1. Networks Of Care Undergraduate Thesis : Semester 9 & 10 Mentors : Shreyank Khemlapure and Dushyant Asher Location: Adarsh Dugdhalaya, Malad West, Mumbai Suburban

For my research dissertation I studied the relationship between CARE and SPATIALITY of a NEIGHBORHOOD, and entered through the narratives of crisis such as what happens when an emergency, crime or conflict occurs in a neighborhood. I studied three types of neighborhood with different architectural fabric: Row house settlement, self built and the apartment type. For my design intervention I was rethinking the architecture of care in an apartment housing, since according to my research it somewhere fails to lend and lacks the care. The ambition was to maintain or rather push the networks to mobilize care in the neighborhood. In the attempt to attain and create such a network, a deep study of the site which consists of five buildings was done understanding the existing planning of each building and finding ways to intervene within the existing apartment type structures.

site obervations and analysis

Circulation Core, in a building it is the only space for any possible interactions.

Clustered Blocks, the typology of these buildings become very staggered where people tend to live individualistic lives.

Individualistic Living, residents even follow one particular route whenever they step out, again restricting any possibility of overlaps.

Outward Looking Fenestrations, all the fenestrations become outward looking and nothing that opens to their own neighbors.

site strategies

Dead Walls, using the dead walls of the buildings and create spaces against it.

Extensions, by stretching out arms and maintaining a certain distance from the existing structure parallel extensions were created.

Common Kitchen Gardens, breaking through the kitchen to create common spaces.

Swelling Up the Circulation Core, bringing out the circulation to create more visual connection and space to move around.

Structural System. A stable steel structural system was introduced using ISMB series of steel sections.

Water Harvesting System. Pipes were introduced from the roof which went straight to the underground water tank.

2. Cantilevered Shops Intervening Typologies | Semester 3 Mentors : Anuj Daga and Pratyusha Suryakant Location: Tulsibaug, Pune

The main intent of the structure was to create a major separation between the contrating tulsi baug and ram mandir and bring in the activeness which was seen overall in the surrounding market. The stair running in between the two walls connect each and every shop and allows one to access from anywhere. The shops going underground halfway and its roof becoming a sitting or resting space for people around was one of design strategies playing with the plinth.

5. Ecological Walk What is an Interpretative Centre? | Semester 6 Mentor: Malak Singh Gill Location: Hiranandani Powai, Mumbai.

The distinct separation created on the land of Hiranandani(suburb in Mumbai) which was for middle class people, was one of the reasons to create such humble space where everyone is welcomed and included. Inclusion of all kind of species through which the space created gives something back to the community was the idea. Fluidity was achieved in the form by breaking the monotony which was seen in Hiranadani created by the rigid blocks. Including programmes like a Welfare Centre could help in bring people together for a better cause. This could be achieved by various parts of the welfare centre such as providing a clinic and a gym for a better health. Then seeing the major disconnect of the lake, a centre where people could do something for the lake or even exchange knowledge about the biodiversity of lake which many people are not aware of. .

6. Tapering Blocks Highrise | Semester 7 Mentor: Komal Gopwani Location: Borivali, Mumbai Suburban

On the left, a case study was done on the Shanghai Tower, located in Shanghai, China. The 632m high skyscrapper was broken down to understand each of its elements.

case study: Shanghai Tower. understanding the structural system

On the right, a high rise was designed as an intervention in Borivali, Mumbai. The idea was to take further the learnings from the case study and design sensitively. The skyscrapper was divided into chunks of floors which were stepped to make the structure lighter on higher level. Various layers and elements were thought through keeping in mind the rules and regulations from the DCPR.

7. Pixelated Merging Housing, The New Questions | Semester 7 Mentor : Shreyank Khemlapure Location: Mysore, Karnataka.

The project was based in the second city of Mysore where the question emerged what could be the architecture of Central Public Works Department quarters that affords its different work cadres to be clustered together. And what could be the architecture of community spaces by bringing in green along with thinking of the economy. When housing needs

to be densified getting in the of open and closed spaces etc. garden and maintaining the green landscape was one the intends. And then how could a cluster of different hierarchies work amongst each other with such density. Re-thinking of housing which was constructed repeatedly and in a cookie cutter way but think about relationships such as public-private spaces, ratio
