ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTS

THIRD YEAR

Vasai fort

It was a study about periphery of Bombay and

observation of urban changes within it. Study was
analyzing history of Vasai fort with respect to present
conditions. Programme is arrived through study of
various aspects of site. My programme of community
centre came through study of Vasai village which is
outside the fort.
CONCEPT

Breaking physical barrier i.e. wall between fort and

village by creating community centre. The façade of
building represents traced activities in it.activities those
have been stopped in doing inside the fort to avoid it
from getting destroyed. Where it actually does not
serve purpose.

FOURTH YEAR

Railway interface at Bhayandar station

It was a study about various institutes in north Bombay.

Present condition of these outskirts of bombay has
been studied. Lack of the institutes and various
recreational spaces have been found out through study
of site by interviewing people, documentaries.

CONCEPT

Studying the movement pattern at these transitional

places. Hierarchies of all different activities were
experienced through project. Level differences have
been traced out to understand various spaces at
railway station which is crowded space.

THEISIS
Synopsis
Historically, the public spaces of cities have been
centers of diversity. Even when housing was segregated along
class or ethnic lines, public spaces were where people from all
kinds of different backgrounds were exposed to each other.
City streets, parks, and public transportation were melting
pots of cultural differences, places where one would encounter
people who dressed and spoke differently, hear people
expressing opinions that one would never hear amongst their
"peers", see people engaged in activities one had never seen
before. The diversity that people were exposed to in these
public spaces was eye-opening, and led them to new ideas
and to see beyond their insular world.
Spiro Kistof defines pre-automobile cities as places
where a certain energized crowding of people took place.
Historical cities provided intense and active meeting places
for commerce, the exchange of ideas, worship and recreation
and formal and informal public gathering.
Diversity of public spaces exist in the metropolis of which
have uncertain functions, some defined by human behavior,
some are open to all types of possible behavior and uses,
another type remains closed to human behavior primarily
because access to these spaces are denied or that their
boundaries are hard to define, and therefore, remains
obscure, in this case the involvement of human behavior or of
another space will produce new space or spatial behavior.
Transit stations, parking lots and streets are the most
used public spaces in the city, yet they are primarily designed
only for efficiency. An urban theorist Manual Castells has
described, the contemporary city exists as networks of
information exchange and physical and virtual movement and
flow.
This suggests that the mobility spaces of city are the most
vital elements of the contemporary public realm. Based on
this research, this project explores four strategies that
facilitate public (mobility) space:-
(a) weaving movement with infrastructure
(b)juxtaposing movement with programmes
(c) circuiting movement and space
(d)connecting internal and external movement to site
conditions
This prime space in the city has slipped out of the perception
of most citizens as a potential public space.

Explore potential strategies employed to reweave this space
into urban fabric of Bombay.
1. Networking nodes
Transitional quality
2. Gossip station
Interactive space for group meeting
3. Vogue street
Presence of street makes the site lively and gives it
symbolic character
I am questioning the idea of public space and its
relationship with everyday activities. Seeking to uncover these
hidden spaces in Bombay. Using theoretical framework which
responds to a shift in city research, emphasizing the everyday
life as well as transitional connections in which both local and
city are closely intertwined.
By focusing on the spaces of the everyday, trying to
understand the relationship between activities and the space.
Which are utilized by low income people?
Here am trying to understand the city through places like
transient places and its surrounding area.

Urban Public Spaces: Transitory settings

In this study, I have selected two sites in the city of Bombay
and not in suburbs.
Kandivali station, Jogeshwari station.
Common factors of these transient sites:
1. Location next to public transport
2. Intense level of commercial activities
3. in close proximity to low income group
4. Active and vibrant street life
5. Long distant bus routes
6. Anonymous building character
7. Soft boundaries, making them easily permeable
(accessible) their
Discouraging formation of any strong community.
8. Absence of any planned public spaces.
And my thesis is to design this hybrid space which can be
a space or platform of amalgamation of everyday activities.
Hybrid: - A mixture of two identities having different
backgrounds but based on a similar platform. Its clear
interpretation of a mixed bags of functions put together, and
amalgamated in the most sensitive and comfortable manner.
It is a building in spite of every function, having its own
identity and serving to a certain category of users. It is
 AM

harmoniously lives with the other functions, which have
different set of users. Hybridization of various functions and
programmes.
All the above functions have a common ground.
Architecture is as much about the events that take place
in such spaces as about the spaces themselves. It suffices to
say that the static notion form and function long favored by
architectural discourse need to be replaced by attention to the
actions that occur inside and around buildings- to the
movement of bodies.
Architectural systems that are actual catalysts for every
kind of activity or function, independent of the form they may
take. In such city generators, functions and programs combine
and intersect in an endless deprogramming or cross
programming in hybrid projects the notion of multiple and
heterogeneous programs inevitably substitutes for a
homogeneous and unitary one. However it is montage of
attractions, or programmatic collision, that the importance of
the project resides.
Public space between the static and kinetic city became
the focus of the program. The static city built in permanent
material where architecture is clearly the spectacle is
challenged by the kinetic city where temporal events form the
spectacle of the city. This produces an urbanism that is
challenged with duality where disparate worlds co-habit the
same space.
