Reference number:
AP206.S1.1996.PR02
Description:
This project series documents an extension to a public school in sector 7B in Chandigarh in 1996. The project consisted of a rectangular extension that held classrooms and was connected to the existing building through a square lobby. Above the ground floor, the lobby volume acted as a covered passageway to move between buildings. It is not evident whether this extension was ever built. The project is recorded through plans, elevations and sections dating from 1996.

Description:
This project series documents Aditya Prakash's proposal for an alternative plan for Chandigarh, India, which came to be known as the Linear City. Prakash began developing and advocating for this idea around the early 1970s. The Linear City had two fundamental ideas at its core. The first was to raise the roadways in Chandigarh (or any future city) 10-12 feet from ground level. This, he proposed, would separate vehicular traffic from pedestrians, eliminating all the hazardous impacts of traffic on daily life. The large part of the drawings for this project show sector plans and city blocks with evenly dispersed roundabout roadways as major transit hubs, wrapping around but high above centres of pedestrian activity that included shops, markets and green spaces. The sale of the land below the roadways would pay for the upheaval. He also recommended building this city only a few sectors deep, but endlessly expanding it length-wise, with a raised canal along one side to provide an additional transpiration network and irrigation. The second fundamental idea of this city was the creation of self-sustaining sectors in the city plan, advocating that each neighbourhood should have the infrastructure to provide food and recycling for its residents. He fervently argued for the reimagination of modernist Chandigarh by incorporating sustainable, local traditions - the rural should exist in harmony with the urban. In opposition to Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, he believed areas for recycling, animal husbandry, and growing food should be incorporated into the fabric of the city.[1] This project is recorded largely through original drawings of city plans, perspectives and axonometric views detailing Prakash's new vision for the city. It seems that many of the perspectives were drawn by family friend Sandeep Virmani, after listening to Prakash's ideas.[2] The project is also recorded through photographs, negatives and slides showing plans and the project model. A small amount of notes and an article on the project are also included.

Description:
This project series documents an art gallery for Sohan Qadri in Chachoke, India around 1996. Chachoke may refer to a town in India or the village of Chachoki in Phagwara, India. This project proposed a circular, tent-like structure with a roof that curved up to meet a round globe at its centre. A circular office volume was attached to the main gallery. The project is recorded through a plan and a section, likely dating from around 1996.
