Urban Greenscapes

Urban Greenscapes Vol-1 Anshul Goyal

The photographs show how building becomes Green & Built forms shapes the city. The flash of those built forms reminds us of the importance it holds for the city. Sometimes built forms shapes the whole urban fabric, Sometimes they hold some historical value and sometimes they signify the start of a new architecture definition within the city. The picture brings in that connection between buildings, people & green-scapes.

This visual story shows how landmarks work across different cities and if they have many similarities. Does the scale of a building matter to make it a landmark or it's defined by the characteristic it has? Does the density or its surroundings play a major role to make it a landmark?

How a landmark building behaves at night or how does it behave during the day. Through the photos, I have tried to capture the scale, build vs open, skyline, density, uniqueness.

The photographs do not follow any time. It’s the characters or the promptness that caught my eye. Moving through the streets of some cities I have been in the past I found that how these buildings are affecting the surroundings in one way or the other. The scale is something that comes naturally to you as an Architect. Emphasis was to give to project the correct scale of the building in each case moving from street to street. Also, idea was to see how streets interact with the greens. In some cases, greens made the landmark the focal point naturally and, In some case, a deliberate attempt is made to make the landmark the focal point.

To study the interaction of building typology with other buildings within the city and see how close they are knitted together in the same urban fabric

The contrasting nature of built vs open is to understand how one compliments each other. How one balances the other.

Skyline

This is to understand how different building eventually constitutes to a City’s skyline.
