LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TYPE 1 HOUSING (For students + Families) - 1BHK & 2BHK -100 units

SUSTAINABLE STOCKPORT MLA- Sem 2

TYPE 2 HOUSING (Social housing) - 2BHK -100 units

In this project brief, our task was to develop a comprehensive master plan for the Stockport community, with a particular emphasis on housing. The chosen site presented challenges, featuring sloping terrain, suboptimal access points, and an underutilized river. To address these issues, I devised a series of strategic approaches:

LEGEND 1- WOODLAND 2- EVENT SPACE

Community Interaction Hub: A key strategy was to establish a central area for community engagement.

River Rejuvenation: Recognizing the potential of the redundant river, I designed spaces to enhance its connection with the community.

Improved Access: The master plan prioritized creating easily accessible and well-defined entry points to the site.

Biodiversity enhancement: I strategically integrated green zones into the site which would harmoniously coexist with the existing flora, providing space for well-being gardens, pollinatorfriendly gardens, wildflower meadows, and more.

CATHERINE DEE - CONCEPT Based on the book by Catherine Dee, threshold, foci and pathways can be designed to elevate the landscape. Some conceptual ideas representing the same have been illustrated here.

The design needs to have seatings with the planter with grasses. The slope around the river is terraced with herbaceous perrenial and grasses to engage with the passerby.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE 75 DALE STREET - COMMUNITY PARK MLA- Sem 1

The project's objective was to develop a community park tailored to meet the diverse needs of the 42nd Street community, a group dedicated to supporting and enhancing the emotional and mental well-being of young people. This envisioned space encompasses various essential features, such as designated gathering areas, discussion zones, creative outlets like art studios and cooking facilities, as well as a stage for hosting concerts.

The aim was to foster inclusivity for the youth associated with this organization. Central to this vision was the strategic integration of previously unused spaces with the adjacent canal and its surroundings. To guide visitors on their journey through the park, a thoughtful arrangement of woodlands and grasslands was implemented, creating a visually engaging frame.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE MSA LIVE_WELLNESS GARDEN MLA- Sem 2

In this year's MSA live edition, we forged a partnership with PROFORMA and LondSight Art Space to introduce a unique project: the creation of a well-being garden within Crowcroft Park. Our design journey began with the formulation of a conceptual garden proposal, and it culminated in the development of an exhibition poster that graced the walls of the art gallery.

In the poster, I visually connected the three access points by featuring a central space that serves as a focal point for showcasing the captivating mosaic flooring, a unique creation by the gallery. I introduced a meandering pathway that gracefully winds its way through the garden along which strategically placed seating areas were thoughtfully designed to provide opportunities for relaxation and contemplation.

The primary objective was to craft an engaging and visually captivating journey for passersby, transforming the garden into a place of intrigue and serenity.

The site developed in a such a way that a large chunk of the museum gets hide underground. Therefore, some part of the site is dug out. Then the axes are defined on the ground as well as the first floor and courtyards are placed such that they are visually directed towards the Gol Gumbaz which is the main THESISINTERPRETATION CENTRE highlight of the project. Water features is added 5th year Architecture on the ground floor along the pavilion. Finally the first floor is added in a staggered manner to enclose courtyard spaces.

The overarching which is further put together to form courtyard goal of this project is to serve as a bridge between the seemingly conflicting ideologies spaces which act as spill out areas. of nihilism and nostalgia, which contemporary society grapples with fervently.

The building is made of Steel frame structure with basalt cladding. Steel is us it is light weight and does not require deep foundation. Use of basalt is sym as it is historically used in the monuments and also because its is a locally avai material with great thermal properties.

GROUND FLOOR PLAN

Central to this endeavor is a focus on the historical narrative of the Deccan Sultanate. Consequently, the choice of Bijapur, a city in southern India, is deliberate, as it boasts a rich Islamic history, serving as an ideal canvas for this exploration and reconnection with the past.

COMPETITION TREE HOUSE

In this modern era the environment is exploited recklessly for construction leading to the global rise of natural disasters. The solution for conserving ecology can be learnt from the tribe of Monpa in the northeast of India whose lifestyle clearly speaks of conserving and protecting natural habitat.

This treehouse design aims to pave the way for a futuristic design solution that merges with nature in order to conserve the existing habitat as seen in the elevations and massing.
