationship, both define three dimensional spaces. Dance defines space in time, the dancers describes a three-dimensional spaces around herself, through the different movements and postures. Architectural space is continuously structured by the human activity that takes place in it. Architecture defines space through its built form; the spatial structure informs the movement of the human body through the spaces over time.

Koodiyattam and the Koothambalam :

Roof

Koodiyattam is a dance form traditionally performed in the state of Kerala, south west of India.

It is performed in the Koothambalamor the temple of dance ('koothu' meaning dance and 'ambalam' meaning temple), constructed within the cloister of the Temple; more precisely within the temple compound.

Stage

Facial expressions of Koodiyattam

A square platform with a separate pyramidal roof supported by pillars in the center is the main dance pavilion which is constructed as s separate structure within the large hall of Koothambalam. This roof within roof design, helps focus on the dancer's expressions, while being illuminated by the light from an oil lamp.

DANCE THERAPY

Dance therapy is specialized and psychotherapeutic use of dance for the improvement of cognitive, behavioral and physical conditions. Dance therapy is based on the idea that body and mind are co-relational, that the physical state of the body can affect the emotional and mental wellbeing both positively and negatively. Indian Classical Dances and their ancient history indicate that from the very beginnings these dances are aimed at the betterment of health of dancers. In many cases they are compared with yogis as a form of physical and mental exercise.

NRITYA GRAM : BENGALURU | INDIA | Secondary Case Study

Nritya gram is India's first modern Gurukul (residential school) for Indian classical dances and an intentional community in the form of a dance village, set up

by Odissi dancer Protima Gauri in 1990 to bring classical dance training to rural kids to popularize the classical arts of India. The residential school offers training in Indian classical dance forms, Odissi, Mohiniattam, Kathak, Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Kathakali and Manipuri, eight hours a day, six days a week for seven year, following the ancient Guru-shishya tradition. Designed by Gerard da Cunha, the community is situated near Hesaraghatta Lake 30 km away from Bangalore. Today the Nritya gram Dance Ensemble has performed across India, in many countries abroad. Currently it fields and grow their own food.

"It is a community of dancers in a forsaken place amidst nature. A place where nothing exists, except dance. Places where you breathe, eat, sleep, dream, talk, imagine - dance. A place where all the five senses can be refined to perfection. A place where dancers drop negative qualities such as jealousy, smallmindedness, greed and malice to embrace their colleagues as sisters and support each other in their journey towards becoming dancers of merit.“ – Protima Gauri Concept :

Gerard Da Cunha wanted to reflect the vision of the founder Protima Gauri through this design. He started designing the gurukul keeping in mind the connection of nature with the built structure in order to bring a village like serene environment.

Gurukul Design : The dance classes take place in the halls attached with residences of the teachers like - the Mohiniattam gurukul, the Odissi gurukul and the kathak gurukul. The Odissi and the Mohiniattam gurukuls have closed walls from the 3 sides having small window openings and the fourth side is towards the courtyard and is kept open for natural ventilation purpose. On the other hand, kathak gurukul has semi opened arched walls.

The design of each gurukul consists of four elements: 1. Guru‘s residence.

2. Male student‘s residence.

3. Female student‘s residence.

4. Practice hall.

The four elements were gathered around a courtyard, which became a gathering Point, with the stairs to the roof placed here as an element to sit and watch the Activity taking place in the practice hall. The use of stone slab roofs determined the Simple rectilinear geometry of the residences.

Key learnings : PROS : • Use of locally available materials makes the project cost friendly.

• The use of materials give a sense of rural touch by blending nature with the built environment.

• Vegetables and fruits are organically grown here making the campus eco-friendly and they are also creating food forest using permaculture principles.

• They also practice Vermi-composting, waste-management and alternative energy use aiming to become totally self-reliant.

• The presence of temple around the practice cottages act as a focal point hence creating a sense of focus.

• All the gurukuls, cottages are naturally lit and ventilated.

• Open planning concept and built-in vernacular architectural style.

• Good amount of open green spaces and trees.

• Interaction of outdoor and indoor spaces.

• Naturally, shaded walkways due to the presence of excessive trees.

• Accessible granite flat roofs to accommodate spectators when crowd increases.

CONS : • Semi-public spaces like the yoga center and the gurukuls are placed near to the entrance which Causes a hindrance to the privacy, could have been placed further away.

• Guest accommodation is placed in the center of the site, probably the center position could have been related to more gurukul activities and the accommodation could have been placed at one end.

BHARAT BHAVAN : BHOPAL | INDIA | Primary Case Study

Established in 1982, Bharat Bhavan Bhopal is an architecture monument designed by Ar. Charles Correa. One of the most unique national institutes in India, Bharat Bhavan is a center for performing and visual arts. The design of the complex is a product of Correa’s mission to establish a modern architectural style specific to India and distinct from European Modernism. Drawing on the plentiful source material provided by the rich architectural heritage of his home country, at Bharat Bhavan Correa produced a building for the modern era which manages to also remain firmly rooted in the vernacular traditions of India’s past.

Charles Correa used a Grid pattern for designing Bharat Bhavan Bhopal in such a way that it creates a different level of movement throughout the site.

“A journey through courtyard” is achieved in Bharat Bhavan.

Charles Correa designed this building in such a way that it reflects Bhopal’s own organizational layout.

The courtyard provides light and ventilation to the sunken covered spaces in Bharat Bhavan.

The amphitheater where open-air performance takes place is designed in such a way that it overlooks the lake view.

Coffered slabs were made to avoid the columns.

Outer façade stone walls were 380 mm wide.

Slopes were made for easy passage for handicapped.

Flower beds were made on the roofs of the buildings.

Visitor enter at the highest level and walk down to a Pedestrian spine flanked by a pattern of courtyards.

Each of the part of the building is distinct yet flows easily into one another.

Inner walls were 340 mm wide plastered on both sides.

Landscaping :

• •

The landscape of the Bhavan is the built form itself that gently terminates at the lakefront forming into an amphitheater with the cityscape itself for a backdrop reflecting in the shimmering water of the lake.

Roofs of all the buildings were covered through grass making the view beautiful as well as keeping the building cooler. Open to sky courtyards were made to manage crowd.

Anhad : Anhad is a Library Of Classical & Folk Music of India.

Vagarth : Vagarth consists of Indian poetry, library, and archive.

The outdoor spaces at Bharat bhavan are physical manifestations of the concept of “empty space,” a recurring theme both in India's visual culture and its philosophy.

The courtyards provide a contemplative void, enhanced by the placing of sculptures in their center. These act a meditative focal point for the viewer.

Bharat bhavan Bhopal covers a variety of art forms including tribal art, a library of Indian poetry, gallery of contemporary art, workshop of sculpture.

ADITI GHOSH | A92204016043 | ANGIKA | 52

Key learnings : • • • • • • • • • • • •

The natural contour of the site has been used to create a series of courtyards and terrace gardens around which different types of facilities designed.

The transition of spaces from one to another is interesting as there is an element of curiosity at every level.

Concept of courtyards reflects the idea of correa’s maze or puzzle planning in Bharat bhavan Bhopal.

A journey through open to sky courtyard and semi-open spaces creates a type of experience that reflects the idea of correa’s Jawahar kala Kendra.

Bharat bhavan Bhopal is designed in such a way that from the entrance you directly enter to terrace garden and with the help of a staircase and ramp you can circulate the entire site.

When you enter the site, you can't feel it as a building or structure, because of its idea of courtyards.

Sense of direction can be felt.

Datum due to different levels can be experienced.

Repetition of form, square arranged in different ways.

Free flow circulation in the premises avoids accumulation at certain points.

Terrace garden overlooking to the open space and courtyard creates a visual experience in the site.

The steps in the courtyards also act as a seating/ relaxing space when visitors are tired.

Shukra

Concept : The plan of Jaipur city based on the nine square Yantra in which one square is displaced and two central squares combined. The squares are defined by 8m high wall, symbolic of the fortification wall along the Jaipur old city. One of the squares is pivoted to recall the original city plan and to create the entrance. Each square was linked to the planet as per the characteristics of the planet and its astrological values and the functionality of the square. This ‘Navgrah’ concept with its energy values their favorable color, quality and the favorable functionality to each planet with square kept in mind while designing and allocation of spaces. Partly open courtyards and the traditional design elements of Rajasthan have been incorporated in the complex.

The second most significant feature which was adopted in this square was the spectacular play with the light and the shadow. As the square was partially open to sky and the side had the full height glazing in it, the partial open roof was treated with the architectural feature pergolas. The cut out was designed in such a way that the corridor will always remain in shade and has the pond in corner which would reduce the effect of the harsh sun to the library.

Madhyavarti

Jawahar kala Kendra has three performing areas : •

Madhyavarti – an open air theatre designed after a traditional Rajasthan stepwell where steps are used for sittings.

• A regular closed theatre namely Rangayan for modern theatre and black box .

• Krishnayan where intimate performances take place.

The Centre is frequently occupied with artists and arts loving people. Many exhibitions and performances by local artists are displayed at the Centre. The annual festivals of classical dance and music are held in the Centre. The Centre hosts many workshops of dance and music.

ADITI GHOSH | A92204016043 | ANGIKA | 59

Key learnings : PROS: • The buildings in a contemporary metaphorical replication of the basic plan of the city of Jaipur, based on the Vaastu purusha mandala.

• The architect in his attempt to create a brand image for the historical city, has tried to get the essence of the existing form but superficially.

• The place has an amazing interplay of light , shadow and colors, evoking emotions in the user and invite him/her to move further.

• The spaces flow as a narrative and changes the moods of the user.

• The open-air theatre is only good to look at, it is enclosed by the high walls which create acoustic and ventilation problems at the time of crowd.

• The high walls with no fenestration in the façade makes the building enclosed and is does not open to the city, however, within the building the activities are disintegrated but combine to a heterogeneous mixture of various cultural activities happening individually.

• Since, the climate is hot and semi-arid, the architect has dealt with this by creating a courtyard so that it draws in air from all the sides.

• In terms of spatial organization, vertical zoning has been done taking private spaces to higher ground and having cultural activities at lower levels.

CONS: • The built structure is surrounded by high walls symbolizing fortification to add to the concept of built forms mostly seen in the area, but again it creates a visual disconnection to the site surroundings.

(all the sites in the case studies are away from the hustle and bustle of the city) Both the sites are placed on an Institutional land according to HIDCO land use map, thus making it an appropriate site for a dance institute.

Site 1 has abundance of greenery. It is located in between dedicated green areas and open spaces. But site 2 does not have this advantage.

Low density built around the site at a distant; hence the site will not receive any obstruction regarding sunlight and wind.

Both the sites are well connected with the city level transit nodes.

Natural features on the site : • No existing trees on the site.

• The type of soil is clayey alluvial soil.

• Plain topography.

• The abundance of trees near the waterbody will cool the air around them.

• The wind pattern near large bodies of water is generated by the heat gain, heat loss, and heat storage variations between land and water. Water will have more stable temperatures. The wind is usually moving toward the land during the day when the land is heating up faster than the water and when the water is absorbing solar heat. At night, the direction is reversed, with the breezes flowing from the land, as it cools, to the water, as it radiates stored heat to the night sky.

The site receives shade throughout the day from Northwest to Northeast, so all the outdoor related activities could be placed on the following side and not on the southern part of the site.

The open spaces shall be fragmented to small courts to reduce heat gain.

The blocks should be placed on the southeast and southwest side to receive maximum sunlight throughout the day which would in turn reduce the intake of artificial lighting during the day and should also have a faced treatment to cut of the direct southern sunlight.

Since there is absence of any built forms around the site, the site doesn’t receive any shadow.

High built density on the southeast and southwest part of the site, since it receives maximum sunlight.

Low density built on the northwest and northeast part of the site, since it receives maximum shade and not high density built as it would make the buildings much cooler in winters.

Prevalent wind direction - southwest

Dance is all about fluidity and nature too. Thus, merging the two aspects and creating a transparency between nature and dance. Encouraging the enjoyment of light and the externally framed views of landscape; wide hallways allowing the skylights help to make the most of the daylight, wide shaded walkways are a few initial conceptual ideas.

DESIGN CONCEPT ANALYSIS

Circular shapes to mimic nature with the ecosystem and to have a free flow of movement pattern

DESIGN IDEAS • • • • • • •

Curved walls to enclose more volume at lower material cost than straight walls.

Curved walls allow free flow of wind without causing any hindrance.

Arch structures used since they inherently possess the ability to eliminate tensile stresses in encompassing an open space, owing to their shape. Arches have a tremendous amount of structural strength and can span a large open space without supporting structures.

Brick jali walls or perforated brick architecture. This allows the free flow of natural air into the interiors thus efficiently regulating the temperature. During the day, the perforations create intricate patterns of light and shadows.

Small water bodies around the site has been incorporated which help in microclimatic control through evaporative cooling.

All the buildings are associated with adjoining recreational spaces.

In-built seating has been incorporated.

BRICK WALLS WITH BRICK STIFFINERS : WALLS • • • • •

• • • • •

Brick is low maintenance It is weatherproof It is sustainable It can be carbon neutral Bricks offer thermal properties, i.e., during summer bricks keep the interior cool while during winter’s the wall store the heat and radiate the heat back inside.

Reusable and Recyclable Highly fire resistant Economical (Raw material is easily available) Hard and durable Compressive strength is good enough for ordinary construction

CONCRETE SLABS AND FLOORS • • • • • • •

Durable Energy efficient Damp resistant Cost of maintenance is low Fire resistant Economical Sustainable

TRANSPARENT WOOD : WINDOW PANELS • • • • • • • • • • •

Low density compared to glass High optical transmittance Low thermal conductivity Outstanding toughness Used for load-bearing windows It is biodegradable and environmentally friendly as regular wood.

Transparent wood has all the strength of opaque lumber.

It does not shatter on impact and is stronger than glass.

It is better when at light distribution and eliminates glare.

It helps keep a building at more consistent temperature and make it easier to reach higher energy efficiency. This is because wood has low thermal conductivity.

Another advantage of transparent wood over glass for structural applications is that the ductility and work to fracture are higher.

SPRUNG FLOOR : DANCE STUDIOS

• •

Floor design is an incredibly important aspect of dance studio installation as an unmodified hard concrete floor could cause serious injuries and long-term complaints for dancers using the space.

The top layer of a sprung floor system (absorbs shock) is a performance surface. This can be either a natural material such as solid wood, engineered wood or rubber, or it can be a synthetic surface such as vinyl, linoleum, or polyurethane.

INSPIRATION The form of a leaf has been chosen for the roof, to blend the studio with nature. Dance studios require higher volume; hence this form helps in doing so. The thought behind the leaf structure was that when the wind blows, it makes the leaves dance in its own way, the movement of the leaves is not rigid, it is free flowing which shows the presence of rhythm in nature. In a similar manner, when a dancer dances, he or she engages themselves with this free-flowing movement which also depicts rhythm. Hence, there couldn’t be any better way to mimic this free flow of movement which relates dance and nature in a very beautiful way.

SUSTAINABLE FEATURES HEAT ISLAND EFFECT - NON-ROOF It has been planned to use high SRI material like light grey color concrete paver block at the driveway and light grey color grass pavers at the parking areas to reduce the effect of heat islands on the non-roof areas.

HEAT ISLAND EFFECT – ROOF It has been planned to cover more than 50% of the net exposed roof area with high reflective materials which are Tiles or Paints with more that 70% SRI value to reduce the Heat Island Effect on the Roof Area.

DESIGN FOR DIFFERENTLY ABLED Accessible entrances & ramps, Accessible toilet for the differently abled peoples Preferred parking space has been provided.

RAINWATER HARVESTING Rainwater catchments have been provided to collect the storm runoff and rainwater.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE

Wastewater will be treated and reused as flushing water to reduce the usage of Raw water. STP will be planned in the design of the project as per the requirement.

DISTRIBUTED POWER GENERATION For power backup, the DGs will be installed. The DGs will run on Biofuel as well as Diesel.

SUSTAINABLE FEATURES ENERGY PERFORMANCE

• Brick walls • Tiles/Paint with high SRI value at roof levels • Transparent wood for the windows Above points will be implemented with lesser U-Value to reduce the total heat gain inside the building, which will further help to reduce the electrical consumption by HVAC System.

ORGANIC WASTE MANAGEMENT Vermi composting will be practiced which will use organic waste to convert into compost which will in turn be used as a manure for farming.

DAY LIGHTING & MICROCLIMATE 75% of the regularly occupied spaces will have enhanced daylight. Less walls and more openings have been proposed to incorporate this feature. Small water bodies around the site has been incorporated which help in microclimatic control through evaporative cooling.

CROSS VENTILATION Most of the habitable spaces will have cross ventilation. More openings have been proposed to incorporate this feature. Brick jaliwalls, a perforated brick screen which utilizes natural air movement to cool the homes interior and create intricate patterns of light and shadow.

LOCAL MATERIALS All the construction materials will be local materials, to reduce the overall cost of construction.
