Masterplan

The masterplan is the byproduct or translation of all the readings and analysis done in the earlier chapters, incorporating all the architectural and landscape strategies.

The site plan is designed to improve the slow mobility flows, the paths drawn up increase the porosity of the flows into the site which is almost non existing in the present. The nodal points created have direct and better interaction with the existing points of interests around the site. In addition to these nodes each of the green areas are categories for specific activities from urban farming to a botanical garden which further breaks the monotony of the mundane green into activity zones based on its specific landscape design.

The structure laid over the railway line is not only a bridge to cross over the train but also acts as a piece of a puzzle that fills in the void in the urban morphology. The layering of this ‘Megaspacestructure’ is in accordance with the expected GFA housing all the required functions for all phases of its use. Moreover, the volumes placed in this structure follow a certain methodology to avoid cluttering and creating a guideline for further expansion.

The result is an aggregate of the all the landscape and architectural layers which are laid down carefully to a create a dialogue with the city. This project is not just an addition in terms of built environment but is envisioned as a dialogue with the city which is both economically and socially sustainable.
