Each facade was designed keeping in mind the weather conditions, comfort, and requirements of the users. This exercise highlighted how passive architecture adapts to its surroundings as well as the material, form, and fenestrations, to eliminate the need for mechanical heating and ventilation.

The reverberation time for the classroom is around that of 1 second so accordingly the materials were selected which are fibreboard panels and gypsum boards. Even the lighting elements were a factor which was considered while designing. The acoustic ceiling is made up of moulded gypsum panels and suspended acoustic tiles which were designed keeping in mind the seating of the 40 students inside the classroom . The calculation of absorption sabines according to the conditions were also done in relation to the materials and furniture. Reverb hall

Previous Next Academy's Alcove (Winner) Email Semester Competition Name Student Name Prajakta Pai Vardhan Arora DAC - Amphikshetra- Rethinking Amphitheatre Area IV prajaktap19@aoamumbai.in vardhana19@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : Competition Brief: Academy's Recess proposes the generation of architectural ideas for outdoor activities for the institution's amphitheatre area while retaining the original functionality of the space. Interaction and Activity in a natural environment is the key focus of the competition. Narrative: The proposed design intervention at the Academy’s Amphitheatre aims to enhance the quality of space, student-faculty interaction, and at the same time provide a soothing space for all. The current issues existing in the amphitheater are the lack of seating spaces and the deterioration of the overall quality due to lack of maintenance and some spaces being used for dumping or storage of unwanted materials/objects. The initial thought was to redesign the seating around the tree which has been an integral part of the institution’s history. The new proposed seating is expanded a bit radially and notches have been made to accommodate more people to sit. The plinth is designed as free flowing space which is symbolic to liberal and free minds of the students. This space will allow for more interaction between the students and faculty at the time of lectures or discussions.The proposed canopy over the plinth is to provide a shade so that it can be used throughout the day.The canopy is to be made from paper tubes coated with wax which are supported by a steel frame.

Rohit Karekar ameyat19@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : : : We often complain about the waste around us But, do we put in efforts to make a change? The narrative starts with the government making a rule of not collecting decomposable waste from the societies. This automatically forces the societies to develop their waste management mechanism and curate byproducts functional and self-sufficient to them. This would reduce the tremendous load on the existing system. The proposal further discusses tripartite and quadra-partite dustbins, toilets open to the public managed by individual societies, biogas domes, etc. it attempts to bring a shift in the attitude of the privileged and the ignorance of the unprivileged. Monthly fests, markets, and subsidies by the government would play a key element in putting this proposal in place. Self Sufficient Selves

Encounters jack around the berry farm; strangely unusual, Conspiring to catch that familiar stalker. "Let's climb up the hill", muttered Jill Knowing they would be followed by one who sought her; And so Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water. Waiting for the stalker to be found, Abruptly, a man gushes; followed by a disaster, Jack falls down and breaks his crown, Jill comes tumbling after. Waking up feeling dizzy as ever, Finding the strange berries around Gaining his senses however, "I wonder why are my hands red and brown?" Previous Next Implicating Industrialist

Amey Ghosalkar : : : : : : : : : : : The National Institute of Faith Leadership (NIFL) is an Islamic institution of education, research, dialogue and introspection, with a bold vision of questioning today’s interpretation of Architecture and how it addresses faith! The campus is envisaged as an ecosystem to evolve and modernize Islam, to reiterate traditional values that are relevant in contemporary times and reposition them in a secular, plural and national context. The basic form of this object on site is mass with a hole. A courtyard that allows light into the building as it celebrates the introverted magnificence of an Islamic institution. The breaking of the arch is synonymous with the opening of the mind from myths and traditions. The iconic entrance is celebrating just that; an arch in concrete removes the ‘key stone’ to liberate the form, allowing in light and space. The building consists of basic geometrical forms but their sheer volumes create a bold architectural impression. The labor force for the construction of the building comprised the followers of the client Mahmood Madani's preaching from the neighboring village. National Institute Of Faith And Leadership (NIFT)

What Antonio wished to bring about as well as the needs of Marinetti were very Youth centred. What they didn’t realize is that multiple Generations exist at the given time frame. If architecture evolves with the needs of the people, then all the generations should be considered. We Believe that “ One must Design for the Present, Acknowledging the Past and Being Responsible for the Future”. Also, Architecture needs to have a connection with the people and not just merely exist. They can be living creatures. Dynamism can not only be achieved through form but also by the way the building is interacting with the people at multiple levels. Every individual develops an emotional bond with a building and hence the buildings should also respond in that way. This led us developing the manifesto of Supplementary futurism which talks about “Supplements' ' which can enhance the existing built and unbuilt spaces and can be of a better value to the society.

We woke up to a cheerful summer morning, And walked up the hill to cure our urge to wander. There we saw Jack and Jill going up the hill To fetch a pail of water. We saw Jack mistreat Jill, I waited and looked into the matter. But when Jill let out disturbing shrill, In Jack, all we saw was our barbaric father. I was poised but she lost control And what came after was slaughter. 'She wanted his scrambled brain' claimed the abused daughter. Next morning with a clean slate, all I could say- "Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after." I looked into mirror at my bruises, she grinned at me. I was her and she was me.

Narrative: The city of Jaipur is known for its architecture, which is dominated by the Indian Vastu ideologies. In response to the brief, we designed a coworking and co-living space that provides guests with both a modern and traditional Jaipur stay. The construction is designed in such a way that the exterior will fascinate the Jaipuri sandstone jali look, while the interior will offer the individual a nice, warm, homely feeling through the use of modern interior design and homely internal décor of the dorms, 2 bhks, and loft apartments. We designed the structure with passive cooling measures in mind, and we included a wind tower as a natural venting agent. All of the spaces were designed with the Vastu and Jaipur regulations in mind. The outward appearance is simple yet Jaipuri; the use of graffiti on the outer facade symbolizes a free-spirited lifestyle with no restrictions, resulting in joyous behavior. Simple but enthralling!!

Shruti Barve : : : : : : : : : : : The main objective behind this particular design was to have something which will have some sort of openness to it showing the expressive nature of the different types of users around it as well as the design should fundamentally cover all the basics regarding the surrounding interactions and also the shading and circulation,etc. There were a lot of varieties of grids to work with regarding the initial concept. Breaking down the narrative furthermore helped me to understand the relations of the grids with the developed narrative. Formal grids and multiform grids were the ones with which I decided to move ahead. The basic aspect to express my narrative was to have open access and seatings on most of the sides so that there's no crowded spots in the design and also to have a minimal but effective approach in terms of the design. The tree plantation and the overall landscaping was an important aspect to look at because of the existing college. The windows facing on the front side were to be noted because the overall plantation moved around it. Here the thought was to place trees which will work out as a canopy providing shade to the users.

Aniruddha Nafrey : : : : : : : : : : : The experience centre is planned to be extremely legible and wall – free, such that every space can be clearly understood and accessible from every point in the space, making it more convenient for functioning. However, it is essential to divide spaces as well for carrying out various activities and functions. Small, eye – level partitions are used to divide spaces, and columns are used as demarcators of spaces. White is highly welcoming to visitors, and gives a very sleek and modern look to an office space. As a result, alucabond is intensively used to clad the interiors. Artifical greenery is used to make the space more peaceful and welcoming, and it blends well with the natural light from the atrium. The planning of the space is also done by understanding the way a user would use the space, providing maximum legibility, efficiency and ease of movement, a better experience as well as maximum privacy to the office users. On the other hand, the 2BHK is designed with an organic theme. The shelves and storages are designed in a honey – comb shape, and partitions are inspired from the honey – comb structure as well. The lighting is inspired from organic shapes as well, and wood as a material is used commonly. The shades of brown, cream and yellow are predominant in the interiors. Experiencing Centre
