FUTURE READY ECO - SCHOOL Igatpuri Campus EdEn (RJB CPL) 2018
The master plan guides the future development on the site and integrates the school’s needs. It aims to create a sensitive ecological landscape that not only benefits the site but also becomes an educational tool for the children. The master plan enhances the existing features of the site, makes the site self-sufficient in terms of water, uses eco-friendly interventions, and converts the site and its buildings into a living laboratory for the students and visitors.
Divided into 3 phases as per the School’s curriculum and dictation of the land with seasons. Aseema plans to use the campus as an extension of the classrooms, to build the students understanding of the environment and the sustainable use of natural resources.

After consistently reviewing and repairing existing facilities, such as check dams, new ones will be created. This will aim to make the site water positive. An irrigation network for the site will prevent water loss and drudgery on site in the hot summers. Also the kitchen grey water will be treated as a demonstration unit for the children. These will become the water trail for the kids understanding.
Natures energy will be harnessed to become a resource on site. These include Solar Street Lights around the site for safety and security. Another Energy Trail will demonstrate for the children methods of harnessing natures renewable energy like wind and hydel power which can be used for agriculture and other activities. A play pump will be used to regulate water and become an edutainment tool.

The initial phase of designing process Discussions between Team EdEn, Team Parivartan and S.N.Wooden regarding various wooden details for play equipments to sustain the extreme rainy weather of Awalkhed, Igatpuri.
One of the playground equipment was a culmination of wooden planks and alternating recycled tyres. The equipment was designed considering the background of the children and the various textures one would experience while playing.
Experiments to explore various types of seatings with recycled tyres. Few of the seatings were movable while the lawn seats were immovable. They were made by Team Parivartan and EdEn team members on site.

A wooden sea saw, log walk with texture pits, a shape maker were designed along with customised stainless steel play equipments for the children. EdEn attempted at making this as a learning experience for not only the kids at Aseema but also collaborating with architecture students (Team Parivartan) and experienced professionals such as Canadian wood and S.N.Wooden.

DARPANA STUDIOS
DANCE SCHOOL AND AMPHITHEATRE Sabarmati Riverfront, Ahmedabad Indigo Architects 2017
The Sabarmati riverfront development project impacted the existing Natarani theatre precinct. A major chunk of the stage area was lost to the riverfront edge road and sidewalk rendering the theatre inoperable. Increased vehicular activity also necessitated the construction of the sound-attenuating wall for acoustical reasons. It is in the context of this reality that its renovation is both imperative and desired for its activities to flourish. The new proposed layout not only attempts to mitigate this situation but improves upon its existing infrastructure and capacity. The architectural resolution comes through its sensitive positioning between the existing Darpana Academy building and negotiating the existing terrain on the river edge. Preservation of the old language and character of space, its foliage and old matured vegetation and use of climate sensitive strategies for human comfort are some of the key objectives.

UNEARTH
FAB BIENNALE 2018 Famous Studios, Mumbai Team EdEn (RJB CPL) 2018
unEarth is inspired by the grey area that lies between the realities of everyday and aspirational fiction which has come to be known as sustainability. The installation-exhibition builds on the guidelines provided by parallel research from around the world scientific hypotheses, global news headlines, financial bottom lines, and info-graphics by various agencies. These become the foundation agents to build a storyline that addresses the change cycles that have been set in motion by our quest for a better future. At FAB, the future has been spot lit in the consciousness of the architecture and building industry. For us at EdEn (Educated Environments), it is as an opportunity to fast forward many millennia then backtrack to the story of (Wo)MAN kind, known to be the thinking species and its spaceship called planet earth. A story that will be told in the time to come by the state of planet earth and its health reflected in the lifecycles of its future generations. One may ask, “What has that got to do with the future architect, builder and the construction industry? We, the builders and professionals of the building industry, by origin are human and thereby stakeholders to every act and impact we as a race manifest on planet earth. Secondly, we are the consumers of every industry and hence as responsible as our neighbour. And finally, as shapers of the urban futures which mark an increasing footprint world-wide. If statistics are reliable, this imprint impacts atleast 30% of the surrounding biospheres and lands by transferring every emissions to the layers of atmosphere and hydrosphere that surround us, thus impacting its health. unEarth aims to mark the measure of the human imprint on planet earth and invites you to think.
FABRICS OF ILL - FATE
The construction industry revealed the massive scale of the impacts of the construction industry, the impacts caused by emissions due to inefficient production processes and energy use, and waste produced by cradle-to-grave (use and throw) products among others.

REFLECTED MATERIALITY
With fashion becoming more and more like acommodity, the inherent nature of a consumable reduces the shelf life of the apparels and increases the amount of waste disposed. The installation highlights some daunting facts of the fashion industry.
People all over the world with their changing habits and evolving lifestyles have affected the throwaway food culture immensely. The display is a projection of the food waste the world throws out, culminating into a heap of food and packaging waste, which is unimaginable for a common man.
One of the fastest growing components of the municipal solid waste stream. It is a valuable source of secondary raw materials if treated properly. however, if not treated properly, it is a major source of toxins. The installation highlights the various layers and materials that go into the making of these products.

RIVERse
AN INITIATIVE FOR THE RIVERS OF MUMBAI Mumbai Team EdEn (RJB CPL) 2018
RIVERse is an effort by the citizens (represented by Water Environs, InHAF, River March and many other organizations and Individuals) to transform the neglected erstwhile rivers and streams (Nullahs) of Mumbai which today are the backyards into much required people’s health and well being spaces. Thus making them the front yards of our future cities. While the Supreme court of India in 2017 ruled that India’s rivers are ‘not living entities‘, We believe that whatever be the human view point, be it communal or scientific or social, the sheer nature of the ecosystems its supports every river and water body must be viewed as an living entity.
The pamphlet describes the journey of partnerships in the effort to revive the rivers.

A CASE OF MANDVI AND SALAYA Semester X, Thesis Project, Kutch Guide : Nemish Shah 2018
The thesis chooses to study numerous spaces around which the varied communities of these areas revolve and intends to utilize the heterogeneous social interfaces to revitalize the connection between Mandvi and Salaya, in order to create a unified neighbourhood. Mandvi, an old town on the banks of the Rukmavati river, lies on the southern shore of Kutch in the westernmost part of the state of Gujarat. The Rukmavati river has played an imperative role in shaping the identity of the town over centuries on account of the various occupational, social and cultural associations that it shares with the town. The ecological changes in the Rukmavati river and the land of Mandvi have been vital in the alteration of the town’s development. The Rukmavati river, flowing through the heart of the town, divides it into Mandvi to the west and its hinterland Salaya to the east. Since the early 16th century, Mandvi and Salaya co-existed to support the flourishing port economy, followed by the craft of wooden ship building. But over the past two centuries, there is an evident class division between the merchants and labourers/ sailors. These social categories transcended religion and sect, and ethnicity and race. This led to the deterioration of the relation between Mandvi and Salaya resulting in different independent approaches towards development. The physical division along with the socio-cultural barriers led to the carving of a gentrified spatial heterogeneity in the town. Today, the relation between these areas has narrowed down to the Rukmavati bridge, which physically holds both the sides together.

Section through the library and the museum The language and materiality of the building was developed by taking inspiration from the buildings of the old town. A concrete framed building with lime walls and wooden louvers was designed to make the building breathable in the extreme climate of Mandvi, Kutch. The wooden louvers in the walling system allowed constant flow of air through the spaces.
The lime walls aide in regulating the temperature and humidity levels in the internal spaces from the external conditions. The spaces are planned around a central shaft which drains out the heat during the day and helps to draw warm air out. An external double roof system helps in insulating the spaces from the scorching heat in Kutch. The wooden louvers and fixed glass frames act as binders between the concrete framed structure and lime walls. The wood is recycled from the wooden ship building yards.

JUHU PUBLIC CENTER INTEGRATION BY DECONGESTION Semester IX, The Irla Waterfront Guide : P. K. Das 2017
The Irla Waterfront aims to integrate these ‘backyard spaces’ while envisioning the waterfront by decongesting the spaces. The public center will intend to configure common grounds between the public and envision the estuary as a foreground than a backyard. The central courtyard, an open public space was created with an idea of catchment tank which could help decongestion of floods in the neighbourhood during times of excessive rain and high tides. The central public space would be used for festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri and also for concerts and events for the nearby colleges.

GWALIOR - E - TRAIL
AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC CENTER Semester VII, Gwalior Guide : Aneerudha Paul 2016
In relation to the master plan, this building opens up to the city of Gwalior inspite of being a part of an introvert campus. Being an agricultural campus, the functions proposed is beneficial to the campus and the city. The main function of the building are public greenhouses which grow fruits, plants and vegetables which are researched and sold on the premise.

RAFOO : RESTITCHING THE WALL MUSEUM OF MYTH
Semester VI, Lakhpat, Bhuj Guide : Pinkish Shah 2015
The idea behind restitching the wall is to enable one to see the Rann on the latter side of the wall yet acting as a barrier like the original idea of a wall. The idea of pushing the museum below the ground helped to achieve the experience of encountering the museum on the journey towards the stitch. In one of India’s remote corners on IndiaPakistan border lies a deserted village of hardly a few hundred population within a sprawling fortification.
Initial sketch
The first opinion after seeing the opening in the wall was that the wall which was made to protect the flourishing town of Lakhpat actually acted as a barrier not allowing to see what is there on the other side of the wall but it was broken because of the 1819 earthquake.
Exterior imagination of the project
Interior imagination
IN OUT
Post the 1819 earthquake, the Indus river valley disappeared. The water started turning saline and thus the Rann came into existence. The programme being a museum, suggested the idea of encasing the entire rann as an exhibit of the museum. The idea of pushing the museum below the ground helped to achieve the experience of encountering the museum on the journey towards the stitch. An underground museum was also beneficial as the climate of Bhuj is very hot and dry.
‘‘The Stitch” is made of copper as it would age with time just like the wall and stand out as a exhibit of the museum.

BINDING THE FRAGMENTS Bhavan’s Campus Semester VI, Andheri Guide : Nemish Shah 2015
In an attempt to masterplan the campus in which the existing buildings were seen as fragments, the intervening STUDENT CENTRE was identified as a binding element of the natural and concrete environment of the campus. The folded origami cube explored the idea of a single bind between different entities. A similar language was developed as a series of multiple spaces binded by a common roof.

VINDICATING THE EXISTENT
IMPREGNATION
ALLAHABAD MEDIA CENTER
KUMBHARWADA - MYTH : DIONYSUS
Semester IV, Allahabad Guide : Nikhil Khadilkar and Shirish Joshi 2015
Semester III, Dharavi Guide : Rohan Shivkumar and Nikhil Khadilkar 2014
Formal character on the facade with contrasting informal character on the inside for the media centre just opposite the Allahabad High Court was rhetoric to the existing nature of the site. The project attempts to create a conducive work environment for the law professionals with spaces for interaction with other lawyers in cafes and library along with audio visual rooms to educate young lawyers.
According to mythology, Dionysus was born from two mothers as the baby was impregnated in another womans body at the 6th month. This project tries to revive the art of pottery in Kumbharwada by impregnating their place of work in the heart of Kumbharwada as the art is getting extinct.

MITHCHOWKI TRANSFORMATION
PHENOMENON OF JUIXING MARKET
Bloomberg Philanthropies, NACTO and Columbia University in association with Mumbai Traffic Police 2017
Shanghai, China KRVIA - Jiatong University 2015
SAME - SAME EXCHANGE
MALAD
The aim of the project was to show the citizens how the traffic junctions can be redesigned using the required safety measures so as to make them user friendly, by methods such as reducing the turning radius of the road to reduce the speed of cars, introducing more thought through traffic islands to help citizens cross the road safely. The exercise took Mithchowki as an example and demonstrated the possibilities for a safe traffic junction.
Existing condition
Shorter pedestrian crossings
Tighter turning radius
Slip lanes for faster movement
The Mithchowki transformation came at a pivotal time in Mumbai as we see multiple Metro and Monorail projects underway, transforming the entire city into a public-transport and pedestrian-oriented city. As the volume of privately driven vehicles reduces, we should see the city tending towards broader pedestrian paths and easier access to the transit systems that link the North-South axes of Mumbai. Moreover, a firm Road-Safety Program oriented towards pedestrians and cyclists could make major intersections in the city extremely walkable, reducing the dependance of private vehicles.

Juixing Market, a wholesale construction market, was transformed from the Juixing Village of Qibao Town, Minhang District of Shanghai. This project involves site study and analysis of zone 3 of the market. Various keywords were formulated to capture the character of this zone. A case study of Chowks, streets, bazaars and the recently introduced concept of ”Equal Streets” was used to formulate the idea of”Equal Markets” in order to enhance the public spaces in Juixing market, Shanghai. The project intended to create a sense of awareness about these makeshift public spaces to the consumers of the market as well as the tenants of the village.

LAND - USE AND PUBLIC SPACE OSHIWARA NULLAH
Mumbai KRVIA - University of British Columbia Exchange 2018
The Mumbai part of the exchange was a quick analytical and conceptual exercise, studying the degenerated Oshiwara river system. Nodes were along the river were chosen, that dealt with varying scales of Land Use and Public Spaces.
The existing conditions were mapped, compared to the DP and ELU, and master planning strategies involving policies, building codes and creating a relationship between the water and the city were proposed. This also included landscaping, creating programmes around the river edge, and understanding current housing problems and ideating solutions that would not only help regenerate the river, but change its perception from a problem to an opportunity. STRATEGIES
1. Maintaining public spaces by public - private partnerships
Porous boundaries
2. Pedestrian bridges connecting public spaces
Open spaces and pedestrian bridges
Existing conditions

3. Continuous pedestrian pathways along the river to increase walkability

FALSE CREEK AND WATERFRONT Urban scape study
Vancouver KRVIA - University of British Columbia Exchange 2018
The Vancouver part of the program involved documenting and analysing the waterfront of the Nortg East False Creek, and an abstract representation of the same. The site activities, movement patterns, natural conditions and topography, and streetscape were the four broad categories. They were further divided into 8 categories as signages, road networks, demographics, urban furniture, scale of the building program (neighbourhood, regional and national), human scale and natural vegetation. 12 nodes were chosen along the water edge, and were studied through these 8 lenses, presented as a matrix that could be read individually and collectively.
