The project aims at designing a University town which when seen from a scaled up view shows a singular unified fabric but when zoomed in shows the different relations and negotiations happening within each sector in a way that there is a direct relationship between the institutions coming up and the existing villages. The university starts developing from its center towards these villages in a way that the existing boundary cease to exist. Therefore the aim for new Nalanda is how can the university help the areas around itself to grow and prosper making it a University Town.

Analyzing Water System of Ancient Civilization
Speculative Design - Site: Area beside IIM Udaipur The year is 2100. As one enters the city, the glimpse of water takes one’s curiosity to places of culture, where the connection between nature and humans is established which in a way creates landscape which is ecologically groundbreaking and culturally significant, it is humble but taller than any fort wall one has crossed. People occupy the places of work and live amongst a community, they talk together, eat together, work with one another, in a continuous symbiosis with nature. This harmony creates an inclusive environment that is healthy for a sustainable lifestyle. Water is something unusual for them, it’s not just merely used for day to day activities, rather they create and celebrate it with astonishing architectural forms and places of recreation, here you find a connection between the two realms :- Land and Water. They make their own food, they generate their own electricity, they reuse their dirt and catch their own water.
