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.

Narrative: The design process started with understanding current construction practices in CLT which consists of mainly framed and load-bearing structural systems. The major drawbacks of these systems are that they consume a lot of material (heavy solid columns), obstruct the free-flowing spaces, making the creative process of designing dependent on the structural system. The proposal put forward is to address these issues and create an innovative technique of construction that will overcome these drawbacks and not restrict the creative process of designing. This method consists of a hybrid construction method which includes the cable-stayed and framed technique, where the cable holding the beams of each floor allows to create column-free spaces and are connected to the central core unit which includes a staircase and service ducts that helps to reduce maintenance cost. Since CLT is industrial material the housing project is based on modular planning and form exploration. Here, each floor is made out of 6m×6m modules of space which allows creating the different configurations of build form. The facade showcases the aesthetics of the material. The steep sloping roof helps to deal with the heavy precipitation and huge windows provide ample sunlight.

The improved mutant of transitory traditional nomads, they travel and anchor themselves preferably in a pre-existing community with suitable infrastructure, for a desired short duration. Even though technology helps their mobility, the indigenous society and local community also play a significant role in their journey. Having the thirst of authentic tourists, they look forward to the knowledge and emotional exchange with the locals. Their give and take transactions are necessary for the human race to promote interculturality and maintain global cross-boundary relations. The Digital Nomads are certainly a boon for society. It is essential to morph these travelers within the existing local fabric. Thus, the aim of the research thesis is to define a social infrastructure that gathers and centralizes Digital Nomads by promoting chanced encounters with the pre-existing local communities. Research advances by studying community-based Business Models of ‘Zostel, we-work, Park & Play’. All work towards getting diverse communities together. The hybrid models like Unsettled (Bali), Selina (Global), Outsite (Global); have a comprehensive range of spaces and programs that not only serve all infrastructural needs of a Digital Nomad but also promote numerous exchanges with the locals. Streamlining the context of research, Worli Koliwada in Mumbai is selected as the zone for intervention. The need of the hour is to preserve the livelihood of an indigenous community that is endangered, by converting it into a sustainable community model. Amplifying the importance of these indigenous communities by developing them for tourism as they hold a factor of diverse engagement. Thus, the design proposal will house local, domestic, foreign visitors who wish to be a part of this arrangement. They will be asked to sign-up for a RENTAL MODEL, a combination of Amenities +Leisure +Engagement. A model which provides an incentive to both the parties, by providing diverse opportunities for chanced encounters. KEYWORDS: Digital Nomads, Social Infrastructure, Anchor points, Interactions, Indigenous, Unrooted, Economic Model Meshing the Binaries

Two additional tanks store borewell water for fire and flushing purposes. From here it flows to the pump room which is responsible for it reaching the overhead tank of all the wings. In each wing, four pipes carry the water from the overhead tank to the flats. These pipes have been color coded. Three of the pipes provide water to five floors each. The fourth one provides only the sixteenth floor. This has been done to maintain uniformity in the pressure at which water is being supplied to all floors. The water consumed by the entire society per day has been estimated to be 142560 liters. Approximate dimensions for the underground and overhead tanks have been determined through further calculations. Documenting water supply of own house 2

Shekoba Sanap : : : : : : : : : : : Being situated at the foothills of the Glencoe mountains in Scotland, the site offers picturesque views and extreme climatic conditions. To design something new for Netflix, what was missing from the modern office is a link to nature. The core philosophy of the design was to create an environment where people can be more creative, think more clearly, and work with freedom. The entry showcases the duo of glass spheres housing an entrance foyer and a cafeteria inside the existing structure to celebrate the Scottish architecture amidst the landscape and seating that are open to the dome. This cafeteria allows tourists as it forms a halt for people on their way to skiing. The tunnels lead the employees into the corporate and creative zone shells which become the private zones. Each of these buildings has reducing floor plates thus providing stepped terrace gardens that overlook the botanical gardens below with different kinds of seating and walkways amidst nature. The interiors have also been planned creatively. The idea is to get away from your desk and work in a park or a garden. The terraces of these buildings house swimming pools and multipurpose halls open to the sky thus having a 360-degree view. The microclimate in these domes and shells can be controlled by horticulturalists in a room below and hidden devices monitor humidity and light levels thus tackling the extreme site conditions. Thus, the structure provides its employees an informal interactive work environment and truly becomes iconic in form and function. Previous Next Corporate Den By Netflix.Inc 4

Venkat Ashok, Ar. Pradeep Pavithran : : : : : : : : : : : Colonists set up farms where lawful citizens had only one job of producing. The city had a high crime rate, and slavery was prevalent. The people of Mos Eisley were poor and had poor living conditions with negligible healthcare facilities. Although the movie showcases the advancements in technology, the lifestyle of the inhabitants was very laid back. The dwellings were mostly clay and gypsum. The challenges while designing spaces include the harsh climate of Tatooine, traditional construction methods, incorporating different scales according to the program and interventions. The core themes of the project were Gestalt's Principles of Perception, creating and exploring ambiguity between figure and ground, solid and void, novelty and history, and curiosity and recognition. An exploration in mass and void allows various levels of enclosure, openness, recognition and blending habitable and interstitial spaces creating a certain sense of transparency to improvise constructive interaction between different species living together. Varying psychologies result in respective space planning and spatial behaviours. Decoding and incorporating them with addition and subtraction in volume according to program and functionality resulted in interesting form modulations. THE INTENT: This project allowed the people of Tatooine to sell products like farm produce or spare parts of machines and robots, hence giving them a source of income. Since slavery is prevalent in the city, slave quarters have been provided with workshop areas to provide a means of living and sell their machine alternate slaves (robots) to the owner and get their freedom.

Understanding the strength and weakness of darkseekers , Guggenheim museum satisfies the site selection criteria. The values like boldness , organicness , complexness and major axis guides the overall design . The approach is on structural additions of bold expressive forms which has unperceivable functionality which adds hidden characteristics providing unique characteristics of spaces. Hre the form of the spaces reflects the functional behavior of the user. The boldness and organicness can also be expressed in terms of the materials as incorporated. The rangers , the scientist and the agriculturist occupy the structure according to their maximum advantage , the structure reflects the personality of the persons and they react according to the functionality and spaces required to them to remain camouflaged at night while also creating a cohesive relationship between the users. Thus adaptive reuse of the structure also looks at fast construction technology and sustainability standards for the on site fulfillment. Previous Next I am Legend

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

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.

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.
