RobustnessDefinition:
Places which cab be used for many different purposes offer their users more choice than places whose design limits them to a single fixed use. Environments which offer this choice have a quality we call robustness
A robust place, whether outdoors or indoors, has many possible uses. A robustbuilding’s function can change over time.
The whole building can take on a new use, or function, an industrial warehouse, for example, can become new office space. Or a small space within a building can change use, such as a garage into a sitting room.

Design Implication Criteria:
• Design for alteration• Garden Space• Outdoor spaces• Designing the edge of the space• Pedestrian Activity• Vehicular Activity• Vehicular Activity• Active & passive way• Building types
-building depth-access-height
Design Implication
Ghat
Design for alteration:
Make the place practicable to change as many as possible by designing the physical fabric so that it can easily be altered.
Helatola
Thanar mor
Passive Robustness active Robustness
Active & Passive way:
Previous condition Proposal
Café added in Helatola as additional functionIn an abandoned building
Outdoor spaces:
Outdoor spaces are the main source of various activities . So the maximum robustness should be utilize there.
Garden Space:
To increase the robustness of the surrounding building ,Garden space can also play an important role.
Designing the edge of the space:
The edge between buildings & public space must be designed to enable a range of outdoor public activities
The three key factors whichsupport long term robustness:Building depth—should be reduced for ventilation
Height-suitable height,upper floor is less suitable for robustnessAccess-need links to the outside
Building Types:
Pedestrian Activity:Seating can take the form of chairs or benches as the pedestrian activity.Where places are wide & less vehicular activity,these types of
spaces can be used.
Proposed condition (with robustness)
Previous condition
Vehicular Activity:
A major activity in public spaces is vehicle circulation. We have to design so that vehicle do not A major activity in public spaces is vehicle circulation. We have to design so that vehicle do not inhibit other users of the space.
