The thesis is based on the discomforting thought that almost everything we call architecture today is actually a business of designing for the elite and classified. Most people i.e. masses, particularly in a growing and dense country like India cannot relate to or afford this architecture. As a result, architecture is an irrelevant entity for them. These people come from different social, economic and political contexts which architecture must synthesise and allow everyone to benefit from. After a detailed study of various policies, schemes, and vision the project identifies certain factors that are key to the city. It aims at consolidating these factors to produce an architectural project that rejuvenates the dead ecosystems of the city. Contexualising :

The design is focused on tapping into the potential of the city, creating an identity and serving the farmers which form the base of our society. It aspires to do so by revitalising a vacant textile mill lying in the city centre.

Compilation and understanding of overall research
Conceptual Research The extensive research was carried out to understand the concept of ‘Architecture for the masses’ using various books, case studies, exhibitions along with the works and ideologies of people.It also includes perspectives of architects, economists and socialists, working towards similar goals. Each bubble is a compilation of such ideas which is further divided into social, cultural, economical and infrastructure related ideas. The diagram attempts to find links and reasoning between these diverse ideologies in the process understanding this concept.

Urban Geography - Nanded The agrarian city faced a boom in 2008 due to the Guru da Gaddi Sikh festival where new infrastructure was developed but is depleting over time due to improper usage and lack of maintenance. It is considered as one of the most backward regions in the country with 1/3rd of the population living in slum-like conditions. The city has been making newspaper headlines with its farmer suicide cases along with other cities of the same region. The diagram aims to show all the aspirations of the locals , government and visionaries that inhabit the city.

Urban geography of Nanded
Cotton and Soyabeen are major crops. Oilseeds, jawar, Bananna, Amla , Grapes are among the otherthings grown.
Vishnupuri dam is not used for irrigation as the water is insufficient.
70% of economy is directly dependant on farm produce. A good produce at the fams puts the economy into motion
We all hope for a good Mosoon every year as we are completely dependant on it.
The ife here is slow and no real source f income.It ud eto the faulty government policies that the city does not prosper.
The vicinity has 15 industries.
Average earning is Rs 2,00,000 anually. Average land holdings are 3-4 acres. They are completely dependant on Rainfall. The borewells and tubewells have been dry for 5 years.
Water is a scarcity. It is provided once in two days during the monsoon and once in 15-20 during the summer.
Turmeric as a spiece is exported to Aurangabad and Hyderabad
Malls and other branded stores have opened in the past but failld to survive as the people cannot afford it.
No precautionary measures for protection from future droughts
The cloth and gold market exist at a small scale near the Modha
we feel at the base of the society and left behind from the development that is happening arond the Konkan coast
The adtia or the middleman takes away most of the profits leaving the farmer pennyless
Educational and Industrial development of Nanded is a must .It is ristricted only to the upper classes . The villages are yet untouched
No awareness schemes or irrigation fascilities.

Traffic is a common problem in the vicinity and hampers the supply
The city is a victim of bad policy implementation.

The farmer suicides were due to the lack of water and Politics further worsened the problem.The farmer suicides will soon open up as big political scandal
The farmer is unaware of what crops to plant or how to irrigate. No government awareness programs rerach the farmers
The gurudwara is the only attractor in the vicinity
Buisnessmen Business man
The mill is a huge vant land in the middle of the city that can be opened for public use
The tourists spend most of the time visiting various Gurudwaras in the vicinity
The gurudwara obtained donations worth million from state,central and foreign governments.
The city has nothing apart from the gurudwara that is worth visiting.
Sikhs are a very small population that came in as militants
The mill is a victim of mismangement and bad government policies
The existing machinery and structure are deteriorating with time
The sikh use their donations to build Museums ,Hospitals, bridges, roads for the sikh. Most of these lie unused and lack maintenance
Most people survive with the free food from the Gurudwara it has good trading potential.
The sikh Gurudwara is extremly important to the sikhs. It is one of the five most holy gurudwaras for the community
The 2008 Guru da Gaddi festival was a landmark festival for the city and the sikh community
The skill and workforce in the vicinity are going to waste
The textile mill workers live insquatter settlements bodering the mill with no real source of income Most people in the vicinity are into small scale tertiary buisesses

The project aims at the creation of a sustainable and healthy microcosm that takes care of the rapid development and preserves the existing culture of Malad, a growing suburb of Mumbai. Alongside provide a sustainable living standards and economic growth which will revitalise community and help them survive longer under the economic burden. The successful implementation of the project was dependant on understanding the context and the thin line between gentrification and revitalisation.Thus special care was taken through the project to maintain these disciplines.

Modular Planning The concept of a volumetric pixel, namely voxel was created during the course of the project. The basic geometry of a voxel could transform in various ways to obtain a sustainable building envelope. The geometry was used as a residential and work module. Thus, the replication was used to create an entire residential complex. The same principles but with different voxels were applied to create a market and school within the same vicinity.

Combination of individual concepts for synchronised functioning
Refined massing to allow better conceptual organisation
Modified massing to make the structure porous from within
Planning
The project takes three different programs those of student housing, public parks and parking lots. It explores the potential of each program separately with the help of diagrams and then explores the relationship these programs may or may not share with each other.

The project focusses on process as an agency which carries out various designs using diagramming as an important tool. It picks the concept of the project as a design driver over its content and context. It discards all stylistic approaches and relies purely on research to generate diagrams.
Spatial organisation in accordance to conceptg
Spatial organisation on site
Contexualising : The project is located in Juhu, one of the most elite localities in the city of mumbai. It has three separate but simbiotic concepts for all the programs.

Axonometric showing detail, structure and facade of the overall design
Parking is flipped in terms of its traditional usage. Instead of having basements to park, the facility uses parks as a facade and the relatively tight student hostel make use of their vantages towards Juhu aerodrome and the public park within the structure.

The process of diagramming was followed to explore the key idea behind each program, i.e. student housing, park and public parking. The ideas represented in each diagram for the diverse programs are then unified with one diagram. The other necessities like form and circulation are not considered and the idea is only developed through the process of continuous diagramming making sure that the essence of the program is not lost as the design develops. Thus, the final diagram is merely a coherent working of ideas developed separately from individual programs.
