Hello! I am Ayushi Batra, an undergraduate student from MBS School of Planning and Architecture, Dwarka, Delhi. In this journey of becoming an Architect, I’ve had many experiences which have helped me grow as an individual and also has enabled me to appreciate the beauty of the things around us and learn how we can contribute in making them better. I’ve explored cities, travelled to places to guide myself to have a broader persective of the world which would help me find my ideology in life. I believe that as architects, we have the power to learn from our past and acknowledge our future to create a delightful present.

CONVENTION CENTER, JAIPUR THESIS DESIGN
INTRODUCTION
JAL TARANG TOURISM PROJECT
A Convention Center is a large building that is designed to hold a Convention where individuals and groups gather to promote and share common interests. It typically offers sufficient floor area to accommodate several thousand attendees. Very large venues, suitable for major trade shows, are sometimes known as Exhibition Center. The Convention Centers typically have at least one Auditorium and may also contain Concert halls, Lecture rooms,Meeting rooms and Conference rooms. Some large Resort or Hotel can also be included in a Convention Center.
Jaipur’s historic Mansagar lake and Jal Mahal, the 18th century water palace at its centre, had come to resemble a toxic wasteland in recent times, with the monument in severe disrepair and the lake filled with sewage. Jal Tarang is a project initiated by the government of Rajasthan to restore the Mansagar lake, create sewage treatment plants, renovate Jal Mahal and provide 100 acres of land, south of Jal Mahal, for tourist facility, providing amenities such as - Resort, Convention Centre, Restaurant and Food Court, Entertainment Centre, Multiplex, Go Karting, Boat House, Amusement Park
SITE AND SURROUNDINGS
The development of Convention Centers, Sport facilities and Performing Art venues are increasingly being acknowledged for their role in stimulating local economies and improving the quality of life of a Nation’s citizens. Conference and Business Tourism is hence a very important sector of the Global tourism industry.

KASHMERE GATE AND ITS PRECINCT URBAN DESIGN
INTRODUCTION Kahmere Gate, a monument once of great importance has lost its significance over time. The walled city and the monument carry a great history and need to be preserved and admired for influencing the heritage and culture of this area. The aim of the project was to preserve the heritage importance of Kashmere and provide significant interventions to this area so as to increase the value of this area. Evolution of Shajahanabad

HERITAGE CORRIDOR
Heritage Corridor Plan The heavy traffic flow around the Kashmere Gate has reduced its importance in today’s time. Furthermore,The old city wall is now hidden by the encroachment along it. The SDM building’s parking requirements has also led to haphazard parking in the area. The heritage of the area thus had to be preserved without disrupting the current traffic circulation of the area

TEMPLE OF PEACE AND HARMONY
INTRODUCTION Today the world in general & our country India in particular is passing through a critical phase. There is lot of strife & conflict. A large number of these conflicts are arising out of religious intolerance.There is a definite need for a place where people of all faiths can congregate together in an atmosphere of peace & harmony, where the emphasis is on spirituality & divinity & not on mundane religious practices, where they not only find their own moorings but also learn the basic tenets of other religions.

METHODOLOGY
INTRODUCTION Air pollution owes its growth over the years to innumerable factors, and only by the control of these factors can its growth be stopped. But, taking measures on individual levels for catering to the concern of air pollution is as important as catering to it on global levels. Since the quality of air is very important for the healthy living of beings, it is necessary to provide provisions to ensure that these healthy living standards are being catered to. In this growing world, we are surrounded by buildings around us. According to The National Human Activity Pattern Survey (NHAPS), we spend 90% our time indoors. Therefore, it is important that the air quality is maintained within these buildings.There are various organisations such as India Green Building Council (IGBC), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), etc which ensure that air quality standards are met within the buildings. When it comes to ensuring the air surrounding the buildings, various factors are considered to keep the air pollutant concentration levels in check. Factors like emissions of pollutants from vehicles, from industries contribute to the levels of air pollutants in the air. Since these factors are abiding by the laws and measures on city levels can help in catering to these pollution sources, the need for ensuring the measures on micro level grows.According to Dr Rosa Schiano-Phan, principal lecturer in architecture and environmental design at the University of Westminster, the way we design buildings could have an effect on air pollution levels. The configuration of buildings can potentially retain or aid concentration of air pollutants, while others allow them to disperse more easily. Therefore, it is important to design buildings in such a way that it ensures proper ventilation to get rid of the high levels concentration of pollutants inside and around the buildings. Not only does optimum building designs help with that,but also various new technologies can help catering to the problems of air pollution.
Research Paper | Page 37
The approach of designing towards the issue of air pollution requires study of various aspects of design which affect the concentration of these pollutants in the air surrounding the built form. The study of these aspects hence gives us the opportunity to provide efficient design and hence help improve the air quality of that region and the surrounding region. There are innumerable factors which affect the concentration of air pollutants in and around a particular building which may or may not be related to its design and they can differ drastically by neighbourhood or even by block given geography and wind patterns, as well as the location of point source polluters, such as industry or highways. So, only certain parameters of building design are being studied in the course of this paper, so as to form generalised and not area specific factors of designing, which can form the basis of designing buildings responsive to air pollution. As per the combined information gathered from Aristodemou et al., 2009; Tobias Gronemeier and Matthias Sühring (2019) ; Michael Y.L. Chew, Sheila Conejos, Jessie Sze Long Law (2017) ; Pugh, T. A. M., A. R. MacKenzie, J. D. Whyatt, and C. N. Hewitt (2012), the various building design parameters that are being studied in order to improve the air quality are – 1. 2. 3.

These factors and their impacts are studied in details and a conclusion is drawn on how these factors are affecting the concentration of air pollutants and how it can be catered.
