ADAPTIVE REUSE :
~ Adaptive reuse refers to the process of reusing an existing
building for a purpose other than which it was originally
built or designed for.
~ It is also known as recycling and conversion.
~ Adaptive reuse is defined as the aesthetic process that
adapts buildings for new uses while retaining their
historic features.

WHY ADAPTIVE REUSE :

~ It offers a chance to encapsulate the past design ideas while moving forward with modern day ideas.
~ It serves as a conduit between the established and the experimental.
~ It bring up a dialogue between the age old design methods and current ideas in science, philosophy,architecture and
technology.

PRINCIPLES OF ADAPTIVE REUSE :

~ Redesign building should perform well as per the functional requirement.
~ Should adapt changes and alterations done and should create connect to the new users.
~ Should create a visual statement by providing visual coherence and please users and passers-by
~ Be sustainable, least-polluting, energy efficient, easily accessible and have a minimum environmental impact.
CASE STUDY :
Adaptive reuse and restoration of a Chettinadu mansion, Pudukottai, Tamil Nadu, India

~ The reuse of a heritage or existing building

becomes necessary for its social, economic and
cultural sustainability.
~ One such historic building, ‘Chidambara Vilas’ at
Chettinadu region, Pudukottai, Tamil Nadu, India is
a 110 year old palatial mansion once a residence of
a Nattukottai Chettiars, today turned in to a
heritage hotel.
~ The restoration of this structure is done as per the
guidelines with ethics of conservation.
~ The character of the facade done in two different Original mansion plans

era blends its architectural identity as projecting
one entity.
~ A 5 year old extension uses finishes, materials and details similar to that of the century old mansion and the difference
between the two cannot be seen with naked ayes or felt until scrutinized with very minute detail.
~ The newly introduced functions for the old space gives due respect to the traditional usage of space.
~ The newly introduced spaces with modern amenities are incorporated with respect to the old structure as well as to the
historic fabric.
 ADVANTAGES OF ADAPTIVE REUSE :
~ It is believed that old buildings were made with better grade of construction materials as compared to the latest construction
material that is why a longer life span have.
~ Moreover, older building consists of generally strong building envelope which maintains proper heating and cooling,
numerous windows helps to create proper ventilation and many other factors helps to achieve energy efficiency.
~ The benefits of reuse projects also include social factors such as rejuvenating the historical and cultural values of a building.
~ Older buildings have the ability to create urban character and ‘sense of a place’.

IMPACT OF ADAPTIVE REUSE ON SURROUNDING :

~ The structure which can be adopted and reused should have a greater impact of the surrounding.
~ These sites are known as brownfields instead of Greenfields due to the fact that they may contain chemical contamination; it
is necessary to deal with this problem before the structures can be put to demolition or the most common residential or
commercial use.
~ A successful adaptive reuse project can offer growth and also bring historical tourism to its city and new life to
its neighbourhood.

SMART STREETS DESIGN
INTRODUCTION :
Pune is India’s seventh-most populated city and the second-largest in Maharashtra state.

About Pune Municipal Corporation & Pune Smart City Development Corporation Limited:
Pune aims to become India’s most livable city by capitalizing on its rich cultural and natural heritage, strong human capital, and
vibrant employment market by solving its major infrastructural challenges in a “Future-Proof” way.

Smart Streets
Streets perform certain basic functions in the built environment such as providing routes for vehicles and public transport, and
accommodating utility services and drainage systems.

Significance of the Project

The Smart Street project serves as a place for social interaction and better walkability.

Aim and Objectives

a. To realize the true potential of the Smart Street Project.
b. To study the level of satisfaction that the citizens feel about the initiatives in these areas.
c. To assess the positive and negative impact of the project.
d. To give recommendations towards such initiatives taken by the Government of India.

Key features of the project

i. Walkability with equity and dignity, to facilitate uninterrupted movement.
ii. Universal Accessibility as per the Act, for the persons with disabilities to ensure their safe passage.
iii. Cycle-friendly-Safe-Environment, by a dedicated and demarcated right of way for the cyclists.
iv. ‘Hawker’s and Vendor’s policy as per the Act, to restore the vibrancy and eyes of the streets.
v. Public transport at the neighborhood level to maintain connectivity and ease of access.
vi. Organized parking with a policy that initiates paid parking and results in revenue generation.
vii. Public realm that is people friendly by conserving green cover, providing seating and street lights.
viii. Technology to incorporate free Wi-Fi, CCTV cameras for surveillance, sensors and traffic count.

Features and Benefits (social, technical, city administration level, impact on environment and economy) to the city (expected
and observed)
a. New & retrofitted footpaths along with curb ramps increases walkability.
b. Walkability is improved with smart streets which promotes shopping and supports businesses.
c. The elderly, children and persons with disabilities are all better served with smart street design that allows them to safely get
around.
d. Air quality will improve as people choose to walk or bicycle rather than drive for short trips.
e. Walking and riding a bicycle are a great way to exercise. Smart streets provide improved access for pedestrian activities.

Parihar Chowk (S1 A) Baner Phata (S4)
Conclusion :
Pune is India’s leading example in the field of sustainable transportation, particularly in terms of transforming streets into
dynamic public spaces.
Findings of the study shows that most of the respondents were satisfied with the smart city initiatives taken up in their area,
which were as per the way they had envisaged the construction quality used in the execution of project was good.
Some of the respondents also mentioned certain initiatives like beautification of roads, Smart Public Bicycle Sharing as great
initiatives undertaken in the Smart City.
However, other respondents were not satisfied because of the delay in execution work, parking
of vehicles, slow pace of work, theft of cycles, etc.

Not only does ICCC management comprehend the entire
scenario but people on the ground are also kept up-to-date on
the status of other teams and resources.
This unified picture of status and events minimizes
misunderstandings and allows for much faster and more
effective decision making. Departments are now better
equipped to deploy proper assets, resulting in maximum
reduction in response time.
City authorities may now prioritise and deploy emergency
resources based on their understanding of how complicated
and/or how.
