Urban Mobility
Design and architecture approaches to movement, transit systems, and livable urban spaces.
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
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
😍
The in depth study of urban spaces and delicateness towards public is very promising and very nice.
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 heritage ties of CP are threefold: physical, social and cultural. The most important factors that make it popular destination are the social and cultural activities. The legacy of CP lies in its functional value as a dynamic place for recreation. Since this area is economically active, there is a need to increase the area for commercial activities.
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.
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.
Linear City
The increased presence and use of automation and artificial intelligence in society will create radical changes to the way people live and work This project provides new ways to live and work for both people with and without the skills still needed to hold a job By creating an adaptable and expandable city AI can begin to best serve the needs of everyone.
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!
Rolly
Project with the posibility of the creation of beautiful spaces but maybe because of the lack of development is missing the necessary conection to the city.
Cute idea - needs development
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.
one can see great work with pure dedication while reading this thesis.👍🏻
Great Work
Great work🙌🏻
Detailed overview of the MOO process used in the design
The publication contains selected chapters from my thesis black book 2026. Few chapters are taken to explain the detailed process researched developed using python scripting and grasshopper. It demonstrates how scalable the process is with its use cases in sustainable architecture.

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.
Enjoyed working with you together!
