The socio-political and physical implications of a nano enhanced urban environment relevant to new strategies for urban adaptation. The integration of design thinking with scientific scenario building toward effective storytelling/representation via video animation.

Redwood City
PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT
With a small population of 76,815 (according to 2010 census) and an area of approximately 19 sq. miles, Redwood city is one of the major employment centres in the Bay area. Redwood city has very little to offer in terms of amenities and recreation to its community. The city’s industrial history has looked back on the existing waterfront and its potential. Over the last decade Redwood city has spent considerable time and effort revitalizing its downtown, cleaning the waterfront getting rid of all the misuse of important land, taking steps to connect the community to the rich ecological treasure that surrounds them. engage and activate the community to deliver a development model that reconciles urban systems with San Francisco Bay.

Introduction to Studio Thesis To RE - DEFINE the role of the commercial corridor as a dynamic intensification of leisure work and culture. Site specific strategies along the commercial corridor that transform latent forces specific to particular regions into new experimental urban typologies.

Is centrally located with proximity to major amenities such as schools, downtown, the Grand Canal, It is also a socially and physically diverse district. Physical separation of the north and south side of the corridor, large areas of surface parking lots which form a significant barrier to a coherent pedestrian system that integrates north and south sides. Presently fragmented nodes of activities reconnected to make it Major nodes in the corridor that emphasize the movement, intersection, and exchange among various types of flows. The strategy aims to redefine the current method of development that the adjoining neighbourhood is familiar with and to infuse all the amenities necessary for a neighbourhood to sustain itself within very close proximity. The idea is to demonstrate how the same space can be utilized and take complete overturn from the present unsustainable method into an area 10 min walking distance from a light rail stop being a self sufficient development integrating commercial, recreation, residential that integrates needs for different classes.
Access Radius - Analysis of different network radius dependng on the latent potential that can be advatageous towards maximizing interactions between neighboring conditions specific to the region.

Studio Aim Core urban design studio emphasizing the integration of architecture, landscape, and infrastructure as influences on urban form. Examining emerging Arizona urbanism. Three challenging questions What is the contemporary city? What are the broader ecological, environmental, infrastructural and socio-cultural systems and processes that create our emerging contemporary city? What new urban design initiatives and innovative design strategies should we propose?
13
New design strategy for an emerging Arizona environment Revitalizing Route 66 Route 66 forms an integral part of the city of Flagstaff. It passes through the centre dividing downtown to the North of it and the University of Arizona and its surrounding neighbourhoods to the south. The Strategy was to simply examine the existing condition, identify the voids which could clearly turn into opportunities or potential to revitalize Route 66. All this in order to Revitalize the now underutilized spine - Route 66 and help connect the two divides. Celebrating the historic importance of Route 66 and using it as a symbol to stitch the divided communities - city back. Historic Route 66, now named Santa Fe Ave has become a strip of urban voids. Once seen as an icon social node, has now become a place of opportunity for a new identity. By reusing the existing conditions, reorganizing the systems and redefine its typology; this strip can become the active public place it once was. Programs will encourage community interaction, bring economic opportunity and allow cultural exchange.

The heart of the New City brings the community together, connects all the different patches. Topography - Keeping the natural topography, creating an urban space for the community to come together.
New Urban Landscape
Planes - The different levels act as planes at various levels housing different activities. Activities - a modern conglomerate of cultural self expression and selfidentification of many artists and musicians. It is a social and cultural park with activities that include workshops, gymnasiums, playgrounds, exhibition spaces, concerts and event spaces. At night during summer, the broad playing fields become an open-air movie theatre.

Giving Flagstaff a new definition making it The Destination on the way to the Grand Canyon, introducing new economic opportunities and increasing local and tourist interaction. Patches were identified with specifically defining uses for economy, industry, education, sports and recreation and culture. Transforming these critical spaces with the help of hybrid forms of architecture and the principles of combinatory urbanism. Introducing a new amenity infrastructure for the city of Flagstaff to take advantage of.
Technology Park, Corporate Offices and Education Business and Technology - Tapping the future potential for the economy of Flagstaff, the future shift should be to encourage local businesses and technological developments. By providing for these activities Flagstaff city will garner job opportunities for not only the current residents but will also attract many more from outside the city. This could become the hub for global exchange. Along the Route 66, a series of small industrial buildings to help local businesses and to provide jobs for the native artisans, teaching them new digital technology skills. The technology park supports these activities and brings in more companies.

The International Network for Traditional Building, Architecture and Urbanism, is a network of individuals and institutions dedicated to the creation of humane and harmonious buildings & places which respect local requirements. INTBAU’s architecture and urban design workshop brought together practitioners, craftsmen, decision makers and the community on a common platform to direct architecture and urban grown into a sustainable paradigm. Shivaji Road An important heritage corridor, Connects the administrative centre (PMC) & traditional market (Mandai). With its porous boundaries has the right ingredients to highlight issues pertaining to the inner core. Vision for Pune To create a coherent, sustainable and democratic place to Regenerate, revitalize and protect our heritage and traditions Establish civic and community identity Increase its cultural and economic value Provide space for both the organized and unorganized sector Reconnect the city with its river Through a co-ordinated programme for urban management. The Charrette process aimed to bring together key decision makers, facilitators and stakeholders to collaborate in articulating a vision for the inner city of Pune. An intensive 4-day design workshop facilitated by a multi-disciplinary design team, the objective of the charrette was to highlight and give directions to site specific issues at design, planning as well as policy level. The baseline study involved understanding the issues related to the historic core of the city through Surveys and feedbacks collected from the concerned stake-holders Discussions with professionals. Collection of data and a qualitative analysis of the site, over a period of 6 months A comprehensive documentation was put together. The aim of the Charrette was to Propose a model for the inclusive and comprehensive growth of the historic core of Pune Reconcile this with the aims and aspirations of all the key stakeholders.

One space easily flows into the other and yet each space stands individually from each other. One enters from the humble scale of the foyer to the sudden explosion of the double height living room. A light cantilevered concrete staircase leads to the second floor private area of the master bedroom and family room.
