Siddhesh Anil Gavali. 22/01/2000
I come from small town in India. Growing up with large family of 17 and native cultured environment taught me the importance of community. The love and care I receive from my family is my inspiration to create a safe habitat. So I use architecture as a tool to gather people together, made them feel and express. I work on human scale and make sure human is the protagonist in built environment.
I want to explore more of the world, People and nature through lens of Architecture, to create, live and laugh in a space which will make memories for life.

Existing site
60% private and 40% public
Site has divided into two zones. Private and public space according to function and access to space.
- Private space will be individual housing units only accessible by households which provides safety for personal living.
-Public space is provided on open ground which dosent contain vegetation.
It include farming, garden and community kitchen accessible by all members of the scheme. people can get involved in various activities together in public place which helps for mental health and allow them connect with community.

Connection strategy
Waterway
2m wide abd 2m elevated above ground Sub-routes connects the row of houses with main road
Central Node allows households to navigate to various sub-roads to access their home. It also concentrate the human movement in housing zone.
5m wide Car route and 3m wide pe destrian main road connecting west entrance to north entrance through central node in housing zone.
2.5m wide walking path connecting west entrance to canalside walkway which further connects garden, farm and community kitchen (Public places)
Mixed living
Detached housing units are allocated in such a way to avoid the discrimination of people living in a particular housing type. As there are two types of user group (single parents and partnered families with children where both have different living style. Considering the common factor‘Children’ this can be a way to bring all the groups together with mixed living which helps to create an inclusive community, the community which understand each other problems and joys, bad and good experiences, culture and tradition.
Private access to dwellings
All the dwellings are connected by a single elevated pathway. But to provide the privacy and security to the households every unit have 2m long sub path which allows to access the dwelling only to people living in that house.

Market drama
During the analysis of Wednesbury town in semester one I explored the theme of market being a live theatre based on Jose Martinez Sanchez’s theory in her book Body, Architecture and performative space. The site narrative writing consists the architectural space as a human characters which later developed a story of dramatic relationship between various public spaces in wednesbury based on history and current situations.
To provide the platform for physical and mental expression Performance theatre, writing - sculpting studios are allocated within variety of volumes formed in above pattern.

To increase the public engagement high street has been pedestrianised with addition of public garden and seating.
Building floor plans are inspired from precedent‘University of Lima’in Peru by Grafton architects. Clean interior volumes are achieved by load bearing walls dedicating entire interior to the functions. Push and pulls of facade elements and exposed staircases are characteristics of plans.

CONCEPT - REALITY
Project aims on converting a found object in our daily routine and seeking an inspiration from it to covert it into a functional architectural model.
Its an intresting excercise to visualize the creative outcome from our surrounding elements realizing inspiration is every where, otherwise who would have thought this design was hid den in my shape of my book?

Bringing landscape over roof can give freedom to employees to work outside the office space. Nowadays cities are becoming more and more populated and less space is available for green ery. Suburban natives can enjoy countryside parks within a small time of travel but in the cities people need to travel long hours to visit a nice green space. But bringing the green areas in City centre is quit a task because of less open spaces available. So in the new design we can make a vertical gardens or parks with plenty of seating and direct access from the ground. So new cities will not be called Concrete forests.
This way both work and leisure purpose can be fulfilled. Also people working in this buildings can take some time off during their stress hours, come outside and enjoy the beautiful scene than a stressful indoor activities. Which can help to boost the work stamina and freshen the mind.
Design for urban Greenery
Design follows the concept of folds of the pages like in model. Which i made the focus of the design. So design started from folds rest at the open green space for public on the top of roof in steps manner.
During the process I observed the Zaha hadid’s parametric style. The fluidity and futuristic representation through the design with homogeneous curves was aprecedent for me. The design ends up as flower petals like shape and metal framed glass facade.
