DESIGN CONCEPT A DISTRIBUTED APPROACH TO BUILDING PLANNING In the ideal, a student’s secondary educational career is a journey that prepares them to become a lifelong learner. Our study seeks to express that journey in how the spaces are distributed and organized – distributed but grouped to foster interdisciplinary learning and connections. The broad and diversely programmed central stair, the building’s literal and metaphorical spine greets the student upon entry and provides a path through the building AND their educational experience.
distributed planning axonometeric view
stairs as education pathway
EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY The stair connects all levels of the building with a clear path that also functions as an active, programmable element while linking uses on each floor and between floor. The stair is designed to provide stadium seating and breakout space for students (and faculty) at each floor thereby acting as a hub for each floor / academic neighborhood.

SHANTIGRAM TOWNSHIP Shantigram is a sub urban development proposal for a developing group by the name of Adani group. This design proposal was an entry to the competition held by Adani group for the design of Luxurious single family houses and High rise Multi family residential buildings along with amenities like golf course, club house and commercial area. The pupose of the proposal was to create a thriving residential area with ample amenities and open spaces. The three important approaches towards the design of the Master Plan were : • 1. To provide space for maximum no. residences to support the retail and offices in the central hub of the sub urban development. • 2. To create open spaces that are flexible in their usage and also serve as green infrastructure. • 3. To respect the desire for privacy in residential area, while allowing for permeability to enhance social interaction between the residents. This combined approach will help in developing a residential area that could successfully support the central hub and make the sub-urban development in shantigram an economically and urbanizistically vibrant central hub.
Responsibilities: • Worked on the MasterPlan proposal under supervision of Firm Principal as Project Architect/ Urban Designer. • Designed the layouts for the Villa’s and High Rise Residential Buildings as Project Lead. • Lead the team for the preparation of presentation drawings. • Co-ordinated various services for the proposal till design development phase.

TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES
transit oriented development is not:
transit oriented development is:
Over the last decade, Kansas City has begun to transform its Downtown into a vibrant and mixed-use neighborhood. Baby boomers and millennials alike are looking to live in places that are walkable and have a strong sense of community. As Downtown Kansas City continues to develop in general and in particular along the new streetcar line, special attention needs to be paid to new development in order to ensure that their overall design supports this significant public investment and contributes to the attractiveness and energy of Downtown. The TOD Policy will provide a foundation to guide both public and private investment at transit stops and along transit corridors. The initiatives in this document range from high-level citywide policy recommendations to specific design standards and the reprioritization of the City’s capital improvement program. The TOD Policy is intended to apply to all potential TOD locations citywide and for all modes of transit (bus, streetcar, and other rail). It is designed to assist with the implementation of existing recommendations in adopted City plans and provide a coherent vision for leveraging transit investments throughout the city.

Information Integration with Sidewalk and Public Space Design transit facilities that thoughtfully integrate into sidewalks and public spaces, in order to enhance the experience for transit users.
Flexible and Dynamic Streets Design streets in TOD areas as dynamic, diverse, flexible places that accommodate a variety of uses, programming and activities in addition to their mobility functions. Streets that can accommodate a range of uses, activities, and interactions support a more active environment throughout the day. Accommodating a variety of uses and experiences on streets can enhance the pedestrian experience and overall livability of TOD areas, and thereby increase the desirability and viability of transit use. In station area planning or review of transit-oriented development, the City should encourage streets that are flexible and multi-purpose, particularly in major destinations and high Private Use Area activity locations. If sidewalk space allows, allow the use of this space for cafĂŠs, performers, and food vendors, which contribute to the pedestrian experience.
Mobility Area Should stay clear of any obstructions from other uses like cafe, performances, food trucks, or sitting
DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
Dynamic and Flexible Spaces Design public spaces as dynamic, diverse, flexible places that accommodate a variety of uses, programming and activities.
Transportation Amenities Where integrated with transit facilities, design public spaces to include amenities such as bike racks, lockers, ticket kiosks, or other amenities that support the use of transit and greater mobility in general.
THUNDER VALLEY REGENERATIVE COMMUNITY CHALLENGES The Thunder Valley Regenerative Community Plan was one of the first initiatives to move forward to implementation from the previously adopted Oyate Omnicye | Ogala Lakota Regional Plan for the Pine Ridge Reservation. The goal of the Thunder Valley Regenerative Community is to create a sustainable and interconnected community that provides better housing, places for business to thrive and a healthy supportive environment for youth, elderly and families. The community is envisioned as a living laboratory to build skills, knowledge and capacity for residents. This project explores and refines new ways of living that build on traditional Lakota values to develop innovative, homegrown Native solutions. Through the process of engaging the community in an informed dialogue of discovery led to a huge vision – the vision of a planned community with the highest performance goals of any community in America: 100% water reclamation, 100% energy generation – one of the first net zero energy communities in North America, located at ground zero for poverty.

THE BIG IDEA
aerial view
THE DESIGN CONCEPT The design for this regenerative community looks to traditional Lakota geometries and community values for its form as well as modern day practices for compact cooperative communities. There are three circles of single family homes, with each circle having 7 homes. The number 7 represents the seven sacred ceremonies of the Lakota people. These circles and the larger circle containing the commercial district and pow wow grounds open to the east. A green spine corridor connects the homes to the marketplaces, daycare, gym and school. The four directions provide primary ordering system for the circulation as well allow for passive solar orientation of each space.

URBAN REDEVELOPMENT-CHANDNI CHOWK Chandni Chowk is the main street of shahjahanabad, the old city of delhi made by mughal emperor shah jahan in 1600. Over the years the city and the road has changed from a mixed use development to commercial use with few residential buildings. Ministry of Science and Technology in partnership with Muncipal Corporation of Delhi started the project to redevelop the historic street with objectives to create pedestrian friendly environment, conserving heritage and starting an outreach programme focusing on capacity building for heritage of shahjahanabad. This 1.3km stretch was the pilot project for the whole area, and included understanding of service areas for commercial activity and development of the commercial sector along with increase in residential component of the area. This area is rich in terms of heritage, with many national heritage monuments and centers of religious importance located in the vicinity.

AMRITSAR URBAN REDEVELOPMENT
The project has been initiated by the government of punjab to revitalize the urban core of old city of amritsar from tourism point of view. Old city is home to the golden temple, the most important shrine of sikhism and jaliawala bagh, an area of national importance. The project was started by finding the potential and hurdles in development specifically in inner core areas of the old city. an urban revitalization study was done which proposed 4 different projects for the comprehensive redevelopment. the next step was to integrate all the projects with each other for the overall development of the area. As a result of the findings it was decided to introduce bus routes in such way so as to connect all the important areas and also to serve the community as a part of city public transport system. The old city has 4 gates, part of the old city wall that has long been destroyed. these gates are located on major roundabouts around the old city. This gates were remeasured and the extent of damages was recorded and conservation team developed the plan for the restoration of these gates. A new proposal was given for correcting the roundabouts geometery and make the areas around them more pedestrian friendly, along with better signage system and street furniture. Artifacts and statues were installed on roundabouts for unique identity of the areas. Town hall which is currently being used as local law enforcement agency’s office, was proposed to be converted into a collection point for all the tourists, because of to its proximity to both the golden temple and jaliawala bagh. The renovated town hall will house galleries, food courts, tourist information center while functioning as a heritage monument showcasing the historical architecture of the old city.

GURGAON HOUSING COMPLEX The sense of ownership, identity and individuality is gradually losing its role from the design process in the fast growing Housing market of India. This not only affects the built mass but is also affecting the open spaces. Large group of Tall monotonous residential buildings with common, closed greens is further secluding the users from the common areas which are rapidly losing there importance as social and cultural center for the community. The project was an in depth research about the usage of spaces on individual basis as well as a community in a multiple apartment complex and the ways to attain a balance between a housing unit which is an extreme private space with large community spaces which are on the far extreme of public spaces spectrum. The Housing semester in school gave us an opportunity to research in issues pertaining to Housing in India and we as a group of three chose to pursue the issue of social, community and personal identity of spaces in conjunction with design of multiple apartments in Gurgaon, Haryana.

IDEAS DESIGN STRATEGIES
Community Voids The degree of individual and community identity varies from culture to culture. In India, the sense of community spaces CONCEPT is not strong and such spaces end up being piled with garbage or turn into large, barren open spaces which fail to link up the housing units. To inculcate a sense of community identity, it becomes important to ‘privatize’ the community greens into smaller community spaces with 6-8 units per floor ‘owning’ it. The people who use the space are able to relate to the scale and develop a sense of responsibility as a collective group.
Pattern and Geometry
Axis and View
The shape and the general appearance of a cluster must make it stand out as an easily identifiable entity, so that it can become the personalized property of the families that live there. Need for identity in the dwelling appears to be a basic human need. The form of the housing is punctuated with community voids which form the hub of every cluster and provide an essential outdoor space which can also be used for community gatherings. These punctures in the housing mass also create a rich visual experience.
