YEAR 5 / 2015 /THESIS STUDIO
The shortfall in urban housing
is massive for the Economically
weaker section and Lower
income groups (EWS and LIG;99% shortage), and the current
needs are met by the informal
sector, through Urban villages,
Unauthorized colonies, slums;
creating tremendous pressure on
infrastructure already past its
breaking point.
Recent developments like the
Sardar Vallabhai Urban Housing
mission, Land aquisition act,
In-situ PPP rehabilitation
projects by DDA andRajiv Awas
Yojna, and UTTIPECs intensive
development zones along MRTS
corridors; developmental controls
seem to favour, if not promote,experimentation with high-
density, mixed-use projects
tackling this need-of-the-hour.
Current resettlement schemes
push the poor to the fringes of
the city, away from opportunity
and activity. In their defense,land rates and the market would
never allow LIG+EWS tenements
to survive within the city, like in
cases where the allotee chooses
to rent out, or sell, the house
and moves back to the informal
settlement he/she was a part of.
There is much to learn from the
informal sectors self-organization.
Urban villages, unauthorized
colonies, slum clusters are situated
in prime areas adjacent to job
opportunities (~5km, walking/cycling radius) and the pressures
of housing typically result in high-
density, rental micro-tenements

Multi-modal transitinterchange hub at
Anand Vihar, East Delhi
The brief called for identifying issues with, and subsequently re-
developing the Anand Vihar terminal (ANVT) into a seamless,
integrated experience for the commuter; a betting gateway to Delhi;
and an active public space for East Delhi.

YEAR 5 / 2014 / URBAN DESIGN STUDIO
Situated in East Delhi, the ANVT
complex has four parts:
1 NationalRail: caters to all East-bound trains in and from the city;
2Bus: a major hub for inter-state
and inter-city buses;
3 Rapid regional transit system
(RRTS): connecting small but fast
developing towns;
4Delhi Metro: Nodal interchange
between east-west line (blue) and
circular line (brown).
ANVT acts as a gateway to the city
and a vital modal interchange;
servicing approximately 4,00,000passengers daily.
Most of the surrounding region
was developed as low density
residential and industrial landuse,
buffered from the transit hub by
tracks on the north + north west,
nallahand an arterial road on the
south + south east. These urban
edges create limited interaction.

Potential pockets for development
were identied (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H);
pertinent govt. infrastructuralproposals were adopted. (1,2,3,4,5)
Anand Vihar needs high-density,
rental housing as it faces an acute
housing shortage. Ghaziabad,
which is adjacent to the site, lacks
institutional built as it is mostly
industrial. Thus the development
pockets were assigned new built
use and linkages to integrate with
ANVT and the city.
The ANVT pocket (E) is retained
for high-density commercialdevelopment married to transit
infrastructure, such that the dense
footfall feeds and sustains it.
The Shinjuku complex in Japan
illustrates how the commercial
shapes and forces new movement
patterns onto an existing transit
system; creating a bustling and
active city centre.

Three storeys tall except for the
ofce towers, this large built
structure is punctured by atriumsand does not exceed 30m in depth.
The concourse level, connecting
the transit modes is on the third
level, and extends over the railway
tracks. This level also extends
over the highway via foot over
bridges, seamlessly connecting
to Patparganj, Anand Vihar and
Ghaziabad.
Other than the transit area,
the ground, rst and concourse
storeys are retail or cultural: anactive pedestrian interface. The
subsequent oors are ofce space.
The terraces add another level
of public realm: the concourse
has terrace gardens along the
movement corridors, and the third
oor terrace acts as spill out areas
for the ofces.

Different user groups (ofcegoer,
shopper, commuter, etc) have been
identied and are catered throughbuilt responses.
The play between urban/human
scale can be seen in the variety
of open spaces making up the
public realm: The structured
built responds to nodes, axes;
movement patterns guiding the
user through voids and breaks,
plazas and greens.
Place-making and the notion of
identifyable open space has been
through removal of any ambigiousnegative; assigning particular
functions/ mix of functions;
having clear boundaries and
visible points of transition. As a
result, theseplacesare unique
experiences that have been tied
together by transitions.

Transit orienteddevelopment: Mixeduse housing in TikriKalan, West Delhi
The challenge was to integrate a housing project with
the city beyond it, encouraging permeability but not at
the cost of security or privacy: especially relevant since
housing projects usually create exclusive fenced islands
that are inaccessible to the non-resident.

A model development with
the potential to be replicated;
exemplifying Transit orienteddevelopment norms proposed by
the DDA (UTTIPEC) which push
for high-density, boundary-free,
built to edge mixed use buildings
within ~60 to 80m urban blocks.
The central, uninterrupted open
space acts as a green spine, that
can be used by residents, villagers,
pedestrians to go accross the site.
The pedestrian is drawn through
a series of transition commercial
to plaza spaces, connectionsmade more obvious with the help
of voids in lower oors of the
clusters.
The scheme shuns vehicles by
creating cul-de-sacs; however each
cluster is serviced by streets on 3
sides.

Each cluster, derived from a
built-to edge condition, encloses
its own green pocket (territorialreinforcement through basic
form). Simply extruding this
volume would make the open
redundant; but since verticality is
a necessity, our proposal only has
taller blocks at the corners of the
cluster. They have double-loaded
corridors with frequent terraces to
let in natural light and ventilation.
Entry into the clusters is either
through multiple secured vertical
cores opening onto the street,voids on the lower oors or
through the green link. The street
interface is through commercial
and institutional units, creating
an active edge. Thus implied
ownership of space and eyes on
street are the driving elements
against potential crime.

The elements that make up a
cluster are modular in nature
allowing for organizationalexibility.
Cluster 1 is made up of three
such elements mid-rise (G+15)
blocks on the edges containing
the duplex units and the low-rise
(G+5) blocks; single room shared
bath units block and the single
room with attached bath units
block. This cluster is essentially a
series of these blocks linked with a
common corridor.
Cluster 2 has been developedfor places on the site which
command a larger percentage of
transient footfall (along the road
cutting across the site, and the
boulevard). These can potentially
become business, employment,
institutional, commercial urban
centres. This cluster also houses
the large unit types.

Commercial tower onBarakhamba road,New DelhiA multi-storeyed structure interfaces with the city on
behalf of the organization(s) that occupy it; effectively
projecting their identity and value systems- and literally
setting them in stone. The added virtue of scale is
especially relevant in the context of Delhi, where high-
rises are rare.

Instead of a solitary tower anked
by ambiguous spaces, the built
splits into two halves and the
centre acts as a large atrium,
bringing in light and ventilation
into the blocks till the basement.
Light has much to do with the
surface articulation: light shelves
increase daylight penetration 0nto
the oorplate in north and south
directions, and vertical louvres/
mullions cut the east/west low-
angle sun glare.
The block division also allows
easier allocation/ division of
leaseable area on a oorplate. The
refuge oors connect and house
activities common to employees
on both towers- auditorium,
reading rooms, conference rooms,
and multi-purpose halls that
could be converted into spaces like
gyms, day-cares, spas etc.

A thoroughfare is introduced-
connecting accross the site to cash
in on pedestrian movement with
shops, restaurants and cafes on a
dedicated retail oor (connected
to the ground oor by a set of
elevators and escalators), forming
a plaza at the base of the atrium.
The ground oor is thus porous

Choked by hotels, souvenir shops
and innumerable cafes, public
space for locals is practically non-
existant.
This series of interconnected
public decks infused with cultural
activity is an attempt at bringing
attention back to theKangra
natives and Tibetan refugees;
which might reverse the loss of
their respective cultures.
The terrain lends itself to be
broken up into platforms- by
stratifying along the contours.
Envisioned as an introverted
space for the locals, it plugs into
the context, taking advantage
of the links and nodes along
the slope. The link from Bhagsu
to Tipa road is a showcase of
and for the community- a hall
that is visually accessible to the

From the streets, the vertical
dimension adds a variable of

The challenge was to encourage
the visitor to embrace the city
- a hot, dry climate tends to
push people indoors. Sited at
the gateway to the old city, this
proposal creates a large, sunk
court, shaded by louvers that
making the space habitable yet
exposed.
This is arguably the most visually
recognizable element in this
design, and thus begets the
iconic factor desirable for such an
institution.
The focus was on creating a
memorable series of experiences,
episodic and discrete. To this
end, the proposal opts to create
functionspecic zones, wherein
the visitor can choose to engage
one in particular at his own whim;
but can simultaneously visually
access each zone.

Elevated paths are pedestrian
axes; this journey tempts the
passerby with glimpses of cultural
activity (sunk court), exhibitions
(spiral hall).
The spiral hall creates a seamless
transition of levels between two
perpendicular paths, transporting
the visitor to a terrace overlooking
the stage in the court; and to
a raised vantage point for the
Girdikot gate.

A small lake near the plot edge
was a perfect opportunity to buffer
the farm from the farmhouse.
Large openings celebrate the
natural siting by framing idyllic
views of the lake and vegetation
beyond.
Strong spatial hierarchy is
apparent in the zoning diagrams:
each functional cluster has
organized in a manner dictated by
efciency of usage.
Spaces for social interaction- the
lawn, pool -side, living, and dining
room are all intertwined and face
the south, and the more intimate
functions such as Mr. Sharmas
ofce and bedroom get the north
sky.
Making the most of Delhis climate
necessitated studies of traditional
house design, and incorporation
of the pertinent elements in the

The water body would cool
incoming air, and the courtyard
would bring in light and maintain
the air updraft, resulting in
healthy cross-ventilation.

Artist residency program atManali, Himachal Pradesh
A residence + studio for a hypothetical artists residency program on
the valley slopes of Manali - which anticipates production of inspired
artwork.
Much like Nicholas Roerich, who was so taken with the majestic peaks
that he lived there for the rest of his life, painting landscapes.

The artists specialization was to
be land installation art:
Manipulation of natural elements
to mirror ones aestheticsensibilities: three dimensional
installations in outdoor space
using natural media with
introduced materials. Land art
is conceptual and simple, mainly
so because of the sheer volume
of work involved. Here the studio
directly interfaces with the
outdoor (it is at the lower level),
with large openings since land art
is an outdoor activity.
The studios form is a loudresponse to the landscape;
contradicting and reversing it. It
can be considered land art: forcing
the viewer to appreciate it in
context, man-made or otherwise.
The slope is also a result of
optimal orientation for cutting
downhill wind and snow.

Interior spaces are used for
preluding work; ideating, drawing
/ sketching, making scale models,
and components to be assembled.Thus, the studio can be divided
into creation, storage and
documentation spaces: creation
includes the work stations and
tables, documentation refers to the
photo + video facility, and storage
space is for the various equipment
and nal products.

The term inclusive is a social
phenomenon: developed by
society and reinforced through
cultural and social practices,
whereas housing is a spatial
construct that envelops a tangible
amount of resources in terms of
land, infrastructure, etc. These
can be seen as two different yet
closely related spheres in need of
intervention, and perhaps the only
tools us architects and planners
have at our disposal affect (andeffect) the spatial sphere.
This distinction becomes apparent
in the existing scenario where
development happens despite and
not because of policy. This is a
critique of the regulatory in favour
of the facilitative policy model;
given that policy interventions
in our housing market have had
limited success because they were
imposed on the existing market
system and have rarely attempted
to correct its failures. Master
plans, zoning regulations and
building bye-laws are long term
plans and by their very nature
cannot respond to the dynamicsof urban areas. For example,
affordability is viewed as a ratio
of price/rent of housing to income
of household, and ignores the
dwellings adequacy.
In our research, we selected
frameworks for computing this
notion of inclusivity within
social and spatial spheres, which
resulted in a list of parameters
on which this notion seemingly
depends. During further synthesis,
we reorganized the structure of
the parameters based on temporal
phases of intent, design, and usage,
since these phases also help
delineate the various stakeholders:
policy makers and other forms of
authority, the architect/planner,
the end user. These spheres ofintervention, or scopes of
responsibilities, adds value to the
denition of inclusivity.
Christened the inclusive housing
matrix, this tool for analysis is
employed on the designated site
and case-studies. Using a variety
of methods from mapping to
interviews, this primary survey
gave insight into the conicting
nature of these parameters.
Learnings from the case studies
highlighted the synergistic nature
of the parameters within the
matrix.
In conclusion, an appreciation of
the various factors that affect the
social sphere of inclusion because
of (or despite) the spatial sphere
of housing; as well as larger
developmental goals impact on
the same, is developed.

As Roland Barthes has aptly
argued, when things go without
saying in any area of human
discourse and practice they
become a powerful social
mythology, the power of this
mythology emanates from
the established social order
represented in it and the capacity
of the thing that goes without
saying to blind us to its own social
production (Robbins, 1997)
Architecture as a profession
is synonymous with the act of
creating drawings. A sub-set
of the so called architectural
representations; drawings form a
vital part, and perhaps precedes
other forms of representation.
In the contemporary world,
drawings indeed go without
saying, and thus has received
very little attention from the
academic community even when
they have taken over our means
of interpreting architecture,
and of course, of creating it. The
social order Barthes alludes
to is visible in the manner thatprofessionals and practitioners
within the realm of architecture
form a closed, exclusive
community, and establishes this
exclusivity with their common
tool for communication the
drawing. The research is aimed
at understanding what went into
the creation of this myth, how it
evolved over course of history.
Also imperative to understand
is how drawings work how it
functions as an instrument, an
extension of the architects will
the instructive, communicative
and translative merit it offers.
This research is restricted to
questions of representations and
not the content itself- the act of
communication being the focus.Putting this in a different way, I
look at the intentions the architect
makes clear in his drawings;
without questioning that intent
but I will be looking at how
the representation in turn subtly
reects (and affects) the theory.
Within this, I give more attention
to drawing making, treating
that as the primary form of
said representation for the
act of making two dimensions
communicate holds greater
signicance. Two dimensional
projection drawings generally
are associated with linked layersof information in the form of
text, photographs, and images.
Although the act of separating
them from each other seems
counter intuitive at rst, it will
help to comprehend the extent to
which drawings can stand on their
own feet.

YEAR 3 / 2013 / STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Fachhochschule Erfurt and School
of Planning and Architecture, New
Delhi conducted a 2 week long
student exchange program, andthe students were selected on basis
of merit.
The German students took part
in the introduction to our year
3 studio program, Commercial
tower on Barakhamba road,
and Barakhamba road urban
design. We worked with them
in understanding the context,
the functional and spatial
requirements, and debated
suitable responses.In Germany, we discussed our
completed schemes, bringing
forth ideas and epiphanies that
resulted from discovering new
technological, socio-economical,
conceptual ways of looking at
architectural problems and
solutions.

PUBLICATION DESIGN
Student work is documented and
compiled as a publication by the
university after the culmination
of a studio exercise, and isoutsourced to willing, freelancing
students. With an interest in
typography and layout design, I
have taken up these projects to
experiment with compositions,
layouts, interplay between text
and image; and consequently
develop a graphically consistent
means of communicating the
content. This portfolio is a result
of the same process.
