Project Overview The aim is to design housing accommodation to the members of Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Low Income Groups (LIG). India is a populous country where approximately 70% of the people reside in rural areas. These people are migrating to urban settlements in search of jobs and better living standards. It can be seen that 99% of the housing requirement is in the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and the Low Income Housing (LIG) space . Area Build-up Area Ground Coverage Circulation Area

Project Overview The aim is to design a commercial center. The complex encompasses a retail, multiplex, hotel and a vendor’s plaza. The main focus of the project was the retail and multiplex. The site is in close proximity to a metro station, so notably higher levels of pedestrian footfall had to be taken into consideration while designing.

Design inspiration Mobius Strip The MĂśbius strip, also called the is a onesided nonorientable surface obtained by cutting a closed band into a single strip, giving one of the two ends thus produced a half twist, and then reattaching the two ends. The strip was invented by a German mathematician August MĂśbius in 1858.

BIOPHILIC ARCHITECTURE ‘CRYING NEED OF OUR CITY DELHI’
Introduction to the research paper The national capital Delhi is ranked as the most polluted city in the world when it comes to air quality, according to a WHO study. According to global burden of disease estimates, air pollution is the fifth largest killer in India. Many factors contribute to this increase, but lesser ways to combat the menace of air pollution. To put it briefly, it is Delhi’s crying need to overcome the environmental issue before the pollution levels play havoc with the health of its citizens. This research paper elaborates upon the importance and need of our city to adopt an innovative architectural approach (i.e. BIOPHILIC DESIGNING) of designing the places where we live, work, and learn establishing natural-based habitats for humans. We need nature in a deep and fundamental practice, but we have often designed our cities and suburbs in ways that both degrade the environment and alienate us from nature. Biophilic design has been used by architects to create buildings that include plants, natural light, water features, and views to outdoor natural settings which bring buildings to life, through practices like vertical and rooftop gardening. This research paper discusses examples of biophilic designs of different building types and biophilic cities like Singapore, San Francisco etc. which includes all the techniques and principles to create a biophilic city. Delhi needs to adopt biophilic designing principles for different building types (hospitals, hotels, residences, work places etc.) and city planning to improve air quality and reduce air pollution. Main principles of biophilic architecture are: • Rooftop Gardens • Vertical Gardens • Green Facades
Introduction A theme park is a group of entertainment attractions, rides and other events in a location for the enjoyment of large numbers of people. Theme parks, a specific type of amusement park, are usually much more intricately themed to certain subjects or group of subjects. A theme park has landscaping, buildings and attractions that are bases on one or more specific themes or stories.
