Social Life

Preamble of Indian Constitution

WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens:JUSTICE, social, economic and political;LIBERTY, of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;EQUALITY of status and of opportunity;and to promote among them allFRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation

So as an architect it is our duty to improve fraternity or social life through architecture

• If we accept the high rise buildings are need for cities then we should think how we can improve social life in that.

• Now a days we all get familiar with the closed door at the end of staircase system.

• No matter if we as an architect provide a garden or club house at the ground floor, but still there is lots of lacking in social life.this need to be change in some other way.

• We the architects are responsible for what is happening in high rise system. If we don’t do something now then the link of humanity will get vanish and we will left with only high rise highly posh building with unknown faces which we will see every day in lifts and parking and without humanity.

• So in this dissertation I will try and find out the way we can add life in that system also like in bungalow society 1)We get our outside are in front of main door where we plant the trees where we place some seating’s and neighborhood people come and chat with us in spare time. 2) We get character to our house not only main door. 3) We get front window by which get connect to house in front and road. 4) That tar road is also plays most important role in this system on that road only gully cricket, holi, diwali, ganpati, dasara and many other festivals happen. In highly polish verified tile in front of our main door can’t play that role. These and lots of other things we miss in high rise system

To find out parameters of improving social life in multistory residential buildings

Aim

Scope and limitations•The study includes residential building but If any commercial (retail) shop is helping to improve any social life then it will be considered

•The study will not include planning of dwelling units, but its outer space will be considered like if it have any space for interaction or not etc.

•. If we talk about scale then it will not be single building society but it will be cluster of buildings with amenities (gated community) of 1 – 60 hectors.

ReferencesI will study society or cluster of different housing both traditional and new. Then I will take interviews from Peoples, Builder, and Architect about this, collect their view. Then I will study about some architects or builders who does something for improving social life in any ways. By taking their interview, studying their plan, sections and going on site to see what is really happening. If possible talk with people living there.

MethodologyStep 1- Book study -Pattern language -Housing in India -The housing design handbook -Techniques & architecture Step 2- To make questioner for people, architect, builder. And get fill that with maximum possible people. Step 3-To identify housing projects in which social life is good, getting plan, sections of that project and study them. Step 4- By all this study make list of needs of people, what they want in society for improving social life.
