Devangi Kansagra
Having studied in a British School, I have always been around buildings that have inspired me to be an Architect. My definition of architecture is imagination. It is the freedom you get to create your own utopia. I have a keen interest in research and working with different technologies to try to build to save nature and sustain human need, simultaneously. All my designs focus on nature as its primary factor and humans as its secondary. Curiosity drives my design, it is in studying the surroundings and how people react to the environment. To build something that can be used by all and exploring new techniques to achieve that. I am a final year architecture student at BSSA. Actively seeking internship opportunities from mid- February.

Marol Paseo
Infrastructure around metro | Marol naka | Mumbai | India Infrastructure is the foundation of a city, we live amongst the ever-changing flux of technology, when technology alters so does the infrastructure in a city. Mumbai is a fast city, identified by its local train transportation. Being a linear city, transportation is generally in North-South direction. Different ends of the city are linked by the construction of Metro lines. The first line connects the city in East-West direction, constructed perpendicular to the existing infrastructure of trains. Line 3,the largest line, will be built perpendicular to the first line intersecting at the Marol Junction and connecting major commercial districts of the city.
Marol Paseo is built on the Marol junction to provide a safe passage from one platform to another with minimum or no damages. With the construction of the new line, the ridership from this station will be doubled, from 7,00,000 riders to almost 13,00,000 riders per day, passing, stopping or switching from line 1 to line 3 or vise versa, making it one of the busiest junctions of Mumbai. To avoid mishaps like the September, 2017, stampede, at Elphinstone station, my primary aim is to provide a plaza or sufficient space for the commutes, that includes transporting from line 1, which is 7m above ground to line 3 that is 12m underground.

The concept of the design on the road continues in designing the structure as well. The full structure is accessed by three elevators and multiple staircases. To observe porosity and transparency, the facade is made out of polycarbonate. The facade turns opaque as it goes higher and simultaneously so do the functions. The undulating roof is supported by varied height of tree-like columns.

The plaza outside is the open area that makes the transit from Metro Line 1 to Metro Line 3 less Congested. The left side of the site is a landscaped area above the underground parking for the area. There are multiple entrances for Metro Line 3, each for different access points and in different direction. The Market is located at the outside of the site accessible by the locals as well as the people who commute.

Section AA’
Section AA’ The plaza will provide large open space and free movement in comparison to what exists today.
The structural facade is made out polycarbonate. Polycarbonate, unlike glass, doesn’t heat up the structure or its surroundings. At human level the material is transparent to make it seem like an open structure. It starts turning opaque as it goes up, which compliments the function within. Studying the sun path and wind direction, the varying height of the structure will provide maximum shade, throughout the day, and maximum natural light within the structure. The well in the center will be covered by a glass roof standing on the columns and it will function as direct access to the underground metro. Parking for the structure is provided pursuant to the adjacent site which will have a function of an open garden and seating space.

Follow the arcade Streets of Archways | Fort Area | Mumbai | India Follow the Arcade provides a walkway through heritage, to experience and locate the hidden gems of the area. Colonial structures in this area still stand strong and are identified by colonial arcades. To add to the identity, I have provided a passage of archways that lead you to different areas of the site. The arcades were constructed to protect us from harsh, humid sunlight and pouring monsoons of Bombay. Today they stand as the identity. Walking through the congested streets today, I came across many weathered and forgotten buildings that are termed heritage but has no value in our, citizen’s eyes. Therefore, this project aims to open up these places in the given area and provide a faster and safer route to maneuver the site.
Mumbai has a vast history, it has been ruled by Peshwa and Mauryan Empires, and colonized under the British Rule. Britishers have impacted the architecture of the city in many form and few of those are in Fort Area of the city. The area was one of the planned areas of the city, with tantamount of open and built space. With time the area started becoming congested and illegal settlements took over. The space that was left open by the planners was encroached. It hid the gems deep within the web of structures. Always the financial heart of the city, The area has few of the most prominent museums, courts, libraries, universities, banks, restaurants, religious structures and most importantly commercial offices.
CONCERN
iv/viii The main concern in the area is Space. While walking through these streets, one feels claustrophobic and lost. It’s impossible to see what is going on through the congestion, hiding the identity of the area.
Commercial 75.4%
Governmental 2.8%
The pedestrian area around Bombay Stock Exchange(BSE) is the most efficient for people to travel. And thats what I plan to do, to create comfortable passageway for people to commute from one place to another.

Map 3
The red areas are the areas that are the most congested. The location of the plazas will try and free these areas up, to have a smooth circulation.
Plan
The plaza is made by diagramatizing it from the Lamassu, involving water and fire, as having water outside the fire temple is termed auspicious. Agiary or a fire temple is a place of worship for the Zoroastrians. .The Lamassu or the guarding angel of the Zoroastrians that guards the temple through ill-will and mishaps.
STRATEGY
Initial Study | 14
The path you take from any street of the area you will make you walk through an arcade and those arcades will lead you to the main circle, The Horniman circle. Structures have been broken down, changed and tweaked at different places, to support the functions and to support the plan. All decisions are based on the concept of opening up the hidden heritage buildings and create a edestrianfriendly path throughout the locality.

The esplanade mansion Reappropriation | Fort Area | Mumbai | India In form and in content cities are the epitome of diversity. Diversity is a result of history, culture and infrastructure. Mumbai is a diverse metropolitan city and it took decades for it to be converted from the seven isles of Bombay, to Mumbai. As important the old culture and the existing fabric is, its evolution to accommodate the ever-changing diversity and needs of its inhabitants is paramount. There are numerous structures in Mumbai with rich cultural and heritage value, but they are neglected to the point of dilapidation. Regeneration of these structures is of great importance. Regeneration or re-appropriation is a process of growing and solving the problem economically, physically and socially. Once upon a time the Watson’s Hotel or Esplanade Mansion was one of the most elite hotels of Bombay. It is India’s oldest surviving cast-iron building, situated in Kalaghoda district of Fort region, Mumbai. It is named after the owner, John Watson. The iron was prefabricated in England and assembled on site. It housed 130 rooms, a restaurant and a bar. The hotel also has an atrium of 30M x 9M, originally used as a ballroom, or a theatre with a glass roof. In 1960, when Watson died, the hotel lost its popularity to Taj and was later converted to offices and later into a residential place. Over years, apathy towards the building has led to its decay, and is currently in a dilapidated state.
iv/vii
overlapping new on old
Watson’s Hotel or Watson’s Esplanade Hotel was the starting point for cast-iron construction in India. During the time of construction, pre-cast iron construction was at its prime. John Watson commissioned the construction of this structure where the iron was cast in England and then assembled on site. Construction is a modular column beam construction, where expansion was possible. The hotel was the prime location for the British with occasional movie screenings and ball dances held under the atrium. The Hotel had a direct view of the ocean and was located in close proximity to the offices, high court, universities, museums and galleries of that time. To follow the identity of arcades in the fort area, the structure has a 6m walkway underneath with exposed steel columns and beams. Everything from railings to lifts was built-in iron.

Proposed Plan The area is highly populated with vehicles as well as pedestrians. I propose to make an underground roadway from one end of the road to another, making the full area pedestrian. The existing dilapidated structure is shut off. The structure would be open architecture with glass as the facade and the walkway size doubled to make it more open to public.

Tetrical housing Mass Housing | Nmims, Juhu | Mumbai | India Tetrical Housing is a faculty housing scheme for our university. It aims to provide the inhabitants an ambiance of peace and tranquility from our everyday urban experience. The thicket of vegetation and the open architecture of individual houses will provide a sanguine environment. Through the compactness, the structures are designed to provide the social impact of the society that the modern structures have eliminated.

An ideal site for faculties who live far, the site is located adjacent to the web of universities on the main road. This project is aimed at cleaning the polluted creek and provide a housing scheme with sufficient houses for families, living in 1BHK, 2BHK and 3BHK. The creek acts as a boundary between the site and the university which will also act as a promenade for pedestrians. The site is divided into 10 sites, with individual amenities, like library, dispensary, markets, etc. My site having the amenity of library. The site lies between the main road and the creek promenade.

The giant feast
Sci Arc Summer School | Software: MAYA | Mumbai | India
The giant feast was a part of summer school termed, Portraits of Shape and Form, held in the summer of 2018. We learned all the basic tools of MAYA software. The assignment was broken down into multiple smaller projects like, Digital modeling, line drawing, Rendering, Lightings, Texture mapping and composition. The final assignment was to bring all this teachings together and make an imaginative still life composition. In the past, ‘Still Life’ has been the classical exercise to represent what exists in real life. I learned how to represent ‘still life’ as my own original set up. This project made me learn to think in terms of shape, proportion and composition. We looked at the works of Christian Rex Van Minnen as the foundation of our workshop, who uses unusual objects in his still life paintings.
