URBAN INTERVENTION INA AND ITS PRECINTS YEAR 4 / 2015 / DESIGN STUDIO INA and its precincts are located at one end of Aurobindo Marg, with Qutub Complex and Mehrauli on the other end of this road. INA and its precincts include AIIMS and Safdarjang Hospital; Vikas Sadan, Laxmi Bai Nagar, West Kidwai Nagar, the new development of East Kidwai Nagar, INA colony and the INA market. All the places in this region lead to a culmination of many different activities, including office people commuting to Vikas Sadan, CVC office; people shopping at INA market and Dilli Haat; others at AIIMS; and all the other activities of three residential colonies. Another important fact that makes this region all the more important is the fact that Aurobindo Marg is a high density road and helps disburse around the city on a large scale. The region is in urgent need of design rejuvenation, since it is a historically and culturally important place for Delhi, and it was not originally designed for the kind of density, traffic movement and environment that currently exists. It is and has always been an important area considering Safdarjung tomb, airport, and now INA to keep up its requirement. The design studio aims at creating a better understanding of architecture on a city level scale, where design interventions have an effect on a city-wide scale. The study of cause and effect of design intervention also creates an awareness about design strategies. The scale of the project plays an important factor, since management of work load and time efficiency are put to a test.

DILLI HAAT AND KASHMIRI HAAT Dilli Haat is already a well established cultural center, relocating and rehabilitating Kashmiri Haat makes this area a cultural hub which will attract thousands of visitors, renovation of the exisitng plan of Dilli Haat to give it more space and a well worked parking also helps to make it more comfortable.
ARCH Arch acts as the gateway to the starting and the end of Aurobindo Marg. It also unites and ties up the two distinct features of this new area.
SIGNAL FREE ROAD A signal free road plays an important part in disbursing trafďŹ c and that too at a fast pace. This plays an important role since the vehicular movement in the area is high. It also makes the roads safer and less prone to accidents.
TRANSPORTATION HUBS
Apart from the already existing movement pedestrians and vehicles for Vikas Sadan a other institutional buildings along with AIIM Safdarjung hospitals, new movement creat Dilli Haat, INA, Tree of Hope and Kashmiri H needs proper management to provide easy accessibility. Transportation hub facilitates accessibility via all public transport.
TREE OF HOPE A recreational plaza, visible from all over the city, with light shows to accentuate the space, to create a public space for both the citizens and tourists to enjoy the view of the city.

INA REHABILITATION INA has been rehabilitated to include new shops, increasing the overall standard and capacity of the market from a grocery and meat market to a market serving both the basic and recreational needs of the surrounding, which also helps to reduce trafďŹ c movement.
ABOUT THE DESIGN The design ideology that was followed was aimed to elevate and bring the design and quality of the area to an international level, to make the place more pleasurable for the visitors and visitorfriendly. We have tried to convert Aurobindo Marg into a signal-free corridor in the region, which helps to open up blockades created by cross-walking citizens. This brings us to another important aspect of the design ideology, which was to keep the design not only pedestrianfriendly but to actually make it pedestrian oriented as much possible with the given restrictions. We have also created designated parking zones for both public and private vehicals, as a major identiďŹ ed problem is unplanned auto-rickshaw stands which create a ruckus.

ABOUT THE SITE The site falls in Vasant Kunj in zone J (South West zone) along the proposed 75m ROW Mehrauli-Mahipalpur Road. The site lies in institutional area and also has schools near-by. The site is in close proximity to Sultan Garhi Tomb which is an ASI protected monument and hence appropriate approvals need to be taken before hand from the authorities. The site lies beyond the prohibited area for construction.

PROPOSED SITE CONTOUR AND HEIGHT VARIATION
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT The site has been so planned, that the natural and existing elements of the site are highlighted. Using the natural elements also helps protect the interest of the site, since it is in close proximity to Sultan Garhi Tomb, which is an ASI protected monument.
The main aim hence became to create an axis not only with the tomb, to give it importance, but also to make a connection with the water-body and the undulation of the land. The focal point of the planning is the administration block, which maintains a direct link with the tomb and also connects to the site and all the buildings. The administration block helps to place the buildings in such a way that none of them block each others view, and at the same time, a clear view of the tomb and the water body is possible from any block or building. This creates an equilateral triangle on both major levels of the site.
CRUCIAL ELEMENTS OF LAYOUT DESIGN: 1. Bring out the connection of the site with the tomb, 2. Utilizing the drop of level, 3. Preserving the natural slope and the water body on the site LEVEL DROP OF 5 M

CO-OPERATIVE GROUP HOUSING SOCIETY SECTOR - 26, DWARKA, NEW DELHI YEAR 3 / 2014 / DESIGN STUDIO Shelter is a basic human need. Shelter is one of our basic needs: it is a place that can protect us from the elements, keep us warm and safe, and give us the encouragement to satisfy our other needs. Housing satisďŹ es the need of belonging, gives a sense of safety and provides for a comfortable physical environment. Considering the out growth of population in India, there is a need to provide sustainable housing at the same pace, otherwise more and more people will have to live without proper shelter. This proposal may be implemented by Private ownership. The design studio aims at creating an understanding of function driven design keeping in line with the given norms and regulations, as per the city’s civic authority. Importance is also given to climatic conditions, basic human needs, sustainability.
ABOUT THE PROJECT The project is located at sector 26 ,Dwarka, the site is accessible via 30m wide main road and 20m wide service road, giving it good accessibility. Adjacent to the proposed site exists Bharthal Village covering an area of 4.48Ha. The site surroundings are proposed as Residential zones in the Master Plan of the city. The project caters to a high population density of 1.75 dwelling unit per hectare, with HIG and MIG housing, apart from the necessary housing for EWS. Thus, a total of 720 units are required for the group housing.

ABOUT THE SITE The site is a plot in a residential colony, with a market and Metro Station in close proximity. The site is also divided by an oil pipeline that crosses from almost the center. The oil pipeline creates a restriction, since any construction with a foundation cannot be undertaken in this region of the site. The region has excellent connectivity since the Metro station is in close proximity with a bus stand and taxi stand close-by as well.

PROPOSED SITE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT CHAKRA a chakra in Sanskrit means, "wheel" is thought to be an energy point or node in the subtle body. Chakras are believed to be part of the subtle body, not the physical body, and as such, are the meeting points of the subtle (non-physical) energy channels called nadi.
EVOLUTION OF PLAN The plan started with two chakras like in a vehicle for movement. The circulation of the craft bazaar is just like the wheel of life or like a chakra, it is continuous. The movement is such that any direction you go in, your movement and circulation always ends up being in a ow, and the user end will up going through each and every stall and every area. The circular shape also allows to create an open space in the center which makes an open space in the core area, which helps in dispersing the crowd, and also acts as a buffer space.

PRIMARY SCHOOL DWARKA SECTOR - 6, NEW DELHI YEAR 2 / 2013 / DESIGN STUDIO A School is an institution that imparts knowledge in a way understandable to its pupils, knowledge that has been built over the information humans have collected over the years of evolution. A Primary school is further more important since it is the foundation on which any person builds himself, and for this foundation to be strong, infrastructure plays an important role. The design studio aims at creating an understanding of basic design and anthropometry at a small scale level. Importance is given to creating an environment that is creative, playful, inducive and in addition, also to climatic conditions, sustainability.

ABOUT THE SITE The site is a plot in a residential colony, with a high school, Vishwa Bharti Public School, on the adjacent site. The site is at, without any kind of contours or undulations. It also has no constraints, and is subject to regulations as per the district authority for any other institution.
TREE OF KNOWLEDGE Trees are one of the most basic yet a highly evolved form of life which help in creating a balance on life on Earth. Being one of the oldest life forms on the planet, trees not only depict growth but also are self-sustaining and instead provide food, clean air, shade and a safe habitat to other living creatures. In India, trees are not only worshiped but are believed to give knowledge, and the earliest forms of school, Ashrams, Vidyalayas started from under a tree, where teachers used to teach dues to the shade of the tree.

VERTICAL CITY A F U T U R E O F S U S TA I N A B L E C I T Y YEAR 4 / 2015 / DESSERTATION
People have imagined ideal cities for millennia. Plato's Republic was an ideal city, although lacking in the spatial detail of later schemes. Renaissance architects designed numerous geometric cities, and ever since architects have been the chief source of imaginative urban proposals. In the twentieth century, Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Paolo Soleri, and dozens of other architects have designed cities on paper. Although few have been realized in pure form, they have influenced the layout of many new towns and urban redevelopment projects. In his "Contemporary City for Three Million People" of 1922 and "Radiant City" of 1935, Le Corbusier advocated a high-density urban alternative, with skyscraper office buildings and mid-rise apartments placed within park-like open spaces. Different land uses were located in separate districts, forming a rigid geometric pattern with a sophisticated system of superhighways and rail transit. Frank Lloyd Wright envisioned a decentralized low-density city in keeping with his distaste for large cities and belief in frontier individualism. Areas are also carefully set aside for small farms, light industry, orchards, recreation areas, and other urban facilities. A network of superhighways knits the region together, so spatially dispersed facilities are actually very close in terms of travel time. So what will the ideal city of the future? How will our cities evolve to fulfill our growing needs? What will be the main ideas around which our cities will develop and grow? The vision of a new Vertical City is inspired by how the current urban planning approach that is rooted in the environmentally harmful, energy inefficient, and unsustainable post-World War II mentality of cheap fossil fuels, car ownership, and an exhausted transportation system, and needs a drastic change for the future. It is a call for a new paradigm to address the urgent problems of unprecedented human population totals and tidal waves of rural migration into cities. The solution it seems lies in the optimization of population density, thereby changing every important aspect of a city. A Vertical City is a high-capacity, high-efficiency ultra-tall buildings occupying a relatively small car-free, pedestrian friendly parcel of land. In my view, A Vertical City starts with a large piece of land. Then there is a raised podium above which the city exists. The city is surrounded by green land, cropland, and agricultural land. And then rise out of the podium, ultra-high towers, some 250 floor, and even 400 floors above the podium. These tower connected to each other via bridge like Sky Lobby, which are green and have people shopping, drinking, relaxing, sunbathing, swimming, or just socializing. These sky lobbies are like “village centres”, where people naturally gather, local artists, performers, and even street vendors displaying their skills. Surrounding this city is open croplands, which help to get produce for the city, which also give a beautiful open view of green lands to the citizens from their ultra-high tower. These farmlands also act as a buffer between the existing city and its gimmicks, separating the two out, connected via a super-highway.

U N B U I LT L O N D O N LO N D O N S T U M P S ARCHITECTURAL ASSOCIATION / 2014 / SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAMME From Cedric Price’s Fun Palace, to Winston Churchil’s Was Room, and the hundreds of spaces, buildings, and years in between and since, London is characterised by the seminal projects that define the form and culture of the city. London has been shaped by both the built and unbuilt projects throughout its history. At the school we aimed to invent, speculate and design our own London Project by inventing new worlds to challenge the status quo. The programme aims to challenge students to consider London’s major projects as propositions that suggest new architectures alongside cultural, political and social repositioning of the city.

STUMP AS IT EXISTS
WOODEN CONNECTIONS
The point of departure is the ‘stump’: an abandoned structure that was destined to become a tower on the London skyline. We study and replace a failed London tower using our own imagination. We then built a structure that carries Victorian optimism and embraces a future vision for London. London’s two stumps, the Pinnacle and Watkin’s Tower were objects of their designers’ highest ambitions to create the tallest and most complex structure in the skyline of London. They do not only represent engineering ingenuity: they were meant to be an icon, a tourist attraction and a market-driven idea that fell just short of riding their wave of momentum. MOULDING
