Task:

Urban Design Project: Today, Mumbai local precincts are essential nodes of cities urban fabric. They project high footfall of the oating population in the city. Though these precincts are cities focal point and regularly accessed, they lack the sense of imageability, aesthetics, functionality, order and urban character. These precincts have a common characteristics pattern of congestion (Built form, streetscape), encroachments (Vendors), the haphazard network of secondary transit (Bus, auto, taxi, private vehicles), strong urban legibility.

Above images explains the shift in urban imageability. A person

Aim of this Master's thesis is to understand and decode the local station precinct and attempt to provide a rational solution to the above concerns.

The thesis also attempts to answer the key question raised through urban design interventions, illustrations, and urban design guidelines.

LAP MECHANISM

Raising plot values : As shown in 3D visualisation, the structure of the plots are unorganised and placed organically. These are small plots and not economically viable for new development.

Fair street access :

These plots have poor street access reducing its nancial potential in market to attract developers. Inefcient plot arrangement on the city land is not protable for city.

Plot amalgamation :

Amalgamation for the plots like this is extremely important as it increases the area of development. Smaller and individual plots can be encouraged to amalgamate to the neighbouring plots if they are given additional area to build for same land by incentivising over FSI.

04 Setback along the streets:

Plots facing the 15 Mt, + streets must have setback of 3 mt. with building built at built to line.

Demonstration of a single urban cluster:

Detailed out cluster gives the possibility of size of built envelope which can manifest by desired regulations.

Accommodating future development: Similarly other clusters can be developed through LAP mechanism. LAP

mechanism allows exible development which is context specic. This makes the development

Purpose of the report is to explain the design process achieved in the duration of Urban Design Studio 01. The focus of this studio is to look at the renewal projects within the functioning city. The premise is that sometimes in cities, development / redevelopment opportunities arise in the middle of a developed city. Increasingly our cities will witness such internal changes which provide opportunities for re-imagining the city. The studio will identify areas with renewal opportunities to develop an urban design proposal for them.

Arcades along the primary roads can give room for many activities by allowing pedestrian movements within the building.

Some building or plots are placed in a manner where there could be possibilities of creating a face for the node. 08 07 06 05

Kindergarten Bolivia: The primary focus and intention of the project is to develop a marriage between the proposed building and the surrounding environment. How does the building responses the context? Keeping this as a base idea the institutional space has been connected with the existing basketball ground. The overall meagreness with the inner learning spaces and the outside built environment is actually responses the creative mind set of the children. The entire language of the building system based on the grid structure where there is a vertical concrete support and the exposed brick wall with the tilted roof which has been developed around the basket ball courtyard. The openness of the classroom is intentional. The aim is to expose the kids with nature and to promote a new meaning of learning in an educational space.

STORY OF A SPORTSMAN

The importance of sports has been felt by the humans from the ancient times. Thus much importance was given to this part of the human life by all major civilizations. Although the nature of ancient sport varied widely, it existed all the time. But with the passage of time, sports became different and in the modern city life, it is becoming a rare event.

Idea was to address the social issues through leaning from the architecture academics and implementing as a solution to the issues around the society. I had an honour of initiating and founding a community service group with the help of student council body. ‘Anubhuti PiCA’ is a community service initiative by students of Pillai’s College of Architecture. In a tenure of 2 consecutive years we as a group initiated two major issues. 1) Refurbishment of Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram. 2) Addressing Safety Issue for Women in City. In the form of public art.

Dharmalaya Institute

Year:

2017

Location:

Bir, Himachal Pradesh, India

Task: Learning which on the spot hands on experience of building structures in local Kangra style of architecture.

Consciously carving out the soil from adjacent highly efficient quality mud region, respecting the contour and the planned landscapes for the formation of bricks. Sieved mud with high clay content with added mixture of pine needles and rice husk for better stability and grip between the bricks.

Workshop essentially focused on the earth building techniques influenced from the local style of Kangra Architecture. Dharmalaya Institute is designed and co-founded by highly honored Didi Contractor. Most of the techniques thought to us in the workshop was tried and tested successful architectural building implementations of Didi Contractor. Topics cover: 1)Making adobe-bricks 2)Forming adobe-bricks mixture 3)Forming plaster mixture 4)Plaster application 5)Ferrocement concrete floor slab 6) Theory lectures on earth construction etc.

Process of pugging with feet to make sure that the water reaches to the clay present in the soil. Pugging for 4-5 times makes the mixture perfect for brick making

Method of making bricks out of brick form work.

Laying the ready bricks in the Flemish brick bond pattern, at desired locations.

Roofing & slab considering load bearing walls, with the help of bamboo, cross woden beams, bamboo mesh, wire mesh and the ferrocement as the final layer.

Collective lecture, exploring the building designed by renound Didi contractor, with personal exchange of thoughts with architect Didi, about the current method of practice in urban context.
