Van Cortlandt Park Master Plan 2030 NYC Parks: Planning & Parklands
Van Cortlandt Park Master Plan 2030, presents a long-term comprehensive plan to recover this beautiful urban landscape. 3 major highways currently segment the park creating six park zones with poor inter-connectivity. This plan serves as a guide for a coordinated long-term effort that will make Van Cortlandt Park a vital part of its community as well as City’s healthiest and most scenic forest and brook environment. Following excerpts are from the master plan report created in July, 2014.
RESPONSIBILITIES Master Plan Assistant/Intern Design development Design research Site analysis Drawings, maps, illustrations and renderings Design documentation Preparation of final report
02 MASTER PLAN
VISION
Van Cortlandt Park will be the City’s healthiest and most scenic forest and brook ecosystem. It will have carefully orchestrated trails and paths for running, biking, walking and horseback riding. The trails will flow without conflict past scenic areas and fertile habitats, linking communities together and to desirable and cultural destinations.

Crotona Park Master Plan 2030
PROJECT DESCRIPTION Crotona park is one of the most important parks in the City of New York. It is the ‘Central Park’ of South Bronx and is used by nearly 180,000 Bronx residents. It is both a beautiful & complex landscape and an important resource for recreational facilities. This long-term comprehensive plan aspires to emphasize the park’s scenic landscape and historic landmarks along with an effort to protect its natural resources and make it safer & accessible to the surrounding community.

FAR ROC : For a Resilient Rockaway - Design Competition Illustrations for Agnes Denes Artist
PROJECT DESCRIPTION FAR ROC design competition explored innovative strategies for the planning, design and construction of a resilient and sustainable development at Arverne East, an 80+ acre site on the Rockaway Peninsula. Artist Agnes Denes’s proposal concentrated on a constructed stabilized dune system that would secure the peninsula from severe storms and rising sea levels. The dunes were proposed to have sand shrubs and pitch pines with shallow interlocking roots to hold and strengthen the dunes from high wind and water surge. The dune system formed a series of small and mega dunes, incorporating public art and boardwalk.

Redesigning the Public Realm in Rego Park, Queens PROJECT DESCRIPTION
MUP - Hunter College, CUNY
Solution ONE: Outside In
This paper investigates a 1.5 square mile region in Rego Park, Queens. It identifies current planning and urban deign issues underlying in this region, analyses best practices and comes up with suitable solutions.
Public Park/Square in place of existing parking lot Convert Junction Blvd. into one way, one lane shared street Provide pedestrian crosswalk connecting Mall Plaza to existing & proposed Park
The 2 solutions proposed are evaluated in detail by using the decision matrix and one alternative is selected in the conclusion section. Costs, technical feasibility, timeliness and overall effectiveness are the dominating decision makers in this project. Sustainability (economic, social, environmental) and Urban Design are the fundamental drivers for this project. The research also delves into plaNYC’s goals for parks and public spaces that involve activating the streetscape & re-imagining the public realm.
Rego Center Mall Buildings
AT&T Corner could become a pedestrian plaza Landscape median on Queens Blvd & 62nd Drive Increased tree cover with bioswales along the sidewalks
Solution TWO: Inside Out Proposed roof garden on top of Rego Center Mall. This space could be used as a public space for the Mall or a community garden for the Rego Park community. Additional mall entrances will activate the streets.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The following decision matrix selects Solution ONE: Outside In’ as the winning alternative with 18 points over the 15 points of Solution TWO: Inside Out. Both the solutions in terms of environmental, social & economic analysis fairly align with each other, however Solution ONE turns out to be more effective in recreating the public realm. With improvements to the actual streets and outdoor open spaces,solution ONE increases the effectiveness covering a
wider area in the study region. A Mile long strips of vegetated bioswales, tree cover and landscaped medians create a natural ecological corridor while cleaning out air and reducing noise pollution. The green roof in Solution TWO also contributes to these effects but on a much smaller scale because of its isolated location.

Undergraduate Thesis Community Centre Community centers are positive instruments that promote healthy, active & social life in a community. With their varied activity they bring people together where maximum interaction of people at a range of levels is possible easily.
JJCOA, University of Mumbai
The site measuring 2.18 hectare and surrounded by residential buildings was situated at Worli, Mumbai. The design concept was based on 2 linear arms, one of which contained all the sports activities and the other had ancillary services.
The design challenge was to design the most common spaces but with a creative, complex, hierarchical and efficient symbiosis with other types of spaces in the program.
24 14 Both axis were further divided vertically at different levels. The meeting point of the two axis serves as the main entrance of the centre.
central open space
Central open space in the structure is situated to the north-west, which is the predominant wind direction of the city. This space is occupied by the leisure pool, & lower and upper decks that serve as a public outdoor space. As a public amenity this structure needs to be attractive inside out. At the same time it has to be extremely functional. It is expected to be lavish and luxurious but in a most reasonable way. Hence the design aimed for a building that is not only functional but aesthetically pleasing.

Undergraduate Work LANDSCAPE DESIgN Vajreshwari is a place in Thane district, app. 30 km from Mumbai City, where a number of natural hot water springs are found on the banks of river Tansa. This religious place raws a number of visitors all around the year. The site needed a holistic landscape planning that could accommodate the visitors, their requirements and a beautiful riverfront.
JJCOA, University of Mumbai
Landscape Design of this site accommodates a number of spaces like, meditation center, a restaurant, rest rooms and shops. The concept plan above shows the separation of spaces. In the master plan, various native trees are used for different purposes. For example, 1. Near hot water springs are fragrant flowering trees like plumeria & claracasana to prevent the pungent smell of sulphur. 2. The meditation area is kept in recluse with the help of tall and thick foliage of trees that provide a comfortable shade and are also good sound barriers.

This project demanded an ability to form creative elaboration and maximum expansion from a small piece of paper. A letter sized sheet, colored on one side and white on the other was converted into this form by cutting, folding and expanding it out. It was later pasted on a black board. The more we could enlarge the artwork the better it was.
