Thesis Synopsis
( Vertical Neighborhood)
Demand And Rising Importance

2. Vertical Neighborhood
Typology of thesis : study and design based
Aim :
Reinventing the very idea of neighborhood to address urban sprawl and overcome
decentralization with high quality, high density design by going vertical.
Introduction:
Due to the migration of the population from the smaller cities, towns and villages to the bigger
cities results in the rise of the population. The demand of the spaces grows and the availability
of the land reduces. As a result the buildings go vertical to fulfill the raising demands. This is the
already known paradigm.
When talking abut any master plan of the city, the planners talk about fixed land use. It is
already assumed that all city functions have to sit on the ground. So in a neighborhood, some
spaces are allotted to residences, some for commercial and hence forth. This is such a primitive
concept. It belongs to a time when building high was only a technical dream. Today the dream is
becoming reality and very fast improving too. The aim here is to bring it altogether in a single
building.

4. Vertical Neighborhood
Scope :
The main objective here is to design a VERTICAL NEIGHBOURHOOD. The aim here is to
allot various spaces in a single built form with smart planning. Offices, commercial, residential,
educational and community space.
Limitations :
 Since the scale of the project is huge (allotting various spaces and an area of approximate 29
acres) few aspects like the core part of the skyscraper, wind and earthquake factors and
major structural aspects are not dealt in detail. No major studies will be done on the thermal
conditions also. Only residential spaces are designed. Other spaces are allotted at suitable
positions.
