DOWN THE DRAIN : RECLAIMING URBAN VOIDS THROUGH ARCHITECTURAL INTERVENTIONS
COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Department of Architecture and Design, Islamabad
Pakistan
Project idea
The urban fabric of cities is changing at a fast pace. This demanded a quick, rather unplanned development leading to many “left-over “spaces. These leftover spaces are called urban voids.
The Urban Voids are a vital component in the context of the built environment. This thesis proposes that Nullahs have become a major Void in the urban fabric of Islamabad, Pakistan and addresses the issues caused by this left-over space. The thesis aims to generate ideas of how these Nullahs (Urban voids) can instead be rejuvenated as a catalyst for the development of urban environment.
Combining key elements of functionality and creativity, my project will endeavor to create a realistic understanding of the site it examines through the tools of: observation, desk research and interviews.
Throughout these approaches I aim to deliver an interesting and thought-stimulating project, not only in an aesthetic aspect but also as a potential for inspiration for the further implementation of Nullahs (Urban Voids) within Islamabad.
Project description
Project objectives:
-Utilizing nullahs as a productive space in urban fabric, through architectural interventions.
-Understanding how the role and dynamics of the nullah changes across various sections.
-Finding potential areas that can converted into a focal point. Acting as catalysts in improving the urban fabric.
-Architectural intervention must be based on the facilitation towards the user for community.
