M E N TO R : A R . M I L I N D M E R C H A N T D E S I G N D I S S E R TAT I O N The thesis aims at addressing Migration/Forced Displacement using an emergent framework. Migration defined by pull factors amplify growth whereas when defined by push factors predominantly takes place due to vulnerablity. India predominently faces Rural-Urban Migration due to the shortcomings of rural regions having one or more push factors. The focus thus extends to decelerate the push factors by employing a system of capitals and using people’s own capacity to build their lives.

// The psychology of place is an emerging area of research that explores the connection between individuals and their intimate environments. They are linked to that environment through three key psychological processes: attachment, familiarity, and identity. Each of these psychological processes - attachment, familiarity, and place identity - is threatened by displacement.

The project is an attempt to imagine the perception of Bawa’s Lunuganga- a sight to behold; for a person without eyes. An insert along the broadwalk is designed keeping the needs of visually impaired in mind and helping them experience the beauty from their eyes of the skin. The smell of frangipani and wet mud, the sound of water trickling from the butterfly lake, the textures of stone and trees and varying ground character offer enriching stimulation of other senses. The proposal includes multi-sensory elements as stimuli that help in wayfinding by easy creation of mental maps essential for space identification. The navigation is further made easier by using a single spine circulation.

M E N TO R : A R . A PA R N A S U R V E A R . S H R I YA B H AT I A The family’s high mobility in the present society c reates many isolated nuclear families. After living in a dwelling unit for a certain period of time, the family’s needs change and a misfit between family life and their unit occurs. The addition to or alteration of the house is costly and sometimes impossible because housing is not designed for such adjustments. Thus, this housing proposal aims to increase each family’s control over shaping their own unit to reflect their changing needs according to their respective stages of life. The family’s daily activities occur in different levels of their environment - a dwelling unit, a neighbourhood and a larger community or city. The character of the boundary between a dwelling unit and the outside community is the key factor in forming a housing pattern. Individuality in the dwelling unit and communality in the neighbourhood should be achieved in the proposed future housing by inducing mutual dependencies/co-dependecies through shared amenities.

Followed by research and analysis of various interfaces seen within the existing market, a new green interface was defined by terraforming the slabs in an organic form to generate a much-needed urban park in the city. The site trees, users & transit paths become the driving forces to generate the final form with varying degrees of visual and physical access.

AT R E Y C H H AYA PROGRAMME : ART GALLERY An approach of understanding spatial configuration using Space Syntax Theory has been adopted to explore the relationship between visitor’s interaction and form for the gallery. The isovist tool helps to understand how space is perceived depending on the users’ points of views and their movement. It helps to generate or inhibit social interactions in built environments. The form unfolds as one advances following the lines of vision. The modulating steps frame each visitor’s path.
