CONTRUCTION METHODS OF NAVKAR
W A L L S - LOAD BEARING WALLS OF 200MM THICK MADE OF HOLLOW FILLER SLAB WITH SAME CONCRETE BLOCKS AND REINFORCEMENT
CONCRETE BLOCKS AT EDGES AND IN BETWEEN WITH 8MM TO 12MM DIA BARS REDUC-
ES THE QUANTITY OF CONCRETE AND COST THAN REGULAR RCC
SLABS COMPARATIVELY LOW.
SLABS - FILLER SLABS OF 200 MM THICK
S T A I R C A S E S- FERRO CEMENT OF ABOUT 40 TO 60 MM THICK
THESE SLENDER 200MM SLABS ACTS AS ITSELF AS A BEAM
L I N T E L S - SLAB BOTTOM IS THE LINTEL THEREBY ELIMINATING THE BEAMS WHICH PROVIDE MORE HEAD
CLEARANCE AND FLEXIBILITY TO GO FOR MEZZANINE FLOORS AT
COMPACT SITES.
S U N S H A D E S, S U N K E N S L A B S - FERRO CEMENT
THE ABOVE MENTIONED TECHNOLOGIES ENABLE IN ACHIEVING COMPACT AND ECONOMICAL
BUILDINGS FERRO CEMENT IS USED FOR STAIRCASES
THE 200MM THICK WALLS PROVIDE MORE FLOOR SPACES, TO GET USE OF THE SPACE UNDER IT BY
BEAM LESS FILLER SLABS PROVIDE MORE HEAD CLEARANCE AND THE FLEXIBILITY TO GO FOR CONSTRUCTING 40 TO 60MM THICK SLIM
MEZZANINE FLOORS, STAIRCASES
40 TO 60MM THICK FERRO CEMENT STAIRCASES TO USE THE SPACE UNDER FOR STORAGE
THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION FOR FERRO
CEMENT IN PUNE RAGES UP TO RS.175 PER
SQUARE FEET INCLUDING LABOR CHARGE
WHICH IS COMPARATIVELY EQUAL TO
THAT OF THE REGULAR WAIST SLAB RCC
STAIRCASE
SINCE A MONOTONOUS FILLER SLABS ARE
USED THE SUNKEN SLABS ARE DONE USING
FERRO CEMENT.
HOLLOW CONCRETE BLOCKS OF DIMENSION 200 by 200 by 400 FOR
REINFORCEMENTS AND CONCRETE ARE
WALLS AND 150 by 200 by 400 FOR
PROVIDED AT JUNCTIONS AND EFFECTIVE
FILLER SLABS ARE USED.
CORNERS TO ADD ADDITIONAL TENSILE AND
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH TO THE 200MM
THICK LOAD BEARING WALLS.
THESE BLOCKS SINCE ARE MADE ON SITE WITH THE HELP OF EGG AN EGG LAYING MACHINE CAN PRODUCE 200
LAYING MACHINE REDUCES TRANSPORTATION COST AND SINCE THE BLOCKS PER DAY.
SAME BLOCKS ARE USED FOR THE FILLER SLABS THE AMOUNT OF
CONCRETE AND REINFORCEMENT BARS ON THE SLABS IS REDUCED
THEREBY REDUCING THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION ON A LARGE
SCALE. NAVKAR ARCHITECTS

AFTER 3 OPTIONS WERE MADE ALREADY.
INSTEAD OF HAVING SPACES WHICH LOOK INTO EACH OTHER THE
SITE DEMANDED SPACES WHICH LOOKS OUTSIDE.
THE WATER BODY BEING LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE GAVE A
PERFECT DIRECTION TO ZONE OUTDOOR SPACES.
NAVKAR ARCHITECTS
SINCE BRICK IS THE MATERIAL THE WALL
THICKNESS IS FIXED TO 9INCH AND SAME
GRID WAS USED TO MAKE TOTALLY A DIF-
FERENT OPTION.
THE GRID IS A 6’ BY 6’ GRID .
THE INITIAL IMAGE OF THE END PROD-
UCT DEMANDED THE SPACES WITHIN THE
HOUSE TO LOOK INTO DIFFERENT DIREC-
TIONS AS ONE KEEPS MOVING IN AND NO
SPECIFIC DIRECTION TO LOOK INTO.
THEREBY A COMPLEX GRID WAS EVOLVED.

THE SAME 6’ BY 6’ GRID IS MADE
SIMPLER AS POSSIBLE. AND BEING
INFLUENCED BY SARABAI HOUSE BY
[Link] COBUSIER ,THE INITIAL IDEA IS TO
HAVE SPACES THAT UNFOLDS ITSELF TO A
SPECIFIC DIRECTION.
INSTEAD OF GIVING A VAST HUGE
CONNECT TO THE NATURE, SPACES ARE
MADE MORE SPECIFIC AND POWERFUL
AND CREATES A CURIOSITY AND SURPRIS-
ES AT EACH THRESHOLD.
KEEPING ALL THIS ON MIND A SIMPLE
SYMMETRICAL GRID IS EVOLVED.
NAVKAR ARCHITECTS
ON ENTRING INTO THE HOUSE ONE GETS
THE GLIMPSE OF THE FAR HORIZONS ALONG
THE SAME AXIS WHICH CREATES A
CURIOSITY.
MOVING ALONG THE SAME AXIS AND CLIMB-
ING ONE STEP NEXT TO LIVING ROOM ONE
ENTERS A SPACE FEELING HE IS GETTING
CLOSE TO NATURE AND THE CURIOSITY
REMAINS REMAINING IN THE SAME AXIS.
KEEPING MOVING IN AHEAD AND GETTING
DOWN ONE STEP SUDDENLY A SURPRISE
COMES WHERE THE HUGE VAST HORIZONS
GETS INTO SIGHT AND THE CURIOSITY IS
BROKEN.
ALONG THIS JOURNEY THE SPACES ARE
LOCATED TO THE SIDES WHERE THE
BEDROOMS ADJACENT TO THE LIVING
ROOM IS DOMINATED BY A THE WIDE
WINDOWS WHICH GOVERNS THE ORIENTA-
TION OF THAT SPACE.
THE DINING AND KITCHEN ARE LOCATED
ADJACENT TO THE STAIRCASES.

THE BEDROOMS AND TOILETS BELOW ARE
STACKED ONE ABOVE THE

LEAVING WAY FOR THE NORTH LIGHT TO
ENTER THE LIVING ROOM.
THE STAIRCASES HITS THE WALLS FROM
WHERE ONE CAN CHOOSE WHICH
DIRECTION HE MUST GO AND EACH
DIRECTION LEADS TO
DIFFERENT KIND OF SPACES.

DEATH OF ARCHITECTURE
FOR THE NATIONAL LEVEL EXPO ABOUT HAPPEN IN SIXTEEN
CITIES ALL OVER INDIA AROUND JANUARY 2018 CERTAIN MANY
ARCHITECTS ARE ABOUT PRESENT A THEIR VIEW ON A CITY FROM
THE PERSPECTIVE OF DEATH OF ARCHITECTURE IN A PANEL SIZING
20FEET BY 4FEET TO THE MAXIMUM.
OUR PERSPECTIVE IS THAT A CITY NEVER DIES .
THERE MIGHT BE HISTORICAL PLACES WITHIN A CITY AND ON THE
CONTRARY THERE MIGHT BE MALLS AND OTHER RECENTLY BUILT
MODERN BUILDINGS BUT WHATEVER COMES AND GOES THE CITY
LIVES.
TO BE MORE SPECIFIC RATHER THAN CAPTURE SOMETHING
ELSE AND TO SAY THAT THIS IS GOOD AND THIS IS BAD ONE CAN
CAPTURE THE LIVING CITY AT ITS CURRENT STATE WITH WHATEVER
IS EXISTING NOT TO DECIDE GOOD OR BAD BUT ENJOY LOOKING AT
IT.
WHILE LOOKING AT THE REPRESENTATION POINT OF VIEW THE
MINIATURE DRAWINGS OF AR. GIRISH DOSHI ARE TAKEN FOR
REFERENCE, STUDIED, UNDERSTOOD AND A STYLE IS EVOLVED
TO CAPTURE THINGS BETTER.
THE GOAL IS TO COMPLETE THE 20’PANEL INTO 5 PARTS OF
4’ EACH WITH THE COMPLETE REPRESENTATION OF PUNE WITH ITS
PAST AND CURRENT EXISTING ICONIC BUILDINGS.
STARTING FROM THE HISTORICAL BUILDINGS, TILL NOW THE
CAPTURED PUBLIC SPACES AND BUILDINGS INCLUDES,
-MANDAI (MARKET)
-ALKA CHOWK (ALKA SQUARE)
-PATALESHWAR TEMPLE COMPLEX
-FERGUSSON COLLEGE ROAD STRETCH .
AND A SAMPLE PANEL WITH THE ROUGHLY COMPOSED
DRAWINGS OF THE ABOVE MENTIONS PLACES AND BUILDINGS WAS
MADE.
