DESIGN DISSERTATION
RE-WASTE THE RECYCLING LOOP
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Over the last decade, there has been a significant increase in the amount of garbage that the population creates all over the world.
We are now witnessing the same products that we produce to maintain ourselves and help us survive viciously killing our environment and everything in it.
Waste management is described as the activities and actions required to handle waste from its inception to final disposal.
The process involves garbage collection, treatment, and placement, as well as monitoring and regulation of its flow.
Waste management becomes a topic for this paper, which is set in the setting of India. It reviews current methods for dealing with remote areas and recommends an architecture inquiry based on a costeffective and mobile solution
Location – Dronagiri,Uran, navi mumbai
Site Area – 65,930sqm
Land use – Industrial
The site has great connectivity to Navi Mumbai. It is surrounded by JNPT port and is in close vicinity to Navi Mumbai International Airport.
The topography of the site is overall plain with some gradual slope.There is no water logging issue seen on site. The zone is characterized by loose soil with low bearing capacity and black stiff clay.
Construction work could, therefore, require pile foundation.
The site is enclosed by the boundary wall on 3 sides the context of site is -
West side: warehousing / industrial land
East side : bhendkhal village
North side : jnpt - khopte road
South side : continental cfs warehouse
S1. improving solid waste management in india.
2. reducing number of random dump sites.
3.rejuvenating the life of waste
W1. lack of acceptance by community.
2. the nature of soil is clay loamy .
O1. provide job opportunities.
2. reducing cost of transportation of waste.
3.raising community awareness.

BEIRUT PORT PUBLIC RECLAMATIN OF
WATERFRONT
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
On August 4, 2020, at 18:08:18 EEST, Beirut witnessed one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history, with an estimated force equivalent to a 3.5-magnitude earthquake. The catastrophic event was fueled by the detonation of 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate improperly stored in warehouse 12 at the port.
The explosion resulted in unprecedented destruction:
- Severe damage to the surrounding infrastructure, displacing thousands and crippling Beirut’s economy.
- The port, once a critical hub for Middle Eastern trade and a vital lifeline for Lebanon’s economy, was left inoperable, cutting off essential supply chains and international trade routes.
Given the port’s historical significance and its role as a connector of continents, its revival is essential to Lebanon’s economic recovery. The proposed redevelopment aims to address both functional and safety concerns while integrating modern infrastructure. The port authority’s guidelines outline a vision for transforming the damaged port into a secure, efficient, and sustainable trade hub, incorporating:
- Modernized facilities to ensure the safe handling of goods and compliance with international standards.
- Safety protocols and hazard management to prevent future catastrophes, including secure storage for hazardous materials.
- Integration of green technologies for energy efficiency and sustainability.
- Community-oriented spaces, recognizing the port’s cultural and economic role in Beirut’s urban fabric.

The airport is being constructed as a greenfield project by the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) and is being developed in three phases.
- The first phase, once completed, will have the capacity to handle 25 million passengers per annum (MPPA).
- By the third phase, which is expected to be completed by 2032, the airport will be expanded to accommodate over 90 million passengers and handle 2.5 million tonnes of cargo per year.
Our firm has been actively involved in the project as landscape consultants, delivering comprehensive landscaping solutions for the development. Our role includes ensuring that the airport’s exterior spaces integrate seamlessly with the architectural design, enhance the passenger experience, and reflect sustainable and aesthetic landscaping practices that align with the global standards of airport design. This project is expected to be a transformative addition to the region, driving both economic growth and connectivity.
