Urban Design Report | Periyamet | MEASI | Semester 9

“Dull, inert cities, it is true, do contain the seeds of their own destruction and little else. But lively, diverse, intense cities contain the seeds of their own regeneration, with energy enough to carry over for problems and needs outside themselves.” – Jane Jacobs

ABSTRACT Urban Intervention of Periyamet, Nov 2020.

Urban designing is an interminable process. Although the term ‘urban design’ may have been coined in the mid-1950s, it was still largely unused outside a small circle of people concerned with development of precincts of cities. Now it is used for almost anything associated with human settlements. This change has occurred because of the importance of urban design’s interest in providing opportunities for the development of the quality of life of people and, indeed, of the planet. Hence, the final product of the planning process, the built environment, is a habitat for a wide variety of people with equally diverse wants and needs.

The question is, how does planning incorporate the needs, wants and visions of existing and future inhabitants while at the same time raising awareness of the often complex issues and wicked problems involved in urban development?

In this report we present a set of readings on Urban Design research done in and around Periyamet - Central plaza area and Salt cotaurs. It is structured in three parts based on the three stages of study. The first mainly focusing on familiarizing with the common urban design terms and understanding the given area of study. The second- comprehending the potential of the site and proposing a masterplan. And lastly, the third- identifying interventions apart from the core proposals and putting forth possible solutions.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We, as a team, are forever indebted to our dean, Dr.A.N.Sachithanandan for supervising us from time to time with his suggestions and encouragements.

As much as virtual classes were new and perplexing for my fellow mates, so was it for our professors, Ar. Anis Mohamed and Ar. Lokesh, who despite all uncertainties, continued to assist us during odd hours. I’m thankful to both of them for their enthusiasm and guidance throughout the semester.

In addition, I’d also like to thank our professor, Ar. Shilesh, who out of his own interest helped us in shaping the study in a much better manner.

It is clear from the most cursory glance at this study that it has been heavily dependent on the resources online. Much of the material on the case studies have come from secondary sources due to the current circumstances. All those of significance have been referenced in the text and are listed towards the end. These sources have often been supplemented by interviews of the people involved , news articles and by site analysis available online. Many people have thus been involved in completing this work. I whole-heartedly thank them all for without these resources working on this, let alone bringing it to fruition would have been impossible.

While these resources are scattered all around the web, tracking them down and assembling the data is time consuming. I’m grateful to be a part of this team and I thank my classmates for working on a virtual platform and keeping track of a schedule amidst a pandemic and successfully completing it.

FROM THE FACULTY

ANIS MOHAMED Asso. Professor The experience in the design studio this time has been very new since most interactions have been through digital media like google meet, whatsapp etc due to the global pandemic COVID-19. I would like to congratulate the students who did a very good job within the restrictions they had due to the pandemic conditions. Keeping themselves alive and enthusiastic to complete a project of this scale that needs constant consistent work is to be appreciated.

Since the focus of this semester’s design studio was on the urban fabric,we hope that the students would have got a wider understanding of the place we live and the complexities involved in it. The area chosen for study was an interesting one with a lot of challenges and we hope the students enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed it. For me it was a great teaching as well as learning experience. I would like to thank the design chair, my co-staff and all the students for this unique experience.

LOKESH Asso. Professor
