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.

A wandering sheep seen by Jill, On her way to get water from the hill. To the pasture, she returned it, While jack she saw across the street. Jack and Jill went up the hill, While the shepherd with his sheep away, To fetch a pail of water. Went to the shrine, in hopes to pray. He saw marauder jack atop the hill, And thought, jack was the one to steal. They brawled, jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after. The shepherd watched jack die, With tears in his eye. The only words he could hear Jill say, “It was I, who put the sheep away.” Previous Next Implicating Shephard

Archaeologist’s routine sparked with action, This Filled jack with desperation, They could be linked in a common endeavour, But both of them were never seen together. So, Jack and Jill went up the hill, To fetch a pail of water, Secrets were revealed by his will, But shocked, Jill came tumbling after. Jack fell down and broke his crown, Said Jack herself without a frown, The crown matched with the archaeologist without struggle, Like a piece of jigsaw puzzle. The Archaeologist Who once lived in the body of someone else, She now knew herself. Previous Next Implicating Jack

But with Jack, my pal, I planned a heist, So this thirst of sight could be free. Is that Jack and Jill i hear!? Oh God! Jill knows about our crime! But it shocked me more when i heard Jack say "It was the priest, I didn't take a dime." My betrayed soul stumbled upon a rock, And rolled it down with the strength I did gather. Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after. Carefully stepping down I heard Jack's moans, Which led me towards the poisonous lake Fed him that death dealing water 'cause Oh lord! It was for this blind man's sake! Rolled him in the lake after scooping out his eyes, Hoped to see the world again before i died. When I said "Jack and Jill went up the hill, To fetch a pail of water", I lied.

The client brief proposed the various hobbies and interests of the four members which were to be fulfilled whilst they enjoy their long vacation there. They also wanted the architecture to harmonize with its surroundings. The entire concept focuses on the valley of wellness and the curve of tea cultivation around, as well as its advantages, learnings, leisure, community engagement, and revenue generation. As a result, we have incorporated activities like health spas and hot springs that may be conducted outside, contributing to well-being along with yoga and meditation in the open. Tea cultivation and green gardens are designed for the well-being of the people involved on-site, and the family members, as this wellness is planned for humans via nature and for nature by humans.

Narrative: The aim of the project is to provide a Villa for a family of four while allowing them to work from home by designing architecture that seamlessly blends with the rural fabric of Kerala, rather than fracturing it but adding to it. The project responds to the site by including local involvement in functions incorporated on the site, thus strengthening the bond formed by the new residents with the locals. The project is intended to assist the four new inhabitants in gradually acclimating to their new surroundings without upsetting the local population, history, custom, or climate. “Samantar” seamlessly merges with its surroundings as the structure itself merges into the site topography running parallel to the proximal circumstances. The hierarchy of spaces is choreographed such that the private, semi private and public spaces remain well distinct and none of them is disturbed by the other. The orientation of the functions are to maximize light and wind flow and minimize heat to cope up with the humidity on site for which courtyards are an ideal element to passively design zones for maximization of light yet cool spaces adopted traditionally in most Keralan houses also enhancing indoor outdoor relationship.

Jay Mali : : : : : : : : : : : Recently shifted from Istanbul to Goa, Rucha lives in a 1 BHK apartment with her husband Emir who is a cardiologist and her ten-year-old daughter Tansa. Catering to the various needs of the family, the design incorporates a modern- minimalist approach. The monochromatic color scheme gives off light and earthy vibes and the use of blues and greens in the form of textures and plants add a pop of color to the space. The use of different textures like brick cladding in the living room, reflective surfaces like mirrors and the wooden flooring and beadboard ceiling help break the monotony and accentuate certain features of the space. Further the beadboard ceiling in the living room adds a cosy and modern look. The design incorporates an open space layout with the kitchen counter and the bookcase acting as a separating element creating workspaces for tansa and Rucha. The design contains line furnishings, flushed cabinets and space saving minimalist furniture that are well-built and comfortable. The corner seating for reading, well designed balcony spaces with mesh walls for gardening, coffee table, use of Turkish rugs, foldable table for playing board games, a separate bookcase and wall display for showcasing antiques responds to the specific needs of the client. Additionally, the use of décor elements inspired from geometric patterns and the wall hanging planters add a touch of character to the space. A minimalist Expression

Sulakshana Bhanushali, Ar. Nitesh Avhad : : : : : : : : : : : Understanding the acoustic needs of the spaces , first the levels have been raised as we move away from the board for a clearer sight and view and better hearing levels at each point . The arrangement of the students is done in compact seating to minimize the distance by providing the advantage of reduced volume and increasing the acoustic experience of the room along with the recessed false ceiling. Thus at the end of the room , the buffer space acts as a barrier during the lectures due to window curtains , furniture and creates a buffer space . The side walls are having the absorption values so that the reverberation of the sound does not take place. The front wall of the room has a reflective surface so that the sound can reflect and travel to the maximum distance while the ceiling has both reflection and absorption values to balance out the acoustic standards of the room. Thus from reflection to absorption, different materials are used across the room to create an acoustically good room . 8mm acoustic panels are suspended from the ceiling through hanger wire and attached to the metal grid and are also cladded to the walls on the wooden battens .

The basics of the narrative took a lot of inspiration from grid based layouts and arrangements to start off the planning process. Adding and subtracting surfaces was a difficult task in itself because while designing you have to make sure that every surface which is added or subtracted has a good reason behind it or else the program isn't justified.

Venkat Asho, Ar. Pradeep Pavithran : : : : : : : : : : : Institutions are the kinds of structures the deeply matter in the social realm, since they structure social interactions, and their efficient design can usefully constrain and enable human behaviour. The main highlight of the design is that it is predominantly user - centric. The site is adjacent to a communal Waadi, where people with various skill sets and experience stay. The approach of the design was to create common lower floors, with metal and cloth workshops to welcome the people of the Waadi to enhance and showcase the skill, whilst using the equipment of the institute, but also sharing their skills with the students, who also benefit. The institution thus proposed is a school for fashion designing, cloth fabrication, product design and art, which require similar equipment. Additionally, the use of legible spaces to enable users to navigate clearly, the design of double - heighted, open classrooms to facilitate the process of learning and applying in connected studios and classrooms, and the application of light and colours, taking into consideration the time of the day, to create spaces which are sensitive to functions in rooms are some of the principal highlights of the design.

Narrative: Two designs selected for the final representation. One of them is Slack, which is an App and it’s abbreviation is ‘Searchable Log of all Conversations & Knowledge’. The core intent of the app is teamwork through communication and the functions were ‘Assigning Tasks’ & ‘Organising Data’, these components were assessed with the help of color coded cubes ( Red , Green , Yellow) that directed the Movement and accessibility to the user in a systematic attire. The other project elaborated on an accommodation Space in synchronization with the Persona of Harry Potter and his Dual personality within two worlds- Muggle and Wizard world, throughout the storyline, wherein the transition amidst the two lifestyles have been viewed with the help of distinctive systematic grids , semi-open enclosures formed via foldable and replaceable lamina and binding elements called Poles. The narrative showcases directive movement, interaction and connection amidst two different worlds, both ushered via a systematic grid distinctive to the respective worlds and their functioning idols. By clubbing both the elements from the two design concepts, the resultant grid patterns interact with the play of transparency and circulation following the color-coded units and components.
