INTRODUCTION Mixed-use High Rise Habitat is—in a broad sense—any urban, suburban development, or even a single building, that blends a combination of residential, commercial, cultural, institutional, or industrial uses, where those functions are physically and functionally integrated, and that provides pedestrian connections.

NEED OF PROJECT Since the 1990s, mixed-use zoning has once again become desirable as the benefits are recognized. These benefits include • greater housing variety and density • reduced distances between housing, workplaces, retail businesses, and

other destinations • more compact development • stronger neighborhood character • pedestrian and bicycle-friendly environments Mumbai currently faces Space shortage issue and various social issues one of which is travelling from one end to another. A resilient mixed-used complex is an attempt to Address these issues.

OBJECTIVE: TO study Mixed-use Habitat in context to Mumbai

OBJECTIVE: To understand programmatic planning of urban space at community level or mixed –use habitat at international level

OBJECTIVE: TO study vernacular in high rise in context to Mumbai

OBJECTIVE: TO study The Structural concept implied for a high ride building

The design of the building makes it environmentally friendly, using technologies such as floor-to-ceiling insulated glazing to contain heat and maximize natural light, and an automatic daylight dimming system. The tower also features a greywater system, which captures rainwater for reuse. Kohinoor group pvt ltd. States that the building is made largely of recycled and recyclable materials. Air entering the building is filtered, as is common, but the air exhausted is cleaned as well. The Kohinoor square building is one of the first skyscraper building in india to achieve a leadership in energy and environmental design platinum rating for environmental sustainability a gold (leed) certification from green building council. Construction of the Kohinoor square started in early 2009, with an completion date of march 2013.

The combined pile raft foundation (cprf) is a geotechnical composite Construction that combines the bearing effect of both foundation elements raft and Piles by taking into account interactions between the foundation elements and the Subsoil the piled raft foundation system has recently been widely used for many structures, especially high rise buildings. In this foundation, the piles play an important role in settlement and differential settlement reduction, and thus can lead to economical design without compromising the safety of the structure. In several design cases, the piles are allowed to yield under the design load. Although the load capacity of the pile is exceeded, the piled raft foundation can hold additional loads with controllable settlement. Thus, accurately determining the settlement of the foundation is critical and for this the designers must consider the role of the raft and the role of piles in combination, as well as the interactions between the foundation’s components.

Concept

CONCEPT OF THE ARCHITECT

The Tower is one of the masterpieces of Indian architect, Charleas Correa. Kanchanjunga Apartments is a 28 story height high end residential building built in Bombay, 1983. It was clear that the architect has reference to Lecorbusier’s crossover units in Unit habitation in Marseilles in 1952. Correa planned the 3 and 4 bedroom units interlocking with 5 and 6 bedroom units. 3-4 bedroom units occupies on and half level, and 5-6 bedroom units occupies two and half levels. There are small level displacement within the units to differenciate outdoor terrace and indoor living space, dining room and bedrooms and so on. These change of levels hide the living and bed rooms from the heat of sun and rains, while the big opening of balcony could get as much day light as possible. The whole building structure is built by reinforced concrete. The open terrace part is a 6m deep cantilever structure. Central core with lifts and shafts and building services so it also provide central stability element for lateral loads.

The appearance of the building has strong resemblance of modern western building design. Especially the white plain surface with concrete construction. But the apartment design is an interperation of traditional Indian bungalow with verandah which is a main part of living area of indian family.

The tower is 21m square on plan, and 1:4 proportion on elevation, 84m height. It has a plain facade surface, with cut away to open up double height balcony.

EXTRA TEXT EXPLANATION

The tower design reinterperated the traditional living style of indian with modern architecture. And it is succesfully merged with environmential consideration, and social needs in this tower. Correa’s strong design signiture of sectional displacement where appropriate by changes in floor surface is most elaborated in this project. The complexity of internal spacial organization to create level changes and interlocking four types of units was pushed to an extreme in this project..

The building is oriented in east- west direction to catch the natural wind from the sea and also this direction has best view from city to the sea. But this face is also most heat up surface by the sun. The old bungalows solved this problem by warpping a thick layer of around living area verandas to protect from heay monsoon rain and sun heat. Kanchanjuna Apartment is applying this concept into the apartment design.

OBJECTIVE: TO study vernacular in high rise in context to Mumbai

Site & Surroundings In India Kanchanjunga is located in Pedder Road of Greater Mumbai, The Island city. Near the site to the west is the Arabian sea and the neigh hood is surrounded by many high rise structures influenced by Kanchanjunga as it was the First High rise in the area

STRUCTURE

Whole structure is made of reinforced

concrete. The building is a 32

storied rein-forced concrete structure

With 6.3 m cantilevered open

terraces. The central core houses

lifts and other services also

provides the main structural element for resisting lateral loads. The central

core was constructed ahead

of the main structure by slip

method of construction. This

technique was used for the first time in India for a multi-storied building.

MATERIALS&COLOURS With its concrete construction and large areas of white panels, bears a strong resemblance to modern apartment buildings in the west. However, the garden terraces of Kanchanjunga apartments are actually a modern interpretation of a feature of the traditional Indian bungalows the verandah. In a bungalow, the verandah wraps the main living area. According to the architect there are some elements to combine the whole city as form axis of color. The color expert says that “the quality of sunlight, climate and culture influence color choices : hence one would observe a preference for blue and its shades in the west while in India and other Asian countries one finds a predominance of reds and yellows

Great deal of transparency has been achieved by the use of large opening and terrace gardens on every floor. Because of American training, Correa has rarely been tempted to import Western ideas into India. Like most architects of his generation he has been influenced by Le Corbusier, but by his response to the Mediterranean sun with his “Great sculptural decisions (the over-hangs, the double-heights), placed facing the elements”.

Concept CONCEPT OF THE ARCHITECT Linked Hybrid projects a renewed thinking about the public space within large scale high rise projects. Holl shows us in this project how his ideal vertical city should work. It is his ideal city within a city. The horizontal traditional urban structure, continuous plinth with services, is combined with the vertical city, disrupted plinth. Living is combined with commercial program in various towers. The commercial program is located in the plinth and living above. An ‘urban’ ring of commercial and cultural public activities link the towers on the twentieth floor. This skyhigh public space provides a cinematc experience of the whole complex and the city surrounding it. A big variation of urban functions are located in this ring, for example: a swimmingpool, a fitness centre, a nail and hair studio, an architecture office, galeries, bars, theesaloons and stores (more info on page 3).

To prevent the city within a city to become an isolated island, Holl introduces the term urban porosity. He connects his ideal city with it ’s context by attracting people to the centre of linked hybrid. Urban space is enclosed in the heart of the project. On street level pedestrians are able to move in and out the project.

These two themes, ‘city within a city’ and ‘urban porosity’ are also the basis for Holl’s second big housing project in China, the sliced urban porosity block.


The ensemble of high rise towers instead of the vertical tower pinned in the city projects a new way of thinking about high rise architecture. The public space in heart of the large plot area connected with the highly accesible program in the skyring makes a unique contribution to the public life in the city.

TAIPEI 101 Taipei City, Taiwan, 2004

Architect: C.Y. Lee & partners Client: Taipei Financial Center Corp Building Footprint: 2500 m2 Gross Floor Area: 412.500 m2 Height: 508 m Cost US$: 1.6 billion Lifts: 61 Status: Constructed

Concept CONCEPT OF THE ARCHITECT

The unusual tower shape is an idea of the architect C.Y. Lee from Taipei. He was inspired by local culture, the building reflects the culture in which it functions. Lee was looking for balance between local culture and internationalism. The tall building symbolizes a broader understanding and anticipation of things to come: we “climb” in order to “see further”. The building rises from the ground like a bamboo, a symbol of everlasting strength in Chinese culture. In the section, the shape of a pagoda is recognizable. Taipe 101 Tower rises in 8 modules, a design based on the Chinese lucky number “8”. In cultures that observe a seven-day week the number eight symbolizes a renewal of time (7+1). In cultures where seven is the lucky number, 8 represent 1 better than ‘lucky seven’. Each modue has 8 floors and flares wider t the top. There are 101 floors above the ground and 5 floors underground.

It ’s more challenging to design and build a super-tal building in Taipei than any other location in the world because typhoon winds, large potential earthquakes and weak soil conditions all need to be overcome. A damping system was implemented to reduce the excessive lateral accelerations from wind.

In the time it was build, the height of the Taipei 101 was recordbreaking, previously held by the Petronas Towers with 452 meters. It was the highest building in the world, build in an area with typhoons and earthquakes! The height of 101 floors commemorates the renewal of time: the new century that arrived as the tower was built (100+1) and all the new years that follow (January 1 = 1-01). It symbolizes high ideals by going one better on 100, a traditional number of perfection.


A mega mass demper reduces the effect of wind. The pendulum has a weight of 660.000 kilogram and is situated on the 88th floor. It sways to offset movements in the building caused by strong gusts. Its sphere, the largest damper sphere in the world, consists of 41 circular steel plates. The structure has to be flexible enough to resist an earthquake, and stiff enough to resist a typhoon. Eight mega columns giving the stiffness to the building.


The Taipei 101, formerly known as the Taipei World Financial Center, is a landmark skyscraper located in the Hsinyi Distric of the city, the rapid- growing “Manhattan” of Taipei. This is the future center of financial power in Taiwan. Taipei 101 is owned by the Taipei Financial Center Corporation (TFCC).

Taipei 101 has one of the fastest ascending elevator speed with 1010 meters per minute, which is 16.83 m/s (60.6 km/h). These Toshiba elevators are able to take visitors from the main floor to the observatory on the 89th floor in under 39 seconds.

Taipei 101’s own roof and facade recycled water system meets 20-30 percent of the building’s water needs. Upgrades are currently under way to make Taipei 101 “the world’s tallest green building” by LEED

As said in Correas design n Mumbai, a building has to be oriented east-west to catch prevailing sea breezes and to open up the best views of the city. Hence the Site is designed in such a way that the enclouser of the two tower trap maximum winds from the west to east

The Retail outlet of Taipei 101 are located toward the south where as the Main entrance to the skyscraper is in the shades toward the North-east side.

The Linked Hybrid is mainly based on User oriented planning as well as climatic.

It was clear that the architect has reference to Lecorbusier’s crossover units in Unit habitation in Marseilles in 1952. Correa planned the 3 and 4 bedroom units interlocking with 5 and 6 bedroom units. 3-4 bedroom units occupies on and half level, and 5-6 bedroom units occupies two and half levels. There are small level displacement within the units to differenciate outdoor terrace and indoor living space, dining room and bedrooms and so on. These change of levels hide the living and bed rooms from the heat of sun and rains, while the big opening of balcony could get as much day light as possible.

Plan form basically evolved from the cross ventilation process through the west to east travelling winds of Mumbai Where balconies also gave an artistic impression to the towers "open city within a city". The

project promotes interactive relations and encourages encounters in the public spaces that vary from commercial, residential, and educational to recreational. The entire complex is a three-dimensional urban space in which buildings on the ground, under the ground and over the ground are fused together.

The tower has served as an icon of modern. Taiwan ever since its openingThe building was architecturally created as a symbol of the evolution of technology and Asian tradition. Its postmodernist approach to style incorporates traditional design elements and gives them modern treatments.

• A High-Rise Structure comes out of necessity. Specially in a booming economical center with growing population.

• Most populous cities have most numbers of High rise structures

• It is seen that tallest high rise structures are found in the heart of the city.

• Or a new economic center of any city

• To Understand the type of soil of any site is important to develop a conceptual level structure proposal for any high-rise structure.

• If a high rise structure is oriented studying is climatic conditions its can greatly increase the natural ventilation and light thus reducing the load on HVAC system and lighting system . Thus making it energy efficient.

• Success of Vernacular approach or passive sustainable technology could be easily enhanced by proper orientation

• The user and types of user and there circulation through a 3d urban structure is a very important aspect for orientation of a MIXED-USE HIGH RISE HABITAT.

• It important to design a building which is relevant to the urban fabric of the city it proudly soars the sky of.

• A resilient mixed use cluster development can be an attempt to solve any high density urban space issues

Natural Method

Linked Hybrid’s ground source heat pump system shoulders 70% of the complex’s yearly heating and cooling load. The system consists of 655 geothermal wells, 100 meters below the basement foundation. The underground wells have taken the place of above-ground space normally needed for cooling towers, increasing available green areas, minimizing noise pollution and significantly reducing the

CO2 emissions created by traditional heating/cooling methods.

• Limiting the user to private spaces and allowing free roam in its public spaces both spaces segregated by different levels can be effective to create a mixed use environment

VERTICAL ZONING

• High rise structure can be zoned vertically and the connectivity is an important factor between any two zones

• Service floors, lifts, shafts and staircases are the most important factor governing the daily functionality of any high rise

• 200 meter tall Kohinoor square has a well designed HVAC system for its ventilation purposes. As it’s a glass enveloped structure the load of mechanical ventilation is also high.

• The cooling towers are situated near water tanks at some levels in the buildings

• Natural method of light and ventilation solves these problems at a residential level

• But at commercial level there is a need for mechanical ventilation as there is a continues requirement of larger floor space to work collaboratively together.

• A green approach like in linked hybrid is a very innovative approach to tackle this increasing load on the mechanical system. PRATEEK

Central core • Central core is the heart of

Taipei • It connects all 101 floors

though a number of lifts • The Fastest lift is travelling at

a speed of 1010 m/ min. • That is 16.7 m/s • Travelling though 364 m of

height • The downward speed is 10m/s

Central core • Central core is the heart of

any skyscraper • It must be efficiently designed

in terms of planning as well as cost

• A core holds all the services of a skyscraper hence it contains structural values as well

Refuge Floors At 11th floor the first refuge floor is provided DCR RULE In case of high-rise bldg. more than 30 m then first refuge floor shall be provided at 24 m or first habitable floor whichever is higher. Thereafter at every seventh habitable floor.

• A refuge floor is very important for the safety of people living in a high rise structure

• In case of high-rise bldg. More than 30 m then first refuge floor shall be provided at 24 m or first habitable floor whichever is higher. Thereafter at every seventh habitable floor.

• Refuge floors • Which is 4% area of the habitable zone
