The mobile phone contains few individual parts namely an antenna, LCD, keyboard, microphone, speaker, battery and most important circuit board. Hearing all this sounds very fancy but there is also a darker side to this. To find the material required for the parts the mobile phone companies involve a malpractice of child labor at various mines, one of them being the cobalt mines in Congo and only give the labourers subsistence wages for their work. The material required for the phone is sourced from all over the world. After the use of phone for a certain year the phone is recycled to a certain extent. The companies sent the metal part to the Melter melts the metals; precious metals are recovered while the other metals are burnt which led to carbon emission. So, the mobile phone actually costs a lot apart from its price What Is The Actual Cost Of Mobile Phone?

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.

Having the advantage of choosing a client, fitness instructor Sonia, was chosen by me. Her routine posed intriguing as she would inculcate teaching Zumba while also being continually working towards building her career as a nutritionist. Teaching dance to people, who would then also come to her house while also reaching out to dance enthusiasts across video meets, this house needed to be versatile and contribute to her various needs. Nonetheless, she would also give consultations in person or over telecommunication. Such varied interests and the need for space led to the thinking of flexible furniture. When put across as a metaphor, it also reflects in the sectional elevation, where the lighting is through red sleeky rods, which conform to the immediate surface and surface elements put on walls. As an influencer, she promotes her interests across platforms hence the elevations were supposed to compliment her new-age self. Welcoming guests and family often, she also reflected as a family-oriented person, moreover being away from the hustle of urban life, led the design patterns to integrate subtle hints of goan traditional patterns. Nonetheless, the design is kept modern through pastel usage. Conformity In Statics

K.V.Parmeshwar : : : : : : : : : : : The objective of the project was to detail and resolve in Structural Steel, a part of the School building (designed in RCC). The brief of redesigning a concrete structure in Steel was challenging. The use of steel sections was done considering the functions of the selected areas. The foundation is of Reinforced Cement Concrete footing. The stilt area in the ground floor has cylindrical columns (fixed onto the concrete pedestals) to reduce the risk of injury to the children while they play and interact in the space. The slab is made up of ISMB Sections used as beams, joists and binders, steel decking sheets and RCC, making it a composite slab. The first floor has box sections as columns for classroom spaces and cylindrical sections for corridors. A steel staircase connects the two levels which expands when it approaches the first floor. The roof being butterfly shaped required the use of a truss which has been designed using angle sections, along with roofing sheets and a gutter at the valleys to facilitate easy drainage of rainwater. A Steel and Glass railing protects the students from falling of the corridors while having minimum compromise on the view. Use of steel makes the structure lightweight and easier to construct than RCC. Structural drawings in steel 3

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

Changing needs of society, scarcity of material and environmental impact of producing and demolishing buildings are significant considerations for the designers throughout the world. Buildings today need to be perceived as impermanent and as material banks for the future. By adopting the outlook of impermanence, a building can be designed to reduce waste and use materials efficiently at all stages (construction, operation and end of life) as it addresses possible changes in circumstances. An impermanent outlook to architecture compels us to think of resource minimization, optimization and management. Obsolescence is inevitable, but its effects can be softened by designing buildings that are flexible and that consider the end of life. Such buildings are not only beneficial to the environment and future generations but also the purse of the present user. The dissertation states that sustainability lies in considering the embodied energy and operational energy of the building and its components. The building uses lesser resources throughout its lifespan by designing an efficient structure, climate efficient design, flexible planning to address change, detachable and reusable components, and reducing maintenance by separating different functional spaces and components of the building. After reduce, a building should be designed with the objectives of reuse and recycle in mind. Here material selection and joining become of paramount importance. The design focuses on using and detailing materials that can easily be reused or recycled at the end of the building's or components life to ensure a reduction in waste and optimization of resources for future generations. For this aspect vast research of various materials and their life cycle impact was studied and applied.

Narrative: The proposal is a prison with the idea of Rehabilitation and not Imprisonment. This particular module is designed specifically to isolate these prisoners from everyone. The site is in a completely distant area.Isolation leads to self-introspection and helps recreate their identity. Community living helps them to live around people and this new culture will help them adjust to normalcy later in life. Practising self-sufficiency like farming, cooking, cleaning will help them become independent and various other activities allow them to explore their interests. By reimagining such a facility, the structure exposes the users to a visual treat of the horizon, above water and below water. The multifaceted and dynamic form of the structure has been inspired by human swimming, how the balance and the movement in the structure have been done using alternate massing and motion. The courtyard has been provided to allow inmates to fish from within the structure negating the risk of escape. The use of scanning passages reduces the workload of the guards. Considering the encouragement of the inmates in various activities and duties of guards, the structure is made self-sustainable by the users themselves. In order to avoid tracking the inmates and avoiding their escapes, the structure is always in motion.

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!!

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.
