Competition entry - Asia’s Young Designer Award | 2019
Location: Mulund, Mumbai | Project Type: Industrial & Public
Plot Area: 435,583 sq. ft. (10 Acres) | Type of Work: Individual
The theme of this competition was to provide a design solution for the ‘Sustainable future’ of our built environment. Considering the exceeding amount of waste and shortage of landfill spaces in Mumbai a waste management center was proposed to replace an existing landfill site. The program is composed of a waste management area for the segregation of waste, a waste-to-electricity generation plant to produce ‘Clean Electricity’, a cow shed & organic farming, and workshop spaces for community artists, who can create crafts from recyclable waste.

The proposal for the zoological park was based on an ‘Ex- situ conservation’ concept, which is part of the ‘Pan-situ conservation’ or ‘Hybrid conservation’ approach. Here animal enrichment is given the highest priority in a way to retain their natural behavior. So, when they are reintroduced back to the wild they can adapt to the environment.
