The design aims to form a cocoon for the maritime cadets while developing attributes required for the profession by nurturing their experiences. The intent was to create an open atmosphere by courtyards to break out from the compact spaces of a ship. Ramps are used throughout for universal access to all parts of the campus. The Maritime Museum is a highlight establishing a landmark and thereby attracting attention from maritime enthusiasts all across. Previous Next Maritime Institute/ Veterinary Institute 7

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.

Narrative: The project intends to create a pavilion that is used as a breakout and an informal meeting space that acts as a forum for social interaction. The design started with keeping 3 factors in mind - sustainability, easy installation, and interactive space. A SPACE BECOMES A PLACE WHEN IT'S NOT ONLY MEANT FOR SPENDING TIME BUT TO RECOLLECT THE TIME SPENT IN IT. To allow the public to experience this pavilion we thought of using simple elements like structure, form and its sensitivity, light, and shadow, material and its lightness, and an element of surprise. A place that encourages healthy exchange could be done by incorporating functions like small gathering spaces that also act as an event, informal workspace, a space for recreation, lounging, and mini food stations. So we developed an assembly that requires a minimum of materials and can be tailor-made by anyone. This pavilion is meant to be agile and deployed in various sites all across the globe thus requiring a module system will require easy installation. Thus our design creates a timeless mesh. The play of light and shadow with the movement of the user creates a juxtaposition, permitting the users to reshape their own physical and architectural place through their movements inside the work.

Interaction and Activity in a natural environment is the key focus of the competition. Narrative: The tree no longer survives in its original glory, but it’s essence surely will. Taking the phrase “Life comes a full circle” a bit literally, our aim was to give an ode to the space that the tree occupied and upheld for all these years by leaving it entirely empty, for its prestige and permanence are irreplaceable. The intervention includes a circular void in place of the current plinth with the amphitheater redesigned, staying true to its name, by providing levels which sprawl along the magnanimous area while ensuring that it caters to both large groups of people coming together to celebrate different occasions and also individuals or small groups looking for their own peace and seclusion.

The architecture of torajan houses is indegenious to the region and is influenced by the different environmental and cultural factors that can be observed in the indonesian islands. The orientation and the planning of the interior spaces is highly influenced by the direction of the sunlight and the beliefs of the tribe people themselves. Even the materiality and the method used by them to adjust to the local climate has made this structure way more efficient in terms of circulation and articulation within the restricted space. Adding to this, the uniqueness of the way in which they have tackled the problems of modulating the sunlight by covering the structure in a hyperbolic roof form to providing a stilt area for the cattle and also for keeping the house at a elevated height during floods is what makes this truly an great example of vernacular architecture.
