COMUrban design and architectural projects addressing Mumbai's development, sustainability, and community-centered revitalization.
Apartments and Climate Adaptation in Mumbai
The thesis explores how Mumbai's DCRs affect climate adaptability in apartment housing. Through comparative building studies, it reveals the loss of spatial adaptability over time and proposes a climate-responsive redevelopment framework integrating adaptable housing, flood resilience, passive environmental design, and revised planning regulations.
Very good show ..! keep it up ..! All the best ..!
A highly rigorous and well-developed thesis that successfully connects housing, climate adaptation, lived experience, and planning regulations. The integration of research with architectural and policy strategies is particularly strong; further quantitative validation could make the proposal even more convincing.
REIMAGINING HIGHER EDUCATION IN DENSE URBAN CONTEXTS : A VERTICAL UNIVERSITY IN MUMBAI,INDIA

Rather than replicating the conventional horizontal campus, the project explores how a high-rise university can foster academic excellence, social in
A strong response to urban density that thoughtfully combines learning, student life, and vertical green spaces. Further refinement of the environmental systems and vertical circulation could make this promising proposal even more effective.
Adaptive Reuse of India United Mills no. 2 & 3
Located in Mumbai's historic Girangaon district, the project reimagines India United Mills 2 & 3 as a productive public precinct. Through adaptive reuse, retained industrial structures are transformed into spaces for learning, cultural production, community engagement, and public interaction, preserving site's heritage while creating a vibrant civic center.
A strong and well-researched adaptive reuse proposal that successfully connects industrial heritage with contemporary production, learning, culture, and public life. The project is particularly convincing in its site strategy and integration of new structural systems within the retained industrial fabric. Greater conceptual and architectural distinctiveness could elevate the proposal further

The need of the hour has introduced verticality as an exclusive part of the solution of the crisis of land shortage. Verticality has been seen in various forms of structures, but for educational buildings, a conventional form of structures are applied. This conventional form has to be reinvented into "a Vertical Campus" for educational institutes.
