The proces process s evolved with the consi consideration deration of existing street network and continue the morphology in the site. The zoning was a mix grain of recreational commercial and business areas. T he “center” was placed on the junct ction ion of boule leva vard rd streets and and proposed MRT junction on the sit site. The penin insula sula was envisioned for the vertical farming to create a food for the habitation.

Movement in space
C.G. Road Road edge Section Ahmedabad city has always been in need of large open public place. However, some markets serves as public places. Today, public places are classied within shopping malls for many social activities of recreation. These malls are questioned for many reasons including their value for neighbourhood in an Indian context. With this understanding, the idea of creating relationship between a market and user response is a key to understand the ‘publicness’ of market space in City of Ahmedabad. The research thesis is an attempts to create the user response in the market places in market spaces to create the framework for the success and failure of a “PLACE ”.

Thebu build ilding inglangu guage ageanddetails allows ows the exibility of space to serve & accommoda accommodate te regular change in technology.
The idea of creating re station begins with the notion of creating a service building to our city. Fire stations in our cities have always been looked at as a need of the city and don’t have architectural character to its existence. The design proposal was molded in such a manner that it creates a prototype for it to be established a new language for a re station in the city. city. The hypothetical site was chosen in Naroda to explore the idea of ‘Modal Fire station’. The program was made with the consideration of re station head quarter to explore and understand the complexity of the project. The program involves diverse functions that come under re station i.e. Emergency rst aid, control room, rest room & many other emergency services and residential quarters for various users - re mans & ofcers. Corridor
The design proposal was conceptually evolved around the building services and functional cores. In re station the re trucks are the most important part of building making process. Hence, the dimensional requirement of the re truck was studied. The functional core of the building was provided such that it can accommodate two re trucks in a functional core. The functional core of the building was served by a service bay which involves various building services, Fire machine services, equipment areas etc. Repetition of the functional core and service core has carried forward vertically to accommodate the requirement of the residential quarters. The positioning of the cuboid mass was such that it leaves enough ground for various mock-up training in the back side and buffer spaces in the front side.
There are va vario rious masses have been carv carved outfrom the rigi rigid cub cuboid oid spa space ce to create an exp xper erien ienti tial al qu quali ality ty in the building. The doubled volume areas that overlook the primary spaces allow the ease of communication and provide a scale to the building as a whole. The corridor area being the main spine of the building cut across and serves the ease of access to tackle any emergency. The detailed architectural expressio n of a service building was achieved by providing various c limatic louvers, c ross bracing for earth quack resistance etc…The Steel as a building material was chosen to create an architectural expression and allow the exibility of space.

The Project Project: Requires a group of three students to develop the site for the inhabitation for a total of 75 government employees and their families. Of these 50 will be forest workers (working for the care, preservation and study of the reserved forests) while the remaining 25 will be health ofcers working in the town and the more rural areas around, on issues of public health. The forest workers have a more permanent presence and will be stationed here for up to 5 years with their Families, while the Health workers will come and go as they will be required to move from town to town, and village to village in the district.

Brief In nature form and structure are inseparable. In architecture, the expressive quality of built forms is rooted in structure which is essential in making of architecture. Structure orders the distribution of matter. It varies from material to material, allowing for different distributions of mass and void, leading to a variety of textures and grain, light and shadow, scale and proportions. It is from this perspective that structure gives meaning to material. The stud udio io systematically exp xplor lores possibi possibilit lity to learn throug ugh h forms forms in nat nature usin sing g realis listi tic sketching ng and abstract drawing in order to unearth ideas that form the basis of an architectural conceptualization. This studio looks closely at the relationship between material, structure and form. To explore the understanding of this The entire studio is based on various exersices.
