LEVERAGING LINEAR LANDSCAPES Can tho has begun to urbanize along roads that cut through farms. It fragments already shrinking fields, displaces farmers, and increases impervious surfaces. We explore how the existing landscape conditions can be leveraged to endorse the traditional canal-based linear urbanization pattern. Incentivizing restricted urban accumulation on higher ground created by canal-driven sediment deposition would prevent encroachment on farmland, thus preserving the economic, ecological, and social co-benefits they provide.
Sharvi Jain Shuyuan Li Jianqi Li Devaki Handa
AGRICULTURE’S VALUE ANALYSIS An analysis of agricultural economy of this region shows why people find it increasingly easy to encroach on farmlands. However, we attempt to value it not only in terms of economy, but in terms of the triple bottom line.

DEGREE OF SOIL FERTILITY The region that we explore, Phong Điền, lies in the Upper alluvial plain. The deposition of alluvium makes the soil extremely fertile, and is thus ideal for growing fruit.
CAN THO MUNICIPALITY
SEDIMENT DEPOSIT ALONG HAU RIVER Moreover, the topographical construct of this region is such that fruit harvesting becomes extremely profitable.
PROPOSED URBANIZATION PATTERN By leveraging the existing topography, a more resilient growth pattern is devised that concurrently protects agriculture fields by incentivizing restricted densification of development along canals. New techniques for more sustainable agriculture practices have also been introduced.

SERVICE/ TRANSFER NODE DESIGN This particular node marks the end of the road, and hence, a transition from the existing road-based development to the proposed canal-based one. It serves as a major transfer point for agricultural produce and provides important utilities for existing people. New opportunities are created for existing habitants and new people to facilitate this growth pattern.

Demonstrating the pipeline network & the land types it crosses through, it is a microcosm of the Valley that makes us aware of the existence of the pipeline, the dangers of a carbon lifestyle & potential strategies to use when there is an oil spill.

PROGRAMMATIC DISTRIBUTION The demonstration site on Sawkill Road overlooks the pump station. A place that makes people aware of the existence, consequences of living with a pipeline under their feet, it is a symbol of protest. The existence of this site close to the pump station is a constant reminder for those who have invested in the pipeline such that they feel the heat for putting peoples’ lives in danger. This site is a seed that has been planted to facilitate the transition from a carbon-based lifestyle to one based on renewable energy resources.

DATA MINING THE CITY FOOD ACCESSIBILITY IN HUDSON CITY Hudson lies in the middle of a food desert. The only proper store is Walmart, which lies far off from the heart of the city, making it difficult for most residents to access it. To resolve the issue of accessibility, we propose taking groceries to the people. By proposing mobile grocery trucks that can go around the city on a need based system, a greater capacity of the residents’ food/grocery needs can be met in the most economical way. Using Python for Processing, we simulate the ideal schedule for the trucks in order to maximi e the bene t. No. of Households > Max. Walkable Distance

URBAN DESIGN, NORTHEAST AGRA, INDIA The rst part of the project, consisting of a macro-level study and analysis of the history, demographics, open spaces and morphology of Agra, was assigned to the entire class. The section that follows, shows the morphological study of north-east Agra. The site has been further divided into ten character ones on the basis of fabric (grain and texture), built use, built heights and the order of construction of buildings. Further, the brief was to pick an interface of a marginal space and propose an intervention individually. The site chosen, is a 5 acre stretch between the monuments of Chini ka Rau a and Itmad-Ud-Daula. The proposed promenade is 3 metres above the level of the river.

HOUSING PROJECT IN EAST KIDWAI NAGAR, NEW DELHI, INDIA The proposed mixed use constitutes a housing complex, a language school and a commercial area. The private and public spaces are intertwined, without corrupting the purpose of either. The concept is loosely based on New Urbanism, thus allowing the formation of ‘third places’. The language school is the result of an attempt to engage all age groups, thus allowing them to enhance social interaction. While the students can bene t by honing their third language skills required in schools, adults engaged in travelling or dealing with foreign clients can brush up their skills too. Since the pockets surrounding east idwai are exclusively residential or retail, this complex becomes an important node, linking the surroundings and offering a subtle transition from one absolute to another.
Residential Retail Language school
PROGRAMMATIC DISTRIBUTION The residential block has been placed above retail, in order to integrate public & private spaces, allowing the place to become lively.

EWS tower (5 residential oors & 3 commercial)
SITE PLAN Every tower has it’s semi-private garden that opens into a common plaza. This plaza forms a large circuit that surrounds all towers too.
GROUND FLOOR PLAN Small plazas are formed by the U-niche of the towers, facing the peripheral road. Since these plazas are not a part of the primary circulation route of the non-residential public, it allows the retail shops and restaurants to spill out into the plaza, providing a commotion-free space.
BRIDGING THE GAP The bridges connecting the retail block on the third oor, connect all the retail spaces and allows the formation of ‘third places’, not only inside the bridges, but also below them. These alleys can then be used for exhibition of art and displays.
