UNWINDING BOUNDARIES THESIS

The human mind recognizes spaces in form of boundaries…. the confining or the opening of entities in time and space leaving impressions on the psyche through various occurrences or events or a Percival of a series of events, which one tries to formulate into logical entities reducing discrepancies between what the mind expects and what it experiences. So then by the lieu of this a question arises that …what is architecture… is it the existence of a built form itself or the space that confounds the built from?

Thesis is about to understand how Space influence by People over Time and how these aspect of “SPACE – TIME – PEOPLE” shapes the surrounding architectural language.

After analyzing the relation between space and built form through the aspect of time, place and people and conclude how space influence the surrounding built form.

Also, presence of numerous institutions right next to lake affected the surrounding by making it more dense in terms of residential as well as commercial activities.

Section BB

Focal point People take pause and come After the intervention of Town Hall by architect Claude Batley in 1930, the site became the prime focus for the public gathering and activities.

Expansion Phase-faster, new interventions Over time, with the expansion of city on western side and development around Town Hall people started moving faster and the perception of space changed.

Urbanism People move with super sonic speed Present day with urbanization, there are tall towers, compact commercial complexes which results into supersonic moving phase. People have no time to look around and explore surrounding space and architectural language.

THE NEXUS

Housing Studio In this “Unconventional Housing” studio, the idea was to design housing Scheme which caters to the higher middle class of people. The site was hypothetical so that the context and the other technicalities does not restrict the ideas and innovation that was to be made in this studio. The project incorporates 250 luxurious apartment with extensive private garden or terrace Decent housing for everyone not only improves and drives the overall economic well-being of a country, but protects and improves the physical well-being & health of people as well.

Rapid growth in population and urbanizations are of the biggest contributing factors to the challenges. Housing has been weaponist: it has liberated as well as oppressed its subjects.

Work in relations have to created the modern apartment and new housing typologies.
