About Discussions Projects6 Journals25 Publications1

Urban sprawl describes the unplanned expansion of cities into surrounding areas, creating challenges for infrastructure, ecology, and community. Designers and architects address these issues through interventions that reconsider land use, density, and the boundaries between urban and rural environments.

The community explores adaptive strategies for sprawling cities: converting agricultural land into mixed-use hubs, inserting green infrastructure into dense plots, integrating housing into existing urban fabric, and creating spaces that blur distinctions between wilderness and development.

SPROUT FROM SPRAWL

Sprawl the Programs, Sprout of Communication. In a market that emphasizes only fragmentary purchases, people simply comfortably and impulsively consumed agricultural products. So we look forward to bringing together each field of agriculture scattered sporadically through our design like a sprout, just like the title of the contest, "Sprout from Sprawl."

New Delhi_ Boundless Sprawl

In the growing city of New Delhi, Connaught Place is one of the main identity of the city. To make it a better place, we propose architectural, urban solutions to the problems that it carries, such as lack of walkability and traffic. With commercial, cultural, religious, political and inclusive aspects in mind, new programs are introduced in to the site.
