 TOPIC 3: CATERING INSTITUTE AND SERVICES

INTRODUCTION TO THE SUBJECT

Culinary arts and catering services have not reached the minds society as a
professional career and education. Providing such a project will create a great
opportunity to participate in such culinary events that will help them enhance their
cooking skills, either for personal educations or a professional one. Many opportunities
will take place, such as international culinary events that used to take place outside the
country, will also be possible. These education is not specialized just in how to teach
ways in cooking, but it also concentrates on nutrition, and the chemistry of different
food. Moreover hotel and kitchen management also goes under culinary education.

globalization and India finding its cultural identity, one can easily find the most quick
association being made with Indian Food. Although, there are a number of reputed
Hotel Management Institutes across India, an Institute focused on the culinary art are
very few in number.

AIM

preservation of Indian Cuisine, thereby forming a solid foundation for
India’s cultural relevance

NEED OF THE PROJECT

In order to achieve the above mentioned aim I will start by researching on other
culinary institutes and conducting interviews. This would help me in achieving a level of
understanding regarding the kinds of academic courses, the expected activity zones
and calculate the occupancy requirement for a space.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

The project can be described a world where chefs can study, graduate and work
in the same time. The proposed project is going to be a culinary complex that includes,
a college that teaches a bachelor in culinary arts There is need for looking at this
vocational institute from the point of view of being an art and so lesser focus will be
placed to the administrative section of the institute in comparison to peaking the interest
and senses of students and outsiders.
  Analysis of different types of kitchen spaces provided with service area
 Creation of workshop area for upcoming chefs

School is such a place for real development. This would be the child's first
institute which is responsible for shaping his character and building his future. A
residential school is one where students stay in hostel and pursue their studies. They
live with fellow students.

Some schools offers residence as the option for outstation students, while some
other availing the residence facilities of the school is compulsory.

It is essential that the built environment of the school should be conductive for
learning. design should enhance the environment which supports the creative skills of
the students

COST EFFECTIVE APPROACH

Use in cost effective material is not only concerning economy. the respective cost
are one important consideration

Use of inappropriate building technology and designs is the largest single

contributor to environmental degradation, depletion of natural resources and inequitable
distribution of wealth.

REASON FOR SELECTING PARTICULAR TOPIC

TOPIC 1 : RESETTLEMENT AND REHABILITATION OF SLUM ALONG
COOUM, CHENNAI

INTRODUCTION TO THE SUBJECT

Urbanization is one of the major factors for formation of slums in metro cities of
India. The process by which more and more people leave the countryside to live in cities
is known as Urbanization. It began during the industrial revolution, when workers moved
towards manufacturing hubs in cities to obtain Jobs in factories as agricultural Jobs
became less common.

The eviction and relocation of slums along the banks of Cooum river has
been an issue for a long period of time. However recent evictions carried out by TNSCB
has been a thoughtful topic lately.

Relocating the slum dwellers to households already constructed by TNSCB on

marshy lands and many other grievances Is a discriminatory action.

These communities of the urban poor are the solution to the problem of
environmental degradation in the exploding urban scape of Chennai. However, in an
inversion of logic they are being treated as the primary problem which needs to be
cleared by force so that the river can be restored.

REASON FOR SELECTING PARTICULAR TOPIC

Securing the livelihood of slum dwellers with suitable relocation

AIM

The aim of the project is to accommodate the slum dwellers in appropriate

housing units with suitable relocation site, so that their livelihood is secured.

OBJECTIVES
 Analysing the problems faced by the urban poor due to the relocation and to find
a solution for a better relocation.

The main objective of the field research in Chennai Cooum slums is to assess
the dwellers with proper dwelling units and amenities, so that their livelihood is secured.
The analysis further provides an outline of recommendations to be taken into
consideration in designing a project.

BACKGROUND STUDY:
Organizations that involved in this project

TNSCB - Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board

CRRT - Chennai River Restoration Trust

RAY - Rajiv Awas Yojana

NEED FOR THE PROJECT

Since Chennai has the highest urban population of 4.68 million (13.39% of the
state's urban population). Urbanization can't be avoided. But the negative effect of
urbanization can be minimised.

Most residents of these settlements along the Cooum are daily wage workers
and load men, construction workers, domestic workers and vegetable and flower
vendors. Many are auto rickshaw or transport drivers or employed as cleaners, security
guards, shop assistants and delivery men in the malls or numerous other commercial
establishments located close to their settlements. Proximity is crucial to these
communities as it ensures access to education and health care at affordable costs.
Almost all households facing eviction have close family ties to others in their settlement
and as the average age of these communities is 50 years, they are now fully integrated
members of the social fabric of the community and its surroundings. Most residents
reported that the plight of those who were already resettled in the TNSCB sites at Ezhil
Nagar, Semmancheri and Perumbakkam, had made them keenly aware of the negative
impacts of relocation to distant places on their livelinoods. In this regard, they were
particular that if they were to be resettled, then it should be in areas that were not too far
away from their current places of work.

In the light of the above, solutions to relocate those dwellers within a radius of
3km from their existing settlements should be explored in full, so that the serious
detrimental impacts of not only suburban resettlement but also divisive relocation can
be averted.

Relocating squatter settlements (slums) from the Cooum in the city to the TNSCB
sites on the periphery - Perumbakkam, Semmancheri, Ezhil Nagar and Padappai and
Gudapakkam - averaging 26 to 30 km distant, effectively segregating and making them
invisible to the rest of the city and ghettoizing hundreds of communities with histories of
diverse origins, length of stay in the city, livelinood and socio-cultural links specific to
their neighbourhoods, painstakingly built-up over the last three generations.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

AS ACCORDANCE TO DARASHAW REPORT

 Land required for slum dwellers

 darashaw as consultant to prepare the slum free city plan of

action for chennai city under rajiv avas yojana in 2010.

IDENTIFICATION OF CASE STUDY

COSTFORD SLUM REDEVELOPMENT KARIMODAM COLONY

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM

Karimadom is home to 2341 residents comprising 632 families. Over 23% of the
population are school or college attendees. Most residents are dependent on day
wages, 89% having no permanent income. Several widows, single women, and
disabled residents are particularly vulnerable due to lack of income. Habitat housing
was provided for 72 families years prior to the survey, leaving 560 still in dilapidated
houses or shacks. There is an inactive medical facility that 2 aganwadi are using for
operation. There is also a community hall that doubles as a shelter during floods. The
survey information along with several site visits and community interactions guided the
designing of the project. To avoid the problem of flooding, 1.2 meters of earth is being
added to the ground level before construction. Each apartment building is designed for
20 family flats of 31 square meters. They are G+3 dwellings with 8 flats on the ground, 6
on the second, 4 on the third, and 2 on the top floors. The stepped terrace design is a
modification of from the earlier Changal Chola project.
