Carbon X App

Planetary urbanization which suggests that operational landscapes in the extended urbanization also need to be considered unlike the present where urbanization is only conceived in terms of agglomerations, a dense concentration of population, etc. has brought attention to the melting of Antarctica.

In response to this and with the belief that “A global issue requires a global action”, the project attempts to create a platform that explores the use of collaborative gaming, metaverse, and capital incentives in an effort to reduce carbon emissions.

I Design Theme - Planetary Urbanisation CONCEIVING THE IDEA OF CARBON X Climate change is a global problem triggered by the carbon interests which are produced by the human race. Most poeple let others take the strain, leaving the global problem unaddressed, making the situation relatable to a “Prisoner ’s Dilemma”. The optimal solution to get out is “Collaboration”. Another thing that climate change has led to is melting of Antarctica, whose weather and climate systems are now known to feed into the systems of the rest of the world.

“Social Media” & “Games” have been popular mediums for collaboration over the past few years, connecting people from all age groups across the world.

To acquaint people with the presence of carbon around people, it addresses and helps them perceive carbon as “Colours of Carbon”.

Antarctica, according to research is also the origin to the discovery of different colours of carbons as they were first found here. With the soul motto being to “Think Local & Act Global”, it is a platform that connects people to rebalance the global carbon cycle. It encourages the cities on a whole to reduce carbon emissions via the platform.

More about the project Revitalizing Jahangirpuri

Proposal tries to inject a new life to Jahangirpuri Industrial Area. The area is a mix of urban typologies varying from industrial, a heavy commercial development (Azadpur Mandi - Asia’s largest wholesale fruit & vegetable market) to residential developments. This complex mix of typologies is currently quite chaotic. Being at a prime location in the city, the area has a lot of potential awaiting to be unleashed so as to improve the quality of urban fabric as well as the inhabiting users. The proposal addresses the above along with the provision of spaces that the people in the vicinity earlier had to travel miles for the purpose of enjoyment.

Railway being a major contributor in transporting people from one place to another faces the challenge of optimizing the defunct land under its blanket. To achieve so and provide world-class facilities to people it is developing its railway stations along with the commercial utilization of land as may be required in connection with the development of railway stations. Egis India won the bid for redeveloping this station and is currently in the execution phase. As a designer and intern, I had the opportunity for providing the overall concept design and visualizations based on basic area requirements provided.

More about the project Ramdulari Park Housing

Communities that encourage participation are more likely to become socially sustainable. Public spaces both inside and outside the housing buildings have the potential for many different activities which the landscape proposal intends to achieve. In an era where the need is to bring land to life and life to land, transitioning from grey to green walls is only possible by landscaping. Following the same principle, the landscape intent is to convert the vertical spaces into vertical gardens where in a small urban site there is a limited scope of providing greens and spaces on the ground for people.

The objective was to merge the landscape with architectural form/ elements & break the massing with tree canopies. The efficiency of horizontal spaces is increased with respect to activities. The intent was to frame far views of the river with the help of a simple, contemporary & naturalistic landscape.

The idea is to create a harmonious & free-spirited ambiance with far views becoming the focus by having a minimalist design approach that adds to the aesthetic value of the architecture.

The primary intent is to work around the concept of plazas.

The two buildings divide the site into three spaces namely Entrance Plaza, Central Plaza & the Western Plaza.

Mounds with seaters are proposed in the Entrance Plaza to block the view of vehicles & provide views that are more internal. The intent of the Central Plaza is to create an interactive, vibrant & dynamic space that is the main central hub for all outdoor activities enriched with the use of art, music, colour, texture, water jets. The major function of the Western Plaza is alfresco dining and the idea is to create a calm, serene & relaxing space having the potential to provide sun, shade, views & fresh air.

More about the project Rama Niwas

According to several traditional beliefs, each house has its own energy type. Once a person starts living in a house, he/ she comes under the influence of a specific energy field. These energies start influencing him/her in some way or the other. This argument may not have many takers in earlier times, but still, for those who believe, it is very important to have homes that exude positive energy. Indian Vastu science has several remedies to ensure that the house remains blessed, without making any structural changes. With the same belief, one of the family plans to build a beautiful and pleasing house named “Rama Niwas” in Bhopal.

Spaces & People are the two entities that define a design. The result of the former defines the result of the latter. Challenge is to attain equilibrium between the two for the success of the latter (design). This symbiosis of spaces & people and their collaboration into a unified whole is what intrigues me and indulges me to look into a design through a variety of lenses, one which I surely aim to pursue.
