Buford Highway is a popular cultural corridor running through three Atlanta suburban cities. The area contains over 150 independently-owned, minority operated food businesses that employ over 1100 people. However, most businesses lack the infrastructure to retain its popularity and are slowly loosing their businesses.
The intent was to design an easily replicable, editable and affordable toolkits that businesses can adapt to enhance using simple tactical urbanism techniques tied together with a concept of enhance the existing infrastructure, connecting different businesses with the infrastructure and provide safe buffers to and fro through MARTA to the different businesses.

Liveable Centers Initative (LCI) is a grant program by Atlanta Regional Community which incentivizes envisioning of vibrant, walkable communities with increased mobility options. The proposal was curated for the City of Grantville as a part of the LCI program.
Grantville (in Coweta county) is small town with a population of 3000 people, occasionally recognised as a ‘post-apocalyptic’ filming location. The process involved rigorous community engagement workshops for design input resulting into a number of short range and long range development ideas for the city of Grantville.

Deptford Creek, in the southeast London, between the boroughs of Greenwich and Lewisham, represents an important but often overlooked part of London’s character – the industrial side of city - a grungy, creative, workingclass side that is just as integral to the city. This Industrial character and its history along the river was revisited for this former hub of innovation and production resulting in a number of people, production and sustainability-oriented strategies to truly recapture that vibrant, innovative, and undeniably east-London spirit.

There are several important arts institutions along the left bank of the creek. The Barge manufactory connects many such institutions and old warehouses, becoming almost like a missing tooth in what could potentially become a small arts district.
This area houses some large warehouses in relatively good condition, which were repurposed to accomodate barge building facilities. These, when they reach their end , can be redeveloped, with the street-side of the property to become a culinary arts institution which partners with the urban greenhouse operations. Students at the culinary school could also find housing here.

Deptford creek may be under threat now – from things like pollution, from cars, and from thoughtless development. But it has a brighter, greener future ahead of it, a future that will recapture that vibrant, innovative, and undeniably east-London spirit.

Canopy grounds enclose various terraces tucked into skyscrapping evergreen tree. These terraces hold mixed used functions embroidered amongst the existing fabric with interesting details of ramps and mobility networks.
The Marsh living is a submersed experience meant to be flooded. The existing industrial seams stretch out from the tiered train tracks, which after sea level impact reminisces past like the ‘Seattle Underground’.
Constructed Wetlands lace these older industrial lands with lively residential communities to curate a different immersive experiences around the boardwalks.
The Boardwalks create a unique slow moving commercial and retail mix-use experience beside aggressive landscape systems.

DRUMLINS - ‘ THE HEART’
Imagined as a rhinestone sewn onto the fabric, the drumlins can be seen as the focus of the Original Olmsted Park ring.
These drumlins bring together the four neighbourhoods together through the vast green lung.
The drumlins are built on a landfill that currently suffers from high levels of toxicity. The landscape from the drumlins aggresively anchors and mitigates toxicity. This also allows the city to reclaim a landmass which otherwise is not employable,

The city of Bharuch has experienced about 2000 years of cultural and infrastructural transition, recorded through the old town and existing literal archives to discover several undocumented paths in history. Despite a strong cultural presence, the city has no identity of its own.
The city evolved along the River Narmada, and laced public spaces network along the river edge, which experience disuse today. The public spaces and the heritage district are on a verge of turning into a necropolis within the acropolis. The research addresses the depleting urban fabric by repurposing and inculcating a thought towards an identity of the city.

Site: India united mills, Mumbai Architecture design studio 6 commemorative program | urban insert | art and performance platform
Software used : ArchiCAD, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, AutoCAD
Initially, the mills in the newly independent India represented a platform to express. beyond obvious economic self-sufficiency. The 8-acre land is today imagined as a statue of Shivaji and a musuem.
The design interpretation analyzes the exclusivity of new proposed program and uses commemoration to imagine a space that truly represents the site context and the people
WHAT ITS GOING TO BE
-- memorial that commemorates the life and work of Shivaji Maharaj
-- supportive functions such as visitor centre buildings, a memorial garden, a library, food court, and convention centre.
The existing site houses several dilapidated structures of the old mill. Due to weak foundation and structural system, any possible reuse can possess a risk to life.
The site is to be cleared to incorporate new functions
The program reminisces the freedom struggle and the conditions thereafter. Naturally, the commemoration is done in two parts. Experiences repeat throughout the structure and renders a feeling of deja-vu to inculcate a thought process.
The first memorial directs the user through a palpable sense of supression and liberation
1. Suppression through the long flight of stairs
2. Hope through the flashes of light near midlanding
3. Liberation through the escape route
4. Repeating and reliving the experience one continues to experience in day to day life depicted emotions of confusion and anxiety.
The second memorial directs the user through a intangible confused period.

Following drawings were originally drafted by author for VastuShilpa Consultants Drawings edited for portfolio by author.
The Raksha Shakti University is a Police-training academy in Lavad, Gujarat.
The project was approached in 3 phases to enable partial usage of services while the remaining project took shape. Owing to its location and vast stretch of the site, the site faced two major issues, sourcing materials and the extreme, arid weather of Lavad.
The extreme weather was approached through several passive sustainable planning techniques (a few illustrated on the right). A part of the passive cooling technique involved accommodation of precast panels.
PreCast is not a common practice in the region, and all the supportive elements for the university were manufactured on-site. These elements were not just the built structure but also a medium for the students to train physically.
