Productive Interface _ Spiretec Design Competition
Firm
A deep understanding and a rational interpretation of
sustainable development forms the core of the design approach. While the design
intervention is no doubt limited to the physical site, parameters that impact
the larger urban milieu and by extension larger ecosystems, are critically
evaluated and addressed so as to not only reduce the environmental impact of
the proposed development but more importantly, set new benchmarks in building
the future.
Sustainability as an approach underpins the design
intervention ? including the oft-ignored parameters such as the social and
cultural. A critical aspect of such an approach is the inclusion of resilience
- a cornerstone of responsible development. Resilience, understood in terms of
future demands and changes in land use, activities and lifestyle, is integral
to the way the built form and the attendant uses are conceptualized. The design
internalizes these issues by allowing flexibility within the built envelope,
while maintaining the overall integrity of the development.
The inception of the design is rooted in the larger
context of the site ? that of the region?s history of urbanization. To be truly
responsive to the cultural and climatic dynamics of the region, the
architectural intervention seeks to embed the qualities of the ground plane as
evident over two millennia of urban history within the contemporary context. This
is manifest as street patterns of the old settlement including courts, plazas,
gateways and nodes forming the fulcrum of the new city.
The resultant street and open space network frames
both the existing and proposed developments in both spatial and functional
terms. The structured and linear existing fabric is drawn out to flow
seamlessly into the more ?organic? and networked open space. The attempt to
recreate the ambience of the historic urban fabric results in a network of
streets and open spaces accommodating formal and informal activities and spaces
that can change daily or seasonally.
The multiuse program is situated in relation to this
very critical ground plane ? the bazaars of old come alive, defined by activity
rather than space. Lesser the direct interaction with terra firma, greater is the
vertical distance; hence the markets and dwelling units along with performance
and performative spaces sit closest to the earth. Activities with little
functional connect move higher ? IT, meetings & convention, hotel ? but are
still forced to acknowledge the ?outside? through large terraces that connect
these to the earth and the sky.
The built mass is designed and engineered as a
passive-hybrid system ? a high performance space in terms of natural resources
and energy, benchmarked with the most cutting edge installations globally. The
real differentiator is the non-built; all external spaces are equally designed
and engineered for climatic comfort year round.
The response to the adjacent flood plains is one of
loss and restitution; recognizing both the loss of the ecological services of
the flood plains and its temporal function as an agricultural palette, the
design acknowledges the need for restitution in the form of productive
landscapes that permeates the entire non-built spaces. The ground plane itself
reflects the memory of the agrarian past while each of the available vegetated
spaces is designed to compensate the loss of nutritive values of the landscape.
