Q: could a forest be tamed so to become the backbone for a metropolitan greengrey armature able to host new land uses such as common or public spaces? A nature or a city pact is more than possible to let the forest entering into the Município de Nova Iguaçu‘s city fabric. The proposal concerns the possibility of regenerating portions of the city of Nova Iguaçu through a project for a common or public space based on green armour.

A: revive the ex-grit mining areas as a wetland park by conserving it and enhancing agrocultural and recreational activities which does not only help to ressurect the ecological balance but also create an intangible connection between neighbourhood and at the same time generate employment. The project is developed from territorial scale to regional scale proposals.

2. Rethinking Peri-urban Area

Piacenza, Italy

Status: academic indiviual project

Softwares used: qgis,autocad photoshop,illustrator,sketchup indesign

Q: What could be the new approach to non urban centered development? How do we change the urban centric point of view? Can this be a new definition of the ‘urban’ whereby peri-urban spaces are conceived not simply as transitional areas located between urban and rural, but rather as new and emerging forms of ‘urbanity’ that bring into play new life styles?

A: The new approach focus on the changing relationship between urban and rural areas, by defining design proposals, able to re-organize the open spaces and enhance spaces of cohabitation between different “urban” and “rural” ways of life. The design activity focuses on the re-organization of the vacant and underused open spaces and the urban-rural fringes along the bypass road in Piacenza. the relevance of multi-functional agriculture in peri-urban areas, due to the societal and life transitions.

Thickness is defined based on the viable land present and the services available The vacant spaces which has potential to have functions will provide better the suburban area.

Strengthening The Linkage

Improve the linkage to the city edge through

Green infrastructure:

• Green corridors

• Soft mobility lanes

Grey infrastructure:

• Primary roads

• Bridges

Blue infrastructure:

• Canal edge development

Improving Public Services

Provide better facilities by improvising the:

• Parks

• Public spaces

• Cycle/pedestrian accessibility

• Sports areas

Extension of green areas

Functioning The Vacant Areas

Vacant areas such as buffer areas or fallow lands could replaced into :

• Green spaces

• Energy generating sources

• Edible gardens

• Recreational areas

These places could be used to integrate urban agriculture within the urban fabric

Focus On Renewable Energy

Promote solar energy production for the energy demand within the intervention area. Method such as:

• Agrovoltaics

• Solar parking shelters

• Photovoltaic landscape

• Solar streetlights

Q: Could a housing project break down the harmony of sea facing industrial zone? A beach front or a city pact is more than possible to let the soft mobility structure entering into the badalona’s city fabric. The proposal concerns the possibility of regenerating beach front of the city of badalona based on a housing project including public spaces.

A: The landscape and its components are the potential structuring network of the territory and the city, and a way to response in today´s environmental challenges. An interconnected network of urban green spaces along with soft mobility tracks should be a vital approach. The project demands regeneration of the badalona sea front area. development progress giving priority to the housing development, dealing with the railway track running next to the site and the un-used 3 chimenies in the region.

There are 2 proposed river lines: 1)The green lines, which with the combination of the elevated pathway, creates a continuous network; 2) Constructed bars : this ones are related to the housing program we are introducing to the site.

An interconnected network of urban green spaces should be a vital approach, where we have to:

• Restore: the ecology of urban ecosystems;

• Inhabit: integrating new programs to promote sustainable appropriation; and

• Connect: the diverse urban ecosystems with a continuous network.

Q: Can a multi room house be designed based on the indoor-outdoor living concept? considering the hot and humid climatic conditions of the place kochi, kerala. Maximizing the natural cross ventilation of the structure. What are the possibilities of having access to a outdoor green area from each rooms?

A: The project demands maximum utalisation of the plot while considering the exiisting climatic nature. Design intitialised with a strong climatology analysis. Priorities given to cross ventilation in the house, functional spaces followed by interactive outdoor gardens to each areas.Indoor landscaping and indoor water courtyard also play a major role in maintaining the temperature inside. Landscape design plays major role resulting in detailed analysis and selection of plants in terms with seasonal changes.
