Dissertation
Overview of dissertation Wetlands are an important link between water sources and land. It is a land area that is saturated with water either permanently or temporarily, such that it takes on the characteristics of a distinct ecosystem. Increasing tourism and human imposition is becoming a huge threat.Large number of people living in and around wetlands have been encroaching upon these areas and a lot of it has already been drained due to agricultural activities, urban expansions, human activities like tourist development points, recreational activities, economical gains etc. These activities need to be controlled or atleast regulated and performed in such a way that the nature around is not at risk.
Where man meets nature... A case of Nalsarovar
Abstract This dissertation represents the entire process of shaping and establishing human activities at Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary, which is the natural conservation site in Gujarat. Being visited by thousands of tourists every year, Nalsarovar is still missing the sensitivity that could help the visitors understand the importance of wetlands and bio diversity existing there. The main objective is to improve the way of visiting Nalsarovar and to create awareness in people’s minds, the significance of wetlands and conservation of natural heritage.
Approach Stage 1 Brief study related to wetlands and the ecology surrounding it. What are Wetlands Type of Wetlands- inland wetlands, manmade wetlands, coastal wetlands, shallow lakes, ponds, bogs, marshes, swamps, estuaries. Values of Wetlands- direct values, indirect values Threats & Benefits Wetland Ecosystem- wetland zones- lemantic zone & littoral zone Wetland Landscape- hydrophytes, submergent hydrophytes, emergent hydrophtes, floating plants, rooted submergent hydrophytes 1
Stage 2

Limited vehicular access to the state highway edge. Mode of transportation towards site b is sustainable i.e. animal carts or cycles or golf carts for the handicapped and aged people.) Protecting the core and buffer zones by not allowing the boating and restaurant facilities on the island which protects the breeding birds from human nuances. Instead, developing “boardwalk” and “island hopping” activities for visitor’s amusement, thereby striking a balance between man and nature. Classification of activities happening on the wetland, analyzing and zoning them under the intensive and multiple use area. Optimum awareness generation about the importance of biodiversity by introducing certain features Constructed wetlands on Site A which acts as a prelude to the lake and sanctuary. Island hopping activity allows people come closer to the ecosystem. Eco-walk makes visitors aware about different flora and plant species. Limited access to aviaries and the exhibitory on Site B might make people want to be more careful around the natural heritage sites of there on-doings. Trying to inculcate certain green practices such as Segregation of waste materials and managing the solid waste and compost preparation. Green roof which is accessible to everyone, thus letting people enjoy views during sunset from a height even if the entrance to the lake shuts down. Solar canopies over parking serves the purpose of shading as well as generating electricity. Constructed wetlands surrounded by a green buffer, acts as a pause point for the birds.

Conclusion Wetland parks should generally be designed to combine wildlife and habitat preservation with a strong emphasis on recreation and education. Parks that provide nature conservation and interpretation in conjunction with both formal and informal recreational activities tend to be the most successful. Careful zoning, generating optimum awareness regarding nature conservation and protection of the existing bio-diversity through direct and indirect measures shall help strike an equilibrium between man and nature.

Borsad has good connectivity with neighbouring villages & falls on Vasad- Tarapur highway. Agriculture is the primary source of income. Lot of private hospitals and multi speciality doctors have settled in Borsad.
Lacks higher education, recreational and civic infrastructure facilities. Lack of developed spaces for agro based business to flourish. Lack of architectural character and awareness regarding heritage structures.
Youths of Borsad migrate to other cities for higher education and job opportunities. Increasing number of waste lands and accumulation of nontreated waste. Bhobha lake considered as a dump yard causing ecological imbalance.
- Developing educational and business hubs that also supports neighboring villages. Platform for farmers to train develop and communicate to the agro industries. Conversion of open spaces and unused land for recreational purposes.

Choice of sites :
d.
Being in the midst of nature, a design that could complement the context and preserving the existing vegetation could become an interesting challenge. HIG & MIG group of people are focused on, to be provided with the comfort of serene and reassuring ambience with the luxuries a farmhouse could provide. Certain initial concepts of open floor plans, multi level terraces, linear balconies, sea-facing views, vertical landscape, incremental housing are kept in mind while design decisions.
-
Unique style in housing not only due to demand, physical location, and climate but also due to its Development Control Regulations, By laws, zoning and FSI. All these collectively contribute to a housing that absorbs and produces a scheme that is fit for todays and future needs.

S W T -O
The site is isolated and thus, more importance to the security factor should be given. It is a flood prone area. Connected to sewer lines.
Public ammenities are not available nearby. Railway station is far off.
Good opportunity to develop weekend/holiday homes. Developing site as a beach front for nature’s optimum use.

Saath - Community Living at Umreth While designing the community living, main objective was to maintain the three circulation nodes to allow the permeablity. Secondly, the division of residential and other ancillary facilities like aanganwadi, library, dispensary, community hall- dining- kitchen were seperated by a vehicular road. Courtyards and green spaces are strategically placed as a sharing space between different activities. A heirarchy of pol structure has been tried to maintain which can be obsreved in the sections. 1

Basic Design
Basic design was related to the profound understanding of line, form, space, colour, structure, composition, visualization and correlation of spaces, proportions, articulation exercises from 2 dimension to 3 dimension and other such related exercises. Other techniques such as inking, stripling, painting, sketching, wood carving, printing, modelling etc. were also perceived.
