ABOUT ME

I’m a graduate architect who believes that architecture is about people and communities and that the built environment should foster relations among people living within and around the structure. I strive to balance architecture with my love of music and draw inspiration for one from the other.

I am a person who is meticulous and who eagerly approaches every challenge in life with determination. I consider myself a curious person who is always willing to learn and open to criticism.

REBUILDING RELATIONS

Abstract

Urbanisation has long been a catalyst for growth in cities. As the city of Mumbai develops, its heritage -both tangible and intangible- has been unable to keep up with the ever-changing urban landscape. Indigenous communities of Mumbai are some who are the most affected by urbanisation and risk losing their sense of place and identity in the city.

The East Indians are such a community in Mumbai. Over the years, East Indian gaothans have battled urbanisation through reclamation, redevelopment and gentrification. Today redevelopment still poses a risk to the cultural and architectural heritage of the gaothans. Development in the gaothans often does not account for the historical or existing site context, resulting in high-rise structures standing out among the cottages. Further, these high rises put a strain on existing resources in the area and lead to a slow gentrification of the area.

These gaothans speak of a sense of community and are a breath of fresh air in the concrete jungle that is Mumbai today. While development is necessary, there is a need to retain and encourage aspects of the community’s cultural and architectural heritage.

East Indians awarded OBC status

Around 3,50,000 East Indians reside in nearly 80 gaothans

Gaothans and Koliwadas are present along the coastal or marshland areas.

Local communities fish in shallow waters or carry out farming and salt making.

Land filling in the marshlands results in a loss of biodiversity and affects the livelihoods of the community, forcing them to change occupations.

REDEVELOPMENT

Due to land reclamation, koliwadas that once bordered the coast are now pushed inland, forcing the community to move into deep-sea fishing.

The gaothans and koliwadas are surrounded by urban sprawls. Land acquisition projects have seized farming and orchard lands from the community.

Future development projects threaten villages along the west coast

GURUKUL DESIGN JAWHAR, PALGHAR

In tribal settlements where the population is below the poverty line, one of the biggest concerns and challenges is education. Hamlets established in such regions resort to agrarian and animal rearing practices as a means for sustenance. The practices of everyday living in such contexts stem from acts that enable rural ecosystems. Such conditions often prove conducive for vocational methods of teaching rather than formal learning mechanisms.

Children play a large role in the daily cycles of such hamlets and this is where holistic, skill-based education can prove to be highly beneficial. The brief called for the design of a gurukul as well as community spaces to allow for a holistic growth of the children and their community as well.

DOCUMENTATION

As part of the architecture design studio for Semester 6, a study of Sassoon Dock was carried out. The aim was to understand the physical and intangible heritage of the docks and its importance to the city of Mumbai.

This documentation aimed to create awareness about the docks and the local community associated with it as well as raise questions about the future of this industry.

The documentation was divided into 5 sub-topics: History, Context, Landscape, Activity Mapping and Demographics .

From that they get 200-300 rupees daily on the days they get the fish, but sometimes they did not get any fish from fishermen. On those days they do not earn any money Due to that it creates problem for household expenses. There are also other business women who purchase fish in large quantities and supply it to the people who are willing to meet their price demands. Netmaking is an skilled work which they learn in their villages from their parents. - They work in the group of 5-15 depending upon the size of the boats. - They work throughout the year .During the monsoon, they take new net making orders while rest of the time they repair the old nets. - They are not connected with any government or local authorities.

THE URBAN INSERT | ARCHMELLO 2024 UI23F6386 The Gateway of India, designed to commemorate the landing of King George V and Queen Mary is synonymous with the city of Mumbai. The structure was intended as a symbolic ceremonial entrance and the large plaza in front served as a place for military parades and processions. Over the years the Gateway of India has become a tourist hotspot for locals and foreigners alike. It has also seen its fair share of tragedy with bomb blasts in 2003 and the terror attacks in 2008. While the times and the function of the plaza have evolved, the physical space is still suited for military parades and not for public recreation.

Identifying existing view points and access routes intersecting with the existing axis line. Maintaining the symmetry and ensuring the memorial is the central focus on site. A circular form symbolizes unity, community and protection Repetitive curved partitions ensure memorials and exhibition spaces are integrated with existing access routes and viewpoints PROCESS DIAGRAMS This project aims to shake off the colonial image of the plaza and instead create a people-centered space. The design program centers around a memorial, unifying people in remebrance of attacks on the city. Around the memorial, education spaces are created to create awareness on the historical importance of the area. Finally, partitions branching out from the memorial act as a canvas for artists and the public to exhibit their talent and encourages public participation in the overall development of the site.

29 64ANDC-159 Tracing back the origins of the ever growing cities and human settlements, the core of developments in the field of construction is recapitulated to the labour sector. The workers being the foundation of building onto this loop of expanding settlements, what happens to their exploited living background is an act of dilemma. The whole of development comes in by starting from these roots which contribute the most, throughout the phase of construction. THE UNFILTERED ENCAMPMENT The workers being an integral part of the construction industry, their lifestyle and background should be considered of eminent importance. This can be brought about by bridging the gap between these construction labourers and the employers and also uniting the workers as a core group; sensitising towards the problems faced by these people coming from different regions and dedicating their efforts and time towards the development of others, while they themselves decay in a neglected living. Location Mumbai, Borivali East, Daulat Nagar. The movement patterns are defined by the major roadways creating gathering spots along the threshold spaces. These primary spaces further activate the entire area and gives way to more informal focal points. Connectivity | Transition | Integrating spaces Located in Borivali East, the site takes up a part of the residential sector, wherein there are 3 plots with the same set of workers. The site area houses a whole of 60-70 construction workers. Out of the two main plots, one is at a stage of laying the third slab and the other is at laying the first slab, which is long past its initial phase of SITEC SITEB SETI A TEA STALL SECTION THROUGH SITE A - Lap joint to attach adjacent floor panels together. - Both sides of panel tied to the framework. - Door with bamboo frame and decking sheet panel. - Decking sheets for roofing. - Members of roofing framework tied with rope. - Window is a cut out in the wall panel, where the shutter becomes an adjustable chajja. - An Indoor-Outdoor stand used for drying clothes. - The roof sloping and as an alternative, can be extended by adding a mezzanine floor. - Mezzanine floor is fixed halfway at a height of 2.1 m using bamboo framework - The partition wall is made of a fabric, stretched on bamboo framework. - Resting Space - Cot (Charpai) woven with cotton tape. - Fabric cloth hooked onto the bamboo frame. -Joinery detail of bamboo framework. - Bamboo shelves created for storage, tied using a rope to the main framework. Step 01 Step 02 Step03 Step 04 Step05 Step 01 Step 02 1) A mezzanine floor can be used in case of space constraints on site. 2) The mezzanine floor is optional and can be added on to the existing unit if there is an increase in number of labourers. - Internal wall creates a private space which can be used as changing room, child care. I N ERIOR - A single housing unit consisting of three modules arranged in a “U” shape can have multiple arrangements depending on the site constraints. - This arrangment of the housing units creates a larger gathering space in front of the accommodation. This option can be used on sites with larger open areas. - The housing units can be arranged in a staggered manner. This option can be used if there is limited space between the workers accommodation and the construction area - On a sloping terrain, extra members are added for levelling the structure. - On flat terrain, the module is elevated above the ground using bricks - The window panel position can be adjusted depending on the climate and site conditions of the region - PVC pipes - Bamboo - Plywood - Dryboard - Steel decking sheet - UPVC Roof sheet - Corrugated cement sheet - Nailing of joints to provide more strength - Using pipes instead of bamboo for the framework - This linear arrangement of the module is the most basic. - The housing units can be arranged in parallel rows. This option creates more smaller gathering spaces. Mater a A e Ate natives ANDC ENTRY | NASA 2021-22
