 ADVERTORIAL

SOUND AND FIRE RATED DOORS

Sauerland Spanplatte has been active in the Indian door industry since 2008 and has introduced the tubular door
concept enriched with their vast experience of more than 65 years and spanning exports to 90 countries in
Year 2017.

Sauerland have further upscaled the technology

for the Indian door industry to introduce fire
containment cores for fire rated doors up to 60
minutes together with Sound Reduction of up to
34 dBs as an additional benefit through their
channel partners in India for door set passing
the 1 Hour rating using the Sauerland Cores as
per BS 476: Part 22: 1987 or as per IS 3614 Part
2 (1992).

The specialty of fabricating fire containment

door with Sauerland core is that it eliminates the
use of any inorganic material in the construction
like Gypsum board, Cement board or Calcium
Silicate or Fiberglass etc making the door light
weight and 100% recyclable. With additions of
certain accessories like Drop down seals, one
can make the door - fire rated; smoke arrestor
as well as sound reduction up to 34dBs.

The Acoustical features benefit on daily basis

by keeping out or keeping in the sounds,
restricting the noise pollution to a great
extent.

Now Door manufacturers in India can offer the

builders and architects a triple acting door set
which provides for the much necessary fire
protection of 60 minutes clubbed with sound
reduction of 34dB and also with smoke
containment technology.

Sauerland Cores are having very low formaldehyde level of E1, which means they are safe for internal use in
residential buildings. These are the most lightweight fire doors, highly performance oriented for the 30, 45 and 60
minutes fire rated door category now available in India.

Cores and drop down seals, Contact

 INCOME GENERATING PROPOSAL FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF COASTLINE OF MUMBAI

Income Generating Proposal for Future Development of

Coastline of Mumbai
Prof. Archana Bhattacharyya - Email : archana_b51@yahoo.co.in
Prof. Archana Bhattacharyya, an academician, researcher and practicing architect, Archana
Bhattacharyya did graduation from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, Masters in Architecture (Urban
Design) from University of Oklahoma, United States of Americaand Ph.D in Architecture from
Jadavpur University, Kolkata.
She is a retired professor of Sir J.J. College of Architecture, Mumbai. She worked with M/s. Ghosh,
Bose & Associates, Kolkata. She has 20 years of Professional Experience and 18 years of Teaching
Experience.

ABSTRACT : This Thesis was awarded the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Engineering from the Department of Architecture,
Jadavpur University, Kolkata. The topic of research was “Critical Assessment of Coastal Urban Areas and Formulationof
Guidelines for Future Development (Focus on Coastline of Mumbai).
The entire proposal forms an overview which should be useful to the public – enhancing the urban coastal ambience –
increasing the tourism and commercial potential while simultaneously securing a clean and healthy environment-protected
and designed to suit and serve the various requirements. The intention is to formulate the potential role of the coastal areas of
Mumbai. The study was conducted through primary surveys of the areas.
One of the issues which this present research has managed to provide a fresh perspective is in the area of user-response-
behavioral study. The researcher's firsthand experience of visiting many seafronts both in overseas and India have also
contributed to the research finding of the topic. The conclusion drawn from the analysis and evaluation of the questionnaires
was applied in various areas of the design development process and formulation of guidelines for future development. The aim
of the project was to find a
strategy for future development of the area to benefit the city. A vision plan for the area is prepared to look at multiple
scenarios.
The set back line of 500 m. in urban cities is not practical. Other developed countries have developments sometimes just
adjacent to the shore. F.S.I. in Island City should be increased to cater to the additional housing need. Advanced countries have
F.S.I. up to 10 in such conditions whereas Mumbai has very less F.S.I. For efficient urban planning and development, GIS system
has become important.
The redevelopment research report can be adopted as model for Coastal Urban Areas keeping in view architecture, socio-
economics and development regulations.
Vision 2020 is inclusive growth, composite culture and peaceful neighbourhood.
Supporting key words denoting the attitude in the application of the present philosophy are :
• Respect -Sensitivity and
• A sense of Gratitude for Nature
The design facilitates -
• Maintaining views to and from the site;
• Establishing urban streets and public spaces;
• Reinforcing streets as the Park Axis;
• Integrating with nearby waterfront development
• Connecting waterfront precincts
• Promoting an active and working waterfront
• Facilitating a mix of uses and activities
• Providing sustainable transport options

Design Concept

The truth is, honeybees are crucial

elements of our environment, and
almost never get the credit that
they deserve. If bees didn't exist,
humans wouldn't either. Wonder
Why? Out of the 100 crop species that provide us with 90% of
our food, 70% are pollinated by bees (source). It's that simple.
Bees are the primary initiators of reproduction among plants,
as they transfer pollen from the male stamens to the female
pistils. When we say our building design to be eco friendly,
what more can represent the concept better. As architects we
need to contribute to society to cater human needs in a way
we live bonded with nature, precisely restrict the way we use
resources and not to exploit them. The honey bee shape is just
a symbolic representation for the eco-friendly building
representation for the eco-friendly building designed to
conservatively use the natural resources and to bond with
nature for people coming to unwind from their regular
schedule.

Sea breeze that moves towards land during day, due to the low
pressure created in land, usually tend to cool the interior. So
proper openings in this direction would save a large amount of
energy that otherwise is artificially cooled. Land breeze that
eventually move towards night as low pressure is created at
sea. This air generally has a lot of heat in it. So reduction or
proper cross ventilation is required so that there is no
accumulation of heat in the interior. Setting up farm land that
would be cultivated to produce all organic fruits and
vegetables. (south west covered by vegetation to protect solar
heat radiation) Visitors can also engage in this activity and
educate themselves.

Creating Own Microclimate

By introducing water bodies like small or big pools would tend

to a viable microclimate a that would in turn make the resort
rooms feel comfortable. Site divided into three zone from
front to rear marked indifferent color and front having the
closest proximity to ECR it is ideal to host the, - Business centre
- Restaurant that are used by people on a daily basis. Mid color
a good buffer space that can house all the resort rooms. This
also provides the necessary privacy to resort rooms. Rear color
zone this space would be ideal for recreational activities with a
good sea view. A 200m set back is provided as per the CRZ - III

Place of Learning at Diu Relationship of Integrated Studies

Student Dipika Parikh - Email : dipikaparikh1984@yahoo.co.in

Dipika Parikh has completed diploma in architecture from government polytechnic for girls. After
completion of diploma she had trained under Ar. Ashwin Mukul and has a work experience under
Ar. Yagnesh Vyas for 13 years. She has also worked in HCP planning and management for a year. With
over 14 years experience in architectural design, she has exceptional skills and experience in
planning, detailing, designing and coordinating projects both in the public and private sectors. She
has worked in housing, residential projects, private bungalows, hospitals, hotels, schools, interior
works of bungalows, flats and restaurants.

She has excellent communication, public relations, problem-solving and leadership skills, combined
with a deep knowledge of engineering and architectural codes, make her a highly valuable employee
and team leader. She is looking to further her career with a professional firm with an environmentally
sustainable focus.

Dipika is also looking to take part in many international and national competitions regarding
architecture, to explore new ways of designing.

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively
and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the
goal of true education”
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
“As an Architect, you design for the present, with an
awareness of the past for a future which is essentially
unknown”
- Sir Norman Foster, Architect
The quote by Churchill also underlines the importance of
Architects in our society.
All of these quotes were chosen by me as an introduction
because they seem very apt to justify and describe my thesis
proposal.
The thesis proposal here is a place of learning located in Diu
holding the capacity of 1800 students.

“We shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us”
- Winston Churchill
The above mentioned quote by Martin Luther King Jr., stresses
on the important role which education in the lives of people.
This learning hub, a educational campus is a vehicle for
exploring and expressing my ideas about the role of structure
in architecture, and about an architect's realm of control in a
building project.

The quote by Norman Foster underlines the importance of an

Architect as a pioneer of the current generation and the ones
to come.

 PLACE OF LEARNING AT DIU RELATIONSHIP OF INTEGRATED STUDIES
Process
Also as India is second most populous country in the world and
the population is still increasing at a steady rate increasing the
quantity of quality educational institutes is of utmost
importance. A role of an architect is critical here as he has to
provide a place where learning would prosper and a building
which could facilitate the ever so curious young minds.
Master Plan
26 www.indianinstituteofarchitects.com JOURNAL OF THE INDIAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS
Site Study and Concept Development
Hence the need for quality education will also rise
substantially. A study of Diu revealed that there is no
educational institute present in the city state and the students
need to continually migrate to other cities for attaining
education. My proposal aims at building a education institute,
so the children can obtain proper learning hub in their own city
and so would stop them from leaving the comfort of their
home.
The typology of a educational institutes allows a good number
of functional requirements while, at the same time, allowing
for, a creative structural solution because the chosen site has a
quite evident set of contours.
A educational institute is first and foremost the staging ground
for students for masses of people. However, this utilitarian
perspective is limited and it belies the bigger implications of a
institute's effects on the students as well as visitor and on the

community it serves. The influence of a educational institute is
tremendous in its immediate surroundings, and, in some
cases, can be felt around the world.
My idea of the project is the platform for sharing concerns.
And it should also become a place or a destination in the city of
Diu. In the case of Diu, the sea is the strongest visual element
of nature.
Since the chosen site is near the sea, there is an opportunity to
connect people physically to the sea. The presence of sea side
creates a healthy environment for the users throughout the
year.
I have proposed some blocks as academic zone and some as
residential zone for the students and the faculties. After trying
a lot of options I finalized the best option in which i could

 PLACE OF LEARNING AT DIU RELATIONSHIP OF INTEGRATED STUDIES
satisfy the aims set down by me for the design of this institute.
As far as the movement within in the site, I have also tried to
create different pedestrian and vehicular movement for a
clear access throughout the site.
The main aim while designing was that all blocks should be
getting sea view and north light ( which is warm and constant
throughout the day). So all the services are placed below the
buildings so it doesn't block the view and light.
My other aim was to provide as many gathering places as I
could so as to promote the exchange ideas and increase the
social communication amongst the students as well as
faculties. The concept of street between academic and
residential blocks creates good hang out spaces and also
separate both the blocks in good way. Learning outside the
classroom helps with the overall development of the students.
Apart from learning sports plays an important role and so
Large open space has been provided with sports fields
encouraging student's physical well-being.
As far as the forms of the buildings are concerned I tried to play
with the space making elements in such a way as to create a
variety of informal volumes within the residential block,
enabling one to rest whereas the same elements created a
more formal learning environment for the academic blocks.
28 www.indianinstituteofarchitects.com JOURNAL OF THE INDIAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS
As Diu has a characteristically low skyline, the buildings
proposed by me are not more than 4-5 storey height overall.
The residential buildings for students have two sharing, three
sharing and four sharing rooms whereas the faculties have a
small residential unit. The academic building has admin block,
faculty room, classrooms, labs, canteen, audio visual rooms,
discussion rooms, amphitheater and a library as the main
programmatic elements.
As far as the feasibility of the proposal is concerned, I think
that by providing the proper multidisciplinary education
facilities under one campus will help to attract the local and
out states students, government staff, non government staff,
scholars, researchers, institutional partner for study at one
place with necessary infrastructure facilities and healthy
environment.
Overall, I was able to design a solution for institutional use
which provides a serene congenial, collaborative & healthy
environment which today, in my opinion - is missing in all
institutes.
It was very helpful in designing an institute by discussing and
implementing the inputs of my guide who is an experienced
practicing architect.

growth strategy, MICE (Meeting-Incentives-Convention-
Exhibition) events are the best option to strengthen the brand
value of the state as an international tourist destination also
creating employment and income. Some recent newspaper
reports on 'Biswa Bangla Convention Center' at Rajarhat's
Action Area II, by the Housing Infrastructure Development
Corporation (HIDCO), initiated the selection of this topic.
Based on this study the most important conclusions are as
follows :
1. Location on the major arterial road will be advantageous
to commute from any part of the city and it will be an
iconic convention point for South East Asia due to its
proximity to the Airport and Rail Stations.

Aim of the project was, to create a Landmark as a distinct but
harmonious element in its urban setting along with the visual
expression of the Bengali culture and to build a leading Global
Destination that contributes to the growth and vibrancy of the
city and province.
2. Porosity of soil provides good drainage and fertility which
is best suited for Landscaping development.
Maintenance will be easier due to the presence of the
Canal by the North-East side (Fig. 2).

Based on this Aim, the Objectives of the project are as follows :

1. To Promote &Preserve the Cultural Heritage of Bengal.
2. To create an Impression of the City on the visitors.
3. To build a centre, that will remain Relevant &
Competitive for many years.
4. To create Interactive Spaces.
5. To use Conventional construction Technology.

Accordingly the Scope was to design a Grand Theatre (3000

capacity), 2 Auditoriums (450 capacity), 1 Business Center,
Banquette, Cafeteria, Hotel Block with Club and other
requirements as per HIDCO and ICC (International Convention
Center) norm. However, for its vast extent the Hotel& Club
functions were excluded from this design scope.

Site Study :
The Site is located in New Town Kolkata (Fig. 1), a well-planned
fast growing metropolis, spread over thousands of acres, with
developed infrastructure facilities and road networks.

 400 BEDED GENERAL HOSPITAL AT BHOPAL

400 Beded General Hospital at Bhopal

Authority proposed the Project : “MAHARISHI MAHESH YOGI VEDIC SANSTHAN”, Bhojpur Road, Bangrasia, Bhopal.

Student Sandhya Jain - Email : ar.sandhyajain@gmail.com, sandhyajainandassociates@gmail.com

Sandhya Jain, obtained Associate Membership of the Indian Institute of Architect and Council of
Architects through IIA Examination in the year 2014. Presently she is working as a Consultant for
Various projects like Residences, Bunglows, Housings, Schools, Shopping & Commercial complex,
Hospitals, Hostel, Auditorium, Bank, Offices, Landscaping, Site Development and various valuation
projects of Central India.

PREAMBLE Translated into spatial facilities, these different activities may

be subdivided into three 'blocks':
The hospitals becoming more and more business oriented,
their goals and aims are also very high. The hospitals owned by A. patient-related facilities where the patients themselves
private groups want their hospital to be renowned and listed are/may be present;
on national and international standards. As a result, the
service and growth of hospitals is more of goal oriented much B. patient-related facilities where patients themselves are
like other businesses. To prove themselves as one of the best not present;
service providers, they have to be accredited.
C. general & technical support services.
DESIGN CRITERIA
THE CONSTRAINTS

conveniences, and comforts; a non-functional design can Hospitals are the most complex of building types. Each

functions, such as clinical laboratories, imaging, emergency
rooms, and surgery; hospitality functions, such as Catering
service and housekeeping; and the fundamental inpatient
care or bed-related function. This diversity is reflected in the
breadth and specificity of regulations, codes, and oversight
that govern hospital construction and operations. Each of the
wide-ranging and constantly evolving functions of a hospital,
including highly complicated mechanical, electrical, and
telecommunications systems, requires specialized knowledge
and expertise. No one person can reasonably have complete
knowledge, which is why specialized consultants play an
important role in hospital planning and design. The functional
units within the hospital can have competing needs and
priorities. Idealized scenarios and strongly-held individual
preferences must be balanced against mandatory
requirements, actual functional needs (internal traffic and
relationship to other departments), and the financial status of
the organization.
In addition to the wide range of services that must be
accommodated, hospitals must serve and support many
different users and stakeholders. Ideally, the design process
incorporates direct input from the owner and from key
hospital staff early on in the process. The designer also has to

be an advocate for the patients, visitors, support staff,
volunteers, and suppliers who do not generally have direct
input into the design. Good hospital design integrates
functional requirements with the human needs of its varied
users.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVE
The objective of the Clinical Services Strategy is 'better care,
closer to home'. To achieve there aim is to create Multi
speciality Hospitals that would undertake high-volume
scheduled services closer to home: outpatients, diagnostics
and day care surgery. The network will be supported by a
Critical Care Hospital which would undertake mostly
unscheduled care – lower volume, but with round the clock
availability.
The main Design theme is based on Energy saving building for
physical comfort according to climatic condition.
Our strategic aims in the three core business areas of clinical
services, research and teaching are shown below, along with
aims in key supporting areas. But in my Thesis project is only in
Hospital building.

THE SITE
The site- The site for proposed for 400 beded multi speciality
hospital Campus is about 6 km from Misrod Railway station, 12
km from Habibganj Railway station and about 3 km from
Bhojpur. It is Situated near by Many residential colonies on the
way of misrod towards Bhojpur road. It is to be designed on
approx. 4.95 acres of land.
THE THEME PLANNING & DESIGN APPROACH
The starting point of planning and designing of health facilities
should be ecology and humane considerations, for which
comprehensive check lists, parameters, standards and
programmes should be evolved. The urban form, linkages,
landscape, facilities, circulation, services, etc. should integrate
into a composite framework. The aspects of energy,
topography, climate comfort, water, sanitation, drainage, solid
waste management, pollution abatement and building
management deserve more attention.

Requirements & Interpretation
For micro-climate focus, not only the building technology and
materials, but the concepts of site planning, building design
and form may have to be re examined. At the design stage, the
environmental efficiency and climate compatibility of a
building are determined largely. The building should
incorporate flexible systems which respond to the changing
micro-climatic needs and varying conditions of natural
ventilation and light.
The design should obviate outdoor and indoor pollution. It
should provide for rooftop rainwater harvesting and recycling
of wastewater and exploitation of non-conventional sources
of energy (such as solar energy and photo-voltaic system). The
design of openings and glazing should allow flexibility.

2. Structural Consideration
The proposed Hospital Building complex has been built
altogether of reinforced cement concrete. The Internal
Corridors are basically forms a Linear shape, which
evaluate for a easy circulation. The planning of building is
completely done on 3.6m. Basic grid. Corridors almost
free from columns and any others obstructions. Building
is based on Grid Plan.
Corridors and Ramps - Within the building all spaces are
connected through Corridors and Ramp to make it barrier free
movement for Physically challenged people. The ramp for
Hospital Entrance is 1.5 m. wide and ramp for floor to floor
circulation is 3.00 m wide enough to give easy circulation &
having a slope of 1 in 10 for walking as well as for easy going of
handicapped person.
FUNCTIONAL & AESTHETICAL EVALUATION
The proposed hospital distributes the spaces in terms of their
functional divisions, like corridors, the attached IPD, OPD,
Emergency and Diagnostics spaces. Such a division is clearly
evident in the plan where a Segrigation of Departments.
Sunkan windows running at eye level & at place by skylight
