Abstract Municipal Corporation Administrative Headquarter is probably one of the most important buildings in city. The Municipal Corporation provides all the necessary facilities and services right from the water supply and drainage to the public parks and other facilities which make a city more habitable and a desirable one. Hence for a city to develop the administration building has to be designed with the understanding of the functioning of the Municipal Corporation, nature of work being carried out there, comfort of the employees and visitors and also the security of the building.

The administration building of Municipal Corporation in Indian context lacks the basic connectivity of different spaces and departments. Most importantly, the city's topmost important building lacks the connection to its citizen which is not taken into consideration in India. Therefore, the reformation and a different prospect are required while designing such an important building which could change the fate of the city.

This Thesis covers all the necessary aspect for understanding the subject to help in designing the administration building. At the start book give us a brief introduction of the topic then covers all the research and literature about the subject, with compilation of the case studies of Municipal Corporation in India. It also on focuses various aspects of selection of site and climatic condition and at the end concludes with programme to designed Administrative Headquarter for PCMC.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Municipal Corporation is a civil administration body constituted for the city of a certain population. It represents the region and its residents. Municipal Corporation is the supreme structure of local self-government. Establish act of the state legist and is charged with certain obligation and discretionary duties. British East India Company and King James II of England introduce the concept of a corporation on 29 September 1688, established India first Municipal Corporation in Madras and followed by the Bombay Municipal Corporation in 1726.

If we tried to find out the history of Municipal Corporation, we could start from Stone Age era since when human being felt it necessary to live in groups. Thus the concept of society evolved and went on developing at the time of Indus valley at Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa. In Maharashtra, “Marathas” was well-organized administrator in 16th and 17th century. After that, a different kind of administration in form of “Peshawai” came in existence, where “Peshawas” were not a king and not elected by people also. This “Peshawai” can be considered an intermediate step between Dictatorship and Democracy. Unfortunately, in 19th and 20th century British Empire was ruling our nation.

After independence in 1947, Democracy was established in India. In a democracy, people have the power to elect the Governing administrative authority. In India, 30% population lives in the urban area in highly dense populated areas. Hence, Municipal Corporation comes in existence to provide all the necessary facilities and services in city.

Every citizen of the particular region has an indirect or direct relationship with the governing body that citizen might have never visited a Municipal Corporation but has indirectly influenced by a Governing body in day to day life .So, there is a need to bring transparency and allow the common man to access the government building.

1.2 Topic Justification Panvel is one of the fast-growing cities on the outskirt of Mumbai and declared as a Municipal Corporation area as per the growth potential of the city, Soon it will enter into ‘A’ Grade Municipal Corporations, in coming years. The Panvel city Municipal Corporation will include few villages and some other areas under its corporation area.

The present administrative building located in old Panvel was built in the early 20th century for the municipal council office with a few numbers of staff. Building is crowded with the various offices and the increased requirements making it very average looking. The partitioning and enclosing the verandas of the building has very much affected the ventilation, lighting and sanitary services. Therefore, planning new administrative headquarter for Panvel Municipal Corporation is the need of the time for representing as an iconic structure for the city to govern and manage the different function of Municipal Corporation. (Source - www.nmtv.tv/panvel-city - July 2, 2017) The Municipal Corporation of any city is a very busy building as most of the work related to the city and its citizens like development, health, education, tax etc. are managed in the corporation building, making it the identity of the city; hence it should be designed in such a way that it becomes the landmark for the city. The building is used by the government officers, Councillors, other government employees and by the public. Therefore it is very important to design the structure considering the function and accessibility of employees and the public as a major aspect.

Just like most of the other government buildings, the Municipal Corporation of many cities is not well thought of in terms of function, accessibility, public involvement, the usability of spaces (restricted or public accessible) and ventilation.

1.3 Need of Project Municipal Corporation is regarded as an important building to showcase city heritage and architectural richness. Panvel is fast emerging and connected efficiently to greater Mumbai via road and rail network which is also a gateway of the MMRDA and some more growth potential of expect show below:-

Existing Infrastructure:1) JNPT (Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust) – It was established in 1989 and it ranks 24th among the 100 container port in the world and the top container port of the country. It is only 30 km from Panvel and can create great opportunity in growing the city.

2) DMIC (Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor) – The project is the most ambitious infrastructure programme which aims on developing new industrial cities as smart cities. It covers many cities along the Delhi-Mumbai route. The region within 30 km either side of the rail route will be developed which will create job opportunities and will contribute in population growth of nearby area which also includes Panvel.

3) ONGC (Oil And Nature Gas Corporation) – It is situated about 4 km from Panvel. It provides great opportunity of employment for nearby residence at present and also in the future.

Upcoming Projects:1) Navi Mumbai International Airport – It is one of the biggest projects in the Navi Mumbai in the recent times. It is very close to the Panvel city and it will bring huge development in the vicinity towns

Figure 1 - Navi Mumbai International Airport

and villages.

2) MTHL (Mumbai Trans Harbour Link) – The 22 km road will connect the Mumbai and Navi Mumbai and will reduce the travel time of one hour.

As the travel time is reduced and a better connectivity option in upcoming development of the region.

CHAPTER 2: BACKGROUND STUDY, DATA COLLECTION AND LITERATURE STUDY 2.1 Architecture and Politics Politics itself is a pure beauty that had played the momentous role to bring the civilization to this instant. It is about power of governance and authority for the goodness of the mankind. But often the practice of politics turns the player's intentions into obsession. The insatiability of this obsessive desire of power often breaks the rules of the game. Its breaks the very basic rule of sanity and ethical imperative, thus erase the memory of ground value sol goodness. One breaking of the rule multiplies the breaking itself chaotically. It is of no surprise that politicians believe in an ideology and attempts to express it through material matters and Architecture is not immune either.

But it is indeed a mesmerizing wonder how politicians often seize every inch of time and space with the idiosyncrasy of accentuation and the dogmatic glorification of a personality or an ideology beyond the limit of its own ground.

This greed explodes its boundary of its own state buildings and spill into the public spaces.

Starts from the forefront of the state palace with an ostentatious effigy, advance through the road, the boulevards, to the open space into the so called public building and even inside the private realm of a Home. It is important to note that though politics and architecture are each justifiable according to its intrinsic set of criteria, the opposition between warring architectural views nowadays, is one which is fought less on artistic grounds and more on political grounds. This exploration is about how and why architecture is manifested to sing political ideologies and power.

2.1.1 Scale in Context: - Scale is the most basic way of expressing the most fundamental meanings like power or weakness. Through scale, buildings show the hierarchy of importance in context.

•

Size (In Volume and Space): Larger the size means Larger the Power

•

Height: Taller the Object means higher the Authority

•

Weight: More Weight (Heavy means more Stability and Domination)

•

Compatibility with surrounding: More Contrast means more the Detachment Peculiarity

ADMI N I STRATI ON HEADQUARTER F OR PC MC

Pa g e 9

2.1.2 Formal Shape and Expression: - Formal shape and formal language in buildings transform these fundamental meanings of scale to a higher level of expression, like a monumental neo-classical, totalitarian building trying to pass itself off as a continuation of an ancient value.

• Symbolic Representation: More Ornamentation means more it gets idealized.

• Transparency and Visibility: More Opaque means more Mysterious.

• Complexity: More Abstract means less Clear.

• Spatial organization: Spatial organization is used to censor the existing social structures.

• Accessibility and Invitation: Definite access means more Segregation.

• Complexity: More complex means more Security.

• Flow: Formal flow means more Control.

2.2 Architecture of Democracy

History shows that as a nation progresses and accumulates wealth, its civic structures are rendered in pompous, almost authoritarian style-Grand landscaped gardens, high walls and deep setbacks.

Currently in India, there is much un-democratically designed public architecture that spots palace-like characteristics. These buildings are intimidating, the scale and architectural style can have an undesirable impact on the citizens and the leaders.

Winston Churchill once said, "We shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us."

Architects need to realise the importance of democratic spatial relationship before the public loses touch with their city or architecture, in turn creates a society that does not come together and not worth caring and in disposable society.

2.3 Municipal Corporation The Municipal Corporation in India, like its counterpart the County borough in England, is the highest form of municipal government designed for the administration of civic affairs of the top class cities in the country. Municipal government in India has been in existence since the year 1687 with the formation of Madras Municipal Corporation and then Calcutta and Bombay Municipal Corporations in 1726. In 1850, the improvement in Towns Act was passed by the government of India that established a system of councillor and gave them administrative authority. Subsequently, Lord Mayo's Resolution of 1870 instituted the system of city municipality’s and called for the introduction of an elected president of lead them. In 1882, Lord Ripon's Resolution of Local Self Government created the outline and structure of Municipal Governance in India. In 1935 another Government of India Act brought local government under the purview of the state or provincial government and specific power were given.

Municipal Corporation is the top and highest form of urban local government as it enjoys comparatively more powers and autonomy in day to-day administration. Unlike rural-local government, urban in India is not hierarchical. The Municipal Corporation as an institution is more respectable and enjoys a greater measure of autonomy than other forms of local government.

2.4 History of Municipal Corporation Urban local government is the responsibility of the department of Local Government in the state. In Indian constitution the term used is local government. The term 'local government' being a moral in nature, is to be preferred to virtue-embodying 'local self- government'. When people begin to live together in a locality, certain problems arise from communal living. These problems relate to provision of civic amenities like supply of water, removal of rubbish, drainage, lighting, health facilities, roads, etc. As the population increases and the locality grows, more problems like regulation of trade and commerce, dangerous and unhealthy occupation facilities for education, public health, etc. arise and become more intense. All these amenities which make living better, physically, socially, economically, and culturally constitute the responsibility of local government.

In fact local government is today much more important in the daily life of a citizen than the state or central government.

In its present structure and style of functioning it owes existence to the British rule in India. A beginning of local government may said to have been made in 1687 when, for the first time a local ADMI N I STRATI ON HEADQUARTER F OR PC MC

Pa g e 11

government body a Municipal Corporation was set up for the city of Madras. Local government is thus slightly less than three centuries old in India. Broadly it may be divided into the following five periods, each period characterized by a definite aim and purpose.

Table: - Progress of Local Government 1687-1881

Local government was viewed and utilized to case central and provincial finances.

1882-1919

Local government began to be review as self- government.

1920-1937

Local government came within the jurisdiction of provinces and further was transferred to popular control.

1938-1949

Local government was in a state of repair and reconstruction.

1950-1991

Local government has been keyed to the requirement of the constitutions.

(Source: www.unescap.org)

A Municipal Corporation was set up in 1687 in Madras. It was modelled after similar institutions then in vogue in Britain and clothed with the authority to levy specified taxes. The Municipal Corporation was set up because the East India Company believed that the people would willingly pay. In 1726 the Municipal Corporation was replace by a mayor's court, which was more a judicial body than an administrative one. The evolution of local government in India had to wait until 1793 when it acquired a statutory base the charter act of 1793 established municipal administration in the three presidency towns of Madras, Calcutta and Bombay by authorizing the Governor-General of India to appoint justices of the peace in these three towns. A fresh impetus to the growth of local government came in 1863 when the Royal Army Sanitary Commission expressed its concern.

The year 1870 makes a further stage in the evolution of local government. In that year Lord Mayo's famous resolution was advocated a measure of decentralization from the desirability of associating Indian's in administration and indicated the Municipal Government as the most promising field for this purpose. Lord Ripon is known as father of local self- government in India.

2.5 Characteristics of Municipal Corporation 1.

A corporation is set up only as a result of statute to be passed by the state legislative assembly.

2.

A corporation form of urban government is generally based on the separation of deliberative from executive functions.

3.

The Mayor is the head of the corporation and holds office for a renewable term of two and half year.

4.

The State Government retains powers of control and supervision including even the power to dismiss the council and take over the administration.

The term corporation lends itself to two meanings. It may mean the complete entity which

embraces both deliberative and executive wings. Under sub- section (2) and (3) of section 5 of the Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporation Act 1949 The State Government was empowered to fix by notification in the official Gazette, for each city for which a corporation was constituted. The study group appointed by the Government of India in the matter of constitution, power and laws of the Urban Local Bodies and Municipal Corporations under the chairmanship of the Chairman of All India Council of Mayors.

2.6 Features of Municipal Corporation 1. Protective Bordered Organization: Municipal Corporation is a protective bordered political organization having a population for that exclusive welfare it is planned. This concept is based upon two assumptions first authority and second limits are to be compulsory upon authority. The area or object of control must be clearly defined.

2. Legal positions: A corporation is constituted by the Act which is passed by the government or by the assembly in case of union territory. The corporate existence of a Municipal Corporation springs from the fact that it is a creature of state and largely, a product of its law.

Subject to the limit contained in either, the constitutions or the statute, the state government has almost unlimited authority to create such legal entities.

3. Dependent Statuses: Municipal Corporation has not its own power. Municipal Corporation use only those powers which are given by the State Government, it has no original powers.

The State Government exercises the powers for determining the area, size of its council,

ADMI N I STRATI ON HEADQUARTER F OR PC MC

Pa g e 13

responsibilities and powers, term of office, financial resources and can also dissolve it in case of consistent default in the performance of its duties.

4. Right of local self-government: This is important characteristic of Municipal Corporation flows from the concept of self- governance. The right of local autonomy is not regarded as an absolute right but rather one that arises from the fact that it is more suitable for the state to permit local people to handle matters of specific concern to them. Municipal Corporation have right to make rules and regulation for day-to-day work.

5. Principal of Contribution by people towards Expenditure: A Municipal Corporation is based on the principal that a major portion of the expenditure incurred upon the services and amenities it provides should be contributed by the people of the area. It derives its revenues through charges a variety of taxes and fees which it is authorized to require in addition to the grant-in-aid received from the state government.

6. Divisions between Deliberative and Administrative Functions: A Municipal Corporation is marked by statutorily separation of deliberative and executive wings. Municipal Corporation is a legal entity represent the organized legal will of the community, its main justification for existence is that it seeks to provide for the welfare of all its citizens.

7. Self-administration: A Municipal Corporation is a self- administration because it is managed by the people of its own area for their common welfare on the lines of representative democracy. In essence it is democratic government on the spot.

2.7 Need and Importance of Municipal Corporation The urban population has been increasing at an accelerated rate. The role and significance of urban government is consequently bound to increase entailing a realignment and reorganization of rural-urban dimensions of the society. Urbanization is an integral part of the process of development. Industrialization and Urbanization are inseparable. The burden of urbanization in India has been born by Municipal Corporations and Municipal Councils. Urban government includes Municipal Corporation, notified area committees, Municipalities, town area committees, cantonment board and township.

The migration of people in response to the needs of a rapidly developing industrial and commercial economy was reflected in the growth of cities. As more people congregated in urban centres, the town evolved into the large city and finally into the metropolitan region. Step by step, as the city developed, life for the urban people became increasingly complex. Thus the Municipal ADMI N I STRATI ON HEADQUARTER F OR PC MC

Pa g e 14

Corporation is more respectable and enjoys a greater measure of autonomy than other form is of local government. Municipal Corporation implies provision of basic facilities and services in urban areas and regulation of growth. These facilities and services may be listed as water supply, drainage and sewerage, urban renewal and housing, urban redevelopment, transportation, road construction, supply of electricity, education, etc.

Following points state the importance of Municipal Corporation: 1. To take care of the requirements and necessities of the various communities like health, education, water supply, along with matters relating to property and housing taxes.

2. To conduct election is to offer convenient services for the public and its main aim is to resolve their daily complications.

3. To administer the city with such large levels of population and the interactions are made directly with the state government to bring things under control, whenever the need arises.

4.

To help in providing services like public administration, road water supply, birth, death records, sewage, sanitation, flood control, drainage and other public safety services such as ambulance and fire services in the locality.

(Source: Local Government in India by Dr. Shriram Maheshwari.)

2.8 Municipal Corporation Act Prior to 1992, Indian local government did not have a constitutional status but only a statutory status under state law. Therefore, the governance of urban areas was directly under the control of the state government. This changed with the enactment of the 74 th Constitution Amendment Act, th

1992. For the first time in the history of urban governance, Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) were granted a Position as the third tier of government. These bodies were given a constitutional outline for conducting regular elections, powers and financial devolution. The Amendment assigned local bodies with the responsibility of providing basic services.

The 74th Constitution Amendment Act provides the outline for elected and nominated councillors. The number of elected councillors varies according to the population of an area.

Nominated councillors are to be selected by the elected councillors for their expertise in municipal administration. However, they are not granted voting rights. The 74 th Constitution Amendment Act does not specify any specific organizational structure for municipal administration in India. This is an issue for state legislation and the structure differs from state to state.

And, what is more, the difference may occur only in the listing of a certain functions. The following functions are generally assigned to corporations in all the states.

Obligatory Functions 1. Supply of water: The management and maintenance of all municipal water works and the construction or acquisition of new works necessary for a sufficient supply of water for public and private purpose.

2.11 Organization Structure of Municipal Corporation The 74th Constitution Amendment Act does not specify any specific organizational structure for administration in India. This is an issue for state legislation and the structure differs from state to state. The Ministry of Urban development drafted a Model Municipal Law, 2003 which was circulated to state governments. The rationale for the lack of a centrally administered Municipal Model is that local bodies need to be flexible to respond better to local requirements. Two broad models are commonly in use. Municipal Corporation is a governing body consisting of:-

2.11.1 Appointed Body in the Municipal Corporation Appointment of staff can be done by the state government or by Municipal Corporation itself.

2.14 Panvel Municipal Corporation Panvel is 300th years old city in Raigad district of Maharashtra in Konkan Division. Panvel has gone under unique transformation from undeveloped land of 110sq.km to a one of the modern city located in MMRDA region. Panvel has been developed in the both commercial and residential sector. The city is highly populated due to its proximity to Mumbai. It is an important junction point as many major highways and railways meet and pass through the city. The JNPT port and new SEZ declared by government are another highlight of the city.

Panvel Municipal Council (PMC) was established in the year 1852 and is the oldest Municipal Council of Maharashtra. When population of city crossed more than three lakhs, Maharashtra government decided to establish Panvel Municipal Corporation on 1 st October 2016.

Panvel is the first Municipal Corporation in Raigad and the 27 th Municipal Corporation of Maharashtra State. (Source - https://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai-news - Oct 01, 2016) PCMC had stated their operation function with their old small Municipal Council building.

After 2017 election there was short of space for public representatives. So, PMC realized the old building was insufficient to operator their Municipal Corporation function.

The Panvel Municipal Corporation demanded 10-acre CIDCO plot for its administrative building. PMC has three plots considered - one in Khanda Colony, another near NMMT depot in Asudgaon close to the expressway starting point (12.18 acres) and third near Khandeshwar railway station (17.13 acres). The civic body reportedly plans to have an iconic building and showcase it as an architectural marvel, compared to the NMMC headquarters.

2.15 Design Standards 2.15.1 The Assembly Hall Assembly hall includes debating chamber and other supporting spaces. These spaces are very important as it is in these places where people's representative debate, decide discuss and deliver legislation. While designing assembly hall, following considerations should be taken:

Shape of the Hall Different types of shapes are used to perform conventions, meeting or conferences. Generally, square, rectangular, hexagonal, oval, circular shaped plans are used. For large assembly purpose, circular or oval plan is recommended mainly for assembly purpose. Since the stage requirement is very less and need of visibility of stage from every corner.

In different countries, shape of assembly hall has similar character of parliamentary politics practised in that particular nation. For example in west minster model of governance where there is strong opposition in debate between two major parties, the rectangular shapes and opposite seating layouts are preferred. Similarly in consensus based inclusive democracy the circular or oval shape of halls is preferred for more collaborative effort. From visibility and greater accommodation point of view, circular shapes is most appropriate with circular shapes, there will be two alternates to the inner seating layouts namely semi oval or semi-circular, the appropriate shape can be chosen.

Space requirements: From various studies and their inferences, the area standards have been ascertained and it has been found that Area of 1.5 -1.6 sq.m per user is adopted in the assembly hall.

Area of 0.05-1.2 sq.m per user is generally adopted in the general seating gallery depending upon the type of user and requirement of space.

1) Opposite Arrangement Generally countries with parliamentary systems like United Kingdom have this kind of seating arrangement. This type of arrangement encourages face to face debate. However this type of arrangement also likely to bring unnecessary opposing nature among the parliamentarians.

For example, Le Corbusier used it in the plenary chamber of the state legislative assembly building in Chandigarh, the capital of two Indian states, Haryana and Punjab.

ADMI N I STRATI ON HEADQUARTER F OR PC MC

Pa g e 26

2) Semicircle Arrangement The most common shape is the “semicircle” layout, which goes back to classical antiquity. Like a good concert hall, a semicircle parliament room affords more people a decent view, creating a stronger sense of egalitarianism among its members. Democracies often meet and operate in this layout. The semicircle fuses the members of parliament into a single entity.

Rajya Sabah assembly hall in parliament of India is the example of semicircle layout. The newly constructed Navi Mumbai municipal corporation assembly hall follows same semicircle layout.

3) Horseshoe Arrangement The “Horseshoe” layout is hybrid of the “opposing benches” and “semicircle” typologies. The opposing benches are added to the semicircle end side of the room to form a horseshoe layout, in which rows in semicircle layout is reduce. This type of arrangement encourages face to face debate but less opposing in nature than that of opposite seating arrangement it is reformed type of opposite seating type which is more interactive in nature.

One of the most beautiful parliament buildings in the world, the Jatiyo Sangshad in Bangladesh designed by the architect Louis Kahn, meets in a horseshoe setting. Lok Sabah assembly hall in parliament of India as well as Maharashtra and Karnataka state legislative assembly hall is example of horseshoe layout.

4) Concentric Arrangement Seating arrangement is concentric and thus is more interactive with greater visibility. Moreover this type of arrangement is found to be more cordial and less opposing. Such types of seating arrangements

are

found

in Scandinavian

countries

where

parliamentary politics is mostly consensus based.

ADMI N I STRATI ON HEADQUARTER F OR PC MC

Pa g e 27

5) Classroom Arrangement The fifth and final type is the classroom, where members of parliament sit in regimented rows focused on a single speaker in the hall. This typology is particularly common in countries with a low rank on the Economist’s Democracy Index. For instance, the parliaments of Russia, China and North Korea all meet in a classroom setting, where they can be lectured by the leader. The “classroom” layouts transfer a ton of power to the person at the front.

Composition of the Assembly hall An Assembly hall contains all the necessary spaces for a municipal corporation to function properly and house all its members. Numbers of Seats depends on grade of Municipal Corporation and future growth.

The chair of the mayor is placed conspicuously at the centre of the stage. The commissioner occupies right side chair and deputy mayor at left side of mayor. In the pit of the chamber just below the Speakers chair is the table of the Secretary General of the house.

A seat is allotted in the chamber to each elected member municipal corporation. The seats on the right hand side of speaker belong to ruling party and that on the left side belongs to the opposition party members. Ruling Party leader occupies the first row seat on the right side. The opposition Party leader occupies the first row seat on the left side.

1) Library - Its primary object is to keep members of Municipal Corporation well informed of the day-today developments in city and state, by maintaining an up-to-date and well equipped library backed by prompt and efficient research and reference services. It provides a variety of other subjects coming up before the municipal corporation so as to enable members to participate efficiently in the debates of their respective work. When the municipal corporation is in session, important news items are displayed on boards, outside the library.

2) Bureaucrats Gallery - Bureaucrat’s gallery or audio visual room where head officers of all departments occupy their seat. In assembly session particular department question arrives head of department talk towards hansard desk near the stage and answerer the assembly. Officers indirectly participate in assembly discussion.

ADMI N I STRATI ON HEADQUARTER F OR PC MC

Pa g e 28

3) Visitor's Galleries - The command parson of city can attend Municipal Corporation general meeting from Visitor's Galleries There are three galleries is situated on the first floor. One for public gallery (gents & ladies), press gallery, and third is reserved for VIP’s.

4) Ruling Party / Opposition Party Meeting Room - Two separate meeting rooms attached to assembly hall for discussing decision regarding Party agenda in municipal corporation assembly session.

5) Dining Area - The optional room attached to assembly hall act as dining area for small group

people. Dining area is also act as third party meeting room.

6) Service Room - Control room at first floor in front of stage and electrical room are required to control all services in assembly hall.

2.15.2 STORAGE SYSTEM FOR DEPARTMENT Government office storage requirements can vary significantly but they all face the same problem of coping with ever increasing amounts of paperwork. Most department areas can only dedicate a limited section to filing and storage; this often results in an untidy and dis-organised mess that is difficult to use and with no room for extra storage.

1. Roll-A-Side Mobile Office Shelving Systems Roll-a-side mobile office shelving systems save valuable floor space and increase storage capacity. Rotating hand wheels allow each of the mobile bases to glide effortlessly to allow easy access to patient files. When completely closed, the final bay can be locked in place with a key to create a secure storage area - an important feature when storing sensitive information. Mobile file storage is ideal for government departments and businesses where the highest possible density of is required.

Figure 1 - Roll-A-Side Mobile Office Shelving Systems

ADMI N I STRATI ON HEADQUARTER F OR PC MC

Pa g e 29

2. Rotary Cabinets Office Shelving Systems Rotary cabinets are double-sided revolving cabinets spin closed to secure files, supplies, and other items and inventory. The cabinets can be positioned directly next to each other or up against a wall to save space. To access materials, the user simple presses down on the foot release pedal and pushes the cabinet to rotate it into an open position. The cabinets can also be locked to secure materials and come with many other optional accessories and store more files in the same floor space as traditional filing cabinets. Rotary cabinets come in letter and legal sizes from counter height to 8' tall.

Figure 2 - Rotary Cabinets Office Shelving Systems

3. Bi And Tri-File Shelving Systems Bi and tri-file shelving get their name because the cabinets are placed two or three deep to save space and slide back and forth on tracks for easy access. To access the back cabinets, the user simply rolls the front cabinets to the left or right and out of the way. These units save space by eliminating the need for access aisles between shelving units, allowing more room for actual storage. The sliding shelving can also be configured with new or existing shelving units, and additional sliding units can be added at any time to

Figure 3 - Bi And Tri-File Shelving Systems

increase storage capacity.

4. Pull-Out Shelving Systems Pull-out retractable shelves have a patented linear motion design to provide space savings, increased storage capacity, security, and ease of operation. The movable carriages slide in and out and use the natural egress aisle in front of the shelving as an access aisle. Because the shelving units operate independently from each other, multiple users can access multiple shelving units at the same time, and each unit can be customized with different depths and widths. The units can also be moved or added to without disrupting the adjacent units.

ANALYSIS Green Building Feature • The building has been registered with LEED-IGBC for certification and aims to receive the Gold rating for this project.

• The project also features a rainwater harvesting system with 13 groundwater recharge pits for harvesting surface rainwater and collection tank for terrace rainwater.

• A biogas plant has also been constructed to generate cooking gas for the project.

• In addition, a sewage treatment plant of 0.150 mld along with a water purification system has been installed at the premises.

• The treated water is used for cooling towers, flushing and gardening.

• Sustainable materials in the form of GRC and manufactured stone have been used for dry cladding. This ensures a ventilated facade and keeps interiors cooler.

• The glass does not overpower the boldness of the structure; and a minimal percentage of glass in and around the structure has been kept.

Strength • The circular design makes it unique amongst the Municipal Corporation in India.

• Public spaces are incorporated in the design both inside the building and landscape.

• Spaces inside the building are designed keeping human comfort and nature of work as priority.

• The building has adapted sustainable characters and eco-friendly technologies.

• There is lot of scope for future expansion in building.

• Building environment effect the workability of corporation.

Weakness • Accessibility to the location is also low with the nearest station being 3km away and only reachable using a rickshaw or a car.

• The building does not have enough natural light and has to be illuminated using artificial lights.

• The building design forces the use of HVAC system as most of the areas do not have natural ventilation including fire staircase.

• Group department are merging with their sizes, but not with their connectivity.

• Some public related offices like Public Relation Office (PRO) department & Health & Education department are placed at third floor. This can be provided at lower floors.

ADMINISTRATION HEADQUARTER FOR PCMC

Page 48

• In department work spaces of different head are merging together. This not creates flow or chain in departments. And a person has to move table to table.

• Only one smaller size press room is providing at ground floor.

• Helping desks are provided at entrance of each department with no helping person.

• Public gathering spaces are placed at upper floor like knowledge centre (auditorium) at third floor & Mahasabha hall (assembly hall) at fourth floor.

• The dome in the structure is purely constructed for aesthetic purposes.

• The spaces designed for most times as it does not connect with people.

Conclusion • It is ironic that the building truly manifests itself as an icon of today’s ruling political economy; since the government building looks more like a corporate office. It does not hide itself.

• There has been a lot more investment concentrated towards making the building look like a modern monument. However, it fails in the sense as well as the building is more reminiscent of a cold corporate building rather than a monument.

• Hence, the building lacks any public interface almost as if the design is trying to keep the public out.

Case Study 3 - Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) Intent of study The intent for the case study of this Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation was to analyse the old structure, design 25 year ago with same potential population growth and soon which is going to convert into “A” grade Municipal Corporation. It will help me to understand the changes done to fullfilled the further requirement and then the problem faced because by officer and common vistors of it.

Figure 1 - Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation Head Office

INTRODUCTION Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation which is an Urban Agglomeration (UA) of Pune.

Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation is situated on the old Mumbai–Pune Highway in the heart of Pimpri-Chinchwad which is one and a half hours from Navi Mumbai. Pimpri Chinchwad Council was formed on 4 March 1970 covering area of about 87 km2 which later on was established as Municipal Corporation in 1982, which now covers an area of about 181 square kilometres. Pimpri – Chinchwad Municipal Corporation’s head quarter building controls all functions of corporation and all departments and regional offices of corporation.

Area: 171,51 Sq. Km.

Site Area: - 11,565.5 Sq. M.

Total Population: 17,27,692

No. Of Floors: - G+4 And The Basement

Population Growth (2001-2011): 5.49%

Architect: - Kirloskar Consultants Ltd.

Location:- Administration Building, Morewadi, Mumbai-Pune Road, Pimpri-Chinchwad. 

Site is easily accessible as pimpri chinchwad Municipal

Corporation

is

situated

on

Mumbai-pune highway, in pimpri town. 

Site is plane and without contours.



Site is approximately triangular in shape and two major sides of sits are along with road, one is highway and other local road of 30 feet width.

Figure 2 - Location



There are two gates to site, one is acting as entrance and other is as exit gates.



These is fault in designing access to site as heavy vehicles of corporation like water tankers, vehicles for cleaning of sewer, vehicles for road light, etc. enter through exit gate as there is no turning space for such heavy vehicles and parking space for such vehicles is

Figure 3 - Entrance from Highway

placed near exit gate.

Parking 

Parking for four wheelers as well as two wheelers is sufficient for present situation.



Presently 80 to 100 cars and 100 to 125 two wheelers can be parked. But, parking requirement for is very high.



Figure 4 - Car Parking

If possible car shade should be provided for parking.

It is advisable to have separate parking for corporation’s vehicles, which are provided to class officers.



Parking of heavy vehicles is not properly worked out, as turning spaces for such vehicles are not provided.

Figure 5 - Bike Parking

ADMINISTRATION HEADQUARTER FOR PC MC

Page 64

Entrance 

There are three entrance doors to the main building. All of them are opening into main entrance lobby.



Front main entrance door is used by all visitors, employees and class A officers too.



Second door is near to exit staircase and it is secured by metal grill, which always remains close in normal conditions.



Third entrance is not a direct but it is through

Figure 6 - Main Entrance of Building

gathering hall. People using hall can move into main lobby increasing pedestrian traffic.

Corporation for its profit gives gathering hall to public and so addition load is always secured security guards.

General Planning Features:

Building is square in shape courtyard in centre. Size of courtyard is around10.50m x 14.50m and size of main entrance lobby is around 14.50 x 14.50m.



On ground floor courtyard forms a main entrance lobby. Courtyard is covered on terrace level by transparent sheets.



Vertical planning is preferred, meaning with help of staircase or lift.



Departments are placed one above other and not horizontally. From lobby all departments are related to visitors are placed on ground and first floor.



All such department which is not related to many visitors is placed on second and third floor.



Registration for birth or death, tax collection etc. is done by window system.



Offices like commissioner office, mayor’s office etc. are placed on third and fourth floor.

Figure 8 – Dome of Transparent Sheets

Figure 7 - Central Courtyard

ADMINISTRATION HEADQUARTER FOR PC MC

Figure 9 - Passage

Page 65

Staircase and Lifts 

As planning concept is based on vertical movements in building, staircases and lifts plays a major role. There are two staircase and four lifts.



The main staircase is near the entrance and another staircase may be acting as emergency exit staircase it is provided opposite to main staircase.



Both the staircases are dog legged type R.C.C. staircase finished with marble tiles and provided with fire fighting systems on mid landings and floor levels.



There are 8 passenger four lifts cleverly grouped into two groups in two different sides of courtyard.



Physically it divides an accumulation of people in two different areas reducing the crowding of people in certain area.



And it automatically divides a class of people using these lifts. One lift is reserved for people of class A and for V.I.M.P.’S. and other three use by common people and staff of corporation.





For convenience, in P.C.M.C; two lift are used only for third and fourth floor.

DESIGN OF FLOORS:Ground Floor Plan 

Ground floor is square with two extending arms.



Requirements properly

of

worked

ground out

as

floor

is

parking,

gathering hall, security cabin and all departments which are related to public, are placed on ground floor. 

For convenience of our understanding ground floor is divided into three parts.

Figure 10 - Ground Floor Plan:

ADMINISTRATION HEADQUARTER FOR PC MC

Page 66

Typical Floor (First and Second Floor plan):-



First and second floor are square plans with a courtyard in the center.



At each corner of square passage around the courtyard, entrances are then divided by partitions as per requirements.



Coffered slabs are used in this building as to have long spans, beam depth on first and second floor are increase up to 1m.

Figure 11 - Second Floor Plan



To have a proper visual effect of spaces and volume, height of each floor is kept 4m.



Because of this height provided per floor, window opening are very big and so they can provide sufficient nature light into deep side of room.



Same as any other government office, interior of P.C.M.C. is not worked out.

Figure 12 - Second Floor Plan



Each department on firth and second floor has minimum two sides having exterior surfaces, but in all departments, cabin of officers are provided near to the exterior surfaces, blocking air and natural light other areas in room.



Because of that majority off staff always department of office tables is also not correct as it changes as per requirements.



All such adjustments are bound to done, as design was not prepared for future expansion of municipal limits.

ADMINISTRATION HEADQUARTER FOR PC MC

Page 67

Third and Fourth Floor:

On third floor cabins of important officers and elected members are placed as cabins of mayor, Deputy Mayor, Chairperson of standing committee, leader of ruling and opposition party. Etc.



On the third floor assembly hall and standing committee’s meeting hall are also placed.



Assembly hall has public gallery on forth floor.

Figure 13 - Third Floor Plan



On fourth floor commissioner’s office

with administration offices is placed. 

Recently new computer room is created

on forth floor in education department. 

Commissioner’s

cabin

and

deputy

commissioner’s cabin are side by side and has common waiting area. 

There was no press room given near

commissioner’s office, but now it is created by a wooden partition in same waiting area.

Figure 14 - Fourth Floor Plan



Third and fourth floor are totally occupied by important members and officials, so it requires security.



But in P.C.M.C. any person entered in main lobby can go up to mayor’s cabin or commissioner’s cabin. So there is no restriction on movements of people inside the building.

Figure 2 – NMMT Bus Depot

Strength  Road network: - the site is located near major road network, which are NH 4, NH 4C, Sion – Panvel highway, Mumbai – pune expressway.  Strategic location: - the site is located at the Kalamboli junction which is in the centre of the Panvel municipal corporation jurisdiction yet falls under Panvel boundary  Site context: - site is located near an industrial area of Kalamboli, MGM hospital is opposite to the site and NMMT bus depot is adjacent to the site.

ADMI N I STRATI ON HEADQUARTER F OR PC MC

Pa g e 76

 Accessibility: - the site can be accessed easily from the Panvel & Khandeshwar railway station, Panvel bus depot which is within 5 km range.  It is the entry point for Panvel city, thus offers the best site for the construction of the administration building of the city which is the identity of the any city.  Better services like electricity, drainage & water supply are provided by CIDCO.  Site has road on all the 4, which makes the site accessible from multiple entry point.  Site fulfils the required area asked by the PCMC authority from the CIDCO.

Weakness 

Traffic: - the site is located at the junction of three major road networks which will affect the site during peak traffic hours.



Location: - major road network makes the site very vulnerable and expose it to air & noise pollution.



The site is divided into plot1, 2 & 3 out of which plot 1 is reserved for hospital and plot 2 & 3 are reserved for interstate bus terminus.



Site cannot be entered from the highway and one of other road is one way road which can only be use to exit the site.



Direct exposure to highway: no services road for the entry to the site on two major edges.

Opportunities 

Landmark design: - the location is such that it marks the starting of the Panvel city; hence it is a great opportunity t design the main building as the landmark & the identity for the city.



Additional function: - the lack of public facility in the vicinity makes the site ideal to incorporate public function which can also generate some income for the PCMC headquarter building’s maintenance.

Threat  No basement: - the water in the region does not allow the basement construction which can cause parking spaces shortage.  Hindrance at the entrances: - the entry to the site and to the building might cause further traffic issues on the highway and the junction.  Security: - the building has to be designed at the safe distance from the expressway flyover.

5.6.3 Air Environment Air pollution is the presence of one or more contaminants in the atmosphere in such a quantity and for such a duration which is injurious, to human health or welfare, animal or plant life.

It is the contamination of air by the discharge of harmful substances. Air pollution can cause health problems and it can also damage the environment and property. It has caused thinning of the protective ozone layer of the atmosphere, which is leading to climate change. Modernization and progress have led to air getting more and more polluted over the years. Industries, vehicles, increase in the population and urbanization are some of the major factors responsible for air pollution.

The largest sources of human created air pollution near sire are energy generation, transportation and industries that use a great deal of energy sources. Other sources include industries and power plants located in these areas.
