Technology.

The teaching methodology adopted was as follows:

The different aids of teaching used were power point presentations, site visits, model

making etc.

Architecture cannot be studied within the four walls of

studio and practical knowledge is must. Looking at this

arranged different site visits under various subjects like

Design, Construction, Building Services etc. as and

when required.

To see how different Architects handle designing of their projects, held workshops with

famous practicing architects in the Design studio.

PREPARATION OF STUDY MODELS

Carpentary Joints, Timber Floors, Types of bricks,

Attached and detached Piers, Sliding and Folding Door

and Northlight truss.

Fig: Study models of Carpentry Joints, Timber Floors, Types of bricks, Attached and detached

Piers, Sliding & Folding Door and North light truss.

One of the methods of teaching in design studios is holding workshops with famous

architects so that the students get aquainted with the way they deal with any architecture

design project and the methodology adopted by them.

Design workshop with Ar. Sanjay Patil from Nasik on “Vanita Vishwa”,

( A Rehabilitation Centre for Women), on 4th

to 7th

Feb. 2013. Today’s

burning issue is related to women and their life. To address this issue

through design, the workshop was organized. It was expected that

through this workshop, students would become aware of this

interrelationship and would try to resolve this through conducive

environment.

Workshop on ”Climate Responsive Architecture” for V Semester students was conducted by Dr.

Kiran Shinde & Ar. Sanchi Jain, from Bhartiya Vidyapeeth Pune during 29th

July to 2nd

Aug

2013. The workshop was a part of the Climate responsive IIA Office design project.

BUILDING SERVICES INCHARGE

My subject of interest is Building Services and I am heading Building services department in the

Institute under the able guidance of Ar. Gurunath Modak. I am involved in the teaching of this

subject since last 15 years of my teaching career and have taken it further by doing research on

the related topics of Fire safety at post-graduate and doctoral level.

The policy for Building Services has been made with its identified Aim, Objectives and its need.

Policy for Building Services

Aim: To make the students aware of the importance, installation and working of essential

services in building and a way building services help in generating healthier and cleaner built

environment.

The need for a policy for building services was felt as:

Effective working of any building is possible only with proper and correctly designed

services in the building.

Precisely interpret appropriate application and performance of service system in single

and multistoried building.

The policy for services focuses on

Sequential introduction of complexity of services involved in buildings.

Assess, select and integrate a particular service with other services in building design and

site planning.

Preparation of technically precise drawings and draw outline specifications of the latest

techniques and materials used in services.

Objective:

To acquaint the students with all the services starting from basic building services to

complex ones like introduction of water supply and sanitation in single storey residence

to Fire safety, Air Conditioning and Building Automation in multistoried buildings.

To familiarize the students with IS codes related to services.

Thus, the policy ensures and emphasizes on the introduction of all the services in building step

by step as per its complexity and its integration in building design and its structural systems.

Strategies:

Contents of subject will be developed on the basis of the services policy of the institute.

Integrating basic principles of services with design studios to give it a practical aspect

under the supervision of services team.

ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT UNDER BUILDING SERVICES: SESSION 2017-18

i. INAUGURATION OF RAIN WATER HARVESTING PROJECT AND

UPLOADING BLOGS ON FACEBOOK PAGE- 5th Aug 2017

The semester started with a grand success of inaugural

function of uploading blogs on FB page and Rain water

Harvesting project by Mayor, Mrs. Nandatai Jichkar. Mrs.

Jichkar explained the importance of rain water harvesting to

the audience and the initiatives taken by NMC for the same

in her speech. Principal, Dr. Ujwala Chakradeo posted the

first blog on the Importance of Building Services. She also

highlighted the projects undertaken by the college. The

Department of building Services SMMCA, works with the aim to make the students aware of the

importance, installation and working of essential services in building and a way building services

help in generating healthier and cleaner built environment.

The program was followed by presentation by Mr. Shrivallabh Kothe of Sujalam consulatants on

rain water harvesting.

ii. RAIN WATER HARVESTING PROJECT

As a part of our policy and social responsibility, we try to provide some services to some

unprivileged school by adopting it. This time a proposal and implementation of rain water

harvesting is selected for a Government School. After having a theoretical lecture by Kothe sir

on RWH, students are now required to implement. Half the students have done the study for the

school and rest of them have done for the college. Students were divided in groups and they

carried out the water audit for both the sites. Calculations regarding the number of down take

pipes, terrace area, slope, location and size of recharge pit, transmission pipes, etc. has been

done. The project would be executed in the holidays and this activity would be carried out by

students right from digging, laying of pipes, jointing etc. This would give them a holistic idea of

plumbing and a sensitive approach towards Building Services.

iii. SITE VISIT- AASHIRWAD PIPES, BANGLORE- 17th Aug 2017.

The team of Department of Building services-SMMCA

visited the manufacturing plant of Aashirwad Pipes to

have a close look of the process and the latest trends in

the plumbing industry. The visit was very fruitful as we

gained knowledge of the raw materials and their

proportions for making pipes, their manufacturing

process (right from pouring the liquid, the moulding in controlled temperature, and the finished

product were seen in detail), recycling process, the jointing techniques, the testing of pipes and

other fittings. New techniques of jointing – Push-fit and Sol-fit were introduced. The working of

different traps was also studied. The RnD department of the industry is also very active they

continuously work upon the issues and new materials. Overall the visit was very productive and

fruitful.

iv. GUEST LECTURE ON SOLAR POWER- 31st Sept

2017

With the rapid progression of sustainability and green concept, it is the need of the hour that

significance of Solar power in architecture should be introduced at initial design levels. So, a

guest lecture by Mr. Vivek Bhore was organised for third years wherein he addressed today’s

demand of solar energy and how it can applied architecturally. Students are now well versed with

the designing and calculations part of it. Some of them attempted to provide designs

incorporating solar panels in their major design project.

v. REDEVELOPMENT OF SEWAGE LAYOUT FOR A SLUM

As a part of Silver Jubilee celebrations of outreaching the

society the Services department undertook a live project of

Redevelopment of Sanitary layout of an existing slum of

the city. The slum identified was Kachipura slum. The

objective of the exercise was to make the students

understand and identify the problems of the existing

sanitation of the layout. Students spent almost a day in the

slum and plotted the development and carried out surveys. They documented the existing

drainage lines, drainage outlets and other facilities. Rigorous discussions were done on possible

locations of septic tanks, inspection chambers, manholes, slopes, invert levels etc. Finally, the

students came up with a workable plan and a report is prepared for the same.

The proposals will be submitted to NMC for further action.

vi. EXPERT LECTURE IN OTHER INSTITUTES/ ORGANISATIONS

a. PLUMBERS’ TRAINING WORKSHOP

In architectural practice, it is observed that the

plumbing practices are totally dependent on the

plumber. There is a communication gap between the

plumber and the architect which affects the plumbing

services on any site very badly. Hence, an interactive

session was carried out to reach out maximum plumbers

all over the city and impart them the right plumbing practices. The services team discussed

certain issues and common mistakes that are usually done on site. All of them demonstrated the

right practices and a display of latest fittings was available. The discussion ended with a question

answer session. This program helped to bridge the gap between the plumbers and the architects

and changed their approach of working on site. This also helps the client to build a trust on the

architect and also entitles the architect to prepare detailed drawings.

b. GUEST LECTURE IN SDMCA

Series of guest lectures were delivered in Shri. Datta Meghe College of Architecture by

Prof. Pratima Dhoke. She was invited to talk on topics like Building Automation,

Communication Services and Security and Surveillance in buildings.

c. INTRODUCTION OF SERVICES TO I YEAR STUDENTS

The first years students were introduced to the basics of toilet layout in which the concept of

dry area wet area was explained to them .The locations of the fittings and fixtures with their

standard dimensions with types were explained to them. Various layouts were worked upon,

toilet drop in section, ventilation location, door opening etc. were taken into consideration. The

session was conducted as a part of integration of Design and Services and was carried out by Ar.

Priyanka Sambare.

vii. FIRE POLICY FOR LAD HOSTEL, SEMINARY HILLS

In addition to the regular class work we also worked upon Fire Policy for our Hostel. The

students did the audit of the hostel and marked down the risky areas on the plan. They listed

down various causes of fire in the campus and accordingly suggested the types of extinguishers

and materials required. They also calculated the evacuation time required for them from topmost

floor in case of emergency. By doing such activities they could generate the evacuation route and

other requirements like nearest staircase etc. in the existing plan and gave a proposal of Fire

Policy for the hostel.

viii. EVACUATION PLAN FOR SHRINIVAS PUBLIC SCHOOL

The Department of Building Services submitted an evacuation plan for the WES, Shrinivas

Public school as a part of Design Cell. The drawing includes all the facilities provided for Fire

safety and the circulation plan for evacuation in case of emergency. It also included the positions

and number of extinguishers, fire alarm, hooter, refuge areas and meeting points. The drawing

was prepared by Ar. Anuradha Bhute and Ar. Mrinmayee Tiwari under the guidance of Ar.

Gurunath Modak.

ix. INTEGRATED DESIGN SOLUTIONS

II YEAR- 3rd & 4th Sem
