Demystifying the Urban Paradigm

Urban Design as a discipline, has a very recent history in the modern world. With the increasing importance of design in planning, there is no doubt that the quality of a designed space plays a significant role in its success and failure. To understand this behavior of urban spaces, it is necessary to decode the way people behave in various contexts, The portfolio captures this detailed study that cuts across a variety of scales and urban scenarios both in India and across the continents. This study establishes an academic ground, engaging the practice and theory of contemporary urbanism. With every stage, the scale of study enlarges, facilitating a step-by-step approach to the understanding of the elements of Urban design. The study gradually converges into identifying the issues and opportunities of a given precinct in Ahmedabad, which is a rapidly developing industrial city. The design project focuses on revitalizing a potential public realm, enhancing the pedestrian, cyclist and vehicular experience.
