PROPOSED RE-DESIGN OF KENSINGTON EXPRESSWAY

INTRODUCTION

The Northampton site is a storied location in Buffalo’s architectural context - not for the right reason. The neighborhood was partitioned by the infamous Kensington expressway, leading to decay and stagnation of the area.

The proposed equestrian center provides a refreshing opportunity to help heal and rejoin the east and west side. By integrating the proposed Kensington parkway design with the site, the equestrian center will seamlessly merge with and enhance the neighborhood’s urban fabric.

It will foster opportunities for healing and attracting residents from both sides to come while providing a peaceful equinine sanctuary that helps care for the community’s elders.

Proposal calls for partial requisition of the site’s peripheral land for parkways. This needs to be considered while designing the site.

STRUCTURAL DESIGN FOR RIDING HALL

The structure was designed keeping in mind the scale of both humans and horses in mind, which is evident in the way the roof slopes downward across the riding hall (used by horse) to its least height just above the spectator stands (used by humans). This was done to minimise the redundancy of volume of the space. The truss system is topped by a metal deck roof and supported by a RCC frame structure and floor that is topped with gravel and sand for the horses.

This slope was orientated towards the north side so as to maximise the penetration of natural diffused light. To that end the structural system was designed under the guidance of a structural consultant according to the evolved form of this hall. Taking SOM’s Moynihan hall as a precedent, the trusses were designed to be thicker at the most needful points and taper as the structural load decreased

REVITALIZATION OF ABOHAR MANDI

MANDI, ABOHAR MUNICIPALITY, FAZILKA DISTRICT, PUNJAB

Client: Abohar Municipal Corporation

Time Frame: January 2021 - ongoing

Participation: Principal Architect, in partnership with Ar. Deepanshu Garg

INTRODUCTION

Abohar is a town in Punjab that has a rich and proud cultural past. This is no more evident than in the Mandi - ‘big market’ in hindi and punjabi - located in the heart of the town.

This site was once a booming symbol of Abohar’s cotton industry till the late 1960’s.

After the decline of its industry after the 1970’s, the Mandi’s condition deterioated. After consultation with the local municipal corporation, we took up the project to revitalize the nascent urban character of this site.

CONCEPT AND SITE ANALYSIS

SITE CONDITION PRIOR TO PROJECT

Buildings - commercial/ residential

Trees

Internal circulation

External circulation

Landmarks/focal areas

Direction of traffic

There is no coherence and structure in the traffic flow. Pedestrian forced to share space with vehicles.

CONCERNS

INFRASTRUCTURE

There are very minimal trees and greens in the Mandi. The wide streets are in bad shape. The streets waste their potential as catalysts of social interaction.

There is no coherence and structure in the traffic flow. Pedestrian forced to share space with vehicles.

Peripheral roads outside the site provide robust but congested street connectivity around and also through the site via two spine roads - Bazaar no 4 and 9 roads.

Encroachments

Encroachments are a perptual menace and function as pseudo-pedestrian spaces in the absence of people-friendly spaces. Services and drainage are exposed.

Building line Greenery

There are 10 entry/exit points in the Mandi, with the primary points being Gate no. 4 and the Clock tower gate.

Circulation

There are very minimal trees and greens in the Mandiapproximately only 12 -13 trees. The wide streets are in bad shape and their brick paving broken. The streets waste their potential as catalysts of social interaction.

Surrounded by commercial spaces and wide roads. Nearby railway station and central location makes the Mandi an ideal focal center.

Encroachments are a perptual menace in the urban fabric. Often these encroachments function as pseudopedestrian spaces in the absence of people-friendly spaces. Services and drainage are exposed.

The wide interior streets of the mandi support recreational and cultural roles but still feel underutilized

PROPOSED PLAN

“Weaving an elegant design through the existing urban fabric coalescences the commercial, circulatory and recreational realms, while simultaneously creating a healthy segregation between them. This will give rise to a synergetic whole that will revitalize the dynamic and historic Mandi

OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES

” pedestrian pedestrian shaded rest space parking shop plinth vehicle circulation vehicle circula shop plinth shop plinth 1. Provide organized and adequate zoning that respects the space of each stakeholder shopkeepers, pedestrians and vehicle users. 2. Give safe space for pedestrians and promote walkability while leaving out circulation for general vehicular and commercial freight traffic. 5. Provide dynamic and thriving public spaces that can activate community interaction and integrate the focal areas of the site. 6. Invite nature into the Mandi by increasing greenery and rest spaces throughout. 3. Preserve the heritage and character of the site, incorporating the aethetic elements and materials unique to the site in the design. 4. Assist local administration draft facade control laws and signage standards.

JAYANTI LAKE AND DAM, JAYANTI VILLAGE, MAJRIAN S.A.S NAGAR DISTRICT

PUNJAB

Client: Mr. Randhawa

Time Frame: October 2021 - ongoing

Participation: Principal architect, solo project

INTRODUCTION

Although the city of Chandigarh is one of the most liveable and green cities in India, it has been lately feeling the brunt of urbanisation.

Situated at the banks of the Jayanti lake and after consultations with the client, a 2 bedroom residence was designed that could serve as a sanctuary away from the rigors of urban life.

The chosen site is located in a narrow valley at the end of the lake, nestled in the foothills of the Shivaliks and within view of the sacred and popular hilltop Jayanti Devi temple.

CONCEPT AND SITE ANALYSIS

SITE GEOTAGGED AND MAPPED

JAYANTI (MAXIMUMLAKE EXTENT DURING PEAK FLOODING)

VISION

“The residence will represent the client’s desire to connect with nature within spaces that are natural to the senses. The design will embrace open flow of energy, each space welcoming in the surrounding environment with transparent barriers.”

OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES

CONCEPT AND

SITE

The preferred zone for construction. It is almost flat and while providing a direct line of sight to the lake

There is only one access route to the site, that too unmetalled and challenging to cross. Hence, construction materials and crew need to be minimised.

REACHING THE GRASSROOTS IMODULAR LIBRARY TEMPLATE

BATHINDA DISTRICT, PUNJAB

Client: Bathinda Municipal Corporation

INTRODUCTION

Bathinda is the fifth largest city in the state of Punjab. The city is a provider of good quality education in the district and the rural countryside.

However, there has been glaring lack of study spaces for students and aspirants for government jobs. Bathinda’s municipal corporation identified this issue and envisioned a goal of building hundreds of public libraries throughout the entire district.

We were contacted by the municipal corporation and we subsequently took up the project to create an ideal template for their objective.
