Acknowledgement Evolution of “para-morph ace” the urban street furniture project has been compiled seeing the growing need of people in India. It gives us the immense pleasure to be associated with this project. The project was a joyous learning process. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our tutors Ar. Swapnil Gawande and Ar. Deva Prasad, for their guidance and constant supervision, providing their valuable guidance, comments, and suggestions throughout the course of the project. We would like to express our gratitude towards Ar. Dhanashree Sardeshpande, HOD, Department of Digital Architecture, BNCA, for her kind co-operation and encouragement which helped us in the completion of this project. We would even like to thanks our juror Ar. Poonam Sardesai for her valuable comments which helps us to improve for further design. Then we would like to thanks our parents who have helped us with their suggestion and support which has been very helpful in various phases. Last but not the least, we would like to thank our colleagues and finally our team members. Without their abilities, it would not have been the better design.

Abstract Studio Para Morph-ace aspires to design functional furniture in urban space that welcome the user to add contemporary & luxurious experience to their journey. The design strategy begins with identifying various sites for intervention and selection of desired site. Then it goes on to study the site in detail and carry out different site conditions and survey. Two case studies are analyzed to further grow the knowledge in the subject and site is analyzed based on circulation and user groups and activities. Three micro sites are identified and after analysis one is proposed for the design intervention. The parameters, seat profiles are obtained through computational methods and a family of benches is created and analyzed to get design iterations and final design. The furniture intervention is then examined and fabricated using the material study and digital fabrication techniques explored.

Scope of Project Based on analysing the site parameters and observation the Focus & Guidelines for designing of this network of these streets are as under: • The Services laid in the street will be permanent in nature & one will maintained through designed & not by digging the Road or Pavement Area in decade to come. • These streets will be designed by giving priority to pedestrians, and are wide enough for unhindered, unobstructed use by all user groups – including differently abled users. • The Street will be designed & executed such that it is a place for Social interaction (according to age group) having appropriate Street Furniture (seating, dust bins, signage), Recreation Space, shading element, facilities such as sockets, Wi Fi, Appropriate Street Lighting. • Placemaking helps to define the pattern and use of the built environment and the manner and ease in which people can access, connect and move around in it. Placemaking can also help build and enhance sense-of-place by creating spaces that encourage social interaction and support interesting activities. • It will encourage residents to not only gather in the evenings, but also to leave their cars at home to walk to the nearby facilities.
Objective “Footpaths should not only be stretches where pedestrians walk. It should be a ‘public space’ which can be accessed by all. It should allow people to relax and interact, while at the same time, create variety,”

Introduction
Site Option 1: J. M. Road, Pune
Pune city has the privilege of being one of the foremost cities in the competition held under the SMART Cities Mission of Govt of India. Studio Para Morph-ace aspire to design functional furniture in urban space that welcome the user to add contemporary & luxurious experience to their journey.

Site Selection Criteria
Reasons for selecting the site:
Site context
The “pedestrian plaza” on ITI road in Aundh is buzzing with activity - youngsters visiting the shops, restaurants and utilities located nearby while dozens of people, including the elderly sit on the benches and seating alcoves around the trees, chatting well into the night.
Aundh is a residential area, situated in the eastern part of Pune near the National Chemical Laboratory, about 3km away from Pune University. The people residing here mainly belong to the upper middle-class section of the society. The Aundh- ITI road serves both, residen- Image 2.b - Exisiting Activities on Site tial area on one side and the Industrial Training Institute on the other side. Some part of it also consists of commercial activities.
Image 2.c - Exisiting Activities on Site ITI Road
In 2010, the stretch had a footpath only on the ITI side while the residential edge remained uncleaned and unattended without pedestrian path. Later, the PMC proposed a footpath on this side hence, increasing the right of way.
The Pune Municipal Corporation under the vision of demonstrative projects has selected ITI Road streets in the Aundh to be one of them.

•
All big and old trees are retained to provide shade
Cons •
Not well lit.
•
The hawker walking or sitting nearby - selling anything from seasonal fruit to an evening savoury.

There also branded stores and Asia’s largest Crossword which is a major attraction for the area. Located on the main ITI Road, the street is always filled with people of predominantly youngsters and elderlies. The locality also houses a lot of housing societies and colonies which in turn makes the street an interactive social area in the mornings and evenings.

The site is located along an 18m wide road which has parallel parking on either side. The proposed site is 100m long and varies from 13m - 15m in width. The site has trees with alcoves having big canopies which act as a shading device for the seating provided underneath. The pathway also has designated 2.5m wide footpath and few temporary benches were also provided.

LED lights are mounted inside the furniture pieces, developing a dreamlike landscape. At night, the pieces transform into light sculptures that use warm colors and movement to coincide with the volume and tone of the audio recordings.
The public artwork, entitled “Can you tell me a secret?” is a collection of temporary street furniture: a phone booth that records visitors’ stories and plays them back randomly into five wooden benches.

Three micro sites were identified seeking design opportunities as per the proposed activities. We have compared the pockets selected on basis of various factors and criteria to decide on one particular microsite to study it in detail and its character to intervene an urban furniture. The criteria selected for comparative analysis to select the site are number of activities, number of people waiting, time spent on site, frontage of microsite. As per the observations the micro site option 2 was proposed. DA • Batch 2017-19 • Studio Para Morph-ace

Design Approach As per the understanding of brief of Studio Para Morph-ace, site analysis and mapping were carried out and was overlaid on one another, to study the user behavioral pattern of the user group and their activities. This lead to the selection of the site module for which the proposed design should cater to. Joining Proximity Points to form Triangles

1. Modelling on Rhino / Grasshopper
Exterior Wood Screws High resitance ®to all climatic conditions
OUTDOOR ACCENTS Decorative Hardware Excellent adhesion of Plies for more strength
2. Slicing the model to obtain profile to be cut
The new Outdoor Accents® decorative hardware features connectors and fasteners for building custom outdoor living structures that are stylish and structurally strong. The line includes post bases, angles, T and L ties and fasteners.
<5% Water Absorption Good screw holding strength ®
OUTDOOR ACCENTS Structural Wood Screw The Outdoor Accents® structural wood screw reduces installation time by driving easily without predrilling. When combined with the patent-pending, load-rated Outdoor Accents hex-head washer, the solution delivers the decorative appearance of a bolted connection but Size: with a much easier installation. The screw’s bold thread design enables superior holding to attach ledgers and other secure connections.

Conclusion The furniture has meticulous fabrication and material studies that contribute in conception of flexible design strategies that respond to specific programmatic need of users as per the site condition. Hence, the design meets its required output and has a specific system that can be applicable to diverse sites, and environment and the generated output can be adaptive and variable with flexibility.
Further Approach The furniture can be of only 1m length with a particular varying position and it can arranged together as per the length required. We could even get a circular sitting by derived profile. There can also be a provision of down lighters in module to highlight the specific area.
