01 Empowering Youth A Skill Training Institute

“The Ignited Mind of the Youth is the Most Powerful Resource on the Earth, Above the Earth & Below the Earth”

-Dr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam

The youth are the backbone of any nation. They have been a driving force for the social and economic growth of a nation and play an important role in nation-building and economic development. They are the future leaders, entrepreneurs, and employees who will help drive the growth of the nation.

The proposal is a skill training institute that would cater to the growing needs of society and serve as a catalyst for individual empowerment, socio-economic development, and contribute to nation-building efforts. It would help an individual by

• Sharpening Critical skills

• Provide more and equal opportunities

• Provide financial stability

• Reducing the skill gap between education and employment

• Providing certification, accreditation, recognition, and standardization of their skills.

CONTEXT

Strengths:

Strategic Location & connectivty: Site proximity to both Ahmedabad & Gandhinagar can attract a lot of students and faculty.The site is well connected by road network with the city of Ahmedabad situated at a distance of around 25 kms & Gandhinagar located approximately 40 kms away.

Government Support: Support & collaboration from state government institutions and policies.

The zone of Nasmed village has been declared as a Education & Knowledge Hub as per the 2021 master plan by AUDA(Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority).

Research Opportunities: Access to research institutions, industry hubs, and government agencies for collaborative research and projects.

Natural Heritage: City’s rich biodiversity and natural heritage can contribute significantly to a rich learning environment.

Weaknesses:

Climate Considerations: Addressing climate-related challenges such as extreme heat & humidity

Competition: Development of other educational institutions in vincinity may lead to competition for students and resources.However it also provides with an oppurtunity for the institiute can act as a pioneer in developing the zone as an educational and institutional zone.

REFERNCE STUDIES

The site is located in Nasmed village located in Karol district of Gandhinagar,Gujarat.The village is located towards the south-west of Gandhinagar and north-west of the city of Ahmedabad.The Thol bird sanctuary famous for flamingos,pelicans and many other birds is in the close vicinity of the village located at a approx distance of 10km from the village center.

PATRONS & FUNDING

Post-Independence, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru pioneered establishing the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) to provide trained technical personnel of international class to the nation who would act as leaders in technology for the newly born independent India & would over time provide scientists & technologists of the highest caliber to engage in research, design, & development of nation’s self-reliance in its technological demands.

The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) were established to impart high-quality management education and training, conduct research, and provide consultancy services in the field of management to various sectors of the Indian economy. These Institutions are recognized as premier management institutions,comparable to the best in the World for teaching, research, and interaction with industries.

Similarly, Under the Guidance of our current PM Shri. Narendra Modi, a Ministry for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) has been formed to focus on enhancing the employability of the youth through skill development.

The MSDE(Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship) has formed NSDC(National Skill Development Corporation) to develop 33 NSTI (National Skill Training Institutes), about 15,000 ITI ( Industrial Training Institutes under DGT( Directorate General of Training) and 187 partners registered with NSDC.NSDF (National Skill Development Fund) has been allocated to aid the development of the institutes.

The Bajaj Group has announced its CSR towards the development of Skill Training Institutes, the TATA’s along with MSDE are developing a Skill Training Institute in Mumbai. Such premier groups can also aid in the funding of the development of the institutional campus

1.It is

2.Ground coverage should be less and maximum amount of land to be given to development of campus both built and unbuilt spaces.

3.The buildings blocks should be connected well with covered passages.

4.Peripheral Service road is important to service the spaces as well as movement of fire tender.

5.Clear segregation of pedestrian and vehicular movement is essential.

6.The campus should have a holistic architectural language.

7.The campus should be universal accessible.

8.It is essential to design good open spaces along with built spaces.

9.Zone of transition between the public and private realm is critical.

Key learnings for design of academic (workshop) spaces:

1. Orientation of work spaces is important.It is important that Workshop spaces receive maximum amount of natural diffused light.

2.Workshop spaces needs to be column free. This provides flexibility in the space and helps to reconfigure,renovate the space as per the need and requirement.

Having a clean large Column Grid helps to have a clean working space along the major movement axis.

3.The workshop service core should not disturb the workflow and maintenance should be done without disturbing the ongoing work.The service grid should be capable to be updated with technological advancements.

4.Service core should be tuck inside the grid without disturbing the production flow.

5.Stacking of similar type of services helps for ease of maintainance.

6.It is important that Workshop spaces have clean segregated movement space of machinery and humans.

7.Vertical stacking of Workshop blocks with different programs is possible.

8.Structural & Service grid should be rationalized and not disturb the function of any of workshop space.

9.Area required per student varies from 5-10 sqm as per the program of workshop.

By have clear span spaces which can help For better integration of natural light sources, such as light shelves/light wells/ skylights.

Improve energy efficiency by reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.

Efficient utilization of space, accommodating diverse activities and configurations.The absence of columns can contribute to a sense of openness, spaciousness, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the workspace. Creating community spaces at various levels

The design brief was to develop a Neighborhood school for 1200 students from 1st grade to 12th grade, with a special plug-in planned according to the need of the neighborhood.

The neighborhood school is a walk-to-school concept.Classrooms were designed to promote collaborative learning among students.The academic and co-academic spaces were designed to promote outdoor learning for the holistic development of the students.

An ecological center was designed on the campus as an interface between the school and the public realm. The aim to design an ecological center was to imbibe sensitivity towards nature right from the grassroots level in the students.

Pune has a footfall of a lot of no.of students for educational, work, and other prospects. Shared accommodation is one of the most preferred modes for residing by these students.The project brief was to create shared accommodation for the students that promotes community living.

The project Sahvas; a community living shared residence, is an effort to depart from the conventional monotony of hostel buildings. The project aims to provide students with community spaces through the hostel at multiple levels as an interface to bridge the gap between students of various disciplines and ages. The idea of community living here is to establish a space that maintains the privacy of every student yet connects them via a built environment creating spaces to interact, share ideas, cherish & create memories that stay forever.

A Public Library is designed at the entrance of campus as an interface between the residents of Habitat and the public realm.

Artist Village

Arts and crafts shape the identity of a region. Arts and crafts are an expression of values. Values respond to the environment, geography, culture, heritage, aesthetics, climate, etc.However, these arts and crafts are on a verge of extinction due to changing nature of the field.Artist Village is a platform for the collaboration of ideas, skills, and culture. The project focuses on 3 traditional arts and crafts Tambat(coppersmiths), Kumbhar(Potters), and Burads(Bamboo craftsmen) are on a verge of extinction. Artist village is an attempt to promote mutual cross-fertilization of ideas and processes by these streams, new products that are a combination of copper, bamboo, and mud are designed, worked upon,installed, displayed, and sold on the campus.The possibilities of limitless inventions. The project is also a platform for urban designers to collaborate with a dedicated stream or combined pool of craftsmen and artisans on campus to design products for national as well as international markets.

Site Location : Parvati, Pune

Site Area : 3500 sq.m

Total Built : 1200 sq.m.

The project brief was to design a 5 Bedroom Residence for you and your family.

The idea was to design a residence that evoked a feeling of home and not just a house, to design spaces that, celebrated the notion of togetherness and affinity yet maintaining each one’s unique identity. All the members of the family enjoy nature the idea was to use nature as a connecting thread between spaces. The landscape has been designed as a congregational space celebrating ‘family’ along with maintaining the privacy of each member of the family.

Abstract:

Migration has led to a large no.of world's population to move from villages and towns to cities for numerous reasons. With the limitation of land in cities architects, planners, and engineers moved their attention from horizontal housing to vertical housing to cater to the growing urban population. The vertical housing models which emerged initially were constructed to cater to the growing needs of accommodation in cities and not based on the cultural structure of the gradual growth of villages into towns and neighbourhoods like traditional architecture. With advancements in science and construction technology, we have been able to build large multi-story buildings rising to ‘n’ no of floors.Services, structural stability, and other aspects have all been addressed, but one of the most crucial factors "social interaction" appears to have been overlooked. In the Indian context, the importance of community spaces becomes even more essential as people are deeply rooted to their culture and profoundly linked to their heritage and traditions.

The research aims to :

1) Understand various factors that need to be considered for the design of community spaces in vertical housing.

2)Find out various spaces that can be designed for providing a strong sense of community at intermediate levels in vertical housing. The research compares three vertical housing schemes through parameters such as percentage of community spaces compared to built, community spaces on ground v/s community spaces at intermediate levels,community space share, accessibility to community spaces etc as a study to find out different community spaces that can be provided in a vertical housing at intermediate levels.

Keywords: Vertical communities,Vertical housing, Community Living, Spatial Arrangement, Spatial configuration,Intermediate levels.

Fig: With whom do people of different age groups visit community spaces
Fig: Time of the day people of different age groups visit community spaces
Fig: Accessibility and Affordability of community spaces.
