Prompt
The Government of India (GoI) launched the Smart City Mission in 2015 for developing 100 smart cities across India. Cities were required to prepare a proposal and participate in a challenge round, in which the top 20 proposals would be selected by the GoI. The Smart City Proposal (SCP) submitted by Pune was ranked 2nd in the first challenge round and approved by GoI for funding under the Smart City Mission. Different MODES of transportation should be complementary, not the competitors

Final Drawings
Performed 3 live case studies and 3 literature studies to understand the functioning of similar buildings in depth
Visited the site and did the site analysis to understand the context and the users of the site
Researched about the needs of the users and the anthropometric norms to be followed. In addition all the bye-laws were being studied
Based on the user needs and context the concept was derived
Area of each space was deduced in order to reach the maximum FAR and fruitfully utilize the site area
A form was being developed after all the areas were finalized keeping in mind the need of the surrounding
Several low fidelity sketches and 3D models were being produced after consolidating all the functional needs
Working plans, elevations and sections along with views were produced
