GUWAHATI HERITAGE AND HANDLOOM MUSEUM The first residential building of administration of Assam. This colonial style bungalow has a long history of housing the administration heads of the government. THE SITE This project is a salute to the Grand river Brahmaputra and the civilization has nurtured. The historic site was selected by the British with great care for the views and the vistas it offered. From the motor-able road the site slopes up to almost seven meters, reaching up to the location of the heritage structure. From this point onwards the site starts looking beautiful with the Brahmaputra river flowing at its northern side. ZONING The zoning derived from the site analysis has resulted in placement of the new blocks on the north east and north west of the site and keeping the center views clear. The east section of site will contain the public amenities, research activities and administration block along with the cafe.

INTRODUCTION The worsening traffic congestion and deteriorating safety conditions on Delhi roads projects a grim profile of the capital city. The number of vehicles on Delhi roads has increased substantially in recent years. Some of the major corridors are carrying more than a lakh vehicles a day. As a result, both travel time and the number of road accidents in Delhi have registered an increasing trend. City public transport is closely linked with city infrastructure. At the present time, buses are the tool of choice for most people travelling. This thesis proposes to develop an Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBT) in Dwarka, New Delhi, that will serve as a major transportation hub for residents of West Delhi and neighbouring areas. This would help decongest the city of Delhi, improve infrastructure facilities and also provide an organised system of inter-state bus movement.
LOCATION OF DWARKA IN DELHI
DWARKA ZONAL PLAN K-II
LOCATION The project site is located at Dwarka Sector-22, New Delhi, opposite to Dwarka Sector-21 Metro Station. It is about 3 km from the IGI Airport. A 100-metre road connects the site to the UER-II which leads to NH-8. The Transport Department of the government of NCT of Delhi has been allotted a plot of 10.98 hectares, out of which 8 hectares is to be developed as the Bus Terminal.
This is a live project which the Government of Delhi intends to develop on PPP basis. The program is based upon a study of existing bus transportation in the area from which increased future needs have been estimated.
4TH YEAR | ARCHITECTURAL THESIS
APPROACH AND CONNECTIVITY It should be located such that coordination and integration between inter-city and intracity transport is possible. It should be close to a highway or an important road and places in such a way so that all modes entering and leaving the terminal should do without affecting the traffic at core parts of the city. NORTHERN APPROACH - (known as Palam Dabri Marg) - This connects Dwarka to Janakpuri, Vikaspuri and the rest of the North and West Delhi EASTERN APPROACH - (known as Palam Road) - The Palam Road connects Dwarka to most of Delhi SOUTH- EASTERN APPROACH - (known as Indira Gandhi International Airport Road) - Connects Dwarka to NH-8. WESTERN APPROACH from Najafgarh AIRPORT METRO LINE BLUE METRO LINE
INTER-STATE BUS TERMINAL, DWARKA, NEW DELHI SITE CONTEXT
SITE LIMITATIONS Due to the presence of the Indira Gandhi International Airport nearby, the area falling under the air funnel zone is restricted to have a height not more than 15m.
SITE ANALYSIS • Relatively flat land (the slope is very gentle sloping towards the west). The natural slope of the ground is towards Najafgarh Drain. • The peripheral drainage system of Dwarka project will be connected to one of the major outfall drains. • Very little vegetation

CONCEPT
NODES AND EDGES
In a building that symbolises movement, movement would be clearly expressed. Movement is promoted with continuity, sequence and flow. • Continuity: Elements reappear in a consecutive manner. • Sequence: A following of an event after another in a logical order and at a different time. • Flow: The use of the same elements or materials in a consecutive way suggests a smooth flow.
Transportation is the most important necessity for the aid of communication from one place to another. The transportation network can be reduced to a series of nodes and edges.
A combination of differentiated elements along with a sequence of different spaces suggests a kind of architectural motion.
THE WAVE
The elements used to suggest movement in this design are: • NODES and EDGES • The WAVE Combining these two elements, a mesh-like pattern is created. This pattern is used on the facade to enhance its character.
4TH YEAR | ARCHITECTURAL THESIS
NODES represent either places where roads intersect on the transportation network (such as towns) EDGES are the links, in this case, roads that connect places.
The nature of a wave: • Dynamic and dramatic • Expresses continuous change of forces • Strong yet soothing The idea is to create an iconic visual for the users of the terminal, which would help is promoting city tourism.
INTER-STATE BUS TERMINAL, DWARKA, NEW DELHI DESIGN PROCESS Total no. of trips = 3589 (local) + 2680 (intercity) = 6269 buses
In the design of bus terminals, movement becomes the most important criteria. This movement can be categorized into the following two ways: • Vehicular movement • Pedestrian movement This movement therefore leads to segregation between the various modes of transport, which are the following: • Buses- interstate and local • Cars, taxis, two-wheelers, auto rickshaws
Occupancy of Outgoing Passengers = 50/bus Occupancy of Incoming Passengers = 25/bus Demand for Different Bus Services at Dwarka ISBT - 2018 Estimation
Total Outgoing Passengers = 50 x 2680 = 134000 Total Outgoing Passengers = 25 x 2680 = 67000 Total Passenger Load in a day = 201000 = 2 lakh Peak hour passenger load = 10% of daily load = 20000 The teminal building will be used by approximately 10% passengers during peak hour, i.e., 2000 users
Number of Bus Bays Required at Dwarka ISBT Parking Demand Forecasts for 2018 at Dwarka ISBT
The following timings have been assumed for deriving number of bus bays at Dwarka ISBT: • 10 minutes bay occupancy time for local buses • 20 minutes bay occupancy time for intercity buses at boarding bays • 5 minutes bay occupancy time for intercity buses at alighting bays
02
RAMPS AND FLYOVERS For easy ingress and egress of buses, ramps would be provided so that buses would not have to pause at traffic signals. The buses coming from NH-8 will have to take the slip road from Urban Extension Road-II in order to access the underpass to the other side of the road. From here all the buses, including those coming via Najafgarh, can enter the site easily without any stoppage in between. After incoming passengers have alighted, the buses would proceed to their respective departure bays to pick up outgoing passengers. For exiting the terminal, all buses will take the ramp and reach the UER-II going towards NH-8. Those buses going towards Najafgarf will take the existing overhead passage to make a U-turn.
4TH YEAR | ARCHITECTURAL THESIS
INTER-STATE BUS TERMINAL, DWARKA, NEW DELHI For coordination and integration between inter-city and intracity transport, there will be separate ingress and egress points. • The Intercity Bus Service would be kept as close to the highway as possible • The Auto-rickshaw and Taxi Stands would be at the city front responding to the metro station as well • Local Bus Parking will be located away from the city front making use of the other access road to the site, avoiding congestion at the city front • Workshop Service placed in such a manner so that it can be used by Inter-city as well as Intra-city buses

INTRODUCTION ‘Zone-D’ is located in the southern part of the city of Delhi. It is adjacent to the historical city of Shahjahanabad and extends upto the Ring Road. It is unique due to the presence of low density housing as well as many significant historical landmarks.
LOCATION OF ZONE-D IN DELHI
LOCATION OF SITE IN ZONE-D
The stretch leading from Moti Bagh to South Extension area in Zone-D was selected for Urban Design analysis. This site is majorly residential in nature and consists mainly of government housing. There are many city level landmarks present in and around the site: Dilli Haat, INA Market, Sarojini Nagar, Leela Palace Hotel, Bhikaji Cama Place; and two distinguished hospitals: AIIMS and Safdarjung.

CASE STUDIES The housing studio began with case studies of different plots to help us understand the figures like ground cover, built up, FAR and densities.
PLOT I
PLOT II
The two plots shown here have the same plot size and same number of dwelling units but a huge difference in the quality of spaces. • In Plot I, the ground cover is less, providing more area for green cover, circulation and parking • In Plot II, there is built mass on all sides leaving no room for light to enter, thus making it seem dull • There is a play of heights in Plot I, ranging from G+5 to G+7, allowing better lighting and wind circulation, whereas there is no variation in Plot II • Better efficiency in area distribution (optimum usage) in Plot I as there are both 2BHK and 3BHK, whereas in Plot II, all DUs are of the same size (3BHK) which is smaller with respect to those in Plot I
HOUSING PROJECT Housing in urban areas is a prominent issue, specially in rapidly growing cities. Most areas with less density are therefore being reviewed under the Master Plan and are being redeveloped for accomodating higher density. The site selected for this project lies in East Kidwai Nagar near the AIIMS flyover. The FAR to be achieved was 1.75 for the 5-hectare site. 10 students worked out the overall Master Plan, out of which each hectare was to be detailed out in pairs. About 240 dwelling units needed to be accomodated in the 1 hectare site. Unit sizes ranged from 35 sqm to 150 sqm.
3RD YEAR | DESIGN STUDIO
HOUSING : RE-DENSIFICATION OF EAST KIDWAI NAGAR, NEW DELHI CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT • Peripheral road - Vehicular movement is restricted to periphery to keep the internal area pedestrain friendly • Fluidity in Greens - All building blocks connected through green spaces that cater to all age groups, together making it a large consolidated green. • Climatic response - The blocks on the south are limited to G+3 level, so that maximum amount of light can enter the site, improving the spatial quality.

ANTHROPOMETRICS is the comparative study of human body measurements and properties. The studio began with studying our own body movements by making mannequins according to our body measurements in 1:5 scale. With the help of these mannequins, the spaces required for basic daily activities like standing, sleeping, sitting on desk, opening a cupboard, etc. were recorded.
MANNEQUINS AT 1:5 SCALE
