he brief for the project was to design an oncology hospital that consisted of a research institute, a residential block for the doctors/nurses/assistants, and an auditorium. The site is located in Nashik (Maharashtra) in an area of about 23000sqm. The Oncology Hospital had to accommodate 150 inpatients and include its own Radiology and Radiotherapy departments. My approach towards the project was to design a functional building that gave the hospital character, with the intent to make the building unique as well as providing the area with a landmark. The concept led to the structures distinctive form, green spaces within the structure were created, and other vistas which would direct ones attention towards these spaces, and away from patients. This along with an interesting play of natural light in the structure enhanced the quality of these spaces, giving visitors and patients different experiences as they moved through the different spaces yet keeping the layout functional and easy for people to understand.

REDEFINING PUBLIC RETAIL SPACES JUNE 2014

The AIM of this thesis is to get an understanding of Public Spaces and the various aspects that go into making the Public Space The OBJECTIVE of the Thesis is to utilize the knowledge gained through the study of public spaces and design a GOOD QUALITY PUBLIC SPACE within the scope of the thesis. As Public Space is a very vast subject. MUMBAI has a large population and few open and public spaces that are easily accessible and are open to all age groups to use freely. Most public spaces are the waterfronts and the maidans(parks). Apart from these spaces there are places which have the potential to be good public spaces and are not used to its full potential due to the lack of facilities and other factors. Public spaces being a very vast subject, the thesis will focus on retail oriented spaces. References would be taken from spaces around the world to get a broader idea about public spaces, pedestrian malls, and malls. The case studies would be primarily done in the context of India

ZONIING + CONCEPT •The intention is to make the whole space as a breathing space in the city. •Blending the retail space and open space with each other, where people can comes and utilizes the space freely. •The idea of a space where all are welcome allowing interaction with the full spectrum of society, that allows it to be fully social. •The goal is to design a space where the building and its environment are not disconnected from each other instead are combined as one body. •The idea is that the open and public spaces could coexist and benefit one another rather than can causing a hindrance to the other. •The presence of an easily accessible green open area would draw people to come and use these spaces for various purposes, and in turn creates the possibilities of more customers for the retail outlets. It would also act as space for advertising. • On the other hand the retail space (mall) ensures the spaces around are maintained, guarantees the provision of good public facili ties and most of all looks after the safety of the people within the area. •The presence of open areas would allow for the flexibility of use of these spaces when required. This space would give a sense of ownership and let people choose the kind of activity they would want to indulge in.
