The design revolves around pooling in research minds and creating a loop of feedback for them to benefit from. This idea was further explored by understanding the difference between a &#8216;study&#8217; and &#8216;research&#8217;. Study happens to be a linear understanding of given information. Whereas research involves a cycle of brainstorming,<br>assessments, deliberations and evaluations after which feedback is sought on the produced work and re-ideation begins before the next loop of study.<\/p>\n<p>The pooling of ideas occurs in the Urban center which facilitates thinking, processing information and prototyping initial outputs. These outputs of experimentation are showcased in the urban hub which is open to feedback from the general public and bureaucracy. Then a connection is formed between the two, looping up the produce and the feedback in the form of an enriched urban think tank.<\/p><p>This connect is the Urban Avenue that opens up the proposed transport hub along the outer edge of the site to the innermost working and experimentation of the urban centre, creating an effective space for our researchers to understand the needs of the city and develop its future plan accordingly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-35 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e5e1a58\" data-id=\"e5e1a58\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70d3dec8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"70d3dec8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"border-top: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1); padding-top: 24px; display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; gap: 24px 16px;\">\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Space Mono', monospace; font-size: 10px; color: #777; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 2px; margin-bottom: 4px;\">STATUS<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; color: #111; margin: 0;\">Competition<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Space Mono', monospace; font-size: 10px; color: #777; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 2px; margin-bottom: 4px;\">YEAR<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; color: #111; margin: 0;\">2015<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Space Mono', monospace; font-size: 10px; color: #777; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 2px; margin-bottom: 4px;\">LOCATION<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; color: #111; margin: 0;\">Hyderabad, India<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Space Mono', monospace; font-size: 10px; color: #777; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 2px; margin-bottom: 4px;\">TYPOLOGY<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; color: #111; margin: 0;\">Mixed Use<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"grid-column: span 2;\">\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Space Mono', monospace; font-size: 10px; color: #777; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 2px; margin-bottom: 4px;\">SCOPE<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 500; color: #111; margin: 0;\">Architecture &amp; Masterplanning\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4cc99ad6 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-id=\"4cc99ad6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6b61cec3\" data-id=\"6b61cec3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49f5a566 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"49f5a566\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!

The first design thought was to generate a circulation<br>pattern that would automatically ease the zoning of the respective blocks while aiding the&nbsp;flow of interaction. It allows for unhindered movement of life across the site considering the<br>future HMDA proposals for roads&nbsp;Design aspects such as research facilities, recreation, accommodation and arenas utilise&nbsp;sustainable design aspects such as green roofs, passive cooling and segregated waste&nbsp;management to add to the workability of the project. The zoning of the accommodation units&nbsp;and recreational facilities along with the transport hub keeps in mind the ever-growing city&nbsp;future and accommodates possible small-scale businesses and resulting influx of users.<\/p><p style=\"line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px;\">This initial design thought laid foundation to unique use of interactive design strategies such stepped terraces that enhance communication and instant feedback. The vastu<br>compliant design divides the accommodation units towards the existing highway giving them&nbsp;opportune views while making these south west units the highest, north east exhibition space&nbsp;the lowest, and ensuring natural shade throughout the year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e59c36c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6e59c36c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/4sitearchitects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Urban-Centre_4site-architects_AERIAL-VIEW.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTcxNSwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cLzRzaXRlYXJjaGl0ZWN0cy5jb21cL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjNcLzExXC9VcmJhbi1DZW50cmVfNHNpdGUtYXJjaGl0ZWN0c19BRVJJQUwtVklFVy5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"679\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/4sitearchitects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Urban-Centre_4site-architects_AERIAL-VIEW.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1715\" alt=\"Urban Centre, Commercial complex\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4sitearchitects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Urban-Centre_4site-architects_AERIAL-VIEW.jpg 679w, https:\/\/4sitearchitects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Urban-Centre_4site-architects_AERIAL-VIEW-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Bird eye view<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31aa0afa elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"31aa0afa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px;\"><b>PROJECT APPROACH<\/b><\/p><p style=\"line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px;\">STEP 1: Resolution of Circulation- The first step was to resolve the circulation in&nbsp;such a way that it forms an uninterrupted loop facilitating research and feedback in the<br>present, while accommodating the future proposed road. After multiple iterations, the final&nbsp;design contains one loop binds together the urban centre, urban hub, sports and the golf&nbsp;course while the other connects the accommodation and residences in close proximity. The&nbsp;smallest quadrant at the rear end can be used as variable land for farming and agriculture.&nbsp;Both the loops will remain undisturbed even after the future road implementation.<\/p><p style=\"line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px;\">STEP 2: Zoning\u2014 The next step was to analyse the different user groups and plan forms&nbsp;that eased respective activities. At the master planning stage, this analysis led to effective&nbsp;zoning of public, semi public and private zones, The Urban Avenue which is the main link&nbsp;between the city and the site design divides the space into 3 zones. The main strip is entirely&nbsp;open to public and is divided across levels to ensure playfulness and excitement to attract the&nbsp;general public. It simultaneously divides the space into selective semi public and private&nbsp;spaces for the researchers.<\/p><p style=\"line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px;\">STEP 3: Relationship between people and built form- The next challenge was to ensure interaction between the different built forms, and between forms and people. All the&nbsp;forms evolved in such a way that they increase visibility between the urban centre and public arenas. The visibility is heightened by the play of levels along public plazas, avenues and&nbsp;stepped terraces, hence creating excitement among visitors to explore the site more. The&nbsp;form also ensures sufficient shade along public plazas throughout the year making it&nbsp;comfortable for users to passively use public zones of the site.<\/p><p style=\"line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 20px;\">STEP 4: Finishing and elevational integrity- The final challenge was the ensure&nbsp;that materiality ensures workability of design. The entire structure uses concrete since it<br>facilitates experimental forms such as the ones in the design. The fins use terracotta&nbsp;pigmented concrete in order to visually match the boulders along the site.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section
