Humans are famous for their selfish activity; they take as much they can but forget to return it to mother earth. Land and water are major resources on which human life is dependent. Human get their 99% of food from land resource and only 1% from ocean. By destroying such fertile land one can imagine the future food security of the country. These lands need to be preserved and should be given back to the mother earth for a sustainable developmental growth. Architectural Intervention for repurposing the abandoned mines land which can contribute to Indian Economy even after being closed down can only happen by giving a second life to the damaged nature. Any city requires water as a resource for its expansion and growth. From the past it can be traced that the evolution of city took place near water body. So if the water gets remediated, one can think of possible architectural interventions over such piece of land. How to remediate and what could be build is the 60% of thesis research part and rest deals with 40% architectural intervention
