This thesis seeks to investigate and explore how the design of a space can act as a catalyst in creating efficient healing environment that affects an individual’s physical and psycho logical behaviour as well as offer a transition space to take the user/affected person by studying and comprehending the conditions of incarceration and its aftermath.
Thesis : How can thoughtfully designing our built environments aid in the alleviation of the world’s developing psychological problems while also providing a transitional environment?

Lack of funds, overcrowding in facilities, and big caseloads can make it dif ficult for the system to provide necessary assistance and services leading to juvenile leaving the centre in miserable conditions having no place to return to. Surat holds a zonal correctional centre for boys at Parle Point, with a capacity for 50, as it is in need of expansion. The site lies in the core city (Ghod Road, Athwa) as an extension to correctional centre. Being adjacent to the juvenile court it has a close connection with the proceedings and regulations. Being in the same campus will make the transfer to the transition centre easier.

Reintegration through transition | 85 5.3 Design Idea Figure 58 Conceptual illustrations | Source : Author Core Idea: The arrangement of functions must be such that movement of users at both ends must encourage them to go through a gradual transition to develop sense of belongingness.
This space provides a buffer and much-needed transition to prevent recidivism, as majority of these offenders have nowhere to go and have lost direction. spatial solutions, psychology and movement
Understanding
The design attempts to strengthen their abilities and behavioral patterns,eventually leading to such activities that entail interaction with society, once they are well shaped. Objective is to separate functions on site so that transition is available to both society and offenders in order to lessen apprehension and improve behavioral patterns. Site Layout 1. ADMIN 3.

It speaks of the volumetric exploration of various forms. It also emphasizes upon dynamism brought in a form through light and shadow. Elevation and depression of surfaces in an object are also a major aspect. It focuses upon the composition and overall geometry.
Basic Design:
It involved overlapping, scaling and rotation of forms to understand it's impact in the overall composition.
Composition of different forms were created following various principles of organisations that help in planning and designing a project according to it's program.
The surface of the branch was developed and internal spaces were designed according to the quality of spaces created.
The exercise involved volumetric visualisation of spaces through triangulation of a tree branch.
Play of light and shadow was inculcated using translucent surfaces.
It provides a platform to document exemplary architecture to enrich the process of understanding and learning. It gives an opportunity to experience and study diverse built forms. Related Study Program

It is a home todiverse culturalsocieties and age groups. The open pockets deliberately included during planning did not develop with time and the minimal optimization of green patcheslead to lack of recreational spaces.
POCKET PARKS
The aim is to provide an “all inclusive” recreational space for the local population with the limited amount of available park space. It is to revamp the underutilised left over space and regenerate the urban void into a nature connected interactive space by taking maximum advantage of existing flora and fauna.

Initially the patch of land did not have a confined boundary wall, and hence was used for the rituals around theTemple or as a temple forecourt. Later, the compound wall was raised leading to the reduced usage of the plot. Today the plot is used as a parking for municipalty’s garbage vans, washing of cars of the garage , degrading the soil.
