STUDIO BRIEF Visions for the waterfront development across the world have a binary that needs to be rooted an anchored in the local and everyday. - These examples are primarily retail developments, they propose leisure as the appropriate use for city waterfronts and are driven by the demands of speculative finance. The built form emerging from such proposals often consists of large, internalized blocks fronting the water across a strip of privatized ‘public’ pathway. - Are shopping, dining and leisure now the only way we can imagine using our rivers? Is a more imaginative vision possible? …a vision less monosyllabic… a vision that has more sophisticated social and commercial drivers?

- Are there ways of thinking about the development of the Sabarmati Riverfront that might give rise to a rich narrative of spatial experience and more specific relationships with site edges? That might be more appropriate for local climate and more engaged with local patterns of use?

Lecture on ” What is public space! “

By Prof. Tridip Suhrud writer, political scientist, cultural historian and translator Former director for Sabarmati Ashram.Ahmedabad Most of us think that open spaces are public spaces. But what the actual meaning of public space, Its space where people will express themselves without hesitation. Space has the potential to become a political space. In India, the public space is, where the women feel free to be there in space without any hesitation and fear. The idea of the public comes from security. public space is something where people can go and protest on the authorities. Cities should have a place to protest, which means people having a confident public space to express

Architect, Urban Planner, Academician

Few conceptual ideas of the Yona Friedman about the

City through large scale projects is one of the last priorities of the local authorities. When the architects come up with the kind of larger visions there are forces that actually looking at the immediate facilities. In order to make the larger-scale project - Sabarmati riverfront, the committee has to make a few more projects like housing, Dhobi campus, markets to uplift the people’s quality of life. Where the architect wants to propose the mile of the museum the developers thought about the immediate demands.

Whereas architects we are free to imagine anything but the moment we face the realities like market forces and demands its completely different. so the question is who is actually guiding in making the proposals in the city. On the urban scale, if we are stat thinking about the proposal at the back of the head we should start thinking about the funding for the project. Few strategies and methods evolved throughout the practice are making the calculations for the cost of the projects. Markets have some problems but it is allowing people to say what they really want. The building program and the system of construction play a key role in these kinds of projects.

Friedman expanded this idea for Mobile Architecture to the

future growth of the cities. idea for creating elevated city space where people could live and work. With this principle he also hoped to introduce a method that could restrain the land use of growing cities.

His goal became to explain that it was not necessary to demolish older city parts to create new housing and also he pleaded for the compactness of the city, as building above the existing city could diminish expanding outwards. a system of construction that allows the occupants to determine the design of their own dwellings. Friedman expanded on the principles for Mobile Architecture to the idea to create an elevated city space where people could live and work in housing of their own design.

hub. Most of the people are moving away from government facilities & common men can live without bothering about the Indian government.

Public-private partnership relay on the market demand, our relationship with this public-private institutions is an institutional relationship.

Most of the middle-class people depend on private facilities than the public. Where poor people depend more on the government facilities, and ultra-rich people invest in real estate and other long term capital generators. In the future, there will be a condition where all the public functions are implemented through private.

Unproductive spaces vs profitable use of land How we can think about the spaces within the main streets also impacts citizen’s daily life.

An example: removing the food courts from the street for parking purpose is not a wise decision. Where food courts and mobile vendors play a key role in the informal economic growth & activate the street.

Which will eventually generate the relationship between the street and the common man?

Use the evidence-based research/design helps the designers to evaluate their strategies. For the decision makers and stakeholders, the software gives a more objective understanding of the impact of urban design.

Making the isovist field within the built footprints allows architects as well as the readers to understand the possibility of permissibility and visibility. The possibility of the tool not only drawing maps but to analyze the future conditions redesigned space. The impact of the other areas , the potential to deriving the number of possibilities that we can arrive through a defined flow chart allows readers to analyze the conditions and various situations in the strategy (Integration values and segments). Understating of the spatial networks allows also plays a key role. The software always shows the measurable things, is their but not unmeasurable things like social, economical & cultural theories of the city. This should be in the student mind when we are actually using it, we need to use this software just as a tool for investigation and expression. At the same time as an evidence to result in the design strategy.

Access to the River

One the first visit an encounter with the Gabion wall. From the bridge, we can see a temple with a small village. The edge between the river and the temple is undefined ( a continuous sand bed) people from the temple coming towards the river to perform their rituals.

1.4 - SITE OBSERVATIONS

A defined edge & shade!

Because of the low water levels, the dried river not helping people to perform their rituals, where few children are helping them to do. The shadow of the Indira bridge really helping from the harsh sun during the day. And the architect designed the ghat in such a way that people will go into the river till some defined edge. The connect to the river and the ghat so formal this helps only for religious activities, not more that, where I fell utilization of the resources is limited.

Advantages of existing system.

Markets as multi-functional palce!

Flower Market

The food stalls are examples of taking advantage of the existing infrastructure. These spaces are complemented by the shadows of the bridge.

The temporary structures of the stall and the furniture is an example of mobility where most of the world believes in permanent structures and living.

The Ravivari market is made by a series of raised

A market with the specific use, we can take this

plinths where each plinth is given to each vendor, the idea serves the purpose. But the designer can utilize the space in more richer fashion, not just treating the market as a place to sell the object but the demands of the coming era are more than just selling objects, few cultural activities can make space better.

market as one more typology in the market design.

The city exclusively depends on this market during the festive seasons.

Space is defined by elements The lower promenade is a linear open space, which encourages only cycling and walking and plays activities. The connect to the river is not more than visual content. The infrastructure is limited to basic i.e vertical lifts, dustbins and the row of trees, and the informal natural bushes are forming an edge. To vertical retaining wall actually, disconnect the other side of the city from the experience point of view.

Building as a plugin.

The Manav Sadhna school is an example of the insert in the tight urban fabric, which actually acts as a plugin to the area. The school is built in between the existing temple and masjid and the people from the community discussing their issues in the central courtyard. The schools add rich value to the site, which eventually becomes a memory for the students. these kinds of initiative in the will rally helps to enhance the people’s quality of life.

Variation from the monotony!

Shift in scale.

Green space for religious acitivity!

Advantages of existing system.

Mar

From the lower promenade only we can see old manmade structure a pump house which is connecting the upper promenade. Experience the Sabarmati ashram which is another side of the river, where the architects have the advantage to use the heritage infrastructure as a tool to make the variation from the monotony.

A sudden shift in the experience of scale, this courtyard has a lot of potential in terms of making public space. And this is the place where we can experience the structure of the concrete ( supporting concrete fins for retaining wall).

The steps leading towards the courtyard, and the landscape plays a key role in making the space.

The park is maintained by the AMC authorities, where we can see a certain kind of control over the property. Apart from the built infrastructure like auditorium, walkways and circular gardens, there is a temporary structure where women perform their rituals continuously for five days. We can see the society is deeply concerned about a few theories and ideologies.

The food stalls are examples of taking advantage of the existing infrastructure. These spaces are complemented by the shadows of the bridge.

The temporary structures of the stall and the furniture is an example of mobility where most of the world believes in permanent structures and living.

Campus depends on water

Open space with multiple activities.

A wall separates the RIVER & RITUALS

The laundry campus can be completely separated from the river, whereas previously these people used to work beside the river, the location of this campus is proper because of the activity no need to engage with the daily city activity. So as a part of the riverfront development its is very important to have such kind of facility, because all the dhobis are depended on the river water.

NID plaza is a large open space, which is away from the busy urban city. The vertical mild steel structure, which supports a cable cart system. These are very interesting objects in that open space. Thee metal structures look like installations to define the spaces at the same time controlling the scale of the space.

In India, most of the crematoriums are located beside the rivers, because of the rituals. people need to perform a certain kind of rituals where people leave the ashes in the flowing water. But this crematorium completely lost the glipse of the river, a wall separates the river and the built.

This gesture is a bit disappointing. These are the devices we can use to make a few connections to the city and the river.

A symbolic representation of the authority.

In terms of building scale and language the riverfront house is a huge building. Where the authorities tried to show the authority by their economic standards. This riverfront house mainly for higher authorities and the politicians and the investors of the city. This building can be in any other format, example crating more of groud connect a G+1 structure.

1.5 - Qualitative Drawing Exercise A drawing representation exercise, where each student has to visit a selected site, quickly document the conditions of the streets, people and their activities and nature of space.

The selected street is Ghandhi road in

the old city of ahmedabad. The intention of the drawing is to represent the busy street vendors and the life of the street which is crated by the street vendors and the incremental growth of the small scale buildings.

2.1 - Position & Key argument A. What will be the future proposals of the riverfront and their impact on the city?

Is market force and the logic of capitalist culture being only the deciding factors to define the development on the river edges?

Or city itself becomes a guide for the upcoming proposals while responding to market forces! As a thinkers one can find the strategic opportunities in the cities & translate them into proposals. Cities are the places for the intervention, where the whole state can imagine the developments.

The developments and proposals of the river edge should not be limited to create an image of the city, but the major developments in the cities should uplift the conditions of existing urban fabrics by taking the advantage of the neighborhood potentials and their mechanisms. As a part of this understanding the design drivers also must disrupt the traditional gentrification narration in the upcoming cities with the response to market forces!

On the other hand, CBD- Central business district area where the architects and planners are thinking visualizing Massive interventions & strong vertical tower blocks are the symbol of the development and to address future of the city. These apparent changes in the river edges will affect the areas around, through Cental bissiness distick visuslisation by HCP

increase in the land value. Which leads to a shift in urban community life style? Longtime residents/workers paying rents / long time patrons must displace because of the low economic conditions, which influence the life & working of the city from last couple of years. Displacements of longtime settlements is inevitable!

When property value become more than people then there is something seriously wrong. We can define it as a Spatial expression of economic inequality. Development of higher-class users in the previously working-class neighborhood of the city resulting the displacement of the working-class people, businessman & land use.

Few key intentions to disrupting the traditional gentrification narration • A community with less tension • A long-term wealth building strategy • A strong economic base, burning the community down is not an option.

• Increasing the financial literacy values • Engagement with the multi-level companies.

• Agenda which supports and sustain the communities.

2.2 - Argument diagram

Dead cities & neighborhoods : If we follow the market logic and start making the buildings, the kind of buildings and proposals will happen because of the immediate demands might not survive for long, we do not even know will the project will be relevant in a decade .and the projects might not get absorbed into the rest of the city. The cities cannot resist this time gap of the development since they had located in the central part of the city.

While the spatial aspects of cities need more

attention, a key driver of city competitiveness is the strength of its entrepreneurial foundation and its ability to attract new enterprises. There are several drivers of city competitiveness, including demographic traits, infrastructure traits, urban traits, financial traits and industry traits. One of Jane Jacob’s great insights was the importance of diversity and a mixture of uses to urban success.

Cities seem to be natural generators of diversity, but not universally so. Some places are lively and bustling while others remain inert. Central cities are increasingly playgrounds for the rich, lacking in the diversity of people and uses that were once there. How will urbanization and smart cities impact growth and jobs? Will it take place through specialization or diversification? The debate on whether cities grow through specialization or diversification is an old question dating back to Alfred Marshall and Jane Jacobs.

In this context How we can think about a project that act as catalyst for the existing conditions of the city. As planners and thinkers is it possible to consider the potential of each areas, look at the established patterns and the problems they raised. How one can find the opportunities in the city and translate them into proposal.

3.1 - Site conditions and mechanisms Site introduction: Name of the area: Dudeshwar Dudeshwar is located on east side of the Ahmedabad where there is around more than 10,000 small scale manufacturing units are located. These manufacturing units are worked for mill-owners. Played a vital role in changing the industrial scenario of the city. There is a kind of ecosystem where one activity is complemented by other. Similar firms of the same industry benefiting by

These

small-scale

manufacturing units are producing the industry standard products and spare parts – while multinational companies approaching these units for making their specialized spare parts. EX: TATA &COCACOLA and Amul. Specifically, these firms are related to the metal, paper & plastic manufacturing from small nut and bolts, machine. Spare parts to the machines and industry and residential installations. Some of the firms making metal by sand molding and other methods. Gas welding _Steel and aluminum welding, making small spare parts and custom-made nuts and bolts. Sheet metal works and milling works. anodizing and electro plating, paper printing mills.

3.2 - Understanding the case.

This is the one place you can do it quickly. If you want something, we can make it in a day or two – probably it would take a month in the large manufacturing units. We still have a country full of tiny shop owners who like it that way – they like the autonomy.”

Everyone here has very different skills – 40- and 50-year-old skills – it’s unique.

This incredible warren of machinists is the manufacturing heart of Ahmedabad. The field of city agglomeration and city clusters notes that similar firms from the same industry benefit from locating together. Knowledge flows across industries, and industrial diversity are also conducive to growth.

While economic arguments for urban manufacturing and the policies that support it are maturing, the spatial strategies for supporting manufacturing are either scattered or nonexistent.

This will be a major task for designers, planners, and policy makers

in the years, to look at manufacturing with fresh eyes and to re-think and re-imagine that, how cities can begin to set the stage and create the right conditions for reembracing industry in their midst. The area can do very diverse work for very small amounts.

Specialization and diversity: A district can be both specialized and diversified.

Specialization captures extreme concentration of one industry in one location, while diversity looks at the whole picture for a district. It is quite feasible for a district to have specialization and diversity values that are both above average. There are many interesting trends that can be observed on how specialization and diversification have impacted city growth. First, overall employment in India is strongly linked to local diversity.

That is, districts that have a broad set of industries have exhibited greater employment growth. Industrial Urbanism moves the conversation beyond the negative, exploring the relationship between current urban planning practices and the places where goods are made today.

A shift in the way of manufacturing: A shift from large industrial-scale production and design to small-scale distributed systems; polluting and consumptive process have become clean and sustainable; the demand of unskilled labour has been supplanted by the need for a more educated and specialized workforce. Cities may see new investment and increased employment opportunities resulting from these shifts –But to recap these benefits will require a shift in our thinking about manufacturing.

What are the contemporary relationships between city and manufacturing? new planning strategies that adapt the current trends in manufacturing.

In the quest to makes cities competitive and resilient, we should ask: What are the contemporary relationships between city and industry? What might future relationships between city and industry look like? What physical planning and design strategies should cities pursue to retain, attract, and increase manufacturing activity? These questions point to the limitations of the current planning and architectural paradigm in addressing manufacturing, and the need to conceptualize new planning strategies that would respond to and help cities adapt to current trends in manufacturing.

Spatial adaptation to manufacturing is required at the regional, city and local scales, in both existing and new settings, and considering, not merely the physicality of space, but also its social and political characteristics.

Manufacturing as an appropriate and even desirable activity within the city.

A deeper awareness – a true consciousness-raising – is necessary if we are to dispel lingering misconceptions that portray industry as always unsafe and polluting and instead, present manufacturing as an appropriate and even desirable activity within the city. This attitude must be altered if industry is to be welcomed back, to resume its role as a good (and productive) urban citizen. Manufacturers who take pride in their work will encourage the public to share in their fulfillment.

Spatial challenges associated with urban manufacturing This project is about redefining the role of industry in our urban areas, making it an integral part of our cities. Due to global economic dynamics and rising labour and transportation costs, domestic urban-centred production is making a comeback. Seizing this opportunity has important implications for cities, which stand to benefit from new investments and increased employment opportunities. In looking at the spatial challenges associated with urban manufacturing this project examines the evolution of spatial relationship between cities and industrial environments, as well as the mapping of existing industrial prototypes. W The role of industry in the city The aim of analyzing varied prototypes of the city–industry relationship is to increase understanding of city–industry dynamics and to promote manufacturing as a key to the development of future cities. The connection between cities and industries in contemporary times suggests that a major opportunity is emerging to redefine the role of industry in the city, making it as much a part of the urban fabric as housing or commerce.

In addition to the technological and market forces that have pushed manufacturing outside of the urban core, firms in developed countries are facing both the challenges and opportunities of globalized markets.

Industry and commerce are being reshaped by digital technologies and flexible borders that foster the flow of ideas, goods, and services; reduce barriers to international partnerships; and streamline the application of innovations in production and trade.

As a first step in order to generate the income for the existing

manufacturing units. One thing is vacating the existing units and clearing the site and the second idea is without dismantling the working manufacturing units. If we clear the site, the manufacturing units a will nit comeback to their previous locations. This kind of manufacturing do not support such kind of relocation moves. So one of the major design moves is building on the existing units. Since the existing units are owns by the mechanists, they will get benefited by this upcoming space, which eventually they are going to sell. A benefit that can be experienced by this generation.
