A structure that is developed from the architectural roots of the place and developed with a modern approach - creating a space for the office. This structure would be a part of the overall development of the Island hence the creation of an iconic structure that will be the catalyst for the Bold move was the aim. While considering the urban fabric, micro points such as user study, site responsive design, was taken into consideration leading to a perfect blend of the architecture. Massing was finalized based on the site response. Play of volumes was established for the creation of a healthy environment. A massive staircase was built that connects the entire elevation and is colored with Red- emphasizing the bold movement. The spaces were defined and placed apart creating a walkable distance from the adjacent buildings. These transitional zones are integrated with immense views of the surroundings.

Shruti Barve : : : : : : : : : Landscape in an urban environment is quickly depleting, especially in the city of Mumbai. There are very patches, where one would encounter them, and even rarer are those where the built and unbuilt coexist to create a beautiful ecosystem. On these lines, a street showcasing these characteristics was chosen in South Bombay. This is an important street which connects the Marine Drive to Oval Maidan, and Cricket Club of India (CCI) as well. The vegetation has not been disturbed and allowed to grow in its natural way. This project focuses on understanding the relationship between these 2 ecosystems, their advantages and drawbacks. I have made a few observations of how vegetation helps in affecting the quality of space, light, living, textures ,etc. Previous Next Dinshaw Vaccha Road Documentation

The site is adjacent to the eastern coast of Mumbai, in between the docks of Mazgaon. The micro context where the site sits has peculiar buildings, typically of the Mumbai port trust. The design looks at how a maritime campus should also be accommodating healing–serving functions as well as mental needs. The idea was to give the institute its character and privacy in a dominating industrial context that trains cadets to be thoroughly qualified in their skill sets for the harsh seas. The spaces needed a physical quality that would shape a cadet's personality, physical strength, sense of readiness, theoretical and practical knowledge by emphasizing their connection to the sea, a never-ending source of wonder, inspiration, and hope.

Narrative: Design-a-muse competition is aimed at visualising an abstract art as a three-dimensional form. It began from understanding a 20th century abstract art style, choosing any one artform from it and extruding its essence in a structure. Suprelion is a public installation inspired by the Suprematist painting ‘The 18th Construction’. Emotions are evoked by colours and textures- this is the principle used in suprematism and thus the painting selected. Each part of the installation invokes a distinct feeling when approached visually or physically. These feelings are inspired from the components in the painting. ‘The 18th construction‘ is a completely abstract painting that is open for interpretation while following the principles.

These visual boundaries are perceived for their nature, character, construct, materiality, and function. They enclose Space. Studying the various aspects of these visual boundaries and their organization has led us to begin to perceive the basic constructs of space and the relationship it possesses to the movement of various bodies in space. In the due course of observing and recognizing we stumble upon various organizational constructs of field, space, and movement documented through photographs and drawings. We perceived and analyzed the organization and construct of field and space and the resulting movement of the body in the particular field of space through the construction of diagrams, maps, and models.

Anshu Choudhari, Ar. Amit Jain : : : : : : : : : : : The project given to us was to design a House for our own Family on the site of Vihar Lake, Powai, Mumbai. This designed house, ‘THE HOUSE OF CURVES’, is a structural framework of curves amalgamating into one another. The compositional approach chosen is 'Tight Cluster Units'. The transition into the house is choreographed to be in a curved fashion and is open to the sky so that the user can experience the landscape around. This curved path also instigates intrigue within the setup. Such intrigue is also seen through the helical staircase which is closed from one side and open on the other. On the first floor, the user has to walk through a ramp to reach rooms that have glass roofs. The user can see the landscape through that roof while walking and hence is allowed to experience nature.
