 Okay, welcome back everyone. I'm Aditi. I'll be taking you to through today afternoon So our next presentation will be by Teja Sweeney and Induja and I'll hand over to them No, I think we don't need that We will use the mouse Yeah, you have options Good afternoon everybody Well, how do I go next? Yeah? So it was very interesting this morning To see so many similarities that you would again see in our presentation So don't get bored, please. I know it's after lunch, but yeah It's interesting to see that try to keep you awake. Yeah, the weaving has happened So to start with what what we are Looking at is some guiding principles that would that is actually Weaved into our proposal So we looked at different documents which were provided also of course there are our own inspirations and our own ideas that are in place So so yeah vision Vision echoes So so yeah when we talk about vision, it's actually about content and character So it's not the content and character only off the road on the crown But also all those projects that would come up Should carry content and character of the crown Social connectivity is this is something that we took it from Roger sketch Which Marie had helped us translating 1990 sketches one of them talks about For each zone the crown should be a meeting and circulation Place for the Orwellians and he further actually details out in his that little sketch that the required spaces that crown should contain are for conviviality which is restaurants and meeting rooms and multi-purpose rooms, etc for relaxations for public services like distribution centers and laundry's and Post offices and all that health Health under health. He talks about the health center emergencies and all the reception He's talking about the guest houses and information hostels and all the beauty of course and There he's talking about the spaces of performances and and gardens and Exhibition spaces so we tried to take those when we are doing a place making along the crown What a connectivity is one of the core that we are looking at seeing how the water flows along the crown and Try to connect them through different spaces Movement we are looking at as unifying passing space and we are we all through our explorations We have given a priority to pedestrians and mostly non-motorized vehicle traffic Positive urban spaces Again the spaces that we should create along the crown should be more coherent more well-defined and and Try and see how it can be it can be porous and and the spaces can flow in and out Many of us have done that in our proposals, but we kind of Specifying that so that we see our explorations through that lens piecemeal growth is is Anyway there for Orville and and we don't see that going the kind of growth rate that we have But if we could make pieces piecemeal growth as a precondition to the larger hole Then we are playing safe because then the larger holes are there All through Green-blue infrastructure is so this is what we are primarily looking at a ridge we all know by now a sheet flow and the gully flows Canyon flows channelize channelized flows and So looking at these water flows We are trying to propose some kind of an integrated urban water management by doing catchment Along these so we have taken if you see all these larger things are actually the porous points Which are already existing so we are enlarging them and these water bodies could become I mean the purpose could be reused or could be recharged We could always have where there is a denser area. I mean right now whatever development is done here The the water bodies that could come along could be the water could be reused while at other places The water could be recharged so it's a mix of different things depending on How the development is is Is proposed We are looking at these water channels more as a width of one to 1.5 meters Maximum two meters That again depends on I mean the water flow But we whatever we saw is it is not exceeding to by two meters so You see the greens along these water channels that we have these are the riparian buffers and that Is anything between one to five meters again depending on the type of soil there that the the riparian buffer could Change but the development could take that into account and actually these spaces then can become soft lens landscaping elements along the crown and Again, I mean here we tried to do a little effort where of course that has to come in our next Explorations that the water bodies the way we design could integrate the geometry of galaxy these are just few pictures of dry Greeks and creeks and Wet creeks and the way right now these water bodies when they are full how we are using right now I mean this is this is our social fabric and it's interesting that we carry that social fabric Usually we see is what we see outside is integrated water management But now it's an urban management, which is a very much of a not fully researched and you know It's not a fully defined concept yet. All the cities are trying to You know experiment on their own and you know try to see even the width of the channels and riparian buffers everything is still in most of a research area and Especially that's why that's why it fits into all will very much and this is a place where we could experiment then and Experiment it and show to the world this works for us. So why not you try in your place? So that's a beautiful opportunity for us around water here and coming to proposed movement As she mentioned our priority order of movement is non motorized traffic on the ground and then to accommodate also a light traffic which is Needed and also heavy load traffic refers to the trucks that we should be using for the construction work service related emergency and all that and What we are saying is also again five to seven years of immediate implementation is what we are looking at our In a way mobility works for a little more longer But the development and everything we are still focusing on five to seven years is what surely and then Crown in relation. So crown. We are not seeing it in isolation It's very hard to see it has come out come across in all the presentations that we saw in the morning So we are seeing definitely in relation with all the outside influences internal needs and all that and then Significant ground existing ground realities like water and you know all those things are very much the base of our Exploration and crown looking at crown as a continuous experience more than any other physical Like a road or like anything else. It's a continuous experience. That's what we are wanting to highlight and if we see So we would start with the this area Which is here is where the solar kitchen is So from here Still here Which is the visitor center to this office the the Matrimandir gate road and this whole stretch is in Compassing the three sector three four and five of the residential zone and what we are proposing there at the at the moment We have a parallel road, which is about only three hundred meters away Which is serving the motorized traffic perfectly and it's a kind of non Negotiable for us for next five to seven years at least. So what we are saying is we are only proposing cycle path along this area the whole of this area and Continue using this motorized vehicle then and create more, you know if if required This is what is serving the whole area now and if required This can be increased as the development comes along and keep this cycle path the this crown stretch and then when we Go here in front of unity pavilion Till this road this is language lab and here we have this Kotakarai road Which is coming and passing through this Perumbukh land So we also again what what we are doing is making this area motorized Because again this road needs connection and if we somehow make this motorized People are discouraged somehow to use this road Which is not in a very good riding condition, but use this and you know and and this area gets a little you know the traffic goes away and from here This is the stretch of Darkali forest So here we are again coming to the similar moment of only cycle paths through that So here what we have it was very interesting to see that Fabian's proposal has a little bypass Which from Kali temple road, which we would we would like to consider in the next stage of our proposal So it can still serve the motorized needs for the motorized traffic and this path is kept very Serious in its in the way. It is only through a cycle path and then from here This is the stretch where we have we don't own it's all non-orville lands here mostly and This stretch is again motorized which is Essential at the moment for serving the Internet industrial zones traffic. So when we have this Road connecting from outside the axis and then we have this This is already done and we can you know this to have the interlink of the industrial zone This road could serve that purpose and this is already the paved stretch We continue the motorized traffic over there and here is the bliss and again we It makes more sense because it's serving all the schools this road the school buses and then a lot of traffic Outgoing incoming from which is not not essentially or wheels can also still continue using that as a road, but on the crown we continue again the cycle and pedestrian path and here This is Last school. This is somewhere roughly last school is and from here what we are saying is if you observe that here is our Gaia Field and what we now do to go to Gaia field is we ride until that field and we park of vehicles there and It's just another little extension if we could do and the key is that there is a private land here So we which means we have to buy that private land in order to make this the whole idea of doing is this is Again the goes to the relates to the priority of having non motorized traffic on the crown and not Repeating the live example which we have right next to it Which we are trying hard to reverse the process where we have allowed it and we are not able to get back soon on that You know motorizing so so let's not start with that is what is the idea. So this is a little bypass We are proposing and continue the traffic. I mean cycle paths and everything along here Has a nice different experience and then here which is our You know the stretch that we are experiencing every day and people especially on the crown We kind of propose a timely movement like we have the live example of prominent It closes the traffic the motorized traffic closes after six in the evening and opens only after six in the morning So that is the time when the residents the people living over there We come together. It's a place that becomes active and everything We don't need to find parks and we don't need to find playgrounds and you know spaces to hang out outside But we do it right right in front of us We we are we are connected to that place and we don't need to go away to find entertainment So so that's the idea of doing that and we are proposing in order to do that. We need to Practically we need to have some parking spaces which would help us You know park here and then take a walk and all so this radial which is because radial Can do that and we can propose some stop point here and then a parking space for a vehicular You know hopping from vehicle to walking so this connection which is exact existing can serve the purpose of you know people needing to bypass instead of going on the crown and And yeah, and and for the people over here I forgot to mention the parking spaces for the residents and Kalabumi and Kripa can move outside and the it's kind of the entry is from outside So we come and then crown is like a surprise. So that's the kind of experience that comes in and Yes Okay, I'll go very Okay, I'll go very quickly. This is an exploration of having a public transport and if you see here we are Proposing some drop points and from here the unity pavilion the bus route starts But sorry, it can be a small shuttle Actually, yeah electric shuttle and it goes and you know takes people and and every day we have Shuttles basically we start with two and then we as we go on we increase in population we can increase the frequency of these shuttles and this this pink line shows the walking radius from the drop points and Green line shows the cycling radius in five minutes This is where we could cover pretty much all the city on cycles and we are proposing cycle cycle Full of cycles in each drop point so that I'm coming through a shuttle and then I can take a cycle finish my work in Wherever I want to go and then come back and and then whenever the shuttle again comes I get back Okay, we'll try to be quick, but I don't think I mean we are really not even halfway through I don't know So place making is another thing that we tried to do along the crown Here the the approach that we have taken is of course We have referred to master plan as one of the because master plan has a zoning regulations given so we've taken that as one of the guideline documents We have considered the the blue-green Infrastructure that you saw in our previous slides We have taken that as one of the primary thing to do the place making around it Like before we said we are looking at right now We're looking at only five to seven years as a implementation plan and not really going a lot more than five to seven And of course looking at the respond. We are responding to the current needs that that are emerging out of our dialogues That our living here and our experiences so Yeah, the first stretch which is sector three four five in residential zone. It also has Mahalakshmi Park here Maheshwari Park here So what we are talking about here is mainly as We all know sector one and two is being our priority of development for housing if in next five to seven We need to or even if not we need to have some housing We could have a mixed housing along here because we do have this as one of the Primary roads that is catering to these places. So we could have mixed dwelling units We could have guest houses because right now we have a guest houses and we could have Pool of guest houses there and could I mean it kind of Fits in very well if you look at the master plan zoning and how roger has also envisioned the The crown best houses kind of things fit in pretty well Yeah, and places like Though here it says retail stores. I don't think we like to use that word But something like distribution centers, which we already have could also be Housing in this area. This is the junction which is visitor center and matrimandir Crossing so here we could have arcades like shopping arcades could have again, this is from master plan So I'm just reading through cafes could have banking and financial services there to the other thing I don't know if you mentioned but we are talking of this a Pedestrian to be not not on the other side like this from here We are kind of doing stopping with a barrier that people from here They don't walk in this side only the tourists only the tourists. Yeah The next stretch which is Which is unity pavilion and Savitri Bhavan area. So you see a little meandering here. That's because we want to give an importance to Archaeological site which is existing there and archaeological projects are also part of master plan We we feel current need and also as part of master plan Zoning regulation hostels could fit in very well there So this is from master plan This is a megalithic burial ground map that we have we found and Basically when when there was a ht line laid in 2014 in that area, I think Auradam to Centrifil that that area or that MMVC road in that area when it was laid About one meter trenches were made and there were some artifacts which were found in that in that area in the in the digging Soil they found quite a lot of stuff there. So we feel that it is it is important that we are sensitive towards this This is going through the Akali so it's very interesting the Akali right now is I think Well, I think Ganesh mentioned or somebody mentioned already that that three three scenarios happening here one is International zone then it is Maharaswati Park and then it is industrial zone. So The zoning could also happen. I mean the place making could also happen little bit according to that So what we are looking at is keeping most of it as green pub, but could have Could have in nature interpretation centers urban parks largely and The area where there is industrial zone We could even have some kind of income-generating activities for the forest itself so that they become self-sustenable in their own functioning so So yeah, what you see here is what Gopal is where Gopal and we all are standing here for our this was from the morning walk This is the fourth catchment, which is actually the lowest point It's very important to know that this is the lowest point on the ground and hence more of a reason to really protect it and Be sensitive towards it What we saw on our while we were walking there is few red sandals Which are the botanical name is a bit difficult to pronounce, but I'll try Tero Carpus Santal in this I think Yeah So there are few of them on that stretch and and that's one of the endangered species and It will be nice that we we save them we protect them we have them and also it's not legal it seems to By law, it's not legal to cut them So why not have parks and it's right now They have these spaces which are park like already. So why not create more of these along that? Yeah This is non-Auroville land Actually a lot of it is Michael Bonkel and so this stretch is already paved and we could pave Rest of it. It's a lot. It's cleared already. So again, what we are talking of is having services and and and activities here which are more catering to the industrial zone right now such as Retail stores or have offices which are have hardware stores, which would kind of support the stationeries and and stuff like that to the offices which are in this area have conference halls so that people can have Common conference hall and not build their own conference halls each time in their own campuses have city management offices or have courier service have poster service these kind of things which are day-to-day needed for for offices to run The next is Youth bliss area. So here like we said before we are We are doing this crown, but then have more as pedestrian and and cycle Cycles mostly. So what we could do around this is actually and this is this is in Mahakali Park almost all of it so bring back some green there and Have a youth plaza is what we are Talking about and we saw some proposals that also Fabian showed which were made by youth And that that could be very easily incorporated here So have cafes have social landscape spaces. They could have the fairs. We could I mean we could have our fair youth fair there Multi-purpose carts games rooms performance areas, etc. So this is again from our work and Even though it is cleared we could still do things around it have little landscape spaces and cafes I mean if we don't pull this down and Convert it into a cafe like that So, yeah The next stretch is through cultural zone mostly and a bit of it is in Mahalakshmi Park. So here what we are talking about is Right now the way residence assembly is so active our community is so active We should there is a need of having spaces to meet they're very limited spaces. So we could have such spaces there we could have Again cafes and am I back to the Okay, the other thing is this is because of the cultural zone and Education in our will is not just the mainstream education But there are also learning is happening also through so many other alternative ways that we could create spaces for those learnings also few more minutes and Then the residential zone. So here Here mostly the space the the activities which the buildings projects that we have which is health services or Mahalakshmi home they could have Expansions we could also have like in the job before said that it's good to have evening life on this stretch So we could bring back some kind of food cart some kind of chaos that we can have Recreation around this stretch in the evenings and here we try to attempt to the sections like to stick to 16.7 but in our own flexible way Yeah, so we are basically trying to see how the 16.7 can be reimagined in different stretches We have attempted some some in different stretches. This is the Residential zone sector 3 4 and 5 which I talked about starting from solar kitchen So what we mentioned was to have a cycle path, which is only about 2.5 meters Which is the building reserve area in that sense the infrastructure area which is according to the TDC section So it can still go under that and this can remain the cycle path and there is water Which is flowing under there are culverts the idea to raise it is to allow the water to pass through in various Bays like through culverts and other different Bays and this whole area which is and then there is another building reserve, which is three point I mean the infrastructure corridor, which is 3.1. It can still Have covered spaces and extended Colonies and all these things which are bio climatically also helping the buildings and this area Is just not developed at the moment. It's kept and it's used in a different way It's organized in a different way way that it serves the residential I mean as a support for the residential use and Yeah, that's that's what we are imagining here in that whole stretch So one thing is at places where we know that water is flowing under We could do the deep trenching at those places for for the infrastructure. Also, we are not very Very clear about when we talk about the infrastructure We we also at times looking at for example water distribution has also a decentralized Water system, so we do not know how much Such large Building reserves are required. So we did it with that limited Knowledge that we will when we look at all other All other distributions all other infrastructures and not only the the ht line, which is already going I think through this area So looking at once we have all those plants then I think it is more clear What kind of building reserves are required for infrastructure? Yeah in some places? It could be only one corridor instead of two. So we are not technically that You know, we don't know the know-how so that's why we are still sticking to this and here you see this There can be barriers which which still you know This is the road which is connecting from the other parallel road and people can still cross the crown But not go through the crown. So in that area So from Savitri Bhavan to language lab, so this is a this is in plan So this is the archaeological site where the cycle path and the experience of crown is still continuing But just the road is taking a meandering path and then the loop road in future can connect to the Road and all that can happen and then all the buildings coming around it can can take form to merge with the crown and Yeah, so here also we are keeping the building reserve Which is 2.5 meters and then the motorized road which is we refer to the 3.7 that is existing 3.7 3.8 That is existing and then this is the whole combined pedestrian zone We can this is where we can actually put in all our Energy to create different urban spaces. So this is this is where is that is that and Okay, and then this is dark alleys stretch where we are proposing again only the cycle path and with with not Disturbing the forest much and under under the so we interestingly saw this photo Which is like there is a waterway and the infrastructure is still undisturbed and going and there is a movement also possible So there are there is much possible with the way The place is without disturbing it That's an important thing and the water catchments can be enlarged and you know We can have more catchment here because we are placed rightly on the ridge. There's a lot more scope for us to do the water management and This is the industrial zone stretch where the most of Michael Bonke's land is and here as we again here the 16.7 is a little reorganized and then the road motorized road here Goes and this is the space where all these cafes the kiosk for drinking water and although all those things can come And this is the next stretch, which is the YC. So this has given up I mean in a sense if we see positively the clearing it has given a space for us to reorganize it differently and So what we are saying is it's a wide stretch and a lot of activities can happen We know how that places and how much more the place can be and lot more Trees in the in the you know in the middle of the crown and gives shade perfectly and gives a very different experience and Every space for everybody now to you know get in there and this is a cultural zone stretch in front of Kripankalabumi where we are Proposing that bypass of the road the road is again Going behind that area So again here the 2.5 7.4, which is a combined pedestrian zone and again the Infrastructure corridor continues and yeah and spaces are passing through and you know there is parking behind So the movement is there the movement This you know the continuous movement is there continuous experience of crown is also there. This is our last stretch So this is the residential zone existing residential zone one and two So here it can be again the water here as because now the infrastructure is already already late. There can be a Overland flow like on the road like how in front of a liner girl. There is a little dip in the road So those kind of things can be done and and again this this is the space where you know We got to reorganize and you know bring back the social life So can be meandering cycle path pavilions and all that Yeah, so No, no not last Okay, we won't talk about it. This is basically a bit Just just one sentence that this is this is something which we got inspired by Henrik's presentation last time which was Interactive he said he called it something else. It was public. So I think we are calling it interactive spaces which is along the thing and What we're talking about is we looked at every 200 meters and saw the possibility There were naturally many things that were already happening could just enhance it and have that Yeah, and the human experience we will leave it here. We won't talk. Yeah, this is what we were basically We think that the kind of experience that People can get along the crown. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry for such a long time Okay, we'll have again five minutes of Silent reflection and then get some questions from the dream weaving architects Or feedbacks, right? So do we have any potential? Sharing's any comments by the dream weaving architects Anything to integrate? Thank you. Yes, you know, the sections that you presented through different zones Bringing out the different Cultural aspects of those zones in the sections are definitely a steal and thank you for them anyone else any other Appreciations or comments? I would just second what Shalaja said about the sections in the crown and then Giving space to that archaeological thing because it is something quite special and I think that needs to have its space Okay, anyone else? Then I think we can move on to our next presentations. So next up. I think we have Henrik presenting over to you Henrik Good afternoon. So can I also click myself or? Okay so What we did or what was a big part of the beginning of the exploration was Trying to overlay all the information that is there Then also So I kind of went through all all the stuff that was done before so I got hold of of a File which had all the rosé things in it and then I overlaid what so has any Kind of sneakily proposed in her development plan and how to do roads then the 2007 plan of Anopama how she treats the industrial zone the lines of force and How she has her tweaks on the inner areas Then Fabian proposal was a big input So and I tried to kind of make sense of it and So what my main takeaways in the beginning analysis where that's okay one thing would be to try on the one hand to Go without the outer ring as much as possible, especially In these parts and up here where the outer ring would Cut through the forest quite a lot and then also that Kotakara is just a no-go zone and Also having the outer ring just parallel to the village road is kind of a little silly and So then what came also from several sources already is the need for the bypass here and at Ida and Shalvadi And So then the next thought was okay What are actually the connections? and especially okay a big Wish for the crown was to have it as much shared space or as least traffic as possible and At least in the residential zone so to really One aim of this actually Cleaner so one aim was then to at least get this stretch as a pedestrian zone so Then I tried to kind of Okay, one thing is the idea that the existing inner road, which is Param Bukaland and might well exist Up into the future that this is one bypass anyway and So the the other idea was then to also bring this up here when we get this bypass down here, so There's different options possible either in front of the line of goodwill or behind I Like the idea that this gets some connection here and that the pedestrian zone gets even extended and Then over at the other side. So here a lot of Presenters also kind of agree that okay a little bit Cart traffic would be permissible, but if you want to have a Release possible and then you want to get the traffic away from that road. So Here we also could have the the outer ring activated And then the question is okay. How how does the traffic come back here? So I took a kind of straightforward version where There's not so much damage to the forest here. So just using the existing bypass What is in Suasini's plan is going up here. So this could also be an option where then it cuts over here or Extending the other ring all the way and cutting through the forest which is maybe not necessary And so in the upper part it's also Mostly following Suasini in the sense, okay, we don't need to demolish so many houses to get some roads here And and this is the bypass to Dakali Which I think makes a lot of sense and I think with that bypass it's Very natural to just okay to say that the ring the crowned self is for cyclists For pedestrians you just have nice paths through the forest. So this is what you're anyway want when you have a forest and the car score through the bypass so I'm not sure. I'm not even very convinced that it would need something like these high lines or whatever Which is kind of a fancy nice thing if you really need a perfect circle, but Yeah, and so generally how the traffic comes along up here and how much does it need to touch on on the crown roads and Also the whole question here, I think that That's the first question that I would have to a traffic planner So one next step for me was to Yes, that's good So one next step was to kind of Get an idea of what could be a good distribution of public spaces along the crown and So one general rule, which is also coming from these pattern languages which were mentioned quite often as having public spaces every 400 meters or at least in 400 meters distance from every house and In the residential zone so and Since this is the pedestrian area. I took the liberty to put even a few more So there's like one two three four at the big junctions the most important being the historical historically given one in front of solar kitchen and then Two smaller ones in between which is also then inspired by what the previous dream we verse had with the exes coming from the matrimandia and This follows along the crown so then In the other three zones like you have two or three public spaces with one major public space and one or two minor so in the International zone one major which would also connect to the public spaces inside and one minor one major in the middle of the industrial zone and One minor here and the next one would be then used center and One major in front of calabumi and one minor Again on this axis so and and I don't think that this master plan is particularly interesting as a reference that's gmp planning a new city near Shanghai but what what I kind of took away so when I was thinking about how does Rujian Ji understand the Buildings along the crown so he He has the idea okay He wants to connect the inside and the outside that's why he makes The buildings quite porous puts them up on stills and there's a lot of gaps in between and then The road becomes kind of secondary. It's just okay. Where do we put the roads just outside? Or this is at least the feeling that I get from that and For me, I mean I heard a lot of people kind of resonating with the point that This road actually feels like the actual cut Okay, maybe maybe this is open and and connects to the inside at least symbolically to some degree But where the road in front That's a little difficult and there is the Section from ATDC where there is buildings on the other side, which are not really shown here Okay, but when I then saw this master plan where the road is really just running in front of the The buildings that kind of frame the crown or hold hold the circular road the same with a road here inside along the lake and And for me it was kind of okay On the one hand you want the movement through the buildings, but actually kind of the energy of that Circular movement is not really held it kind of dissipates and then I actually think also Getting really the density from outside To the ring roads is kind of also what connects outside to inside so That sense What you already more or less saw what I did a little bit as an exercise was okay like if you really want to fill up this edge and to get like Continuous building mass as much as possible and also framing the public spaces How far do you get and so then You have breaks where there's already existing houses and then already the centers that come either from these axes or from the Intersections with the radius and I also picked up the idea that I think Marie brought up first like to For example have structures in front of the library or maybe connecting here in front of human scapes a little bit to get this feeling of having the Crown road held from the outside Yeah, so I mean the more or less success of that Yeah, then it's always the question like how much do we already take what is there and in the and the plan by Anupama and Roger Anyway, so the next idea, okay here, maybe one idea of To have an actually very framed Public space connecting to the public space in front of unity pavilion and following that axis and One other idea was Okay, what? What actually gives these axes meaning? Okay, so one thing is that is already happening that at least at two public spaces these lines meet With a crown and Then First I thought okay, they were what makes a typical traditional plaza like So I mean the Cheesiest example Piazza San Marco So you have one main facade the church And then you have some vertical and then the tower you have the arcades you have a key of frame, but it's not a rectangle Stuff like that And So what came to mind is then two elements, okay, we don't want to have churches And Wrong direction, yeah, the fire is heavy. That's why it's jumping Yeah so So when when where these lines come from is the meditation chambers What then the translation to okay, this is like the individual Spiritual and this would then be the public so you would not have another meditation chamber, but maybe along these axes you would have the Public spaces there was one pattern by Christopher Alexander, which is called public living spaces so you have a roof it's covered your furniture maybe even fixed or loose or both and Along the major axis they could even reverberate the geometry so you could have a hexagon on the solar kitchen plaza then The triangle opposite to Savvichil Bhavan the square and the industrial zone and The soccer and the culture zone and then you would have these smaller ones in between Yeah, and then the question about the vertical elements Okay, I I'm not so Deep into the topic of in how far The water towers actually still make sense in the new concepts, but I mean there's kind of also a Little bit of a tradition to kind of make some fancy water towels and over so why not having these Along on on the on the public places Yeah, okay Yeah, and this is a little bit. Okay. What is a contemporary interpretation of celebrating communal space? So burning man festival This is one proposal for the burning man And this is like our close cousin Akosanti public spaces Yeah, and then also, I mean I didn't take too much care of Really getting an idea how to treat these water bodies, but one in front of the line of goodwill and then You would have where all this water comes So I took this more Prigmatic approach, okay where more water is that you would have more water bodies and Some Trench along the road and here and Maybe one hexagon on a water body at the square Yeah, so this is one very contemporary Example of getting a vertical element on a public space I think there's only a staircase inside so watch tower and This is also a watch tower, but This is also how a water tower could look like And this is Actually the full fledged example of it Nine McLeodden architects so where you then have all the elements or you have a gate You have the public building. You have a vertical element, which is now a watch tower and not a church anymore And you have the monument which could be the art piece today Yeah, and this is this section kind of exemplifies how I think right now about the crowd a crown road to really Have this very Say urban facade on the outside and Everything on the inside can be this more loose pavilion style architecture and Yeah, these sections are not yet so so much related to different parts on the crown but For for me, this was like just collecting the first four examples that kind of makes made sense to me so the Very conventional way to do it having two rows of trees Small roads six meter in the middle to pedestrian lanes and Then the whole thing inverted you have the psychopath four meters in the middle and two times three on the order and And this is what I found more interesting for for the pedestrian zone where you have a shared space and only permitted traffic and By the tree line a little bit away from the more urban facade so that you kind of create that street room together with a tree line and then again the pedestrian area and this would be Another version of that where you have then Articulated bus lane of just three meters And so this is What we try to get a sense of okay, how well does it come out so in gold we have these Public spaces next one would be here And so kind of the Take away a little bit from these renderings this okay, maybe these spaces have to be a little Dancer actually that we thought of them as a little bit too wide Yeah, so this would be the beginning of one of the lines of force And here's the second Communal space with a framed public space in the vertical element Lines of trees yeah, and just to Underline this with some fact. I think this is a very nice resource quite recent and that they Specifically say if you want to slow down traffic don't make the Road wider than three meters. So that means three meters or six meters is the width that you want or if you want to have this kind of In between thing four point five or whatever Okay, thank you, Henry So we'll take a few minutes again to quietly reflect and write notes Okay, so are there any Appreciations any feedback or comments to share from the dream weaving Yeah, Henry guys said it the last time already. I really like the way how What I have proposed and yours kind of Built on top of each other, which is really nice When I saw your first sketch around the crown with the buildings which you drew out so congratulates also on your plan language I think it's a lot of work Also the way how you try to integrate all the different Informations different galaxy versions the city center studies great So for me it really it becomes rich it becomes really a tapestry of an urban form and I think that's it's good We can debate on on on the shapes of course and all but overall I think it's really a step forward. So thanks anyone else Yeah, Henry So I really like the way you design those plazas and The last time it was very sketchy, but now it's very concrete and also the fact that you brought back the memories of the last dream weaving with the lines of light and you tried to make that connection with That's something that I'd like to be Inspired is that the politically correct? Not steel but borrow. Yeah. Thank you Anyone else anything to share? Okay, then I think we can move to the next presentation the last one before tea time applause to Henry and Yes, next up. We have Manu and Tanya Over to you. Yes. Hello everyone. Good afternoon on the stage. Okay Both So by now you're not probably surprised that we are both both together Those of you who've seen our presentations they were tending to come closer and closer together So we decided we'll just present together So shall we so these were the two big references we had when we started the 103 pages of the master plan and The relatively condensed and very nice read of the seven pages of the brief But reading these two We actually felt quite bogged down Because we were in this context and time when all these forces are coming at us mostly from Oronet I would say and and You know and we were pulling our hairs to see how we can do this, you know How we can bring the perfect circle down on the ground which seems to be the Urgent reality, you know Urgent reality for a will is to interpret this perfect circle for the ground realities. How can we do this? And that was when we were helped very well by this wise young rabbi from Egypt and You know who came to us and said that, you know, 54 years back 24 young architects went to the ceremony at the inauguration and then promptly afterwards they fell asleep and they woke up seven weeks back and Started to look at the city and try to see what to do with the reality So the proposition the rabbi had for us was history versus unity So try to dissociate ourselves from all the stories we're hearing everything that you see on Oronet Just come take the technical facts pretty much like what Henrik did read all those Literatures we didn't really dare to read all of it, but then there's the story outer Circle 30 meters wide But thankfully that's not in the seven pages for us, you know, so So we said we'll take the question out. So coming back to the inauguration day This was a prominent symbol The mother symbol if you look closer at it, you see pretty much Everything that you see in the master plan. You see the outer bound. You see the green belt You see the outer ring. You see the city in four sections. You see the Crown you see the peace area So it's very interesting that It's modeled on these symbols, you know, the oral sign And of course the first references the first principles for the city is Are these sketches this one went to Sattraim and that one to Huta and both quite clear city in four sections and This one for the unity park of unity. This was this was from The archives You see the lake here you see Matt Matrimandir you see the tree and Four gardens all around and all pretty much in a circular form Now if you look at the charter You see very interestingly like we notice that there is a correlation between the four sections of the charter and The four sections of the city So to look at the place of an unending education Could be a focal point at the cultural section industrial section a bridge between the past and the future Leaping boldly forward towards future realizations if you look at the interpretation of Roger of the industrial zone, you see all those lines of force leaping boldly forward over the crown and That seems to correlate also Belonging to nobody in particular of course international and site of spiritual researchers living embodiment of an actual unity and that could be the living section the life section the residential and It was interesting to note that mother had instructed to actually put this This line that Auroville is the city of the capital C At the service of truth around the tree and she chose the tree to be the focus of the city So these were very interesting Things at the inauguration and this of course the vision model Which is also in a brief that we need to refer to this all the time Of course again quite a bit of circle there If you look at the context of India you have the vastashastra manasara vastashastra The talks of the Padmaka town planning system where you have a round ish form to the city with four sections and spiritual center With ponds all around water all around so pretty much an interesting correlation We found and looking at the circle. We see that it's actually got a great amount of meaning It is all about inclusion totality wholeness focus timelessness, of course the sun and the moon and This is the most interesting at least for us when we talked about it infinity and unity and I'll come to that a bit later in physics if an if people or an object goes around in a circle you experience a net inward force it's called centripetal force so The that's probably the reason why people go in circles around temples You want to be drawn to the divine? So in this case walking on the crown could mean Drawing ourselves inside our own selves or towards matrimandu It's a creative and emergent mode of evolution and sure been though put it very well The intellect must consent to pass out of the bounds of a finite logic and Accustom itself to the logic of the infinite so from the finite logic to the infinite logic and how can we do this? to represent this mathematically you would say the circle bounds everything that's inside it is finite and the best example is the number one for finite and And everything that's outside the circle is in finite So finite to infinite that's the transition that we need to look towards and If you were to look at the crown as a as a as a site of a continuous dream weaving Like where we are dreaming we are dreaming our dreams of course, but weaving our dreams with the mother's dream as We walk on the crown so can this give us some clues on What to do on the crown and why I asked this question? What to do on the crown is because from the last set of dream weaving exercises David had summarized that There's not enough programming on the crown as per the master plan if you take all the List of buildings that are on it. It's not enough mass out there to create what we is that correct the the wave? Yeah Yes, so There is not enough so either we choose not to build the entire crown and leave those spaces Empty as some of the designs suggest or we dream up certain Uses, you know, which are not on the list So I actually got inspired by Latha's presentation Latha and Prashant I think a few a few Tejas Vinis Vasani and Darmish you were all they were also part of it So they had divided the crown into eight sections very pragmatically eight sections based on social political culture and topographical factors and We just took those sections from that study and We said we'll try and imagine the dream of the mother in Playing itself out in through plaza experiences through the walk experience in different sections So with the international zone it would definitely be Somewhere on earth a place with no nation could claim on as its own so And you know, you're allowed to laugh here because we've we've added Some functions which are not on the list just to fulfill the program of the crown so Actually, this one is on the list. I think and that one international youth hostel. That's all already on the list but the other ones probably not and Perhaps doing things like this where you actually stop all the traffic coming to the crown at the Bharat Nevas parking perhaps extend it and Put a solar roof on it so that it's well shaded for the vehicles And those vehicles that are electric can find charge there as well and then add buildings around the crown and There's one great thing that happened happens every year in Sabitri Bhavan is the flower exhibition and At the flower exhibition hundreds of children come Over a week, I think and they actually paint after watching the flowers So events like this inspiring stories like this can unfold Place of peace conquered in harmony where all the fighting instincts of man would be used exclusively to conquer the causes of his sufferings and miseries and We feel their Califaris could and could be the Place which could transform from the current crisis that it's facing to a place of peace and harmony Here perhaps Out of the resolution of this crisis. We might find ideas for such things and here we feel We need to be inspired by previous ideas on this of light approaches to The lines of force perhaps even radically transforming the nature of the lines of force instead of building Tall buildings heavy buildings. We do ultra light buildings all in wood Perhaps a complex of tree houses So that would also fit with the themes that are here climate resilient development and bio climatic and peaceful design a Place where needs of the spirit and concern for progress would take precedence so That would be from the Akali to the town hall road and These kind of institutions can come on the lines of force a Place where children would be able to grow and develop integrally without losing contact with their souls In education would be given not for passing examinations or obtaining certificates and post but to enrich existing faculties and bring forth new ones The first one out here is a real project. It's actually part of the list of projects in the original planning of Orwell It's who happens 22 years back. I did use that as my thesis project. So I have a connection and and So this is an idea we're trying to promote Where different units of Orwell can work together just like we are dream-waving architects Maybe units in Orwell can collaborate to produce Come up with innovative products so again the need for higher education in Orwell is also something that Perhaps could populate this space, you know after school Can children actually do their higher education here in Orwell? bodily needs of each one would be equally provided for the PTDC area and Here the only addition to the existing program here. We're proposing is the Orwell Lounge It's a place. It's a large lounge where you can just go and hang out with friends or just alone or Have chance encounters as you are sitting there and reading a book. So Just a place which is always open 24-7. It's always open So that's one thing and That could be in this area PTDC to the Bharat Nivas road Beauty in all its artistic forms paintings culture music literature would be equally accessible of course the cultural and here perhaps You know considering the number of artists we have from all different backgrounds It's time to launch something international and I don't think this exists this kind of organization exists yet artists beyond borders without borders And the cooperative installations, you know, we have centers all over the world. Why can't we do global installations? You know, there are many artists who specialize in global installations Peri Lynch who stayed with us in international. She does global installations. So Why can't we do in from Orwell? Money would not no longer be a sovereign Lord. This might be controversial But we're trying to propose a place where you can land in Orwell and not Have to shell out a lot of money. So when you're young and out of college and you need to stay You have a space and there is food as well. So that's Relationships of emulation and collaboration and real brotherhood Co-creation studios center for collaborative design and mandapam. So I'll come to that a bit later So that's That section which is already built up on one side and that's the overall It's it's just a sketch and it's not to be taken literally, please So it's got a lot of lot more work is needed to do but one thing we kept in mind is the lines of light which comes from the previous dream leaving to keep Opportunities for people who are passing on the road to actually see matri mandir from these gaps and There was some thought that was put in previously and you said perhaps The landscaping could be done in a way that you could have a glimpse, you know at times So that's that's one thing and the other thing that you might notice already is that the crown forms a barrier To motorized traffic for the entire inner city area The roads don't cross the crown the roads that come in from by a new us Side and from certitude side stop here in a solar shaded parking In fact people are already encouraged in the service node near the outer ring to stop If they don't they can go further and if they still want to take vehicles they can go in through the sectoral roads So something like this so ensure that inner city is completely pedestrian and cycle oriented Now overall design principles now, this is a place. I visited a month back Two months back Tirupadev, Madhura, Madhuras south Tamil Nadu near Tirunelveli There are hundreds of these mandapams on the riverside and on the street and All for people to use in whichever way they want and people have Like a hundred uses for this, you know over the thousand years. They've been in existence So the logic of this to to me is infinite, you know, it's like People who built these are visionaries, you know, and there they've been in use for thousand years These structures This is a temple and very close to Orwell near the Chengdal pit It's also a school. It's also a hospital. So and it's built 1100 years back So 1100 years back people had the vision to build complex multiple complex uses into one building and And this temple in Tanjavur, Brihadeshwara temple is a marvel because it's the only monument in India At least I know where the shadow of this capstone Does not fall on the grounds of the temple At any point in the day from sunset sunrise to sunset the shadow does not fall So there was a story to this the king Rajaraj Chola asked Kunjiramala and the architect like How do you think this round stone weighing 100 tons is going to stay 70 meters up For for long, you know, don't you think it will fall in one earthquake or something? So the architect said Don't worry, Raja not even not the stone but not even its shadow will fall on the ground So that was his metaphorical outlook and so that's the kind of vision with which you plan a building Coming back to our problem one to infinity if you have to make this leap Can anyone suggest a way to do this to transform one to infinity? What can we do? Yes Take away one Then it's zero, right? Okay, oh and then you form the circle Okay, no, that's not what I was looking for Come to this Look at this. Yeah, this expression you divide one by zero and the answer limits to infinity tends to infinity So perhaps we should look at zero quite seriously and look at what we need to eliminate from our system You know, good health comes from assimilation and elimination So what do we need to eliminate to stay healthy? So this Certain things we definitely need to eliminate danger to children on the roads I face this myself a month back when I was with my son cycling from international zone to Kalpana and Two times on the road. There was a close call one with an auto and one with a truck So it's real and it will only get worse and I don't dare send my child on his own cycling So how can we do this Helmut had very interesting observations with Belanger Public transport the ultimate solution and definitely Streets should be designed for children and not cars first. Yeah, so we need to look at children with first and not the car wits and They had suggested this for bus system With shuttles and perhaps it could extend to the outer ring as well and And Would you like to say? And can you switch me on? Okay, so for the immediate future, maybe a smaller shuttle bus would be ideal like it's only 1 meter 50 wide has 14 seats and if we buy a couple of them, we can slowly eliminate the car traffic inside then eliminate it to the outer ring and the same with the motorbikes and You Yeah, there was an idea that was some years back somebody walked already on a solar tram But that is for the later phases maybe and technology will advance probably by then That's you this is when we are fully populated 50,000 people plus God knows how many workers plus God knows How many tourists we'll have the need for some transit system But that's a lot more in the future and this for now is the best traffic calming method And perhaps we can have go shallas with the outer ring road with the farm group We can have a situation where you have and in the bioswales. We put cattle grass, you know So so the the cattle are happy. We are happy Definitely dedicated eventually dedicated ways for public transport and We said perhaps pedestrian walking paths over buildings and these can be interesting also for skateboarding If you've noticed in town hall those high-level bridges are a favorite for skateboarders You know, they love it and roller skates and so there could be multiple modes of mobility For the crown so higher-level Connections So because these widths these widths of the crown are too much for natural concrete bridges to happen perhaps intermediate supports and higher-level connections of buildings and then making the roof accessible and making You want So there are also our ideas merged because he had a skywalk and my original idea was also a skywalk I took it as the symbol as she all windows says that the meaning of the crown would be the higher consciousness So then I was wondering how to make a skywalk symbolic as a real crown and not just a ring road Yeah, and then I tried This experiment with the water droplet when a water falls water drop falls into water it makes a crown and Afterwards comes up a blob that looks like the matrimonium So my whole exploration was about how to make that kind of symbol relate to the matrimonium and first, yeah, I had a bit more massive things that could take infrastructure and Then I found that a lighter version might be better so when you look at this it would form really like a Crown and it could have more multiple use so with creepers it could shade the whole Area below at the same time Oma had mentioned that the wind since we are on a ridge Doesn't hit and some parts of the crown so we could put elements to direct the wind onto the crown Yeah, at the same time it would be the visual for the inner city when you arrive from outside and Yeah, it gives many more opportunities to enter the parks on the on a higher elevated level horizontally Yeah So there could be many more pedestrian walks behind buildings, of course the way we talked and Yeah, quicker at Ecologically sensitive areas we could use these bridge connections even for even for public transport through these girders This is called we're in deal bridges. We're in deal trusses where in deal girders These ones are very efficient to span long spans without columns and to look at how to eliminate this aspect of water just running up to the to the sea One just needs to be inspired by the local systems. You just take the micro watershed plot the points and Add wherever possible collection points where the junctions of rivulets are and Perhaps even make it geometric the way it was done in Tamil Nadu before And here we've added some more collection points for the lines of force for the wastewater and the rainwater so some of it treated wastewater some of it rainwater collection and one One aspect we noted this is a picture from Jaws the local system of lift irrigation from lower Ares to higher Ares It would be a bit strenuous for us to implement this now here, but perhaps we could do windmills, you know the way we Used to do so windmills Connected with the kunds. So wherever the kunds have a lot of water We have a windmill and that's where it has a lot of water is where the ring row sorry Crown road is then where the bun is you have a potential to collect a lot of water, especially here and You could have more windmills to that point and it could actually help Okay, and The other interesting thing is that the kunds as Rajiv mentioned in his presentation They use kunds on a hill slope to make a forest because the kunds tend to leak water and the water tends to irrigate subsurface That's a great thing because you don't lose any water to evaporation So you could plant around the kunds and Create food security, you know, so especially downstream. It would be easy to irrigate. So could we create a scenario where? food can be grown in the inner city Without irrigation without surface-level irrigation. So that's that's one thought And you might be wondering why there are so many people sitting Yeah So our ideas also correlated a bit because I had in mind to make a round amphitheater Theaters that could catch water and have a stage in the middle and can be used for meeting places Either a floating stage or these islands that just get narrower so that you have a smaller and smaller stage in rainy season And yeah, this idea with pumping the water up into them and making them really useful. Yeah, it's a good combination So that's how all the layers tend to work together The water the ground which is the farming the roof layer and at the roof we say that we do agri solar So we do roof top farming with solar. So you have both energy and food coming and all of this could so you have You know on on the crown to work on livelihood options. It could be an engine for new livelihoods Not only for Orvilleans, but also the village Population because at the service node, there's a lot of possibility of a bazaar and I've seen Village people in Alankupam growing food specifically for Orville communities Organically and selling them directly to the communities and some of the excess they keep on the at the house And you can go and buy them organic food at the village. So why can't that happen at the bazaar? Unemployment so the idea of craft weaving perhaps Orillia is here. So Swaram and Oreka and Treehouse community and perhaps bamboo center and perhaps even botanical garden can collaborate to make a musical wind house which actually is a tree house with food forest next to the kund and you have a 23 meter AV 55 and The shaft is constantly moving up and down Sometimes most of the time it generates noise. So can that noise be converted to music by adding a sound box? Pretty much like your you know the wind up The sound thing so you have musical drums and perhaps Swaram can innovate there and help make so for each plaza You can have a musical experience if you have a windmill attached to plaza. You can have something that's going on With the wind. Yeah, this jugad is a wonderful exploration in Indian cities That's a Royal Enfield motorcycle converted to a family car and that's the horrible version of it, you know the hand cart converted to and and of course the the electric motorcycle and What about money? Can there be a section of the crown that does not transact in money or blue sheet or gift economy or any such thing? But it's actually zero money area so you have goods and services in that section and You're not obliged to even Sign on anything or give any contribution Perhaps more activities like the Freestore In India, this is the tradition. This is a security net for children in neighborhoods. You have shaded play spaces on streets Play cricket children play cricket all the times I've seen children playing all day and it's shaded and yeah, so here I looked a bit at the courts that we have an oval and Even when we have trees just next to it the moment they don't have enough shade They are unusable during the day So we have that problem in the Ashakti all the way have lots of trees We cannot use everything and then I looked at the existing roads and the widths and the trees And how much shade they actually give and then the next one So I try to come up with a solution how since the crown is mainly pedestrian and cyclist Can be shady and really an experience for us and not just only after the inner buildings be an experience of for pedestrians so I made it four meter because thinking of the small shuttles thinking of just cyclists and one ambulance a month or a week and Maybe some lorries the four meters that we have in front of Kalpana or the three meter seventy would be more than sufficient for that The right side would still have options to develop later But the good thing is by pushing the infrastructure to the outside We have two layers where we actually can have bigger trees and really develop something got inspired by a Marist design always design of the weaving of the path through shaded area and to really have landscaping They are not just an elite that is invisible because it's round and Can we have regenerative buildings that are truly zero carbon is it really possible and perhaps dharkali? We could have an attempt at making all wooden buildings using things like compressed laminated timber and things like this And perhaps Enhancing the water catchment on that this picture was much bigger in the morning But after seeing Neha and Ganesha's they've cut out the building In the background there's going to be tree houses now Okay, so that's more like a section of the crown with the 16 with the agri solar system solar panels and Thirst and hunger this is the place where you can go to eat without having to pay or without having to even gift Money and this kind of places exist all over India And these work these kitchens work 24 7 Sadness, I think this is the central point of our We started with this whole thing of why are people? having to kill themselves, you know and These days we see a lot of this more and more of suicides Why are people feeling lonely? Why are people feeling sad? And perhaps it's the isolation perhaps. It's the city In the typical sense of the word setting in to the consciousness You feel trapped in your apartment and you don't feel the opportunity to interact and have uplifting chance encounters so that's a That's the beginning the start of this This exploration we need a dream plaza And thank you Johnny for that And we said we should design this and this could be ideally where most people go So we said could the plaza be an undulating experience not a very big space but a very long space with constantly changing sections so From Kalpana To suddenly it becomes narrow and then suddenly it opens up with the kund and the windmill and then all around solar kitchen It goes narrow in a passage and then comes into a wide space open space and Can this be a kind of place where people could go and just hang out and Whenever you feel low, whenever you feel sad, you just go watch people people watching is a great therapy and And and unfortunately at solar kitchen, it's only one hour long or two hours long maybe in a day That's not enough. We need 24 seven people watching places where you can be in the night also Yeah, that is a similar idea to bring more life to the crown itself So while we are waiting for developing all the buildings or coming up with ideas What actually to do there and also keeping in mind that some of the buildings like the santi or the birthing center will not be interesting to just walk in so I Was proposing like some little buildings like a cafe or something there for people to spontaneously meet Yeah, or buildings even that bridge a little bit over the the crown to give not only shade But also to to bring these areas and then also to create a lot of outdoor Meeting places like round tables or little semi public shaded places that are easily accessible and visible for everybody and This is when you look from Kalpana down to a solar kitchen I mean just ideas to walk behind that because now we got used to it But this area actually is not very amazing as an experience to walk so so that's just Ideas and the other side This would be Spontaneous encounters somebody who works on that table doesn't need to be a cafe would Automatically and count a lot of people passing by so a place to unwind Plaza to relax Zero twists and turns and this has been our summary of our experience Ganesh Neha me Tejas Vinay Tanya We went on an exploration We just quickly run So the perfect ground Circle four meter wide road and with and with a development left and right So right side Suggesting would be to develop the left side really for pedestrians as an intense experience and to have the right side Optional later on for in case we need a tram in case we need something Um, yeah Okay, thank you, so we'll have a few minutes of silence and we've almost made it after that we're going to go to tea any Appreciations any comments any feedback? It is interesting to see how the starting point of each of your presentations is so different each time Like it's almost like you have renewed and restarted and that's quite refreshing. Thank you Anyone else any other dream weaving architects? I think the main reason why there's so little feedback is because we've more or less all seen this already So it's it's like it's difficult to again sort of But this was nice to to see you're quite a different Approach again or a different presentation approach. Yeah, nice. Thanks Okay Thanks both of you really nice what I enjoyed most was the the functions which you came up with in the different zones I think they were very out of the box. That was very nice and If at all or really buys you idea, don't forget to charge in royalty Anyone else? Okay, then I think we can break for tea And we'll be back here in half an hour Right at 430. Welcome back everyone. I hope you had a good tea time We have two more presentations today and the first one is by Shailaja over to you And team and team Shailaja Jitesh and team Yeah, yeah, or will has started with the development of its center the soul of or will and Which is a connection of ours to the divine Without and within and so it is just natural now that we go the next step the next ripple in the movement Which is connectivity with each other which what I believe crown is and stands for and So the values that we have in matrimandir petals and the gardens Obviously need to be extended beyond to the yeah, sorry to the city and When we say the crown the crown can be then a hub of that quality and value taken from the center and towards the outside and then to be spread further on and so we started with envisioning of the crown as a varied space with varied kinds of textures and shapes and functions and possibilities yeah, and Then we started looking at the crown like really What the crown was as put in the galaxy model as Done later by Roger and has now given to us by the TDC and said, okay, let's take a hard good look at it and a closer look at it and try to decode and also take into Into our consideration the existing built-up area because that's where we need to relate the idea to and And then we said why do we do this? Let us also keep our aspirational fun-based Explorative aspect on and not forget all that while you know going into the other technical and planning aspect and we were really inspired and at the same time triggered by this presentation by Pierre and Mona which ended with Okay, we are relating the theory Can we relate with the ground reality the theory and that's where they stopped and I thought that's where let us start Let us start by relating not really the theory because that's a bit difficult for somebody like me to come with the so dream weaving Dream weaving with ground reality. So we said let us take into consideration all the ground realities Few of them that we can in the given time and with our interest and let's see where we go with that So when we talk about concept of the master plan or Concept of the galaxy and we say this is the concept and this is what we have come up with However, this is the exist existing reality. We thought let us try and match those So the first thing obviously now for everybody is the water So what we saw was that you know as you see these are the streams Okay, these are all the streams given to us I don't see on the map, but everybody knows where they are so all the streams lead to that part and Given from Julio, we have the map here of this part of Auroville being Place where water can percolate and this where it cannot and now we have got to understand that percolation is not our only Concern in fact, it should not be we should be conserving water in different ways as also Ganesh and Neha mentioned So we should also have catchment area. So what we have done here is brought out different places the water bodies Because if all the water is flowing out there in the dark Ali area that says something that says that we have not caught enough of it and Shouldn't we and so what we what we have here is also connections between those water bodies So these are the water bodies and yeah, so all these need to be connected So that they are overflowing into a pattern where we can again collect them or let them go in and We can also find ways to You know, let them come because the gradient is that way because the contour gradient allow Allows us to to bring the you know the Percolative water bodies and make a catchment body here in fact several catchment bodies and Therefore, I think we should have These water areas which are given to us over a wider masterplan area because I feel when we are looking at the crown we really need to look at other aspects beyond the crown and then we will find solutions to the crown and Here we have just a little Example of what we have done with these points that I talked about which are interconnected and they can be Interconnected along the road so as to give different possibilities to the you know within Orville of Landscaping and then coming to the galaxy plan and what we have talked about since the morning and what I take from the previous One of the pearls is that when we look at the galaxy plan We do not see the road and that is probably because the road is below the built Form if we look at that one aspect If we can if we say that galaxy is kind of a continuous form along and across Then are based on that and the interconnections that it offers. We have our proposal here So we said let us go into the residential zone where the existing buildings are and when we say that okay galaxy But existing okay, let's see how we can work with both of these together So coming to this area I would like to bring to bring your attention to a few of the built areas here like this is Kalpana project and in my view I feel it responds very beautifully to the you know the Movements pine here because it allows for a porosity We saw in the section presented of the a of ATDC give a talked about by Sonali That there is a porosity across and what that offers is not just primary spaces here of people interacting But secondary spaces which are semi-public so that there are there is a cities of places Of spaces of interaction that are allowed So that is the kind of edge that we are presenting to the crown as opposed to that What I feel happens here is that this project is not opening out in any way to the spine here is more closed in and in some ways That does not allow for a porosity and a conversation to happen with the crown so looking at the foot looking at the How how the crown is going? What do you call it the footstep of the the footprint of the crown? We have taken that into consideration while putting a proposal forth. So this is what we have proposed here and We will go into each one of these I Think we will go into this one by one. Yeah, so this is the area. I was talking about before. This is enlarged over here So what we are saying is that this is already giving a kind of a permeable surface because porosity I Feel there are three important things that we should consider while talking about at least three And I'm sure we can come up with more But three that I would talk to you about is that the build spaces should be interconnected in some ways Secondly, they should be Conversing with spaces and the build forms beyond and third that as there is a porosity of you know People moving along there should be porosity also for the trees to move along So this is porous not just for the built area not just for the people but also for the green fabric So what we propose here is you know and a kind of a building building footprint that allows for gathering spaces again of the primary public nature and a semi-private nature and Beyond because one can go through so there is a beyond possible and where we see that at present This is not happening because most people now put curtains. They don't want the street to face the street Maybe we leave some space here Allow for another bit form to come here Which allows for this this primary space to come up because crown is a series of interactions We need to interact and so let's say we have a built form which has a face with kind of activities inside of the nature that allow for Public activities to happen here So like kitchens and stuff like that coming here services and private spaces on the other side so that this indeed can be a space for everybody for all of us and Then we should also be and this is what I would like the urban Rajeev and the team to take over from here is how to have the guidelines for our built spaces to come up So that we can allow public space we can allow this conversation and this Interaction to happen and then we are also aware of the edges that we are giving So what kind of edge are we giving can that be part of another area and Now to take from what Ganesh said that can we take one element from the built building next to us and go ahead I would say can we take one function and go ahead if we take one function and go ahead for instance These are offices guest houses and residences and next to it is residences Can there be something which is common in between these so that there is not just movement along the spine but actually Now we have real connections It's not just buildings connecting and the walls connecting to each other But people connecting to each other which I believe is what crown about So yeah, so yeah, what we are trying to also do is to have spaces now This is a space left out between this bit between these and there's a lot of space here So what we are proposing is that where we have the trees going through are built form a kind of a cafe And we can have connections about the road and we should have so this is kind of a cafe And let's say we are discussing about crown and his development right here on the You know first or the second floor and looking at the matrimonial behind us And now what happens at the ground level is that the road widens and this becomes everybody's pace And when you go up it's a cafe. So this is like the the shared space. I'm really working on crown as a shared space over here So it is widening and narrowing at places, especially to allow the interactions to allow the functions and the build spaces also And then maybe spaces left here could be for, you know, FMRL exhibitions or FMRL, you know, drawings, paintings So that a lot of that a lot of what we need to say is said at the right time and goes away and it's fine And then there are other, you know, interactive elements If you want to interact fine discover something if not also okay And then this is the cafe I was talking about where really the crown becomes now all this is part of the crown And we are this is all our space. And yes, we may go up and beyond. And you know, this is one of the interconnections connections. So what we have really tried is to get connections across And now coming to this area. We thought that, you know, when we talk about the continuation of function. So now this this I get from the Galaxy footprint. So this is the space for the youth where they stay now. This is our circle, which I thought can a lot can happen here, which can really give us Number of interesting and useful spaces. But coming to the youth now. This is the space. This is the road we all come into. And you know, our youth has to go somewhere in the corner to express themselves and You know, whatever why we have such skill. We have so much happening. We have youth that sometimes also needs to earn for themselves. Why don't we have a workshop come exhibition area here where they create here. And you know, as people are passing by the interact and the youth are not in the corner anymore. They're right there with us. In fact, they are The first ones we meet when we enter automobile. Why not. So this space for the youth. And so what I'm essentially talking of is continuity in function and therefore a possibility of even, you know, walking through and Continuity of built mass and people both. So this is how we have kind of envisioned it. A really happening space and our youth is right here and Very much in between us and we are the youth then Possibly, hopefully. And there are the other parts, you know, forming spaces at different levels, which are Public and semi public in nature. And then to envision this space. I talked about this last time a huge, let's say a plaza, a marketplace of space for painting. And which which forms connections. Oh, yeah, we also thought of this as exhibition space at the ground floor at the first floor. It can be for paintings and you actually cross over and reach here. So now we are crossing not just at the ground level, but above and we have various activities happening. Very importantly, place for Installations because some of our feelings are really not FML. They are deep rooted and they need expression. And over here, we can have a hub of these, you know, expression of these So that when we interact, we interact around a cause around the theme around a sentiment. And it is right there in the middle of us. And as Manu said, isolation is not happening. And we have exhibition spaces which are interactive where you move one panel and what is seen changes and really it gives the feeling to each one that I matter my involvement matters. And I feel this is what it should be. And we can have even semi permanent or, you know, spaces like these. And yeah, for the library, I was thinking that This is like library building and we were thinking that this could be the secondary public space because we don't want it very loud and wild. So this is the space, maybe for, you know, sitting and reading holding book exhibitions and a semi covered space next to it out here. Where we can hold book readings and at the first floor, it can connect through. So now this at the ground floor could be library for the youth. So this way. So the youth have their expression here. They have their reading their, you know, their library over here on the top. We are connected and When we think of extensions of buildings, can we have them across the crown? Not always think of this as a barrier and either we go this side or that side. No, it can be either side. And so long as we are conscious of our edges of the buildings which open up to a continuation of function, a continuation of element and continuation of movement from the build space around. Then I think that we can really reach where we want to or hope to with the galaxy and this space could be even slightly bigger and we can look at people 24 seven without being seen 24 seven And the spaces can be, you know, interchangeable. Sometimes it looks like that sometimes differently. And then we go to the third third zoom in of the same thing. And what we want to come here is that when we when we saw the entire plan and we're talking about the water running. We said that we can hold the water at the crown. The crown can be a bond. So let us express that. And over here we can have built space. This is in the in the park area. So we can actually have an Institute for water conservation and which exhibits that again what we have done here is Opposite to the health center have space whenever we have built spaces. We are plotting. Let's keep space for public semi public space for interaction and expression. And as you see what we have done here is not really followed a perfect circle of the crown because we feel in the long run a line like that looks really circular. If it has to. So this is what you see here. And it can be experiential as well in the monsoons and that that built space could be something like that really an Institute to study water to conserve water find ways of, you know, and we need guidelines for that. So this is found with proposed interconnectivity built trees and people and it is ours. The crown is ours. Let us come together. Let us build it together. And we have just highlighted over here the walkway. So there's a continuity not just along the road but you are even within even beyond. So there are like there are these Continuities at several levels so that it becomes like a kind of a it is a series not just lengthwise but also across. And then we come to the darkly crown in industrial zone which includes darkly area. I would just like to repeat once that we are coming down in the gradient from 50 meters. We are coming 48 meters and over here is 44 meters MSL and jitesh. Oh, yeah, we were also thinking that crown can be at different levels does not have to just follow the contours of the land wherever required. But in darkly area because the land is automatically land is going down. We can keep the same level and automatically be higher than the land and over to jitesh if he's available he's not there. Yes, yes, you are the presentation. Can you see our screen? Okay, Nikki, you are pausing. Thank you. Just give me one minute to teach. I'm going to reshare the presentation. Sorry. Okay, so. Okay, you tell me next if you want to change the slide. Yeah. Yeah. So here's a little exercise that I've been doing to look at the industrial zone. As we know, you know, the levels, the topography is the key here, you know, we see the two canyons and and in the diagram you see the the lines of forces kind of going over it. So looking at the crown and and seeing what could be these kind of transitions, you know, what could be these intersections of the canyon and the and the crown and also the crown and the lines of forces. So this is like, it's something just, you know, like a flash it came to me and I thought I'd explore it. It needs a lot more, a lot more further study and exploration, but I'll just share what they have. So here I'm looking at, you know, these lines of forces not really as, you know, as we sort of seen sometimes in Roger's sketches are sort of these smooth, you know, transitions from a certain level to a high level, but but as sort of a network, you know, and as a network of, you know, these cores, the black dots are kind of these cores, which could be service course could be transition could be could be vertical movement could be services and these are the pink lines are, you know, could be structurally structural connections. You know, we were talking about today in presentations about building being, you know, really having a lighter footprint. So, so these literally are really not, you know, touching the ground there like off of the off these peers of these, you know, coming off of these scores. So if you go to the next slide, maybe the sketches I could share. Okay, I think this was supposed to come actually earlier, but I'll just talk about it a bit. I mean, this is, you know, some overlaps, you know, that have been presented by by Neha and Ganesh earlier, which I thought was a really interesting study of these negative spaces in around the crown. I mean, looking at looking at this blue and green as kind of the positive and then adding, you know, layers around it so that that I think is a really refreshing sort of take on on on how do we how do we really go about building, you know, around around the crown. So, but it obviously needs, you know, a lot more because the blue green as as many of these many of us architects imagine, you know, we imagine them as sort of static kind of forms. But whereas, you know, whereas they're much more dynamic and and there's a lot of fluidity like a lot of movement happening of water of, you know, different seasons and all that. So if we can look at this blue green infrastructure and then really look at the crown and I'm also here if you see there's another layer of Marie's of her analysis of the crown where she's looking at, you know, the crown with being varied. And I think a lot of people have in today's presentation kind of arrived at that conclusion. So looking at looking at that, maybe we can see the go to the next slide. Okay. Okay, so there are. So there are these zones on the ground. I'm looking at a section here, you know, which is passing through the canyons and the yellow being being these transitional pedestrian zones. I go to the next slide, please. This is a cross section, maybe of the buns that we were so so so in one of the studies that I did, you know, I saw that, you know, we could have these buns of like from 1.5 meters to about five meters high. And we could really narrow. You could have the width of the crown really from about seven to eight meters and and we can have the services also or the other infrastructure kind of going under the cycle lane, for example, in this case, the next slide. Okay, so this is also like one of the lines of force and then the intersection happening. So you see the level 40 and 45. So we enter at 45. Next slide, please. So yeah, there's this one of the sketch which which shows that transition, you know, of how, you know, how I'm imagining the lines of force to be these cores and and some of this movement could happen right from, you know, a wider width, going on up of the upper level right from the crown and then there's always on the left you see you open up into, you know, a wider public area which could be because it's in in the industries on could be series of exhibition that could be, you know, what Radhika and Shivangi today presented, you know, the like a heart like situation, but but happening at different levels. Next, next slide. This is another representation, you know, like a re sketchy one but but something like this. Yeah, I mean where you can have these lines of force is also as the series of 40 yards, you know, which are lifted off of the ground, especially these two that are that are going along the canyons almost. So yeah, yeah, that's all I have. Thank you. Jitesh is architect and in fact landscape architect at Chandigarh and we used to work together back in the 95 96 times. And yeah, anything else you want to say about yourself. That's it. Thanks. Thanks for this opportunity. This is wonderful, you know, to be part of this. It's really enriching. Thank you. So then last in the series or second last in the series is exploration of the sections. This is a section given to us by TDC. And this is how I put it in the plan where purple is the infrastructure. Pink is the trees, the water, drainage and the cycle path as you know it. This is the road 6.7 meters next. I'm sorry. So this is supposed to come before. No, yeah. Okay, so what vertical clear clearance as required by the public works development department is 5.3 meters max. So if you give six meters, it's more than enough. I can do. Okay, so next year. So taking this road as given to us, then we would maybe be able to because really I'm talking here of connecting across also not just along. So then we could have a built space over here with a column and we could, you know, come in and with some cantilever we can come in. So somewhere we have built space coming in and somewhere we have the trees. So we have kind of a series of spaces next and which looks like this. So somewhere, yeah. So somewhere we have the built space somewhere the trees and this kind of an undulation we get if we kind of play with that space given to us of this. However, we need this both sides, not just one side. This play of edges need to happen on both sides. Next, like this next. So then can we play between the two infrastructure lines and somewhere go near this edge and somewhere that is something I've shown in the sketch previously. Now you must know that this is really like a schematic and I'm not saying that you have to go like that like a snake, but if this happens over a long period. However, the space that I've shown is just a schematic space. So you are going on one side and now this offers possibilities for, you know, play on both sides. And yet we don't have enough space to cover even if we, you know, come in here with the 6.7 meter road. If we have a 4.5 meter shared road between, you know, four wheelers, two wheelers, two legged, four legged and all, then it is possible to, you know, have a connection. Of course, it is said that, you know, with the new technologies you can span 16.7 meters. But I feel with the new technologies we can also find ways of making our infrastructure more interesting. And so these are the possibilities where we really want to connect and then we have road on two sides and we can have supporting structure in middle and we could have spaces like that. And when we talk about site, I would say the site starts from the, from the center of the road, if not across so that when we build our spaces, they are trying to bridge over. The intention is there. And of course these are the parameters that we need to take care. And then let's say if we have a shifting road alignment like this. And we also shift the infrastructure. Then we have further possibilities to get what initially we saw as different kinds of spaces on the crown, like that. And then we don't need to have the same width of the crown. Somewhere it is wider, somewhere narrow, somewhere straightish and so on. And then if we see that this all is actually one, it is not like this is a road and this is green and all. If we, it is all one, a shared space which we are talking of, then it actually looks like this. And now here we can have either trees or pillars or whatever that is required at that point. And then if, if we are creative with our infrastructure and have it only on one side, then we can have more possibilities. And then we can include somebody like Nina, like we have included Islan for our trees. We can include Nina for our edible weeds. Not the smoking kind, but the eating cooking kinds. And we can have, you know, interesting possibilities around crown, something like this. A lot can happen. And just to remember that in the future when line of force and line of goodwill and all is we will have higher spaces. We need to be now welcoming the idea that we are going higher in different ways, not just through buildings and that the trees we should preserve if we don't. And then in the end, a question about what makes a circle. And I just have a series of drawings and I leave it to you to decide if a perfect circular line with the one center is the only way to make a circle or can there be various ways. And I feel that if you really want to take the concept into the context, these are the words of Neha, I really like them. Then we have to really keep our mechanical and logical mind slightly aside, not fully, but slightly aside and let art and intuition take the forefront. If we do that, I think we have answers, we have possibilities and the galaxy. Thank you. Thank you, Shailaja and Jitesh. We'll have a few moments to gather our thoughts. Okay. Any shareings, appreciations, anything you want to integrate into the designs, dream-weaving architects? I really like the integration of art. I think these pictures in the end, it's really important that we not only approach it with a technical mental mind, but we let the subconscious guide us. I really like the fluidity which you showed in the last slides. It reminds me of a proposal which was made for one of the segments at one point. Yeah, really nice. I said before, no, I like how you react with your new buildings on the existing and try to balance what you perceive as a shortcoming or not shortcoming, but that you react on the existing in a positive way. I find that's really good. So thanks. Okay, we have time for one more. Yeah, thank you for the new cross-sections of the Crown Road and to really bring out all the options that there possibly could be and I'm really curious if we have innovative solutions for infrastructure. Okay, thank you. It's time to move on to our final presentation of the day by Durle. And over to you, Durle. Actually, I started doing this together with Pavneet, but unfortunately she got sick. So the last two weeks she hasn't been able to put in anything. So basically her part of the presentation is on hold as it was last time. It hasn't moved any further, but I've tried to evolve. You want to show with the mouse or you want to show with the stick? I'll keep both options. Okay, this click to move forward. So we're looking at the Crown as a shared space basically and keeping just reflecting on the context of Orville and the climate and it's the main things are air, water, the trees and the soil. And they're all in this together with us as in we need them all and we have to protect them all. So it's a very, just something we thought, okay, let's build on that. And then it goes into, from that it goes into the porosity of things. It's connected with the soil as Jolio had explained in the technical soil, which is not porous, can't hold any water. So the more porous it gets, the more permeable it gets, that means you have spaces in between. And it's those spaces which hold the water or let the air through. And if you take it on a wider context, of course it's the porosity of everything, of the buildings, society, whatever. And then just wanted to look at the, do you have the porosity? The proportions in architecture and town planning, everything, proportions are very important and proportions to field spaces, proportions of the buildings. So it's just kind of elements which have led further into what we're doing. So here we have typical, this is more like a sort of a little plaza kind of thing, it's a bit fuzzy. But this is a typical street where one feels kind of comfortable and this gets very uncomfortable. I mean, it basically speaks for itself. It's just different ratios of spaces and roads and streets. So then we thought, okay, let's explore something in practice just to get a sense of the width of roads in relation to the height of buildings and how the spaces feel, how the shading works. And so this is just streets of Pondicherry. This is Neera Street, so this is a much more shared space, a lot of public functions, public space. It has different proportions that are different functions. And the beauty of shared spaces being integrated into the urban fabric and it creates so many possibilities. In this case it's the temple which is there which is totally integrated and works as a beautiful little sort of shaded space. As opposed to the beach road which is very well planned or really nice looking kind of place, but it's very limited in its use because there's no shade there. So it can only be used at night or in the early morning or in the evening. So it would be so much more usable if there was more shade on the beach road just then people could use it during the day as well. So that was kind of the take from that aspect. Then looking into a planned green infrastructure or rather unplanned, not properly planned green infrastructure. You see here in Pondicherry the trees have grown and the buildings are much too close so it doesn't really work well. It gets kind of chaotic, looks very pretty but in the long run it kind of doesn't work very well. So there's also examples where it's semi-planned. At least they've kept some space for the trees so this will hopefully turn out to be a bit better. So these are just examples to guide us further as to what is already being done somewhere and what we can look at. So then I looked at the crown road in section and what is being done elsewhere in the world and as it is a shared space. I said well then let's share it. Let's put the cars to be the guests on the crown because they're supposed to be phased out and even whether it's a shuffle bus or whatever it is it can always take the back seat. And we give this crown to the cyclists and the pedestrians. So the whole idea is this is basically a seven meter wide stretch for cyclists. They felt it was a bit narrow so they widened it. They reduced the part of the vehicle and they increased the cycle paths on both sides so that two cyclists could comfortably cycle beside each other which comes to a road of seven meters. So this whole thing is seven meters. It doesn't include the pedestrians. The pedestrians are aside but I feel basically it can be less also. So this is just to show that even in the worst case scenario two emergency vehicles can pass each other and there's even still space to cyclists at that point. So I like a lot of the proposals people reducing the crown the width of the road to even much further. Then I went into analyzing the mobility a little bit. Basically I stole the mobility from Fabian and Hendrik and copied it one on one. This is just sort of an explanation of the different areas and why those choices were made in relation to the mobility and why I made those choices, why I kept that. And this is a little zoom in. So then it's basically keeping the existing roads as already. Then we add some roads, some paved this loop in the industrial zone to bring in the traffic. I hesitate to go through the farm and the phony farm here and the cut a cry farm. But definitely in this whole area of the center field as we have this road right parallel. And this is again looking at the next five to seven years. We certainly do not need any tar roads or any paved roads here. This is the outer ring road. So again I just basically took that same concept and I kept a lot of the roads and cycle paths. Then looking at infrastructure. David said, don't forget to dream. Do crazy stuff. So I said, okay, let me look at infrastructure. So I said, okay, what kind of infrastructure do we need where and when or at least when. And how can that be done? So then I made a little diagram for myself. Where is what? So this is the residential zone. You would have a fixed infrastructure on the outer side because most of the development is on the outside. This is the center field, which is very little developed, but it can be in the future. We'll need infrastructure in the future probably on two sides because it's the highest density residential zone. This is the international zone. It probably does not need infrastructure on two sides because it's very low density in terms of infrastructural needs. Then we go through dark alley where one would have a different type of infrastructure because it doesn't really need to be connected to anything. I mean, there's just needs to go through. Then the industrial zone for now, there's not that much happening, but it's supposed to be happening soon. So we put infrastructure there, keep the possibility for later. We have the dis bliss. Again, we don't need to connect to anything. So we put a different type of infrastructure and then here we have cultural zone and the Malakshmi Park. So the idea of this is that we have conduits under the Crown Road with junction boxes which can later then connect further infrastructure as and when needed. Because my whole idea is we don't know what the future holds and technology is advancing. And with everything, with climate change and the way things are, my idea is we should always build the absolute minimum of what is possible. Because we don't know what will be possible in the future. So we build what is needed now and keep the possibility open for what may be possible in the future. So then looking at what kind of infrastructure can be done where. I actually talked to an expert in Hyderabad and this is what he proposed to have precast conduits which can house all the infrastructure. I'm not saying this is the exact size, this is just what I got online. With these junction boxes, which are really big, they're actually man high and everything can be connected and then reconnected and changed in there. And in these park areas, we can just have conduit pipes. You can put in a whole bunch of pipes in there and then you just pull in your infrastructure, keep empty pipes, you can put them in. And yes, Toby said it was really expensive but this is much cheaper in the long run because it gives all the possibilities of expansion in the future. It can change and you don't have to dig up every time. I just see the cycle path, Arati, Grace, they're digging it up by hand again to put in a cable. It's the so many other times. So this is what's going to happen every time in Orville, it's going to cost much more than in making an investment one time. So the whole thing is you just put in the things where needed, where necessary and then you expand as and when needed. So it's not such a huge investment anyway. So this is just a little sketches of how it could be. This is the flexible pipes which come into the junction box and they can come out where and how needed. And these are the conduits with all the pipes neatly arranged. It can be in the ground, half in the ground or even above the ground where the water needs to flow underneath. Just to show how neatly it can be done. Although they all have their little things of how and how everything can be connected. So that's the idea of the conduit system. So then moving into more natural environment. I just wanted to understand how did the forest evolve where they are. So basically it relates to where the high periculation or high infiltration areas are in Orville. So it's kind of a natural thing that the forests grew best there and were planted there. And then we have the overlay of the galaxy. So also here we see again that actually by chance or not by chance, a lot of those areas are very low built up areas. They're not high density areas. And then I go into my proposals of what I want to just propose for different areas. So this is the dark alley, international zone dark alley park area. Basically there you see the whole dark alley park forest. It's a huge area. So I wanted to create a spot because this is the international zone. So I thought okay what can we do there? We have the beautiful forest and something can be done because so I wanted to just create a space where people can meet informal meetings, cafes, whatever, singing, yoga, all these kind of things can happen there. And there could be a nice space also for actually a beautiful place for the people of Kotakura village to come and enjoy the forest and maybe I don't know learn but just also to have a place because they don't have a nice forest place as far as I know where they can. So it's just an informal kind of meeting place for people to enjoy the forest while still. This is part of Pavni's presentation where she wanted to explore more the galaxy and how that interacts with the landscape but she hasn't been able to put anything in. I just left it for now. And then I go to the other side of the dark alley park which is again the same situation actually. It's still the forest. It's close to the Kali temple and with all the water percolation there and it's connecting to the industrial zone. So I said okay what are the functions which would make sense to have there. So it would be a place where people working in the industrial zone could come and have whatever, enjoy the forest. There could be cafes, there could be eateries, there could be walks in the forest, meeting places, places for markets for the people to sell and mini-expose for their products. So basically a shared space but with a slightly different kind of idea than the other side of things. And then there's this line of forest which a lot of people have talked about and I love the way Ganesh and Neha presented it with the water. So I did actually, in addition to what they've done, my idea was just to plant a really dense TDF forest on that line of forest to bring it to signify the force of nature and very beautifully put by Neha. I've forgotten the words now but the line of forest and the force of life. So just to emphasize that and to signify so those two things could work really well together and then we have the next line of forest which is half on the canyon. So I said okay well then we do half forest and half a line of forest or half constructed something. Then I just wanted to a quick look at the industrial zone, the lines of forest and again I come to the thing of the climate and the minimalism and permeability. All these things kind of come together where I think like the lines of forest or the big buildings shouldn't touch the ground too much to keep the ground open for people to move, for the wind to go, for the water to infiltrate or run through. So these are just impressions of whatever it could be. Further that and the lines of forest are quite close together in that area so it would be just also exploring the spaces in between what actually happens in those spaces. And then climatically appropriate big subjects, complicated on big scale buildings but what is important is to take into consideration the wind direction, shading of facades which is not possible in high buildings so then one has to see how is that done. Just some examples of buildings with big sunshades, setbacks, green facades, yeah taking into consideration building materials is also an important if we just continue to build everything in concrete then we're not really doing orval justice. And then what the functions could be in those lines of forest or in the industrial zone generally. I really like this example of the market hall in Rotterdam where you have huge building which inside actually is a huge market hall and then above and this is all like offices and residences so everything. Everything is happening in that one building and then just then again I skip this one and this one and then I get to the sections of the crown. It's been a lot of people have talked about this so the explorations of how it could be shaded so if we have the reduced the width, I haven't actually reduced the width of the crown much or not at all. What I've done is I've put the infrastructure always and exactly the same position on the outside of the crown. And then what changes is the width of where the planting can be and the width and the position of the road. I didn't put measurements there but that's the idea so anyway so that basically the road would be shaded in most parts of the day and year and it wouldn't create a heat island. And then we go over to like in the park areas. We still have the infrastructure at the same position in the conduit either in the conduit or underground pipes and we just have a very narrow little cycle path which goes through the park. It can be meandering wherever we want and in the forest all there is is actually the infrastructure and basically sand cycle paths like we have them now. And then on the plaza again we have the same situation probably there will need two infrastructure things corridors so we just have a bigger space but we always know where our infrastructure is. So this is just the idea we have the infrastructure trench on the outside and then it goes under the road at intervals and with the junction boxes. So this is just some examples of the shared space the bicycles and the cars where the car is definitely the outlaw here or whatever unwanted guest. And then I looked into the residential zone a bit and a lot of others have done so as well just to look at what are the functions which are envisioned in the residential zone. And that it needs to be densified I think that's one of the next things we should be looking into as a community and making sure that the water can go so and seeing what is possible in which area. So this is surrender our car Malakshmi home and it's a it's a kind of a no man's land we can't build more there but we can bring the park in so the park is here so we can bring the park into that space and make it into a nice little public park area which is inside close to the road. And here I personally think that we should have more connections with the green belt the residential zone and the inner city green corridors not only for ourselves but also for the water and for the wildlife because if we cut them off if we build dykes and fences it's not going to work very well. So this is just looking at where the water can and might flow and yeah this is this area then keeping in mind whatever this is the Sunday very bad sketch but just the idea of the biophilic design having green in and around health facilities is really important and not only health facilities but also offices and residential buildings. And so making this crown I've kept it as a very neat line but the whole idea is to put traffic calming measures so that it can actually become a public space with different things happening. On it and in it and Marie and other people have said we need trading devices and that is absolutely correct I haven't incorporated any of that here but it's the idea can go back. So then where just by sketching this I came to the point there's these little pockets of things left here and there. So and I just thought it'd be nice to have little spaces for contemplation and little private kind of places to go by yourself or with a few friends or whatever which is not everything is always needs to be public space it can also just be a little private space in between a nice little green sort of courtyard or just something to experience. It doesn't always have to be everything has to be public. Some people also just more introvert and then the crown solar kitchen plaza which is I think something we should also develop as soon as possible to actually create that space for all those public activities and where we can informally meet together meet and do things which all these cafes eateries outdoor performances. So this is just some images of what is possible what what would work what wouldn't work whatever and then if we look further into the future to develop this stretch into the next. Plaza which is something I stole from Hendrik which his plazas worked out. So that's it. Thank you Darla. So we'll have a few moments of silence and gathering thoughts. So do we have any final appreciations or any feedback the dream weaving architects want to share for Darla's design. Just a small thing which always fascinates me and this relation of micro to macro and how you have kind of brought that in with the earth element being porous. The permeability and then the same the micro sense of that applying to a larger whole of town planning. So I found it very fascinating and interesting. Thank you. Thanks for that and thank you very much for making the effort to look to the infrastructure. It's always kind of difficult to pick and maybe a bit boring. And so we have the tendency not to look at it. And I think it was very interesting again to find that along this four kilometer circle there is plenty of different options depending on where we are. And it was very interesting. I will borrow this. Thanks Darla. Similar to Marie actually the infrastructure was quite a revolution for me the way you saw it. What I really liked was you kept both the inner and outer and then you played with the center in the sense that you can have it shot or more large and have green within. Somehow I never thought of that. Yeah, very nice. Very nice. Anyone else? Okay. Then as you might have noticed on screen already, we will have some final comments from Doshi Ji and colleagues at VSF. Hello, Doshi Saheb. Sambaraj, are you here? Yes, Sambaraj. Okay, sure. So thank you so much for coming and for listening. I hope you've been able to get some gist of some of the presentations. And Rajiv has given us some comments just before lunch and we'll be very happy to hear some of your comments if possible. That would be very nice. Thank you so much. Mona, I want to first of all thank the whole group, you know, the new group who is trying to do things. And for me it has been a great surprise and extremely enjoyable. The idea of participation, I was involved with the automobile master plan before, almost 10 years ago. And that time I used to meet some community people but it was not much. But today I found how many of you have worked on the plan with the ideas, whatever they are, you know. It's not necessary that every idea has to be relevant or comprehensive or whatnot. But the fact that you are all looking at the crown, you are all looking at the galaxy plan and you are all talking about how do we really participate and go. Two, three things I would just like to say. I had met Rajiv in the 70s, also Piero and others when I came here to meet. There was a little conference and we started talking about it and Rajiv wanted me to get involved with the master plan and so he was saying that let's do. But what I like about it is the mother's vision, vision of a new society, new culture, new ideology. And that is something which I think is still very valid. So my humble question would be that how do we come together and create an intense energy, that galaxy plan is very well drawn. I had a long discussion with Rajiv and he wanted me to get involved. But that's not the point. The point is there is the mother's intentions to start something, I mean to grow the seed and the whole thing would go as if you know it's the banyanthi. And I think that is something which is good and I think a lot of you have worked on in water, climate, functions, places. I think if this kind of an idea can continue and the other thing which I would like to just say is while you continue this it is going to be an ideal city of tomorrow, city of dawn. And I think that is something which I was thinking that if we can elaborate what is going to be that then all the details will fall together. But just to say one thing only in the end, I heard most of you and lot of you have done lot of work, extremely involved and I want to congratulate you for this and I would say keep going on, continue this and let us realize the dream of the mother. Thank you so much for allowing me to be here. Thank you Darshi Sahib. In two weeks we are going to have one more such dream weaving session where we hope Rajiv and Jaydeep will be here and then we hope to continue working with you and hopefully with a team at Vastu Shalpa to create the DDP as soon as possible. Hopefully everything should go smoothly and we hope that this will be a great opportunity to take this forward and in Auroville I think it will be a great step forward for us. So we hope to have your further continued support and blessings that we can go ahead with this and whenever possible your intervention and your comments will be most welcome. So thank you very much. So Jaydeep? I think at the moment doing what every participant has contributed something which is different, unique and I think all this when you put together we will get a good deal of information and we can synchronize it. Yeah, super. Thank you. Rajiv or Jaydeep, would you like to say something? I think I said most of the things that I still think as an overarching idea of the three things that I mentioned in the morning so I won't repeat that. I think I'm very impressed by the quality of thought and ideas that have been illustrated and elaborated here in the short period that all of you have had and it's been really a pleasure to listen to all of you. So I really look forward to the next session where I think some of these now come together in more intense ways. So with that I will hand over to Jaydeep to go ahead. Yeah, I don't know how much to add but I think it's fantastic in a way that each one of us and especially all the participants in reviewing are trying to create this harmony and I think we all and especially the participants have showed us a phenomenal way of creating this harmony and the possibilities that lie ahead in creating that harmony and I think we are very thankful to have them presenting their ideas on this. Thank you very much. Thank you Jaydeep and Rajiv. So tomorrow we are going to have discussions on the table. So again we will be viewing ideas in smaller tables. First in the morning will be the technical and peer group and in the afternoon will be the focus groups and the randomly selected citizens. So we are not finished yet. We will continue tomorrow and we hope then we will have more feedback, more critical and positive feedback from others and there will be more chance to take this further. So with that I don't know David Omar would you like to add something? David, you can read that. I don't really have much to say. The only thing that I'm actually happy to notice is that many of you have shifted from using stealing to sharing and other things because I said it once in the Unity Pavilion as a bit tongue-in-cheek and it took hold and I didn't intend it to. So yes, it's this whole copy left, not copy right and everybody is sharing and borrowing. Exactly. So I'm happy to see that happen naturally and look very much looking forward to tomorrow and seeing how we work together around the smaller tables and sharing the feedback directly with the architects where we can look around the table and look at the plans on the table. It will be a very different atmosphere than what we've had today and I'd really like to thank you all for coming and I'd really like to thank you all for being so patient. It's been quite a long day. It's a lot of information and I'm happy to see you all still sitting here. It's amazing, fantastic. Thank you so much. Just don't leave yet. And thank you for Vastu Shilpa Foundation for being present throughout the whole thing as well. Yes, a big thank you to the Vastu Shilpa Foundation for being present. To Doshiji and Jaydeep and Rajiv and to all of you participants who have come and to the dream weaving architects and to our tech teams. It's all worked out very smoothly today and all the people who have also joined in on Zoom. For just some information about tomorrow, so the morning will be for the experts, peers and analytical group. We'll start at 8.30 here at Bumika Hall. The afternoon will be for the focus group and randomly selected participants and we'll start here in this hall at 1.45. Everyone is invited to lunch so that can be a shared activity. If you are coming, please do let us know so we can count how many lunches will be there. And also a reminder to bring your forms and feedback sheets that you have filled out today as I'm sure you won't be able to remember every single thought you've had that you've not noted down today to give feedback to the architects tomorrow on the small tables. So this is also for you to remember and then finally this will be also the main way that we will pass this feedback on to the architect teams.
