    Study of crowding and coping in ladies compartment in Mumbai Local: An environmental psychology perspective
    (MES Pillai College of Architecture, 2014-09) Ambe, Sonam
    The study of impact of built environment on People, Environmental Psychology (EP), is integral to design of ‘used’ spaces. People’s association and positive or negative reactions to certain colours, forms and orientations are aspects of design which have not been extensively studied by most designers. From the larger purview of EP, this paper focuses on the issues of density and crowding, specifically the impact of crowding on urban female commuters travelling in the ladies compartment of Mumbai Local Trains. The paper looks at crowding and stimulus in local trains by studying the environment and design evolution of the train compartment and constructive coping mechanisms sought by the commuters. The research follows a participative approach where the conclusions are drawn post interaction with commuters. Different aspects of train design like, seating, racks and bag holders, GPS announcements, etc. are highlighted and alternatives (some suggested by the commuters) are expressed. The study delves on seminal theories in crowding psychology to support the conclusions. The paper also advocates the importance of early intervention and need for study of environmental psychology in the pedagogy of architecture.

    Quadrant 2015
    (AIKTC - SoA, 2015) SoA
    Quadrant in its inaugural year was a huge success. We had speakers from various streams of design who came, shared their and experiences and deliberated on the discussion of design processes. The theme for the conference was design process across the Quadrant of theory, practice, technology looked through colored lenses of culture. Design lies in the continuum between theory and practice. Theory is the philosophical seed for the inception of new ideas and practice is the execution of these ideas in built-form. Graphically, theory and practice generate a two dimensional quadrant within which the design is incubated and executed (Figure 1). However, theory and practice are always guided by advances in technology. The quadrant grows a third dimension of technology (Figure 2).
