"Sector" is a proposed Soft City Center (SCC) in Modasa, Gujarat, India. Modasa is an emerging educational center as well as an economic centre for agricultural exports, on provincial and national level. As a centre for the surrounding villages, Modasa acts as a transportation hub for both residents and tourists.
​
The core activities of the SCC are intended to promote and engage local residents and new arrivals to Modasa. The spaces of the Center include: indoor and outdoor classrooms, performance, recreational, market, administration, and dining spaces. These spaces serve as a catalyst for future growth and will be organized around open air collective spaces: piazzas, green, streets, and forum are used for public gatherings.
​
The main section of Modasa develops around a main road; the built form acts as plug in to the street system creating a network of houses. Sector takes the existing village​ street and reorganizes it based on program. ​The repositioning of the program is key to delineate the form of the SCC; focus is given to a central public area.​ To render the space more interactive and improve circulation, an alternative route is given and is placed parallel to the main street.​ The perimeter of the structure starts to form based on specific designed views and the new circulation system.​ New Program is introduced as infill between gathering spaces; different walls act as architectural separation of the different programs.
