DESIGN DISSERTATIONOUR FUTURE CITY Year 5- Semester 9
Falling Apart
2020- Academics
Our city is broken, fractured and distorted. It is an attribute of our hyper-consumerist and capitalist society. The city is a center of population and culture. It is also a concentration of built infrastructure, capital and architecture. It shows an imagery of both: Growth and decay Construction and destruction We have imagined a superlative of this imagery as our future. But is it relevant now?
Thesis (in progress) Mentor: Ar. Atrey Chhaya
The problem of Futurist architecture is not one of readjusting lines, neither does it make format distinctions between old and new buildings but rather constructs new buildings around a sane plan, with full advantage of every technological and scientific resource available. The formidable antithesis between the modern and ancient worlds is determined by everything that did not formerly exist. Elements have entered our lives that the ancients could not even imagine. Material circumstances and spiritual attitudes have arisen with a thousand repercussions. In 2050s, the architecture and its solutions will be mostly answering todays issues and problems. The architecture built of 2050s already exists today; but on 2050- someone is going to do something else with them- RETACKLE THEM. ARCHITECTURE MUST BE NEW, JUST AS OUR STATE OF MIND IS NEW! The future is agile, mobile, dynamic, and COMING 2
A City Machine “The repetitions and regimentations of the bureaucratic system” — the work of data processing, formatting, and storage — left a “deep mark,” as Mumford put it, on the early modern city. Mumford’s city is an assemblage of media forms (physical and electronic records, oral histories, lived cultural heritage); agents (architectures, institutions, media technologies, people); and functions (storage, processing, transmission, reproduction, conceptualization, operationalization). It is a large, complex, and varied epistemological and bureaucratic apparatus. It is an information processor, to be sure, but it is also more than that.
With the help of rendering Visualizations and creating scenarios from memory and predictions, the need for the future is established. It is only when one understands the current scenario when a fresh vision of the future can be imagined.
Research Phase included Diagramming, sketching, documentation and visualizations of present and fore-coming realities.

With the help of rendering Visualizations and creating scenarios from memory and predictions, the need for the future is established. It is only when one understands the current scenario when a fresh vision of the
future can be imagined.
New Rainforest It dawns upon mankind that an era has past, what seems to be ugly and disturbing, has given rise to ‘The New Rainforest’. Decay is a process rather than a mere outcome, it provokes thoughts and actions. It is aloof from progress and growth and still chooses to grow at its own pace. Tars and Cars... of lands afar, Some ephemeral moss... on our gained loss, what’s begone is begone, whilst stands the man in his decay alone.
Rusting City The city’s scars are a stimuli for the mind- they visualize the passage of time and the inevitability of collapse, rusting and obsolesce, reminding us of our own transience. Dystopan preparation and an artistic potential, these ruins emanate from industrialization and urbanization of the gone by centuries.

Slums Affordable Housing is a problem that many countries are taking stock of, world over. In India, the problem is much more stark with an estimated shortage of around 18million houses, with 99% of this in the economically weaker sections of society. A concern that need be addressed- how does affordable housing (AH) afford residents more than just the basic needs enumerated above. Can AH be adaptable so that it allows for people to add or modify or respond to changing needs and at the same time valorize their lives more than the present. The idea of communal housing seemed promising and the strength is in numbers. Shared Spaces and hybrid areas are necessary. What do you design as owned and what is shared- comes from how much VALUE is there in SHARING. This concludes with providing a category as broad as possible for the end user. 6

- Hanging clothes - Storage space - Spill-out place during multiple times of the day - Place for interaction
Process As a part of the study, different typologiesDharavi Slums, Jhopdis, Transit Camps, Chawls, SRA projects and other dwellings were documented across the city of Mumbai.
- Hanging clothes - Place to play cricket, etc. - Wash clothes - Storage space - Spill-out place during multiple times of the day - Place for interaction
Understanding the lifestyles, the aspirations of the residents through their space, the quality of a neighbourhood- is what helped shaped the idea of the need for community housing.
- Living Room - Bed and Study Room
It was realized that the nomenclature of the daily spaces Vs. how we actually use it: were very different; and hence, these observations helped in the organization of the designed spaces.
- Wash Area - Toilet
The technique used was of cataloging the spaces in these typologies.
- Hanging clothes - Place to play cricket, etc. - Wash clothes - Storage space - Spill-out place during multiple times of the day - Place for interaction
- Living Room - Bedroom - Storage space - Spill-out place during multiple times of the day - Place for interaction

The design incorporates having the ground floor dedicated to shared spaces which provide the residents with a recreational space as well as an additional source of income due to the rental spaces. It also helps them generate income if they take part in the Urban Farm, communal kitchen and other such facilities. Coworking and co-sharing spaces have been given priority and are provided at different scales on different floors. 14

THE BANDRA PROJECT Year 4- Semester 7
2019- Academics Programme: Transit Hub- with multiple programmes (Transit Oriented Dev.) Mentor: Ar. Atrey Chhaya Site: Bandra West, Mumbai
The studio aimed at designing a Transit Hub in the central hub of Mumbai- Bandra. The site has 4 major contenders of emitting people influx into the site: The Bandra railway station, the recreational Bandra Talao, the Bandra Bus Depot and the Jami Masjid. Along with the mentioned, a new metro station is getting built too. Under these circumstances, a transit hub providing both aid to people movement and enhancing the functionality of the site is proposed. The design focuses to evolve a balanced mix of commercial, residential, social, recreational and mixed use public spaces. The open and public plazas are provided keeping in mind the absorption quality of those features. A part of the proposal has been detailed out for the studio.

Emissions
The capacity is to understand the existing absorption capacities of the existing units and structures on site (hawkers, shops, etc): and then to provide for a design which absorbs those in-transit people flows in a more efficient and experiential way. The people flow is categorized into Flockers, Wanderers, in-transit due to the present attractors and repellors. 17

THE LEARNING CENTRE Year 3- Semester 6
2018/19- Academics
Model 1.1: exploring the insides and outsides- transitions between mass and void
Programme: Learning Centre- Sports Mentor: Ar. Tapan Deshpande Site: Irla, Vile Parle, Mumbai
The studio was conceptualized around the Idea of learning. Given the site and function, one had to perceive the true idea of learning and design a learning center for sports. Learning was looked at as a Field- a battlefield, a a magnetic field with nodes, hubs and points of attraction. It is the state of constant transience between the comfort zone and outside of it. One learns when it experiences these changes. It is a continuous friction. The design proposes this nature of friction and it energizes the entire site to concentrate the mental and physical energies of individuals to the holistic approach at learning sports. 30

GALLE INSTITUTE OF PERFORMING ARTS Year 3- Semester 5
2018- Academics Programme: Dance and music Institute, Cultural Centre Mentor: Ar. Trilochan Chhaya, Ar. Sapna Lakhe Site: Galle Fort, Sri Lanka Co-partner: Dushyant Wagh Based on a study trip to Sri Lanka- engaging with the works of Geoffrey Bawa.
The project is based in the landscapes of Sri Lanka. The project is designed with the contours and the cultural ethos of Galle Fort. A performing arts centre with night bazaars and cultural amphitheater is proposed. It not only aims at reviving the traditions of Sri Lanka, but also encourages tourism in the area. Learning from the Sri Lankan Master- Bawa and his art of bringing in nature into his designs, the structure is built within the contours and has landscape pocketing within it to enhance the public aspect of the programmes. The concept is inspired by the dynamic and static poses of the Sri Lankan dance form and music and the movement of the body and soul is thus translated into physical space. The roof is designed with vision cones and it is a feature incorporated to attract the human eye. It merges with the landscape and still maintains its own identity. The bold form organically morphs into the earth and allows for the perfect balance of built and unbuilt. 36

DESIGN RESEARCH AND PROPOSAL METHOD
This design proposal for Galle Fort developed out of the practice of making large- scale measure drawings, models and detailed notes while on the study trip (in Sri Lanka) as well as post that. Contour mapping and on-foot observations have been carried out for the documentation. A wide range of scales and media have been used to test and explore the landscape of the site as well as the fringe conditions. KEY: 1. Portfolio- tracings of documentation on site 2.

CONCEPT AND FORM DEVELOPMENT
Vision cone study to develop the form further
Classical Dance of Sri Lanka- Kandyan Characteristics: - Instruments: Bera Drums and Cymbals - transitions through movement of angles and stances. - dynamism - powerful footwork - leaps - supernatural beings - Tandava type - energetic - basic shape is square, allowing movement of torso from side to side - the eyes follow the hands - ecstatic/ trance
The circulation and stance of the structure is designed as per the postures of the Kandyan dance. 1. Tanama (cymbal+drummers)- Marks the opening 2. Mantras - In all directions leading to an open or circular form - Spreading out in form - Jumps and twirls 4. Kashirama- fast and complex 5. Aclauwa 6. Sirumanam The design conceptually follows the above mentioned movement.

The aim of the studio was to rethink the future of markets and the revival and revalorisation of markets in the city. Markets grow exponentially and the scale and density of the market are main factors of curating the MARKET EXPERIENCE. So taking that idea forward, the proposed plan recreates the traditional Market Experience in a new module. It revolves around the multiplicity concept. The technique of folding and surfacing has aided the design Andheri Site being a major transit hub in the city, is home to a lot of small scale shops/ hawkers as well as larger units like the NADCO. The real challenge was to design the market in a experiential way without causing hindrance to the in-transit movement and activity. 44

2017- Academics Project: Sculpture/ Installation Mentor: Ar. Atrey Chhaya, Ar. Mahek Lalan, Ar. Disha Saigal Group: Dhun M, Jeeya S, Param G, Shiva P, Urmi N
Realized Project The installation is inspired by the symbiotic exchange between the Hawaiian Bobtail Squid and the Vibrio Fischeri bacteria. The squid attracts the bacteria to its light organ located at the bottom of its 3cm body. Appendages around the organ catch the bacteria and transport them into the pores of the organ with the cilia present on it. These are hair-like motile cells that move simultaneously, creating a wave movement which transports the bacteria forward. The installation is a segment of this organ lined with cilia.

What connects us in today’s day and age? The systems of Internet and social media are the ‘dhaga’ between all of us. We use the Internet as a platform to portray our emotions and to express ourselves. Our screens (mobile phone/ computer/ television/ laptop screens) are the medium through which we communicate. The installation Hey!Wire is a depiction of how all the emotions co-exist together in different proportions and it shows how on this platformanger, joy, happiness, stubbornness, etc. all have a separate representation: sharp edges display anger, while soft curves and gentle gestures symbolize the happy and calm mind. Rigid angles show stubbornness and drooping forms show fear and sadness. The reflective sheets are these ‘screens’. 52
The concept of connection coming to life- the users getting connected to each other via the screens and then later through Hey!wired posts on social media
53
The reflective sheets are these ‘screens’. Through the ‘screens’, an intangible connection takes place- one sees a reflection of their own self as well as a visual of the person on the other side. These networks link us and we somewhere do get wired in this `Hey!Wire’. The co-existence of emotions in the final form, all connected by that dor- that bandhan- The Cables of the Internet and the Screens of Reflection. 54

THE CINEMATIC CIRCLE ARCHASM Cannes Temporary Cinema Competition
2020- Competition Group: Jeeya S, Khushbu M, Dhun M
Site: Plage Long Beach, Cannes A Film is an illusion created by a scenic coordination of light, space and movement. The art of producing this film is what we know as cinema. The Cinematic Circle uses movement, space and light to make the visitor experience the real art of film-making.
Movement, Space and Light As the primary concept strategy the structure is designed to allow the user to walk around the structure without any obstacles. The spiral ramps that cut through different parts of the structure take the user through every function in no particular order. The journey of this ascend is like a motion story board, a montage of the evolution of cinema with images of past and present films and artists that made a mark in cinematic history. The ascend unfolding like a film reel, introductory in the beginning leading to the climax, and then dramatic at the end with the ramp ending on a platform in the center of the structure, providing a 360 degree vision of all the displays. The central bowl is covered with a roof that allows light to enter only at some places, strategically creating dark spaces that enhance the experience of the user. Four other bowls surround the central bowl, all interconnected through ramps or bridges. Each bowl providing spaces for different uses - CafĂŠ, screening, exhibition, gallery spaces are designed to further enhance the experience of films and cinema. The small bowls along with the large central one complete the journey of the user taking them through extended shots and montages created with incident light. The whole experience is tied together as the front elevation of the structure opens up to the sea, with the arches framing the scenic view creating repetitive frames and invoking the love for cinema in the user.

REVIVING MUMBAI’S PORTLAND COLAB Long Span Structure
2019-2020 : Competition Architecture and Engineering Collaborative Team with students from NMIMS Mukesh Patel ST Engineering
Site: Darukhana, Mumbai Site Darukhana means ‘gunpowder factory’, was named for the gunpowder industry in the area. The port is characterized by three jetties in the form of open fingers and the basins that are formed between them. The development of Darukhana as trading port was initiated by British in the early 19th century. The area was purely industrial, while its surrounding areas of Mazgaon and Byculla were home to erstwhile Bombay’s elite. On the Gunpowder Road, one enters the heart of Darukhana, a bustling maze of shops, shacks and godowns. Due to the creation of the Mazgaon dockyard in the 18th century, the area has been dominated by the shipping industry, with a large number of the people involved in ironworks and dealing in parts of ships that are broken at the harbor. Many scrap dealers come to Darukhana to a variety of parts which would otherwise go to waste. There is steel scrap and ship breaking market and a network created, based on monopoly. All the businesses that goes on in this area are temporary. Design The intent was to design without disturbing the existing settlements on site, an attempt to interconnect the other two fringes and revive the market that flourished here. The project proposes and interconnection between the fringes and thus, creating a public space for the people which also allows for growth of the existing small scale industries. The structure is also lifted at multiple points to allow for open ground for the public- to have parking space, play area, shaded walking area under the structure. And internally the structure aims to house a range of functions related to wholesale, art and recreation.

School is a very important part of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, the values and learnings children are moulded with- stays with them for life. Hence, this school is designed to encourage a new learning method from the very beginning. A student finds his/her self usually during the university stage, he finds his way out through the various classes and also makes many choices on his own during that stage- the design for this school also works on the same concept. The programs in the school are placed in a way that encourages the student to manoeuvre through, in and out, the entire school in order to reach their destination. The colour bands lead them and also develop their creative minds. Having to choose from multiple classes, develops their sense of choice-making and interacting with their peers helps their communication skills. Thus, the design focuses on the circulation paths coded with colours. Spaces are also designed keeping in mind the age group and to allow for creativity in play. The various levels, terraces and pathways help them grow in different surroundings and make them independent.
