  4. 4. COMMERCIAL HUB PROJECT OBJECTIVE: Commercial hub, next to a proposed metro, was to be designed to attract users, coming to metro and localities' and to make a metro station and its surroundings more lively and user- friendly.

MANTRI MALL AD ORION MALL: A study of context for any project is important and the building design should merge with the context that will increase its acceptance by users and localities‘ Mantri and Orion malls are commercial hubs close to a metro and is situated in one of the most dense areas of Bangalore. This made it easier to understand traffic movement, pedestrian movement, types of spaces that work best in such context etc. and all this helped in design development of the project. SITE ANALYSIS: Site was located in majestic which is the city centre for trade and business and an underground metro is proposed. Site is oriented E-W with SW-NE winds flowing through the site. Main access road was on west site of the road. The challenge was to control vehicular traffic and decide on entry and exit to the hub. Challenge in building design was to get in light to underground (-3 level) floors. BLOCKS ON SITE: •MAIN COMPLEX •MARKET SPACE •OUTDOOR CAFÉ •OPEN GALLERY AREA Primary material used is glass to incorporate maximum natural light A 5m wide skylight is given all around the main block to enable natural lighting for underground floors.

  5. 5. CLIMATE RESPONSIVE ARCHITECTURE CASESTUDY: CREATIVITY HOUSING, AUROVILLE PROJECT DETAILS: Creativity, a residential community, has been conceived as having housing units grouped into 6 clusters of 50-60 members each A central spine or pedestrian street runs through the site in a crescent shape serving all 6 clusters. This street is thus the main area of interaction and several community facilities spill over to it. Another pathway running perpendicular to it links the recreation area and the green corridor, and provides a quiet walkway and ambience. The different clusters enclose a courtyard space that is semi-public, yet protected from the larger community. The individual units are separated from the interaction zone through the buffer of buildings for common facilities Climatic comfort is being emphasized by using insulating roofing material, cross-ventilation and appropriate landscape design. Apart from single and family units of varying sizes, there will be provision for 4-5 groups of singles to share common kitchenettes, living rooms and bathroom facilities to encourage social interaction and community building. Facilities for the whole cluster, such as common kitchen, laundry, internet, office, gym, TV and video room, and common study areas will encourage further interaction and avoid duplication. COMMON SPACES IN A CLUSTER BUILDINGS BUILT USING LOW COST MATERIALS DUPLEX HOUSE COMMON COMMUNITY SPACE Clusters included housing for all income groups and had common interactive space for all. Duplex houses also were built at a low cost and was affordable to all.
