FOREWORD I Harini Nagendra Ecologiest and Professor of Sustainability at Azim Premji University

We live in challenging times. With global warming on the rise, and widespread biodiversity loss, the world is truly in the era of the Anthropocene. Cities are ground zero for the global change crisis. Environmental disasters such as floods, cyclones and heat waves, as well as everyday challenges of drought, pollution and disease, are becoming increasingly widespread. While it is well known that coastal cities will face severe challenges of sea level rise and flooding, we less recognize that interior cities such like Bangalore, embedded in semi-arid environments, will face equally severe challenges of heat, drought and pollution. Solutions to these crises must be systemic, understanding that sustainable cities demand reconfigurations that keep society, culture, economics and equity in mind while they work on incorporating new technologies, landscape designs, and retrofits of existing spaces. A common challenge with many design interventions in cities of the global South is the fact that they draw on “universal” approaches that have largely been developed in the urban North, and attempt to fit such blueprints into contexts which are ill suited. Thus, for instance, many green landscaping and eco-restoration projects lead to gentrification and exclusion of the poor as a consequence. In this background, it is encouraging and refreshing to see the work from the studio project, Landscapes of Neccessity, focused on water in Hebbal Kempapura, a peri-urban region at the periphery of the rapidly expanding global mega-city of Bangalore, which exemplifies many of the possibilities and challenges of cities of the global South. Through a series of four proposed designs – Thrive Hebbal, which seeks to integrate wastewater treatment with livelihood opportunities for residents through floriculture; Drop by Drop, which integrates household, community and neighbourhood water flows for resilience; Save the Stream, which aims to revitalize a lost local rainwater-fed stream to increase physical and cultural connections, and Better Lake than Never, which re-visions a lake captured by private interests for recreation, back into a thriving commons – the 13 students of the Landscape Architecture Program at the National University of Singapore have attempted to integrate cultural and physical contexts into alternative visions for a thriving city. In doing so they provide approaches that can be used to stimulate much-needed local conversations around urban revitalization.

FOREWORD II Sriganesh Rajendran Principal Landscape Architect, FICUS, Bengaluru Contemporary Bangalore can be regarded as an instant city. Triggered by economics, the once slowpaced city has been rapidly shaped by a consumptive development streak within a very short period of time, at the cost of significant erasure and irretrievable loss of its landscape layers. Bengaluru city sits on one of the oldest landforms on earth-a rolling terrain of granitic gneiss of semi-arid disposition that benefitted immensely from factors like altitude, soil fertility, rainfall patterns and resultant microclimate. Since prehistoric time, settlements here have met their primary necessities like food in the naturally fertile shallow valleys while the low ridges afforded territorial organization, defensibility and prospect.Rivers, as a determinant of settlement patterns, are conspicuously absent even in the immediate fringe of present day Bengaluru city. This created the second ‘landscape of necessity’: a skillfully articulated system of holding ponds and tanks in shallow, inconspicuous valleys, whose interconnections and management ensured year-round flows in a semiarid, drought-prone landscape. These water systems sustained domestic water needs and irrigation requirements well upto the end of the nineteenth century. A favorable altitude and climate made Bangalore a landscape of necessity for the third time, as an acclimatizing station for introduced crops and plants, especially during British occupancy. Since then, the city has reveled in its fame as a ‘garden city’- a sobriquet which is highly contestable now given the rapid depletion of its green cover. Today, as the city rides on elevated roads into the twenty-first century, it faces existential dilemmas regarding holistic approaches towards revival of its green cover and groundwater. Its remnant tank systems have either become backyard cesspools or stand the danger of becoming exclusive places where they have been revived, often as scenic spots. The edges along these erstwhile landscape commons have conceded important riparian edges to transport infrastructure in the recent past. Now, they often absorb incoming waves of migrant populace that the city is otherwise unwilling to take in, but needs them to meet its daily functioning. The theme ‘Landscape of necessity” is therefore an important optic for re-reading Bengaluru. The study area of Hebbal Kempapura is a good representative of the interaction and interface between nature, economics, people and the city. The studio illustrates that landscape architecture can very capably address the interstitial ground between urbanism, economics and ecology. Given the short window of direct engagement, the preparation and follow-through is very commendable. The strategies outlined by the students emerge from a deep reading of these places and may be regarded as possibilities in other locales in the city, and by extension, other cities. The solutions proposed are tightly woven around the people for whom they are proposed, with an eye on achieving some greater common good. It is hoped that such studies help the city authorities, professionals and citizens in seeing the tight link between the landscape we occupy and the factors that shape it. On behalf of the landscape architects’ group (Rahul Paul, Maithily Velangi and myself) I thank the students for their effort to understand a different cultural milieu and commend them for the professional and articulate work and fine ideas. Thank you Professor Yun Hye Hwang for bringing your studio to Bengaluru, and for the engaging conversations. Hope to see more NUS Landscape Architecture studios in Bengaluru and India soon.

THE FIFTH SERIES OF LANDSCAPE OF NECESSITY Hwang Yun Hye

LANDSCAPE OF NECESSITY studios pay attention to the radical role of landscape architects in issues of everyday landscapes in rapidly growing cities, where everyday landscapes are defined as ecological and socio-cultural spaces in which urban dwellers live and which they experience on daily basis. The series of studios began with an understanding of the need to make everyday landscapes more resilient to environmental change and healthier and more inclusive places to live. In the context of the compact tropical city where land is overpopulated because of massive urban developments, disrupted and disconnected urban ecosystems are major issues. Through a community-engaged process, the studios develop new design strategies integrating blue-green infrastructure into the built, ecological and social urban systems with the aim of envisioning better work, live, and play environments. IN THE STUDIO described in this book, 13 students in the Landscape Architecture program, part of the National University of Singapore, worked to develop a water resilient blue-green infrastructure for the Hebbal kempapura district in Bangalore over a 14-week period (January â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May 2019). Work included preliminary research to understand the site context, in-depth field trips to identify problems and challenges within the assigned community, and design activities producing relevant solutions and techniques. MANY THANKS to the following collaborators: Jessica A. Diehl who framed the structure of the studio together; Harini Nagendra (Azim Premji University) who provided fundamental understanding of the nature of Bangalore; Dr. Annapurna (Jala phoshan) who guided us in the community movement saving lakes of the city; local landscape architects Sriganesh Rajendran (FICUS), Rahul Paul, and Maithily Velangi who gave insightful talks on the blue-green infrastructure of the city; local volunteers Niranjan, Satish, Sandhya Adi, and Sangeetha, who made it possible for us to engage the residents of Hebbal community; and Tan Puay Yok, Herbert Dreiseitl (NUS), Amit Prothi (100 Resilient Cities), Ryan Shubin (RSD), Helen Smith-Yao (STX) who gave guest criticism and offered valuable advice. THIS BOOK is a compilation of work from the studio. The first half of the book documents the sequential studio process with the studio chronology and the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site analysis to explain the context and motivate subsequent design topics. It goes on to describe field trips and ends with design suggestions. Four distinct design outcomes appear in the second half of the book under the following headings: thrive Hebbal; drop by drop; save the stream; better lake than never. The book concludes with reflections on the process. We hope the book will launch new discussions of alternative blue-green infrastructures for resilient cities.

LANDSCAPES OF NECESSITY ENVISIONING A WATER RESILIENT HEBBAL KEMPAPURA Hwang Yun Hye

PREAMBLE/ISSUE Bangalore is water stressed. The water source in Bangalore, apart from the Kavari River, is a hole in the ground. Increase water demand is emptying the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lakes and drying up aquifers. At the same time, the central part of the city is struggling with frequent flooding because of the loss of natural flood storage areas and leaks in hydrologic engineering systems. Students design blue-green infrastructure for the district of Hebbal Kempapura where the area contains various urban landscape typologies within a dense urban village context. These typologies have potentials to be successfully transformed from mono functional spaces into water- resilient landscape infrastructure for integrated water management that could address water-related environmental issues in the city scale. The key issues will be: draught and flooding on a nested scale; associated environmental issues (e.g. wetland degeneration, waste disposal, environmental pollution); water consumption and everyday landscapes; participatory community development against the projected water crisis. SITE This studio project used the context of Bangalore, one of the most rapidly urbanizing cities in India [1]. Greater Bangalore is the administrative, cultural, commercial, industrial, and knowledge capital of the state of Karnataka with an area of 741sq. km. The city administrative jurisdiction was redefined in 2006 by merging the existing area of Bangalore city with 8 neighbouring Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and 111 Villages of Bangalore Urban District. It is currently the fifth largest metropolis in India with a population of about 7 million. Population density has increased from 10,732 (2001) to 13,392 (2011) persons per sq. km. The per capita GDP of Bangalore is approximately $2,066 USD. Hebbal Kempapura, in north Bangalore is selected for this studio, representing an unplanned formal settlement with a culturally diverse and vibrant population experiencing environmental degradation and loss of vital ecosystem services. PROJECT Disrupted and disconnected urban ecosystems (water, agriculture, flora and fauna) resulting from rapid urbanization have detrimental impacts on the health and wellbeing of urban citizens; particularly disadvantaged social groups. Through a community-engaged process, new design strategies were developed to integrate bluegreen infrastructure and/or productive landscapes into the built, ecological and social urban systems with the aim of envisioning better work, live, and play environments. This studio-based module develops an appreciation for design skills in landscape architecture within a city-scale context. Interdisciplinary requirements from planning guidelines, architecture design, engineering limitations; as well as understanding existing natural land and urban systems is introduced into the design process. This studio aimed to address design and planning practices towards the establishment of a liveable city and propose ways to integrate them into Bangalore's urban environment. We capitalized on the academic nature of the studio to develop ideas and schemes free of restrictions commonly faced in practice, and beyond any constraints of political correctness. Multiple issues, such as environmental sustainability, water scarcity, water pollution, biodiversity health and community economic sustainability was examined.

Students were expected to develop their ability to read existing landscapes, to assess the environmental impact of design and planning decisions, and to convert their vision into a feasible landscape architectural form.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND APPROACHES This course aimed to enable students to: - Develop and apply advanced skills in design research and strategic design thinking with a focus on investigating, documenting, and interpreting the landscape across multiple scales. - Demonstrate effective teamwork strategies throughout the design process. - Differentiate and apply different methods for community engagement and integrate findings in the design development. - Learn and apply skills to design landscapes that provide critical resources for urban citizens, meet community needs, and improve/repair/restore urban ecological systems. - Communicate new knowledge that bridges the social and ecological landscape through creation of technically competent, aesthetically pleasing, economically sustainable, culturally and environmentally sensitive, and innovative design solutions at multiple scales. To facilitate the studio objectives, several learning outcomes will be emphasized throughout the semester. A high degree of invention, pragmatism, and practicality is expected in the planning and design proposals. Students will: - Be able to define different types and functions of green-blue infrastructure - Gain an appreciation for integrating complex social and ecological systems into landscape design - Be able to work effectively as part of a team and individually. - Develop skills to engage communities in the design process. - Apply interdisciplinary thinking to real world problems.

ACTIVITIES OVERVIEW This was the second studio in Master Programme of Landscape Architecture, with participants from NUS architecture and graduates from other universities with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture or a degree in an associated field. The 14-week period included three weeks of preliminary research to understand site context, with in-depth input sessions from professionals and field trips to identify problems and challenges. The next three weeks was devoted to applied research activities (including site observation & measurements, surveys and detailed mappings) to acquire knowledge relevant to creating design strategies. The last eight weeks focused on design application, culminating in a convincing design solution for the issues identified as a team member on each of the four subgroups. A group of experts, including landscape architects from Bangalore, founding members of lake revitalization programmes, and researchers in Bangalore's water issues helped students avoid the pitfalls of shallow and superficial interventions in this academic exercise. They offered immediate and accurate perspectives on the challenges of and the opportunities inherent in increasing mobility in high dense cities, propose scientific methods to measure water supply and demand, and explain how collected data can be applied to address these issues. Students were tasked to work in subgroups according to the requirements of each stage of the studio. They ended up with four sub group projects after discussing it with the tutor.

CHRONOLOGY

14 January - 24 April 2019

The studio started off with an introduction to the semesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project brief by studio tutor, Hwang Yun Hye. The students organized themselves into 6 teams to collect related research materials and resources, concerning mainly land use & planning, structure & infrastructure, green space & biodiversity, water & geology, economics & social demography, and culture & community of Bangalore. 14 Jan | Studio Orientation

17 Jan | Site Research and Group Discussion To prepare for the field trip to Bangalore, the students started research for background information and discussed things to do when in Bangalore. Students also discussed key questions to ask the communities, firming up the survey questionnaire.

After a week of research, the students presented their preliminary findings of Bangalore according to their assigned topics. They also started to compile their findings into a field trip booklet for reference during the trip. 21 Jan | Group Presentation and Discussion

24 Jan | Field Trip Management and Tool Management Apart from the field trip booklet, various types of equipment are assigned to students to conduct site investigations during the field trip. Students also discussed about field trip management before their departure.

The field trip started off with a guided tour to the Jakkur Lake given by Dr. Annapurna, founding member, Satya Foundation. The students have learned about how she built the local community through Jalan Poshan Trust to protect the lake from various urban disturbance. 26 Jan | Arrival to Bangalore

27 Jan | Jakkur Lake Guided Tour

27 Jan | Seminars about Blue-Green Infrastructure in Bangalore A group of local landscape architects, including Aparna, Sriganesh, Rahul, and Maithily conducted seminars on different landscape architecture related topics. The students learned a lot and gained inspiration from their works.

To better understand Bangalore, the studio joined a walking tour to Malleshwaram, a neighborhood in Bangalore Urban orgainzed by the Unhurried, a local NGO. 27 Jan | Walking Tour of Malleshwaram

28 Jan | Group Site Visit The studio visited Hebbal, the designated project site, with the local translators to have a general overview of the neighbourhood.

Four groups of three to four students conducted their site survey in various locations, namely an informal settlement, a middle-income village, along the stream, and the Nagawara Lake. Observations, measurements, and interviews were conducted to fully understand the area and to gather feedback from people living in the area. 28-31 Jan | Site Survey

30 Jan | Seminar about Urban Farming Dr. Rajendra Hegde, a member of the Garden City Farmers gave us an inspiring lecture about urban farming in Bangalore. This lecture also prepared the students to anticipate the different possibilities and approaches for their upcoming studio projects.

After a few days of detailed site surveys and investigations, the studio presented a short presentation of their findings to our guests. Various landscape architects and practitioners were invited to attend the sharing session, where the studio received feedback to spur their projects. 1 Feb | Sharing Session

2 Feb | Terrace Garden Visits The studio visited two terrace gardens guided by Dr. Rajendra Hegde from the Garden City Farmers and Vani Murthy, a composting crusader. Vani Murthy introduced different composting methods that are suitable for terrace gardens, which equipped the studio with more knowledge on composting, demonstrating sustainable strategies for making urban farming possible in an urban context.

The studio joined a biking tour to explore Bangalore. Various places were visited including KR Flower Market and Cubbon Park, to understand the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich cultural heritage and history. 3 Feb | City Biking Tour 4 Feb | Departure

11 Feb | Subgroup Pin-ups & Discussion After returning from Bangalore, the four subgroups constructed physical models to better understand their individual site conditions, while presenting their findings during the trip.

The studio continues to work on site analysis and collating information collected in Bangalore. Students from different subgroups exchanged ideas with one another to exchange findings and ideas. 18 Feb | Site Analysis & Subgroup Disscussion

Cauvery River Basin

BANGALORE

50,000m

Actual water system in bangalore is inefficient. 100km to an overhead of 540 meters to the water distribution system located at Bangalore after treatment consumes more energy and involves high operational and maintenance costs. BWSSB incurs electricity costs to about 65% of its revenue for pumping the water to the city.

CASE STUDIES AND TECHNIQUES

Case Study 2: Osho Teerth Park, Pune, India

Turning a narrow strip of wasteland 850m long and 75m wide into a zen inspired japanese garden was undertaken in phases. It has been designed to handle a normal flow of 21000- 24000 gallons per hour. At the source of entry the water is an unclean stream with oil- waste. With help of natural filter process the water is 80% purified and is thus now naturally inhabited by biodiversity.

THEN

NOW

The Process Green Bridge

Metal screens The drain is first systematically guided through a metal gate provided with a screen/ mesh to separate the floating garbage

Water cascades Wa t e r c a s c a d e s o f level drops of just 200300mm at various points induce oxygen into the current, and eliminate odour.

It is a natural root zone filtration system, which activates by means of plants such as water hyacinths, bulrushes and alocacias

It uses filtration power of biologically originated cellulosic /fibrous material in combination with sand and gravels and root systems of green plants.

Series of ponds

Fish Breeding Fish known as 'gambusia' have been specially bred in the ponds to clean water of mosquito larvae

It is then guided through a series of 4 ponds, created on natural bedrock which serve as settling tanks and filteration tanks for sludge

Green Bridge Technology Filtration, biodegradation and Biosorption: The cellulosic /fibrous materials like coconut coir or dried water hyacinth or aquatic grasses are compacted and woven to form a bridge/ porous wall like structure strengthened by stones and sand with various consortia of microorganisms All the floatable and suspended solids are trapped in this biological bridge and the turbidity of flowing water is reduced substantially. The green plants growing there help in absorption of soluble substances including heavy metals.

PROJECT 1:

THRIVE HEBBAL

TRANSFORMING AN INFORMAL SETTLEMENT FROM A NEGLECTED LAND INTO AN ECONOMICALLY RESILIENT COMMUNITY

Chan Wing Fai, Hou Yanru, Liu Ye

Nearly 25 percent of the total population in Bangalore is living in more than 2000 informal settlements. The Hebbal informal settlement is one of the most vibrant communities which contribute to the development of the city for manpower and garbage collection. However, there are livelihood problems due to a lack of economic activity and insufficient basic infrastructure. This project aims to create an alternative model of informal settlement that improves the living environment of the low-income community. As the Hebbal informal settlement is situated in the buffer zone near the stream according to the future planning, the informal settlement is transformed with various blue-green infrastructures and value-added economic activities to enhance peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality of life, empowering the community. To begin with, several integrated water systems are designed to collect, purify and reuse the water (including rainwater, grey water, and black water) in an around the informal settlement. Rainwater and grey water are collected from the catchment of upper streams, and the black water generated in the informal settlement will be treated locally before discharge. After purification through different bioswales and biotopes, treated water can be used for toilet flushing, irrigation, and washing clothes and dishes, which improves the quality of nonportable water to reduce the risk of illness and other diseases. Besides, the open space in the informal settlement will be utilised with various functions. A house yard is made for every 3-5 households, each house yard consists of a community farm, bathroom and other basic infrastructures, to encourage residents to exchange resources and knowledge. The rainwater harvesting system at every household helps to provide more clean water for showering and irrigation. Besides, the open space also provides opportunities for more economic activities but also act as an open space for people living in the informal settlement and surrounding neighbourhood to enjoy as to facilitate social interaction. Furthermore, various value-added economic activities will be introduced to equip low-income communities with additional skills to generate more income. A tree nursery, marigold farm, coconut plantation, and compost techniques will be proposed and plant species that suitable for the local climate are suggested to the residents to achieve sustainable growth of the informal settlement. The proposed value-added economic activities also benefit the city as the tree nursery and marigold farm generates supply for the city, while protecting the buffer zone from urbanization threats. This project is meant as a model for other informal settlements to demonstrate that informal settlements can contribute more to the society in environmental, social, and economic aspects.

PROJECT 2:

DROP BY DROP. EVERY DROP COUNTS

DIVERSIFYING THE WATER SOURCE TO GENERATE A WHOLE SELF-RELIANT NEIGHBOURHOOD.

Chen Nan , Manasi Prabhudesai, Isabel Villegas

Situated in Hebbal Kempapapura, a typical middle-income neighborhood faces a severe problem of water insecurity due to the dispute for Cauvery water and the fact that borewells are drying up. Water distribution from the different authorities did not evolve with the development, resulting in a complex substandard water network. The lack of infrastructure related to water supply, drainage, and sewage systems lead the community to exploit the resources inappropriately. In addition, the housing centered development left the unconstructed spaces as a residue. Through reconnecting the age-old relationship with water resources and eco-friendly practices, this project intends to minimize the dependency on the urban water supply and foresees a whole self-reliant neighbourhood. The overall goal is to understand the whole cycle of water, addressing the problem in 3 scales. Private home yards and rooftops, vacant lots and streets, and the canal are the main components of the cycle in the neighbourhood. By diversifying usage and mitigating pollution of the black, gray, rain, and canal water, we will design an integrated recycling process for re-use, addressing each as a different independent system. Rainwater will be collected in rooftops to reduce external water consumption. In open areas, rainwater will be drained in a Jhalara (a traditional rainwater harvesting structure) and will be used to recharge underground water in order to provide sufficient water in the dry season through open wells. Grey water will be purified and reused for agricultural irrigation and toilet use, reducing 30% of the overall demand. Blackwater will be used for creating biogas to cook at households. Consequently, the interventions will restore the river's natural selfpurification capacity. At a larger scale, we aim to rejoin the canal with the lake system, forming a connected river corridor and restoring the lake ecosystem network. This project aims to reunify the ecological flows with social activities. The different cycles of water will be linked together by a series of landscape spaces, like productive rooftops, green streets, community gardens, holy plazas, stepwells, and wetland parks. Jhalaras redesigned will evoke functions of cleaning, storing and act as a place for worship. Productive landscapes will reunite people with the land through sustainable activities. The Jhalaras, together with the agriculture lands, will be tied up with an organized open space system for the exchange of goods and gathering space. Therefore, reconnecting people with water will encourage the community to respect and be aware of the importance of water. In the aim to conserve the proposed system and the natural growth of the city, we extract out of the project a coefficient that is directly related to the amount of m2 that represent the consumption of a person water footprint in our system. This is part of the plan to create a policy for the new development of a neighborhood. By creating this formula, we plan to replicate and secure the approach of the project with the inevitable growth of the city.

I never use my rooftop to harvest rainwater because the cost of maintaining infiltration facilities is high.

6157sq meter potential rooftop area 990mm(average) amount of annual precipitation 6095.43 cubic meter(6095430L) water can be catch for

the area every year= 16699L/day

WATER RESILIENT HEBBAL

A REVITALIZED BGI* TOWARDS WATER RESILIENT HEBBAL *BGI -Blue Green Infrastructure

Tang Mengjiao, Zhang Qinqin, Yang Xiaowen, Muhammad Rahmat Bin Khairudin

Reshaping Urban Infrastructure Towards Water Resilient Hebbal District Situated in the northern core of Bangalore, Hebbal is currently facing rapid urban expansion. At the same time, Hebbal faces many issues such as improper land use, disconnected urban infrastructure and natural matrix, causing a series of social and environmental problems. Located at the most significant transportation node and water system connector of Hebbal district, our site's interventions focus on three vitall blue-green infrastructure issues from a different point of views. Project 3.1 —— Connected Water-Resilient Hebbal Urban Forest Park To resolve issues of disconnected infrastructure and underutilized resources, a connected water-resilient Hebbal urban forest park with the utilization of on-site unmanaged resources is proposed. Located in the transport hub surrounded by the major road infrastructure, the site suffers urban issues like water pollution, air pollution, urban flooding, etc. Learning from forest typologies of Bangalore Science Institution, the proposed forest park with local vegetation selection carefully can provide different types of habitats to alleviate urban issues mentioned above, while establishing itself as a key landscape landmark. Project 3.2 —— Economic Revitalization of Highway Roadside by the Ecological Revival of the Stream The current land use and unmanaged wastewater discharges have negative impacts on the local water system and economic development. With rapid population growth and high-polluted industries, poorly performing infrastructure and unmanaged waste discharge end up along the stream.This project is focused on mitigating the water pollution, while promoting eco-friendly economic revitalization of the Bellary Highway area. By redefining land use and applying phytotechnology, the design purifies the highly polluted water through vegetation remediation. Project 3.3 —— Matrix sanctuaries through the stream "Matrix sanctuaries" is an adaptive habitat and civic space in response to the rapid urbanization in Hebbal, Bangalore. It focuses on revitalizing the degrading and imbalanced habitat along the stream through rehabilitation of habitats, improving accessibility and visual connectivity for both fauna and people. Rehabilitation involves conserving specific current habitat, regenerating the landscape within the stream and improving wildlife flow for seamless transition along the stream, through interventions such as the introduction of mudflat banks to replace existing walls. This aims to reconfigure the existing matrix along the stream, promoting the landscape as a connector to the segregated communities through creation of accessible pedestrian networks as corridors linking parts of community amenities and social nodes.

PROJECT 4:

BETTER LAKE THAN NEVER

RE-WEAVING BANGALORE’S NATURAL-BUILT ENVIRONMENT NEXUS Dai Yuke, Elsa Sim Rui Jia, Mitali Kumar Bangalore used to be the “City of Lakes”. However, due to rapid urbanization, development and growth now take precedence while man lose their symbiotic relationship with these water bodies. Our project looks at Lake Nagawara, which lost ecological significance in 2005, when it was transformed to a gated recreational facility, where urbanization and privatization resulted in disconnection of Lake Nagawara from its lake series and its people. As a water stressed city, the precinct continues to face water supply issues, struggling with inefficient water management. Mono-functional and underutilized spaces serve little function while the ecological health of the area deteriorates with increased pollution and destruction of natural habitats for wildlife. This project then envisions an alternative possibility for the lake and its surroundings - a precinct where citizens are exposed to and interconnected with nature in everyday landscapes, capable of being self-sustainable in terms of water supply and having access to a wide range of public open spaces for recreation and social activities. With these aims as an overarching goal, three areas of interest for intervention were identified: Project 4.1 —— Existing Industrial and Residential The existing developments adjacent to the wetland are retrofitted and improved with an approach towards cleansing and maximising resource potential of water through water sensitive urban design. The project aims to use water as a catalyst to reintegrate the community to the lake- reinstating lost values while re-creating Bangalore’s traditional habitats. Project 4.2 —— Lake Nagawara Lake Nagawara is transformed from a private recreational facility into a shared urban common with enhanced habitats for biodiversity. Through reintroduction of water flow, the lake has been injected with new vitality and the urban lake ecosystem has been set up. Also, with redistribution of habitat and human flow, the accessibility of the lake banks are increased as biodiversity and connectivity are improved. The boundary of the lake will be softened to integrate it as an ecological zone in the city. Project 4.3 —— Prospective Residential District A prospective residential development situated right beside the lake is designed to interweave nature into residents’ daily landscapes, with utmost importance on open space planning, integrated water management to capture stormwater for on-site re-use and alternative streetscape and construction phased hierarchy for sustainability. Strategies explore how land, a highly sought after resource in Bangalore, can be effectively utilized as multi-functional landscapes. In conclusion, this project aims demonstrate alternative city infrastructure that is focused on reintegrating people back to the lakes and showing how water and land can be efficiently managed through blue-green infrastructural design.

ISSUE 1 LOSS OF SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN MAN AND NATURE

Loss of Traditional Dependence and Daily Interactions with Nature

The lake ecosystems before had significant impact on the livelihoods of people and communities living in its vicinity - be it cultural, ecological, economical, etc. This significance saw a drastic change in the 20th century - when the lakes were viewed just as sources of recreation - with no connection with its precinits.

Disconnection of Lake Nagawara from the Lake Series

Bangalore Lake Series

Unplanned rapid urbanisation during late nineties - led to encroachment of lakes and storm water drains. During the last four decades there has been 79% reduction in water bodies and the number of lakes in Bangalore.

The idea is to fully utilize the storm water through multi-functional blue green infrastrucuture, to instigate the community and make them aware of its value. Several water management strategies are incorporated to reduce the 65% stormwater lost as surface run-off on site for 75% catchment in existing and 100% in new developments. 233

Reshape six common landscape types of waterfront space to create a variety of biological habitats and spatial feelings. 3. Build a well-organized transportation system- A 15-kilometer multi-purpose pedestrian road will stretch along the lake's shore and circle the lake, while the vehicle lanes on the street level will provide more rapid and convenient traffic space. Naturalize 1. Rearrange lakeside habitats. 2. Wetlands and meadows along the lake's shore will create a biofiltration system that also provides natural habitats for wildlife. 3. Remodeling and expanding bird sanctuaries and setting up a central island. Connect 1. Redefine lake banks of human and nature. 2. Crosswalks and specific paths are used to connect the lake district with all the residential communities along the lake. 3. Increase the water affinity space, including the north side of the public houseboat, wooden walkway, overlook and fishing area.

REFLECTIONS

263

'... Bangalore is the most complex city that I have never worked on before! I used to pay close attention to generating â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty shapesâ&#x20AC;? in design, but this studio made me realize the importance of understanding and analyzing the site, with the form serving the function' -Liu Ye

' This studio taught me a lot, especially in learning about what constitutes a well-thought design. A sensitive design requires detailed and rigorous analysis. Now I began to understand how to make my design more practical and real, rather than just exploring beautiful forms.' - Hou Yanru

' This studio broadened my horizon to explore the complexity of the urban environment and how it can connect by landscape interventions and how we, as landscape architects, can contribute to the low-income communities.' -Chan Wing Fai

' By traveling to a completely different setting to study and quantify site conditions, I experienced the severity of the problem and how challenging and relevant it is. ... It made me understand the importance of the landscape in the daily needs of human beings by widening its range of action and complexity.' -Isabel Villegas

'This semester was challenging and offered an approach to design that required detailed analysis and awareness of many aspects of the site, with quantification of data to be mindful of what we were trying to achieve with our design interventions. We as a group tackled both, city scale and a smaller scale sites, which gave exposure to how good landscape projects are nested in multi-scales.' -Elsa Sim Rui Jia

'The most exciting learning point was, how to build a strong design statement from critical analysis and indepth research about the region of Bangalore. This studio allowed me to improve graphical representations of my ideas, especially to concisely represent detailed analysis into simple, understandable graphics. ' -Manasi Prabhudesai

'This studio gave us an insight as to how our profession as landscape architects can have a significant impact in making a city resilient. Though challenging and intimidating, this semester allowed me to learn a lot from the engaging faculty and insightful peers.'

-Mitali Kumar

This â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;blue-green infrastructureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; focused studio offered me a great opportunity to understand how to manage extremely complex site elements with landscape architecture interventions. The studio enabled me not only to have full preparation for future blue-green infrastructure related projects, but also taught me to make full use of our site. -Tang Mengjiao

This studio provided me with a completely unknown overseas experience and an even more complex ecological and human context. It has also trained my design logical thinking, from large scale to small scale and efficient data analysis representation. -Yang Xiaowen

'In this studio, I uncovered a matrix of undesirable habitat for both wildlife and people. This allowed me to analyze and design in a way I have not done so before. Through the continuous process, as the design got clearer and deadline got nearer, I got more motivated to see the create a project worthy of the site in Hebbal.' -Rahmat Khairudin

We analyzed different aspects of our site to understand it further, which made me understand the complexity of landscapes. The most important thing I learnt is the significance of calculation and quantification to design for the shape and size of our design, so that we are able to give a strong justification. -Zhang Qinqin

'I learnt a lot of the need to collect and analyze information collaboratively; not only for site conditions or during the design process, but also to support design strategies with research. Landscape architecture is interdisciplinary.' -Chen Nan

I am very proud that I could complete this research, and it was necessary to do this before proceeding with the design. By working in groups, I was exposed to a completely different way of thought process and design thinking, which helped me understand a more comprehensive approach of landscape design. I gained insights on the many considerations required when working on a diverse and complicated scale. -Dai Yuke
