“Architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives: the process of manifesting our society into our physical world”.

-Bjarke Ingels

We live in a time where cities are in a state of constant growth and change. The appli cation of architecture and design is a crucial part of building our society. Architecture should adapt and evolve with its user and surroundings. It can knowingly or unknowingly change an individual’s way of life. Practical and responsible architecture can help rec ompense in providing a better future for generations to come. As architects, we need to have a well-informed attitude and a deeper perspective of the various layers and undertones of the city while positively transforming an urban environment.

PROPOSAL SCHEME

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project aims to propose the regen eration of the public realm situated at the business district of NOMA in Man chester under the Manchester Coun cil regeneration scheme. The site cur rently lays deserted with only residents living around using it as a route to commute through. The site has a huge potential of being a thriving public space due to its location and context. The site lacks a sense of enclosure. This thesis aims at regenerating this site through the means of placemak ing. The proposal allows the site to make connections with its surrounding through the fuctional mounds. Each mound consists a particular space targetting a particular connection. This allows the prospective user to visit the site. The addition of greenery was essential to the site. The thesis aims to provide for a soft intervention by grouping up various strategies for the regeneration of NOMA.

I first visited the site on a week day hoping to see NOMA for the first time. Being a business district, imagined it to be crowd ed with commuters and office goer. Instead was welcomed with a desert ed site. NOMA hardlt had any people. The massive scale of the public realm was completely empty.

The CIS tower which a great history and heritage value, stand completely vacant and is left to decay

The “green spaces” on site and feature made for the public to use lacks usability and function. The public realm is unwelcoming.

The site is flooded with car parks wherever you go , even after being so close to the rail way, tram, and bus station.

NOMA’s neighbouring areas like the Market Street and the Picadilly gardens are always seen bustling with people. While NOMA being 200m away from Printworks is deserted.

PUBLIC SPACE

The existing public realm lacks function. It currently just a vast space of land between the the structures and does not provide any function for the users.

CAR PARKS

The plot owners in and around the site have converted their plots into car parks as a source of income. These car parks are theoritically have huge potential or of becoming public spaces.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

As seen in the walking routes analysis, majority of the people using the site currently are the surrounding residents. The site is only used to transit from by them and do not particularly create an experience.

CONNECTION TO CITY CENTRE

The site being soo close to the arndale market yet seems detached from it. Being called a public realm, the site does not attract any footfall from the city cetre.

CIS TOWER

Due to the pandemic and WFH a lot of office buildings are left vacant. People coming to and working from business districts have drastically decreased. This is also the case at NOMA. CIS Tower which sits vacant also has a huge historic background.

FEELING OF ENCLOSURE

The existing public space lack the feeling of enclosure. The site does not have any trees to give natural shade\ shelter to the public. There also does not exist any public furniture. It is only a vast stretch of open space.

Design Concept

Taking inspiration from the geology of the of NOMA’s neighbour, Northern Gateway which consist of the Collyhurst area I derived the design con cept. Collyhurst has an immense contribution in shaping Manchester. The Irk valley and river has provided alot of resourses like water and raw mate rial for the formation of the city. Now it is under regeneration scheme.

As NOMA shares its borders with the Irk valley, the geology can can contin ue into the site in the form of fuctional mounds. In design aspect, it creates a continuity in the landscape of the area. The mounds also create an ex perience for the the user while walking through the site.

Zoning

• In order to have clear accessibility, the mounds are lo cated adjacent to the primary roads. each mound is ac cesible for the main road.

• Public toilet are placed strategically for easy access.

• Community mound and outdoor space is loacted facing the residential side of the context for them to use.

• Food truck park and cafe/ bar is located at the points of most footfall.

• Green space is distributed throughout the site.

• All the entry points into the site are provided keeping in mind the walking routes of all types of users.

• The mounds placed in the upper half of the site are the co-working and the restaurant. which is more catering to the business side.

creating proper pathways for walking and biking through the site. Also proving lights and public furniture for the users. These features are very important and are missing currently. a pedestrian bridge travelling through the site connecting the site to the angel meadows gardens will create a key link to the park. As currently the park stays detached and unknown to the public.

The mounds design will continue into the park to form a continuity and giving the user the feeling as it is it the part of the same public space as NOMA. Site Section

PROGRAM - URBAN DESIGN

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

How to make use of current resourc es? What is the key identity of Burnley? How can we re- programme Burnley?

After reading theoretical texts our group of architecture students came up with artistic responses as a starting point for our research on Burnley. We conducted a site visit and interviews with some local people to understand their thoughts, frustrations, concerns and visions about the city. The city is lacking legibility and the ability to at tract to people. The high street is de serted and has had an adverse effect on retail due to the pandemic. The identity of local people and the local artisan’s network is lost. The city fails to provide jobs to people.

Burnley is in need of a re-programme. Therefore, we have come up with the concept of “Reweaving Burnley”. Re weaving the identity, reweaving the economy and reweaving the commu nity. The aim is to make interventions in the certain areas of the city to affect the surrounding spaces which eventu ally affect the entire city.

SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE

The design aims to open up the ground floor to create a connection to the communal green space behind and link to the river and the market street. And divide the existing vacant shops into a few small shops to make the rent more affordable. Change of use class from class B8 to class C3 dwelling houses, adding more residential units for rent for prospective students of UCLAN.

The design creates pop-up shops to bring in footfall to the market street and provides a platform for local artisans and small business owners to showcase their products to the public. Making better use of the air space above the existing structure within GDP’s policy to add additional floor spaces. The terrace houses and detached houses fall into the AA and AB categories respectively and hence are allowed to make the extension to the house. Additional two stories can be added to the airspace. Also, change of use class from B8 to B1 and D2 of the vacant storage units on the upper level to achieve the best utilization of space.

PROJECTURBANISMDESCRIPTION

This dissertation investigates and ex plains the gap observed between the theoretical and practical application of heritage conservation/manage ment in the city of Mumbai. The disser tation offers a synopsis of the evolution of Bombay and its architecture and documents and analyses the heritage transformation in the Fort precinct of Mumbai. The dissertation also evalu ates the city’s preservation guidelines with the help of case studies from the area of study. The evaluation identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the city’s heritage management mod els. The dissertation concludes with critiquing and recommendations to strengthen the city heritage manage ment system.

RESEARCH QUESTION

For the analysis and exploration of heritage management approaches in Mumbai, this dissertation undertakes a qual itative research approach by reviewing relevant historic and contemporary literature, research of published and unpub lished government documents related to the historic pres ervation in India and Bombay, and carefully selected case studies from the Fort precinct in Mumbai. Published works on the history of Bombay and Fort, the history and current func tioning of historic preservation practice in India and Bombay, and historical and contemporary preservation theory and practice were included in the literature review. Current news sources were also investigated in order to gain a better un derstanding of the city’s current historic preservation situa tion. Photographic documentation of the existing urban con text of the Fort Precinct was also conducted.

The initial investigation includes a theoretical study of litera ture on topics relating to conservation approaches and the relevance of time in conserving heritage and heritage man agement. The literature review was also conducted to under stand the current state of heritage management in Mumbai and understand various opinions by professionals in the field. This would give a strong basis for this dissertation.

Furthermore, a historical context study of Mumbai from seven islands to a metropolitan city was undertaken to understand the architectural evolution and reason for the change in the urban fabric of the city. This also helped in defining the area of study and identifying case studies in Mumbai that would be most fitting for this research. Critically analyzing the her itage regulations of Mumbai helped identify the shortfalls in the management process. Lastly, two carefully thought case studies heritage structures were chosen from the vast options available in the Fort area to highlight various factors responsi ble for their current state.

How can an adaptable fishing community be designed in re ponse to the rising threat of cli mate change driven rising sea levels?

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Global sea levels have fluctuat ed for thousands of years.Tec tonic conditions and climatic cycles have caused vacilating sea levels. But because of cur rent climate change , the rate of change has accelarated dra

Globalmatically.sea

levels are projected to rise 0.8 To 1 meters by 2050 and 1.8 To 2 meters by 2100.

Mumbai, due to its geography, is particularly exposed to both flooding from heavy rainfall during the monsoon and sea-lev el rise

Koliwadasinundation.aswe

today call it is the home of aboriginal fishing community of kolis. Dating their origin back to the old history their roots primarily belong to koli tribe who were engaged in fishing, woodcutting etc. There are 7 koli wadas located at the west coast of Mumbai. These koliwadas are directly affected by the changes in the sea. while the kolis origi nally relied on fishing intake on ly,declines in annual catch have pushed the people to consider additional means of income.

This project aims to provide a per manant and resilient accomoda tion solution to climate change driven sea level rise to the resi dents of this community. Fur thermore to ensure sustainability through providing the communi ty the capacity to function on its own in the face of this threat. The solution should not only be design driven but also equivalent to the present day to day functioning of the community and traditions.

SEA LEVEL RISE IN MUMBAI

RECLAMATIONS

◄ The city has a 300- year history of land reclamations - prior to indepen dence, over 35 sq km of land was re claimed by the co lonial administration to link the erstwhile seven islands of worli , parel mahim , mazagaon , bom bay , little colaba and colaba.

MANGROVE COVER

▲ Mangrove forests play a crucial role in protecting coastal areas from sea level rise caused by climate change.

Areas without mangroves are likely to widen from erosion and more water will encroach inwards, whereas mangrove re gions prevent this effect which is likely due to soil building up around thier mesh like roots and acting to reduce energy from the waves and tidal currents.

Worli koliwada is located on the west ern coast of mumbai. It is one of the only 7 fishing villages remaining in mumbai. With an estimated population of 300,000 residents, where only approximately 20% families of koli descent remain, worli ko liwada today has a mixed, lower-middle income demographic carrying a tower ing cultural legacy and inheritence with a fading significance.

The worli village consists of two major communities - son koli and mahadev koli. There are 457 official landlords in the village, the development other than that is mainly illegal construction which has been given on rent to the immigrants workers.

ISSUES AT WORLI KOLIWADA

COASTAL ROAD

SEA LEVEL RISE SCENARIOS

◄ When the reclamation happened the current pattern changed and the natural filtration channels were destroyed, which led to toxic levels of pollutants in the Mithi river and Mahim creek. The sea water which used to enter Mahim creek is now diverted towards Worli coastal belt and is contributing to erosion along the beaches.

The program focuses upon 3 important aspects to be considered for the proposed development of the site. The 3 aspects being environmental , economic and social. The program proposes housing for kolis as well as the non koli community. The koli housing are resilient structures which react to the changing levels of the sea(amphibious and floating structure). Both the koli and non koli houses are designed ac cording to their traditional way of living.

On the economic side of things, a new jetty and fish market is proposed to enhance the fishing activ ities of the community. Due to lack of fishes com ing to the coast new methods of fish farming and aqua farming of kale are proposed. Fish cleaning and sorting facilty is too proposed for the sale of fish

Aquaculture is the controlled process of cul tivating aquatic organisms, especially for human consumption. It’s a similar concept to agriculture, but with fish instead of plants or livestock. Aquaculture is also referred to as fish farming. The seafood that you find at your local grocery store is likely labeled as farmed fish. Aquaculture can happen all over the world, and it does: in coastal ocean waters, freshwater ponds and rivers, and even on land in tanks.

Introducing aquaculture will help the small scale fishermen who do not have the larger boats to fish in the deeper sea by having fish farm circles closer to th coast which can be accessed by smaller boats. This will increase their ability to generate income.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION -

The focus of this semester was on housing & urban neighbourhoods. Therefore as per the requirements of the brief, we were to redevelop housing for the railway employees of the Western Railways of India. The area and specifications of the units are prescribed by the Minis try of Railways. The typology are divided into RB-1(lower level of ficials), RB-2(mid- level officials ) and RB-3( high level officials).

My approach to designing the structures was to create an unique identity of building typology and move away from the typical hous ing blocks in Mumbai. The facade consists of cantilevered solids and voids which work well together for shade and shadow.

At master plan level, the site was densely covered with trees. There fore the building have a linear footprint which was revived from the existing housing structures. The heirarchy of the building typolo gies is from north to south mean ing the typologies for higher level officials are placed at the north side of the site closer to the office building.The urban design and ar chitecture vocabulary is kept neat and modern.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The focus for this semester was on designing of large complex on a large parcel of land. As per the brief, we were required to design a sports and cultural complex in the city of Chandi garh. The complex was target ted towards the youth of the country as the city is one of the sports hub of India. The site area was approxiately 37,000 square metres.

DESIGN APPROACH

My design approach initiated basically by placing the larg er spaces like the swimming pool and the experimental the atre first on the site , around which the other spaces would be planned. The structure is aligned to the access road lin early . The structure is then di vided into the sports and the cultural block. The division cre ates the common entrance to the both blocksand access to the football field. The architec ture style and materials used is inspired from the general archi tectural style seen in this icon ic city planned by le corbusi er. The structure respects the context and blends seamlessly. The use of barrel vaults helps to have large columnless spaces perfect for swimming pool and basketball court. The badmin ton court is a separate struc ture to break the span of the main sports blocks. This makes way to another access way to the football field and a central ly positioned changing area for the users. There is a heirarchi cal progession of spaces from public to semi public to private.

▲ aligning the structure parallel the access road to have a long facade.

▲ dividing the block into sports block and cultural block.

▲ the use of barrel vaults were made to made long columnless spaces which allowed the swimming pool and basketball facility to be indoors. the barrel vaults also give an unique identity to the facade.

▲ further sub dividing the blocks for access to the football field. Dividing the sports block for a separate structure for badminton court. Assigning front space for library and co work ing space in the cultural block.

▲ subtraction of unnessary negative spac es. Connecting the sports and cultural block on level 1 creating a canopy below. Adding the main change area betwen the twosports blocks which is centrally accessible by all users.

▲ exposed concrete and brick were chosen as the primary facade option as majority of the city is designed with these materials. these material work brillantly together aethetically as well as with the climate of India.

Site context

▲ to avoid the structure to be extremely tall the double heighted swimming pool is sunken half way into the ground.This creates transper ancy on the ground level while allowing ample of sunlight into the structure.

▲ the experimental theatre is centrally placed between the co working space library and the workshop spaces. The green rooms are located at the back side of the theatre giving easy access to carry props and other items in and out of the structure through the service entrance.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION -

In recent months, we have ar rived at a new juncture of virus and architecture, where fear of contamination controls what kinds of spaces we want to be in. During these fretting times we are forced to be confined in our own cells by maintaining distance from the proliferating virus carri ers. These axiomatic times con notes the concept of “existence minimum”. Defining spaces that would expand & contract based on the needs of an individual.

1. THRESHOLD SPACES :

A prelude, an intermediate space, inside or outside. The threshold space is all of these, usually even at the same time. Living on the spatial ambivalence between opening and closing and at the same time creates the expecta tion of what is to come.

2. JAPANESE INTERIORS :

The japanese interior design con cept is known as “ma”. This con cept aims at a balance between the available space that can be used on one side, and furniture and other objects .

Ukiyo home (living in the moment, detached from the bothers of life), a dwelling designed for the purpose of quarantine in the pandemic.

Located in a lush green terrain sur rounded by hills at a distance with tropical climatic conditions, average significant rains with hot and cold weather seasons.

In this ravaging time, ukiyo acts as an entirely sustainable abode with ergo nomically designed space & foldable compact design techniques. A stress free environment with optimized view of the context along with spaces for meditation keeps one positive in quarantine.
