    Brief

    The project started with a comparative research

    on the urban form and urban systems of Singapore

    and Shanghai with emphasis on metropolitan

    scale, downtown district scale, and river corridor/waterfront scale.

    A master plan for the site in Singapore includes a

    clearly stated vision ; set of urban design principles;

    framework plan; 3-D urban morphology model;

    the urban systems and performance, urban design

    code that described spatial/building /landscape

    and infrastructural typologies and character; and

    public realm was developed as an understanding

    and result of the research. The main ideas for

    the new development were categorised in four

    categories of Site, Infrastructure as an Amenity,

    Sculpted Urban Fabric and Natural Systems.

    The strategies under Site looked into the

    reorganising of site in a way to create more

    waterfront, to restore erased narratives in form

    of historic coastline and to provide oportunity to

    generate energy in a renewable way by channeling

    and using oceanic currents for electricity through

    the shapes of proposed islands.

    The strategies under Infrastructure included

    ways to provide better living by allowing easyaccess to green area and blue areas and by

    provding transit connections to the Buisness

    District nearby. Under the Sculpted Fabric

    strategies included ways to provide views and

    visual connections to green area and blue areas,

    with each building having access to both and

    generating sense of community by having all

    residential units located withing waling distance

    of the community areas. Strategies under Natural

    systemsincorporated idea of having a new mode

    of transport via water, generating clean water onsite from sea water by of tidal flooding at high

    tide and use of climate responsive Architecture.

    Brief

    This design explored approaches to the

    urbanistic project and various factors

    unique to site like underlying structures,

    scales, relationships, and spatial andprogrammatic potentials and allowed

    me to design and understand the

    complexities related to metropolitan

    landscapes and the inter-related issues of

    sustainability, human use patterns, and

    various urban and natural systems.

    St. Louis is a city in decline. with

    major industeries leaving the city,

    areas like industrial park on grand has

    been deserted. This provides a good

    oppurtunity to develop the abandoned

    areas into developments that will support

    the still flourishing sector of medicine and

    botonical studies. As the site lies between

    the divided campus of St. Louis university,

    the development will become a prototype

    for various other areas in the city which

    have similar urban conditions.

    The ideas for the masterplan was of

    creating a Transit oriented development

    while generating a dynamic community

    through the help of diverse mixed urban

    use and high density. As the site has been

    under the effect of various industrial

    pollutants, it became a necessary

    requirement to do a site remedation

    which also allowed for an opportunity to

    develop a greenway that connects the

    two sides through pedestrian walkways

    and also provide for activity areas on local

    scale as well as on regional scale.

    Brief

    St. Louis has lost almost half of its population and

    many industries over the last 5 decades. This has

    impacted the downtown. The famous Gateway

    Arch now stands among buildings which havebeen abandoned.

    When the busch stadium was rebuilt, the old

    parcel next to the stadium became available for

    development. This is an opportunity to develop

    the parcel and bring back people to the downtown

    and make it a vibrant place once again.

    As a one day design exercise, Ball Park Village

    project was a design idea presentation for the

    empty parcels next to Busch stadium in downtown

    St. Louis. Most of the work was done by hand and

    later translated into digital format later.

    The idea and strategies were governed by the

    importance of iconic buildings like the stadium

    and Arch in the neighbourhood and were based

    on the assumption that they will be catalyst or a

    pull factor, once a nice neighboorhood is designed

    and built in the downtown.

    The site level strategies incorporated ideas of cross

    connections, Street Heirarchy, Pedestrian friendly

    environment, setting up public space heirarchy

    and use of Urban form typologies to incorporate a

    sense of safety and and a dynamic neighborhood

    through mixed use development as compared to

    single use urban typology that exists at present.

    Chandni Chowk is the main street of

    shahjahanabad, the old city of delhi

    made by mughal emperor shah jahan

    in 1600. Over the years the city and the

    road has changed from a mixed use

    development to commercial use with

    few residential buildings. Ministry ofScience and Technology in partnership

    with Muncipal Corporation of Delhi

    started the project to redevelop the

    historic street with objectives to create

    pedestrian friendly environment,

    conserving heritage and starting an

    outreach programme focusing on

    capacity building for heritage of

    shahjahanabad. This 1.3km stretch

    was the pilot project for the whole

    area, and included understanding of

    service areas for commercial activityand development of the commercial

    sector along with increase in residential

    component of the area. This area is rich

    in terms of heritage, with many national

    heritage monuments and centers of

    religious importance located in the

    vicinity.

    This project was initiated by the

    government of punjab to revitalize the

    urban core of old city of amritsar from

    tourism point of view. Old city is home to

    the Golden temple, the most important

    shrine of Sikhism and Jaliawala bagh, an

    area of national importance.

    The project was started by finding thepotential and hurdles in development,

    specifically in inner core areas of the old

    city. An urban revitalization study was

    done which proposed 4 different projects

    for the comprehensive redevelopment.

    As a result of the findings it was decided

    to introduce bus routes in such way so as

    to connect all the important areas and also

    to serve the community as a part of city

    public transport system.

    The old city has 4 gates, part of the old city

    wall and are located on major roundabouts

    around the old city. These gates were

    measured and the extent of damages

    was recorded and conservation team

    developed the plan for the restoration of

    these gates. A new proposal was given

    for correcting the roundabouts geometry

    and for making the areas around gates

    more pedestrian friendly, along with

    better signage system and street furniture.

    Artifacts and statues were installed on

    roundabouts for unique identity of theareas.

    Town hall which is currently being used as

    local law enforcement agencys office, was

    proposed to be converted into a collection

    point for all the tourists, because of to its

    proximity to both the golden temple and

    jaliawala bagh. The renovated town hall

    will house galleries, food courts, tourist

    information centre while functioning as

    a heritage monument showcasing the

    historical architecture of the old city.

    Shantigram is a sub urban development

    proposal for a developing group

    by the name of Adani group. This

    design proposal was an entry to the

    competition held by Adani group

    for the design of Luxurious single

    family houses and High rise Multifamily residential buildings along with

    amenities like golf course, club house

    and commercial area.

    The pupose of the proposal was to

    create a thriving residential area with

    ample amenities and open spaces.

    The three important approaches

    towards the design of the Master Plan

    were :

    1. To provide space for maximum no.residences to support the retail and

    offices in the central hub of the sub

    urban development.

    2. To create open spaces that are flexible

    in their usage and also serve as green

    infrastructure.

    3. To respect the desire for privacy

    in residential area, while allowing

    for permeability to enhance social

    interaction between the residents.

    This combined approach will help in

    developing a residential area that could

    successfully support the central hub

    and make the sub-urban development

    in shantigram an economically and

    urbanizistically vibrant central hub.

    CITY CENTER REDEVELOPMENT

    SPA,De

    The project was part of architectural thesis studio, a

    requirement for completion of the bachelors degree

    in architecture. The city of epsoo invited entries for

    the international competition ideas competition

    for the city hall and the city centre blocks of espoo

    to mark 550th birth anniversary of the city. The

    objective of the competition was to propose

    design ideas to rejuvenate the city centre and the

    neighbouring blocks so as to develop the area into

    a strong Urban Centre.

    As the seat of governance, the city hall is a special

    building type which is likely to represent intangible

    concepts such as power, authority and legitimacy in

    the community. The city hall,

    whether as a single building or as a building complex

    can have a catalytic effects on the neighborhoods.The city hall combined with

    museums, libraries and new well located retail

    spaces can all spur further urban development.

    The design concept is based on the idea of bio

    mimicry. By using the double helix structure of

    dna molecule for the architectural form, the birth

    and growth of city in time is sculpted in form of

    an architectural entity. Molecular diagram of a dna

    was used for developing the concept and design of

    public spaces in and around the urban centre.

    Bio Mimicry

    The perception of builing from the city and vice versa is such as to symbolize the connection between the City people and the Government choosen by

    them. Building with no specific side or corner symbolizes the idea of equality and connects with its immediate surroundings and context on all sides

    The module is taken and a pattern formed to create an interactive network.. The intent is not to lead to a monotonous arrangement but increate identity

    and variety, choice and spatial richness, yet through the use of a repetitive mass-produced system.

    RECTIFYING SOCIAL INJUSTICE VASANT VIHAR

    SPA,De

    Brief

    As a studio exercise, the project was a search for

    new planning typologies, which are contrary

    to the elitist attitude and are inclusive of urban

    poor. The idea is not to consider the urbanpoor as a burden but as an indispensable

    asset necessary for the social well being and

    economic growth of the society. The aim was

    to investigate a typical multifunctional urban

    typology that locates the rich and poor in non

    interfering symbiotic relationship with each

    other. The new typology also considered public

    transport and sustainable development as one

    of the models of the development.

    The masterplan was developed with these ideas

    as focus. A new approach was introcuced that

    included strategies which were aimed at the

    inclusion of the economic weaker section. This

    was done by dispersing them throughout the site

    and making them a part of overall development.

    All the existing green spaces were consolidated

    to create meaningfull areas of activities and

    amenities for the residents of the area. A new

    system of transport heirarchy was proposed

    which incorporated public transit as one of its

    element. All major nodes of the vehicular andpedestrian crossings were proposed as vibrant

    public spaces with commercial and social land

    use typology for enhancing the community

    feeling in the residents. The proposal allowed

    for varied degree of commercial typology and

    created a system where all the basic aminities

    for the elite as well as urban poor were

    withiin walking reach and also provided for

    employment opportunities for people withing

    walking distance.

    MULTIPLE HOUSING COMPLEX

    SPA,D

    The sense of ownership, identity and

    individuality is gradually losing its role

    from the design process in the fast

    growing Housing market of India. Thisnot only affects the built mass but is also

    affecting the open spaces. Large group

    of Tall monotonous residential buildings

    with common, closed greens is further

    secluding the users from the common

    areas which are rapidly losing there

    importance as social and cultural center

    for the community.

    The project was an in depth research

    about the usage of spaces on individual

    basis as well as a community in a multiple

    apartment complex and the ways to attain

    a balance between a housing unit which

    is an extreme private space with large

    community spaces which are on the far

    extreme of public spaces spectrum.

    The Housing semester in school gave

    us an opportunity to research in issues

    pertaining to Housing in India and we as

    a group of three chose to pursue the issue

    of social, community and personal identity

    of spaces in conjunction with design of

    multiple apartments in Gurgaon, Haryana.

    The degree of individual and community identity varies from culture to culture. In India, the sense of community spaces CONCEPT is not strong

    and such spaces end up being piled with garbage or turn into large, barren open spaces which fail to link up the housing units. To inculcate a

    sense of community identity, it becomes important to privatize the community greens into smaller community spaces with 6-8 units per floorowning it. The people who use the space are able to relate to the scale and develop a sense of responsibility as a collective group.

    Need for identity in the dwelling appears to be a basic human need. The form of the housing is punctuated with community voids which form

    the hub of every cluster and provide an essential outdoor space which can also be used for community gatherings. These punctures in the

    housing mass also create a rich visual experience.

    The shape and the general appearance of a cluster must make it stand out as an easily identifiable entity, so that it can become the personalized

    property of the families that live there.

    The sun doesnt stand still, it goes round in an arc, changes every moment of the day, and from one day to next. If we were to make arrangement of houses that took this fact into consideration, then throug

    response to the function, one would arrive at the most complex and visual arrangement in space .
