Mumbai Skywalk Project An Extension of Everyday Life Undergraduate Thesis Guide: Pinkish Shah
The role of infrastructure in nation building is essential and these projects have a very large and long-term effect on not only the economics and mobility of the city, but also on its socio-cultural and environmental fabric. But in practice, these projects are highly insular to their neighbourhoods. The thesis argues that this singular imagination of such projects within the context of a large urban city should be critically revaluated. The thesis attempts to look past this singular imagination of Infrastructure through the lens of the Mumbai Skywalk Project. The Mumbai Skywalk Project was initiated by the MMRDA in 2007 and a total of 36 skywalks have been constructed by various organisations till date. These ‘skywalks’ connect railway stations to nearby important transportation nodes. The thesis acknowledges the existence of these projects within their respective neighbourhoods and consciously attempts to carefully analyse these existing artefacts within their respective neighbourhoods and provide alternative imaginations of these projects. Rather than proposing a new system for the project, the thesis works with the existing Skywalks and works towards their re-integration within their neighbourhoods such that these projects work towards the generation of multi-level urban public space within the neighbourhood and provide alternatives to this singular imagination in the role of Infrastructure and the city.
Right: Exploded Axonometric of the Proposed Design at the Borivali (W) skywalk
“The skywalk’s columns create a nuisance for vehicular movement and impedes it.” says the traffic police stationed at the booth.
The skywalk’s several columns on the wide sidewalk provide liveable spaces for the Naik family.
The project attempts to understad the typology of the skywalk and looks at the relatioship within and underneath these elevated transportation infrastructure systems with everyday life. This is documented through a matrix and several axonometrics talking about the relationship of the skywalk to the built environment and its interaction with everyday life.
There is an acute shortage of direct sunlight into the house due to the proximity of the skywalk. Tubelights need to be switched on even in at noon.
Pramod Bhai uses the skywalk for jogging during off peak hours in the morning.
Top: Axonometric views of several skywalks across the city looking at how everyday life interacts with skywalks Left: Matrix of typologies of all skywalks in MMR region Bottom: Masterplan for Borivali (W) skywalk
The skywalk at Borivali (W) is chosen as the urban intervention. This skywalk due to its rich context , use and relationship to the railway station. The project attempts to create a multilevel urban realm to allow for not only increased interaction of the skywalk with the ground plane but also create a socio-cultural realm along its lenght as a means to diversify the singular imagination of the skywalk. To do this, a part of the road is pedestrianised and mezanine level are created to allow for interactions at multiple levels across the skywalk. A part of the redestrain road is pervious and acts as a bio-swale to allow for water to percolate into the ground. The skywalk opens into an amphitheatre which acts as a focal point of the skywalk at the commercial core of the site. On the other side, the existing pedestrain subway is expanded to create an amphitheatre which responds to the extended plinth of the railway station to create social spaces at the railway station edge. A steel parasol is used as a visual edge to the project which allows for landscape to hang onto. At the skywalk level, the skywalk extends into nearby commercial buildings to create a multi level urban plaza.

Multiple staircases are placed across the project and each staircase due to its individual identity through form and color create a local identity which along with the vertical landscape mesh creates a unique space at each instance. The project at the upper levels is occupied by retail modules. These modules are designed to be interactive. The modules allow for several different sorts of retail activities within them and can be also occupied by multiple retail vendors at the same time. It allows for movement through and across it and activates all of its sides. The module when not in use can be closed to reduce its footprint

and allow for more space at the upper levels. The modules are accompanied by seating spaces designed as well. Multiple different types of seating are designed based on their position of the skywalk.
(De)Coding / (Re)Coding Architecture
A Precast fabricated module construction system is used where all residential modules are bolted onto the structural system of the building.
Semester 9 Bridge Design Studio
Collaborators: Krishna Parmar, Sakshi Kajave, Rutuja Vartak, Vedvrat Kelkar Guide: Sameep Padora, Vami Koticha, Sakshi Ghulati
The studio looked at understanding the form of housing developments in Mumbai through the lens of the Devevlopment Control Regulations. This was studied through the lens of BDD Chawl Worli. Understanding the current DCR and the reulstant formal nature of built space was studied and then multiple stakeholders were identified (BMC, MHADA, Private Developer, Citizens, Activists) and the project was imagined throug hthe lens of these stakeholder priorities. Negotiations were simulated between stakeholders for each stakeholer proposal to understand how each stakeholder responds to each others demands.
4 seperate modules are designed which can be attached onto the existing structure. These modules can be attached anywhere along the building based on the preferences of the residents. The offsets between all units should not be considered in FSI calculation as they are not habitable spaces. TYPE 1 - Rehab Unit - 46.5 sqm TYPE 2 - EWS Unit - 24 sqm TYPE 3 - MIG Unit - 66 sqm TYPE 4 - HIG Unit - 93.5 sqm Recreational Open space

The building is designed such that it can accomodate additional units after consuming all FSI on site such that if MHADA needs to increase the number of tenants on site, it can be easily done.
Housing modules are lifted into place by a moving crane on the top.
A large open space is provided which during construction will function as a prefabricated module manufacturing shed and later be public space with amenities as given in the DCR
A seperate Commercial office space block is provided on site to maximise its capital value. This block also has a direct connection to the proposed underground metro station.
The proposed metro station of Worli of Metro line 3 has been realigned
Up: Axonometric view of proposal for the Private Developer
Demand The design of the project should be done in such a way that it can be constructed using prefabrication construction methods to reduce costs through economies of scale. It will increase the pace of the project and allow for faster project completion.
Key Plan
BMC shall not allow the buildings to go highrise as this technique is unfamiliar in mumbai, and in case of fire the prefab construction dont work as an integrated structural unit
A
A 45m high central greenway is proposed o which cuts through all buildings which acts as a spine which also has retail spaces abutting i greenway is also directly connected to the pro metro station
The feasibility of this construction depends on the transportation costs and challenges as the size and nature of the prefabricated units will be limited by the kind of transportation. Also, tenants will only be able to occupy units after the completion of the project as opposed to in-situ construction. The design of the unit and aesthetics should not be compromised because of limitations and reductions in costs as the scale of the project is large and it will serve as an image for the city as a whole.

Master Section
Understanding the formal priorities of each stakeholer eventually led to a concensus proposal after several negotiations between all stakeholders. The concensus proposal is a compromise between all stakeholders for the creation of a built space. Through the concensus proposal, changes to the DCR were also proposed which would make the built form more ideal for all stakeholders on site based on their negotiations. The project did not attempt to create strong architectural design but rather attempted to understand the larger stakeholder negotiations that dictate the formation of our built environment.

Revitalising the Importance of Golconda Fort Urban Design - 7
Collaborators: Kashish Singh, Mishti Shah, Jinal Shah, Savlee Tikle, Shrusti Shah, Vedvrat Kelkar Guides: Sonal Sundarajan, George Jacob, Samarth Das
The studio looked at the city of Hyderabad and the precinct of the Golconda fort was chosen as a site for a master plan as a means to allow the precinct to be an important foci for the city again. The master plan while studying the precint also looked at the the fort wall surrounding the precinct which is a 6.5km long path that surrounds the precinct which was largely unused and to re-appropriate the fort wall as an important piece of infrastructure of the modern day.
This region was developed further for the studio
Reviving Bodli Gate Architectural Design - 7
Collaborators: Kashish Singh Guides: Sonal Sundarajan
The project looks at creating a relationship between the fort wall and the ground. A new road is proposed is proposed to pass through the now defunct Bodli Gate. Programtically, the cultural functions of the site as proposed here as the community edge of the fortwall. The project is imagined as a connection of the ground with the Fortwall and allows people to have a varied relationship with the Fortwall and the Moat. The project is wrapped around a large central plaza which forms an amphitheatre to interact with the Moat and Bastion of the Fortwall. The roof of the project gradually rises up from the Central Plaza and reaches the Fortwall. This roof is punctured at several instances to let in natural light into the spaces within the project.

Reclaiming the Water’s Edge Architectural Design - 6 Guide: Mayuri Sisodia
The studio looked at the Institutions of Faith in the Landscapes of Braj. The site is located beside Vishram Ghat on the banks of Yamuna in Mathura. The project looks at re-igniting the relation between the Yamuna river and the River edge. The project looks at the unmediated interface between people and the river where interactions that might not happen at religious ghats can easily happen. The river edge is modified to allow for increased interaction with the river. Stormwater upwards from the site is taken in and treated to remove large debris from the water and introduce it in the river. The project occupies a minimal footprint on site to ensure maximum space is opened up for the public with the central void used for stormwater treatment. A stepped ghat is created on the river edge on one side and a sunken amphitheatre is created on the other side. This alongside the balconies at multiple levels on the project allows for interaction with the river in multiple ways. Through its architectural languange, the project tries to reclaim space for personal interactions with the river.

Study Trip: Braj
3rd year class documentation Collaborators: Shalaka Joshi, Charvi Parakh Guides: Rohan Shivkumar Shirish Joshi
The Third Year Study Trip looked at the documentation of the landscape of Braj in and around the cities of Mathura,Vrindavan,Gokul and Govardhan. This documentation deviated from the cartesian method of documentation through plans, sections and elevations as those drawings tend to only focus on the architectural form and does not look at it’s cultural aspects. Thus inspirations were taken from Mughal miniature paintings and how they flattened and unfolded spaces around each other.
The Exibition has been featured at CEPT in Summer 2019 and Kalakriti Comtemporary Art Gallery in Hyderabad.

Shiv Taal
It is a 300-year-old ‘kund’ constructed exclusively with sandstone is situated in a relatively isolated locality of Mathura. It as an Akhada on one side and is flanked by railway lines on opposite sides.This isolation creates an atmosphere of solitude.Just like the water of the Kund, the space seems to be frozen in time.Legend states that Shiva was intruiged by Krishna and descended down into this Kund and transformed into a woman by taking a dip in it, enabling him to participate in Krishna’s ‘Rasleela’
A narrow lane on the side leads to a bustling ‘akhada’ where men practice ‘kushti’ and consume ‘bhang’ post practice.
As per legends, when Mughals raided the land, a ‘shivlinga’ in the ground was broken by Aurangzeb.
The water is stagnant and covered with green algae which depicts the lack of ecology and rising levels of pollution. The water level has receded over time.
One of the temples located just outside Shiv Taal is a Krishna mandir. It started as a stone idol which was developed into a tiny temple.

Smart Cities and Heritage
Student Exchange KRVIA, ENSAS Strausbourg, KIIT Karlsruhe Exchange 2019 Guide: Sebastian Perraul, Shraddha Sejpal Collaborators: Leonie Goertz
The student exchange worked at the idea of a ‘Smart City’ in the context of the heritage of Chandigarh. Sector 56 is a new development aimed at housing the city’s poor. The sector was planned by the Chandigarh Housing Development Board and is planned in a careful manner to allow for the presence of social spaces of several scales in the neighbourhood. The study aimed at analysing the existing fabric of this neighbourhood and to give recommendations that can be implimented under the ‘Smart City Mission’ in Chandigarh. Since there are large families living in each apartment or house, recommendations to expand the space of the home into these open public spaces were given.

Since there is lack of space in each apartment with ever expanding families, the space of the corridor has become the extended living spaces for each house. A proposal for expanding this living space into the open space in front of each apartment block as a temporary pavillion was given. These spaces are not used efficiently and creating temporary pavillions can extend the boundaries of the home and allow these spaces to be used well.

Guide: Ali Baldiwala, Hussain Indorewala, Apurva Parikh Collaborators:Naitik Gala, Yashvi Gala,Asmita Patniak, Rashi Dave, Saivi Shah, Savlee Tikle
The project was about building a multi-functional funrniture out of a given quantity of wood that was provided. The design looked at a compact piece which could expand volumetrically to reveal spaces within. The design also looked at the sectional nature of a wooden log and how to optimise the utilisation of wood. It evolved to be a furniture piece that catered to all age groups of people. The furniture looked at creating seating and standing spaces along with some storage spaces and a small desk for kids.

Youth Hostel in Patiala Architectural Design - 4 Guide: Ekta Idnany
The studio looked at housing typologies by means of documentaing several houses and a fort in the City of Patiala. This then led to a selection of site based on ht edocumentation and thus looking at a housing typology. The site looked at a Youth Hostel in a very densly packed site which is surrounded by a market and a bustling road on all isdes. The project started by documenting our undersanding of patiala by the means of narrative strips which helped us look into some aspets of the city.
Left: Axonometric showing the delayering of current site conditions. The market and roads wrap around the site while the site is on a plinth which distances itself from the public life of the street.
Top to Bottom: Various iterations were made to understand how to make the site more accessible to the public and create an important thoroughfare which connects all 3 junctions around the site.
Left: Various volumetric iterations were made where the built form responds to the 3 juntions and the tank and dargah on site.
Right: Final model shwoing how the built form seemlessly merges the site and allows easy access within. And Parks are also introduced on site to increase public throughfare through site.

Allied Design - 4 2nd year
Collaborators: Kashish Shah Guides: George Jacob, Mansi Bhatt
The studio was divided into 2 parts. First it looked at self replicating modules and the different configurations that they could form. And the second part looked at using those modules to create spaces by interpreting a painting.
Left: An individual module which is selfrepeating in nature. Right: Development of module into a 5x5x5cm.
Bottom: Arranging the modules in different configurations.

Material and Structural Exploration
Various kinds of different materials were explored during the course in Concrete, Bamboo, rammed Earth and also looks at understanding structural prinnciples through model making.
Left to Right: Formwork for the model with braces put wherever necessary. After pouring, the comcrete is left to set for 2 days. The final model after removing the formwork.
Semester 4 Patiala Fort Wall Model Part of the Patiala Measure Drawing Exibition. Making the brick
Left to Right: Fine sieved soil, Rice husk and sand were mixed in a ratio of 6:3:1 and kneaded toghether with water. The mixture was sized and placed in a mold of a 10x10x10 cm brick. About 4000 bricks were made in the studio over the course of 2 weeks. The bricks are left in the open for 1-2 weeks to be sun-dried.
