The growing needs lead to ‘Town within a Hospital’ as a result of which the therapeutic needs of the patients and caregivers were neglected to optimize efficiency.
Healthcare Architecture needs to move beyond functionality and aesthetics, towards patient-oriented design. It will not only provide a better environment for the patients but also reflect on their length of hospital stays and treatment results, ultimately proving beneficial to both the patient and the medical authorities.

2,62,12 People with cancer are 2.65 times more likely to declare bankruptcy than people without cancer. Given that the poorest two-thirds of the population in India are in much greater need of better health-care provision than the wealthiest third, increased public investment in health services is a public policy priority. Providing affordable healthcare options and materializing them sustainably is the contemporary need.

Breaking down the scale of a space
A cancer patient requires 2 attendants through the treatment process. Also, due to high density, an individual may get overwhelmed by the scale of the space and the size of the crowd. To provide a psychologically comfortable and domestically proportionate space the programme has been broken down into modules.

Residential Complex, Bangalore Semester 7 Architectural Design Guides - Ar. Abhijeet Doshi & Ar. Prateek Banerjee
Massing around a ‘Courtyard’
Volumetric stepping
High rises with no consideration for communal activities are a common site in a metropolitan city. Centered around a courtyard, which is brought to life by amenities and social activities, are 6 residential buildings, designed with a connected rooftop which accommodates the clubhouse to promote cultural exchanges at not just the ground level but the roof level as well. The stepping of the building allows balconies on the inner side while providing shade on the outside. The ‘courtyard’ acts as the nucleus of the complex.

Creating layers via multiple structures
Site
Simple & bold
A want to know and discover the history and culture of a place is one of the many things that leads one to a tourist center. Creating curiosity via the form of the building can act as a magnet, thus attracting more visitors. This has been achieved though use of various design strategies. The visible and invisible volume of the proposed built mass ignites the interest of a beholder. The Exhibition Center has been designed as a journey which takes the user through the building. Ample public spaces and plazas have been provided to conduct cultural events.

Lakeside Retreat House & Chapel, Mumbai Semester 3 Architectural Design Guide - Ar. Chaitanya Karnik
Site plan
Legend
The shatter of glass is a loud noise followed by a pin drop silence. This silence symbolizes the peace one seeks at a retreat due to the occurrence of some disturbance in their life. From zoning to planning to facade design, the aesthetic of the glass shatter serves as the design concept. The design is centered around an open space, which is the point of impact. The intermediate open spaces are for meditation; providing privacy with not so many walls whilst nestled by nature to create a calming atmosphere. The maze leading to the lake is symbolic of the journey of a disturbed mind through ups and downs to achieve peace, which is experienced by the lakeside.

The chapel is open-to-sky. It accommodates walls of different materials symbolizing elements such as nature, light, reflection, simplicity and chaos. A devotee can simply sit in front of a wall of their choice and meditate and reflect in their own time. This allows complete privacy and provides a spiritual environment surrounded by nature.

The infinite potential
Public and self
Interdependence
With no time to look back, the current world is consumed by a constant race against time. The practice of the age old Indian art of meditation and yoga provides the opportunity to pause, introspect and discover our individual peace as we navigate through this journey. As the birthplace of meditation and yoga, the Indian Expo Pavilion aims to bring to light the experience and relevance of these cultural practices in our modern lives to a world forum. It symbolizes the marriage of ancient culture with the present times. The conceptual loop of infinity consists of 2 circles which stand for the introversion and extroversion of the self. The physical and spiritual journey through the pavilion hopes to imprint the minds of the attendees with a transcending experience of the Indian way of life.

Mapping Worli Koliwada An Urban Village in Mumbai
Summer School 2017, CEPT University + G5A Foundation Instructors - Kamalika Bose & Anuradha Parikh Group work | 14 Participants
Mumbai - Municipal Wards
Ward G/S
Vibrant communities lie at the heart of dynamic and resilient neighborhoods and cities. Mumbaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban villages, or gaothans, are historically endowed with a rich social and cultural capital leading quiet yet disconcerted existences. Struggling to fit into the mosaic of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contemporary urban culture is Worli Koliwada, one of the earliest fishing villages in Mumbai. We worked in groups, to interact closely with the local community to enable qualitative research and impressionistic mapping. Dovetailing into G5A CityLABâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing work on developing a participative and inclusive model for neighborhood governance, with a current focus on Solid Waste Management in the Worli Koliwada, we additionally looked into aspects of the physical neighborhood, livelihoods, heritage, culture and memories - and their changing patterns with time.
