Apartments and Climate Adaptation in Mumbai
The thesis explores how Mumbai's DCRs affect climate adaptability in apartment housing. Through comparative building studies, it reveals the loss of spatial adaptability over time and proposes a climate-responsive redevelopment framework integrating adaptable housing, flood resilience, passive environmental design, and revised planning regulations.
Adaptive Reuse of India United Mills no. 2 & 3
Located in Mumbai's historic Girangaon district, the project reimagines India United Mills 2 & 3 as a productive public precinct. Through adaptive reuse, retained industrial structures are transformed into spaces for learning, cultural production, community engagement, and public interaction, preserving site's heritage while creating a vibrant civic center.
A strong and well-researched adaptive reuse proposal that successfully connects industrial heritage with contemporary production, learning, culture, and public life. The project is particularly convincing in its site strategy and integration of new structural systems within the retained industrial fabric. Greater conceptual and architectural distinctiveness could elevate the proposal further

Encounters with the City: Transit Beyond Efficiency
This thesis, Transit Beyond Efficiency: Encounters with the City, investigates the complexities of transit in Mumbai through the lens of scale, movement, and lived experience, focusing on the relationships between transit hubs and commercial districts. The research stems from the need to question efficiency-driven urban planning that privileges vehicles and large-scale infrastructure over pedestrian inclusivity and commuter experience. Using a mixed methodology of mapping studies, commuter surveys, personal observations, and case studies of Churchgate, Lower Parel, and Bandra, the thesis reveals stark contrasts in how different transit hubs have evolved and how these differences shape the daily lives of commuters. The findings highlight that while Churchgate and Lower Parel benefit from organically developed systems, Bandra and BKC expose a mismatch between imagined urban visions and lived realities, resulting in disconnection, alienation, and infrastructural inadequacy. The outcome underscores the importance of rethinking transit infrastructure and allied systems through human scale and inclusivity, setting the stage for interventions that reframe BKC as an accessible and empathetic business district rather than a detached corporate enclave.
