    Death is not the end, being forgotten is
    (AIKTC, 2022-05) Rawool, Parag; Amrelia, Ali Abbas (17AR01)
    A few estimation states that 68% of world population would move to urban areas by 2050. Mumbai, a city which is home to more than 1.28 crore people have only 202 cemeteries, crematoria and other places of last rites. A majority of them lack proper security and are poorly maintained. The rapid urbanization of the city, higher fertility rate to death rate ratio and high migration have led to a massive lack of space for burial. It has been reported widely that the city lacks space for the dead. Although, funeral practices are considered sacred. They have seen little to no change in many years. The research focuses on these spaces as a symbol of memorization. Religions which do not recommend memorising the dead have been left out at a preliminary stage. The burial practice is a majorly used practice to memorise the loved ones. The burial spaces take large ground in the city and mostly don’t use the spaces full potential. Sometimes, poor designing does cause circulation issues and wastage of space. Also, these spaces are not designed to address the traumatic condition one goes through when they lose their loved one. It is a fact that cemeteries are not designed only for the dead but the living that wishes to visit them. The municipal corporation of Mumbai is planning to solve the demand of new burial ground spaces by proposing new cemeteries in the open spaces available in the outskirts of the city. This creates another issue that people in the city centre would be force to travel many miles just to visit their loved one’s grave. It is also important to understand, how ancillary activities and associate spaces can change the image of these spaces by bring up positivity instead of fear. This thesis is a research analysis of funeral practices and activities related to them. It focuses on solving these major issues which are not talked about often. It is aimed to conclude with a solution which can solve the problem of lack of space for dead in mega cities with a sustainable approach. Also, using architecture as a tool to change the perception of these spaces of fear to something positive which can help in the welfare of the public.

    Giving back to the unsung heroes- Indian truck drivers
    (AIKTC, 2022-05) Rawool, Parag; Shaikh, Mushahid Raza (17AR30)
    The transportation industry has been involved in trucking since the late 1800s, when the first internal combustion engine was installed. In India 63% of the total freight is transported by road, mainly by heavy duty trucks and light duty trucks carrying more than 3000mmt (million metric tons) of cargo each year. Since the past four decades the ratio of truck drivers per truck is gradually decreasing. As per multiple reports by 2022, 50% of the nation's trucks will remain unused on the roads due to a shortage of truck drivers. A radical decline in numbers of truck drivers has been suffered due to insufficient amenities and excessive responsibilities. The current trade and transportation network of India offers very few essential services to truck drivers. A distance journey demands support for truckers as they are the backbone when it comes to supplying goods, Medical care, and other essential services. This rapid decline of truck drivers in India may cause a standstill to many goods-based services in India. Hence, there is a need to address this issue. Truck drivers spend the major part of their life staying away from home. “Home is where the heart is”, this thesis aims to add just the essence of home (if not the actual home) through architecture in life of the

    Paving the path ahead: innovations and opportunities for panvel city's market yard
    (AIKTC, 2023-11) Rawool, Parag; Kalse, Shubham (18AR21)
    This document provides a comprehensive overview of the Panvel market yard, a century-old marketplace in India primarily focused on vegetable sales, serving as a central hub for vegetables from 196 villages to meet the demands of both local and regional markets. It also highlights the role of hawkers, temporary vendors, and the logistical aspects of goods transportation. Despite its historical significance, the market faces challenges such as congested loading areas, inadequate sanitation, and unorganized infrastructure, impacting both sellers and buyers and resulting in significant waste generation. Additionally, the document underscores the urgent need for community schools and facilities to accommodate the growing local population. Looking ahead, a 25-year development plan takes environmental regulations and land allocation into account, aiming to address current inefficiencies, optimize land usage, and enhance facilities to support the region's farmers and traders. These initiatives are geared towards improving the market's competitiveness, transparency, and overall efficiency, ultimately benefiting the broader community and bolstering the local and regional agricultural economy.

    Proposed collaboration centre for trading of arts and craft, in Kutch-Hujrat
    (AIKTC, 2019-05) Rawool, Parag; Motorwala, Hayat Fayyaz
    Culturally Kutch is very rich, it has different types of handicrafts. Majority of the villages are dedicated to one single craft. After 2001 earthquake, art and craft of Kutch has changed a lot. It has started moving in positive direction. Artisans are taking it up as their responsibility to enhance and widespread their skills. Apart from practising art and craft just for their livelihood, artisans are taking interest to take the art and craft of Kutch to another level. As artisans themselves are working for the betterment of their community, because of this the demand of art and craft has increased. Lot of NGO has come up for the promotion of art and craft in Kutch. As after earthquake certain art and craft has moved to a positive side, others have moved to the point of extinction. There are various factors because of which they have reach the point of extinction. Such as change in landscape, lack of skill craftsmen’s, decrease in the market demand, lack of advertisement etc. To increase and to spread the art and craft of kutch it is important to bring in certain changes in the whole process of designing. Artisans have their own design type and process, whereas designers have different way to approach a design, so to penetrate urban market, artisans need to create designs which are in demand, hence collaboration of artisans with designers is important. Art and craft of Kutch is so intricately made, that they can get recognition on global level. Skilled craftsmen are required to increase the production of the handicrafts, As the youth is not interested in taking this art and craft as their profession. Use of technology, to showcase their art and craft is still untouched. With the use of technology, artisans will learn to showcase their work on online market. There are many online markets, which are giving free platform to artisans to present their art forms. To increase revenue of the region, and to bring artisans into picture, it is important for them to understand the use of technology and to work upon it. Even after all the initiatives taken up by different foundations, artisans on personal level don’t want their future generations to practice these art and craft, as they feel that their art and craft is not enough valued by the people.

    Reviving the realm of street children
    (AIKTC, 2021-05) Rawool, Parag; Shaikh, Hafsa Shujauddin (16AR22)
    Street children are a vulnerable group in any society and this problem is a global one which persist in both developed as well as developing countries on different scale. Street children are present everywhere even in urban developed cities as well as villages, the society has accepted them as a buy product of poverty, over population, breakdown of family system. These children are labelled by UNICEF to be in difficult circumstances. The world is facing a serious problem on the issue of street children. Social stability will not exist in the future as this problem is not taken care of. Latin America, Asia and Africa have the highest percentage of street children in the world. Street children are a vulnerable group in India, they are deprived of education, protection, health care and adult supervision. They are visible in every city near traffic signals, shopping area, railway platforms, religious places, under bridges, road pavements in lack of adequate shelter and yet these street children do not exist in our census and policies. In the early 60’s street children were identified in Mumbai and the number of street children ever since have increased exponentially. Basic amenities like food, shelter, clothing and safety are their everyday problems. This results in them developing hatred and a negative attitude towards the society. The aim of this project is to meet the need of the street children and for this we also need to understand who they are, what they do, what is their basic needs and how can they be identified. Destitute children should live a healthy life and should be socially responsible members of the society is the main motive of this project. -To provide an environment for learning and creating a hope for fulfilling life. -To provide a space where they are nurtured with care and education. -Skill based training for children. -To provide them with health and recreational facilities. -To design a space which meets the requirement of the user.

    Unseen boundries : lost communities
    (AIKTC, 2023-11) Rawool, Parag; Inamdar, Zaid (19AR04)
    This thesis embarks on an exploratory study of the Turbhe abandoned quarry site in Mumbai, with a primary focus on addressing the complicated challenges and opportunities that have raised from decades of quarrying activities in the Turbhe-Belapur belt. These activities have had deep adverse impacts on both the local ecology and the surrounding community. The core objective of this project is to conceptualize and execute a comprehensive revitalization plan for the Turbhe quarry site, taking into careful consideration the intricate web of stakeholders that have been affected by the quarry's abandonment. The selected quarry site presents a unique advantage - its strategic location. Situated alongside a key road and in proximity to the largest slum cluster in the area, it has the potential to serve as a catalyst for positive change in a densely populated urban environment. These challenges include environmental degradation, safety hazards, and socio-economic vulnerabilities. The unfilled quarry pits have become breeding grounds for pollution and stagnant water, posing a health risk to the local community. Furthermore, the lack of anagement strategy has allowed for unauthorized waste dumping, thereby exacerbating pollution concerns. In this context, the project's area program is thoughtfully designed to mitigate these challenges and transform the Turbhe quarry site into a beacon of sustainable development. It places a significant emphasis on inclusivity, ensuring that the diverse needs of the community are addressed comprehensively. Key components of the project include the creation of employment opportunities for women and youth, the establishment of community-inclusive spaces, the provision of basic health services, and the introduction of various amenities such as public restrooms, retail stores, vocational training facilities, and communal areas. The project's vision revolves around achieving mutual benefits for all stakeholders. By reimagining the Turbhe quarry site as a thriving and sustainable community hub, this initiative aims to restore the local ecology, uplift the socio-economic conditions of the affected community, and illustrate the transformative power of responsible land management. It is a demonstration to the potential for abandoned quarry sites to evolve into resilient, vibrant, and harmonious urban spaces.
