SCIENCE CITY –At Allahabad, India Science city was my undergrad disserta1on. It was spread across several acres of land and required intensive site plan designing skills. While designing its site plan I incorporated various elements of science in my design. Each building designed conveyed special informa1on to its spectators based on its theme . All the buildings encircled the centrally located museum – Vigyan Bhawan and mirrored the concept of planets revolving around the sun. The circular paDern of the road helped the visitors to return back to the gate complex aFer viewing all the exhibit galleries

The Sabarmati riverfront development was an urban design project which intended to synchronize and develop two culturally diversi;ied banks of the river Sabarmati in Gujarat. This project is an ongoing project since 1964 under HPCDM in Ahmedabad. As part of our academic curriculum we studied 1.5 km long stretch of this river from Gandhi Bridge to Nehru Bridge. The aim of this study was to unify and develop the urban character of the river which is passing through the center of the Ahmedabad city. Various studies were carried out to understand the character of the river. It was found that both the banks, the eastern and the western, differed substantially in their characters -‐ one being of economic importance and other being of heritage importance due to the presence of fortress wall. The project required extensive details of the site for which following studies were carried out :-‐ • Comparative analysis of the past proposals • Environmental studies • Transit oriented studies • Real estate studies • Socio-‐economic studies • Demographic studies • Site activity mapping • Land use studies, etc.
Analysis: • The western bank of the river was primarily commercial while the eastern bank consisted of encroached housing
societies and structures which were of heritage importance to the government • The road network leading to the riverfront was poorly developed • Storm water drains on the eastern side were poorly developed and water logging happens in the rainy season
