Jury Comments
• The project seems like a utopian project with the equation you have tried to create between ecology and the technological advances.
• The dominant feature of the design is the continuous winding skywalk. Actual building  plans and details of the built forms seem to be missing.
• Aim, object ive and until typological concepts, the ideas are very clear. Logical reasoning, actual design, clarity on paying client, wetlands interventions are some areas that
could be more focused upon.


Climate change and its effect on water is an inevitable phenomenon. However, the scarcity of this valuable resource is not just due to changing natural patterns, but t he induced man-made disaster of unsustainable water use. 

"Water use has been growing globally, more than twice the rate of the populat ion increase in the last century, and an increasing number of regions are reaching the limit at which water services cannot be sustainably delivered, especially in the arid region"· (UN-Water). Water scarcity is a reality in various parts of the world, especially in the developing countries of the global south. There is an adverse impact on India, especially in the north and western parts of the country due to uncontrollable urbanization and climate change. The water system in Jaipur has central instabilities with a high level of dependence on a sing le source at the moment. With high termination loss, increasing water pollution and degradation of the ecosystem, the resilience to such loss is low.

This thesis provides mult iple connect ions to the surrounding neighborhoods, existing and proposed, and to harbor on all sides. The proj ect also seeks to explore how architecture can re-est ablish the connection between humans and the natural landscape with minimum intervention through design. 
The site becomes a museum and the building becomes the site. The approach was to have a minimal impact of built form on the site. The idea was to provide a new arch itectural language by raising the built mass and conserving the existing biodiversity on ground along with added Farming landscapes. It also focuses on reviving the ancient wisdom and making water everybody's business . 

Taken from : ARCHIVING ARCHITECTURAL THESIS 2020 - "Awards for Excellence in Architectural Thesis" the annual program conducted by the Council of Architecture through its academic unit Council of Architecture Training and Research Centre (COA TRC) completed its eleventh cycle in 2016.
