MULTI-MEDIA RESOURCE CENTRE THESIS
Mehrauli, the largest urban village in New Delhi has undergone rapid transformation in its social and built fabric eversince urbanisation as a phenomenon was born. With population quadrapling in the last decade, resources must now be put to judicious use to facilitate ever-increasing needs, and in turn, development. It only makes sense to Revitalize potential historical sites by infusing them with contemporary functions to become active hot-spots for community interaction; preserving historical memory by linking it to the future.

Title : Transformation of urban village Mehrauli: Development or Degradation ?
HYPOTHESIS
03
DEV ELO PMENT IN URBAN VILLAGE MEHRAULI, IS SUPER F ICIA L A ND COSMET IC IN N ATURE.
This study has attempted to gauge the direction of development and growth of urban village by critically examining the transformation pattern vis-a-vis Changes in Demography and Built environment. Four Zones across Mehrauli have been chosen for precise observations and anaysis. The zones have been selected as they encompass various phenomenon of change and the adaptions to it. The changes in these zones however, are not to the same degree instead, they share the spectrum of chaos that seem to be the ‘ new normal’ in the village.
STUDY ZONES IN MEHRAULI
ANALYSIS
CONCLUSION
Growth in mehrauli continues un-abated an un-chequered. With land being a precious resource, NCT of Delhi cannot afford to have over 200 sub-standard, cramped pockets of insanitation that once had plenty of open spaces, farms and fields full of greenery. Growth is an inevitable by-product of human sustenance and therefore it is safe to assume that Mehrauli will continue to expand in accordance with the trend of in-migration. This study has attempted to gauge the direction of development and growth of urban village by critically examining the transformation pattern vis-a-vis Changes in Demography and Built environment. Four Zones across Mehrauli have been chosen for precise observations and analysis according to following parameters: ENVIRONMENTAL PHSYCOLOGICAL ECONOMIC POLITICAL PHYSICAL MOBILITY
Development ideally, should be synonymous with an upgradation in quality of life of inhabitants at the same time exposing them to various opportunities that exist in their environment, all ready to be tapped. Whereas, in Mehrauli there seem to be unanimous struggle to survive. Survival for the essential components of living; Air, Water Hygienic environment, contentment and sense of fulfilment. It is safe to say, with the current velocity of growth there looms a danger of Delhi transforming into a city where skyscrapers define the skyline aesthetically, and this image will bear no resemblance to the ground realities. Development ideally, should be synonymous with an upgradation in quality of life of inhabitants and
exposing them to various opportunities that exist in their environment, all ready to be tapped. Whereas, in Mehrauli there seem to be unanimous struggle to survive. Survival for the essential components of living; Air, Water Hygienic environment, contentment and sense of fulfilment. A holistic approach towards development that follows a bottomup strategy can only save the neglected parts of the city. Villages like Mehrauli are embedded in the entire fabric of the city and expose reality. With the master Plan of Delhi not integrating such pockets into future planning of the city, the resultant sporadic development is evident in the fact that despite Delhi being the capital city of India, it is far from being a world class city.

ZONE 2
PHSYCOLOGICAL
DRAIN ON STREET
ZONE 1
The characteristics of the area was primarily rural with poultry and dairy farming practiced extensively until 10 years ago when MCD banned the all such activities in accordance with the village being urbanised. The activities were moved to far flung rural villages forcing the inhabitants to look for alternate job employment.
QUALITY & CHARACTER OF PUBLIC SPACES
PARALLEL IDENTITIES
ZONE 3
A new identity to the village can be considered as an aesthetic façade to the planned chaos of an urban village. Now, one may easily argue that this probably is the layer that is in process of being added to the existing layers in mehrauli and its heritage. We could say, that this would perhaps be a sneak peek into the future of an urban village and its identity, only it in no way acknowledges the past. And development without taking the past in consideration is baseless and feeble.

MEDICAL COLLEGE SEMESTER 5
Design Challenge I To design a 100 student intake Medical College for Holy Family Hospital, Okhla. The proposed design should formulate the Image of the facility and conserve maximum green cover (including mature trees).

STAGGERING OF BUILT FORM
Building is oriented in the NorthSouth Direction to reduce heat gain. The compact form aids in minimising any further gains. Mutual shading is achieved through staggering of mass that provides adequate shading without compromising on ventilation. All fenestrations are recessed to minimize glare inside rooms.
