INTEGRATED TOWNSHIP
01 INTEGRATED TOWNSHIP Groups of 4 SPA Delhi | Semester V | Year 2021
Instructors : Prof. Leon Morenas Ar. Sanjay Bharadwaj Ar. Tina Bali Ar. Radhika Vishwanath
Site : Amritsar, Punjab Spread over an area of 75 acres, the site is located in Amritsar, Punjab adjacent to GT road and is near the Delhi Public School. Looking at the concept of sustainability through a larger lens at the urban scale, the project aims to achieve a self sufficient, sustainable township which includes residential area, commercial buildings as well as institutional buildings. It focuses on optimizing the relationship of a building with it’s context, connections with the neighbouring buildings as well as the open built relationship of spaces.
Site Strategies Reducing Centralised behaviour of the functions and physical infrastructure to increase accessibility and sustainability.Decentralisation of Physical infrastructure will not only lower the resistance which will leads to loss of resources but the transportation systems will also be simplified.
Creating pedestrian friendly development and reducing the use of internal motorised transportation. Reducing pedestrian distances and with facilities for pedestrians and cycle paths will lead to sustainibility. The Distances between the Functions can be strategically managed to achieve this effectively.
Mixed use development for Commercial and Institutional typologies will lead to less exploitation of resources. Also the mixed use development will provide a one stop destination for users of the township and outside too where their need are satisfied altogether will lesser consumption of resources.
Using the Linearity of the site to introduce main paths and to achieve accessibility to all functions and facilities. The paths then can further branch out to connect various functions together. A pedestrianized central spine can define the movement which will facilitate the housing, commercial and institutional facilities.

Instructors : Prof. Leon Morenas Ar. Sanjay Bharadwaj Ar. Tina Bali Ar. Radhika Vishwanath
Site : Amritsar, Punjab This project aims to create an institutional hub within an integrated township. It comprises of the Vocational Training Centre which provides skill development training program and a Primary School. The institutional facility forms the heart of the township, located in the centre connecting well to all the other functions within the township. The design focuses on the built open relationship of the spaces and it’s connectivity to the green spine which runs through the entire township. The primary goal was to create a self sufficient sustainable building which responds to it’s context and climate.

UNDER THE ELEVATED
03 UNDER THE ELEVATED Groups of 3 SPA Delhi | Semester IV | Year 2019
Instructors : Prof. Prabhjot Singh Sugga Ar. Suparna Gosh Ar. Balpreet Madaan Ar. Arati Nagpal
Site : Rohtak, New Delhi The site is situated under the Rohtak railway bridge. This project aims to rejuvinate the spaces under these railway tracks to create livable and active public spaces such as Cafeterias, parks etc which act as a communal space that brings people of all age groups together. These spaces cater to the day to day needs of the people residing in this area. The brief calls for a design intervention to create livable spaces that are resilient, innovative and flexible.
Concept The railway bridge overhead is the most prominant part of the site, it dictates almost every aspect of the design, the bridge even created the need for the design, the bridge over head plays a more important part than the ground down below in the creation of this design. This aspect has been captured by inverting numerous elements of the building to create a form that has its roots on the overhead bridge than the ground, thus creating a form that sprouts out of the bridge and raises to the ground .

THE LAKE HOUSE
04 THE LAKE HOUSE Groups of 2 Archdais | Competition House 2.0 | Year 2021
Site : Uttarakhand The design of the house revolves around the abstraction of adaptive and humane spaces. The house emphasizes on reconnecting with nature and essentials of life. The journey through the house has a natural movement and knits all three floors tigether with a delicate ribbon like circulation. The house was percieved as an engaging and adaptive space, and hence, views are never static and ceaselessly orient and inform you. The house has an extraordinary view of the lake and sky and sits in a private rural setting. All seasons of nature are observed firsthand by this house on the hill, which liberates the body and mind from everyday chaos.

Natural light is drawn into the spaces at every opportunity, and is combined with a palette of local and earthy materials and are tied together with architectural details. The walls start to function as screens, producing a discernible contrast between a closed outer volume and a more open interior which serves to the intention of an evolving space.`
Sections
Adjacent spaces are individual at the same time as being of one great space flowing through the entire building; the main living volume is an open, freely planned spatial continium and the bedrooms are closed, traditional volumes, illuminated by full length windows. The capacity of the retracable plate glass wall to transform the living room into an open-air entertainment space serves to the core objective of the design. A contemplation space, which is at the core of the design, also becomes the heart of the house. It is a source of stillness and quietness, a place to reflect and think. `
NET ZERO INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING
05 NET ZERO INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING Groups of 10 SPA Delhi | Semester VI | Year 2020
Instructors : Prof. Leon Morenas Ar. Sanjay Bharadwaj Ar. Tina Bali Ar. Radhika Vishwanath
Site : Amritsar, Punjab Located on G.T.Road, Manawala, Amritsar adjoining DPS Amritsar This institutional project is part of the township project spread in a total of 75 acres of land area developed by AIPL (Advanced India Project Limited) The project is a mixed use of community centre with vocational training centre along the Tarn Taran Highway. The project focusses on creating a educative environment not just in curriculum but through architecture, landscape and mixed use. The building adds to the educational context rather than in competition to it. All the spaces adds value to the user experience appart from being just satisfying the functional need.
Strategies
Using an innovative and highly efficient method of sharing resources through mixed-use development by producing energy and recycling water in constructed wetlands at the site level. The institute derives its water requirements for HVAC needs from the residential towers.
Growing native species that have a plant factor (PF) of 0.15 instead of Exotic trees with a PF of one will reduce landscaping cost and water usage.
The use of vehicles have been used to create better mobility in the Township through sustainable ways .Providing pedestrian pathways and having an electric cycle stand powered by the Solar PV inside the township.
Using an innovative and highly efficient method of sharing resources through mixed use development by producing energy and recycling water in constructed wetlands at the site level. The institute derives its water requirements for its HVAC needs from the residential towers.
Mixed use development with residential commercial, community, office and educational spaces. Mixed land use can enhance the economic vitality and perceived security of an area by increasing the number of people on the street and in public spaces.
Concept
The courtyard becomes the focal point. Recommended strategy climatically brings together multiple users.

Conceptualizing downsizing in an Indian context. Groups of 7 SPA Delhi | Seminar Research paper | Year 2021
Abstract : Keywords: Downsizing, lifestyle, housing trends, millennials, sustainability. The research aims to understand downsizing as a set of lifestyle choices, as opposed to merely reducing the dimensions of space. The study tries to recognize the relevance of downsizing in the Indian context by analysing the factors that can promote this change. It endeavours to understand if downsizing can be part of the solution to a segment of the current scenario of the housing crisis in Indian cities. Our research pivots around the trending housing patterns, particularly focusing on the millennials. Now aged between 25-40 years, millennials in India comprise one-third of its total population and 46% of the country’s total workforce. The study consists of three parts - The literature review which helped us understand the current condition of the housing crisis in India and the concept of downsizing as a possible solution. The case studies assisted us in recognising the possible factors, target group and approaches involved in housing in the Indian context. The research also analyses the primary data that was collected as surveys and interviews to understand living spaces by mapping the activities that occur in them. Interviews with experts in the field helps us understand the current trends in the market and the changing spatial requirements of people. Through this study, we would be able to conclude that the housing market needs to evolve in order to cater to the changing needs and standards of the newer generation. There is a need to redefine the spaces in the housing typology according to the needs of the family by bringing in the idea of multiplicity of spaces, flexible spaces and rightsizing.
