1.1 HYPOTHESIS Never before there have been so many of us. Never before the world has been so much in the motion & global dream of prosperity and a better future so pervasive. Never before there has been so much need for space. Every year global population grows by 80 million people. By 2050 70% of the world will be living in the highly urbanize areas. When many of the people dreaming for the same space, space becomes scarce. Let’s start with the story of human race. What can be more sustainable part of developing pattern for humanity is a question in a urbanization of the world. The world is changing its pattern to sufficient our need. Gandhi told us that, this world is enough for our need not for our greed and we have already started journey towards greedy nature a long ago. And by facing scarcity of space in capitalistic world, cities have been started growth on vertical axis. And from here story begins with growth-comfort-discomfort-race-power-industrial revolutionmodern engineering and saving the space for nature and next generation.

Figure 3 PROPORTION OF URBAN GROWTH

Figure 2 WORLD & INDIA POPULATION GROWTH CHART

Figure 4URBANIZATION IN DIFFERENT CITIES OF INDIA

Due to urbanisation taking place at a higher rate in India, population have been migrating to metro cities leading to higher density in those areas. According to a survey by world bank India would be one of the countries to face urban population surge by 2050. So, to address its shortcomings an approach must be taken in order to create better living environments in high density areas meeting the need of the future by bringing essential requirements of humans into single environment with consideration of parameters for healthy neighbourhood.

Looking forward to essential needs of future by creating a compact neighbourhood which includes this three types of spaces to live fulfilled, connected lives: their “first place” (home) for private relief: their “second place” (work) for economic engagement; and their “third place”, a more formless arena used for reaffirming social bonds and community identities which could be achieved by creating a development which is in vertical and horizontal layers 12 | ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN THEISS 2021-2022


one above the other, one with the others or interconnected creating multi-layered and multidimensioned organism so that essential requirements are in the reach of the people living there.

1.2 AIM An approach to architectural innovation for vertical development in denser cities of India. Architectural concerns can be focus hybrid structure at some point that, Vertical Development can be merge with the Horizontal Development and it can create diagonal interaction on social aspect. Also, the flexible commute can create sustainable linkage inside the project itself which helps to bridge two axes together and create sustainable layers which helps to revamp Vertical Neighbourhood.

Notes: This research will also consider the new data and information, non-availability or assumptions, which has been discovered through the framework to derived better outcome. 14 | ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN THEISS 2021-2022


1.3 VERTICAL NEIGHBOURHOOD The concept of a vertical neighbourhood is presented as an important architectural solution to ease the pressure of urban development in the city. There are many reasons for Vertical Neighbourhoods: traffic congestion affecting commuting time, the rapid growth of population density, the rise of rental housing and workplace due to the scarcity of residential and commercial area in high-density cities, and the impact of technology on employment.

The concept of Vertical Neighbourhood can be used as a tool to rejuvenate the city as it creates different activities on different floors at different times, giving continued life to the city. It consists of mixing uses of shops, offices, and apartments for the diversity of users of ages, income levels, cultures, and races in the community within neighbourhoods, within blocks and within buildings. This concept can be used to create high-quality comfortable public and private spaces by an emphasis on the beauty and aesthetics of the buildings that creates a sense of place within the community. https://awards.re-thinkingthefuture.com/rtf-awards-2020-runner-ups/rebirth-of-architecturevertical-neighbourhood-2100-bhairumal-sutar/

2.1 CASE OF MUMBAI From the decades Mumbai is The Financial Hub of the India. Mumbai is itself a country inside the country. From facing scarcity of land to scarcity of dreams this city knows all the faces of human beings. Having such tag of Financial Hub creates the scenario of Capitalism Mumbai area would be around 603 km². which is quite small for a metro and the population is about 1.5 Cr. and floating population would be around 2 Cr. that’s why to meet the demands of big population, Mumbai is developing vertically. Mumbai is failing to attract young talent owing to the poor quality of life and unaffordable housing.” Experts pointed to housing, high cost of living and traffic congestion as some of the factors that may have contributed to Mumbai’s low ranking. Here there is clear statement that this city needs to revamp their development and linkage module.

2.2 WHY MUMBAI? • The densest city and one of the populous city in India with facing issues like rapid urbanisation, population explosion and urban sprawl. • Mill lands which are still vacant are considered for the development as the lands are still abandoned and kept unused. •Opportunity in Mumbai to develop vertical structure is due to higher F.S.I. availability, vertical skyline.

2.3 MUMBAI AND MILL LANDS. The redevelopment of Mumbai's cotton mills began in 1992, when efforts began to demolish the numerous cotton mills that once dotted the landscape of Mumbai, India, to make way for new residential and commercial buildings, as part of the wider modernization of Mumbai. Strolling through Lower Parel, one can see the developed Mumbai with high structures and extravagant shopping malls like the Phoenix and the Palladium. The same place had been the site of hard work and toil for innumerable working class people for over a century, a site of struggle which had a potential to over throw any established building. Today, it is the space for the rich. It is interesting to see how these spaces have occupied the Mill buildings. There are no signs of its history, the people occupying the space have changed, the purpose behind these walls has changed. Wherein on the other side, the cracks on the walls still want to tell you a lot more about their history. Time changes people and places, however, memories never get erased. These walls that wish to narrate tales about their history must never be silenced and it is upon us to preserve them forever.

2.4 SITE AND CONTEXT LOCATION OF SITE: The site is located as land of Bombay dyeing mill in the G/South ward -Lower Parel. The site has direct connection with Lowe Parel sub-urban railway station, where Prabhadevi and Mahalaxmi stations are making triangle link with site. Western Part of the site has connection of Bandra - Worli Sea-link Coastal line which is 2.1 km away from the site and the route distance is 5.2 km.

After 137 years looms fall silent at Bombay Dyeing Established by Nowrosjee Wadia in 1879, the company was known for producing quality home textile products at two prime locations in Mumbai. In 2005, Nusli Wadia-owned company moved the manufacturing base from Mumbai to Ranjangaon near Pune. The Mumbai sites are being monetised as real estate assets. CONCEPT OF PARASITE :-

Figure 22 ILLUSTRATION OF PARASITE ACTIVITIES

23 | RETHINKING VERTICAL NEIGHBOURHOOD

Parasitic Architecture is defined as a building that is attached to an existing larger structure. It developed in response to the need to solve common city problems such as high rents and a lack of space, and even to provide respite from suffocating heat as congestion builds in urban areas.

Figure 31 LAYOUT DETAILS OF WORLD ONE

Structural Consideration: The project has composite material and core structure with tube structure also it has shear wall with the service core. There is no additional member or structural system in the project. Climatic Consideration: The project has projected boundary and usable spaces are slightly offset from the building boundary which create balcony on the edge. These projections helps to shade the usable space from heat. All the amenities are provided on the podium of the boundary for some segment of the flat holders it is visible and easy approachable when some of them has view of just a circulation spaces. Facilities only on one level reduce user approach in easy way.

Figure 33 MASTER LAYOUT OF LODHAPARK

33 | RETHINKING VERTICAL NEIGHBOURHOOD


Project has the diversity of a neighbourhood that is built around a communal, recreational space, which is Lodha Park. Worli is one of the highly desirable parts of Mumbai and due to project people are moving into this area of the city due to the ample green spaces. Project is providing a street life by integrating a commercial establishment along the street edge and enabling the project to engage with the city rather than isolate itself. Character and Uniqueness: The project was conceived as a neighbourhood, rather than a single development. The six towers were designed as two pairs in which each pair has a unique design, and two towers that complement each other. All the structures embody similar principles in terms of environmental and community features, but they are expressed in different ways. Towers 1 and 2 take the idea of Chhatris, which are elevated, Towers 3 and 4 use contemporary versions of Jaalis, which are latticed screens, usually with an ornamental pattern and faceted forms. Towers 5 and 6 play with scale and repetition.

The shape of the expanded towers makes them highly resistant to wind and earthquakes. In the event of power outages, the cross-ventilated apartments are a lot more habitable than spaces that rely on air-conditioning.

On a Podium level it has large commercial space with the essence of the mall. The Project has different kind of access points due to different user group-privacy and security to be maintain. The front rectangular part used as car parking with multilevel uses.

Figure 40 DISTRIBUTION OF FUNCTIONS IN QUANTITY

37 | RETHINKING VERTICAL NEIGHBOURHOOD

Character and Uniqueness: The project was conceived as a neighbourhood, rather than just a building block. The towers has basically distinct look with each other and lack of connection on in-between levels. Podium structure connect both wings on the levels. On that particular level there are two atrium which helps to flow light inside. Rectangular building with two layers present glass skin on the glass facade which is questionable for the heat gaining though with other aspects of the design it stands in gold rated building. With the flat gloss facade, it has glossy and reflective looks in the context.

Project Area: 80,000 sq. Mt Project Height: 245.8 Mt Total Towers: 2 Floor Count : 50 above Ground – 4 Basement Project type : Office Material: Composite, Floor spanning steel.

ABOUT PROJECT Tencent’s twin Seafront Towers (rising 50 and 39 storeys) serve as the new home for the tech conglomerate’s 12,000 employees and stand as city landmarks. Working as interior designer, B+H worked closely with the client and architect to adapt the concept of a vertical campus to reflect Tencent’s community-focused culture. Reminiscent of a university campus, this vertical campus offers amenities for work and play. Tencent’s mostly millennial talent will find a convivial workplace environment – part lifestyle hub and part social village – within an ergonomic and modern building. The towers are connected by skybridges, where those moving between towers can interact and meet to create synergies and generate fresh ideas. Each skybridge has its own unique theme

5.1 CONCEPTS OF YESTERDAY

Figure 64 LIFE-STORY IN COMPACT NEIGHBOURHOODS OF INDIA- CHAWLS AND JODHPUR HOUSES

Concepts of Neighbourhood from yesterday, providing us some key points like how one corridor connects all units with balcony and within that there is a staircase which allows users to socialize. On other hand study of Jodhpur pointing that how they connect terraces and how in levels they designed a perfect neighbourhood. Otla of those houses allow users to interact and internal linkages stays pedestrian only which helps to create healthy and compact Neighbourhood. 56 | ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN THEISS 2021-2022

5.4 CONCEPTUALIZATION OF LINKAGES ON HORIZONTAL AXIS

Figure 69 CONCEPTUAL SCRIBBLING FOR MAPPING JOURNEY OF THE PEOPLE INSIDE THE PROGRAM

JOURNEY THROUH THE MILL: As structure of abandoned Bombay dyeing mill becomes parasite for the project, those building blocks are in adaptive reuse. Here subtracting the walls from existing material and applied transparent material for subtracting part creates transparency for the glory of mills and structure. Also new functions of the mill building helped us to create attraction also those blocks are providing space for leisure time. Figure 70 SKETCHES OF CARVINGS IN MILL BLOCKS

HORIZONTAL CIRCULATION : As project has such a large area and long urban edge, direct connection from Pandurang Budhkar Marg and DP road-2034 should be open for safe interaction of pedestrian. So vehicular access of the site is designed on the corners with integrated basement access. Whole edge of the project treated as urban park which helped to celebrate leisure activities. 59 | RETHINKING VERTICAL NEIGHBOURHOOD

5.5 CONCEPTUALIZATION OF LINKAGES ON VERTICAL AXIS.

Figure 72 3D-DISTRIBUTION OF FUNCTIONS AROUND THE CORE AND LOOP CORE DIAGRAM

Sole purpose of stacking blocks on vertical axis is based on creating integrated function(Residential + Commercial + Facilities + Leisure) system with the loop system of multiple core. Also, different types of circulation pattern can be used to socialized people during the journey. Stacking in and out within the core helps to generate pocket spaces which can be used as canvas for leisure activities.

Figure 73 IMPOSING LINKAGES AND PATTERNS OF NEIGHBOURHOOD ON VERTICAL PLANE

After analyzing different kind of neighbourhood theory and patterns one can conclude that it has streets or linkages in certain shape or pattern which define the character of particular neighbourhood. “Streets and people create healthy neighbourhoods; if so people travel vertically, then streets should too.” If we imposed those patterns on the surface of the structure and stretched out those lines on z axis so here, this whole composition of lines create integrated circulation with experiential journey which helps to socialized people and by doing this we can create liveliness in the project. 60 | ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN THEISS 2021-2022


5.6 COCEPTUAL FORMATION OF MOBILITY REALITY OF MOBILITY

Figure 74 VISUAL DATA OF "PEOPLE ARE IN MOTION" AFTER REMOVING PHYSICAL FORM OF MOBILITY.

If we erase all the physical form of mobility from the area of lower Parel the junction will be look like the image. Everyone is in hurry even one patch of the society or habitable space has vertical mobility only. Actually, car and elevators both create revolution in urbanization but on what cost? It breaks the connection. it isolate people.

Figure 75 MAJOR MODES OF URBAN MOBILITY IN MUMBAI

Here fact is, apart from long distance commute people are happy with the pedestrian mode or cycling mode. Where car and elevators are breaking the social connection. Figure 75 HAPPINES INDEX FOR USING DIFFERENT MODES OF MOBILITY.

5.7 CONCEPTUAL FORM

DEVELOPMENT OF FORM: The main concern behind the idea of this design was to consider the floors of podium in gradually lifted formation. So, the Verticality starts gradually and neighbourhood facilities can be merged with in-between layers. By doing this design becomes hybrid with the functions so here we can create integrated neighbourhood. Also, ramps are following throug different levels which helps to explore levels with cycling or pedestrian mode.

Figure 78 CONCEPT-SKIN MERGE WITH LANDSCAPE

Figure 79 CARVING OUT MILL BLOCKS

Figure 77 CONCEPTUAL FORMATION OF CIRCULATION AND BLOCKS

RAMPS THROUGH THE MILL: Various spaces for public activities are connected with the ramps and few open green spaces. 63 | RETHINKING VERTICAL NEIGHBOURHOOD

Figure 80 INTERNAL CONNECTION FOR SOCIALIZING WITH NEIGHBOURS


Mill structure: The ground of the mill structure is covered with the Danpalon sheet which helps to generate experiential entrance to the in-between courtyard. Below the lifted level: The level under the lifted ground plate has edges of in and out which opens up in the open patches which helps to socialize. Only in between chambers has commercial blocks On the lifted level: Lifted level is connected with the ramps direct from ground one through the mill Block-1, another one is adjacent to the Block-2. After the lifted level blocks getting reduce which crates circulation on outer ring-though the ramps people can access upper levels also

6.0 DESIGN DEVELOPMENT The distribution of different typologies was done in a way that the lower portion till the uplifted ground level is provided for offices as well as small apartments(flexible), Commercial shops, Facilities- Education, Sports & Health the Vertical Block has hybrid functions so that, even on vertical axis people can do different activities of neighbourhood. Also, some floor plate has chunk and some has patches of green spaces which helps to provide urban park for leisure spaces on the vertical axis. Like one street, circulation for the verticality is breaking the compulsions of core circulation.

Figure 82 CONCEPTUAL FORMATION-ADDING AND SUBTRACTING BLOCKS

The distribution of core is based on the functions it has. From the ground cores can be segregated as two different uses Type A- Has three core blocks where A’ is limited to certain levels Type B- has one core block which can be use without any restrictions or security checking-which allows you to access things till lifted ground. Whole idea of segregation is based on security, circulation and public movement.

ELEMENT 01 SPLIT BLOCKSCertain stackings of floor plates in displace creates split blocks or spaces in-between which helps to provide recreational spaces to the vertical neighbourhood.

Figure 84 ELEMENT 01

ELEMENT 02 WIND DECEIVEShape of the structure is already in a form of the air flow. Because of the wind tube effect created by split blocks structure will behave in motion for top floors to avoid that- application of second layer is needed. Also, it will help to reduce heat-island effect on such a large vertical surface.

Figure 85 ELEMENT 02

ELEMENT 03 HORIZONTAL CONNECTIONIn-between on certain levels long horizontal floor plate can connect the two towers like a bridge and that particular floor plate can serve activities like Pool area, Cricket Turf and other leisure activities. This plate can repeat after serval layers. Also, this helps to reduce shear effect in two towers.

Figure 108 COMPONENTS OF SKIN

DYNAMIC FAÇADE – RESPOSIVE FAÇADE: A dynamic façade, also known as a responsive façade, is a building exterior that can change in response to its surrounding environment to maximise its performance. This can help control the interior environment within the building, and so minimise the energy consumption of building services systems. In this way, the 'skin' of the building is not static, but dynamic and can transform according to requirements. The responsiveness of the façade can be at the macro scale, which involves changes in its configuration using moving parts, or at the micro scale which involves changes affecting a material’s structure.

Figure 109 HEAT MAP FOR HEAT-ISLAND EFFECT ON SURFACE

92 | ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN THEISS 2021-2022

Macro responsiveness might include adjustable ventilation or moveable solar shading, used to optimise the amount of solar heat gain and visible light that is admitted into a building, or daylight lighting systems which can help to maximise natural daylight.


ALGAE FAÇADE: An algae facade is designed to improve indoor air quality through O2 production and CO2 absorption as a result of photosynthesis of algae. In addition, algae grown from bio-facades have the potential to be converted into renewable fuel stocks such as biomass or biofuel. Advantages of Algae Facade • • • • • • • • •

Biomass/biofuel is good for the environment Develops another fuel source Sequester carbon dioxide Reduces carbon footprint Lowers greenhouse gas emissions Mass adoption could lower urban heat island effect Reduces loads on existing infrastructure Need to adopt biology in built environment Could produce sustainable fabrics as by-product
