These modules(right) were multiplied in both X and Y axes to form a dense network of connections which eventually gave rise to a free standing 5 feet Tower Installation(left). The structural framework for the installation is based only upon the primary, secondary and tertiary connections which make the installation stable enough to be free standing on its own.

Networks in Nature Nerves of a Leaf

1
BRIEF_ To Identify and analyse existing networks in nature.
Primary connections, just like in a leaf, are more firm, which is why they are strengthened by steel wire framework in the model as well.
This analysis was later abstracted to become a two dimensional diagram, which eventually made way to be a three dimensional form.
Secondary connections are plain tubes without framework.
The project encompasses the analysis of networking and connectivity existing in the leaf. The leaf, when looked upon microscopically, embraces a triune connection. It takes account of Primary, Secondary and Tertiary connections. The detailed drawings explain an extensive network between the three components which vividly exhibit the downcurrent connection prevailing with the leaf.
Tertiary connections are tensile steel wires connecting different secondary connections at various levels

The study explains the path that light takes through different layers and obstructions finally reaching a local train compartment at a given time of the day. Trains are considered to be the lifeline of the city and the light conditions vary through the route thus, leading to different experiences.

BRIEF_To capture an experience through light and its forms.
Plan at Ground
The project involved choosing an aspect from the city best experienced through light. This aspect was further explored through drawings and models. The site was then introduced, a huge atrium space between three college buildings. The structure thus developed had to respond to the conditions of the site and was to serve as a cafeteria and gathering space for the students. The core of the project was to create natural lighting and seating conditions to allow the user to experience the mapped aspects from the city.

The Game Of Life Slime Mold

BRIEF_To analyse an example of artificial intelligence or ‘swarm intellingence’ occuring naturally and understand its occurence. A reader based on ‘The Game of Life‘ by John Conway, devised by him 1970 as a zero-player game, was introduced as a trigger for the project. The topic we are dealing with here is slime mold. These unicellular amoebae feed and divide as long as food bacteria is present in the surrounding environment. As soon as the bacteria they feed upon gets over, amoebae enter a period called Interphase during which they develop the ability to aggregate at a central collecting point. The whole process is a selforganisational one, as all cells are acting without any guidance, neither from special guiding cells that coordinate the aggregations, nor by special pre-existing glues from the environment. They, thus, behave like a swarm.`

BRIEF_ To map a cross section through the city; search for an interesting aspect in the site and analyse it to provide an e(X)tension to the site. The site provided was SVP Road. This road cuts through the city from Marine Drive in the west to the docks in the east. Thus, a lot of building typologies are seen and varied activities are taking place throughout the section, giving the site a very rich context. One interesting aspect happening on site was the transportation of goods taking place to and fro where the warehouses existed on the site and the roads were like tracks on which the transport vehicles would move contonuously throughout the day. Mapping the routes taken by the vehicles made up some interesting diagrams. These diagrams became a driver for the design of an Urban Research Center onto the SVP Road.

BRIEF_To undergo an elaborate site analysis around a heritage structure and accordingly design an extension to the heritage structure itself. Parsi House is located in close proximity to the Versova fishing village. Once a private property, now the structure is administrative building for ice trade, an important rider to the fishing business. Also, there is a native boat buildiing workshop within the vicinity of the structure. The extension is a bost building school with an area of about 550 sq.m. Also, fifty percent of the original structure was to be retianed. The driver for the design was an experience of walking under hulls of the boats. This experience of a space was then understood as a form and thus, used as design element for the boad building school.

Revitalisation of Menavali Hospitality Project

BRIEF_To design a hospitality project serving different kinds of people ranging from hermits to artists, without affecting, or rather splendidly responding to the rural context. The projects serves a plethora of people coming into the village of menavali. Thus it consists of a hotel that serves artists, and tourists alike, accompanied by a dharamshala serving pilgrim tourists and a hermitage serving the hermits. The village, Menavali is situated on the banks of River Krishna. The ghats on the banks of this river serve as a multipurpose space for the villagers throughout the day ranging in different activities from washing clothes to performing arts. These ghats act as a visual backdrop to the project. Also, the existence of a large ‘shiva‘ temple on the ghats gives the whole vantage a very sacred quality. Thus, a lot of clues from temple architecture were taken into and used as triggers for design of the project.

BRIEF_To revive an otherwise ignored mega- scale site by proposing a program firmly rooted in the site and create an iconic megascheme or megastructure. The project encompasses around a very rustic reality of the site being a place where ships are built, and then dismantled after their shelf-life was over. This feature of the site relates back to the rich maritime history that the city has had. With the ship building docks being right next to the ship-breaking workshops, the whole process was visible happening in bits and pieces across the site. Thus, evolved the idea of creating a maritime museum, an infotainment center that elaborates about the maritime and the display boat building history of the city from its raw material to eventual dismantling of the ship. Also, the eastern coast has always been the coast of the elites where people would go for a sail onto theur private yachts. Yachts seem to have been contemporaries of the old ships.Thus, alongwith a maritime museum, a yacht retail outlet also has been proposed to add to the program’s very contrasting and iconic nature.

Kalanagar is a neighbourhood that falls in the heart of the Mumbai city. Also, it is a very major transportation node between the western and the eastern parts of the city. This fact leads to a lot of noise generating at the site itself.

The program chosen for the site was a workspace for various artists. A space where artists interact with each other, find their own space for focus and creativity to create art.
The site chosen was a public space set across the street that leads to Nauchaukia.
During the evening, the place becomes lively with lots of people around the chowk. People from surrounding areas come to this chowk in the evening as market is set up as fruit and vegetable sellers come in the evening.
There are people sitting on the otlas playing cards, reading newspapers and talking to each other.

BRIEF_To find an interesting chowk in the city of Jodhpur, understand its working and measure draw the chowk. A chowk is a common marketplace or a gathering at the junction of two or more roads in small towns. This exercise involved interaction with households surrounding a chowk and also mapping the activities that took place in and around the chowk throughout the day. Measure Drawings of these chowks were conducted to also get a sense of scale and intimacy of the chowk to the households and vice versa.
There are a group of otlas throughout a part of the street. People of different ages gather on different otlas.

BRIEF_The phase two of ‘The game of life‘ was carried forward to designing a full scale installation for the annual ‘Exhibition @ Corridor‘ held at BSSA. This installation was also chosen for display at Kala Ghoda Arts Festival, 2010 held in Mumbai.
WEDGES FOR SUPPORT
SPRING MECHANISM LOCUSTS The swarm analysed is the self-synchronisation observed in gregarious locusts. The transfer of signal is identified by either of the four wings in the direction of the wind velocity leading to the synchronized behaviour. The stimulating frequency between two locusts does vary from more than 10-15%.
BRIEF_To rejuvenate Kala Nagar transport junction and make it more efficient when it comes to handling trafffic and also make it pedestrian friendly. Kalanagar is one of the most important junctions of Mumbai. It is a major transportation node between western and central parts of the city. Thus, there’s always a continuous movement of vehicles and pedestrians through the junction. As a solution to the already existing chaos at the junction, changing the layouts of the vehicualr flow and exploring the existing public spaces which could enhance everyday life for daily commuter were the major driving forces. The entry bagged the ‘public choice’ award. Alongwith this, it also got an honorary mention at ‘Municipalika Urban Innovation Challenge‘ organised by ETHOS.
Enhancing the already existing under-used public spaces, we propose to convert the skywalk into an elevated garden leading from the Bandra station to the junction. The skywalk also connects to the Nandadeep garden via a ramp, revitalising the recreational space. A sustainable mode of transport, bicycles is proposed throughout the stretch of the elevated garden. thus, helps in decreasing the travel time and is an indirect approach towards decongesting the junction.

New diversions which segregate BKC traffic from Siondharavi going traffic is proposed. This segregation happens just before the traffic reaches the Kalanagar Junction, reducing congestion. The BEST buses continue using their original path into BKC but with a dedicated bus lane, thus not interfering with the ongoing traffic towards Sion.
At the crossover of the elevated garden and the road, the dedicated tracks for cycling and walking get interchanged. This interchange is intended as a response to cut the raging noise pollution from the traffic on the road beneath. The landscape helps in treating the skywalk acoustically as it absorbs most of the noise.

BRIEF_ My Very Own City(MVOC) exhibit is a collective display featuring some of the most forward initiatives carried out by 23 universities worldwide, representing a wide range of perspectives into the concept of Rethinking Cities. Featuring more than 50 projects, this exhibit aims to be a collaborative dialogue around five key concepts about cities: ‘citizen” , “infrastructure”, “mobility”, “informed urbs” and productivity. Responsive cities, distributed infrastructural networks, participatory informal settlements, adaptable habitat units, smart mobility systems, fab labs, new building metabolisms, productive territories and sustainable structures are some of the key concepts.
AGEING DREAMS It was decided to root the canopy design and meaning to very local conditions. Since the chosen site was the line of trees at Rampart Row, any change would emerge from and be driven by the trees themselves, which have been a feature of the street for nearly a century. To this end, it was concluded that a ‘leaf-catcher’ would embody the idea of change and ‘local-ness‘.
SHED LEAV
MATERIAL EXPLORATIONS The main concern related to the construction and material of the canopy was the strength of the tree, considering its age. Other concerns were the lightness of material, transparency, corrosion-resistance and availability. Materials such as fishing nets, jute and muslin fabric, polycarbonate sheets, plywood, palm thatch etc were considered. After careful consideration, the materials finally used for the canopy included aluminum hollow box sections with GI caps, wooden dowels bolted within the section with MS rod extensions to connect each member to the other. MS rods are passed through MS ring used to hold the members together, which are then welded together to gain maximum strength.
