NATIONAL OCEANARIUM

PANJIM - GOA BACHELOR THESIS PROJECT - 2023

Project Brief:

Oceanarium, saltwater aquarium for displaying marine animals and plants, particularly oceanic, or pelagic, fishes and mammals. It serves as a center for public entertainment and education and scientific study. Most oceanariums are located in coastal areas.The main aim of the oceanarium is to get the feel of walking on the sea bed getting a clear view of the spectacular water world.

Why ?

Panaji is a new commercial hub in goa, other than development and government authorities most of the commercial sector is situated here. However, the city still lacks co-sharing spaces. There is no state of art facility available in the country for appropriate scientific research and awareness. Rich in marine life over 24,000 marine species and 1/4th of the world's marine mammal population found in Indian Ocean Research is a necessity for various Oceanic pollution due to Toxic wastes, shipping pollution, Oil spills, Waste Disposal, excessive Fishing. The awareness of the vast ocean and its potentials is something that most of the people who live in a country with one of the biggest coastlines don't have proper knowledge about India to date doesn’t have a single Oceanarium despite all the resources available

How !

This thesis will be an exploration National Oceanarium as a threshold space to the city with the help of built-fabric and articulation of added functions which harmoniously stitches the city, while providing comfortable and efficient visitors experience with the essence of excitement of ocean and sea, also keeping in mind other determinant factors such as movement, enjoyment, leisure, accessibility etc

Goa V/S Oceanarium

How can we create a new entrance for Oceanarium, where all public functions, restaurants, café, toilets, ticket sale, etc. are integrated at the same time can give the visitor a easy overview of the park and where to go!.

Entrance function and gates

The function are spread out along the border between Oceanarium and rest of the Goa.

Entrance plaza

The built is bend to make space for central arrival square.

Ticket passage

The build is wrapped around itself to create a natural entrance gate

View

When arriving to Oceanarium the visitor can either chose to climb the arrival building and get an overview of the landscaping or to walk straight into central square.

Built landscape

The arrival building and the main square are hard paved on the inside and blending into the landscape on the other block side

Central square

Placed like individual block framing a square, they allow daylight and views to pass between them while letting people enter from multiple directions and allow shortcut passage through the blocks, like crossing the plaza

Energizing The Ground Level

We consolidated all the elements of the program that have an outward- oriented, everyday –like urban character around a central space i.e. café, OAT, ticket counter, admin offices and loading & unloading.

Precincts Within A Precinct

Volumes are grouped according to the relationship between each program. Separation of volumes accommodates circulation while defining each boxes as a separate entity within the structure..

URBAN VILLAGE STUDY – SOHANA SAS NAGAR | MOHALI SEM 9 PROJECT - 2022

Project Brief:

Sohana is a lucrative destination for low-income migrants coming to work in the Chandigarh city-region providing affordable rental housing. The Gurudwara, Singh Shahida provides free food (langar) from their community kitchen on a daily basis. It is a historical Gurudwara which receives thousands of devotees from the far interiors of rural and urban Punjab on a monthly basis.

Urbanisation has been perilous for Sohana. It has led to the increased inequality, degradation of environment and a disintegration of the community. Additionally, there has been some hazardous decision-making by the local government.

Sohana and other urban villages in the periphery of Chandigarh reflect similar patterns of development. There are huge populations of migrants in these villages who live in rental housing here. It is through their labour and incomes that the villages in the periphery are booming as lucrative real-estate sites and are turning into statutory towns. If only the migrant-poor can get a share of the profits that the landowners are making can these towns become inclusive and sustainable cities of tomorrow.

Project Brief:

The buildings are placed along the contours in the stepped terraces with large openings in front of the building and the waste drains in the rear part. The orientation of the houses are kept towards the east, south and west directions to get the benefit of the maximum direct sunlight. To receive sunlight at the rear part of the buildings also, the height and the spaces between them are graded.

THE SITE

The SITE offers Views of mountains at rear side of plot & ample of sunlight from South & S.E Directions with glare free North Light.

The SITE has a steep Contour age, with 3 major level Differences @ 1495m , 1490m,1485m., 1490 m The Presence of Road in front makes vehicular accessibility feasible .

THE SITE CUTOUT

The land between the contours provides less ground footprint to build within & between these lines, facilitating us for scope to incorporate the built mass below the ground. Minimal Cut & Fill provides an opportunity to play with the building Blocking & stacking in terms of floor profiles,

BUILT FORM PLACEMENT

The Building Blocks placed below the Ground Block, gets partially submerged in the ground from the front side, to in-corporate building circulation

The Building Block gets natural shade & protected from harsh winds due to upper block acting as a barriers

TOPMOST BLOCK

UPPER FLOORSTACKING

• The Profile of the upper floor block has been inspired from the Vernacular Roof profile &angles of the dwelling units in Mussoorie.

• This provides a sense of grandeur to the interior spaces and protects the house from the heavy rainfall & snowfall with wind currents.

• The block sits in the middle ,leaving room for balconies onsides, to have as an extension of rooms, for enjoying the valley views surrounding the site.

• The Lowermost Building Block is Again submerged TO The ground from the front side, benefiting from the earth bearming

• The block has access from upper floors through external bridge

• Compact size and opening along longer direction - Similar to vernacular buildings,new buildings should be compact, having small foot print and most of the openings/ windows should be provided along the length of building (longer side) and shorter side of building (width) should be kept intact without openings to have better seismic response.
