Shweta Sonakia : : : : : : : : : The story is an account of Bheem’s exploration in the sublime landscape of Yaksha Kingdom by the Alaknanda river in the Himalayas, blessed with the divineness of the lord of wealth, Kubera. The story involved varied landscape settings, from the wild dense forests to the elegant gardens and opulent caves. These descriptions added a strong visual quality to the story, serving as background to adventure, awe, love, and power. The transitions in the flora throughout the journey highlight the multiplicity and ruggedness balanced with the beauty of the lesser Himalayas and the Alaknanda river basin. The playful topography of dense Khirsu forests consist of the tall deodar trees, the flowers in the valleys, and the still covered pond-formed. The perceived order of the manicured garden and the formation of the cave palace shows the richness that landscapes of mythology embody. Previous Next Where Saugandhika Grows….

The Faroe Islands' Netflix corporate den must transform the meaning of work for its employees by enabling new architectural identities, changing workspace attributes, a collaborative atmosphere, and offering opportunities for socio-cultural exchange. 'The Faroe frame' takes a twofold approach to be an Icon, paying homage to the Faroe region's socio-physical characteristics in every dimension conceivable, whether through the "Form that frames," the "Facade that reflects," the "Podium that connects," or the "Bridge that invites". Internally, the architecture takes inspiration from the geology of the Faroe Islands itself to create a space that flows like a continuous landscape at various levels, connected by intermittent bridges and staircases, with multi-level atriums and stepped spaces that create a sense of dynamism and community in the users.

KV Parmeshwar srishtik20@aoamumbai.in Studio Conductors Ar.K.V Parmeshwar : : : : : : : : : : : Steel reinforcement gives a concrete structure the stability it needs. Steel and concrete act together to increase the structure's strength that withstands the induced forces. The exercise conducted was to verify this theory. Here, two similar concrete slabs were made. Wire mesh, which acts as a reinforcement, is added in one of the concrete slabs, and the other one remains without it. These slabs are then dropped from a height of 5 feet where the reinforced slab remained intact, whereas the other one shattered into fragments. This activity proves that the steel provides the tensile strength needed for the concrete and secures the construction firmly. P.O.P: trials to assess

Narrative: The painting selected for the brief is 'Triptych Speed'. It is a series of 3 paintings made by artist Gerardo Dottori as part of the futurism art movement. Dottori's work is characterized by the use of strong colors, especially red and blue placed against a range of landscape greens that underscore the sense of rapid flight. The use of a splintered, dynamic vocabulary of form evokes an intoxicating sense of speed. 'Triptych speed' is a classic example of the same. Done in three parts, it represents the beginning, the path and the arrival. At first glance, the structure appears quite brazen which overwhelms the user as does the painting. But a closer look will make one realize the simplicity of its navigation. An enormous entrance greets the user which leads to an open to sky area. This coupled with the semi circular trusses make the spatial quality quite celebratory and public. The structure further leads to a semi covered area with a tinted glass skylight. Light plays an important role in the painting which has been reflected in the structure as well. The structure ends with a narrow opening giving one the sense of exclusivity while they come out.

Thereafter each group was given an item from the garbage which was then to be translated into an infographic. We followed the journey of a simple matchbox from manufacturing to disposal. The infographic consists of the entire lifecycle of matchbox particularly- SHIP matches, right from manufacturing to disposal. The process starts with matchstick and matchbox manufacturing. Thereafter comes the stacking and packaging of matchbox.After packaging the matchboxes are ready for distribution at wholesalers and retailers. The graphic also speaks about the afterlife of the matchbox along with the entire history of SHIP safety matches. Analyzing the various steps that a simple matchbox goes through before ending up in our garbage made us realize the importance of every minute thing that we use and discard without a second thought.

Narrative: The design aims at offering a spatial experience to the clients and a creative work environment for the designers while also acting as a perfect hub for cultural exchange in the form of exhibitions, art festivals, and recreational space for the surrounding commercial hub and IT offices. A studio is like a home to a designer hence in our design we have treated the container like micro-living units. We wanted to restore Baner’s status as an agricultural city amidst the rapidly growing concrete jungle by incorporating botany such that it becomes a part of their daily routine and calms their senses at the same time. The intent was to create a flexible work environment that provides interaction among the designers in every part of the studio. The different spaces are tailored around a central courtyard which acts as a workspace full of natural atmosphere and flexibility. The journey of the client through the studio also revolves around this courtyard which is represented as a Storyboard. A Storyboard is a collection of cells that each depicts an image and together narrate a journey. Creating storyboards helps developers to think through a process in a step-by-step manner allowing them to design streamlined user experience. Likewise, while understanding the work culture, we also wanted the clients to be a part of this journey of developing a product right from the first stage to the final prototype.

Interaction and Activity in a natural environment is the key focus of the competition. Narrative: The Amphitheatre is a fusion of various departments. The design provides a space where all the students come to unwind and just be themselves. To make it lively, the space is equipped with a musical niche with pre-installed instruments like a foot piano, a clap box and a xylophone. A watchtower stands in the middle of the amphitheatre, encompassing the banyan tree, giving the students a panoramic view of the space. The place is littered with crescent-shaped stools, and their retractable nature prevents them from being an obstacle. The college logo is seen in the form of a seating area, bordering the walls. It's the perfect spot for relaxing with the overview of the banyan tree, and it makes an excellent background for pictures. The logo is bordered with an LED lighting which compels you to stay and extend the experiential nature of the place.

A structure that is developed from the architectural roots of the place and developed with a modern approach - creating a space for the office. This structure would be a part of the overall development of the Island hence the creation of an iconic structure that will be the catalyst for the Bold move was the aim. While considering the urban fabric, micro points such as user study, site responsive design, was taken into consideration leading to a perfect blend of the architecture. Massing was finalized based on the site response. Play of volumes was established for the creation of a healthy environment. A massive staircase was built that connects the entire elevation and is colored with Red- emphasizing the bold movement. The spaces were defined and placed apart creating a walkable distance from the adjacent buildings. These transitional zones are integrated with immense views of the surroundings.

Shruti Barve : : : : : : : : : Landscape in an urban environment is quickly depleting, especially in the city of Mumbai. There are very patches, where one would encounter them, and even rarer are those where the built and unbuilt coexist to create a beautiful ecosystem. On these lines, a street showcasing these characteristics was chosen in South Bombay. This is an important street which connects the Marine Drive to Oval Maidan, and Cricket Club of India (CCI) as well. The vegetation has not been disturbed and allowed to grow in its natural way. This project focuses on understanding the relationship between these 2 ecosystems, their advantages and drawbacks. I have made a few observations of how vegetation helps in affecting the quality of space, light, living, textures ,etc. Previous Next Dinshaw Vaccha Road Documentation
