MIXED LAND USE DEVELOPMENT- URBAN DESIGN AND PLANNING- DEVANAHALLI

Notes
* Elaborate research work is complied into a small abstract document for the web publication.

Introduction
The project focuses on mixed land use type urban development and planning. The master planning work is a collaborative team work between NBBJ as the planning firm, C& T as the local architects and Brigade Developers as the clients based in Bangalore. The client wanted to build an extraordinary livable, marketable and sustainable township on 120 acres of land next to the new international airport of Bangalore. It caters to variety of end users across the varied financial and socio-cultural strata of a cosmopolitan city. The township is divided into a majority of housing areas in a hierarchy of Villas, HIG, MIG, Affordable, EWS apartments and a network of public-commercial buildings like hospitals, offices, schools, malls, multiplexes, market streets, urban parks and playground, etc. The site topography has some remarkable features such as existing tree plantations, water bodies and rock formations. The most challenging feature of this project is to generate the character of the overall development by meeting the desired FAR considering all the practical limitations imposed by the bye laws of the city.

Scope
The primary intention of the project is to facilitate planning by providing accurate local insights to the Indian way of living in cities by addressing contextual issues such as site, sustainability, community, culture, tradition etc.

Limitations
The selection of a set of urban theories doesn't impose any ideological inclination. Apart from a few Indian cases studies, most of the case studies rely on information compiled from secondary sources.

Methodology
The compilation of the brief consists of a literature review of two parallel viewpoints. The first compilation focuses upon on the study of modern urban theories to achieve a certain philosophical vision while the second deals with the study of various typologies derived out of traditional and contemporary housing projects. These examples are studied in the context of street patterns, massing, open spaces, landscapes, circulation patterns and other similar relationships.

Inferences
There is a successful collaboration of ideas and research work between the client, the planners and local architects that has been developed over the course of various workshops and meetings. Program distribution on-site, housing prototypes and other key components of the development are arrived at after and every stage of conversation.
