Vatsal Waghela
Curriculam Vitae
Hello, I am Vatsal, graduated as an architect from Kamla Raheha Vidhyanidhi for Architecture and Environmental Studies, Mumbai, India. I speak English, Hindi, Gujarati and Marathi. I have been enthusiatic about graphic designing, illustrations, animations, sketches and photography. I am also inclined towards art, sports , cars, movies and games.
I believe power of quality spaces can lead a person to think straight keeping one’s mind clear without any sorts of confusion. The key is in understanding of how to maximise the usage of what is present and to forget about what is absent.I am always inspired by architecture and how architects can shape one’s identity and also bring communities together. I am keen to explore more and learn new things that help me grow as an individual.

ENRICHING CAMPUS LIFE : SEMESTER 10- THESIS
CREATING THIRD SPACES IN VERTICAL SETTING
Narsee Monjee College, Vile Parle
How can educational institutes include third spaces for students within the context of Mumbai’s density?
What innovative spaces could cater to their needs and create a sense of community outside of their academic environment?
Creating inviting, adaptable spaces within educational settings that cater to various activities and preferences, as exemplified by architects like Herman Hertzberger andAldovanEyck.Prioritizingsuchdesignscanenhance student well-being and foster a sense of belonging within educational environments.
Guide - Ainsley Lewis, Jayashree Chandrasekaran
In exploring the dynamics of urban life, the concept of three places — home, workplace, and the communal “third space” — emerges as essential for fostering connections and a sense of belonging (Ray Oldenburg, 1989). These third spaces gain added importance in a thriving city like Mumbai as Georg Simmel’s observations emphasize the challenges posed by dense urban settings. The “blasé attitude” serves as a shield against constant stimuli, illustrating the metropolis’ role in fostering individualization and replacing personal connections with anonymity and economic transactions
The thesis aims to explore the presence of “third spaces” within the milieu of educational institutes in KWest ward of Mumbai city, while also substantiating the need for personal and socially interactive environments that incorporate elements of nature, promoting a sustainable and holistic approach to student life.
The high land prices in Mumbai have led architects and builders to aggressively optimize urban space, resulting in a scarcity of campus space in educational institutions. As a result, students rely on the neighborhood as their “third space” for leisure, social interaction and personal relaxation. The research identifies elements of third spaces both within the institute and in the surrounding context. It argues that these third spaces should not only exist outside the institute but should also be an integral part of the institute itself.
01
There is a noticeable trend among students in creating their own informal “third spaces” outside of educational institutions, typically featuring food stalls but lacking adequate seating. Current institutional designs often overlook these non-programmatic aspects, missing opportunities for student engagement. The absence of student-centric designs is concerning, especially considering the diverse economic and cultural backgrounds of students.
TheeducationalinstitutionsintheKWwardserveasregionaleducationalhubs,clusteringaroundtrustslikeSVKM,USM, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, and SNDT. Students utilize various “third spaces” for recreation, including Juhu Beach, malls, cafes, and gyms. The efficiency and preference for third spaces within or near educational institutes become evident. This interplay between educational institutes and surrounding recreational spaces highlights the importance of thoughtful urban planning in enhancing the overall student experience in the KW ward.

Seven Hills Flyover, Aurangabad
Guide - Shantanu Poredi
The project intends to create a student hub by a central street that meanders through all the public programs and it also creates an informal meeting space which is active at all times providing safety and security. The building is stepped so as to create terraces which increases interaction, cross learning from different levels.

RE - AWAKENING THE LOST IDENTITY SEMESTER 6
Siddharth Vihar Hostel, Dadar
Guide - Rohan Shivkumar
Featured in Newsletter (B.arch May 2022)
The site of Siddharth Vihar Hostel was a centre of Maharashtrian Dalit politics where youths impressed by Ambedkarite politics became active in politics. It was also an important place for victims of caste atrocities to seek justice from the Panthers. Currently, the site is surrounded by informal settlements that are occupied by the Dalit community.
The main intent of the project is to get rooted to the ideologies of Dr. Ambedkar and to withhold the identity of this community. The motive is to challenge the stereotypical assumptions of form and space and to become a place for people to study, read, think and discuss their opinions and issues with each other and to give a platform to express, showcase their capabilities and reach out to the other people and unify amongst themselves.
The structure of the building is pattern less and dynamic which closely relates to the pattern of the settlements. Identity is derived from material and form. Inorder to achieve this, the building will be constructed by combining local material palettes with rich tectonic vocabulary that is borrowed from the informal settlements and modern technology.

ACARA Shortlisted Project- Rookies Competition ( VIT’s PVPCoA) Selected Project for Year End Exhibition
Neigbourhood Documentation of Healthcare centres picking a character and tracing his healthcare needs. Based on this study, the program was identi昀椀ed to be a maternity and pediatric nursing as there were 10 schools and only 2 hospitals catering to them.
The main intent of the project was mainly to preserve the existing raintrees on site and creating building masses in between them to get green courtyards and open spaces.
It also intents on promoting psychological well-being of the women and kids by maintaining an inside outside relationship and creating a playful environment for kids. Just like the branching of raintrees the programs in the building are branched into different zones with each zone having their own open space speci昀椀c to that program.
A public playscape adds value to the overall project and also establishes a relationship with the adjacent jogger’s park. Different nature of landscapes, wooden slat façade, green roof gardens, interior colours and play area, different volumes of spaces are some of the salient features of the building.

The landscape is designed in separate zones keeping in mind the user and the program that it caters to. Since the site is huge, there is a public playscape for all the children in the locality and it also acts as an extension to the day care centre. The landscape will be playful with the help of trees and plants and colourful playing equipment for children. It encourages the children to play and interact with themselves to heal them psychologically which also affects their physical health.

Thus, the design proposal includes water remediation programs like bio swales, bio retention ponds, rainwater collection systems and a multipurpose green fence system which barricades the stream from hazardous waste disposal.
Intermediate programs like Teak Wood Forests for log cutting, Bamboo Plantations and Agricultural knowledge centres increase economic growth and community interaction.

Amidstchallengesofclientdissatisfactionandon-siterestrictions, my role as an intern was to re昀椀ne the facade design and produce General Fabrication Drawings (GFCs) for the project. After numerous iterations, our team settled on a distinctive solution: introducing chamfers crafted from concrete. This selected design not only addressed the client’s concerns but also harmonized with the site’s constraints, marking a signi昀椀cant milestone in the project’s progress.
