In such a case, how can a physical space be made more diversified and useful to living creatures in order to foster an intimate relationship between space, its users and the city as a whole? This thesis seeks to investigate the potential of urban built environment as a medium for build a synergial life-space-technology relationship. To utilize the synergy between the physical realities and digital existence to make spaces for the living, to promote accessibility to the medium and creating a cohesive city Identity. This will be achieved – By establishing public spaces that can enhance the living mind and engage people on multiple levels. By allowing the user to define their own spaces. By integrating the experiences of the digital to the physical. By instilling a sense of public space in its true sense, and by allowing living creatures to interact with the built environment through various mediums. Existential Dimorphism: Digital existence x Physical realities

Rishi Vora, Ar. Mehul Sanghvi : : : : : : : : : : : Acting is a dynamic and creative profession which calls for socialization and interaction with varied people , surroundings , and even our own selves. Nature follows guidelines similar to that of Evolution such that a species lifecycle through generations tallies with an ASPIRING ACTOR’S journey. It can be observed that both, a species or a newbie have to ADAPT to the new cultural environment which may or may not be in accordance with their comfort. Herein, EVOLUTION plays its role. The initial struggles and efforts of the artist are accompanied with a number of anecdotes that provide exposure to the art of understanding and evolving with respect to the demands of diverse roles , which is then followed by SELF IDENTIFICATION of his/her SUITABILITY towards a genre after multiple trials, as every actor is not suitable for every role, but SPECIFIC to one . In both cases it is an EXPLORATIVE process wherein both REJECTION and SELECTION occurs. Complying to the above factors, an evolutionary form should not only aim towards accepting the persona of the user but also rejecting inefficient traits in order to flourish the Suitability of the artist with respect to his/her Self- Identification in the profession , this can also be viewed with the lens of Discipline.

The advent of steel beams, Sections enabled architects to widen their frame of imagination. The mechanical properties of steel; Simplicity in use and its speed of construction makes steel versatile as Structural material. The intent of the project was to explore Steel as a construction material for the design of a school. To simplify the learning process only the Admin blocks, Dining block, 4 classrooms, and a toilet block was to be detailed. The admin-Dining has a common vault roof. This is structurally resolved by designing trusses perpendicular to the direction of the vault. These Vierendeel trusses enable a larger clear span. The columns are made up of ISWB 300 sections and are encased in concrete. The corridors and the classrooms have a system of bowstring trusses that support the arch-shaped roofs.

Narrative: The lives of the population living in underdeveloped rural areas face severe threats due to the poorly developed health infrastructure. These villages and remote areas rarely see good doctors and proper medication. During pandemic there are no proper testing and quarantine centres. The client is a physician who goes for the treatment of people living in remote villages. He sets up a clinic in a village for a day. In a week he goes to around 4-5 villages. The client is a physician who moves from one village to another on a daily basis, so there is a need for proper shelter. The HO(MEd) provides him the basic structure for living along with his workspace (his clinic). With all the spaces planned within 300 sq. ft within a shipping container having mobility provides basic requirements of house and workspace to the client. In case of pandemic , remote villages don’t have proper access to testing and quarantine facilities. The proposed design then can act as an isolation ward and testing center by using it as a modular unit.

Narrative: The Designer’s Square is aimed at creating a dynamic studio with an amalgamation of formal and informal spaces within a minimal area. The user interaction with the site is comprehended by distinguishing public and private zones by incorporating indigenous Wada architecture in the form of space orientation; inclusion of courtyards, terraces, and openings. The playful patterns at the entrance of the café develop an intriguing fascination amongst the road commuters. Its vibrant interiors and lush green courtyards enliven the interiors. An innovative staggering is adopted instead of the typical stacking of containers developing cantilevered closed spaces and open terraces as informal discussion spaces. The landscape mates with the form and creates dramatic pause points for one to contemplate and work alongside the green scapes enclosed within large openings. In addition to reusing the shipping containers, the project utilizes recyclable materials to boost sustainability. Installations of discarded glass bottles, which can be designed by regular visitors of the cafe; in conjunction with seatings made of car tires and cane, while the use of bicycle wheels creates an inviting roof for the pavilion. Timber frames, steel, and glass assimilates with the corrugated form of the container and also blend with the design.

The design emphasizes being user-centric, creating two major types of landscape- recreational and commercial We have considered a family of three and a housekeeper as the users of the site. The meandering pathway from the center goes through stepping stones on the river. Taking a few stone steps we reach the labyrinth that is an open contemplating space surrounded by a thick grove of trees. The lotus pond is a water feature harnessing the nature water line on site that acts as an interesting element along the pathway that ends in a labyrinth. The naturopathy center is approached from a pathway that is also designed as a part reflexology pathway. The reflexology pathway is made up of different varying textures to induce an intended therapy of walking barefooted on the ground. The pathway is lined with medicinal shrubs and trees like tulsi, amla, and other medicinal plants. The specialty of these pathways is that they have plant islands in between inducing an interesting movement. Design of a residential landscape 1

Sanjay Mehta : Studio Conductors : : : Video Links : The word ‘play’ is defined as a meaningful act that is carried out for its own sake with its fundamental motive being the experience it affords. Some facets of play are evidently depicted in projects with comparatively good budgets and freedom of space but as the restrictions get more imposing, the projects tend to become more utilitarian, and ‘playful’ designing is not given enough priority. This study approached an understanding of play and focused on comparatively analyzing the built and lived spaces of slum rehabilitation societies in Mumbai. Then by utilizing the findings in the architectural setting of social housing in Rizvi Residency, Santacruz, this project aimed to express the needs of the users through the design process by reinterpreting mundane everyday spaces and objects. Social housing has been reinterpreted in terms of user engagement and their voluntary participation in the choice of their own home where units were designed on the basis of occupancy with users having a choice in their space requirements. Healthy living is promoted with ample courts to provide each unit with light and ventilation with creating spaces assimilating social living outside of individual homes to establish community interactions and holistic living.

Two slabs of P.O.P mixture of same dimensions were made.In one of the slabs wire mesh was added such that it is not seen from any side and both the slabs look identical.After the mixture was set and the slabs were completely dry,they were dropped from a height of 5 feet approximately. Through this experiment it was concluded that the reinforced slab (compression and tension balanced) has high strength compared to an unreinforced slab due to which the breakage of reinforced slab is less than that of unreinforced slab.
