Destination Patiala
The Design Concept presented in this document illustrates the direction
taken by the Design Consultancy headed by Siddhartha Das, New Delhi.
While it attempts to reflect a comprehensive approach, it is not exhaustive,
which it will be at the stage of the submission of Design Detailing
document.
The design in all cases is in harmony with its setting, without attempting
to be futuristic or superficially modernistic in its approach. It isintentionally understated and modern, aiming to furthering a visitors
experience at the developed heritage site. All the elements of street
furniture, heritage signage and information kiosk, come together to do
this, each is an individual element and yet has a synergy that binds it all
together as a heritage site in Punjab. They draw on the elements of the
heritage sites without becoming caricaturist illustrations of it.
While there are are some site-specific variations, all attampts have beenmade to create a style that would bind all such sites in Punjab harmoniously
together.

Furniture Design
Outdoor Benches
Material Considerations
Easy to transport
Possibility to produce on site
Climatic considerations for choice of material and
by way of design Low or no-maintainance (aging with grace and dignity!)
Two varieties of sandstones, forest brown and teak sandstones, and
reinforced concrete (RCC) have been choosen for the benches. The two
varieties of sandstones have very organic grains and lend themselves
evocatively to the gardens and monuments here and elsewhere.
The cement benches are cast with wood shuttering and other moulds
which give a more tactile and organic feel to this industral matieral.
Design Features
Benches with simple forms have been designed in a way that would suit
Rambagh and more generically other heritage sites in Amritsar, Patiala
and elsewhere in Punjab.
Simple and minimalistic, without being simplistic
Humane by way of tactility and organic forms, being almost lyrical
Edges are often rounded to avoid chipping or fractured edges
The flat top benches allow people to sit on it from both sides
The design takes into account cost & installation aspects
The benches will be configured in the garden & other sites allowing
individuals privacy, while at the same time allowing small and largergroups to make the most of the developed public spaces. With this in
mind the benches are laid out sometimes individually and radially.Left: Teak sandstoneRight: Forest brownsandstoneBoth available fromquarries in Rajasthanand can be producedeconomically in the

Waste Bins
These bins would be made from mild steel sheets. The pipe support
structure also acts as the pivot. Perforations have been introduced
keeping in mind security concerns. The perforation pattern is
reminiscent of a detail that often occurs on the emblished arches
found in the Anglo-Sikh architecture. The design allows easy
despencing and cleaning.

This railing design is derived by repeating arch forms, with the
corner structural posts mounted with railing caps, reminiscent
of architectural motifs

Bollards + Signage
This variation of bollards in brick is reminiscent of the Anglo-Sikh brick
architecture. It may occasionally have lights embedded in it (shown here
in grey) and signs.
These signs may be directional or informative signs, and may be
sandblasted on stone or vitified tiles, or glazed on the latter.

Heritage Signage
Introductory Site Singage
Variation 1: VerticalThe Sign(s) that introduce the site to
visitors. These may be located at all
the key entrances to the site or only
the main entrance as may be
deemed necessary as the project
develops.

Design by Siddhartha Das
There are two variations, one vertical and the other almost horizontal.In both cases, the sign may be executed on either stone
or tile, and mounted on a concrete support. The material and colours
follow the design language of the street furniture, together in harmony
of the Garden and heritage sites.
The outdoor halogen light fixture may be integral to the signage
structure as shown here. The grey plane in represents the ground, with
the concrete support or foundation below it.
Heritage Signage
Introductory Site Singage
Variation 2: Horizontal
This (almost) horizontal sign also executed on either stone or tile, and
mounted on a concrete support. The sign is constructed at an angle,
facilitating easy reading and allowing water and rubbish to slide off
rather than collect on it.
The semi-circular niche at the bottom of the sign allows the visitor to
come close to the sign.

Singage for Plants
Variation 1: Horizontal
This almost horizontal executed on a
tile, may either be sandblasted or
glazed. The sign is constructed at an
angle, facilitating easy reading and
allowing water and rubbish to slide offrather than collect on it. The sign with
its concrete support structure is a mere
foot above gfround so as to not create
a visual clutter and be more of a
discovery for a visitor who may come
close to the particular tree or plant.

Singage for Parking
The Parking signs outside do not
try to imitate the style of the
heritage signs on the site, but
follow the tenets laid down by the
Indian Road Congress. The signs
are pole mounted signs, groutedinto a concrete foundation

Signage
Cautionary + Prohibitory SingageThese signs outside do not try to imitate thestyle of the heritage signs on the site, and are
different in nature as they are to be seen by
visitors so as to caution them in advance. The
heights have been adjusted so as to not create
visual clutter. The signs are pole mounted
signs, grouted into a concrete foundation, a
sysytem (with components) identical to that of
the Parking signs which would located outside
the site.

Information Kiosk
The information kiosk can be made either as small permanent structure
or as a complete knock-down one. This 3m x 3m kiosk would be
located on a 5m x 5m (25 sqm.) concrete plinth. The kiosk consists of
two main components:
1. Display & service counter
2. Storage & display shelving
This is housed in a structure with a single door that rests on a rollerallowing it to swivel and we pushed back by the side wall. A simple
tensile canopy shades the entire plinth surrounding the kiosk.
The kiosk can be serviced by two personnel. The angular front of the
counter allows a visitor to stand close to it. The two levelled counter
allows the personnel to segragate material for display from the material
that may need to be used by them.
It may be noted that the two components listed above could be housed
in a heritage structure at the site too.
