Vertical public infrastructure

In this era of fast-growing cities and hyper-dense urban environments, numerous theories have
arisen around the concept of “compact cities”, about how to organize and optimize this density
and diversity in a more effective way, in order to impact positively on cities’ spatial and
ecological footprint, and improve their efficiency in terms of land, resources and energy
consumption.
This thesis is calling for an exploration of new ways of thinking and understanding urban public
spaces, their new morphologies and the new roles they will play in future cities. There is a
possibility of shifting toward the future, not only by challenging forms and construction
technologies, but by stressing new social designs paradigms. A new notion of space
representation and use.
Most of the high-rise structure are either residential or office tower and for the sake of public
spaces these high-rise towers are accompanied by a green landscape. The vertical space could
truly be public where people would come to meet and truly socialize
The main conceptual idea of Vertical public infrastructure is multiplying the intended space for
public recreation in a vertical way, compacting it in an inhabitable object.
Our public spaces are always introduced as an activity to engage less important and low value
spaces and empty streets as the possible place for people to cope together. Places less
attractive and impossibly populated. We always consider t as a potentially good places to bring
children to play, younger people to enjoy and older to socialize.
It sets a different approach in the design of public space, no longer needing to be large
horizontal extension of land, but rather a multi-layered metabolism with a softer impact on
land consumption, reducing drastically the amount of horizontal space to be used, and
mimicking better with its urban surroundings, while establishing a highly recognizable landmark
in the city.
The structure could consist of auditoriums, exhibition halls, rehearsal spaces for dance, music,
etc., e-libraries, OAT, parks, playgrounds and F&B commercial areas and movie halls for the
purpose of generating cost of building’s expenses.
 Astronaut training center
The total population of Earth is 7.5 billion and it will cross 10 billion by 2045 and it is already out
of resources to meet the requirements of current population. Companies and organization like
NASA, ISRO, ESA, SPACE.X, BLUE ORIGIN are already trying to find solutions of how to colonize
Mars and Moon. India is one of the top leading countries in space exploration and in 2021 will
launch a manned space mission to moon.
So, for this thesis I want to develop a and the required facilities for all the necessary
requirement for survival and safety of people living in outer space
This facility will include an agricultural land, research centers, spaceship launching and landing
pads, bays for vehicles used for transport and exploration

 Energy efficient hospital

There is a shortage of 2 million hospital beds in India at present. Roughly 100,000 hospital beds
have been added annually over the last decade and if India continues to maintain this rate, it will
fall short of target by 1.6 million beds by 2034.
With the need of as many hospitals, we may want to sit back and think about the quantum and
quality of buildings we are projected to construct in the near future. Hospital buildings are major
energy consumers because of their high demand of heating and cooling for controlled medical
parameters and round the clock functioning. In light of present demand and growth of healthcare
facilities in India, it is important to understand the energy load on the present infrastructure that
will be enhanced manifold in future.
It is a well-known fact that although the component of expenditure on design of a hospital is
meager compared to the expenditure on operation and maintenance of the building, yet the
impact of a good design may help in reducing these costs substantially. While designing, many
of us concentrated more on concept building and service design in a hospital but forgets about
the relationship between the context and energy efficiency measures
