‘Retrieving the Baug’, is the relationship between scientific work space and nature. It aims to transform the idea of a work space always being banal to an energetic nature as well as a social space. The study starts with observing the amount of green open spaces the city of Mumbai has, and how we all should come together to save at least that much and later think about expanding it.
Looking at the larger city plan, we can observe that as we go northwards, the green spaces are depleting and the only rich eco system available in the island city of Bombay is ‘Jijamata Udyaan’. So, an intervention that helps create awareness and celebrate such palces; and also having a botanical research space in the lung of the city becomes imperative.
The site which was a Botanical garden is now under the trap of animal voyeurism, where I suggest the animals should be left free into their natural habitat, where first they should be kept in a rehabilitation centers and then moved into the nature. The space available after rehabilitation, should be made as a sacrosanct and a new masterplan that looks at pauses or recreational spaces in the baug.

Lack of green spaces in Mumbai which are not treated as important. Rani Baug’s (Jijamata Udyaan) rich ecology is a vital lung which needs to be celebrated.

Need for reviving the importance of Rani baug instead of Byculla zoo
Shifting from animal voyeurism to nature based educational awareness through removal of enclosures and revival of flora
Water body can be an attraction for visitors and can also be used for water based plant research
Educational, recreational and research oriented functions can be implemented
Conservatory is not experienced by visitors due to restricted enrty
Reimagining entry to the baug through conservatory, thus making it an available experience
Existing animal enclosures in dilapidated conditions
Axes are unnecessary, rigid, dominating and don’t respond to trees
Public path should be subservient to flora and should be dedicated by interesting experiences
The suggestion was clear to create a sacrosanct that allows very less human interference and no enclosure remains in the end. The animals from the enclosures need to move to a rehabilitation centre before letting them free into their natural habitat.
Proposal:
Afforestation of maximum built up spaces to create a sacrosanct
other cess buildings on site other cess buildings on site other cess buildings on site
Large diversity of trees & several rare specimen found only in the Baug

Observations also involved looking at materials which could be used later in the suggestion (a built structure) rather than only studying the site. A few cess buildings behind the zoo were studied along with the redundant animal enclosures from the zoo. The buildings studied were under dilapidated conditions and were soon to be bulldozed.

Research Transverse Section Ideas to create pauses/interactive activities on Masterplan level
The masterplan looked at creating fun, energetic spaces around the sacrosanct while the main focus remains in creating a Botanical research centre, that deals with activists, scientists, interested locals and also young students pursuing higher education in botany which would help create awareness and later might help in increase in green open spaces.
The Botanical Research Centre is placed such that it creates a virtual connection between the two heritage buildings one in the campus (Bhau Daji Lad Museum) and the Victoria Garden Church which is next to the campus. Trees’ roots study was done at the entrance plots of the campus, which was imperative to select a proper site that does not hinder the growth of trees near it.
ScientificLibrary+Nursery
The building involves functions like laboratories that look at growing plants in and on water; study on medicinal plants, economic botany, microbiology. The building is wrapped by conservation centre which is a greenhouse and a herbarium. Another building which allows scientists to move out of their work schedule is a Scientific library and archives, also a nursery (plant sale) underground it, which makes it a visitors centre and allows a good walk from the research centre to the library building.
The idea of letting the greenhouses cover the main functions in the building so that the plants/ trees in the greenhouse cover/ shelters the activities that happen inside which in turn creates a symbiotic relationship between the trees and the activities.

Forts Studied
Lens:
The lens used to read heritage is via land transformation and its relation with the society. Today there are different paraphrases of heritage in the city which we need to develop it with its relation to the context; i.e. land and the communities. The evolution and the development of human settlement with respect to forts through different time periods of history, the thesis attempts to decipher how the lands were appropriated affecting the heritage and also some how the settlements.

‘Historical neglects’ is a relationship between forts and the communities. The thesis intends to bring about a change in which the society, government and also communities itself perceive at forts to attend their economic / social / political agendas.
The thesis aims to remodel the perception of forts as land for property / economy / development to forts (Mahim, Rewa, Worli, Sion, Sewri) as institution / housing / sacrosanct / recreational / tourism / socio-economic forms of living in the city.
Why always restoration or conservation is considered when we think about heritage buildings?
There is a need to find out a new way of looking at conservation
‘‘Claiming Urban Landscape As Public History’’
-Chapter1, The Power Of Place, Dolores Hayden
Communities earlier grew around the forts which was a sign of protection for these communities, protection/preservation/conservation can be shared/shown in both ways i.e.; it can be provided by the forts to the communities and vice versa. So, we need to establish a balance between preserved heritage to life and livelihood of a community which is deeply rooted to the context and which would also weigh more.
Can there be a way in which these two ideas co-exist where the community is the stakeholder with some rights to exist along with responsibilities to mantain, preserve their ‘‘homes’’ (i.e. forts; Worli, Mahim, Sewri, Rewa)?
To create a win-win situation for both; the government as well as the communities To create a new lens to experience a fort (Sewri) as livelihood as well as socioeconomic form of living in the city.
Communities that have their past attached with the land and also the forts where their day-to-day activities used to happen in / around / through forts. After removal or the absence of these communities staying around the forts, forts will just become mere boxes, where these have a wide and ancient relationship with the communities. It will just deteriorate the quality of the city.
Can we not do so and give these forts a new lens of urban preservation ?
‘Historical neglects’ is a prelude to the future of forts where the settlers (Inhabitants) become a thriving community and participate in the new form of conservation of forts.
In this process, not only the forts (alienated object) will receive its significance back, a better upkeep and maintainence but also the communities will become a thriving community with new opportunities and larger participation in the growth and development of the city.

Everyday Life of an individual _ British Period, Post Reclamation 1845 - 1947 AD
Towns and buildings will not be able to become alive, unless they are made by all the people in society, unless these people share a common pattern language within which to make these buildings and unless this common pattern language is alive itself.
We can use it to work with your neighbours to improve your town and neighbourhood. You can use it to design a house for yourself, with your family, or to work with other people, to design an office or workshop or a public building like a school.
- A Pattern Language
Christopher Alexander
These twelve sketches show patterns that shall take you through a few day to day activities of a person belonging to a particular community and how they dealt with forts, oceans and land in early times.
Forts were used for keeping an eye on the oceans and also dealt with trade. Forts then in a person’s mind were like a guardian to them, where in daily meandering patterns, forts always left presence in their lifes. Forts, temples, churches, dargah, hills, agricultural land, homes, oceans, hills were the most integral parts of their lifes.

Islamic Period - Colonialism
Lots of things have changed in this region. Since, the Kolis worshipped land, no harm was done to the land, mangroves, wetlands but migrants were observed over here. New temples, dargah, mosques, church had come up. Muslim community grew near mosques, a gaothan and a cemetery came in front of it. This led to the increase in farmlands, less number of trees but an enhanced movement pattern.
Colonialism - Post Reclamation
Industralisation led to construction of mills, factories and increased migrants. Now Sewri falls on just one side of the water front, rest have gotten filled; railway line connecting Sewri station to Thane was laid. Farmlands now belong only to the Kolis where rest are all occupied by mills, BDD chawls and settlements.
Conclusion :
Life in a hamlet Sewri Island
Life in a city Sewri
The metamorphological study of land through historical timeline reveals that it resulted in growth of the city, which led to the insignificance or the loss of the forts’ value, which inturn affected the livelihood of the original inhabitants (Kolis) who had an ancient relationship with land as well as forts as the fort used to control the day to day activity of the community. The growth of the city which used to happen because of these communities where their activities were directly asscociated to the identity of the forts. In the current scenario, there’s a loss and insignificance of communities is also observed, where forts and communities can be brought together to preserve each other.

Now no farmlands exist in the Koliwada and is replaced by Sewri Koli Samaj C.H.S. Most of the mill lands are not functional while all of the Sewri east except Sewri Koliwada is under MPT which are Bharat petroleum oil refineries. Flamingos come in the wetland area from October for six months since 1995 and one flamingo point is used for ship breaking. The movement pattern which was constant in all the other maps is now absent.

The non functional building to the north of the fort, which was a Colgate factory 20 years back would now be used as a Fisheries Institute. The local fishermen could learn new techniques of fishing as the fishing and the ecological conditions are not the same as it were before. The city has two fisheries institutes, both at two extreme ends, so its imperative to have one at the centre of the city that is easily accessible.
The existing building has a structural grid of 4m x 4m. The building will be retrofitted in modules of functions necessary for the institute. In this way the functions could also be changed with the changing ecological state around.

i feel loved / ‘conserved’ around these kids. They have kept me alive in a way. Let me die and reincarnate peacefully with them and their culture; not with lime mortar and new bricks.
i am back !!! ain’t dying now
Why do you feel so?
this new wetland has helped i believe ... now i feel i might grow on this new fit out fisheries institute.
it’s our time ‘‘conserve’’ nature we step up and our carbon / emission that term elitists coined.
i ask why shut it completely

Whoa...i guess from now on, all my mingo friends can fly down to Sewri every winters...yayyy!!!
The crane that used to be part of the ship breaking activities, now helps to lift up and add the new fit out containers or volumes in the fisheries institute as it is growing every year.
Also, at times, is seen protesting against the new upcoming route that links up the Raigad and Bombay districts.
This times while protesting, it didnt realise the water levels are back to normal and subconciously just entered the old protest ground ... all thanks to growth in the number of healthy mangroves.

The clients had an old ruin-like house in dilapidated condition already there on site. We were keen on keeping the walls and constructing on it. But since the clients wanted us to completely remove the house, we had to respect their demands and thought about atleast playing with idea of ruins
The basic idea of the project was to keep the villas contextually relatable hence the villas give a sense of modern heritage fit into a ruin.
Both the villas were partially erect when I was handed over the project, my job majorly involved designing the interiors & landscape and assuring the final work on site goes smoothly. One of the villas is completely ready now and only the landscape needs to be finished.
Lounge
The outdoor dining requires a barbecue station where integration of planters and informal seating becomes logical. This addition would allow plants to climb on the pergola.
Flower Garden
The experience would be such that each plant is visible and at the same time all plants come at the eye level. Hence the idea of stepping earth such that the tallest plant goes at the end and short plants come right in front of a person.
A place that overpowers ones presence still being cozy and comforting to the person is a forest. One loves to sit in such place that creates a pause in time.
It’s a place where one would lounge around in foreground of flowers.
An integrated landscape of all the experiences creating a movement pattern.
Observing herbs or flowers is an activity one really enjoys and it also helps in mellowing the mood.
Birds in search for nectar/food are always attracted to such plants making a keen observer’s experience more fun.
To create such experience, all such plants need to be at human level, hence the ground is taken down creating a passageway through it.

A pro bono project where we worked on reviving the open spaces of Ahmedabad and turning them into public gardens. The vision of this project is to at least transform 100 such places in the city and we have already completed more than 10 gardens there now. Since it is a pro bono project, we had to quickly design the gardens keeping in mind these should be kids friendly and also functional for senior citizens at the same time and construct them using cheap but good quality materials.

We started designing part wall sections as per a few major functions and then implement them on the whole structure. Since, vastu was the prime concern, we got at alloting fuctions on a basic layout format which would create voids and interstitial spaces or become interactive as per the wall sections & vastu. The building is divided into four villas, so that such spaces become achievable.
The clients have finalised the outer look of the building but the layouts need a little fix, so now we have brought in all the consultants who would help us to finalise the layouts as well.

A G+8 home for a single-family at Juhu. The brief is quite simple, the clients’ want a sober tropical house that keeps them away from the outside. A few elements that would create such vibes:

White; but the major task for us was to keep the spaces interactive since it is G+8 structure for a single-family and it shouldn’t happen that people from the same house would rarely see each other.
Also, the clients have a collection of antique architectural elements which they plan to use for the new structure, hence Geoffrey Bawa (tropical & antique) was always at the back of their minds.

Hosang Shah’s Tomb, Mandu, India
Integrated Studio _ House Project
Faculty _ Rohan Shivkumar
This project was made on a Haiku (Chinese poem); Ungraciously, under A great soldier’s helmet, A cricket sings. which means even a small thing can irritate or create problems for the ‘big’.
The tomb of Hosang Shah is considered as the inspiration to the architect of Taj Mahal in Agra. Hence, this site was selected keeping the haiku in mind. The house here acts like a cricket & the tomb as soldier’s helmet.

The Public Library is situated in the centre of the Chandrashekhar Azad Park currently known as the Company garden . It was initially built in 1857 as a memorial hall and a place where important meetings were held. Being gothic is style the colonial influence can be clearly seen in the sandstone building with its gothic arches, buttresses, and gargoyles. This highly ornamental building consist of an entrance , a tall turret and the main hall, currently used as library and archive space. The main building is a triple height space with huge arches as tall as 9m and a wooden pitched roof above that.

This project helped us improve our hands on skills and also understand how bamboo reacts to tension as well as compression.
The cantilever had a step formation that allowed a person to climb on it. It was a 9m long cantilever. Since, the primary material bamboo being poor in tension, nylon strings were tied at both the ends allowing the cantilever to stay in its form. The structure’s triangular form allowed it to take upto 45kg of weight.

The studio aimed at student engagement with natural materials like bamboo, jute and also engineered wood; and applying them in fun innovative way .
This machine works on a handle that is rotated manually at intervals which in turn releases the strings held in tension allowing the balls placed in the strings to take a projectile path at greater velocity.
