Arabian Sea Ambedkar Grave

Memorial for the former lower-cast advocate and writer of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar near his grave. The colonnial era, now abandoned ‘Indu Mills’ is the site.

In the wake of India’s growing economy, Mumbai has accquired a new dimension; a new value in terms of its cost and usability. The construction boom has increased in the past decade leaving behind many abandoned buildings and at the same time a reduction in green space.

The mumbai mills are some of the many structures that lie abandoned in the prime areas of the city and are now preys to real estate dealers. The NTC (National Textile Corporation) owned mill in Dadar, is one such structure which has been in demanded for an Ambedkar Memorial by his followers (RPI- Republican Party of India). On 4th December 2012, government accepted their demand for the memorial.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar is the author of the consitituion of India. He is believed to have fought against caste system, * Times of India, May 28 2012

but what he actually preached was equality; equality in a country that would soon be the biggest democracy.

The lower masses have gained their rights, another era has passed, and today he has followers, innumerable, but his principles and ideologies are long buried.

Hence, the memorial design intends to bring out Ambedkar’s ideologies and at the same time tries to retain and redesign the existing mill structure with its beautiful British-era iron truss work. The new memorial building becomes a part of the existing structure.

According to architect Charles Correa, Mumbai’s mill lands have the potential for being a breathing space for the city. Mumbai has just 14km of green space for 12.4 million people, least in the world.* Hence, the design has tried to use only 10% of the 12.5 acres leaving the rest of the land as open green space.

With a museum, exhibition space, library and the open green attracting masses from different social backgrounds, Ambedkar’s true message of integration and equality will be attained.

Design and construction of a classroom for Burmese refugees in 61days in Mae Sot, Thailand.

Mae Sot is a city in central-west Thailand. ‘Moei’ river divides the city from the Burmese city of ‘Myawaddy’. As a result of political unrest in Myanmar, Mae Sot hosts many Burmese regugees. Due to a hostile Thai refugee policy, the immigrants suffer improper governemnt support.

Proper school that integrates Burmese students into Thai schools is one of them. Together with ‘Help without Fron-

tiers’, an NGO that helps schools with funding, training and equipemnts, SCG, a Bangkok based construction firm and ‘a.gor.a’ Architects, we, a group of 11 students from Hochschule Anhalt designed, crowd-funded and built a small classroom for P’Yan school in February-March 2017. The design and crowd funding was done during 2016 summer break.

The building is 6x8mts and has a concrete foundation, sun-dried non-load-bearing brick walls and second- hand wooden column-beam structure.

The non-load bearing walls are then plastered with three layers of mud.

Connecting the historical ‘Landungsbruecken’ in Hamburg to its upcoming green ring. Designed following the patterns of ‘Landungsbruecken’ in mirror itself, the building tries to harmonise the imbalance the site creates with Landungsbruecken on one side.

The building is designed to compliment the ‘Landungsbruecken’ by using spatial and layout patterns of the latter in the former. This helped to balance the majestic Landungsbruecken and the site when viewed from the opposite shore.

Green rings (inner and outer ring) is an upcoming project connecing many green areas of Hamburg together. The inner ring passes through the site on ‘Landungsbruecken’ and gives the site a potential to be part of this huge sustainable project.

The building hosts a series of shops, eatieries, public-event spaces, car-park and an open inner street that connects the west, north and eastern part or the green ring by series of brigdes.

NEUGRÜNBRÜKEN

The new building with parking and café spaces imitates its nei are identified in the Landungsbrueken building and is borrowe true to its contemporaries.

Thus a unique dialogue between old and new is created.

The design intends to bring together an ongoing project that supports a healthy and green future, the green ring and the still- existing old gate of past glory, the Landungsbrueken. Hence, Nuegruenbrueken.

The building and site gives the potential to connect the inner and outer green rings. Clear and uninterrupted cycling and pedestrian movement has been provided from one end of the site to the other. facade detail

MARKER CITIES

Year University and Prof.

Project Type Team

2016-17 Hochschule Anhalt, Dessau Prof. Ivan Kucina Prof. Jasper Cepl Urban Research Anjali Ramachandran (Master Thesis)

City is a process where some main protagonists at play (good or bad) helps the city grow or regress in a particualr direction. Analysing these main protagonists or ‘Markers’, can help identify a city’s complex impermanace that is ascending spirally rather than repetitively looping.

Cities are constantly produced and reproduced, wrote Lefebvre. This constant production and reproduction creates a progressive loop thereby putting a city under constant change and chaos making it harder to comprehend.

This prohect is a first-hand attempt to understand the major influential factors of a city or a neighborhood and map their behavior. As the city produces these influential factors and it in-turn shapes the city back (feedback-loop), studying the factors will help understand and predict the present and future scenarios of prosperity or crisis.

A city can be compared to a large growing fabric which when pushed or pulled distorts the whole fabric itself.

These pushes and pulls are the influential factors that has the ability to mould a city. A single push or pull is called a Marker. In short, a marker is an influential disturbance

on a city fabric that changes the dynamics of a city leading to its progress or regress while actively undergoing the change itself. Hence, markers are spacetime determinant and is always in a process. Markers can be compared to a ghost that is always under constant movement (image on right) just like a ‘zeitgeist’ or spirit of time.

There are three main protagonists at play in a city: economy, people and space. Entities under all three has the potential to be a marker. Although, space is where the economy-people interaction is manifested. If each marker is identified in a neighbourhood or a city and analysed to understand its behaviour pattern, one can say what kind of maker behaviour the area requires or is in excess. With this information at hand, one can make a wide variety of marker concoctions. The suitable one can be chosen to improve depending on the situation.

Crisis is part and parcel of change and evolution. The dynamic process of a city leads to evolution than preservation, writes Rossi. Hence markers become the continuous propelling elements of development or at the same time agents of destruction.

SITE: ADALBERT-ORANIEN STRASSE, KREUZBERG On the right is MARKER ANATOMY. It is a self-propelling entity.

Below and coming pages: A marker is analysed under 16 categories which can be classified as I, II, III, IV (Pace Layer) depending on the pace at which it changes. I being the fastest pace and IV being the slowest. With this one can know how fast the analysing area is changing.

Once the markers are identified and sorted into its respective ‘Pace Layer’, their behaviour is analysed under 6 ‘Personality Types: Domineering, Selfless, Authoritative, Struggling, Well-to-do and Pauper. This Analysis helps to understand the behaviour of a marker.

With ‘Pace Layer’ and ‘Personality Type’, a 3D model of the area is produced that helps to understand the dominant personality and pace layer in the area.

The two datas, ‘Pace Layer’ and ‘Personality Type’ can be then tweaked to create different scenarios. Three scenarios has been shown in thsis project. Hence such an analysis allows you to understand what exactly to modify and keep to get the right concotion.

An open street where housing and production exists together with mutual dependency. The waste material of one, becomes the raw material of another.

Thus the ghost of the site’s industrial past remains.

Modernisation changed the phase of city planning introducing zones, thereby altering the delicate mix of different activities exsiting together. This led to a chain of events leading to the present day unsustainable and un-personal situations such as commodity transportation from work-live and an unintimate consumer- producer relationship. Factories moved to outskirts while commercial and housing to the city’s inner ring. And the streets became motor-vehicle dominant. The project addresses this very problem by creating an open street, welcome for

all, cladded on either side with various production houses co-existing by depending on each other. The waste of one factory becomes raw-material for another. The owners live on top of the shop and one can have a product custom-designed by the makers themselves over a cuppa or simply take their services for a hands-on.

The planning is based on the waste material to raw material concept and on the relationship between different Production and living entities such as Food, Cosmetics, Clothing and Accessories, Furniture and Community Space for former and Soul, Body, Person, Family and Community for latter.

Different types of living and production units are explored and put together with different combinations.

Pottery workshop designed for ample light and ventilation using rammed earth foundation, local adobe and double ceiling for heat protection. The project was done part hands-on by the office itself.

Auroville is an experimental spiritual community in Pondicherry, India. Being experimental, the community embraces alternate lifestyle and so is with architecture.

Rammed earth foundation and walls, sun-dried/kiln-fired adobe, traditional passive cooling methods and renewable energy has been incorporated into every Auroville architecture.

White Peacock is a pottery workshop designed for a Russian mother-daughter duo who wanted a space, opening to nature to conduct their lessons. They also wanted a small camping and storage space on the roof.

Pottery involves moulding of clay and firing. Hence, we divided the space into two. The former being the classroom with the camping space on the roof and the latter being the firing space with an additional storage on the roof. Thus we get two spaces with varying heights.

The foundation is rammed earth with concrete plinth, cast on top separately. The bricks are local adobe kilnfired bricks. Two large openings form at the entrance and workshop side giving the space ample light and cross-ventilation. There are a series of concrete boxes installed in varying fashion to exhibit student’s works. The lintel beam had been cast with polystyrene within the main cast to get the desired smooth brutalist finish.

The project was part-hands on with the architecture office taking part in construction of foundation, brick-laying and the concrete exhibition-boxes.

NEW YORK CITY VISION

Recognition

2012 MILA, Berlin Jakob Tigges City Vision Competition Jakob Tigges Federico Segat Anjali Ramachandran Nicola di Croce Special Mention

Exodus: The Great Adventures of the Manhattan Diaspora. An abstract representation of the future of one of the biggest cities in the world.

the recent past.While it was the quintessential metropolis of the 20th century, its locational star is likely to sink with respect to the emerging metropolises of a multipolar world.

The city of New York that we depicted showed a famestripped metropolitan living under its lost glory. Another great depression worse than that of 1920’s gives Manhattan such a severe blow that the buildings, personified as inspired from Rem Koolhas, Delirius New York, leaves its motherland in search of its origins. For example, the American art deco equivalent Chrysler building to Paris, the proud Rockefeller centre to Shanghai etc.A traditional location for science fiction, New York City has been the home of urban utopias and dystopias for much of

In “Exodus… And The Great Adventures of the Manhattan Diaspora” it is abandoned by its most prominent architectural dwellers, who are either nostalgic of their European ideals or don’t want to miss the 21st century.

Once celebrated as containers of constant programmatic change, they feared to slide into premature congealment and if they could not escape their own history, at least they tried to flee Manhattan that has become folklore as a whole. Whether the universal city’s dispersal into the world’s cities lowers or increases New York’s impact depends on your perspective.
