Wave District Centre is a mixed-use development that is projected to be the most prominent commercial, cultural and entertainment hub of Noida. The design for the 150-acre site emphasizes ’permeability’, ‘walkability’ and ‘diversity’, featuring interconnected developments with pedestrian-friendly streetscapes and landscapes in addition to high-quality public gathering places to create a vibrant and refreshingly different landmark. Wave City Center is a unique combination of High Street Shop Condominiums (SCO’s), Residential and serviced apartments, premium office space, mall and entertainment and a range of 5 and 4 star hotels, spreading across more than 152 acres of prime land in the heart of Noida. The site offers the opportunity to create the largest contemporary District Centre in the National Capital Region. This development will become a destination for the wider metropolitan area.

Residential Podium Open spaces at podium level provide residents the opportunity to exercise, play, meet and relax. All podiums are unique, yet they share a similar design vocabulary and sophisticated character.
SCO’s This intricate retail typology is defined by narrow gullies and pedestrian corridors that open into active courtyards. The identity of these courtyards will create a unique address for retailers as well as attract visitors and extend the retail journey. Site components

The design proposal for the site not only responds to the brief, but also draws inspiration from the site’s natural characteristics, history and culture. The hotel and spa proposed for are arranged to maximise sea views and exclusivity, and take advantage of the site’s natural features such as groves of existing woodland and dramatic rocky shorelines. The central hotel axis and spa serves as the resort anchor with golf, pools and detached hotel suites in close proximity. A formal entry piazza introduces visitors to this first class resort. The main axis of the resort focuses on the resort’s primary feature: the sea and three public pool experiences.

Each of the detached hotel suite clusters are inspired from the Indian courtyards. The clusters gain their identity from the spice route in which it is nestled. This arrangement and mix of luxurious gardens and intimate neighbourhoods will ensure that this property becomes the premier luxury resort in Goa.

Terminal 3 opened in July 2010 in time for the Commonwealth Games in September 2010. AECOM provided full Landscape Architecture services for this major airport development in India. Terminal 3 is the largest airport terminal in India with more than 70 gates serving both international and domestic passengers. The phased development sequence is in five-year increments. The initial phases provide a new runway system in the southern sector of the airport site, linked to the existing northern runways by a pair of taxiways. The new passenger terminal building (Terminal 3) accommodates the bulk of the full service international and domestic traffic streams operating at the airport. The masterplan anticipates that Terminal 2 will remain operational in tandem with the T3 facility, supplementing the legacy contact stand supply, until such time that the T4 construction programme will necessitate its demolition. Spread across an area of 5.2 million sq ft, the landscape includes systems for irrigation, soft landscaping, hardscape works, water-feature works, lighting, putting planters and works for vertical green walls. The team adopted the theme “Landscape in Flight� for this 72m wide central airport boulevard. Passengers and drivers will encounter a totally new and exciting landscape experience as they approach or leave the airport. Simple angular mounds of lawn in dynamic arrangements mimic the motion of flight along the central spine. Water features and wind sculptures at nodal points enhance the total experience of air transport and a strong colour palette of planting reinforces the cultural identity of Delhi and India as a whole.

The project was envisioned to be of a ‘world class’ status and hence a lot of minute detailing specific to the site was developed. An extensive storm water management and vehicular/ pedestrian circulation network was developed. The entire landscape was constructed over a concrete basement ceiling keeping in mind the structural and services grid.

The streams and red nodes network help in generating a network of green infrastructure, to guide urban growth and the red dots are nodes for nutrient recycling and wastewater treatment. This network offers spaces for public activities like leisure, plazas, shopping areas, etc. With the inevitable rapid economic growth and unregulated industrialization in the Pearl River Delta, there has been a tremendous increase in the development of factory towns. They house mainly migrant workers and follow a repetitive pattern of haphazard development and generic building form.
This pace of industrialization has led to interconnected problems of industrial pollution and loss of agricultural land. The industrial units and residential settlements act as non point sources into the rivers. Factories dump their wastewater directly into the river, destroying the livelihood of fishermen whose families have worked these waters for hundreds of years.

SPATIAL STRATEGY
PROGRAMMATIC DISTRIBUTION ALONG THE GREEN STRIP
Stream network development
The proposed green strip variates at various points along the proposed network of streams. It thickens at places where the cleaning nodes are placed. Bands of thick forestation screen the access to these wastewater treatment process from humans form the green lungs of the city. These cleaning nodes are then surrounded by various other types of spaces like open grasslands, playgrounds,etc, that forms the “interactive zone” within this green infrastructure. Community gardens, farmer’s markets etc, embed themselves within this infrastructure and become the “economic sustainers” for the city, generating revenue for the maintenance of this infrastructure.

HIERARCHY OF STREAM WIDTH The proposed stream network is a typical branching system on site. The width of the stream widens as it reaches near the pond. This helps in generating different ecologies at various points along the stream.

INFRASTRUCTURAL LANDSCAPE This infrastructural landscape intends towards the recovery of the river, triggering the revitalization not just of banks and surrounding areas but of the whole city, driving the landscape strategy, greenery and river as one interactive and interconnected system. It creates a major framework to articulate the urban fabric, the public areas and the infrastructural equipment of the city and will be able to generate a great variety of programmes which do not exist or are in poor conditions, linking the river to the neighbourhoods and with the city. Open spaces are combined with the otherwise isolated infrastructural elements.

MASSING STRATEGY Massing width
Landscape as a connective surface
These massing bands flow along the proposed stream. Within each cluster, the massing is more fragmented in residential areas as compared to the large singular industrial blocks.
Intertwining the landscape with the urban fabric
The landscape is drawn into buildings, streets into facades, inside to outside, which transforms the conventional topographies and spatial algorithms.

INFRASTRUCTURAL LANDSCAPE: Hydraulic Ecologies The landscape network creates a framework to articulate the urban fabric, the public areas and the infrastructure of the city. A great variety of programs which do not exist or are in poor conditions, link the river to the neighborhoods and the city thereby generating an ecology inside the city. The presence of the river is not just aesthetic but becomes a strategic, active and vital element for the present and future viability of the city.
The concept describes the spatial strategy used for development in conjunction with public space design and the river crossing. The design addresses the space as a surface which acquires thickness and spatial complexity as different programs and land uses start to combine. This allows for mixture of programs rather than compartmentalization of functions, resulting in a spatial result which combines open space with otherwise isolated infrastructural elements.

The Alicante workshop ran over a span of 2 weeks in collaboration with Fundacion Metropli, Madrid.
It dealt with the urban conditions around the coastal front in Alicante. The work focused on looking at issues of fragmentation and new urban tissues which would tie the port activities to those of the city, generating new and unexpected character areas and urban identities based on a renewed sea front for the city.

Qi Ao island is flooded throughout the year at varying degrees. The main cause of flooding is due to the destruction of its mangrove reserves, increased coastal erosion, decreased agriculture, decreased aquaculture pond production, etc. Through this prototype, the floods are controlled by creating series of pools of waters and defense walls to control the amount of water let into the island and channelize it for ponds and other usage.

City centers are the life line of city. In the competition, the city centre Nerbyen, the harbor and pier are a key feature of the Bodo city’s residents, who frequently use the area for recreational purposes in all weathers! There is a need to develop Nerbyen as an urban node which become a natural meeting place for people of all ages at all times and a place for an array of cultural and social activities.
Urban Design Strategy
Opera is the highest from of art, which is an amalgamation of music, dance, acting. It incorporates many of the elements of spoken theatre, such as acting, scenery and costumes and sometimes incorporates dance. Such Performing spaces are organisms in their own right. They often breathe people in like particles into a lung, exposing them to sound, color, drama and music and exhaling them, enriched, in to the community. The primary challenges were to design for this city of extremes and localize the buildings within the parameters set by the available plots in the area and to retain the existing structures around the site, yet enhance the characteristics of the place by designing building volumes and public urban spaces.

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY The design concept of the urban scale is that of “Flight” and “Elevated feeling” i.e. the building of the opera house and the library arise an elevated feeling. On the urban level, since the architecture of the place is very scattered, the project stands a chance of creating an identity for the entire area- it acts as an anchorage point for the city centre. This set of building form an iconic culmination to the city centre. The buildings are monumental in nature in order to celebrate the spirit of the city. As per the master plan for the city, this area is marked as the cultural heritage zone.
