Academic Work : Thesis on SPORTS COMMERCIAL CENTER, Bhaktapur, Nepal Course : Design Studio (Individual), 10th semester (January,2017- May,2017) Studio director: Dr. Ramani Grover and Ar. Suneet Mohindru

“ Dedicated to a space for people of Nepal and their love towards sports”

Nepal hosted the first 1984 South Asian games. It was a proud international event hosted by the country, as it did again in 1999 finishing second in medal tally. Again, the country is going to be hosting the upcoming 13th SAG. However, this time the circumstances are difficult. The past years the number of games organized, participants and spectators have increased. However, the 2015 earthquake has destroyed a lot of the country’s infrastructure.

The Dasarath Rangasala, which is the only international stadium of the country ,was damaged during the earthquake. Chief of the Infrastructure Development and Repair Department at the National Sports Council (NSC) says that it will take at least 3 years to renovate it. In addition to that, even if renovation is done the stadium still has numerous flaws in its design as the international stadium.

Nepal will be hosting the upcoming SAG Games. This upcoming major event for the country can be an economical boon and have a chance to uplift the spirit of the sports. This event can help escalate infrastructure development in the country like a lot of other host countries worldwide.

Thesis Proposition Since Nepal is a developing country, the idea is to create a sports centre that is built in a cost efficient manner, and generates revenue.

Few of the methods to do so are : I. making the place rooted to traditional style yet make it iconic internationally , II. making a stadium self sustaining,both in energy as well as economy III. attaching other potential functions to the sports complex, so that the complex is constantly in use and functioning, Hence, the primary objective of this thesis is to create an urban public space, rather than just a sports arena, where people have open congregational space to observe and appreciate the sports in the country.

The goal is to commercialize the sports complex and the sports itself.

The thesis has two main component: One of the multipurpose hall is a 21000 sq m built up proposal for 5000 spectators and the Second is the Urban plaza with Hotel, shops and restaurants.

The city of Delhi slated to be amongst the largest urban agglomerations of the world in the near future. The projected population in 2021 is 230 lakhs. However there is limited land availability and there is a need to protect parcels of land identified as agricultural/rural.

In keeping with the policy of increasing the population holding capacity and proper utilization of land within city limits, the strategy is to carry out intense re-development in the specific pocket. As the landuse as per the Masterplan is residential the site will be predominantly residential and the attempt would be to meet the huge deficit of rental housing required by the Central Government for its employees.

Academic Work : Seminar on DELHI INSITES (The role of interim design in governing the quality of urban construction-site environments) (Group Work) 9th semester (August,2016- Nov,2016) Studio director: Dr. Ranjana Mittal and Ar. D.V. Nathan As it stands today, Delhi has become a site of frantic urbanisation.

The city is under constant pressure to cater to this agglomeration.

Moreover, the vision of Delhi as a world class city has led to the conception of projects of great ambition, providing an image of what needs to be achieved. Phase 3 of Delhi Metro, over 500km of tracks, is under construction currently and Phase 4 is in line. As many as 30 redevelopment projects have been planned to maximise carrying capacity, each having long construction periods. Delhi thus presents a complex urban scenario where infrastructural growth is escalating exponentially.

A major part of the urban landscape, at any given point in time, is formed by buildings & infrastructure in production. Many of these sites, with their prolonged lifespans of several years, develop an interim system of spaces and communities in and around, with repercussions, ecological, sociological, on the surroundings as well as in the lives of those involved in the process. The ‘process of producing’ itself becomes a ‘product’ of architecture. The design and management of site environment alongside various other construction processes hence proves critical.

Site Environment refers to the conditions within the site itself, the general surroundings and conditions that the site is located in, and further, the cityscape it affects. It is inclusive of but not restricted to the ecological connotation.

Interim Design includes: •

The practices that aim to enhance site environments, their design and management.

•

Interventions made on site or structures that are constructed or installed temporarily on site during the phase of construction.

•

Overall communication strategy of a construction site, whether the idea and concept of the final architectural project, as envisioned by the architect and builders, is reflected in the production phase.

While it is apparent that the final product of construction affects its users and context - physical, environmental, social, and political, the project in the stage of production is an equally important part of the cityscape. Lands are cleared, roads diverted, communities disrupted and created, as construction sites take their place within the existing urban fabric.

The entities affected immediately include: •

Labour/Workers (onsite)

•

Managers and Engineers (onsite)

The site develops an interim system of spaces and communities in and around it, with its repercussions, ecological and sociological, on the surroundings as well as in the lives of those involved in the process.

The ‘process of producing’ itself becomes a ‘product’ of arvvchitecture. The design and management of site environment alongside of the various other construction processes is of extreme importance.

Case studies of : 1)PHASE-3 METRO CONSTRUCTION, Delhi 2) EAST KIDWAI NAGAR REDEVELOPMENT 3)GRAND HYATT RESIDENCES AND HOTEL - IREO

(GURGAON) From the aforementioned studies, it is apparent that construction sites are challenging in many ways. They tend to: • Cause spatial disruption • Reorganize existent networks of communities • Create new complex networks, • Adversely affect the environment (especially air pollution and creation of waste) • Communicate the image of development • Set varied aspirations among the stakeholders CONSTRUCTION SITES AS OPPORTUNITIES 1. RENOVATION OF GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL— F. J. Sciame Construction Company, Inc. 2. AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY RENOVATION OF MAIN FAÇADE AND ROTUNDA - Bovis lend lease LMB, inc.

THE WAY FORWARD The construction phase is a time where the roots of a project are established. The rapid changes in surrounding environments creates a feeling of disconnect in the urban community. Local residents seek a connection and sense of belonging with their city which is lost when enigmatic organisations cause monumental changes in their neighbourhood without proper communication. There is a need for tangible action during construction. The argument being made is a far cry from mere decoration of hoardings. The basic objective is to think about the people in an urban space undergoing change. A worksite is a specific moment in time when there is a risk of misunderstanding.

For while the space is temporarily empty, it fills with everyone’s imaginations, desires and assumptions. One’s experience of a city as large and diverse as Delhi is incredibly dynamic. It is further complicated by the task of grasping a world as complex as the worksite.

Better communication through design can prove valuable in such a situation.

Design can help deal with the temporal and spatial challenges to help activate public spaces, involve communities, and make safer and healthier construction site environments.

Kathmandu Valley has magnificent tradition and culture engulfed in its

land. Early morning in the misty land, the local will have start their day.

It begins with some people worshiping in temples, some people bring milk and vegetables from shops, and some doing their morning exercise.

All of them enjoying the weather, the place and the space. Traditionally the activity and connection of the space were such that there is scope for all people to meet and talk. Moreover, the valleys core area were planned such that people could interact with each other. This mystical land has cultural and traditional hubs that are meant for congregation and contemplation at the same time. The Durbar Squares, Chowks, Water sprouts and Ghats are some of the prominent traditional social hubs.

Before the river side area used to be actively used. There were Ghats and temples at the river basin in which people used to go and spend their times.

The river basin attracts people for more cultural matters rather than mere entertainment and serenity. However, in present day scenario, the pollution of the river and reduced importance of acknowledging the Ghats and temples have resulted in lessening the use of the riverfront.(Foundation, 2009) Since the Durbar Square is in the heart of both the urban and old population fabric, its location and functions make it still lively. Those areas are still used in the present days, hence, creating people to be emotionally still connected to its value.

However, since, there are no real purpose for the majori-

ty population to go near the riverside, it has been neglected.

The few connection now many people have with the river front is the view of the river from the bridges when they have to cross it and the ghats, mainly Pashupatinath Ghat. So, despite, the river having value in urban context, the public may not have, thus, neglected it. Hence, in this dissertation I would want to find out:

How can designing play a role in giving back the River Bagmati its spatial importance in the urban context?

Aims and Objectives: 1) To explore little of the history of approach towards the settlement pattern with respect to the river of the people of Kathmandu Valley.

2) To understand how the urbanization process has resulted in the current state of the river.

3) To see how the monuments around the river play a role in public space formation.

4) To highlight how culture, norms, social belief and now economical processes play a vital role.

5) To highlight that riverfront development is required.

Introduction of Public Space Public space is a space of possibility (Bourdieu, 1993). The power of public space is directly related to the degrees of freedom, openness, and accessibility associated with the space. The power of Le Grand Louvre and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is generated by a combination of politics, bureaucracy, and design. Both are fully accessible to locals and tourists.(Fain, 2004) A place is made important by people. And memory is a factor by which people admire a place in a long term. Memory and fantasy, recollection and imagination are related and they have always a situational and specific context. One who cannot remember can hardly imagine, because memory is the soil of imagination. Memory is also the ground of self-identity, we are what we remember.(Pallasmaa, 2007) Public Space and Relation with Waterfront Seafronts, riverfronts and lake fronts that were the shipping and industrial birthplace of many cities remain prime locations. Reimagining a water front as a multi-use public gathering place is a golden opportunity for city to redefine itself.(COUNCIL, n.d.)

Importance of Water as a Public Space Water has proven to be an important factor for humans. It is important for both their physical and mental survival. Humans always prefer having a small pond or a lake side next to their living place.

The sound that river make are southing to the ears. In the light of psychoanalytic evidence, frequent contact with water may bring a person closer to the unconscious processes in his life and has a positive therapeutic effect connected to its religious meaning.

In public space, this factor acts as a genius loci for people from far away to come and enjoy their leisure time. Water affects not only sight, but also other senses through its sound, smell and texture. If these qualities are used intelligently, water has the potential to influence and modify the form of urban spaces as well. In context of Kathmandu valley, there are water conduit and water sprout making pockets of public space throughout the valley. However, the riverfront has not been able to be utilized to its full extend. The public space made

in presence of water is more pleasant to be around at. The sense of hearing conveys the shape of space. The sound of falling and running water may hypnotize the observer and block out unwanted sounds, creating an additional sub space, characterized by its own melody.

Case Study: 1) VaranasiGhats 2) Sabarmati River 3) Cheonggyecheon River Analysis: - Making Ghats and the river an economic booning space for the people living at that area helps them generate ownership towards the river and its basins. Preventing it from degrading and advertising it brings income for people depending on both the places.

-The Cheonggyecheon river has gone through numerous transitions in its history. From a natural flowing river to a sewer line to an artificially pumped urban river. The transition in this river is similar to what is happening to Bagmati River. Since, the Bagmati river has gone to its worst stage and its now improving because of the cleaning campaign, keeping an eye on the solution Korea took is a plus point.

Seoul took into consideration the transportation and connection system that PPS had suggested in nine steps to create a Great Waterfront. It helped improve the city in an overall manner. The Seoul River could be taken as a future step that Kathmandu could take.

-The final client will always be the public and that should always be considered while making the design. Project for public space (PPS) is a good project and have good examples of worldwide riverfront with good public spaces. The points that PPS mentions in their study can be implemented in case of Nepal as well. We could see in our study of Riverfront of Sabarmati the outcome if negligence of public space while revamping a riverfront is not good, while Seoul has proven to succeed in the process because of the steps it had taken.

Academic Work : Settlement Study of Tilwara Village, Barmer, India Course : Design Studio (Group work) 9th semester (Jan,2014- May,2014) Studio director: Dr. Ramani Grover and Ar. Suneet Mohindru Tilwara village lies on the banks of River Luni. This is a river of Western Rajasthan. It originates in the Pushkar valley of the aravalli range, near Ajmer and ends in the marshy lands of Rann of Kutch in Gujarat. In spite of the high Salinity, it is a major river in the region and used to serve as primary source of irrigation. It has now dried up and is severlly polluted because of the harmful dyes of developing textile industry in Balotra.

After Mahammed and Ahmed Shah attacked tilwara, in the 1200s, the Jain community fled the village. This led to the now heterogeneous community of Rajput, Brahmin, Suthar, Meghwar, Bhil, Rabari and also Muslim. The Jain Temple was discovered about a centruy ago leading to influx of minor amount of Jain population.

I was involved in the study of Bhil community and did detailed measured drawings of it.

South Facade of Bag Durbar

Study of HariBhawan (2011) The Baghdurbar (also known as Bag Durbar or HariBhawan) is situated at Sundhara, the core of Kathmandu city, 150m southeast of Dharahara. It is an important historical monument regarding Nepali politics as it has been a witness to a number of treacherous events most of which are violent. The building had been a home to many powerful names in the political history of Nepal, including those of Prime Minister BhimsenThapa, Prime Minister MathvarsinghThapa and General HariShumsher JBR.

Neo-classicism in Nepal: With the Rana family coming into power, a diversion in building principle could be seen during the mid-19th century. New buildings were being built and old buildings renovated in European style architecture, mostly neoclassical ones. A considerable number of palaces were built and renovated during that time some of which still exist. The Singha Durbar, Basantapur Durbar, HariBhawan can be taken as examples. These buildings feature white plastered walls, Corinthian order external columns used mostly for aesthetic values. But those buildings still relied upon local technologies for the interiors and structural basis of the buildings
