Outstanding Architecture and Design Thesis Award
URBAN INSERT: Re-"DEFINING" an Old Space.
OA - 1123
Hello! This is Rucha Sunilrao Nargund from Nashik, India, done my Architectural thesis from MET’s BKC School of Architecture and Design, Nashik.
Nashik is one of the cities which is included in the “Smart Cities Mission” for Rejuvenation and urban transformation by the current Central Government. As part of rejuvenation of the city, redevelopment of smaller urban spaces in a city needs to be looked out. The research was conducted to study the current site condition, issues, problems, current situation and its appropriate solution, traffic circulation flow, people’s opinion about the redevelopment. The research goes further to propose an alternative strategy for redevelopment of old site.
Architectural insertion in a per-existing urban context can be defined as URBAN INSERT. It provides another layer of background into and per-existing context for upcoming projects. Redesigning an old site by inserting appropriate solutions according to the context, creates identity, landmark and also helps people to derive new perspectives about the preexisting conditions of the site.
