Fruit of the loom: rethinking the central mills of Mumbai as a centre of production/
No full textThe dualistic notion of third world urban economy has long been prevalent. The dichotomy is based on various criteria, which are reflected in the following classifications. Modern vs. tradition; capitalist vs. survival; big or small? However, despite the widespread use of double-sided classification, the distinction was not always clear or feasible. Since then, this concept has grown in popularity and is now widely used in the analysis of urban economies. The activities of the informal sector are unlicensed, taxable, unprotected and do not participate in legal contracts. The informal sector does not include any profession. A distinguishing feature is the way the activity is performed, not the activity itself. The paper aims to deal with the parameters of the informality in Central Mumbai through various models to designate ways/areas for expanding the existing formal
economy to accommodate features of the mixed economy existing in the city as a whole
Flim institute, merging flim education with movie production, Hyderabad
No full textI wanted to create a fantastical realm. A place where you may put your creativity and imagination to the test and express yourself. The Film City is also about corporatization, globalization, and generating enormous worldwide attention. It has the capacity to employ millions of people and is entirely committed to the entertainment industry. It integrates various types of entertainment, including television, print, and events, to deliver healthy
pleasure to consumers throughout the world. The Indian and other film industries have developed by leaps and bounds over the last century and have witnessed incredible technological advances. To expedite this expansion,we need to build a ready-to-shoot, pollution-free infrastructure in Delhi, in northern India, to
fuel our emotions. The outdated city studio sets need to be changed right now. Every year, the film complex generates billions of rupees in money, which may assist the state in generating cash via various methods, and the institute will train aspiring filmmakers in the film industr
undergraduate campus design Bengaluru
No full textThe Indian Institute of Management Bangalore is a leading business school in Asia with around 100 full-time faculty members, more than 1200 students across various long duration programmes and nearly 5000 annual Executive Education participants. The current campus spread over 100 acres was designed by the celebrated architect B V Doshi. Completed in 1983, the current campus of IIM Bangalore won the 17th spot among the '25 Most Significant Works of Post-War Architecture', according to The New York Times Style Magazine. The campus is a destination and a pilgrimage for students of architecture and practising architects. IIMB plans to develop a new campus for its soon to be launched Undergraduate programme in a 110- acre plot located approximately 25 km away from the existing campus. at Mahanthalingapura Village, Aneka Taluk, Bengaluru urban distric
A case of Hauz Khas Delhi
No full textThe ever-increasing demand, be it for land or for other resources, has led the world into a big sink hole. Right from the introduction of motor vehicles, cities were designed to facilitate these vehicles rather than building to optimize for the people. For example, in 1950s, the buildings and public space near the roads of Amsterdam (Netherlands) were destroyed to pave way for these vehicles. Although, the introduction of these vehicles was one of the important aspects in transportation, however, the over-use and over consumption has risen a lot of troubles for the present and the future generation, like global warming, climate change, air pollution, etc. Where most of the countries were focusing on the development of the roads for vehicular movement, there were a few countries like Netherlands and Denmark where the local planners were mostly focusing on developing the nation through upscaling and developing the bicycle infrastructure. These developments were useful not only for the cycle users but also for the pedestrians as they would open up a lot of public space which were before used by vehicles, in addition to this they have a much better environmental condition. In comparison to these countries, India like the rest of the countries focused on developing for cars, which resulted in over consumption of public space, environmental degradation, etc. Thus, the need to study various other approaches arises to benefit the community as a whole. The site selected for this thesis topic is Hauz Khas, Delhi.
Over the years, people are finally realizing the importance of bike-able cities. In the last 10 years a push towards public bicycle sharing (PBS) systems was observed although due to political and design related issues it did backfire a lot of times. Also, according to the DCHB, Delhi has a cycle ownership of 35%. One such problem identified in the current infrastructure is the continuity, most of the Indian cities prefer pop-up bicycle lanes which leads the user to an uncomfortable situation where sometimes they have to save themselves from the over speeding vehicles. The other problem is the status of the bicycle infrastructures. Most of the infrastructures are either in a dilapidated condition or are inaccessible. The PBS systems, did tap in the educational and work trips market and in some cities like Delhi did make a quite success. However, the only focus towards these two forms of trips and towards the PBS system does arise research question: Are there any other trips which may facilitate in motivating people to cycle more and also include the 35% cycle owners of Delhi?
In order to find a proper solution to the above question a series of analysis and literature review were done. The analysis includes, urban green space in the study area, network analysis of the existing road infrastructure, principal component analysis (PCA) for the perception-based survey forms, descriptive statistics, etc. The data was collected from various agencies working with the government and primary survey through questionnaire.
Tracing the connections between these findings, and existing research reveals a range of outcomes and also the possibility of designing for recreation-based trips
Climate resilience to foster sustainable development: A case of Bhubaneswar city
No full textThe world population is expected to reach 9.8 billion people by 2050 according to
UN. More than twice as many people will live in cities (6.7 billion) as in rural areas,
according to estimates (3.1 billion). Urban systems must be resilient enough to face
various challenges to make our cities more and more sustainable. Flooding is one
of the world's most experienced natural disasters. India is a climate-vulnerable
country that ranks high among countries at danger from climate change. In a
growing country like India, urban regions are major investment grounds,
accounting for 60% of the country's overall GDP. Any unplanned course of action
such as changing the vulnerable land use to build up like flood plains, wetlands
would aggravate the exposures during any kind of disaster. Urban areas that are
most susceptible to external shocks and stresses are those that have fragile
systems as well as large populations of the socially or economically marginalized.
Climate change, whose adverse effects threaten all nation’s capacity to achieve
sustainable development, is one of the biggest problems of our time, according to
the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The state has also suffered 31
flood events in 36 years, from 1975 to 2011.Smart city Bhubaneswar is also
growing rapidly nearly twice in two decades. The problem is this critical aspect of
climate resilience is missed in the master plan which can have further aggravated
outcomes soon in a disaster event and to add that Bhubaneswar has been
experiencing more frequent urban floods. Flood risk zones were created using
analytical spatial modelling in GIS to better understand floods and their
repercussions. These zones account for the locations where a flood hazard is
predicted to occur and reflect socioeconomic and infrastructural susceptibility.
Master plans along with land use land cover has been studied to find out vulnerable
areas with appropriate parameters from literature. Both physical and social
assessments are overlayed with weightage using AHP technique to produce risk
map. The risk map was compared with proposed master plan Bhubaneswar 2030
to create more resilient spatial plan by devise norms and adopting best practices
to handle urban systems better during a flooding event. By incorporating disaster
risk reduction techniques into the land use plan, the primary objective is to assure
urban growth that can coexist with natur
Mental peace and architecture/
No full textPeace serves as a guideline for a person's emotional well-being and is a significant objective that many
individuals aspire for in their life. People have always sought it, and we still seek inner peace and joy in our
fast-paced life. Well-being is more than just a mental or emotional state. Well-being is more than a mental
level of awareness; it is governed by how we experience the influences in our surroundings. The purpose of
this paper is to continue some of this work beyond the research and to educate more people about the
concepts and potential of using architecture to create joy. Environmental influences play a significant part in
determining a person's level of mental peace
Freight distribution through urban rail corridor
No full textThe present-day urban Freight in all the developing countries is mainly dependent on road transportation that gives rise to congestion on roads, heavy vehicles movement on roads, disturbing regular users, and inappropriate stopping locations sometimes on the roads until the unloading and many minute things which are affecting the traffic flow and increasing the emissions. These are occurring primarily in urban environments, such as urban to urban or inside urban areas. This study will focus on cities with local train connectivity for freight transit by eliminating road transportation, as well as the end mile delivery. The commodities handled will be described based on the establishment survey. The present-day supply chain is studied and analysed. Later, the existing supply chain operations will be redirected with new interventions using the sub urban rail corridor. End mile connectivity is also considered in this study for which Electric vehicles are recommended. Altogether this study will be an attempt to reduce the carbon footprint and reduce the usage of urban roads for freight, by recommending a hybrid mode of freight distribution in the urban areas
Planning imperatives for the leather cluster in Kanpur
No full textThe process of Industrialization has been leapfrogging followed by many countries to accomplish economic development and expansion by forming industries, manufacturing output, job creation, and government income to match human social demands. The industrial sector contributes 25.29of the country’s GDP, out of which the manufacturing sector contributes 14.43% % (National Statistical Office Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation Government of India 2020). In apparel and textile production, the leather sector occupies an important place in the Indian economy because of substantial export earnings, the potential for creating employment opportunities, and favorable factor conditions for its sustained growth. There are several major leather clusters in India, but Uttar Pradesh is one of the top exporters of leather in the country thus, contributing majorly to the country’s and state GDP. Jajmau leather cluster is one of the selected clusters undertaken for the research since it has a legacy of more than 150years, dating around the colonial period.
Currently, the Kanpur leather cluster is facing a steep downfall in export share and turnover due to various factors. To bring back the glorious status of Kanpur, U.P Government has proposed the relocation of Jajmau tanneries to the new site that is Mega Leather Park in Ramaipur village of Kanpur district. This study aims to assess the existing issues and plan for the revival of the leather industry in Kanpur. A primary survey is conducted in the current cluster to understand the ground level, qualitative and perceptual scenario, which represents all the issues, challenges, and dilemmas of relocation. The research finds the challenges of the Jajmau cluster and evaluates the internal strengths, weaknesses, external opportunities, and threats in the Jajmau and proposed site. The outcome includes a holistic approach by adopting the planning interventions, incentives, policy-based strategies, and sustainable approaches for both existing and new site to revive the dying leather cluster of Kanpur
International exhibition cum convention centre, Kaloor, Kochi, Kerala/
No full textThe growth of MICE industry and the scope of economic growth due to it is considerable in a city like Kochi which is the economical capital of Kerala with a good connectivity, best of medical facilities, scope of fusion of business with leisure due to the tourism potential of the state, presence of good hotel brands and the presence of technology companies. The exhibitions and gatherings which happen in temporary structures setup in open grounds across the district causes huge loss and they are prone to fire and other hazards which can cause
loss of human life. That is when the GCDA is proposing an International exhibition cum convention centre in the open ground in front of JNI stadium which is a prime location with good connectivity and presence of luxury hotels in the proximity.The design has to stick to the requirement and brief provided while being responsive to the understandings and inferences obtained during the background studies on the site and locality. The overall scheme of the proposed design is to have an exhibition cum convention centre of international standards while it being useful for the local residents as well as international visitors and delegates. It is tried to incorporate spaces and programmes which can attract public to a certain extend and keep the building live throughout the week. The flexibility in usage of halls is taken in to consideration while designing in the limitations of the site
