FOREWORD

Every settlement has a deep-rooted story of its own, unique in its conflicts and unity. The story of their evolution portrays their struggles to sustain and establish themselves, by preserving their culture and choosing to live the old way, in a world that is fast running towards modernism.

The students of the fifth semester of the B. Arch course (ADFT-V 2021) studied various settlements scattered across India and the textile souk in Dubai. Detailed studies about the Munda and Santhal tribal settlements in Jharkhand, weaving community and temples in Kanchipuram, textile souk in Dubai, Anegundi settlements in Karnataka, French colony in Pondicherry and temple settlements in Srirangam were carried out by different groups of students. The studies yielded interesting results, providing information about architecture, settlement development, building typologies, construction materials, and indigenous techniques inherited from older generations. Help from the locals were instrumental in accessing deeper information about the land and its culture. This collection of information, on the history, culture and architecture of these settlements, has been portrayed through various drawings, photographic illustrations, analytic sketches, building information etc. The study has successfully enlightened us about how the architecture of a place has been shaped by the culture and vice versa. It’s interesting to see how the housing structure of these settlements are done to accommodate and promote the uniqueness of their culture.

Every group of students put in hard work and passion in conducting the study and researching on it. It was an exciting journey to various historic places and an enriching experience to live among the people of the settlement, as one of their own and see their lives.

the lost city of time Anegundi settlement

OVERVIEW :

The settlement which I selected is Anegundi settlement. “Ane gundi”, the early capital of ‘Vijayanagara’ Empire is a place where history, mythology, culture coexist. . The place is said to be over 1000 years old. Hampi and Anegundi are 200 meters apart and separated by river Tungabhadra. While visiting the Anegundi and Hampi many there were many aspects in which the study was conducted such as Cultural Heritage, Art and Cul ture, Agriculture, Built and Unbuilt spaces, Building typology, temple typology, Street typology and Cultural Space Conservation. In this the aspect which got my eyes are Gagan Mahal, Vir upaksha temple, Agriculture and Street typology.

GAGAN MAHAL :Gagan mahal, the most prominent building in Anegundi belongs to the rulers of the Vijayanagara empire. This ancient palace is now just a shadow of its original self.Gagan mahal was constructed in Indo-Islamic style of architecture. It contains intricate carvings that defines the fine skill of sculp tors. The palace has lovely decorated balconies and protruding windows. It has four towers and is surrounded by a fortress wall

VIRUPAKSHA TEMPLE:

Virupaksha temple is one the prominent temple in Hampi. While vis iting the temple the thing which got me stunned was the inverted shadow of gopura of virupaksha temple. The shadow of the top of Gopura fall in such a way that it appears as a inverted black shadow.

STREET TYPOLOGY:

When we were in Anegundi the information of the road types we collected are: There were total three types of road : radial, ring, and linear. Significantly, the radial road system is focused on the Royal Centre. The roads here pass through two or more gateways in the walls that define and encircle the Royal Centre. The south and east ring roads and one of the two north ring roads, pass outside the walls of the Royal Centre. Linear roads, include a major route linking Gangavati and Hampi to the town now known as Hospet.

Width of ring roads = 6m Width of linear road = 7m Width of radi al roads = 2.5m to 3m.

AGRICULTURE :

The major farming crops of Anegundi are

1. Paddy 2. Banana 3. Sugar cane 4. Coconut. Banana and Coconut left overs are used to make baskets & crafts.
