Building anew in old quarters of historic districts is a challenge. More so especially if the city is Lucknow, the capital of the Awadh Empire then and the capital of India\u2019s most populous state, Uttar Pradesh now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Fourth Year Architectural Design Studio \u201cHousing in Quaiserbagh\u201d picked up this Architectural Challenge of creating a neighbourhood that encapsulated all the traditional values, the sense of community, that the older habitats provided and at same time enabling a contemporary style of living. The Housing was to be designed to accommodate a cross section of the social strata. It would consist of Units for singles, couples, family, extended families; and also \u2018shop-house\u2019 units where housing is enmeshed with a commercial aspect to it – something quite prevalent in the historic districts of Lucknow. It also consisted of a community space whereby the students could choose the kind of space they want to design based on their understanding of the city and its requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Design aims at redefining the traditional architectural elements by designing them in a modern way. Considering the idea of traditional forts and palaces having a huge central courtyard at the entrance, the Nagar Nigam is divided into 3 zones: Public, Private, and Semi-Private with a maximum visual connection between them. The rhythm of having continuous jaali on the facade in traditional architecture is designed in a modern way that facilitates daylight to all the interior public spaces and offices and provides views towards the surroundings and the central courtyard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2749,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[125],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academics"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.ies.edu\/architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/featured-image-sem-2-1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ies.edu\/architecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ies.edu\/architecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ies.edu\/architecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ies.edu\/architecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ies.edu\/architecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ies.edu\/architecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2740\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ies.edu\/architecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2749"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ies.edu\/architecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ies.edu\/architecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ies.edu\/architecture\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
