The Starboard, Mumbai

An “icon” is defined as an important and enduring

symbol. Mumbai has a few, the Victoria Terminus,

Gateway of India, and The Taj Mahal Hotel. All were

built in beginning of the last century but none is

pertinent to Mumbai's current aspirations. The city

of twenty million people which runs the economy of

the country and never sleeps, needs an icon that

reflects the city’s current state of mind. As a

designer, I believe an icon is something that can be

unmistakably identified and related to its context.

Most of the well-known icons of the world can be

simply drawn using three or fewer lines. My new

luxury hotel for Mumbai, The Starboard, also had to

do the same.

The hotel is made up of two rhombuses- one rising

up 70 floors to 300m (984 feet), and one that stops

at 51 floors- two squares, while twisting into and

leaning against each other. There is an atrium that

rises up from ground level to the 30th floor. The

Podium level of the building has lawns rising up

and growing out of the ground, almost appearing

to peel off old building facades and letting the

tower rise up to the sky.

The Starboard will have 427 rooms, (almost 40 of

which are large suites), 3 restaurants, a nightclub,

spa and pool, shopping arcade, banquet rooms

and a patisserie. The rooms, each of which is

individual, with all the luxuries needed by a

traveller, will showcase the city, while the hotel is

showcased by the city. A personal closet service is

provided to guests who frequent the hotel, in which

the guest can leave their closet in the hotel, and on

return, will have their clothes neatly pressed and

ready in the room, along with the wine and cheese

they like, or anything else they wish to have.

The rooftop restaurant provides 360 degree views

of the city. Here you can enjoy the bay, the island

city, the hinterland, or the Arabian Sea, all from one

point- the highest in the city. The nightclub features

three dance floors and a lounge. The café on the

ground floor serves food round the clock, and its

kitchen will serve room service at any time. The

banquet rooms can hold up to 2000 persons, and

can be sub-divided into three spaces.

The high-rise is clad on the north and south in

stone, with openings for balconies and exit stair

windows. The east and west faces are all low-E,

double paned, laminated glass. The ground floor is

mainly concerned with the banquet and conference

facilities, and all the service required by a hotel of

this magnitude. There is an additional mezzanine

level hidden from public view to provide service to

the hotel. Water supply to the hotel is through a

Hydro-pneumatic system to carry water to the

building. Every 8-floors there is a rainwater

retention tank that filters the rainwater to be used

for flushing. The sewage from the building is taken

to an on-site screw-driven sewage treatment plant

that is shared between the cruise terminal,

museum, and hotel, and provides for water and

compost for the lawn and landscaped areas.

Fire-fighting is facilitated by two Dry-risers that run

through the building and support hose-and-reels

on each mid-landing in the stairwells; there is also a

sprinkler system throughout. The hotel will be

cooled by a chilled water cooling plant located on

the ground level, while chillers run cold water up

lines to the hotel rooms and lobbies. The plant itself

will also be water cooled with external cooling

towers, water for which will be pumped out of the

ground. The lobbies of every eight floors will be

cooled using a single AHU. Each room will be

cooled using a Fan-Coil unit that can be controlled

through the room itself. The hot water for plumbing

as well as reheating is provided by boilers placed

every eight floors. Condensate will also be taken

into the grey-water tanks every eight floors.

The building has eight elevator shafts. Each

elevator serves a variable set of floors, six out of the

eight can be used as a means of egress. The service

elevators have double decks per shaft to maximize

use, as well as to use the lower double-floor service

effectively. Laundry shafts go down eight floors with

a break, laundry is then carted down to the laundry

room. The lowest level will have a fire and building

control room, that will control all of the vital

functions of the building remotely.

The Hotel will have parking for 896 cars, spread

over seven levels, three of them underground, the

underground levels will have a forced mechanical

ventilation system.

I have proposed a flat plate construction with

several core shear walls, with intermediate columns

as a structural system. Reinforced concrete is used

up to the 51st floor, the rest of the building is

constructed with structural steel up to the 70th floor.

Mumbai has seen several sea changes in its 300-

year history. Every pivotal change has a lot to do

with how a society builds. Mumbai no longer wants

to be entrapped in the applied ornament; it is

moving towards the inherent ornament. The

Starboard aspires to be such a building, that will

spawn a revival of the eastern seaboard, and will

support the other buildings on site. It will be a

landmark and, I hope, an icon.

You use "um" to fill in the space between your points. Need much stronger eye contact with audience.

You're married to the monitor and screen. I'd guess it was at least 4 minutes before you got to your

building. For such a major structure, that's too delayed. Why did you chose to have them twist and

collide? Explain. I suggest more rehearsal; the presentation as a whole was not organized in a way that

allowed us to implicitly understand what ideas, choices, parts were more important than others. -MW

Structures Seminar

Greg Brickey, PE; SE

In the Structures seminar, the theory and concepts of architectural structures were presented with a visual and calculation based format to emphasize an intuitive comprehension of the fundamental principles of structural behaviour including loading, shear and bending moments and constructability. We started off by describing ourselves with one adjective and then finding buildings to match our adjective.

This class was a great refresher course for me in structures, it also helped me understand some concepts I had previously not grasped clearly.

Exploratory Architecture

I, Pranav Naik, am an “Exploratory” person. At the

outset, I would like to state that the buildings I

present are in a personal bias zone in my mind, and

are explorations, in form, materiality, and structure.

Exploration1: The Sagrada Familia, Barcelona. The 20th century architect Antoni Gaudi, was an

architect far ahead of his time- designing and

building catenary systems with the same masonry

blocks used by neoclassical architects. He used

string with weights, and by flipping the model

upside-down, the finished shapes of the arches

which result would lead to the most efficient

structure. There were elements that came

prefinished – either precast or finely chiselled stone

– that would fit into each other. His arches had a

very thin profile, with brick catenaries being made

only one brick thick. The Sagrada Familia cathedral

is a superb example of the best of his work, and is

still under construction.

Exploration2: Santa Caterina Market, BarcelonaThe Santa Caterina Market is Barcelona's oldest

market, built in 1848. Nearly the entire market was

renovated by Enric Miralles and Benedetta

Tagliabue of EMBT Associated Architects. The very

expressive arc roof, mosaic tiled designed by artist

Toni Comella, displays vivid colors and figures that

represent vegetables and fruit. The columns that

Exploration 3: International Port Terminal,

YokohamaI was first introduced to this building, designed by

FOA while working on my thesis, which was an

International Cruise Terminal. The whole building

undulates, the floor becomes the roof, and vice-

versa. It is a public building with recreation spaces

for the city as well as being an internationalcruise

port, which is unique to this project.

Cosanti Architect: Paolo Soleri

Cosanti is the gallery, studio and residence of Italian-American architect Paolo Soleri. Located in Paradise Valley, Arizona, USA, Cosanti is marked by terraced landscaping and experimental earth-formed concrete structures.

The buildings at Cosanti were designed by Paolo Soleri. Most of these structures were built using the earth casting method or one of Soleri's variations on the technique. Concrete was poured over pre-shaped earthen moulds, and the earth excavated once the concrete solidified. A modified earth casting technique is used to craft the bronze and ceramic wind-bells produced there. Cosanti is an exploration in construction methods.

This assignment was to choose buildings related to our adjectives in the Phoenix valley area.

Biosphere 2

Biosphere 2 is a 3.15-acre structure originally built to be an artificial, materially-closed ecological system in Oracle, Arizona (USA) by Space Biosphere Ventures. It was used to explore the complex web of interactions within life systems in a structure that included five areas based on natural biomes and an agricultural area and human living/working space to study the interactions between humans, farming and technology with the rest of nature. It also explored the possible use of closed biospheres in space colonization, and allowed the study and manipulation of a biosphere without impacting the planet. It remains the largest closed system ever created.

Biosphere 2 contained representative biomes: a 1,900 square meter rainforest, an 850 square meter ocean with a coral reef, a 450 square meter mangrove wetlands, a 1,300 square meter savannah grassland, a 1,400 square meter fog desert, a 2,500 square meter agricultural system, a human habitat, and a below-ground level technical infrastructure. Biosphere 2 is not only a building meant for exploration, it is an exploration in itself, of creating another biosphere inside a building.

The Arabian Library is in the context of suburban ordinariness, the challenge being to build something authentic in the vast generic building-scape.

The Library was inspired by the beautiful slot canyons of Arizona. Full length windows draw in light from the interior courtyard and views of the surrounding mountains are framed. The materials for most of the building are reused, with some materials being used for unusual purposes. The Arabian Library explores the possibility of Architecture drawing in the community and creating its own context, both of which it does well.

Michael P Johnson.

This class dealt with the proportion and unit systems developed by the masters- Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe. We studied plans and sections of their buildings and read them in the form of shapes and proportions. I was expecting this class to be more of a lesson in proportion and scale innately, dealing with proportions of the human body and how three dimensional spaces affect perceived scale. It merely dealt with buildings as we see them from the exterior and was somewhat arbitrary about the choice of buildings we studied.

This class helped me understand the nuances of construction administration in the United States. We also understood some of the newer emerging systems in place and their merits, and deficiencies.

The Construction Document technology class was mostly a lecture based class. The class was divided into four parts:

Ron Geren, B.Arch

Page 45: Taliesin Portfolio 3

The following work was our first assignment for the

CDT (Construction Document Technology) class, in

which we were to find information regarding project

management for a building built within the last five

years in the United states, using one of the following

methods of construction management- Design-Bid-

Build, Construction Manager-at-risk, Design-Build,

and Integrated Project Delivery. I then found

information regarding the management of the

project, and how it was realized.

I chose Encircle Health Ambulatory Care Center,

which is an IPD (Integrated Project Delivery) project as

this method involves all parties working on the

building to collaborate from project inception to

occupation. IPD interests me as I believe it is one of the

most efficient construction methods in use today. IPD

is for sophisticated owners that are willing to

collaborate in an interactive way with the architects,

engineers, and builders. For Architects, it means a

faster timeline as the builder provides cost and design

related feedback that can be passed through the

owner in real-time. For the builders, this means the

contract administration phases go away, and they are

involved in the design and pricing very early. IPD also

makes maximum use of BIM (Building Information

Modeling).

The following paper comprises project description and

data from important sources for the project, including

the AIA's IPD case studies paper, and the Project

Architect's website. The collected information

effectively answers several questions posed by the

Instructor, Ron Geren, AIA. This assignment allowed

me to better understand the chosen project delivery

method.

CDT Assignment 1 | Encircle health ambulatory

care center

“Encircle Health is a three-story, 156,000 square foot ambulatory care center combining physician practices with ancillary diagnostic services, including imaging, radiology, endoscopy, pharmacy, and testing labs,

each of which own an equity stake in the building. It is not a typical medical office building; the design is based on a “pod” concept, where related practices share flexible space and equipment and use a centralized reception office. The circulation system provides a “front stage” and “back stage” whereby patients in gowns are not exposed to public areas. The

Season 3 Portfolio

Construction Document Technology

Page 46: Taliesin Portfolio 3

project was managed by its largest tenant, ThedaCare, a comprehensive regional healthcare organization with considerable construction experience, and a focus on lean operations. ThedaCare and its employed physicians occupy

1approximately two-thirds of the building.”

Owner-defined requirements:

“The facility was required to provide patients in Wisconsin's Fox Valley area with a centralised location for their outpatient healthcare needs. Integrate primary care and specialty care through shared registration and scheduling, electronic medical records, state-of-the-art diagnostics, and ancillary

2services.”

Design/Construction Team Selection

“ThedaCare, acting as owner and program manager, selected the core project team based on existing relationships with HGA and Boldt, and the IPD experience that both firms had acquired with Sutter

3Health, California.”

Development and Design

“The project was completed from start to move-in in 18 months, including 13 months of construction. During five of those months, the coldest winter in recent history compounded the difficulty of achieving such a compressed schedule. A thorough programming process was conducted by HGA, consulting each of the tenant/owners on space and equipment requirements . Boldt and the subcontractors were in attendance at many of these meetings. The design process was highly collaborative between designers and builders. The design-build specialty subcontractors provided design services and acted as the engineers-of-record for their respective disciplines. HGA and its consultants designed systems as single line diagrams plus performance criteria which the subcontractors used as a basis for their designs.

All systems were modelled in 3D. Smaller sub-contractors were selected in the traditional manner with stipulated prices. Although the overall budget was fixed, the flexible process allowed money to be moved between line items, so that each of the major sub-contractors' budgets was in constant flux and decisions could be made based on what was best for the project.

During design the architects were given a detailed spreadsheet of unit costs. They had the freedom to design knowing the real cost of tradeoffs between, for example, using one material over another in a particular space. Because cost information was provided early, architects could make design decisions based on reliable information and did not have to

redesign later for value engineering. There was no tradit ional SD-DD-CD (Schematic-design-construction) issuance of design packages. Delivery of design documents was continuous and directed at what the team felt most needed attention at a particular moment in the process. In addition, the severe weather during much of construction meant that the usual sequence of construction couldn't be followed and the designers were able to adjust.

At a defined point in the process it was agreed that design was finished. All parties and all stakeholders had been consulted and signed off. After that point any significant design adjustment was considered a

4scope change with an impact on the target cost.”

Integrated Project Delivery

“This was the first IPD project for ThedaCare; the architect HGA and builder Boldt Construction had prior IPD experience. The three principal partners had worked together previously, using IPD to optimize project results, increase value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction. As did most of

the major sub-contractors, a factor that everyone believed contributed to the project's success.

The project was not self-funded by ThedaCare; a bank provided lending and it was necessary to persuade the lender and its attorneys that IPD was a viable form of

5project delivery.”

Sub-Contractor Selection

“Mechanical, electrical, plumbing/fire protection, and glazing subcontractors were selected collaboratively by the core team from a short list of three candidate firms in each category. Selection was based on fee proposals and qualifications of committed personnel. All of the firms considered had previous working experience with Boldt. Each of the selected major

subcontractors entered into a “lean partner” relationship with the core team through the use of joining agreements, and all were in place at the start of schematic design. Smaller subcontracts were

6procured in a traditional manner with hard bids.”

What worked well?

· “RFIs were limited to documentation of decisions already reached in the field. This freed the architect to be more hands-on during construction because much of the tedious paperwork and tracking

7was eliminated.”

· “Representatives in the field were empowered 8to make decisions quickly.”

· “Participants at all levels tended to ask 9questions with a range of possible solutions in mind.”

· “The process tended to flatten the hierarchy and put everyone on an equal footing, which was empowering for all and a good stimulus toward

10creative problem-solving.”

What didn't work well?

· Field workers were skeptical of the new process.

· “A more precise method of distinguishing design refinement from scope change from

11contingency item was needed.”

· Several instances in which there was disagreement about who should pay for a particular item. But these were resolved with frank discussion and give-and-take.

Other Features:

“The Facility now has a light-filled atrium, artwork and sculptures from local artists, and extensive views to the outdoors help in enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the Ambulatory Care Center.

Sustainable elements integrated in the hospital facility include: a detailed construction-waste management plan that diverted approximately 75% of jobsite waste from landfills; native plants that maintain erosion control; low-flow plumbing fixtures that reduce water consumption by 30% over standard fixtures; energy-efficient HVAC system that exceeds industry standards by 26%; solar panels that heat approximately 75% of domestic water load; and a dedicated heat-recovery chiller that reclaims heat generated by medical

12equipment.” This project has received a LEED-Gold Certification from the USGBC.

“The project was designed using BIM and the primary computer model was held by Boldt. Each systems subcontractor used its own preferred software platform, which in the case of the sheet metal subcontractor, was used to directly drive CNC

13fabrication equipment.” “Navisworks was used extensively and interactively to detect clashes between systems. By modeling everything, there was a much higher assurance that things would fit and therefore tighter tolerances were possible. Instead of a laborious shop drawing review process, the subcontractors were able to model their own work and build it. In addition to BIM, Boldt maintained a project web site for information exchange open to all

14participants.”

Technical DrawingMichael P. Johnson.

The Technical drawing class was taught by

Michael Johnson- to produce a set of technical

drawings for a Museum located on a small

building site in the City of Phoenix, Arizona. The

design was established in sketch form. The

drawings necessary for the builder to construct the

building were drafted by us using AutoCad. We

had numerous changes in the design, and I felt

the class did not adequately help us understand

how drawings relate to the actual construction of

the structure, as a lot of emphasis was given to

layout, and style of drawing rather than

information and clarity that the drawing would

provide.

Greg Brickey. SE, PE.Structures 2 was a continuation of the structures seminar with emphasis on Steel, Concrete, and other new age materials. This was a great class, and helped me clear my mind and understanding of both structural calculation as well as inherent structure. We also participated in a beam design competition to test our knowledge and understanding of structures.

Field trip to the ISTB 4 building at ASU. We looked at how rebar is tied, and the site prepared for concrete trucks to pour. We also got to talk to a construction manager and understand the process better.

Field trip to Superlite block factory, and rock solid batch mixing plant. We were shown the process of mixing concrete, and the options available to contractors/design professionals. We also saw the process of making various blocks and how we can use different blocks appropriately.

This class was a good starter class in building systems. I learnt about some of the sizing options and code related mandates in the United States. I was expecting the instructor to explain how some of the systems worked. It was also seemingly haphazardly put together.

Building systems

The StarboardAn “Icon” is defined as an important and enduring symbol. Mumbai has a few, the Victoria Terminus, The Gateway of India, and The Taj Mahal Hotel. All built in beginning of the last century. There is nothing pertinent to Mumbai's current aspirations. The city of 20 million people, that runs the economy of the country, and never sleeps needs an icon that reflects a current state of mind. As a designer, I believe an icon is something that can be unmistakably identified, and related to its context. Most of the well-known icons of the world can be simply drawn using three or less lines, not losing the full pivture to the audience. The new luxury hotel for Mumbai- The Starboard, also had to do the same. Hence begins my endeavour to design a luxury hotel that will go on to be a city icon. Something sailors will see while entering port and identify as Mumbai. As the site I have chosen is the same used for my design dissertation for the “International Cruise terminal” – I was faced with the problem of relating the seductive sail-boat like shapes of the cruise terminal and museum to the Starboard. I did not want the hotel to be pulled into the aesthetic of those buildings, nor did I want it to stand apart and be a separate entity. After all, it is the same architect. I decided to bring in the whirlpool-spiralling geometry into the hotel, simplifying it to two rhombuses, one that rises up 70 floors to 300m (984 feet), and one that stops at 51 floors- two squares, while twisting into and leaning against each other. There is an atrium that rises up from ground level to the 30th floor. The High-rise is clad on the north and south in stone, with openings for balconies and exit stair windows. The east and west faces are all low-E, double paned, laminated glass. A 20m beacon tower rises above the top floor, which is at 300m, to provide for aircraft warning, as well as lightning protection.The ground floor is mainly concerned with the banquet and conference facilities, and all the service required by a hotel of this magnitude. There is an additional mezzanine level hidden from public view to provide service to the hotel. Water supply to the site is through a line running into the site at the north, water from which will be taken into a fire-fighting tank first and then into a holding tank underground for storage onsite, ensuring that the fire-fighting system remains full. The holding tank also feeds the Hydro-pneumatic

water system to carry water to the upper part of the building. Each 8-floors have a rainwater retention tank that filters the rainwater to be used for flushing. The sewage from the building is taken to a screw-driven sewage treatment plant on-site shared between the Cruise terminal, Museum and hotel, and provides for water and compost for landscape.Fire-fighting is through two Dry-risers through the building and support hose-and-reel's on each mid-landing in the stairwells, as also a sprinkler system throughout. Fire hydrants are placed thoughout the greater site.The hotel will be cooled with a chilled water cooling plant, with the plant being on the ground level, while chillers will run cold water up lines to the hotel rooms and lobbies. The plant itself will also be water cooled with external cooling towers, water for which will be pumped out of the ground. 8-floor lobbies will be cooled using a single AHU. Each room will be cooled using a Fan-Coil unit that can be controlled through the room itself. The restaurants and other public areas will have their own AHUs or FCUs. The Hot water for plumbing as well as reheating will be through boilers placed every eight floors so as to not lose heat in transporting the hot water. Condensate will also be taken into the grey-water tanks every eight floors.The building has eight elevator shafts, elevators serve a set of floors each, and 6 out of the 8 can be used as a means of egress. The service elevators have double decks per shaft to maximise use of the shaft, as well as to use the lower double-floor service effectively. Laundry shafts go every eight floors to the service level to be carted down to the laundry room. The Hotel will have parking for 1000 cars, spread over 5 levels, 2-3 of them underground, the underground levels will have a forced mechanical ventilation system to take automobile fumes out and bring fresh air in. They will also have grease traps to reduce petroleum products going into the grey water renewal system.The lowest level will have a fire-control room/building control room, that will control all of the vital functions of the building remotely.Please refer to the schematic drawing for the Mid-point pinup. I have proposed a flat plate construction with several core-shear walls as a structural system that has been approved by Greg Brickey.

Design+Execution | Center table for home

In August, while my Parents were remodeling a part of our flat in Mumbai, they could not find a suitable center table to match the interiors. I decided to design and build one myself, it had to be

Looking Ahead

I would like to thank the Portfolio Review committee for going through my third portfolio, which I hope, successfully encapsulates this season’s work and play. I look forward to my next season at Taliesin, in Spring Green.

I no longer want to work on a capstone as my final project, in Lieu, I will find a suitable Box project. I was not able to get any professional internship experience yet, but hope to work on Architectural practice projects in the coming season.

I am ever thankful to my parents, Neha- my partner, and the entire Taliesin family for another fulfilling, meaningful, creative, and fun season at Taliesin.

Sincerely,

Pranav Naik
