Preface

Pune is known as the cultural capital of Maharashtra and the Queen of Deccan. During the Peshwa period, the rulers invited people from various areas

who has specialized skills to come and settle in Pune. As a result, many professionals who were non-Maharashtrians came and settled in the city. Alis formed the places where these groups stayed together and carried out their trade and commerce. Socially, economically and culturally, they were micro-units that over a period of time got merged with the whole city’s development.

In olden times, there were various artforms which were specific to a community and which, even still, define the culture of a community. These

communities usually develop around the capital region. In case of Pune, it was around Kasba Peth which was the original centre of Pune during the Mughal time, that the supporting trades got located. Thus, it is no doubt why we find Tambat ali, Kumbhar wada, Burud Ali, Bardan Ali, Bohri Ali, etc. near Kasba Peth itself. Alis is a street or a group of streets inhabited by people of a community pursuing one trade. These Alis get the name of the profession/ trade that is being carried out. As trade expanded and more families migrated, surrounding areas were also occupied and developed.

Social and community spaces came up around the houses.

‘What is it that makes Pune known for its culture?’ ‘How is it that an entire community with same occupation stay together?’ ‘What gives these community areas its names?’ These were the questions I have always had ever since I understood about the Alis of Pune. I was fascinated to find where the entire community practices a single type of occupation come from and what got them together. This led me to study more about these communities and thus I encountered the concept of ‘Alis’. These Alis played a major role in getting Pune its name: Cultural capital of Maharashtra.

There are various Alis in Pune. The prominent Alis were- Kumbhar wada, Tambat ali, Burud Ali, Tambakhu Ali, Badhai Ali, Pagadband Ali, Bardan Ali,

Kolsa Ali, amongst others. Amongst the above mentioned Alis, there already has been significant amount of efforts seen by local NGOs and government for upliftment of the Kumbhar wada and Tambat Ali. With the ban on Tambakhu (tobacco), this community is shifting to other professions. The Badhai ali is still quite known for its contribution to carpentry. Pagadband Ali, the community known for making Pagdis and Bardan Ali, the community known for making gunny bags, have now become extinct with all its practitioners practising different professions. The Kolsa Ali has somehow managed to have survived with only two- three families practicing manual glass blowing which are also attached to companies now.

Burud Ali, came up to be a community making bamboo and cane furniture and household items. Burud Ali sits right behind the New Mandai in Pune.

Surprisingly, there is not much information about the origin and earlier trade practices of the bamboo artists. Attempts to record their life and times have revealed, by means of oral history from the present-day artisans, that the Burud community was part of Maharashtra’s now abolished caste and hierarchy practice of the Bara Balutedar system. Balutedars were domestic help hired to perform daily tasks for merchants or landlords. With initially over 3000 artisans (based on oral history by artisans) practising, now only 60 artisans (14 families) are practicing the art form. With a ban over plastic, the demand for alternative items have boomed and demand for Bamboo and cane items and paper items have increased multi-folds. However, Buruds still struggle to get minimum income to suffice their family needs. Upon survey and interview, it was noticed that this decline is due to the lack of infrastructure and lack of motivation to continue practicing the artform. The new generation is not preferring to continue this occupation due to

financial issues but it was also found that 80% people are ready to continue their family legacy provided some assurance that they are able to make income sufficient enough to run their family.

The inspiration for this project has been the concept of ‘community living’ along with the concept ‘live and work’. Providing the community with direct funds to uplift themselves will be a temporary solution wherein there is no permanent guideline to work and earn. This is where architecture comes in by providing design solution and indirect help to the community where the community has freedom to experiment and survive rather than being dependent on any external source of direct income. The objectives of this project include: giving the Buruds the required infrastructure, promoting research and development of bamboo and bamboo products, encourage bamboo plantations, better space utilisation of the new Mandai area by proving holistic approach to the neighbourhood, giving the community a breathing space and a space to host their festivals and functions, collecting maximum rain water and using it for bamboo plantations, amongst others. The detailed design solution is covered in the design section of the book.

There are, however, numerous ways to promote and uplift the community, this project is one of the models for development. This project is based on

the belief that the art and culture should be promoted at its source of origin. The project focuses on uplifting the community by showcasing its skills on a larger scale, by building the project in phases but in bamboo itself. The phasing of the project and its funding is explained in later chapter.

This book is divided in various chapters based on references, design, structure, details, etc which will guide the reader to understand the complete development of the project. There are some standard joinery details which have been included in the data section of the book. Other details are provided in the design section where deemed necessary. The references and data referred in this book is used purely for academic purposes only and its source is duly citied in the bibliography section.

Revitalizing the neighbourhood of Burud Ali, Pune

Area of Interest/Concern Revitalise a neighbourhood with urban inserts and pause points along the street such that the street and the neighbourhood become active and the street is accessible by all user group of the society.

Introduction In olden times, there were various artforms which were specific to a community and which, even still, define the culture of a community. These communities usually develop around the capital region. In case of Pune, it was around Kasba Peth which was the original centre of Pune during the Mughal time, that the supporting trades got located. Thus, it is no doubt why we find Tambat ali, Kumbhar wada, Burud Ali, Bardan Ali, Bohri Ali, etc. near Kasba Peth itself. Alis is a street or a group of streets inhabited by people of a community pursuing one trade. These Alis get the name of the profession/ trade that is being carried out.

Urban Revitalization refers to a set of initiatives aimed at reorganizing an existing neighbourhood structure particularly in decline due to economic or social reasons. Urban revitalization initiatives generally include improving features of the urban environment, the need for improved community engagement and occupation of the public spaces, providing new facilities

Possible research questions • What is it that makes Pune known for its culture?

• How is it that an entire community with same occupation stay together?

• What gives these community areas its names?

Revitalise a neighbourhood with urban inserts and pause points along the street such that the street and the neighbourhood become ac�ve and the street is accessible by all user group of the society.

• What are the things that are making the neighbourhood less active?

• How can the street be activated?

• How to enhance the give and take relation between the inserts and public?

• What are the essential elements a neighbourhood must have?

• What are the key elements for making the neighbourhood accessible for all user groups of the society?

Context of the site Burud Ali, came up to be a community making bamboo and cane furniture and household items. Burud Ali sits right behind the New Mandai in Pune. Surprisingly, there is not much information about the origin and earlier trade practices of the bamboo artists.

The concept of this touchstone was to show how a design can influence its neighbouthood. The entire board is a neighbourhood which is dieing and turning to greyscale. The inserts of this project will act as anchor points and will revitalize not only its immediate context but some strands of the inserts will also spread accross the neighbourhood and add some colour to the neighbourhood.

The reason for choosing strings was to depict that every individual or place in a neighbourhood is connected to each other with an invisible string.

2.1 Bamboo Resources in India

2.0 Current State of Knowledge

The origin of the word Bamboo comes from the Malay word "Mambu". Malay is the national language of Malaysia and Indonesia. In the late 16th century (1590-1600) the Dutch named it "Bamboes" after which it got its Neo-Latin name "Bambusa". Bamboo belongs to the Bambusoideae subfamily of the perennial evergreen grass family Poaceae.

Bamboos on do not increase in diameter or height. A single bamboo culm reaches full height in just one growing season. It then persists for several years, gradually increasing the number of side branches and branchlets, but neither growing broader or taller.Another important difference is that bamboos don't have a bark as trees do, they have protective leaves around the culm (culm sheaths) in their early stages of development.

Bamboo is one of the commercially cultivated crops in India and it is also considered as ‘a poor man’s timber’. India is the second largest producer of Bamboo in the world after China. The yearly bamboo production in the country is estimated at around 3.23 million tons. In Asia, bamboo is the most integrated part of the culture and is used as a substitute to woods. It is mainly used as construction material, furniture, pulp and plywood. India is very fortunate to be blessed with good bamboo resources. Moreover, the bamboo shoots are consumed as food and are considered good source of nutrition. The northeastern states are the major bamboo producing states in the country.

Although there are around 136 species of bamboo that exist in the country, still only some of them are commercially feasible. Bamboo is grown on 10 million hectares in India and covers almost 13 per cent of the total forest area. The total production of bamboo is five million tonnes per year. About 8.6 million people depend on bamboo for their livelihood.

From the tender shoots as a delicacy food item to the rice cooked in the hollow of raw bamboo, it is part of everyday life. From house construction to flooring, agricultural implements, bamboo pervades all aspects of life and culture. We find artistic skills in bamboo weaving in these regions.

The advantage of bamboo is manifold compared to monoculture tree plantations. After planting, bamboo clumps start yielding after 4-7 years. It can become part of agro forestry practice in small land holdings.

2.2 Types of Bamboos and their uses

2.0 Current State of Knowledge

Gigantochloa Rostrata

Dendrocalamus Strictus

This is a tufted bamboo, with culms 5-8m high and 2-2.5cm diameter. It is very flexible and easily available in Maharashtra. It can be very well used or arches and curves.

It is almost solid or its internodes are thick walled which gives it immense strength.

They are 8-16m high and 2.5-8cm diameter and easily available across india. It can be very well used for horizontal girders, truss members or tieing members.

Bambusa Tulda

Dendrocalamus Giganteus

This bamboo is a native of eastern India but can be easily cultivated else where due to its low maintenance requirement. It is the second strongest bamboo and easily grown bamboo. It can be used for columns and arches.

2.3 Bamboo cultivation and storage Climate Requirement

The bamboo plantation grows well in hot to warm temperate climatic conditions. But it must be remembered that it doesn’t require temperature below 15 degree Celsius in the summers. Since the bamboo has thin roots as well as ample growth, you must make provisions to protect it from strong winds.

Soil Requirement

Bamboos can be grown and cultivated on a wide variety of soils except for rock-strewn soils. Bamboo plantation also requires well drained sandy soil to clay soil that should have a ph range of 4.5 to 6.0.

Propagation

Normally, the bamboos are propagated through the culms cuttings or rhizomes. But they can also be propagated through the seeds, which are very rarely available. Bamboo seedlings are basically raised on nursery beds and for a year or so they are allowed to grow on poly pots. Later the seedling is transferred into the main field. In the rhizome planting method, a little care is needed. Here, culms of 1 year along with roots should be dug and cut into 1 meter size and be planted in the rainy season.

Bamboo produces new canes (culms) in the Spring. These shoots emerge out of the ground and grow in height and diameter for around 60 days. During this 60 day period, it will produce limbs and leaves.

After the 60 day period of growth, the bamboo cane never grows in height or diameter again. Bamboo doesn’t experience secondary growth like trees or most flora. It will put on new foliage every year, and a cane typically lives for 10 years.

Bamboo is a member of the grass family. It is a colony plant, so it uses energy from this existing plant to produce more plants and expand the root structure. The new plants will grow in the same manner. New shoots emerge to turn into a cane with limbs and leaves within a 60 day period.

Bamboo takes about three years to get established. Once established the new shoots that emerge in the Spring (they will still only grow for 60 days) will continue to get bigger and more numerous from year to year as the colony grows towards maturity. It takes a varying number of years (4-15) for different species to reach their maximum size. This is dependent on species selection, soil, sunlight, climate and watering conditions

Irrigation

Irrigation must be done regularly while the bamboos are grown on nursery beds. Immediate water should be provided at the time of Images and data source: Lewis Bamboo transplanting seedlings from nursery to main field. It must be noted Bamboo growth over time that bamboo trees are sensitive to water logging hence you must drain out the soil especially during heavy rainfall or flooding. You can also adopt drip irrigation system for better utilization of water.

Bamboo quality over time

Harvesting

The harvesting can be started from the fifth year onwards. On the other hand, in case of commercial farming, harvesting must be done from the sixth year. In the first harvest – sixth year, 6 culms can be harvested followed by 7 culms in the seventh year and so on. The unit cost for one acre of bamboo plantation is around Rs 9400 spread over a period of five years. Harvesting starts from the sixth year onwards.

2.4 Bamboo Drying Drying bamboo poles requires more time than wood of similar density. This because bamboo possess hygroscopic materials (compound that easily absorbs moisture) that may contain 50-60% moisture content, depending on the felling season, area of growth and species.When bamboo dries it contracts and shrinks.

This shrinkage starts from the moment the bamboo is cut, and can reduce the diameter of the bamboo poles with 10% to 16%, and its wall thickness with 15% to 17%.

Green bamboo poles should not be used in construction. Since green bamboos are subject to shrinkage, joints and terminals may loosen after just a few weeks. Green bamboo is also more attractive to insects and microorganisms, than dry bamboo.

Points to remember:

1. Keep the culms away from direct soil contact to prevent fungal or insects-attacks 2. Provide good ventilation (air circulation).

3. Vertical stacking gives faster drying and less chances of fungal attack.

4. Stacking should be done on raised platforms, or placed on a thick plastic sheet to avoid soil contact.

5. Use separators between each row of bamboo for better air circulation.

6. For uniform drying, the bamboo poles should be rotated in the longitudinal direction every 15 days.

7. Storing bamboo in water is useful when bamboo needs to maintain its pliability or when it needs to be processed in its "green" condition. Storage in water causes leaching of starch (sugars) and is also used as a traditional bamboo preservation technique.

8.Kiln oven drying is not recommended for round bamboos. Even under mild drying conditions, higher temperatures can enhance the incidence of cracking and collapse. Split bamboos, however, can easily be kiln oven dried.

2.5 Bamboo Chemical Treatment

Bamboo Leaching

Chemical preservation ensures long term protection. With a few exceptions, chemical preservatives to protect bamboo against biological attacks and degradation are toxic. Selection and application has to be done with great care to meet performance, environment requirements and safety.

Depending upon the carrier solvents, bamboo preservatives are divided into 2 different categories: Non-fixing and fixing type preservatives. Non-fixing preservatives will leach out the bamboo when exposed to rain. In other words non-fixing type preservatives are NOT suited for outdoor use.

Non-Fixing Type Preservatives

Non-fixing bamboo preservatives mainly consist of boron salts, which are effective against borers, termites and fungi (except soft rot fungi). These boron salts are dissolved in water. After treatment, the water evaporates leaving the salts inside the bamboo. They are not toxic and can be used for treating bamboo products like baskets, dry containers, etc. which come in contact with food products.

Storing bamboo in water or "leaching bamboo" is a traditional bamboo preservation method.

Initially, when transporting bamboos over rivers, which generally takes 3 to 4 weeks, the starch content of the poles is subjected to a leaching process that tends to decrease the starch level and increases its durability. Therefore, when arriving at their destination, the bamboo culms are less susceptible to attacks of microorganisms and insects.

This method of immersing bamboo in water is still used today. It is also recommended for storing bamboo, used in craft and mat applications where pliability is required.

However, leaching alone, doesn't guarantee long term protection but it does helps to remove starch and enhances permeability for future treatment by diffusion and pressure treatments.

Points to remember:

Curing bamboo with borax and boric acid is the most popular bamboo preservation method (for indoor use) around the world because it is effective and more environmentally friendly than other wood preservatives.

1. When immersing round bamboo, nodes should be punctured before leaching. That way, water can run easily true out the bamboo cane.

2. Bundle the bamboo culms or splits and store them in running water or tanks.

3. When stored in tanks with stagnant water, change the water weekly to prevent growth of bacteria which will cause staining and bad odor.

4. An excessive time in water (after 3 months) causes stains in the epidermis of the bamboo and has the consequence to decrease its physical and mechanical properties.

The Central Market, named after Governor Reay, now Jyotiba Phule Market, and referred to as Mandai, consists of a large octagonal central tower with Gothic features and arms radiating from it. It was designed by Colonel W.M. Ducat.

R.E. This had become a common plan for 19th century markets all over India. The arms housed the vendors’ stalls while the tower was used for Municipal offices. This 80 ft (24.35m) structure was constructed during the British rule. Commissioned

by Municipality of Poona in 1882 , it was opened to public on 5th October, 1886.

Functioning as a vegetable market for over 100 years, it has around 1,438 stalls of vegetables and fruits.

The neighbourhood of Mandai encompases multiple schools, colleges and restaurants within 500m radius.

There are 2 bus stops within 200m of the site and is easily accessible. There are hospitals too in the neighbourhood but none are in 500m radius. Tulsibaug is 400m away from mandai.

The major roads are Bajirao road and Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaja Road and has Laxmi Road towards North.

The Old Mandai inhabits various activities around it ranging from bangle market to flower market and has shops apart from fruits and vegetables. There are two parking lots in immediate vicinity to the mandai. The google map shows that the mandai area has high traffic flow at all times.

In 1990 a new Mandai was set up behind the old colonial building to accomodate the increase in the number of vegetable sellers. Today this is also not sufficient, causing a drastic spill over of things from both the old and the new market.

The New mandai seems to be just in opposition to the existing built fabric and doesn’t go with the context. Both the parking lots are G+4 and houses 300/400 cars each.

Burud Ali is the lane of bamboo and cane workers; and their woven-ware vary in shape, size and use. While in the early days, utilitarian bamboo baskets — for carrying and storing vegetables — kept the market going, in the past two-three decades, functionality along with aesthetics is needed to generate huge demand for bamboo decorative items. Lampshades, rolling curtains or decorative baskets, brooms, ladders, etc. the artisans now make both individual and commercial decorative products. But the wheel of time has changed the fate of most traditional craftsmen in India. Factorymade goods are more popular with people, and plastic wins hands down over cane. While this community have a legacy of rich handicraft and history, they are not sure if their children will pursue this profession. They say they will be very happy to teach their children the skill of weaving but it can’t be forced on them. Income constraints is yet another challenge.
