The area of ​​the former ABB is one of the three major areas of transformation currently taking place in the city of Lodi. Of these three areas, the former ABB is the only one adjacent to the railway station, as well as close to the historical center of the city, hence it holds the potential of becoming an important new centre dedicated to housing in the city. Rethinking the former ABB area as a place of dwelling where favouring a concentration of density, typical of city centers, thereby limiting the occupation of the ground to make room for open spaces, green areas, a public character. The intermediate space between the houses you can then use to a micro-network of open spaces and natural diffused: it can accommodate a system of green dedicated to bike and play areas for children, as well as some recreational facilities and leisure.

The transversal line changes conditions within signing into the public space, changing the form within the building and ending towards the mountain line. The height of the building is therefore raised than the surrounding building to terminate visually to Ahn mountain.
The form of the line creates the governing section of the building that creates volumes and views, both exterior and interior, for a quality interiorized public space.

The folding plane brings forth different external views of the site as catchments.
The fluid movement of the external public spaces into various zones of the building makes it permeable and flexible. 14

The contemporary city is whirled with potential energy and tangible and intangible fluxes. Composed as states of natural and artificial, these fluxes lie between the soil and the sky, within which lie the intangibles spheres of knowledge and the exhilarating pulses of the city. A city seeking a foundation of learning and knowledge in its social sphere invests in community life and its people as the human capital, tapping this inherent potential as an opportunity to put forward the path of change. The city with such aspirations focuses on an invisible separation that lies between the realm of architecture and the public domain. It is here where learning cultivates. An architecture that celebrates communal and collective values. A ‘container’ where urban functions collide with fluxes of nature generating an ‘intelligent’ space acting as incubator for thinking individuals. Such spaces are institutions of which only libraries are now the last vestige of interiorized public space of the city. The evolution of the library inclined more to the public space of appearance ensures its dependence on the changes in socio-environmental conditions. An evolution reflecting change and an ever seeking pursuit for the eternal utopia. A public space not enforced but that encourages participation. With a precedence to natural setting as an important criteria in Korean architecture, the idea of a library gains permanence by its urbanistic dimension to innovate and introduce a new form in the permanent landscape of the city. The integration with this setting is the READING BETWEEN LINES .

An agrarian economy. An inception of its new colonial capital. It’s 100 years now since New Delhi has celebrated itself as the capital of pre and post independence era. It was thoughtfully conceived as a tabula rasa based on the utopian idea of Ebenzer Howard’s Garden city concept (1898). It was envisaged as a self contained town. Contrary to the Old Dilli, wide open streets and lush green open spaces with buildings reflecting authority and colonial power were laid out. However, while implanting the concept of Garden city, the British missed out on social and economic factors that one can easily identify and see in the by lanes of Old Dilli. The experiential dimension of a specific place, interpersonal public spaces cultivating culture and exchange; the human scale of the interlocking streets, the blushing everyday life rendered over a neutral urban landscape; a sample of Indian city life. NExT investigates within the architectural domain, the genetic code of the urban block set in Lutyens’ New Delhi that can infuse the potential nature of agrarian India as an answer to Indian agro-urban life. A hybrid typology of a building hinted through the factual history for a promising and sustainable future.

Bigha is a traditional unit measurement of area of land used in Northern India. Each Bigha is essentially divided into smaller units known as Biswas with an area of 125 m2 each. Every family in the horizontal farm gets its Biswas, the basic generic component for housing. Each Biswas (10m x 12.5m x 3m) is composed of three thematic spaces: the house (covered), the extension space (semi-open) and the farm (open). The flexibility with these 3 components results into four different typologies which further are vertically stacked keeping in mind the bioclimatic parameters of the semi arid climate of Delhi, neighbour to neighbour interaction and

The restoration project of the G.Meazza Stadium-San Siro is related to a larger redevelopment program of this historical sport facility in Milan. Architectural and plant interventions are planned in order to adapt the whole structure to the new sport regulations and to improve the service and security standards. The aim is to obtain the UEFA qualification as Elite Stadium to host the final Champions League’s match along with the international event Milan EXPO 2015. This is the perfect occasion to imagine new functions, able to limit the waste of resources, to offer a better hospitality to the spectators and to increase the services and security standards.
“Less aesthtetics , more ethics “ Dubai, the city of countless landmarks that continue to shape its skyline by time , is no need of anymore . Hence, no more than a huge wall was proposed as it new landmark . The wall is a banal cry for sustainability . It`s curved along the sun path to gernerate energy as well as provide the park where its located with the needed shade . The wall is two-faced , the one facing the sun it all covered with solar panels to generate energy and the side of the park is covered with a steel frame that could host the proposed activities in a flexible manner.
