Navigating Inclutions in the World of Familiarity

Urban segregation in Mira Road, driven by dominant social identities, has resulted in stark inequalities, social exclusion, and the erosion of the communal fabric of shared spaces. This project explores these issues, aiming to design inclusive urban environments that foster equality and social cohesion.

Existing Road Network

Primary Roads

Secondary Roads Tertiary Roads

Horizontal Plane

Promotes non - hierarchical and interconnected nature of Rhizomes.

Existing Entries

Existing Site conditions provide entries to the pedestrian from the following entry points only.

Opening up the Site from all sides

The proposal aims to allow access to pedestrians from the following points thus ensuring smoother navigation.

Building Placement

Built Structure placed around the nodes where it does not hinder the movment.

Movement Pattern due to Proposed Entries

Multiple Pathways encourages exploration and interaction as users are not confined to use a single path.

Nodes based on Intersection

These nodes form the maxiumum intersection of the paths which leads to impromptu meetings and exchanges.

Form Development

Developing the form to accomodoate pedestrians through multiple entries.

Terrain Form

Forming a terrain so that the site becomes one continuous space and people can walk everywhere outdoor or indoor - on the ground or on the roof.
