Water Urbanism

Rethinking Alpine Water edges of Oglio River , Italy

Type : Location : Valley Camonica, Italy

This thesis aims to use the knowledge of the site for the formulation of the strategies and recommendations for addressing contemporary environmental issues related to alpine rivers. Using the case study of the Oglio river’s Basin in northern Italy, this thesis tries address the main weaknesses of the planning of river and its basin in Italy today. The thesis also focuses on the human interaction with river which has impacted a lot to river, which will further help in producing design and mitigation strategies to defend it and to build a better new relationship between humankind and the Nature. This framework of strategies will also be a prototype for the development of the not only Italian alps, also the other alpine regions to form the resilient improvement.

Thesis proposes to potential lands of quarries placed along the borders of Oglio river in lower valley to be converted into different usauge considering potential needs of site such as wetland park, sports facilities along with other recreational and learning activities following the flood mitigating strategies.

The proposal aims to build a New relationship between the Naviglio Martesana and River Adda through a new green corridor along with pedestrian and bicycle connection.

Further, a masterplan has been prepared for the existing urban void - Ex-Linificio industry which has been abandoned many years, is proposed to be reused and developed as a new Social hub for the people to gather for different activtiies. This includes temporary and permanant exhibition halls, experimental theaters, Multipurpose halls, Auditoriums. Along with this, various recreational spaces are proposed along with cafes, restaurants hopping plazas etc. The proposal also openes up a new public plaza for people to gather together by demolition of buildings which are not in good state.

Thus the new connection and new Social hub can become new meeting point for the people to enjoy in the Commune of Cassano di Adda.

Strategic Masterplan Experiential Path

Converting quarry into ecreational spaces

Enhancing the life below water by converting depths of quarries into water bodies.

Enhancing the new life on the ground by planting new trees / fauna etc.

By creating new recreational spaces for people along with pathways, jogging tracks, cycle tracks , open and green spaces for people for improving their health by promoting these activities.

Proposed Green Corridor

planting new trees / fauna etc. along the Martesana.to improve life on ground.

Promoting sustainable mobility and health.

Proposed Ecological corridor

To connect Martesana and Adda River

Improving the connection from the Martesana to Adda and enhancing the Landscape along this connection

By creating dynamic flexible public spaces along the street, along with cycle tracks, pedestrian pathways, by removing vehicular connection from this route.

Regeneration through Adaptive Reuse of abandoned building

Improving connection with mainland

Enhancement of the Island

Conserving the existing flora on the ground, existing waterbodies and wetland

Re-using the industrial heritage to adapt it into some other function to regenerate the surrounding through it.

By creating new recreational spaces for people along with pathways, jogging tracks, cycle tracks , open and green spaces for people for improving their health by promoting these activities

Reusing the buildings itself promotes circular economy. Apart from these it will help in growth of the surrounding by provision of job opportunities and promoting tourism etc.

Morphology of the city of Yazd in iran follows a strong particular form in its planning. The detailed analysis has been carried out to understand the nature of the forms that city has taken up from the historical periods to till date. The city has his its own historical significance with world heritage sites such as Dowlat Abad Bagh which is located very next to the site.

The proposal aims to respect the existing morphology of the surrounding as well as tries to build a new relation with surrounding. Proposal houses variety of housing and unit typologies in consideration with context and requirements which combines together to form a cluster with central courtyards and common meeting spaces in the building itself. Central building with plaza has been placed at strategic location i.e. in front of the entrance of Bagh with various commercial and recreational spaces and watching decks which overlooks the bagh. Re-ehanced spaces along the Canal , Watchtower , Public plaza are other additonal spaces which localites and tourists can enjoy.

Sewri , Mumbai , India

This project has been taken up as a study model to devise solutions for Public Transport and Public’s need. Suburban trains in the city of Mumbai are heavily loaded, much beyond their capacity, and while newer forms of transport like the Monorail, Metro rail are being planned. There is barely any coordination between these different modes. As a result, citizens are facing the problems like blocked roads, crowded pavements, poor intermediate transit and lack of efficient connectivity. A vast sum of money that is being spent on new modes of public transport, eventually has very little effect on the overall quality of the transport.

Thus, this proposal aims to create efficient linkage between modes of transport through an transit hub to create a nodal integration between the Multiple Transit Lines conciding at a spot and Public Spaces proposed serving for passengers and the people residing around Transit Hub.

We Indians are known for our Hospitality across the globe. It is the part of the ‘Code of Conduct’ for indian culture for us, Guest is equivalent to the god.

The Architecture of the hotel builds on his ancient Indian expression. The two wings of the hotel are claped together like hands greeting the city of Navi Mumbai. In this way the architectural design of the hotel provides the ultimate symbol of ‘Hospitality’ and ‘Welcome’, as seen in the cultural context of India.

The tower is composed of two masses that are touching together; the space between the two wings forms the Central Atrium. This open atrium provides dramatic views of the city and Panvel creek. Those atrium contains intermediate gardens, which brings green inside the building.

This tower will feature as a Hotel, which will comprise large two banquet halls that can be used for weddings or similar functions, as well as meeting and conference rooms. Apart from that it also comprises the facilities such spa and massage centre , swimming pool, fitness center, Cafeteria & Specialized restaurants.

Parel, the locality of Mumbai that is emblematic of the rapid gentrification of the city, has proposed to be a suburban train terminus.

This will result in decongestion and quicker dispersal of passengers. A large number of patients who come to for medical treatment in Parel, people working in corporate business centers and commercial hubs, flower market vendors and commuters of both Central and Western Railway will benefit from Parel being a junction point.

Parel has significant historical background of textile mills, which is here celebrated through the architecture. Roof of the station is designed in the form of weaving threads of textile productions. Skylight is proposed through the voids between these threads and solar panels are planned on the top of the roof aligned to the threads which helps to generate energy required for the station to function.
