Design and architecture projects that shape shared environments and foster community interaction in urban settings.
Reviving Maritime Heritage of Mandvi, Kutch
This project proposes an integrated Shipbuilding Skill Development and Tourist Interpretation Centre to revitalize Mandvi’s declining, centuries-old handcrafted wooden shipbuilding tradition. By merging training, cultural interpretation, and tourism, the centre addresses challenges like technological shifts and a shrinking skilled workforce.

Thresholds of Publicness: Rethinking Interstitial Spaces in Mumbai
Thresholds steps, plinths, verandahs are where public and private quietly meet. This research studies these in-between spaces as the living social fabric of Indian cities. As boundaries harden and land gets privatized, these porous edges are disappearing, taking everyday connection with them. Through observation and mapping, the study reads thresholds not as leftover space, but as sites of pause, exchange, and belonging. It argues that even a step or a strip of shade can hold a city together
😍
The in depth study of urban spaces and delicateness towards public is very promising and very nice.
THE GAP - City APP for the public
Our city is changing into a highly-connected machine thanks to the 'high-efficiency' technology. People rely so much on mobiles for the reason that they are the terminals of the huge city device. Sadly, our public space turns into a gap in the 'network' gradually. How can we help our public space keep up with the development of the whole city system?
Platform Park (Huddle)
The platform is a park designed for people of advanced age, where the impact of the usual to the natural is minimal. The intention of the park is to generate a space where users can travel, contemplate and meet. The continuity of a level from the highest point of the lot is considered, in order to generate a continuous step without irregularities.
Purgatorium
"Purgatorium" is a project that takes borders, limits and transforms them into places. It provides a space for those to whom the globalized world and the bureaucracy do not give a place, transforms that point that by definition is a space of separation and segregation into a place of encounter and hope
General Comments The competition poses a highly complex and difficult question. The restriction to use the bridge as project site narrows down the solutions to - in the best case- intelligent and technical design solutions. Because of that, many of the projects don’t reflect on the question of migration politics, social challenges, and the real problems beyond the architectural solution. To evaluate the projects, my priority was to look for a basic reflection on the migration situation and the related design challenge and a basic idea of the project related to this reflection. The further development of the project has to be coherent to this idea and the design outcome has to reflect somehow the values of the idea. The criteria of proper representation helps to understand the idea and the development. Not the best looking image is the winner, but the most coherent graphic language and argumentation line. The compliance of the room program, I don’t consider relevant in this stage of design, so all the projects have the same evaluation.
The proposal has an absolutely clear presentation and a very positive impact on the observer. There is a direct relationship at the conceptual level with the objective of the contest and with a very acute understanding of the reality of the users. The above while presenting formal clarity as a whole, but neglecting some programmatic and scale relationships.
Congrats!
Issathies residential complex
Issathies was a mother in our minds whose every unit was her child and its inhabitants were all a family: Children who make shared memories in this house today to create a better tomorrow for their family and country. This journey in the definition of spatial bodies led us to create a small place in the heart of Issathies.
Thanks😍
thank you😍

BLOOMING
The concept of BLOOMING is to create a magic moment in the busy everyday urban life. With a little bit of collaboration, people can achieve the ultimate special moment that reminds us of the beauty and happiness of exploring the city and the people around us, like unforgettable memories of flowers blooming together at the same time.
Redefine the Private and Shared Space of Cohousing

Community Bridge
The Community Bridge is a platform for public space that bridges the existing tracks of the Petite Ceinture in Paris. The project connects both sides of the tracks to create an inclusive shared space for markets, performances, and lounging interspersed with landscaping around exposed tracks. Above the platform, a lightweight roof canopy spans the public spac
The means are disproportionate to the desired result.
Nice concept, beautiful presentation, adresses the conection between the spaces overt the rails. We miss the same concept towards the conection with the city.
Shelter design is good but overall design solution lacks imagination
Life for rent
It is not only a physical space, but also an online social/business platform: a new concept of hostle! When you become an "hubber", you are connected to a network all around the world, with the possibility to rent different typologies of spaces, such as private rooms, working stations, etc. You can also offer or share your skills to earn money!

Based on the most precious experience of the elderly, the main axis of experience sharing is divided into four major activities, including story sharing, images exhibition, video sharing, and phonograph , so as to encourage the old to convey their story to the society.
A strong researched thesis and a thoroughly detailed project.
A strong and well-researched thesis that turns maritime heritage into a living system of making, learning, and cultural exchange. Further refinement of the architectural expression and long-term operation could make this excellent proposal even stronger.
