Vehicular movement Outer loop Inner loop • Segregation of vehicular movement and pedestrian movement. • Avoiding vehicular movement helps to maintain the landscape and micro climate • The inner loop connects all the activities and amenities whereas the outer one connects the different towers. • Vehicular movement on the periphery of the site ensures the safety of the users • All the activities confined to the central space created by the placement of blocks , thus making them easily accessible • The pedestrian movement is confined to the interior enclosure • The open spaces are shaded throughout the day due to the high rise structures surrounding them .Therefore, they can be used at any given time of the day • Artistically designed landscape areas attract more people • Spacious gardens, well designed walkways, separate play areas for children of different age groups, and creative utilization of stilt areas in all the towers 14 www.chintels.org.in
- 15. There are 3 main conceptual gardens in the central area , called as “the trinity gardens”: 1. The garden of harmony 2. The garden of repose 3. The garden of tranquillity • Each garden is complete in itself and houses various facilities for its residents like specific areas for jogging , quiet places for yoga , play areas for kids and corners for pet parks • Another unique feature is the bamboo court • Bamboo groves are planted in the basement with ample space to grow above the ground level through the cut out sky windows thereby allowing natural light in the basement Garden of harmony Garden of repose Garden of tranquillity www.chintels.org.in 15

LARGE BALCONIES 2 UNITS ON A FLOOR OPEN ON 3 SIDES CROSS VENTILATION • All the units facing the central open space • Provision of large balconies on 3 sides of every single unit enable the residents to create their own interactive environment within their dwelling • Two units on each floor plate however reduce the social interaction on each floor as higher the units on a floor, higher will be the rate of interaction between the users • Proper cross ventilation within the unit ensures that no space is a dead space as it can be used in one way or the other www.chintels.org.in Primary source 17

- 31. OVERVIEWOVERVIEW • ARCHITECT: LE CORBUSIER • LOCATION: MARSEILLES, FRANCE • BUILDING TYPE: MULTIFAMILY HOUSING • CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM: CONCRETE • STYLE: MODERN • DATE: 1945-52 • 18 STORIES • 337 APARTMENTS • FOR 1,600 PEOPLE • STILL IN SERVICE 31 “A machine for living in.” -Le Corbusier Google.com Google.com 309/30/16
- 32. Le Corbusier’s idea of the “vertical garden city” was based on bringing the villa within a larger volume that allowed for the inhabitants to have their own private spaces, but outside of that private sector they would shop, eat, exercise, and gather together. VERTICAL GARDEN CITYVERTICAL GARDEN CITY Google.com
- 33. PURPOSEPURPOSE • IT WAS BUILT TOALLEVIATE A SEVERE POSTWAR HOUSING SHORTAGE. • INSPIRED BY SOCIALIST IDEALS. • LE CORBUSIER CHOSE THE OCEAN LINER, WHICH HOUSED, FED, AND ENTERTAINED THOUSANDS OF PASSENGERS IN A VERY RESTRICTED SPACE TO HELP HIM CREATE UNITE D’HABITATION. • HIS GOAL WAS A TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, ENHANCED WITH ALL THE AMENITIES OF CIVILIZATION, SO ONE WOULD NEVER NEED TO LEAVE. Google.com Google.com Google.com 33
- 34. • WITH NEARLY 1,600 RESIDENTS DIVIDED AMONG EIGHTEEN FLOORS, THE DESIGN REQUIRES AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TOWARD SPATIAL ORGANIZATION TO ACCOMMODATE THE LIVING SPACES, AS WELLAS THEPUBLIC, COMMUNAL SPACES. • INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMUNAL ASPECTS DO NOT OCCUR WITHIN THE BUILDING; RATHER THEYARE PLACED ON THE ROOF.
- 35. • THE ROOF BECOMES A GARDEN TERRACE THAT HAS A RUNNING TRACK, A CLUB, A KINDERGARTEN, AGYM, ANDA SHALLOW POOL. • BESIDE THE ROOF, THERE ARE SHOPS, MEDICAL FACILITIES, AND EVEN A SMALL HOTEL DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THEINTERIOROF THEBUILDING. • THE UNITE D’HABITATION IS ESSENTIALLY A “CITY WITHIN A CITY” THAT IS SPATIALLY, AS WELL AS, FUNCTIONALLYOPTIMIZEDFORTHERESIDENTS Google.com

INFERENCE FROM THE SURVEYINFERENCE FROM THE SURVEY • DUE TO THE PERIPHERAL VEHICULAR ROAD AND WALKWAYS IN THE INTERIORS OF THE SITE, OLD PEOPLE FIND IT EASIER TO WALK AROUND PEACEFULLY. • MAJORITY OF THE RESIDENTS ARE WORKING CLASS AND THEREFORE THEY RARELY USE THE SOCIAL INTERACTIVE SPACES. THEY USE IT MORE ON THE WEEKENDS • THE SEPARATION OF SWIMMING POOLS IS AN ADVANTAGE FOR BOTH KIDS AND ELDERS. THEY INTERACT WITH THEIR AGE GROUPS SEPARATELY AND THERE IS A SENSE OF SECURITY FOR KIDS IN THE KIDS POOL. • THE COMMUNITY CENTER ACTS AS THE MAIN HUB WHICH IS GENERALLY USED IN EVENING AND NIGHT TIME. • THERE IS NO SHOPPING COMPLEX WITHIN THE SITE OR NEARBY, WHICH IS A DISADVANTAGE.

- 66. WHATIS AN INTERACTIVE SPACEACCORDING TO YOU FOR AHIGH RISE RESIDENTIALCOMPLEX? • INTERACTIVE SPACE IS NOT SO MUCH ON THE SPACE ITSELF, BUT RATHER ON WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE THESE SPACES, ABOUT OUR ATTITUDES. • PUBLIC SPACE ONLY COMES INTO BEING IF WE CHOOSE TO BEHAVE IN A PARTICULAR WAY, IF WE CHOOSE TO BE ‘PUBLIC MEN’SO TO SPEAK, WHICH MEANS THAT WE SHOULD NOT RETRACT INTO OUR OWN SOCIAL GROUPINGS BUT HAVE TO OPEN UP TO THE OTHERS WITH WHOM WE SHARE THE COMPLEX. • USERS ARE RELATIVELY PASSIVELY CONSTRAINED BY THE SPATIAL DESIGN OF PUBLIC SPACE THAT WE ARCHITECTS HAVE DEEMED RIGHT FOR THEM. • IN ORDER TO DEFINE AN INTERACTIVE SPACE YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON THE VARIOUS TIME PERIODS IN WHICH ACTIVITIES TAKE PLACE. 66
- 67. WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERACTIVE SPACES THESE DAYS? THESE SPACES PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS TO ENGAGE IN HIGH-LEVEL SOCIAL INTERACTION. IN LARGE APARTMENT BUILDINGS, INDIVIDUALS SOCIALIZE IN COMMON OUTDOOR SPACES TO INCREASE RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES OUTSIDE THE HOME. FACTORS TO BE KEPT IN MIND WHILE DESIGNING - THE SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A NEIGHBOURHOOD AFFECT HOW NEIGHBOURS INTERACT WITH OTHERS, AND HOW THEY USE SHARED OUTDOOR SPACES. FACTORS SUCH AS • RESPONDENTS' STAGE IN THE LIFE CYCLE (INCLUDINGAGE, MARITAL STATUS, AND PRESENCE OF CHILDREN AT HOME) • OWNER-RENTER STATUS • LENGTH OF RESIDENCE • EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT • ANNUAL INCOME 67
- 69. WHAT ARE INTERACTIVE SPACES IN A HIGH RISE RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX? INTERACTIVE SPACES ARE DIVIDED INTO THREE CATEGORIES : 1. PUBLIC ( SWIMMING POOL, PLAYGROUND, KIDS PLAY AREA, SPORTS AREA) 2. SEMI PUBLIC (CLUB HOUSE, GYM, AMPHITHEATRE, FOOD COURT, JOGGING AREA, PARKING SPACE) 3. PRIVATE ( TERRACE GARDENS, BALCONIES, SUN DECK ETC.) 69

- 72. HOW CAN THE HIERARCHY OF INTERACTIVE SPACES BE CREATED IN A HIGH RISE RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX? ON THE BASIS OF CASE, LITERATURESTUDIES ANDAN INTERVIEW OF AN ARCHITECT,THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONSARE DRAWN: 1. SEGREGATION OF VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT 2. A BALANCEDRATIO SHOULD BE MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE OPEN SPACES AND THE BUILT UPAREA. 3. PLACEMENT OF THEBUILDINGS SO AS TO CREATE HIERARCHY OF DIFFERENT INTERACTIVE SPACES. 4. SEGREGATION OF SPACES ACCORDING TO AGE GROUPAND GENDER. FOR EXAMPLE, SWIMMING POOL SHOULD BE SEPARATE FORKIDS AND ELDERS FORSECURITY OF KIDS ANDALSO TO CREATE GOOD INTERACTION. 72
- 73. HOW CAN THE HIERARCHY OF INTERACTIVE SPACES BE CREATED IN A HIGH RISE RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX? HIERARCHY CAN BE ACHIEVED BY THE FOLLOWING METHODS: 1. BY CREATING DIFFERENT LEVELS ON GROUND. THIS ALSO HELPS IN THE SEGREGATION OF DIFFERENT INTERACTIVE SPACES. 2. BY CREATING AN ELEMENT OF SURPRISE HELPS TO CREATE HIERARCHY OF INTERACTIVE SPACES. 3. IN THE VERTICAL PLANE : BY CREATING INTERACTIVE SPACES ON DIFFERENT LEVELS. FOR EXAMPLE: SKY BRIDGES. 73
- 74. WHAT IS THE LIFESTYLE OF DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS IN A HIGH RISE BUILDING AND HOW IS IT AFFECTED BY INTERACTIVE SPACES? 1. PEOPLE BELONG TO DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS, SOCIALAND CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS, RESULTING IN DIFFERENT LIFESTYLES. 2. THE INCREASE IN PENETRATION OF TECHNOLOGY HAS LEAD TO SHORTAGE OF SOCIAL INTERACTION AMONGST PEOPLE . IN A HOUSEHOLD AS WELL AS WITHIN A COMMUNITY. 3. PROMOTION OF SOCIAL INTERACTION ENCOURAGES A SENSE OF COMMUNITY, BINDING THE PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT CULTURES AND AGE GROUPS TOGETHER FOR THEIR SOCIAL UPLIFTMENT. 74
- 75. WHAT IS THE LIFESTYLE OF DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS IN A HIGH RISE BUILDING AND HOW IS IT AFFECTED BY INTERACTIVE SPACES? 4. THE REQUIREMENTS OF EACH GROUP SHOULD BE KEPT IN MIND. 5. SOCIAL INTERACTION IN VARIOUS UNITS : 1. STUDIO APARTMENTS : MORE REQUIREMENT OF SOCIAL INTERACTION 2. PHYSICAL UNITS : WHICH CONSIST OF MOSTLY 4-5 OCCUPANTS - NEED LESSER INTERACTIVE SPACES AS COMPARED TO THE STUDIO APARTMENTS. 3. RESIDENTIAL UNITS : CONSIST OF 6-8 OCCUPANTS - MORE INTERACTION AMONGST THE RESIDENTS 75
- 76. WHAT MEASURES SHOULD BE KEPT IN MIND WHILE PROVIDING INTERACTIVE SPACES IN A RESIDENTIAL HIGH RISE? DESIGN GUIDELINESDESIGN GUIDELINES : small open spaces : minimize the conflict : different spaces : continuity of spaces : overlapping of vertical and horizontal interaction 1. SIZE : A variety small open spaces between buildings is more desirable for promoting interaction rather than the large spaces that create excessive distances between buildings and a disconnected campus 2. CIRCULATION PATTERN : should also be such as to minimize the conflict between pedestrians and vehicular traffic. 3. VOLUME : Instead of single volume, the building units should consist of different spaces for different functions, surroundedaroundthe courtyard 4. SPACES: There should be a continuity of spaces where people can meet and exchange ideas and experiences 5. CONTINUATION: There should be an overlapping of vertical and horizontal interaction spaces of the building creating a fluidity and connectivity. Primary source Primary source Minimize the conflictMinimize the conflict between pedestrians and vehicular climate responsive. The landscaping should provide optimum shade and light to the users. 76
