PURAN KUMAR STUDIO PKA THE ESTATE HIGHLIGHTS THE NEED FOR ADAPTIVE REUSE AND URBAN REGENERATION IN OUR CITIES TODAY FOAID 2020

Project Name : The Estate Ballard Estate has been an iconic example of a planned commercial district in an otherwise organically growing city of Location : Ballard Estate, Mumbai Mumbai. The British wanted this place to resemble Victorian London with the luxury of a tropical climate. Mumbai’s Site Area : 88,000 sq.m. history offers many heritage structures and historical precincts. South Bombay, namely, is home to a lot of the finest Design Team : Puran Kumar buildings, especially in the Fort precinct, which was the core of the city during its colonial rule. Tall Edwardian buildings along tree-lined streets are reminiscent of the era they were built in. This precinct has a uniform architectural style with identical elements of design. Post the British rule, new developments lacked the grandeur and identity of these historic buildings. They were taken for granted and started evolving as an unkempt asset of the city. Ballard Estate is a precinct that underwent a lot of monumental changes over the course of its time. There were modifications in its planning as much as its architectural development. Noel Woodward Over time, floor additions were made to multiple buildings. The precinct earlier lined only 44 heritage buildings Aishwarya Dharmarajan designed by the architect. Post-independence, however, it extended to residential and commercial buildings towards Photo Credit : Niveditaa Gupta the west. The former Ballard Pier Mole Station that belonged to the Mumbai Port Trust Railway functioned as an important arrival and departure point for several Britishers arriving from England. The gatehouse has now been developed into a museum, and it is a treasure trove of photographs about Bombay, its port, the railways and the people of the city. The currently existing fortified walls lining the periphery broke the connection of the waterfront with the site. The existing precinct demarcation considers the heritage buildings of Ballard Estate as well as some of the residential and mixed-use buildings to the west of R Kamani Marg. Pre- independence, the extents of Ballard Estate only consisted of the 44 heritage buildings that were designed by George Wittet. They have a similar method of construction and a uniform architectural style. Hence, the area to be considered for the project’s design process has been restricted to all buildings from the east up to the first row of buildings adjoining R.Kamani Road. This has been undertaken to club the areas that have similar characteristics in terms of spatial quality, building usage, and architectural identity. Pockets of open spaces created in the planning of the building’s construction were envisioned by the architect to be public spaces in the future. Today, these are treated as residual spaces and used as dumping grounds due to negligence. One of the drawbacks of Ballard Estate in its current condition is the management of these open spaces. They have the potential to be redesigned as functional public pockets that could enhance this commercial district. It is important to study the site in detail to filter its potential enhancements by highlighting emerging issues that condemn the spatial quality and disrespect the ambience of a heritage conservation site. The intention of this study is to bring awareness to a critical site like Ballard Estate, in the Fort Area because it has the opportunity of invoking a structured public approach to a commercial site. This can be done at both levels, the macro level with the overall planning and development, as well as the micro level by magnifying the minute details such as provision of street elements that complement the architectural style of the heritage buildings.

ROHIT SURAJ URBAN ZEN A DESIGN THAT CRADLED THE LANDSCAPE WITHIN A PRISTINE BUILT ENVIRONMENT FOAID 2020

Project Name : Dancing with Nature Dancing with Nature is a special project, both in terms of its brief and in terms of its Location : Hyderabad final design. With this particular project, Urban Zen had to deliver to a client with years Site Area : 946 sq. meter of property development experience and one whose family had already experienced Project Area : 12,500 sq ft working with several well-known architectural firms. The task then to impress upon Initiation of the Project : 2017 them and deliver a compelling design became all the more challenging. Completion of the Project : 2019 Photo Credit : Monika Sathe In seeking inspiration, we found that the lay of the land screams for a certain justification that can’t be ignored. The gently sloping contours, the opening on two sides to the access roads and the general calm in the surroundings demanded a structure that was in touch with nature whilst drawing attention to itself. The answer lay in a design that ‘cradled’ the landscape within a pristine built environment. Organic architecture embraces the key words ‘unified’ and ‘interrelated’ specifically in its composition and as the first step we created the ‘cradle.’ Seeking inspiration from ‘dancers’ in an intimate embrace we started by developing the union between ‘building’ and ‘surroundings’ within the plan. By organizing the landscape in accordance with the aesthetic principles of ‘artistic vanguard’ especially ‘cubism,’ ‘modernism’ and ‘abstractionism’ we created a new and modern grammar with the structure. 191
