NANDED HOUSING STUDIO; SEM II
The studio was a collaborative
exercise between resident communities and KRVIA. The RESULT was seen as a
process of interaction between these slum dwellers and the Nanded Municipal
Corporation. Thus at various stages in the studio there was planned to have
interaction between these agencies.
The first part of the project
methodology was entail going to site, documenting the slum and then analysed
the data collected. The urban design studio assisted in the first part of
the study and helped in formulating the various aspects on which data were
collected. The next stage of the studio was where the students organized
and analyzed the data using the digital media to document and generate
patterns. The final objective for this studio was to create a public
interface like a website where the material can be published.
The next stage, primarily in urban
design was to simulate scenarios for intervention in these slums through
the study of the patterns generated from the first part of the study. This
stage led to the creation of the Urban Design scenarios. These
scenarios was given spatial and formal manifestation in the studio. Also
various processes of intervention right from a conservative incremental
approach to a complete redevelopment of site was formulated as a part of this
studio. Simultaneously the students were introduced to other case studies
in similar such conditions.
The students then created
ideas for the master plan, as well as various possibilities for the dwelling
unit and transformation on them if required. These ideas and processes were explored through the digital media, drawings and models.
