Patching1 Urban Ecosystems- Connecting municipalities through water[pach] To patch means to mend or strengthen a weak area

GSAPP | MSAUD Fall 2014 | Urban Design Studio II | Team Work

Preserve undeveloped pervious land around citys key drinking water resource while refocusing development in relation to water within the urban fabric of Newburgh and New Windsor to catalyze regional economies.

Reorienting development based on watersheds by limiting development around Lake Washingtons drinking water supply while promoting development to activate Newburghs forgotten Quassaick creek watershed.

Locally this project repatches the shared fabric of Newburgh, New Windsor and Newburgh town by through a series of patched corridors between the two towns with the creek at their center. The watershed becomes the organizing feature to Activate a recreational hub, to Connect to new livable development opportunities, and Innovate new green industry opportunities while reactivating the forgotten Quassaick creek waterfront.

Leveraging waters value in the region as a critical commodity (drinking water) as well as a critical ecological and recreational asset, this project envisions a new place for water in urban development in the region. Through a strategy of re-patching urban and ecological fabrics we propose to: (1) Protect areas around critical drinking water resources; (2) Mitigate the most threatening impacts on water quality through new green infrastructure (3) Enhance quality of life by leveraging water; (4) Use water to catalyze new development, minimizing footprints around water and refocusing development in already urban areas to reinvigorate urban space and connect fragmented neighborhoods and resources.

Social NetworkConnecting people to create better neighbourhoods

We visualize Morrisania as a lively neighborhood with engaging infrastructure for the current and future residents, revitalized streets, and a new development model based on community participation. This model will create a network of services over time with the collaboration of HPD, developers and the community and include green pockets, community empowerment facilities, essential neighborhood services and retail creating a sustainable and thriving district.

The mandatory green factor model would ensure sustainable development over time as well as create quality open spaces. 3rd Avenue would become an active commercial corridor with restaurants; community music centers connected to outdoor performance spaces and Washington Avenue would become a friendly street with adult literacy classrooms, cafes, reading rooms overlooking green picnic spots and community pockets interconnected with bike paths.

Fracture

GSAPP | MSAUD Fall 2014 | Surface, Screen, Structure| Team WorkBina Bhatia . Crystal Eksi. Charles Xou . Mark Mandera . Stephanie C.

The articulation of the surface is driven by the desire to create the illusion of fluidityand volume as light filters in through the building skin. The main thread of design investigation for the double skin facade was to create a sense of movement through an abstraction of twist to create fractures to percieve different view cones as a person moves along the street or within the building.The surface acting as a mediator between the building and the street is three dimensional in the sense that it allowsseeing through completely, partially or nothing at all.

Another resident appreacting photographs of the forgotten assets of the Quassaick.3. Two ladies visualizing how they wish their favourite spots on the Quassaick Creek could be developed.

#Tweet the Creek was a walkthrough simulating the Quassaick Creek in an abstract fashion. Participants walked the downhill path of Downing Vaux Park in Newburgh city and followed stenciled information about the Quassaick Creeks issues. Along the walk, two active interaction points were installed to aid in selecting between design site options and to inform on proper program makeup for the future design proposal. The intent of the project was to gauge from people which parts of the hidden creek they know about and access, which would inform design and also through a mini photo booth help residents visualize the creek programmatically.

The project began with the assumption that people attract people. As lovers of the urban environment, we understand that it is the most efficient way to activate an urban space. The underutilized park was chosen for this urban installation to work as a testing site to see if it would be reactivated once the intervention got built. The results showed that the creek, also underutilized, can be reactivated.

We believe the Quassaick Creek can do this for Newburgh.

Fluctuatat Nec MergaturMSAUD |Summer 2014 | RNYU + DMUD | Team WorkBina Bhatia . Jun Park . Ceaser Nicholes

For ages urban dwellers have thought of their city survival as that of the ships. Rome had a manifestation of a ship like city island, their merchants carried this mythology to Paris. New York citys own island was a zone of quarantine isolating diseases and criminals that might otherwise jeopardize the citys survival.With the future of coastal cities uncertain, it is now time to revive this mythology. These vessels are Arcs for preserving our urbanity and modes of life in an unknown world. New cities, new islands, new ships all imbibed into one, these vessels are cities that can choose their connections and their geographies. Their resiliency will get them through the future.

Part 4 : MO-OFism

Taking the first step towards designing and managing complex structures as an Architect, visualizing and creating impressions and experiences within the built and between the built, detailing the handrail and the window cill , and materiality of the walls, of the roof and the spaces contained within and having that first argument with the structural designer, for that flawless cantilevered soffit... yes, we did manage it at the end.

The interdependence of a community and the individual is vital for the growth of an educational institution. These relationships have been structured into three dimensional constellations that is informed by movement and varying level of privacy of diverse pro-grams. The entire Institute is structured around the courtyard concourse and its various voids connecting flowing spaces at different levels for a networked learning process.

The PlatformThe Lower program is seen as a heavy base to a floating canopy. The base houses the afternoon programs of the learning curriculum such as workshops and Laboratories. The heavy base with thick stone walls increases the Time Lag for solar- heat penetration. The solid platform

is punctuated with voids that allow for hot air to dissipate.

ConcourseThe Middle section of the building is a Stilted Platform that allows for a student activity zone. This zone behaves as concourse level to the entire building as it filters and mediates people through. The concourse is visually connected to the section above and below through the voids.

LightwellsThe voids are reminiscent of the traditional courtyard that anchor common public and community programs. Smaller courtyards work as three dimensional light wells which offer visual connectivity through the layers. These redefined courtyards holds the institute and the larger academic community together. The space operates both at a communi-ty scale and individual scales.

School of Planning and ArchitectureProject BUA: 320,000 sq ft.

The Student housing is fragmented moving away from dormitory or hostel organisations which foster a regimented form of social control. An attempt is made to break this very notion by streets, courtyards, bridges, verandahs and terraces. These spaces create a variety of chance interaction between students.This fragmentation is continued on the floors above which allow for semi-private interaction zones.

Model showing massing of the University Campus

The housing is an active pedestrian ground which is stimulated as the streetscape gets trans-formed into verandahs and chowks. The housing breaks the strict definitions of the layers by fragmenting the program by streets, verandahs, courtyards and other common programs.

The housing is envisioned as a low rise environment with the idea of creating Living Courts that merge with active streets. The housing merges residential program with contiguous non program which allows for spillover. This creates a lively neighborhood that fosters informal interactions between

students.

The space creates a sense of romanticism and whimsy that is often lost in brand coordinated spaces with the use of recycled materials such as stacked beer bottles as the luminescent bar and ceiling, coupled with the inclusion of wooding seating that is salvaged. Reused Handmade tiles snake through the restaurant in a random pattern that allows for new imaginations and re-imaginations of floor frescoes.

76 villa residences with 18 typologies and a common clubhouse are scattered on a hilly site, with spectacular views. Each typology is designed unique to the topography it sits on with airy living spaces, large decks and balconies with infinity pools that extend from each room to take in natural light, air and views. The exteriors are designed using a combination of three materials - stone, plaster and wood to break scales.

Started my journey, as an intern from a place that was created from scratch by young Architects, just like me, with a dream to create the ideal, utopian place, completed with gestures of creative innovation and love.

Concieved as a mix of rustic and contemporary architecture, all internal spaces of the house open out to some form of nature. Each outdoor space is formed as an extension of adjacent interior space, and they come to embrace spatial narratives of public space as a semi-private buffer zone against neighboring spaces and the surrounding nature.

The house is an example of how traditional style can blend into a modern house, where each element retains its distinct character yet there is a perfect amalgamation of the old with the new. Old vernacular elements like the Kerela style terrace and roof with wooden posts and rafters, wooden louvred windows and brick jali come together to form a contemporary looking house with subtle hints from the past. The internal rooms of the house are tiled with various tones of natural Shahabad stone to form patterns of different hues of green and yellow. The living spaces open unto the internal courtyard which acts like an organising feature within the house. East Elevation

The design process started by carving out open and semi open volumes from all sides of the house to create terraces, niches and balconies to derive a volumetric form that is functional and aesthetic. The semi open patio divides the house into two, with the living room on one side and the more private spaces on the other.

Pen, a part of the Mumbai metropolitan region is strategically located between two growing cities Mumbai and Pune and is in danger of becoming just another part in its agglomeration and losing its cultural heritage and identity. Pen is going to become the epicenter of develop-ments due to the various infrastructure projects that connect it to Mumbai.

The project proposes to create a vibrant urban culture within this dense city, built around lo-cal communities, institutions and governance. A knowledge economy which is about creative people coming together to add value to work, through the exchange of information to gener-ate new ideas. This inclusive approach in planning of urban growth will facilitate the process of decentralization of production and distribution, making this peripheral city self sufficient.

Developmental pressures on Pen

3.Human scale at the street level lost2.Change in the language of the core

4.Poverty behind the glossy image5.Ganpati workshops replaced by

service centres

The BAU Scenario 2030

Due to the increased connectivity, transport to the neighbouring cities will be made easy causing Pen tobecome a dormitory town. It will stand to lose its indeginous culture and will embrace a new suburban way of lifeencompassing slums, poverty and unemployment

Declining number ofpeople taking part in smallscale industries.

2010

Pen has followed the common route of cities ; the service sector concentrated at the cen-ter and the residential area expanding around its periph-ery.

The advent of SEZs andindustries has created a newworking class culture in Pen.

2020

2030

1,2.Ignoring local industry

The Culture under threatThe otlas, verandahs and balconies surrounding the

houses are used as workspaces by thepeople for making ganpati idols and papads.

The vision is to provide a strategy plan for Pen for the next 20 years aiming to transform the city into a livableurban utopia. A series of projects have been proposed, spread across the city. It is envisioned that these will act as a catalyst that direct the natural growth of the city.

The art district located in the city core will become the destina-tion for creativity, providing inspiration and recognition, nurtur-ing innovation and diversity. The housing created offers scope for densification for future population. This is done without losing the essence of their lifestyle due to the provision of interactive spaces and visual connectivity with the street.

Kalagram - Art hub

The setting up of the food park will enable them to capture their entrepreneurial spirit and scale their skills from the kitchen level to the community level and finally to the industrial level. This community level entreprise will give a boost to the local agro based industry through value based addition by combining skill and technology at the same place.

Food Park

The city no longer acts as a parasite to nature in the process of urbanization. The role of river is reintegrated into the everyday life of the people through the creation of community farm parks, public spaces, nature trails and a public spaces and Ganpati idol immersion during festivals.

River Revitalization

Regional and city level linkages developed with a clear prioritytowards non-motorised and public form of transport.A ring road and intracity bus system is implemented with extra storage capacity enabling the transport of goods. Green multi-modal links provide connectivity with the residential areas and the transit routes.

Strategic Interventions

Home levelSmall scale

Community levelmoderate scale

City levelLarge scale

The entire organism spreads into the city giving it a new life and world class quality of recreation bringing people together and making the city more than just a workspace.

The divide in the city due to the presence of the highway and the railway line causes inequitable growth of the city .

A city level recreation hub provided over the existing transit corridor connecting the two areas by pedestrian green links

flowing into the cityscape.

Central Plaza

The proposed urban development for Pen will facilitate the process of decentralisation ofproduction and distribution making these peripheral cities independent thus preventing the

spread of cancerous unbalanced urban growth.

This lane serves the people working in the

commercial sector during the day and the

residents of the area during the evenings

with its mouth watering cuisines.

The area constructs a mental image

of a traditional Indian market street

with the cries of the vendors, the

hustle of the shoppers, the catcalls

of the handcart wallahs and the call

of the Azaan from its mosques.

SITE INTRODUCTION

The area defines the

mental boundary of a

religious character due to

type of users.

Cloth Market

Khau galli

This node is a intersection with

a major arterial road of the city,

with parking below the flyover.

Masjid Bunder

Station

The area is primarily defined

by the religious function

interspersed with formal and

informal shopping activities.

Fountain Node

.

The increase in the density of the

region has taken its toll on the

sanitary and hygiene conditions.

Dumping of garbage in the gaps

between the buildings is rampant.

The increasing vehicular intensity

has resulted in noise pollution in the

area

The area faces an acute shortage of

water.

SOCIO- CULTURAL ASPECT

The handcarts form a very

important part of the cultural setting

of the street.

The buildings envelope the street

providing a visual and physical edge.

The street functions as a spill out

space for recreational activities in

the khau galli and cloth market.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT

The area serve as a the

only recreation cum

shopping space for the

women of that area..

Mumbadevi Node

The street cannot be considered as

an isolated space. The delineation

of site has been done on the basis of

the multiple activity pattern of the

various users observed on the site.

The superimposition of the

densely used road networks, the

halting points offered by the street

and the behavioral patterns of the

users that has generated the

delineation of the street.

LEGAL ASPECT

The street is invaded by hawkers who have

made it their domain.

The existing pagdi system has resulted in

minimal rents discouraging the residents to

leave the area.

The increasing commercial profits

achieved in this area paves way for rapid

commercialization.

This also proves to be a major road

The religious institutions of this area, although

yet are part of the residents daily life are

steadily losing their influence over the users of

this street due to heavy commercialization.

Mapping of Street Users

HANDCARTWALA- The people pushing the handcarts are engaged in delivering goods the whole day. The little time that they get between two trips, they spend in relaxing on their handcarts, making small talk with other handcartwalas generally in front of shops that are shut.

PASSERBY- The pedestrians simply passing through the street generally halt in front of eateries or the bhaji market, due to lack of space and the prevailing bustle on the street.

SHOPKEEPERS- The shopowners, in their leisure time, prefer to gather just outside their shops and pass their time with the adjoining shopkeepers.

HAWKERS- As hawkers c a n n o t l e a v e t h e i r respective stalls, they limit t h e i r r e c r e a t i o n t o interacting with the neighbouring hawkers on the streets.

CHILDREN- The small RG is the only recreational space for the children. The area is deficit of open spaces and although this land comes as a welcome space, the unappealing paving makes most of the children go to Azad Maidan.

SENIOR CITIZENS- The area outside the Masjid and the Mumbadevi temple becomes the most used space by the elders. They visit the mosque daily for namaaz and then the street automatically becomes the opted spill out space.

WOMEN- The bhaji market and the cloth market are the only women oriented spaces in the area. The site does not have any o the r r e c re a t i ona l sp a c e dedicated for women.

Bharat Nagar -2010

Bharat Nagar, a marash land was reclaimed in the 1970s and saw a shift of people during th 1976 riots. At that time, the site was known for the illegal production of alchohol and drugs and there was a constant period of conflict between various religious communities.Recently, this area has been taken up DBI builders and political leaders directly or indirectly funding the development with private institutions. The entire landscape pf Bharat Nagar will undergo a massive makeover with the upcoming metro line. Apart from the mosque surroundings, the entire area faces reconstruction and commercialization with reduction in residences.
