Reimagining Transit Spaces
Mobility is a vital factor in urbanization. In the misdirected effort to increase connectivity, many of our transportation networks are accomplishing much less for a high amount of investment. It has created more congestion, isolated land uses, car-oriented design of buildings, short-sighted development, more dangerous roads, decreased walkability, timeconsuming travel, and more stress. Such issues are commonly visible in Indian metro cities, due to lack of integrated planning.
Location: Mumbai Central, Maharashtra Site Area: 2,40,000 sq.ft Year: Fifth Year, 2015 -16 Type: Academic - Thesis | Individual work Supervisor: Ar. Swati Chokshi Aim: To redesign a transit space for seamless inter-modal connectivity with integrated public amenities and open spaces to improve the quality of life.

|Paradigm Shift| Railway - the lifeline of Mumbai. The city faces shortage of space to cater to a high influx of people at railway stations everyday. Addressing the mobility challenge calls for a paradigm shift in urban planning, encouraging mixed-land use as a way to increase accessibility and to reduce the need for travel altogether.

|Site Context| Mumbai Central (formerly Bombay Central) is a major railway station on the Western line, situated in south of Mumbai and built in 1930. Designed by British architect Claude Batley, it serves as a major stop for both local trains and inter-city, express trains. The terminal connects to the northern, western and north-western parts of India overlapping its route with the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. The inter-state bus terminal is located across Lamington road and proposed metro exits of Metro 3 line are adjacent as well which allows it to be connected to the domestic and international airports.
Built vs. Open
Land Use
The surrounding area is mainly residential with old buildings undergoing high-rise re-developments and is adjacent to the commercial districts and wholesale markets of South Mumbai. This transit node acts as a gateway for businessmen, traders, office-goers, hawkers, and local residents.

|Conclusion| The way forward for transport development in urban areas is to address integrated planning with accessibility and efficient multimodal connectivity. It is important to adapt to the paradigm shift towards the urban nomad’s lifestyle with high technology, allowing people to live, work and play on the move, while paving way for the future of transit spaces. Improving the conditions of stations along with facilitating changing needs of the society will encourage the use of public transport as part of the urban mobility strategy. To exploit the potential of mobility hubs and to capitalize opportunities is necessary in reshaping the growth of cities in more sustainable urban formats.

The penthouse layouts are created by staggering the higher floor units to create private courtyards and terraces. Living in the sky without being alienated from the ground was the main idea.

Agro-Tourism Retreat Boisar, Maharashtra A peri-urban area, north of Mumbai with the potential to turn agriculture as a tourism activity for the urban population of neighbouring cities.

Agro-Tourism Retreat Rationale
Location: Boisar, Maharashtra Site Area: 6.12 acres
Built-up Area: 24,220 sq. ft.
Year: Third Year, 2014 Type: Academic | Individual work Supervisor: Ar. Abhijeet Doshi Brief:
To design a retreat which combines agricultural activties with tourism and provides a rural experience for the urban guests through strong contextual design and use of local materials.
Agro-tourism is an additional co-activity for the farmers, providing them an additional source of income and employment. There is a growing need for such activities on the rural-urban fringes that are sustained by agriculture, industry and toursim. With the expanding urban centres into the rural hinterland, coastal Maharashtra north of Mumbai is one such ‘rurban’ situation where the retreat is proposed.

Conceptual sketch of proposed neighbourhood
|Urban Design| Mixed use plan of the neighbourhood cluster
The aim is to create self-sufficient polycentric townships around public transport like buses and rail. The urban design strategy has been demonstrated through the selection of a 1 sq. km. area in a city called Uran, which is the starting point of a mega infrastructure project called Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), which would help India to become a leader in manufacturing and connects Delhi, India’s political capital with Mumbai, India’s financial capital through rail and road. An urban model with a density of 22,500 persons/sq.km. is proposed for the target group of middle income household. Along the lines of the Gandhian ideals of self-sustaining communities, a mixed use neighborhood would help India to move to the development of zeroenergy, zero-oil, and zero-waste cities. This is also in line with the acronym of our team name SHUNYA, which stands for Sustainable Habitats for an Urbanizing Nation by its Young Aspirants and is also the Hindi word for Zero.

Plan of Bachelor’s Apartment The house is designed following the basic principles of solar passive architecture. The core has toilets and major services and the two wall units redefine the flexible space to form two bedrooms and a larger area with the living, the dining and the kitchen. It allows for permutation combination without disturbing the structural system of the house.
Plan of Office Module
|Interior Design| The focus of the design is to create warm humble spaces interspersed with modularity to enhance functionality of the house. Indian fabrics, low seating, traditional arts and crafts, cane furniture have been used to create a fusion of comtemporary and ethnic.

UnBox: Rethinking Containers the
Competition - Group (2)
BOX The Idea In today’s urban scenario, there is a conscious need to create active and engaging public spaces for awareness and benefit of the community. The present-age of digital world has created an invisible box around oneself and does not allow you to be physically participating in the surrounding. The idea is to create an activity-driven, fun and interactive sculptural box which engages with the crowd and provides a platform for street art and performances.

The fun-box uses the basic structure of the shipping container retaining its core form, manipulating its volumetric exploration, refurbishing its space through visual aesthetics and user friendly nature. A sustainable module is created using the structural system of the container and other additional materials made of recycled plastic, tyres and construction steel props.
