CERAMICS’ GUILD OF MORBI Sem IX & X Research & Design Dissertation -Institutional Location Parshuram Pottery Works, Morbi, Gujarat Guide Sonal Sundararajan In its zenith, Morbi was known for the rich architectural legacy and technological advances that were initiated by the then ruler which gradually led to Morbi emerging as the Ceramic Hub of India and the economic driver for the town.

The research of this thesis tried to investigate the integration of Morbi’s ceramic industries back to the cities such that it has an equitable relationship.

It was an exploration into establishing a connection of the industries with its stakeholders. How can the same be used to leverage the functioning of the industries with education, marketing tools, museums, off ices by regulating the ceramic industries to create an impetus. This would include working with natural, recreational and cultural resources to re-envision the factory in an innovative, productive and sustainable community.

Can today’s innovative technologies be linked with Morbi’s creative potential?

Old Town

Morbi, a town of Gujarat, is the Ceramic hub of India having rich historical and architectural legacy, highlighted in the above map.

In its zenith, the kingdom of Morbi lying along on the banks of Macchu river, was known for its construction marvels, technological advancements. Over the past few decades, new town emerged on the other side of the Machhu river which has grown extensively due to the growth in Industries particularly ceramics.

Site Strategies As seen in the maps, the sites were located in the heart of the residential area with close proximity to the Industries as well as the old town, easily acessible by a highly motorable thus allowing more engagement with the locals of Morbi.

To reach that, the design proposed was to have potential programs at adequate locations along the route from old town to the highway: 1. Educational and Community Center in close proximity to the exisiting college institutes as a skill devevlopemet space to produce local human resources that could be an asset to the Industries.

2. Commercial center and MCA head office located on the plot of the first roof industry, Parshuram Pottery Plant by re-using the land for activities for the industry that would help flourish worldwide.

A public intervention like a musem is also proposed on the site to uphold itslef as a new landmark that would create a social impetus for tourists from around the globe and India.

Land Ownership | Land Use

Important Landmarks

3. Cultural Center on the edge of the road facing the highway would be a good location for people travelling and stopping to enjoy activities and exhibitions that would take place for the locals as well as the tourists.

This thesis aims to create an institution that would bridge the gap between the town due to which the industries have their identity and the Industries itself by integrating mordern day technologies which would serve both, in each others capacity and advantage, thus being inclusive and sustainable.

Intent A built form to encourage cohesion and inclusion in the industrial region and promote lifelong learning along with experimentation.

It is the identity marker of Morbi strategically located at the Parshuram Pottery Plant, plot of the first pottery industry of Morbi which is now a barren land opposite the Nazarbaug Station.

Thus the overall idea was to have a structure that acts as a microclimate because of the use and choice of materials and response to weather. It has the landscape of the site from the partly ceramic debris moulded into rammed earth walls and accurately undulating brick walkway leading to ceramic tower becoming an exhibit of its own. The design thus intends to be a manifestation of ceramics with architecture.

Block Layout Plan Type : R&D and Training Center This typology of space allows smooth functioning for futuristic research in application of technology in traditional ceramic products by allowing space for experimentation and testing.

The width of space to hold to roof has been broken down by the curves indented at locations giving a feel of a ceramic in process of being its precise form.

These projected windows are made to allow maximum air ventilation and prevent direct south light within the building and hence the orientation of these projections are repeated in every block. Thus keeping the blocks cool.

In the interior these projections can be used as seating or storage spaces. for mechanical or other uses.

R&D and Training Center Plan

Type : Cultural Center This typology has brick jali in some corners to allow light and ventilation and thus make it more porous and less rigid and compared to the R&D typology.

It allows open drying space on the interior of the site which is also a comminty park where people could enjoy the display of the ceramics outside the structure.

Exploded Axonometric | Layered Roof Plan - Material Palette

The choice of materials for the walls and roof were decided after extensive research into the climatic and weather conditions of Morbi.

I intended to reduce the load on mechanical ventilation as much possible and still have the industrial feel in the interior of the building blocks by the use of spaceframe to allow free spatial movement .

IJBURG DWELLING Sem IX Location Guide Partner

Architectural Bridge Studio - Housing Ijburg, Amsterdam, Netherlands Rohan Varma, Dick Van Gameren Ankit Jadhav

The studio explored alternate approaches to deal with Amsterdam’s growing housing issues, challenging us to explore innovative possibilities to produce an inclusive, sustainable and resilient dwelling block within the new urban plan of IJburg prepared by the Municipality of Amsterdam.

The design idea of this proposed housing on plot 9 was to make it porous and accessible from the front main street to inner street. The plot was split into two parts providing the axis and vertical circulation for the floor plates of blocks on either sides which was also the landing for the staircase and is structurally stable to hold the trees and plantations.

The ground floor accomodated a nursery and dine in restaurant which would make the building economical as well as socially viable. Each unit has its own outdoor space that would act like an alley and could be used for personal use and interaction with opposite units.

Intent We used the opportunity in this project to experiment with structural timber.

We researched about CLT construction in various regions and climate suitable for its use and explored the joineries and details with CLT and Glulam.

Also keeping in mind to have the project to be economically as well as ecologically sustainable, each unit was placed strategically to create one of a kind experience.

Intent The cultural center building was raised to allow for parking which the ground was already used for.

A ramp leading to main entrance along with the trellis sideways and above acts as a protection.

The school was shifted to side where there were already existing institutions. It was built along the road edge making it playful on its landing levels and allowing for enough students oon its other wing.

MANIFOLDED EDGE Sem VI House of Mythology - Institutional Location Sugreev’s cave, Hampi, Karnataka Guide Nemish Shah The ruins of Hampi make an unearthly landscape,having the heaps of giant boulders perching over the undulating terrain and the site revealing its story as you walk past by. Like a myth that has no origin or end to it which can also be seen in the geography of the site, I wanted to break the monotony of land by placing a pure geometric form ie of the circle. This was done to invoke the feeling of endlessness in the structure by having the idea of a parikrama path as circulation at the center of the buidling and programs placed along it and experiencing an exhibit at the light atrium.

Intent The building has two monitored entry points - one from the river edge and the main entry from the road from the south side. It sits naturally on the contours without cutting the ground entirely as seen in the process sections. This is achieved due to the ramp slope and strategic entries into spaces.

Stone is main material used in the building due to its easy availability and durability in the geographic location.

The section is such that there is easy access from the river side as the cafe and ticketed entry to the Tiered AV is situated facing the river and main entry is from the south i.e pedestrian side.
