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.

A highly rigorous and well-developed thesis that successfully connects housing, climate adaptation, lived experience, and planning regulations. The integration of research with architectural and policy strategies is particularly strong; further quantitative validation could make the proposal even more convincing.

Beyond Seasonality: Adaptive Urban Interfaces for Seasonal Cruise Infrastructure

Cruise terminals are designed for movement, yet remain dormant for months each year. At Mormugao Port, this project designs for time rather than a single function, transforming seasonal transport infrastructure into an adaptive waterfront where architecture, landscape, and public life evolve with the monsoon.

The project presents an innovative idea. However, the plan illustrations lack sufficient clarity. For a project of this nature, it would have been expected to provide a clear explanation of the building's structural and covering system.

Hello ma'am Thank you for your response and feedback. Kindly refer to the 3rd sheet right side material for all structural, roof and cladding related details, exploded diagrams and structural section and joinery details etc along with details of materials and their specifications attached. I hope that answers your question?

TLAPALTEOTL : The Lake That Refused to Die

Lake Texcoco once cradled Tenochtitlan, the heart of Mexica civilisation. Today barely 5 percent of that water remains, drained not by natural decline but by centuries of colonial drainage that read the lake as a threat rather than sacred ground. What followed was subsidence, salinity, and a city that learned to forget the water beneath it. Sited at the out

Progetto Ancora.

Beneath the asphalt, a century of industry poisoned the ground that feeds the lagoon. We remove the roads. Not to beautify. To begin. Hyperaccumulator plants draw poison from the earth, one slow season at a time. Buildings stop at their edges, not from failure, but from honesty. Ancora. Still here. Still anchored.
