NEIGHBOURHOOD :
SUSTAINABLE INCLUSIVE HOUSING
WHY? ( ISSUES)
Situated 6 km from Indore, Madhya Pradesh is a housing project for the middle and
lower income groups of Indian population. Designed by architect B. V. Doshi of
Vastu-Shilp Foundation, Aranya, was awarded the Aga Khan Award for
Architecture in 1995.
HOUSING PLANNING
Plan initially prepared by
Indore
development
authority which shows a
typical rubber stamping
attitude
without any
concern for open space
hierarchy , circulation
system
,
climatic
orientation or the built
form. Basic grid pattern
envisaged for simple
layout
Initial
stage
proposed plan with
distributed
open
spaces and street
hierarchies. Twists
and
staggers
introduced
to
discourage through
traffic.
Later stage of
development with
rectified
orientation to
minimize heat
gain and increase
natural shading.
Clear hierarchy to
be obtained.
Proposed master
plan with
interlinked open
spaces, built form
variations,
distributed
amenities, road
network
hierarchies and
climate friendly
orientation
Housing categories
The master plan was
divided into six sectors with
a central spine area of
commercial
and
institutional land use.
The town centre in the
middle part of the spine
consisted of four clusters of
shopping, residential and
office complexes.
Housing categories
The high income group
(HIG 9 per cent), is
along the periphery of
the national highway
and part on the south
east border of the
arterial road in the
south.
The
middle
income
group (MIG 14 %) is
planned
along
the
periphery
of
arterial
roads on north west
side and part on the
south arterial road along
the part of the spine.
The lower income group
(LIG
11%)and
the
economically
weaker
sector (EWS 65%) are
located in the middle of
all six sectors.
DIVISION OF SPACES
Residential : 58 %
Pedestrian : 24%
Open spaces : 7%
Commercial : 8%
SPACE USE
commercial facility; 7%
open space; 8%
pedestrian; 24%
residential; 60%
CONCLUSION
1.Locally available building materials used for low cost
housing.
2. Interactive spaces are created e.g. ottas and pedestrians.
3. No parking space provided due to majority consists of
EWS/LIG groups.
4.Extensions such as balconies, open stairs and porches
acts as both indoor and outdoor characters.
COCLUSION
Community facilities grouped in local sub centers
Formal organization
Community facilities distributed evenly
Informality created
Accessibility improved
Lower level Community facilities organized in green spaces
.
The road network, designed according to the topography,
allowed for smooth gravitational flow of water.
