Design and architecture projects exploring cities, landscapes, and the relationship between urban environments and natural systems.
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.
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.
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
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
good work😍
Getting into different typologies looks very interesting
Connaught Place: Re-imaging the legacy

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.
Enhancing Cultural Inclusion in Sheffield Urban Parks_Understanding of the Needs and Preferences of Chinese Residents
This study explores how Chinese residents perceive and use urban parks in Sheffield, focusing on Weston Park and Devonshire Green. Using mixed methods, it finds that cultural background strongly influences landscape preferences, with a clear tendency toward scenic and culturally resonant environments. The research highlights gaps in current inclusive design approaches and calls for more culturally responsive urban green spaces.

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.
one can see great work with pure dedication while reading this thesis.👍🏻

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.
The end of expansionary urban planning
The article shows that the future of urban planning lies in transforming existing spaces rather than expanding cities, in order to address ecological, economic, and territorial challenges.
Extensions: Urban Life beneath Transit Infrastructure
The thesis looked upon transit infrastructure as an extension to its locality that continuously transforms; creating spaces for newer uses. These spaces have histories of how different people have used them as a spatial resource. The intent of the project is to build a local community resource and urban commons under flyovers; grounded in the life and practices situated in the locality.
Continuity Through Change: Guiding Socio-Spatial Transformation to Reinforce Cultural Memory, Identity, and Everyday Urban Life in Mysuru

Through socio-spatial analysis, mapping, and experiential studies, the research examines how urban transformation affects the identity and character of historic areas. The project proposes context-sensitive strategies to guide change while strengthening cultural continuity, community relationships, and the everyday urban experience.
