Urban Dam explores how designers use natural systems and landscape strategies to address contemporary city challenges. The topic encompasses regenerative design, ecological restoration, and the integration of agriculture and vegetation into built urban fabric.

Community members investigate living facades, vertical ecosystems, hidden green spaces, and closed-loop food systems within cities. Projects range from retrofitting existing structures with natural elements to designing new urban typologies that prioritize symbiosis between human infrastructure and ecological processes.

Structuring the Urban Form with Natural Systems

Due to the need for incorporation of innovation to effectively manage services, resources and limited space, mountain cities acquire an identity that sets them apart from the cities in plains. Thus this thesis explores the idea of structuring the urban form around the natural water system to utilize the available natural features in the best possible way.

Safe (X)

A planning outline for scalable 100 units regenerative community housing model is proposed and the strategies are refined from a Master plan level to dwelling unit level, along with an action plan for functionally surviving the flood. Safe (X) is a unique model which can be adapted in any location which ensures the safety of all communities considered.

Hexagon City

Hexagon City challenges the norm by using materials at hand at the building side, by making optimal use of the land and by applying low-tech solutions to supply the city with durable energy, water, shade and cooling.Although it can be added we do not prefer high-tech solutions for their need of scarce raw materials.

The project embraces flood as a natural phenomena as the premise to imagine the possibility of secure human habitation. With this as the central idea, the project defines resilience to be two fold- 1.to be prepared before flood. 2. sustenance and recuperating post flood scenario. In its execution, the project encapsulates this idea at three distinct scales.

A DoItYourself ToolBox for Kerala

People know their enviroments better than any outsider, so why give them ready-made solutions when we can give them the tools to solve it as they think is best? We aim to provide a ToolBox to deal with flooding that fulfill certain basic requirements so the community build it on their own, as they like and asuring their identities.
