Urban Continuum:An alternative learning ecosystem

Education has increasingly become detached from the lived realities of the city. Urban Continuum proposes an alternative model in which learning is embedded within the rhythms of everyday urban life. Instead of concentrating education inside institutional boundaries, the project distributes learning across existing neighbourhood spaces, creating an interconn

A thoughtful and original approach that expands learning into everyday urban life. Further exploring how this model can operate across different public spaces could strengthen its potential and impact.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback. The project grew from questioning the mono-functional nature of urban spaces and eventually led me to explore learning as something that could connect people, genetations and everyday civic life beyond the conventional campus. Your suggestion to test this model across different public spaces is something i'd really like to explore further, particularly how different urban contexts could create different opportunities for learning and collective information.

Highway as Habitat

Highway as Habitat addresses a fundamental paradox embedded in the contemporary American metropolis: highways serve as essential infrastructures of mobility, yet simultaneously fragment the urban fabric by separating movement from habitation. As cities continue to densify, this horizontal system—once a driver of expansion—has become increasingly misaligned w

Living the unplanned, Informal urbanism & place-making in Karachi.

The research concluded that informal urban activities are not obstacles to city development but essential contributors to Karachi's social and spatial identity. It demonstrated that top-down urban renewal and commercialization often fragment established urban ecologies by displacing informal communities without providing meaningful alternatives. The study advocates for a re-urbanism approach that recognizes and integrates everyday urban practices into future planning.

Urban design Portfolio | Spring 2026

The portfolio represents the culmination of a studio that began with an introduction to urban elements and the design of urban public spaces. The studio was founded on the premise that urban design is most effectively understood and articulated through the study and analysis of the built urban environment and its constituent elements. Structured as a series of three interconnected modules, first two showcasing case studies of urban elements and the third one, an effective design intervention.

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 Commercial Ground Floor: Catalyst of an Unplanned Centrality . Jet Sakane, Agadir, Morocco

This Master's thesis in architecture examines how the commercial ground floors of collective housing blocks in the Jet Sakane neighbourhood of Agadir, Morocco, generate an unplanned urban centrality. Combining field observation, cartographic analysis, and user interviews, the research shows how appropriation practices exceed the conceived framework and transform standardised pavements into lived spaces of identity and sociability.

Imagining Transit Villages in India: A Scalable Solution for Sustainable and Inclusive Growth in India

This research presents a novel framework for Transit Villages as a scalable and inclusive urban planning model for India. By critically examining existing TOD approaches and comparing international and Indian case studies, the study proposes people-centric planning strategies that enhance mobility, affordability, and environmental sustainability while addressing the challenges of rapid urbanization and peri-urban growth.

From Sociofugal Grids to Sociopetal grounds: Third places as tools for rehumanising the industrial landscape

From Sociofugal Grids to Sociopetal Grounds explores how industrial towns, shaped by rigid zoning and mechanised planning, often foster spatial alienation and social disconnection. Through theories of sociopetality, placemaking, and third places, it investigates how neglected urban spaces can be transformed into inclusive environments that nurture interaction, belonging, and collective life.

The post-carbon city

Moving beyond the question of decarbonizing transport, this article investigates the post-carbon transition as a catalyst for reconfiguring urban space. It examines how changing mobility paradigms reshape metropolitan structures, public space, and territorial organization, laying the foundations for a renewed architectural and urban model.
