Yamuna River

Yamuna River Project Recovery of Brownfields in the Flooplain with Zero Waste

Subtitle: Title

This project explores and proposes the remediation of the Millennium Bus Depot in New Delhi, India. The depot, is a 51-acre brownfield next to one of the most polluted rivers on Earth. To reconnect to and address contextual situations, the project suggests a threefold approach: selectively repurposing preexisting materials, recycling existing activities (namely farming) while instituting new ones, and reintroducing natural water capture, remediation, and green infrastructure as filtration. These strategies and activities were designed in conference with other student projects and integrated in a New Delhi masterplan.

The Millennium Bus Depot is southeast of the Central Vista and just outside the Lutyens Bungalow Zone. It borders the west bank of the Yamuna River. The site is built to fit approximately 1,000 buses at one time and totals 51.06 acres. It is the largest bus depot in the world. This does not include the surrounding land area.

Millennium Park, a former landfill, sits to the depot’s immediate west. While the landfill has been covered over, the site must undergo mining remediation but can serve as a programmatic cohort to the depot once complete.

Because the depot exists entirely in a floodplain, the site must to be kept as natural as possible while retaining its functionality.

Combined Issues

01: Yamuna River Project

New Delhi, India is home to most of the country’s political officials. Each official lives in a gated high-class bungalow with considerable green space. It is, unequivocally, the most expensive place in India. However, not all bungalows are occupied and fences prohibit public interaction.

Heritage Corridor

Abutment The site exhibits patterns and systems that should not be replaced but repurposed: - The abutment should avoid being built upon.

- Housing should be relocated nearby or on the site peripheries.

- Farms should be moved farther from the river and given proper irrigation.

- Interior green medians are broader and more lush closer to urbanity. This is opposite of what the site seems to need.

- Green buffers should be preserved and used for pedestrian and ecological purposes..

Existing Patterns

01: Yamuna River Project

Pathways

Over the years, a heritage corridor was formed longitudinally. The corridor still lacks access or assets to connect to transversally.

The river is too polluted for a site at this scale to address. Instead a drain bordering the north of the site is diverterted for cleaning and irrigation.

The drain must, however, be regraded so it is not backed up with toxic water when the river floods.

Instead of bulldozing the site to slope toward the river, the trench drainage system will have a sloped floor, emptying into retention ponds.

The potential farmer’s market to connect to existing market programs at Sunder Nursery (cultural corridor asset).

Farmers and patrons of the remediated brownfield can cross between trenches with minimalist plank-like bridges. The trenchs allow for accessible irrigation.

The trenches and retention ponds provide opportunity or ceremonial and religious observation since the Yamuna is one of two sacred rivers in India. People may now observe bathing practices in clean water.

Addis Ababa

Addis Ababa River Project: Kebena Public Recreation Upper Kebena River Research Project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, experiences severe flooding each monsoon season from compunding river flow, mountainous terrain, and structures built in flood zones. This studio was the first of a three year endeavour to research and document the conditions of the city and climate, using local input to understand how best to plan and design for the future. This research focused specifically on the upper Kebena River and generated a group masterplan with individual interventions along the river route, including a public recreation project intended to give a formal gathering point for recreation.

Addis Ababa: Education

Addis Ababa: Flooding Risks

Addis Ababa is the largest city and the capital of Ehtiopia. As of 2007, it is home to over 3,000,000 documented citizens. The population has undergone an estimated 433% increase (13,000,000).

With this explosive growth comes increased need for goods, services, and public infrastructure.

Consequentially, informal settlements and economies have become formal/ normative.

Addis Ababa: Settlement Types Claire DiVito

To understand this environment, research was conducted using satellite imagery and GIS data from Addis Ababa University. The resultant maps, data, and patterns were considered when designing a public recreation opportunity along the Kebena River.

02: Addis Ababa River Project

In an effort to relocate locals from dangerous flood zones, the Addis Ababa government has reclaimed open/ public recreation spaces and built or rented land to relocated families in other areas. This has eliminated much of the public’s space to informally enjoy sports, such as football (soccer), basketball, or volleyball. The Kebena Public Recreation Facility transforms a river buffer zone into a recreation area that formally yet casually gives this disappearing program back to Addis Ababa locals.

Understanding the topography, built environment, and existing conditions of the site determined the compatibility of public recreation with the area. The location was flat, elevated above the river, surrounded by families with young children, near schools, and near hospitals/ health care facilities in case of injury. The

facility was set into a pre-existing hill. Trees and vegetation were used for privacy separation between the site and homes.

This helped compensate for new water runoff from paved courts.

Past (2002)

02: Addis Ababa River Project

The site’s topography was gently reworked along the river to contain floodwaters that would exceed the preexisting limit. The site’s level ground contains a single, full-size volleyball court, basketball court, and a 4x4 football field. Running paths begin and end at the facility with trail lengths of: 1K, 5K, 10K, and a half marathon weaving throughout the Upper Kebena Masterplan zone.

These paths intersect various proposed interventions along the Kebena, present in the masterplan.

With rammed earth and concrete construction, the facility sits in a hill and abuts single family housing.

A tree buffer line is used to divide the two programs and maintain privacy.

Lagniappe Comprehensive Mixed Use Co-working Office Space

Lagniappe was based on a 20’ x 60’ lot size and attempts to divide a substantial L-shaped lot into thinner slices.

This makes the structure easier to cool in the New Orleans climate, and references surrounding structures. Delineation between public and private spaces are composed through material changes. Rotated brick patterning on the two facades bring fresh perspective to a common material and maintains the rhythm of the French Quarter style.

French Quarter Lot Best Fit

The French Quarter is under the jurisdiction of the Vieux Carre Commission. This board acts much like a historical preservation board and has the power to approve or deny construction in the area. As such, the reuse of the French Quarter lot division strategy is an intentional nod toward the history of the area.

The project called for maximum use of all available square footage while maintaining open space, setback, and ADA requirements.

This CNC-ed, forced one-point perspective relief mimics the front entrance of Richardson Memorial, home of the Tulane School of Architecture. The project was on display in the school’s main exhibit space for two months before finding a permanent home in the Tulane Architecture Millhaus.

(Project Partners Ellen Feringa and Mary-Helen Porter)

43

The facade and steps are constructed of rough limestone with carved arches, columns, and cornices. The vestibule wall was stained natural wood and the back stairs were painted white wood. Measurements were taken by hand and replicated in Rhino 6 software. Four layers became apparent in the composition. The entire composition was tapered to introduce a forced one-point perspective and divided in their subsequent layers.

Each layer was milled out of 3/4” MDF, primed, and brush painted white.

Ornament, such as column capitals, limestone textures, and cornice pieces, were all 3D scanned and edited digitally using Artec software and scanners before being placed in the model file for CNC development. The exterior stairs were fabricated and attached manually, adding a fifth layer.

05: RMH Facade

The first two milled layers and stairs were all attached with wood glue. The subsequent two layers were separated with 2” wedges. These wedges were hidden when the front piece was boxed out on the left and right sides. The back piece attached to the wall using a sliding wedge system. The front piece attached to the wall using wood plates.

Being exposed to architecture has drastically expanded my list of hobbies and interests. I have a desire to learn all kinds of crafts and have engaged at various levels in: woodworking, glassblowing, painting, digital fabrication, and welding. There are other hobbies that I have retained since childhood, including: reading, writing, and coloring. Most often, these interests manifest themselves through gifts. This has, in fact, caused gift giving to become its own hobby.

Glassblowing: Stemless Glass Pulling Process

07: Hobbues & Interests

When first blowing glass, it’s common for pieces to come out thick and uneven. A way to even it out is to heat the uneven part, then use tweezers to pull the glass so it stretches and thins. Once done, the jacks, a larger, thinner version of metal tweezers with a flat head, are used to cut a neckline into the piece, making sure not to close off any open spaces. The new groove is then chilled with metal sheers and the excess/ pulled glass, now cold, is knocked off. The now even piece is reheated and reopened with the jacks.

58

I incorporated this process several times when making: cups, vases, wine glasses, and bowls. The process is demonstrated on the right, showing the final product, a stemless wine glass with a tinted purple base.
