THE VERTICAL EAT STREET

Urban Culinary Arts Center B.Arch thesis - studio project 2016

An Urban Culinary Arts Center

8|58

Food and Architecture are parallel creative fields due to the exuberant quality of art that exists in them. These synonymous projections were extended to explore a new perspective; one that could inscribe value to the city and engage a wide range of its citizens.

The thesis proposal envisions a new food public space,projecting gastronomy as a core value, in the heart of the city of Bengaluru, in India.

Academic thesis studio project Individual work Year V ,B.Arch-January to May,2016 Commendation-Selected to represent college at the National Awards for Excellence in Architecture Thesis(NIASA)-2016

The culinary arts center proposed brings diverse user groups together through food and envisions a vibrant ‘Eat Street’ on Church street,Bengaluru.

The city of Bangalore, one of the most cosmopolitan cities of india is dubbed as the restaurant capital of the country.

Church street, one of the most famous and the oldest food hubs lying within the CBD site with a rich historic context abounding in gastro pubs and restaurants,was chosen as it proved to have scope for an urban level intervention.

Architecture is played with to add a physical dimension to the food experience with multiple hues that accentuate the spirit of the place. Just as food has multiple flavours ,the building’s spatial heterogeneity was a deliberate attempt to express the cultural diversity of the city.

The building form evolved as a response to the immediate site context and functions .Transparency was used as a parameter while playing with solids and voids to create a vertical street experience.

Engage with street

Reflect urban culture

Integrate users

The main idea was to create a public space and bring in the street activity into the building at various levels and also project the gastronomic activities onto the surroundings.

A study of the site broadened the scope of the project from just creating a singular culinary experience at an important urban node to taking it to the next level and enhancing the gastronomic experience of an already well connected street replete with food joints and pubs, but one that is not pedestrian friendly and lacks street spillover and street experience.

The building being the entry node to Church street, responds to the street and the immediate context.

The design challenge was to resove a vertical building as tall as 24 metres high in a tight urban context with FSI,setbacks and other building constraints to achieve an extroverted character,unlike the other introvertred tall buildings on Church street.Hence the built form was conceived as a heterogeneous vertical street.The building comes alive at night as the open spaces double up as dance and disco floors. The colourful banners of street festivals, & events get displayed on the steel grids of the building facade and the glass exterior facade of the rotated auditorium has lcd display that screens food videos ,music etc becoming a focal point for the street node.

The programs were vertically zoned to work practically in the site and also provide for the varying degrees of privacy demanded by different functions.The functions that demanded street level interface with the public such as retail units,restaurant ,cafe were integrated with the flexible pubic plaza at the ground level.

The street is envisioned to become an urban canvas and a renewed food public space in the heart of the city of Bengaluru and ‘Eatsup’ ,the urban culinary arts center - a reflection and expression of this vibrant ‘Eat Street’.

The street design proposal aims at pedestrianising the street completely, taking the vehicular traffic and parking underground.The idea is to enhance spillover into the street and add elements of colour ,play and food throughout.The 750m stretch will have 3 pedestrian subways and one vehicular entry and exit point. Design elements from the proposed building flow into the street .

Urban Culinary Arts Center B.Arch thesis - studio project 2016

The changes in the streetscape include brighter signboards,landscaped plazas,street furniture,urban art in the form of graffiti,installations & sculptures and elements of play and bringing the basement retail onto the street for better public interface.The services are also relaid and taken below the footpath.

COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER

Making healthcare accessible and affordable to all is still one of India’s biggest challenges.Within the country there is also high inequity between urban and rural helathcare.The rural healthcare primarily managed by the government sector follows a three tier system comprising CHCs,PHCs and Sub centers.Infant mortality,maternal deaths etc due to lack of emergency care continue to plague the rural dwellers due to inadequate quantity and quality of healthcare centers.

Union of International Architects-UIA PHG International Competition, Group of 2 “Buildings are making people sicker and for the poorest in the world this is causing epidemic Commendation-Awarded first prize problems” and exhibited at the UIA PHG Paris -Michael Murphy

The prefabricated modular community health care center design addresses this urgent need to introduce high quality, affordable and easy to construct healthcare units across the country taking the example of Chikballapur in rural India as an example project.

The project envisions ‘healing through space’ as an integral design component

“Buildings are making people sicker and for the poorest in the world this is causing epidemic problems” -Michael Murphy The prefabricated modular community health care center design addresses the urgent need to introduce high quality, affordable and easy to construct healthcare units across India taking the example of Chikballapur in rural Karnataka as an example project,deinstitutionalizing the institutional experience of rural healthcare settings through design

Making healthcare accessible and affordable to all is still one of India’s biggest challenges.Within the country there is also high inequity between urban and rural helathcare.The rural healthcare primarily managed by the government sector follows a three tier system comprising CHCs,PHCs and Sub centers.Infant mortality,maternal deaths etc due to lack of emergency care continue to plague the rural dwellers due to inadequate quantity and quality of healthcare centers.

The design of all blocks follows the 1.22m x 1.22 m grid,which is ideal for the Indian prefabricated industrial market size and provides flexibility according to context.

All factory produced components are theAdministration transported byblock road Node along since villages across the country rely on road connectivity.

The materials are then fixed on site by local labourers.

Canal front development

The city of Södertälje expected to grow to a population of over 1 million by 2030 is to face rapid densification along the city center and waterfront. The project envisions new connections to turn the ‘lost space’ into a meaningful public space. The underutilization of the canal way becomes the focus of this urban design project that aims at making the waterfront attractive using the bridge and the canal to create a well connected city centre accessible to the various socio economic groups.

Academic studio project Individual work Year 1,MSc Urbanism Studies-2017 Commendation-Selected to be exhibited at the Stockholm City Hall for the Sodertalje Exhibition 2017-18

The fragmentation of the Södertälje city center by the road infrastructure and the Canal way is addressed using the same to bridge the gap.

The masterplan proposal involves new movements along the canal edge,road and the bridge.

New dedicated bicycle path is introduced along the west canal edge which connects to the existing trail to the north and south New pause points along the canal in the form of decks,lookout towers are introduced Underutilised under bridge areas programmed for new activity and highlighting the pedestrian and bicycle access to the bridge above.

The design evolved from the functional workflow between various zones,keeping in mind easy way finding and creating a healing environment.

40|58

The brief was to design a 100 bedded cancer specialty hospital in the given site,comprising of outpatient,impatient and emeregency units.

The corner plot located along a busy junction in the heart of the city facilitated good connectivity but also necessitated seclusion from the busy traffic conditions.Hence the building was sited at the rear end,using the plot frontage for parking and public activities. Planning the hospital involved understanding the various layers of traffic flow both outside and inside the built form involving multiple user groups such as in patients,out patients,doctors,visitors, staff and ambulances and separating these layers for functional optimisation.

Tegelbacken is a leftover space that has resulted from urban development which solely focuses on transportation issues.

Soft and fluid forms create an abstract landscape, in complete contrast to the existing hard environment.The proposal aims to give a new meaning to the place envisioning it as a prelude to the city.

Tegelbacken is at the heart of Stockholm city.The square is defined by the road system; flyovers crisscrossing over it.

Residents and tourists mainly use the space as a transit corridor.The design aims to induce new functions based on the location of the site and the potential it has.The main functions -programmed for the heavy flow of tourists- are the visitors center and the observatory tower.There are also secondary service spaces, a seating area and a buffer zone that protects the space from the adjacent high-intensity traffic.

The scheme involved redevelopment of the residential parks and entrances.All the parks have a similar concept with a sandpit, wooden deck, lawn space,barbeque area and bicycle yards. Existing trees and sandpits were retained and the new concept was worked around it for cost effectiveness.

The renovation of the parks in the residential blocks of Ängsholmgränd proposes to maximise the green areas.The worn out entrances to the buildings are also given a fresh makeover with rows of perennials and flowering trees .The existing poorly maintained lawns have been replaced with low shrubs.Ledge walls which double up as seating spaces have also been incorporated. New play equipment, lighting poles and pavements have also been added.

The high volumes of pedestrian flow in Shivaginagar necessitates a renewal plan that focuses on upgrading the road network,reinventing the leftover spaces,creating an integrated transit hub and an urban park while preserving heritage.

The success of a city and its liveability lies in its mobility.The Shivajinagar integrated mobility hub is part of the area redevelopment plan under the smart city proposal for Bangalore city-2025 .The old city area of Shivaginagar with its important landmarks such as the Russell Market,,mosques,temples and churches, Commercial Street presents a high concentration of mobility issues.Lacking basic pedestrian infrastructure and accessible public transit hubs,haphazard street parking, and vending add to the issues.

The new bus terminus design streamlines road geometry and traffic,improves visibility to the adjacent unused playground,accommodates terrace parking and is connected to the proposed metro station and traffic feeder systems.

Built using compressed stabilised earth blocks from soil in situ,the house design involved many passive energy saving strategies.Planning took into consideration maximisation of rain water harvested from all the roofs and ensuring all the spaces receive ample natural light through skylights/windows.The mangalore tiled sloped roofs with the wooden pillars give an old world charm to the house.

Professional experience Biome Environmental Solutions Architecture Internship 2014-15 Involved in design scheme, details,drawings,3D visualisation,site construction supervision and client meetings.

To design a low budget house in a small plot of 40’ x 30’ land in a residential area,overlooking a park for client Mr.Naveen .

The 4 bedroom residence was designed keeping in mind the tight budget constraints without compromising on aesthetics.

The planning incorporated 4 existing trees on site,hence 3 courtyards -two at the rear end and one at the front entry were designed to preserve the trees.Energy efficiency has been further achieved through grey water recycling,use of exposed compressed stabilised earth blocks and arch panels,minimising the use of concrete and steel.Shared bathrooms,use of insitu soil for earth block construction,built in furniture,solar energy for lighting and water heating etc ensured the cost effectiveness of the project.
