Transit Station
Design and architecture of transit stations, hubs, and related infrastructure serving passengers and communities.
Mayura Bhoir _ Undergraduate portfolio _
This portfolio is a curated collection of works from my five years in architecture school, each project marking a distinct phase of learning and growth shaped by curiosity, collaboration, and a continuous drive to refine my design thinking. Together, they trace not just academic exploration but the gradual emergence of a personal architectural voice. Alongside this, the portfolio includes work from my internship, offering a glimpse into how these academic foundations found expression in professi
ALAWABBAD
ALAWABBAD is an aim to decongest and improve safety of Mumbai suburban railway network with a strategic approach of incrementation in tired and tested current system and integrate a new system which could cater substantial number of betwixt commuters.
TRANSIT RE-EVOLUTION
200 metro trains covering 70,000 km everyday on 190 km long Metro corridors in Delhi may serve a great means of transportation. The BIG Question is if it enriches the Commuter's Experience? Re-evolution of the metro station design solidifies the idea of enhancing the Human Experience with a new dimension to metro station typology in the city.
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?
Kripya Dhyan Dijiye
Kripya Dhyan Dijiya is a holistic and rational approach in the rethinking of an integrated and transit oriented development for Mumbai. In order to address this, the project focussed on a consortium of stakeholders (transport board), integration and digitalisation of transport variables and active citizen participation. Public transport is one system now!
Metabolic Infrastructure: Reimagining Dombivli Station as a Civic Catalyst
This publication explores Dombivli Station as a key urban area influenced by the intersecting dynamics of mobility, governance, informal economies, and environmental challenges. Through urban theory, site diagnosis, and layered analytical mapping, it reframes transit infrastructure not as a purely circulatory system, but as a civic condition capable of supporting more inclusive, resilient, and socially productive forms of urban life.

Snøhetta Drops a 70-Meter Reflective Cone into the Historic Heart of Riyadh
Qasr AlHokm Metro Station buries eight levels of transit beneath a mirrored canopy that acts as a periscope for an entire civic plaza.
modularity is the solution
The idea of creating a bus station not only as a piece of urban furniture but also as a multidisciplinary platform was positively valued since they include architectural concepts such as the unit, industrialized building, and spatial flexibility as part of the design. Likewise, including renewable energy, ICT, and recycled materials in most of the projects was also judged positively. In some designs, a final product that integrates within the environment on an adequate scale is missing.
good overall idea of different types of modules with potential elements
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.
