Abstract
In Urbanized city, the quality of being sociable is missing due to lack of interactive spaces, and neighborhood spaces and vertical growth of a built form.
Which affects physical, psychological, and perceptual comfort to residents which were there in traditional Indian cities.
With rapid norms of living, the Indian houses are also transformed towards optimizing living spaces which is a financial need understood by the market.
The only attempt in history which has been done towards localizing in urban form has been done by C.A. Doxiadis through his theory of ekistics which explains, advocates and appropriate sociability with respect to traditional urban fabric.
Aim
To increase the sociability within a housing using digital design tools.

High-rise residential building in India
Entrance - one main entrance and several smaller entrances with security checks
Exterior areas / Open areas - site are inaccessible to the public and are reserved for residents
Lack of sociability leads to isolation as the controlled section does not fulfill any form of social function or does not offer an opportunity for tenants to interact in street life.

High-rise residential building in India
Lift
Interior public spaces that are used for circulation, not socializing
No Social Interaction
Without social interaction, people living in the same physical area represent a group of individuals living separately with little sense of community.
Meet mostly in the Elevator
Most high-rise residents have little opportunity to socially interact with their neighbors. They only meet in the elevators and have few chances to socialize.
Modern urban residents are exposed to various people on a daily basis; however, they still feel lonely because the psychological needs of community life are not satisfied in the same way they are in traditional living environments.

DOXIADIS THEORY
Doxiadis is the father of "ekistics", which concerns the science of human settlements, including regional, city, community planning and dwelling design. Ekistics attempts to encompass all scales of human habitation and seeks to learn from the archaeological and historical record by looking not only at great cities, but, as much as possible, at the total settlement pattern. Its major incentive was the emergence of increasingly large and complex conurbations, tending even to a worldwide city. It aimed at achieving harmony between the inhabitants of a settlement and their physical and socio-cultural environments.

Man always gives his structures the shape, or selects the route, that requires the minimum effort.

Staggered built form for privacy and shading effect
The central open space acts doubly as a community space. Sittings and gathering areas are designed in this space to create interest. The architect has used the time-tested method of mutual shading in the design.

C A S E S T U D Y2
Plan of a cluster (3 m x 15 m)
The staggering of dwelling units created mutual shading and also reduced the monumentality of the long building face making the building suit human scale.
The dwellings mostly are duplex and span the entire width of built space in such a way that all units are exposed to the internal courtyard as well as exterior. To achieve this, the architect had to keep the width of each dwelling unit minimal.
The architect staggered the units in section to create terraces on the outer periphery and thereby cleverly achieved shading of internal courtyards which is a common thermal comfort strategy historically adopted in old Indian cities.
Parking was provided according to the requirements of that period.
Vehicular and Pedestrian Movement is different.

A basic unit of 4 apartments is designed in such way that it can be linked with cantilevers on ends and partly on fronts to create a variety of interlinking spaces.
A basic unit of 2 apartments is designed in such way that it is forming a staggered form. In plan, staggering is maintaining the privacy and in section it is the part of sociability.
Linked hybrid is designed to increase the sociability. They have designed public places accordingly. They have connected the buildings via bridges. But it failed to do so at this much height.
