Dear Fellow Architects, Members and Readers,

As our Institute continues its journey in to its second century we are pleased to present a set
of articles and papers on a varied group of subjects for our readers.

Prof. Archana Bhattacharya presents a paper for a revenue generating proposal for utilising
Mumbai's coast line based on her extensive study titled Income Generating Proposal for
Future Development of Coastline of Mumbai.

Student B. Sivakumar have presented a case study of an Eco-Friendly Resort at a coastal


village of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu. This article outlines the project's design concept
which is based on a complex relationship between human beings and honey bees,
translated into a real project.

Student Dipika Parekh present their paper on a Place of Learning they have designed for
coastal site at Diu, with an emphasis on making its proximity to seashore as the integrating
element to facilitate learning process.

Student Sonali Das Chowdhary projected a large Convention Centre Complex at New Town
Kolkata which is designed with a focus on using conventional construction technology to
create interactive spaces in the Convention Centre.

Finally Student Sandhya Jain has presented a design for a 400 Bedded General Hospital at
Bhopal, which is designed with a view to conserve energy and being sensitive to the
patients using the facility and being eco friendly in its planning.

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.

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

ECO-FRIENDLY RESORT, PATTIPURAM VILLAGE, DIST. KANCHIPURAM, TAMIL NADU

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.
