The yellow colour shows the sense of safety and hospitality around her mother SITE
CONCEPT My concept is derived from a universal image, a mother feeding her child. The whole sense of eating changes whenever a mother feeds her young one as the experience changes from only satisfying hunger to something spiritual. The relationship of mother with food is inseparable as it starts right from the beginning, from feeding her baby in womb to even many years after birth.
The red colour shows the flow of energy and lover from her mother bird to her baby bird. It shows the amount of affection which is present whenever a mother feeds her child.

EWS GROUP HOUSING A rehabilitation project of slum dwellers by providing EWS group housing
EWS GROUP HOUSING
CONCEPT
3rd YEAR DESIGN STUDIO F2 BLOCK SUNDERNAGRI NEW DELHI
The EWS group housing design studio project aimed to provide cost-effective housing for the people of Sundernagri, New Delhi. The existing conditions are very unhygienic and chaotic with very less space for living. People here majorly lacks clean toilets, streets and parks. The existing parks are filled with garbage and captured by the illsocial elements of the society. It is very important to provide a safer and better environment for the residents of F2 Block, Sundernagri.
My concept is to develop a community housing so that people can interact with each other Easily. The inspiration for my concept was taken from “Chaupal” way of planning in which The neighbourhood is compact and connected offering to lot of community interactions. Use of cost saving technique help in reducing the overall cost of the project. As motor market is near the site, I used techniques which were used by Laurie Baker in which waste product of car parts were used to make window frames.
HIERARCHY OF SPACE FOR SITE PLANNING
Hierarchy of space plays an important role while site planning for EWS group housing. Land is always a precious entity and for economically weaker people each inch of space matters. The way people will move around the site, playing area of children from their dwelling units, parking area for 2 wheelers and cars. The hierarchy of space also places an important role in providing security for that place.
For the rehabilitation process I did 2-3 case study of the existing site and prepared a questionnaire about the needs and desire of the existing residents of the area. From all the interview and casual talks I came to know that irrespective of the fact that the existing conditions are not suitable for living, the people living there still liked the place. They don’t show any kind of aspiration about the space. The only thing they desired about was of provision of a “Barrat Ghar” or a community wedding area and a proper park for playing and gathering in festivities.
The interlocking clusters is helping in providing unobstructed movement in the site as well as eyes on the street hence enhancing the security measures of the site. There are no narrow passages provided.
Two parks/gardens are given for children as well as old age people. It is equidistant from every dwelling of this portion of site. The parks will be maintained by the dwelling units of the clusters around it.
Parking for 4-wheeler vehicles are provided near the metallic road so that they not enter the internal streets of the clusters. Grass paver blocks are used for the pavement in the internal site. This will be accessible by the 2-wheelers as well as pedestrians.
The site is divide into two parts for the proper movement of fire tendor trucks through the site.
Each block is provided with parking of 2-wheelers. This is done because it will help in reducing the encroachment of open spaces for parking purposes.
Use of waste materials like tyres and leftover plastic pipes are used to provide play activities for the children. These materials are easily available nearby as most of the surrounding area is motor.
A playground is provided on the corner of the site so that big children can play sports here. Also this can be used as multi-purpose space for the site. They can use it for festive activities as well as common wedding celebrations.
Some shops are also provided. Mainly vegetable and departmental stores, which will be initiated by the government and items at cheaper rate than market rate will be provided for the residents. SITE PLAN SITE AREA= 1.22 Ha

DISSERTATION OPEN SPACES IN GROUP HOSUING OF DELHI A integrated civic centre designed for Noida sector 25-A providing a cultural hub for the residential neighbourhood
OPEN SPACES IN GROUP HOUSING OF DELHI 4th YEAR DISSERTATION
Urban open space is very critical to urban living. It is dependent on – both magnitude and its spatial arrangement. For any city around the globe availability, distribution and accessibility can be major concern. Due to urbanisation, quality of open spaces is depleting and gap between “Man” and “Nature” is increasing. This study aims to study the spatial arrangement & magnitude of open spaces of residential areas of Delhi and how it has changed over the years.
Delhi is one of the high-density cities in the world and its housing typologies have been continuing to develop for providing living units with adequate daylight and natural ventilation for the population. In such a high-density environment, open space is very important for us to take a deep breath and extend our daily life activities. This is especially important for the community in public housing. However, the open spaces typologies are changed from 3-dimensional interaction to 2-dimensional plane. They are also too far away from our living units and difficult to be used by the residents. In Delhi, it is often seen that large open spaces are encroached by housing colonies leading to environmental degradation and affecting city’s sustainability. The relevance of open space increases with increasing size of Delhi.
CONCEPT OF OPEN SPACES The definition of open space has evolved with time, covering all types of opportunities to suit the various needs of human beings, plants and animal species. Open spaces provide an array of social, economic, environmental and health benefits to individual as well as to community as a whole. The word open is very ironic here as it helps in increasing closeness of a community.
PLANNING STANDARDS FOR OPEN SPACES IN GROUP HOUSING It is important to set down standards that will ensure that within group housing enough open space is provided in the right place to cater for the normal out of door activities of the residents, and that the various types of open space provided form part of an overall pattern of open space provision at various scales of housing development. Spaces are considered as private, communal or public depending on how they are used, not on their ownership. Although in many cases ownership and use coincide, this is not necessarily the case in group housing as all space and dwellings are communally owned, but only certain spaces are communally used. After studying the three Master Plans of Delhi some of the inferences were drawn with respect to the changing norms of the master plan with changing times, for example: ▪ Minimum plot size for group housing is reduced from 4000sqm to 3000sqm. ▪ Maximum ground coverage is reduced from 35% to 33.3%. ▪ Increase in the proposed FAR from 167 to 200, promoting high rise development. Hence leading to increase In density which is increase in number of dwellings per hectare. ▪ Revision of parking norms. Changing it from 1.33ECS @ 100sqm floor area to 2ECS @ 100sqm floor area. ▪ The provision of houses for economically weaker section in master plans of 1962 was never achieved, hence giving rise to so many slum colonies in Delhi. ▪ Provision of EWS housing in all group housing to the extent of 15% of permissible FAR or 35% of dwelling area, whichever is higher.
CASE STUDIES I selected five group housings for my cases studies. As it is difficult to cover each and every group housing for my case study in short period of time. For the case studies I selected group housings which have been developed in the transition period with respect to master plans. After conducting the case studies and interview with the residents I drew analysis and conclusion for my dissertation: CONCLUSION • Right from the outset of a new scheme, open spaces are changing and developing. It is not always a once for all job, but a continuing process and can be interpreted as a dynamic entity of any housing society. • Whereas some changes cannot be anticipated, they can be planned to some extent, and ideally the design should be capable of absorbing normal characteristics of growth. • Regular inventory of the site features needs to be collaborated at the inception of planning level. • It is observed that density of dwelling units doesn’t play a role in changing or misuse of open spaces. The major issue regarding the misuse of open spaces is illegal expansion of units. • Open spaces which are maintained by government maintenance body rather than Residents’ Welfare Association are less maintained and resulting into cleanliness and security issues. • Planning should also consider the growth of technology and population. Like in most of my case study not enough parking space was given with respect to the rise in number of cars. Some alternate solutions should be given keeping in mind about future prospects. • It is important to draw attention to the interaction between the quality of public spaces and social groups living in housing estates. The quality of public spaces largely shapes the spatial behaviour of their residents.

DESIGN THESIS: URBAN MARKETPLACE Retail sector is the barometer of prosperity of a nation, state, or a city. It is an indicator of the entrepreneurship skills of the individuals. With the concern for active and relevant public spaces at the core of this research, the thesis project grows out of the need for an urban realm that is centered on the user as well as shopkeepers
URBAN MARKETPLACEREDEVELOPMENT/RE HABILITATION OF INA MARKET, NEW DELHI 4th YEAR ARCHITECTURE DESIGN THESIS
Retail sector is the barometer of prosperity of a nation, state, or a city. It is an indicator of the entrepreneurship skills of the individuals. It is also a proxy index of the industrial growth, as well as, freedom of the individuals. India has, on average 1 shop or vending unit per 100 population, i.e. it has more than a crore shops. The ratio is twice in metropolitan cities , like Delhi and Mumbai. For INA market the most important consideration is it’s strategic location- where the customers are many, they can reach here easily, there are compatible stores around and shops can be serviced by public transport.
SITE AND IT’S SURROUNDINGS The INA (INDIAN NATIONAL ARMY) market is situated in South Delhi and just opposite to AIIMS hospital. It is a Food bazar that offers visitors and buyers with a varied array of food products, fresh meat, seafood and vegetables. It is one of the oldest markets after independence and quite famous among Delhiites. This is the reason why INA market exudes a vibrant yet busy atmosphere as it is always crowded. The INA market exudes a vibrant yet busy atmosphere. It is a hub for many retailers who visit this market to purchase the rare and unique food products. This market place also features a few shops that retail rare but expensive liquor, spirit and wine. The Indian National market is also an exclusive and authentic market place that caters to both National and International customers. The shops here retails food products like varied flavour of ice creams, chocolates, candies and other eateries that are imported from other countries hence diversifying and heightening the standards of your shopping experience.

WHY REDEVELOPMENT OF THE MARKET? When redeveloping a significant area in the city, it is important to respond to the original building. There are two ways to go about it, one to completely nullify and ignore the current built space. The other method is to take the essence of the original building in terms of its volume, functionality, character, context, etc The construction will be executed phase wise. our site consists of three main areas which are: 1. Main INA market 2. Mohan Singh market 3. Kashmere market 4. Super bazar (which is defunct/vacant) The first phase of construction will start on super bazaar area as it is non functional needs to be demolished. Later the project will shift towards the front area for further development of project. ISSUES REGARDING THE MARKET
ASPIRATIONS
•
•
All the shops which will be redeveloped will be given better infrastructure with incentives in terms of area.
•
The units will be flexible in order to permit flexibility of growth options.
•
Shopkeepers aspire to transform themselves as per need of market.
•
A better community place for the market as well as proposing an inclusive growth of the market
The major issue here is of parking. The front open space of INA market gets congested due to haphazard parking of visitors’ cars. Also, under Bhagidari scheme a bus lane was made by including some of the land of market parking. Now the bus lane is not used by the buses and the authorities are not willing remove that lane hence contributing into congestion.
•
Due parking congestion, there is very less space left for service vehicles.
•
Fire extinguishing precautions are not enough.
•
Some of the people feel that there should be fast food outlets which is missing right now.
• •
Problem of ATM as only one machine is present in this market. The market shuts down when there are chance of communicable diseases associated with meat and seafood.
•
The market faces a major problem of sanitation as the back side of the market is littered with garbage and full of foul smell.
•
Passage space is not enough for movement specially during peak hours of market.
•
A lot of infrastructure problems are present like absence of sprinklers, cluttered electrical wires, broken plaster etc.
•
The market is not a wheelchair friendly place.

The kashmere market responds to the institutional axis formed from Vikas sadan. There are 50% shops which are notary/documentation purpose. There are many roadside parlours and tailors in this stretch. RICKSHWAS WAITING IN NMT AREA
SITE POROSITY
PANORAMIC VIEW OF KASHMERE MARKET, INA
USAGE AND CONNECTIVITY The site has a very interesting location as it is located on three main edges 1. EDGE FACING SHRI AUROBINDO MARG 2. EDGE FACING C.B MARG 3. EDGE FACING INA COLONY
The surrounding areas are mostly residential except the commercial site of Dilli Haat along with office areas of DDA Vikas Sadan and the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission(NCDRC) The residential areas mainly are INA Colony, Government Flats of Laxmibai Nagar, east and west Kidwai Nagar.
The porosity of a side depends on it’s access by cars/pedestrians visually as well as physically. Porosity then decides how zoning and built form will shape. Edge 1- Shri Aurobindo Marg as well as Edge 2- facing C.B Marg is porous and allows for the entry of pedestrian and vehicles into the site. The Edge 3- INA Colony has a boundary wall and very limited access points, hence forming the non-porous edge of the site
Market remains closed except few shops on Monday and has peak traffic on Sundays and Saturdays and on weekdays after office hours
