CHAPTER 01

EXUBERENCE I N T E R G E N E R AT I O N A L COMPLEX

4

Project type: Individual Semester: 10 Category: Mixed-Use Project Location: Dubai Science Park, Al Barsha Subject: Architecture Thesis Built-up area: 14,256 sq.m Exuberance Intergenerational complex is an outcome of the thesis design topic that focusses on Intergenerational Spaces for senior citzens and children in built envionments. it is a proposed mixed-use complex includes recreational amenities as well as housing for the UAE’s older population. The recreational facility focuses on intergenerational zones that bring together children and the elderly. The aim of the project is to foster active ageing of senior citizens in UAE. Major requirements for the complex are residence for senior citizens, recreational and entertainment facilities, early learning centre and public services. The idea of a vertical village is devised, with Public plaza and facilities in the lower stratum, recreational facilities for seniors and children in the mid stratum, and a Community Park with apartments for senior citizens in the upper stratum. These three major requirements juxtapose the various building uses in a hierarchy to foster diversity of cross-programming and support inter-generational bonding and promote active ageing in place.

SITE ANALYSIS

P H Y S I C A L A N A LY S I S TERRAIN

A C C E S S I B I LT Y

PA R K I N G

Circulation: There is a 2m wide pedestrian walkway to the northern periphery of the site. The are two pedestrian crossing located on the primary access.

Bus stops: One bus stop is located at the northern edge of the site.

Public parking spaces, as well as accessible parking, are available on the site’s northern boundary.There are two pedestrian crossings situated along the edge of the site.

The site has a fairly plain topography with a gradual rise of 2m from the west to East of the site. The countours are levelled over the course of design.

S O I L C O N D I T I O N / V E G E TAT I O N The site has alluvial soil with little gravels. There is existing wild desert vegetation to the north and east of the site. The northern periphery of the site is bounded by trees of varying sizes.

Site Location: Dubai Science Park, Al Barsha South, Dubai, UAE Total Site Area: 31,369 sq.m

S W O T A N A LY S I S STRENGTH -The site is free from the hustle and bustle of the city -Calm and soothing environment -Location of school and kindergarten in close vicinity can promote intergenerational interaction -Accessibility from Umm Al Suqeim Road -Proximity to facilities including hospitals, mosque and leisure activities -Residential communities near the site -Connectivity to the Green Escape park

S I T E I N F O R M AT I O N NEIGHBOURING CONTEXT

OPPORTUNITY -Lack of nurseries nearby the site increases the potential for day-care and nurseries.

-The site has the potential to bring in elderly citizens due to its prime location within the residential areas - Lack of various facilities for senior citizens and children within the community creates the potential for incorporating these facilities within the complex -Developing an intergenerational center with optimum facilities, latest technologies and compactible design for the elderly and children could be the first of its kind to the communities of Al Barsha, Dubai.

-Potential for development of green spaces within to foster intergenerational interaction

THREAT -Since this project to build an intergenerational complex for the elderly and children is a unique approach in Dubai’s neighborhood, reaching out to senior citizens around the region could be challenging.

CONCEPT: ACHEIVING “IKIGAI” THROUGH

Megha Pramod

Elements in Design

ARCHITECTURAL PHENOMENOLOGY

Ikigai (‘a reason for being’) is a Okinawan origin Japanese concept referring to something that gives a person a sense of purpose, a reason for living. It can be acheived from an early stage in life. Understanding ones ikigai can be from exploration by children to adopting passion by senior citizens. Architecture plays a predominant role in creating environments for attaining a sense of purpose within each individual.

These platforms can be created by incorporating Architectural phenomenology for all the desired spaces to foster growth and healing.

FUNCTIONAL ZONING The two major functions are placed on site. The senior citizens centre is placed towards the east of the side considering the north-east wind direction and larger mass of the component.

DISINTEGERATION The two blocks are stretched out to break away and create a retail space inspired by traditional souq in between. The intergenerational spaces are placed in the first level creting a more safe and secure environment to foster intergenerational interactions.

CURVATURE The building form is curved to blend in with the context of the community. The retail spaces are extended outward for better connectivity.

INTROVERTED ZONES Courtyards are added for creating introverted open spaces for the function. First floor is pulled outward for natural shade from the harsh solar radiation.

VISUAL CONNECTIVITY Two major streets are created for public engagement.

Opening on ground level and first level are made for cross ventilation and visual connectivity.

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT Public plaza becomes a hub for bringing community together. Green pockets are provided with seating as socializing zones.

CHAPTER 02

THE CADENCE OF CREEK

Project type: Individual Semester: 6 Category: Performance Arts Centre Project Location: Dubai Creek Park Subject: Architecture Design Built-up area: 8,568 sq.m

Performance Arts Centre design aims in creating a design that potentially brings the site and the surroundings within blending in with the functions of the centre to create a dynamic environment at all points. The design portrays the enegry of the centre itself through its form. The synchronization of the rhythm and harmony found in dance and the element existing site Creek that is water is picked up to develop the design.

In the way how creation of a dance involves a sequence of rhythmic movements which are linked together, water ripples created also involves a series of movements. The harmony in ripple effect is incorporated to develop the form of the structure. Instead of a concentric ripple effect, ripple effect is portrayed in a linear direction fading out towards the creek. and the functions are accomodated based of the energy levels generated within each of them.

CONCEPT : HARMONY IN DANCE ANDofWATER Dance is a performing art form consisting purposefully selected sequences of human movement.

Similarly, water has its own gradual movement. Harmony is a combination of separate but related parts in a way that the uses their similarities to bring unity in any object.

DANCE IS A PERFORMING ART FORM CONSISTING OF PURPOSEFULLY SELECTED SEQUENCES OF HUMAN MOVEMENT. ALSO WATER HAS ITS OWN GRADUAL MOVEMENT. HARMONY IS A COMBINATION OF SEPARATE BUT RELATED PARTS IN A WAY THAT THE USES THEIR SIMILARITIES TO BERING UNITY IN ANY OBJECT. HARMONY OF FLOWING RHYTHM PROVIDES A MOTION OF MOVEMENT AND IS ORGANIC IN NATURE.

DESIGN FEATURES

MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGY UNDULATING FACADE Smooth beige textured light weight Aluminium facade cladding • mimics the waves of the the creek • visual treat for users • play of light and shadow in the interiors as the wave like facade depicts the same in the interiors.

THE RIPPLE EFFECT ROOF A waterproof membrane, made of fiberglass and Teflon, covers the entire building and protects the structure from rain, sun and wind. The membrane is translucent, allowing 15% of the light to pass through it, revealing the rhombus structural system of the roof at night when the building is illuminated from the inside. This works similarly to how the surroundings generate reflections of light on water, causing it to sparkle at night.

SITE ANALYSIS

VOLUMETRIC STUDY

Density

Discovery Gardens is a residential area located within the district of Jebel Ali between Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311). Hence, it is also called Jebel Ali Discovery Gardens. The community was one of the popular family-friendly projects to take off near the Jebel Ali Free Zone. It is a particular favourite among expatriate families who commute frequently to the neighbouring commercial zones. Spanning 26 million sq. ft., it features spacious multi-sized apartment towers surrounded by lush foliage and manicured lawns.

MODES OF TRANSPORT Mass Transportation - METRO The EXPO 2020 route runs along the south west periphery of discoverygardens with three operational stations - The Gardens, Discovery gardens and Al Furjan metro stations. Each station can serve 6770 riders per hour during peak times and 125,000 riders per day ( as per RTA). Also each station is accomodated with two rail barding platforms, four bus stands, 20 taxi stands and two parking slots for people of determination.

PEDESTRIAN

MICRO-MOBILITY The modes of micromobility in Discovery Gardens mainly comprises of escooters, cycles, skates and skateboards. They are mainly used by the residents to either access the retail cluster or the metro stations.

CAR The pedestrians have multiple walking environments provided within discovery gardens.

The residents predominately walk to the retail stores to get their day to day needs, to metro stations and to access community facilites

Discovery Garden Dubai can be accessed by the two Ibn Battuta exits on Sheikh Zayed Road ,Mohammed Bin Zayed RoadandAl Khail Roadmaking it easy for the neighborhoods communters. The curved roads are designed very thoughtfully keeping the speed limit of 40km/hr for the seconday roads

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION- BUS/TAXI

Building Clusters

The neighbourhood is extremely well connected by the bus network. The F42 and F43 feeder buses and Bus 85 from the station help you navigate within the community. They can also hop onto one of the RTA taxis that regularly circulate around the area.

ENVIRONMENTS IDENTIFIED

CONCEPTUAL ZONING DIAGRAM

After the analysis of the entire, design development began by wayfinding to the discovery gardens metro station. Since average walking distance is 800m, a catchment radius of 800m was plotted from the metro station to find the potential users of the station. The challenge of this station was to bring the users from Discovery Gardens 1, due to the harsh environment they have to pass through in order to reach the station.

Then the possible route that a user from each building would take was laid out along with the distance and time. Due to the overlap of the catchment areas, routes to neighboring stations were also marked and accordingly selected buildings were eliminated as shown in the table. Based on the typical routes different environments a person would encounter were identified

1. Courtyards 2. Transition space 3. In between courtyards 4. In between buildings

CONCEPT: WATER - A GUIDING ELEMENT When it comes to Discovery Gardens, be it the roads, the buildings, the green spaces, everything is perfectly connected except for the swimming pools which are disconnected both visually and physically.

Hence, taking up swimming pool or in the narrow sense taking up water as a concept to guide and aid graceful fluid movements right from the start of the journey upto their destination. Hence there is a subtle attempt to recreate the same motion of water as it emerges from a water source and finally terminates its journey onto a larger entity which is the sea or ocean onto our project. Incorporating water in the journey also provides various benefits including passive cooling and enhancing microclimate.

Water will be used for orientation and guiding the users from their courtyards to the station with a hierarchy of water elements smallest starting from the courtyards progressing to the largest in the station area.

ENVIRONMENT 3: IN BETWEEN COURTYARDS

ENVIRONMENT 5: STREETS

This space in between the courtyards is an environment full of energy, where kids play, socialize and is another zone through which with out design intervention we intend to show that breakout space just like how water meanders and makes its way to next stream of water. A place where we can socialize and be guided by water.

Streets is one of the main environments when it comes to proper wayfinding and navigation. Hence emphasizing its beauty with water. This serves as a visual treat for both drivers and passengers along the street and water also segregates vehicular and pedestrian traffic keeping the momentum intact.

ENVIRONMENT 7: POTENTIAL NODE

HARDSCAPE MATERIALS

The potential node is so identified, because of its frequent use after the intervention of the metro station. Hence it was necessary to improve the environment such that it aids more and more people in using the discovery gardens metro station, along with incorporating our main concept of water as a guiding element.

SHADING AND LIGHTING STRATEGIES Lighting - The Lighting of the various zones is done by the 1.Bollards 2. Pedestrian Lighting and 3.Streets.

The minimal and modern design blends with the streetscape and provides the necessary illumination.

Lighting below the water elements are also provided to navigate the users from each environments.

Shading - Following the same lines of fluidity from the urban design intervention concept, a shading structure was devised as shown. It performs its function efficiently while not overpowering the very root of the concept. For shading the streets and pathways a blend of shading structures and trees and used for creating a more harmonious environment.

FURNITURE Seating :

Since streets are the main elements of our design, choosing flowering trees with red and white pallete accentuated the beautiful journey of walking along those streets.

When it comes to seating, an attempt was made to break free from the tradition straight line benches to a more ground emerging or a more blending with the concept of seating.

OPTIMIZATION WITH POLYDOMY, THE ANT COLONY The organization and adaptive function of complex nest systems in ants. Many species spread their colonies between multiple spatially separated but socially connected nests, this phenomenon is known a Polydomy.

Polydomous species are ecologically and phylogenetically diverse, and often economically significant as invasive pests. Benefits of polydomy may include risk spreading, efficient resource exploitation and ergonomic factors. Very little is known about the costs of polydomy; facultatively polydomous species are good candidates for identifying costs. Analysing polydomous colony structure provides insights into which costs and benefits are driving the colony organisation; for example, a cross-species analysis of inter-nest trail networks shows structural features related to long-distance transport efficiency.

• •

Spatial structure- multiple nests Potential to increase colony size irrespective of nest level constraints.

• Inter nest improves communication.

• Multiple entry points an several centres.

• Widespread social structure of multiple species of ants.

• Survival instinct is collective and effective • Progress by self organization- Stigmery This concept has been incorporated in the design to develop a user friendly community. In order to satisfy the needs and expectations of the neighborhood.

The protype proposed has an area of 26.5 sq.m and is predominently composed of cross-laminated timber (CLT). It is a wood panel product made from gluing together layers of solid-sawn lumber, i.e., lumber cut from a single log. Each layer of boards is usually oriented perpendicular to adjacent layers and glued on the wide faces of each board, usually in a symmetric way so that the outer layers have the same orientation.

The module consists of a small porch, living space, kitchen, bed space and a bathroom. The entire protoype is rased on stilts, so tat it allows easy flow of ater during floods and it also comprises of a sloping roof thereby making the drainage effective .

Prefabricated housing arises as an ideal solution to the rising homeless in the state. The consructon method to be adopted is prefabrication as it these panels can be esaily customized and manufactured allowing for easy asembly on site. Since the site is located in Margao city, it has close proximity to Wooden Homes, a prefabrication and wood manufacturing company. This can increase the rate of constrction in a short span of time for the homeless citizens in the area.

Modular Construction and Techniques FOUNDATION SYSTEM

STRUCTURAL SYSTEM- Cross Laminated panels PFI’s innovation is to bring pin pile technology into common use with a superior connector—the Diamond Pier concrete head. This high-strength, precast component is a driving guide, a pin piling lock, and a structural connection all in one.

The structural system comprises of various types of cross laminated timber. A prefabricated building material, CLT is a panel made from planks of sawn and glued wood, which are layered perpendicular to each previous layer to create structural rigidity and resilience in both directions.

As a driving guide, the pier maintains the pin angles so that their capacity is definable and consistent. As a lock, the pier is designed to increase its grip on the pin cluster when loaded up, down, or sideways—getting stronger and tighter as loads increase. And as a connection, an embedded anchor bolt and precast, post-matching shape make it a simple and proportional complement to its supported structure.

The panels are custom-manufactured to meet the building’s specifications, then crane-guided onto the building site. CLT panels are usually three, five, seven, or nine layers of 2x6 lumber. For this prototype, 5 ply timber is used. CLT is also considered sustainable an economical, in part because it’s made from wood, which is a renewable resource.

This composite pier combined with the bearing pin group forms the Diamond Pier system—a hybrid of familiar concrete and steel materials.

It provides a solid, stable, economical foundation that both captures and preserves the supporting strength and natural functions of the Earth’s soil .

Constrction Method- Prefabrication

VIEWS

Prefabricated wood building kits are made up of prefabricated components delivered and assembled on site, much like life-sized Lego. This is most often achieved using prefabricated panels that can form entire sections of a building such as roofing components or structure (ceiling, decking and beams), building structure (wall panels, beams, columns and shear panelling) and even glazing packages (walls with built in windows and entrances).

Panels can be open—that is a preassembled wall that is later fitted with insulation, weather barriers and cladding—or closed, such as a total preassembled wall panel complete with windows, doors, plumbing, electrical and finishes.

MATERIAL

PLAN

Cork is a unique material characterized by its porous texture, softness, and lightweight quality. There is a growing move to use sustainable materials in building construction, with cork is increasingly emerging as a durable, environmentally friendly option. The material used for the installation will be caramel cork. 15mm cork panels are sandwiched together to create the complete structure.

The texture of cork stimulates touch of the material and develops a warmth and relaxes the eyes.
