Change in the built form. The visual transition and experience of people passing from the station to the central bushiness district.
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.
Transit station for local bus (BEST).
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. Through LAP mechanism and built form regulations attempt is to restructure a case of a local station precinct. The thesis also attempts to answer the key question raised through urban design interventions, illustrations, and urban design guidelines.
Images explaining the situation at the junctions. Which gives an idea of unorganised transit movement and the inefciency of the existing street width to cater to the quantum of movement along the site.

Setback along the streets:
Demonstration of a single urban cluster:
Plots facing the 15 Mt, + streets must have setback of 3 mt. with building built at built to line.
Detailed out cluster gives the possibility of size of built envelope which can manifest by desired regulations.
08
Accommodating future development: Similarly other clusters can be developed through LAP mechanism. LAP mechanism allows exible development which is context specic. This makes the development more rational and justify equity.

C.E.P.T - Semester 03 Project Type:
Academic project (Group Work)

CEPT University, Ahmedabad, India
Year:
2018
Location:
Surat, Ahmedabad, India
Task: Planning, presentation drawing, Site development, programme research, 3D modelling
Urban extension project Green ď€ eld site to be developed using either of two DEVELOPMENT MODEL i.e Town planning scheme or Township. Dumas, Surat was perceived as academic project to develop through development model. As a group project, it was approached as a township to develop keeping all the natural resources in mind. Street design for the project is part of individual work.
Street design exercise. Understanding the essential layers of the street. Proximity and positioning the desired layers together to generate ease of movement, vehicular transition, street services and furniture, built volume and environment and other crucial aspects of the street.

C.E.P.T - Semester 02 Project Type:

Task: Planning, presentation drawing, Site development, programme research, 3D modelling
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.

Map documents the general understanding of the site and its neighbourhood sectors. The mapping of resources gives fair idea of availability of amanitas in the neighbourhood with the potential of the site to contribute to the neighbourhood back by assessing its own strength. This data helps assessing the insights on trafď€ c movement, community living standards, pedestrian transition and other neighbourhood parameters to generate design potential.

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.
