Derivation of the Site Layout Based on the Poem of the Right Angle a symbolic connection was made in the division of the site. The 4 rows of multiple squares symbolise 4 kinds of units and their multiplicity, and the 3 single squares represent the 3 pause spaces.
The aim was to provide living environments for the middle class which makes up for the majority of society in Ahmedabad, and to introduce them to a new sort of lifestyle and amenities not available to them currently.
Imprisoned by four walls, To the North,the crystal on non knowledge, To the south, reflective memory, To the East, the mirror, To the West, the stone and the song and silence, I wrote messages, But received no reply.

DISTRICT JAIL SEMESTER NINE (ONGOING THESIS)
ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to examine the current incarceration system in India, particularly Delhi, through the social conditions that have caused it to function in its current state, with the intention of deriving a new design and outlook that will function within the same constitutional framework and at the same time be the first step towards solving its problems. The incarceration system in India varies from states to state. Even though there is no authority governing this system at the centre, all states follow a similar pattern. The thesis is based on a government proposal for a District Jail (2nd tier prison) in Delhi NCR, which will be its first. It will be a part of Tihar Prisons,which is one of the largest prisons in Asia. It will house a majority of non-violent prisoners. The thesis looks to address the issues of over crowding and recidivism. This is done through the implementation of a new typology of prison facility that symbolically merges the program of incarceration, education and small scale industries. The prison will be divided into seven colonies, each responsible for the production of one product, the profits of which will go towards victim relief. The facility will further contain a Reintegration center which will act as a pause between society within and beyond the prison walls.
