This group analysed the activities performed with a gym ball. The grooves on the ball improves its grip. This is an important aspect for the convenience of the user while he tries to balance on it. Similarly, the smoothness of the surface has been designed strategically to achieve a certain ease of movement on the floor. This said ease of movement will also vary with respect to the flooring underneath. The ball has multiple uses from fun activities and exercises to medical treatment.

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.

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.

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.
