This work sample consists of, selected work done over the course of 4 years.

The projects vary in terms of their scale, user engagement and concepts.

Since Urban Design situates itself very delicately between the realms of the planned and the designed, it is through my processes and methodology of these projects that I’ve tried to justify its complexity.

Hope you enjoy my work.

Thank you for your time and attention!

The studio pivots on the link between city, food and productive landscapes. Today, as large numbers of people live in cities depending on the supply of food and other resources from far away areas, the link is invariably extensive and invisible. Further, the needs and lifestyles of our growing cities put enormous stress on environmental systems and natural cycles and these challenges are accelerated with climate change. There has been a growing interest today in this topic in different cities and studios across the world on how to re-think urban areas from the lens of ecology and how to materialise ideas into practical application.

The idea at the XL scale is to give new programs along the river and to create a network that not only weaves the landscape but is also a cycling and pedestrian network for people to traverse through these different landscapes.The map serves as a cartography of the current site conditions, its hydrology, and various activities happening on the site, along with the proposed programs. The parcels are developed to continuously stitch the place into a network of different kinds of landscapes like forests, villages, composting sites, landfills, parks, etc, while essentially providing over 30kms of natural trails around the city.

Designing Water Infrastructure for Civic Expression’’

02 :‘‘Water Water Everywhere’’

Changing how we see and perceive water infrastructure and imagining new ways to engage

Re-scale, join and play The speculation attempts to propose a completely radical and new system of water infrastructure.

Each component of the infrastructure is rescaled, rearranged, and reimagined to have a different kind of engagement with it. The very aspect of how it treats water versus how water treats it is questioned as a part of this process. All of this has been done through critically examining each components’ usage, placement, and scale. It aims at viewing water as a context and not just a resource, hence bringing it in the foreground. With the presence of new imagined opportunities, the end-user is also an integral part of this ensemble. The speculation is envisioned to contrast itself against the monotonous backdrop color of the current water infrastructure.

The project aims at mapping and speculating on the premise of where and how does the ensemble of water infrastructure situate itself in the context established previously. This has been done by looking through all the places in the infrastructure where water is found; seen and unseen. Thus essentially asking the question where is water and speculating a change in perception, complexity, and experience of it.

Dissemble Ensemble Townships and gated communities that frequent our developing cities today are envisioned to maintain beauty and aesthetics through their existence.

This notional onus has resulted in a typical kind of infrastructure and its experience in such societies.

A great deal of money, management, and efforts is put to receive and meet the needs through these services.

An effort has been made to linearly layout all the infrastructure involved to bring out its complexity, scale, and arrangement as mapped. A sub-motive of the project aims at conscientizing the residents about water infrastructure in its basic arrangement.

With retractable pipes breaking the orthogonality and connecting to a central core with the hydropneumatic pump, they will be able to reach the location with the required pressure of water.

The Overhead tank and the shower have been scaled up to become the Pool tank giving a new experience altogether. As a replacement to its storage function, a hovering balloon is imagined.

An observatory is situated underground which shall take people into the core of the process of water extraction. And in this manner, day to day activities engage with the new infrastructures and situations.

03: ‘‘(Re)Claimed’’ ‘What if?’: Alternative systems and worlds.

The project ‘Re-claimed' is a proposition for a speculative vision that embraces a decentralized, mobilized, and independent toolkit of infrastructure using the key strategy of working within and reviving natural water landscapes to add moments of amplified activity. Thus primarily being a re-imagination of infrastructures relating to water supply, management, and engagement for wards like Sarkhej which bear the brunt of biases and disparities. These disparities reflect though centralized drinking water systems that serve millions of households around the world, these systems do not reach the poorest, most remote, or vulnerable populations at all, as a consequence of which what is often experienced is extensive exploitation by private suppliers or groundwater.

Taxonomy of Interventions: Deployments at different scales with 3 specific functions

The re-envisioned plan for supply shows the sites that were thus chosen to be the lakes and the spine in the ward which is currently either built upon or nothing more than a waste dumping site. The plan utilizes these as a resource for water use and management to provide a path for sustainable growth and an example for other cities. The interventions are sited in traditionally underutilized urban spaces to revive them and create zones of social, cultural exchange. The plan is also a provocation to draw our supply grids differently along with additional infrastructure for the people.

Deriving Spatial, Intangible Associations through Mapping

Living Heritage

04 : ‘‘An Adaptable Af(Fair)’’

Urban villages(gaamtals)in Indian cities undergo transition as the city rapidly grows around them.

The fast-paced transformations that follow would result in disassociation between long-time residents and village, who increasingly relocate to adjacent urban neighborhoods. As they leave, the care for village structures and spaces decreases and physical fabric suffers from decay and lack of maintenance. This is a phenomenon that is common in many gamtals in India, Ambli is one such village, located on the western periphery of Ahmedabad, it faces threat of potential loss of identity. How do we then revive the collective identity without altering the associations?

SUB COMMUNITIES: When there is any decision or step taken towards one or many particular communities of Ambli Gam, the highest stakeholding bodies are the residents of Ambli Gam. As a sub-divisional category among the residents, the Patels have a higher stake and decision making power, which is a result of many factors including their higher strength and history in the village. Here too, the AMC holds the highest decision making power since the powers have been transferred from the village panchayat.

COMMON FESTIVALS: For the scale of common festivals, the highest stake is that of the residents of Ambli gam. The donors which may or may not be amongst the residents of Ambli gam have the next larger stake, clearly due to them donating for the common festivals. The high donor's stake comes closely after the larger group of donors. When it comes to decision making, AMC as a regulating and governing body has the highest powers which are vested in the appointed Corporator and Talati.

How do we then extract information through an engaging process and analyse and examine it to eventually develop a design, which is for the people, from the people and by the people?

COMMON SPACES: Looking at the stakeholders, their connections and decision making powers at the scale of common spaces in Ambli gam, one can clearly observe that the youth groups, trusts, and donors play the major role. Thus they have the highest stake and decision making power. From sorting formal or informal permissions to fund collection, and general operation of any event or space itself is monitored by them. They are consecutively followed by the Corporator( Vasanti Ben) who has a higher decision power but lesser stake. While the residents have a larger stake but comparatively less decision power.

The design evolves through a collaborative process where the designer becomes a tool for the community. Different experiments and user engagements are used to achieve the feedback required from the community.

Railway Station

The aim of the studio was to make a physical insert that would encourage people to use the public bus system with a clear focus on its design and construction. The students were equipped to develop documentation skills, organize the program in plans, different construction techniques and materials, and to use models as a design tool.

This particular project for its design of the stop adheres to accessibility as its key concept and thus uses several design strategies to accentuate the purpose. The design focuses on balancing the entity of a bus stop between the specific users and the other pedestrians passing-by too, by making it accessible to both. All of this was converged with an attempt of making the unit more experiential.

07 : Competition: ‘‘Sundar Baari’’

A challenge to Design a resilient, sustainable, creative, affordable and implementable home for the people of Sunderbans.

Efforts by: Bhavya T., Srushti R., Kashvi S., Kanisha P.

Bird-eye View of a cluster of homes

The recent Super Cyclone, ‘Amphan’, in May 2020 was one of the most powerful storms that inflicted widespread damage parts of the Sunderbans because of its fragile ecosystem, complex geography and the presence of sizable settlements. Such a natural disaster and related human suffering call for a massive rehabilitation work, to which architecture and design community, perhaps, can respond effectively, by offering appropriate design alternatives. Thus the aim of the competition is to propose design alternatives for a Homestead (bhite-bari in Bengali) for a family in the Sundarbans.
