SIGNIFICANCE OF A WATERFRONT IN THE CITY SIGNIFICANCE OF THE WATERFRONT ON ITS CITY
ARCHITECTRE OF MANGALORE • Waterfronts are attractors. Their generous
scale, dramatic geography, and prime location
in many cities give them an obvious urbanistic
prominence. When an urban waterfront is
revitalized, everyone notices. When it is left to
SAINT ALOYSIUS CHAPEL decline, everyone does too.

SULTANBATTERY FORT • A prominent waterfront molds a city's image. It

GUTHU MANE
is no accident that this is often the same image
that frequents the glossy fronts of postcards. A
waterfront is often asked to speak for a city, to
be its face to the world

ARCHITECTURAL PRINCIPLES

AXIS SYMMETRY HEIRARCHY

• When a city undertakes the redevelopment of

its industrial embankments into new public
space, it is a directed attempt to shape its
identity. There is an understanding that the
world is watching.
ARCHITECTURAL FEATUES - LINKED TO LOCAL CLIMATE ANDCULTURE

• Pitched clay roofs to protect from the monsoon rains

• Covered exterior verandas protect from the scorching sun and

provide a cooling spot during rainy season • Whether an attempt to be perceived as
• Use of locally sourced laterite stone blocks are the most suitable
material as it is strong, hard and highly resistant to moisture.
• Wood and bamboo lattices provide additional shade and
screening from the hot sun
LATERITE STONE
• Lime plaster finish is again locally sourced and was abundant
"romantic," "visionary" or "leisurely," the brand
of a city has direct effects on international
status, potential to draw in tourism, ability to
act as a magnet for businesses, and the daily
life of its residents. The efficacy of building and
guiding this image is of great importance to the
success of a city.

 CONCERN
JUSTIFICATION
• MANGALORE, A CITY ON THE WEST COAST OF INDIA HAS IN ITS URGE FOR RAPID URBANIZATION OVERLOOKED CERTAIN CULTURAL AND RECREATIONAL NEEDS
OF THE PEOPLE. THERE IS FELT A NEED FOR SPACES WHERE PEOPLE CAN EXPERIENCE COMFORT, FREEDOM , IDENTITY AND A SENSE OF 'PLACE„

• THE PORT AREA OF MANGALORE IS TODAY A PICTURE OF NEGLECT. IT HAS A GREAT POTENTIAL TO BE DEVELOPED AS AN URBAN RECREATIONAL SPACE. HOW
UNFORTUNATE IS MANGALORE THAT HAS NO PUBLIC ACCESS TO ITS WATERS - THE TWO RIVERS AND THE SEA.

• BUNDER AREA OF MANGALORE, WHICH WAS ONCE THE COMMERCIAL PORT OF THE CITY, IS TODAY IN THE PROCESS OF DECAY AND CONGESTION. THE SITE IS THE
OLD PORT AND ITS OFFICES THAT ARE UNDERUSED, ABANDONED LOCAL GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS AND GODOWNS THAT ARE USED TODAY TO STORE GOODS. .
• WHAT WE EXPERIENCE TODAY IS AN AREA WHOSE HISTORY IS LOST, A RIVER EDGE WITHOUT A TRADITION AND AN EDGE THAT IS PHYSICALLY AND SOCIALLY CUT-
OFF FROM THE REST OF THE DRY.

• THE SCOPE OF THE THESIS INCLUDES THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SEA EDGE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT UNDERUSED AND ABANDONED BUILDINGS . THE INTENTION IS TO
REVITALIZE THE DECAYING BUNDER AREA. THE CITY MANGALORE, OTHERWISE LOCALLY KNOWN AS KODIAL BUNDER IS THE HEADQUARTER OF THE SOUTH
KANARA DISTRICT. IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR THE PORT TO DEVELOP WAS THE MOUTH OF THE TWO RIVERS THAT SECURED THE PORT AND ALSO PROTECTED IT FROM
THE WAVES OF THE SEA. THE CITY IS DENSEST IN THE FLATTER REGION

• .THE SITE BUNDER IS THE DENSEST AND THE MOST CONGESTED AREA OF THE CITY BEING THE WORST HIT VICTIM OF THE DECISION TO SHIFT THE COMMERCIAL PORT
NORTHWARDS TO NEW MANGALORE PORT. ESTABLISHMENTS DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY INVOLVED WITH THE SHIPPING INDUSTRY SHIFTED OUT LEAVING BEHIND
COMMERCIAL SPACESFOR GODOWNS, JUNK YARDS, SPARE PARTS DEALERS AND MOTOR REPAIR SHOPS.THOUGH OTHER WHOLESALE MARKETS EXIST, THE
AVAILABILITY OF GODOWNS AT CHEAPER RENT HAS MADE THIS AREA AN INFORMAL WHOLESALE MARKET. TRUCK TRAFFIC, RESULTING FROM THIS, IS THE MAIN
REASON FOR THE CONGESTION .THE MAIN ISSUE DEALT WITH HERE WAS TO REUSE THIS LOST SPACE; TO REUNITE THE PUBLIC AND ITS WATERBODIES ..
