Brief
The project started with a comparative research
on the urban form and urban systems of Singapore
and Shanghai with emphasis on metropolitan
scale, downtown district scale, and river corridor/
waterfront scale.
A master plan for the site in Singapore includes a
clearly stated vision ; set of urban design principles;
framework plan; 3-D urban morphology model;
the urban systems and performance, urban design
code that described spatial/building /landscape
and infrastructural typologies and character; and
public realm was developed as an understanding
and result of the research. The main ideas for
the new development were categorised in four
categories of Site, Infrastructure as an Amenity,
Sculpted Urban Fabric and Natural Systems.
The strategies under Site looked into the
reorganising of site in a way to create more
waterfront, to restore erased narratives in form
of historic coastline and to provide oportunity to
generate energy in a renewable way by channeling
and using oceanic currents for electricity through
the shapes of proposed islands.
The strategies under Infrastructure included
ways to provide better living by allowing easy
access to green area and blue areas and by
provding transit connections to the Buisness
District nearby. Under the Sculpted Fabric
strategies included ways to provide views and
visual connections to green area and blue areas,
with each building having access to both and
generating sense of community by having all
residential units located withing waling distance
of the community areas. Strategies under Natural
systems incorporated idea of having a new mode
of transport via water, generating clean water on
site from sea water by of tidal flooding at high
tide and use of climate responsive Architecture.

Infrastructure as Amenity
Brief
This design explored approaches to the
urbanistic project and various factors
unique to site like underlying structures,
scales, relationships, and spatial and
programmatic potentials and allowed
me to design and understand the
complexities related to metropolitan
landscapes and the inter-related issues of
sustainability, human use patterns, and
various urban and natural systems.
St. Louis is a city in decline. with
major industeries leaving the city,
areas like industrial park on grand has
been deserted. This provides a good
oppurtunity to develop the abandoned
areas into developments that will support
the still flourishing sector of medicine and
botonical studies. As the site lies between
the divided campus of St. Louis university,
the development will become a prototype
for various other areas in the city which
have similar urban conditions.
The ideas for the masterplan was of
creating a Transit oriented development
while generating a dynamic community
through the help of diverse mixed urban
use and high density. As the site has been
under the effect of various industrial
pollutants, it became a necessary
requirement to do a site remedation
which also allowed for an opportunity to
develop a greenway that connects the
two sides through pedestrian walkways
and also provide for activity areas on local
scale as well as on regional scale.

Brief
St. Louis has lost almost half of its population and
many industries over the last 5 decades. This has
impacted the downtown. The famous Gateway
Arch now stands among buildings which have
been abandoned.
When the busch stadium was rebuilt, the old
parcel next to the stadium became available for
development. This is an opportunity to develop
the parcel and bring back people to the downtown
and make it a vibrant place once again.
As a one day design exercise, Ball Park Village
project was a design idea presentation for the
empty parcels next to Busch stadium in downtown
St. Louis. Most of the work was done by hand and
later translated into digital format later.
The idea and strategies were governed by the
importance of iconic buildings like the stadium
and Arch in the neighbourhood and were based
on the assumption that they will be catalyst or a
pull factor, once a nice neighboorhood is designed
and built in the downtown.
The site level strategies incorporated ideas of cross
connections, Street Heirarchy, Pedestrian friendly
environment, setting up public space heirarchy
and use of Urban form typologies to incorporate a
sense of safety and and a dynamic neighborhood
through mixed use development as compared to
single use urban typology that exists at present.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
Design Brief
Chandni Chowk is the main street of
shahjahanabad, the old city of delhi
made by mughal emperor shah jahan
in 1600. Over the years the city and the
road has changed from a mixed use
development to commercial use with
few residential buildings. Ministry of
Science and Technology in partnership
with Muncipal Corporation of Delhi
started the project to redevelop the
historic street with objectives to create
pedestrian
friendly
environment,
conserving heritage and starting an
outreach programme focusing on
capacity building for heritage of
shahjahanabad. This 1.3km stretch
was the pilot project for the whole
area, and included understanding of
service areas for commercial activity
and development of the commercial
sector along with increase in residential
component of the area. This area is rich
in terms of heritage, with many national
heritage monuments and centers of
religious importance located in the
vicinity.

The perception of builing from the city and vice versa is such as to symbolize the connection between the City people and the Government choosen by
them. Building with no specific side or corner symbolizes the idea of equality and connects with its immediate surroundings and context on all sides
The module is taken and a pattern formed to create an interactive network.. The intent is not to lead to a monotonous arrangement but increate identity
and variety, choice and spatial richness, yet through the use of a repetitive mass-produced system.

Community Voids
The degree of individual and community identity varies from culture to culture. In India, the sense of community spaces CONCEPT is not strong
and such spaces end up being piled with garbage or turn into large, barren open spaces which fail to link up the housing units. To inculcate a
sense of community identity, it becomes important to privatize the community greens into smaller community spaces with 6-8 units per floor
owning it. The people who use the space are able to relate to the scale and develop a sense of responsibility as a collective group.
The shape and the general appearance of a cluster must make it stand out as an easily identifiable entity, so that it can become the personalized
property of the families that live there.
Need for identity in the dwelling appears to be a basic human need. The form of the housing is punctuated with community voids which form
the hub of every cluster and provide an essential outdoor space which can also be used for community gatherings. These punctures in the
housing mass also create a rich visual experience.

THE VOIDS PUNCTURE THE MASS OF THE HOUSING,LETTING IN SUNLIGHT DURING WINTERS
The sun doesnt stand still, it goes round in an arc, changes every moment of the day, and from one day to next. If we were to make arrangement of houses that took this fact into consideration, then through
response to the function, one would arrive at the most complex and visual arrangement in space .
