BACKGROUND STUDY
The Ogale Glass Mill in Maharashtra, India, was established during the Swadeshi movement era in the early 1900s and operated until its closure in the mid-2000s The mill played a significant role in the region's economic growth and was an important symbol of the Swadeshi movement, which advocated for the use of Indian-made goods and products
During this period, the mill was an essential source of employment for hundreds of workers who were committed to the Swadeshi movement's ideals The mill also contributed to the development of the local community, serving as a hub for economic and social activity
However, with the closure of the mill, a significant part of the region's Swadeshi movement history was lost The memories and stories of the workers who dedicated their lives to the mill were also at risk of being forgotten Therefore, there is a need to create a space that commemorates the mill's history and the contributions of its workers during this critical period in India's history
HISTORY
The Swadeshi movement in Maharashtra in the Tilak era was a remarkable phenomenon
Lokamanya Tilak was the directing brain of the Maharashtra Swadeshi movement, and his 'Kesari* carried on its propaganda Since then small things like matchboxes, soap cakes, cap, glassware etc produced in indigenous factories and mills became the carriers of the nationalist message, and Maharashtra /people tended to become fearless and politically / more conscious They began to participate increasingly in the national freedom movement Thus national freedom movement in Maharashtra became as an impact of the Swadeshi movement, somewhat Pitbroad-based towards the end of the Tilak era As the spirit of Swadeshi was actively present in Maharashtra throughout the Tilak era, a strong Home Rule agitation swept the major parts of Maharashtra in 1916-17
Swadeshi Movement had two main principles –

HISTORY OF OGALE GLASS
The history of Ogale Glass can be traced back to the early 20th century in India The company was founded by Mr shankarrao Ogale in late 1917 in , Maharashtra Ogale Glass initially started as a small glassware manufacturing unit, producing glass bottles, lamps, and other glass products Ahead in 1945 Mr Prabhakarrao ogale shifted the factory to large units of buildings
During the Swadeshi Movement in India, Ogale Glass played a significant role by producing Indian-made glass products that aligned with the movement's ideals of promoting indigenous industries and boycotting foreign goods The mill became an important symbol of self-reliance and national pride during this period
Ogale Glass expanded its operations over the years and gained recognition for its quality glassware and innovative designs The mill supplied glass products to households and industries, including the textile and pharmaceutical sectors
However, with the changing times and the emergence of new technologies, the demand for traditional glass products declined Eventually, the Ogale Glass Mill faced economic challenges, leading to its closure, significantly impacting the workers and their families
The history of Ogale Glass reflects the era of the Swadeshi Movement and the struggles faced by indigenous industries in the face of changing market dynamics The mill's legacy continues to be remembered for its contributions to the movement and its role in the local economy

DESIGN INPUTS
The intent of this project is to design a "Remembrance Memorial" that provides a space for the community to remember and reflect on the contributions of the Ogale Glass Mill and its workers during the Swadeshi movement era The memorial aims to capture the essence of the mill's history and the significance it held for the community Additionally, the project intends to create a source of income for the workers and their families, who have been affected by the mill's closure To make them SELF-RELEVANT again
1.Conceptual Design: The memorial aim to evoke a sense of reflection, remembrance, and respect for the history and legacy of Ogale Glass The design concept could be centered around elements such as transparency, light, and fragility to symbolize the glass-making process and the delicate nature of memory
1.Material Selection: Incorporate glass as a primary material in the memorial's design, paying homage to the legacy of Ogale Glass Different types of glass, including clear, textured, and colored, can be used to create visual interest and convey various emotions Additionally, consider incorporating other materials such as brick , concrete, or wood to provide contrast and stability
2.Form and Shape: In consideration of the architectural style of Karad and Ogalevadi, where the mill buildings were traditionally designed in a vernacular fashion, it is recommended to maintain the presence of the mill by adopting a square-shaped building design. To enhance the aesthetics and functionality, incorporate hexagonal elements to create wider openings within the structure.Additionally, for optimal natural ventilation, align the building forms diagonally by orienting the site in the northwest-southeast direction. This approach will not only pay homage to the traditional mill architecture but also ensure a comfortable and well-ventilated environment within the memorial.
3.Spatial Arrangement: Design the memorial to provide different spatial experiences for visitors Create intimate spaces for contemplation and remembrance, as well as open areas for communal gatherings and events Consider incorporating pathways, alcoves, and seating areas to encourage visitors to explore and engage with the memorial
4.Symbolism and Artistic Expression: Integrate symbolic elements that represent the history, achievements, and cultural significance of Ogale Glass incorporating glass artworks, sculptures, or installations that reflect the glass-making process, the company's products, or the impact of Ogale Glass on the local community
5.Lighting and Ambiance: Utilize lighting techniques to enhance the memorial's atmosphere and create a sense of tranquility and reverence Incorporate natural lighting through the use of skylights or large windows to illuminate specific areas of the memorial Additionally, consider using artificial lighting, such as spotlights or LED strips, to highlight significant elements or create a dramatic effect during nighttime
6.Landscape Integration: as site is surrounded by various trees so rather chopping them I planned spaces across the trees to prevent vegetation of site Integrate the memorial seamlessly into the surrounding landscape Consider incorporating green spaces, trees, and flowers to create a peaceful and contemplative environment The landscape design include pathways, benches, and water features to enhance the overall visitor experience

is use for farming purposes
Zoning of Individual Function
The program for the proposed project is too much to start zoning while keeping all other in mind. The site is divided into a grid , with help of this grid each function can be zoned individually giving an overall position for each function. Below is the schematic site plan divided into grid.
Following are the possible outcomes for individual functions:
ADMIN
The admin needs to be near the roads as they demand easy accessibility for the new user who is coming from outside, also is do not need to be near the main road as it does not demand visibility
MUSEUM
The main building of camous which represents the history of site needs to be located at centre of site or campus and demand visibility frontage from main road and secondary road to The main use of this building is to attract in more users and hence it needs to be near main road, so it is easily visible from the main access road
RESEDENTIAL ZONE
The residential is placed on east part of site where exsiting residential has been alredy there by ogales
AUDITORIUM
The Auditorium needs to be away form the other buildings Due to the noise they make, keeping them middle east portion of the site could help in smoother functioning of the auditorium
1.Lighting and Illumination: The word "Lanten" could be derived from "lantern," suggesting a focus on lighting and illumination within the building It will emphasis on creating unique lighting arrangements, creating a specific ambiance, or incorporating innovative lighting for museum space 2.Aesthetic Expression: The Ogale Lanten Lamp signify a distinctive aesthetic language or design element in materials that is metal represent as concrete and glass represent as brick and glass façade
Courtyards in architecture function as a unique way to bring the outside in Courtyards are outdoor spaces typically enclosed on three or four sides and are open to the sky Unlike a backyard, courtyards can be located within the footprint of a building to provide an alternate form of recreation space CONNECTION WITH NATURE Courtyards provide an opportunity to bring the outdoors in, giving access to natural daylight, views to outside, and cross ventilation in the summer months One of the biggest advantages of having a courtyard is providing visual and physical access to nature, which has been proven have a positive benefit on mental physical health If centrally located the building, multiple rooms or spaces home can share these benefits ENCLOSED ROOM OPEN TO SKY D ENTRANCE Courtyard represents the four corners of the Universe If this heat exchange reduces roof surface temperature to wet bulb temperature of air, condensation of atmospheric moisture occurs on the roof and the gain due to condensation limits further cooling Cutting center part of the block for courtyard effect Courtyard gave in a diagonal line NESW direction so natural sunlight will reflect on internal glass elements and will give colorful reflection inside the exhibition hall Providing semi-open space courtyard effect in between blocks placement • WADA STYLE FOR RESIDENTIAL UNITS The 'Wada' Architecture, also referred to as Courtyard Architecture is the residential style of Maratha Architecture which has made a contribution in Residential Architecture This type of Architecture style dealt perfectly with Air and Light, resulting to great ventilation of both Exhibition building with center courtyard effect and vernacular architecture style. factory building courtyard effect provided in between admin area and factory outlet to cut off public and private spaces. As per location is Karad the wada style houses are commonly seen there so keeping it same so the family will feel the emotion of their old house
FACTORY

Preserving Indian glass factories is vital for the new generation, and designing a dedicated research building within the factory campus is an effective way to achieve this The architectural planning for this research building should involve the careful division of spaces into public, semi-public, and private areas
The public areas of the research building serve as spaces for exhibitions, Library, where people from all walks of life can come and explore the rich cultural and historical significance of the Indian glass industry These areas facilitate engagement and learning, allowing the new generation to develop a deep appreciation for the craft
The semi-public spaces offer a more intimate setting for interactions between researchers, artisans, and industry professionals These areas encourage collaboration, knowledge exchange, and innovation They provide an environment where experts can work together, conduct experiments, and push the boundaries of traditional glassmaking techniques
The private areas within the research building are designed for focused research and experimentation These spaces provide the necessary infrastructure, such as laboratories and studios, where scholars and researchers can delve into the intricacies of glass-making, preserving and expanding upon the existing knowledge
By dividing the research building into these distinct areas, we create an ecosystem that caters to different needs and objectives This holistic approach ensures the preservation, learning, and advancement of traditional glassmaking techniques, while also promoting its continuity and relevance in contemporary times
on-site location, there are individuals who previously worked in the mill and still reside in the old homes provided by Prabhakar Ogale Unfortunately, over time, these homes have deteriorated, and the residents are now scattered As part of the project, I am renovating and regenerating their homes, creating a cohesive community living environment This initiative aims to improve their living conditions, foster a sense of unity, and provide a supportive and connected community where they can live harmoniously and create a shared identity tied to their historical connection with the mill
The residential area is located on the north side of the site away from the public zone to keep privacy maintained The residential zone has a separate entry from the secondary road
