We began by doing the site analysis, then we tried to analyse our family character and found some keywords that was best suited. Then we converted these keywords into spatial diagrams, which were further developed to create different forms. After which we finalised the form and the materials. At this stage we looked at different ways to represent our drawings. Simultaneously we were designing the interior spaces for the living area and the eating area. The final out come was a family house that makes you feel secure and at peace. It compels you to connect with the surroundings and experience it thoroughly even before you reach the vicinity of the house itself. Previous Next The Flourishing House

Dhaval Jain : : : : : : : : : : : The enclosure of the port, the shoreline and the cityscape of Beirut was leading to a social unrest among the people of Beirut. The aim is to create a new cityscape that offers the citizens an ownership of the place by creating permeable spaces that can be used to house all sorts of social activities to increase social bonding and unity. This can help people to locate the port from the city as well as from the shore. The design of the Beirut Port is based on the main idea of making it human centric and aims to establish a relationship between what is lost and the remains of the explosion, which will help in giving a new identity to the port. The intent is to use architecture as a medium to foster the economy. The programs are mainly divided into two parts : The port and the public programs. In the public sector, Maritime institute is introduced in order to increase the awareness of the functioning of the port and to provide employment along with the residential institute with the language of using terraces and kinetic facade to help in increasing the sociability of the structure.

He has also focused on minimalist lines and drew on the tension between everyday activities. The design process involved getting to know the client by analyzing his artworks and taking note of his background and lifestyle. These observations were manifested through a small set of diagrams and sketches, which aided the overall design process. A few explorative models helped to arrive at a particular form. These resulted in the final design. The studio brings about fluidity through dominant geometry, which can also be perceived among the various drawings by the artist. It also reflects a minimalistic approach and a sense of openness. Previous Next Habitat Minimal

Yagnik Bathija : : : : : : : : : : : The design aimed to arouse a sense of familiarity and interactivity. The design process includes integration of operational words, SPLIT, RECORD, and SURPRISE, which modulates the form providing timelessness to the design process. The roof flows seamlessly into spaces transforming itself from a gable roof to a sloped roof and then turning into a butterfly roof over the dining and the palnaghar. The form splits, twists, and turns into the space, such that one will have a view of the central atrium. The zoning is based on the idea of splitting by segregating the functional spaces, as per the accessibility and utility. The Palana Ghar is placed on the first level in close proximity to staff to increase usability and reduce circulation. The words surprise and record adds up to the experiential value of the spaces. One can have a glimpse of the play area when using the walkway, thus creating a sense of curiosity as one perceives the space. Previous Next Balwadi - Creche

Narrative: This city is a place where many come to chase their dreams, but on the contrary it is also a witness to some of the most criminal and illegal activities in India. The design aims to bring offenders of the law in a state-of-the-art facility and equip them with vocational learnings and the act of being self sufficient and skillful enough to leave all thoughts of turning back into a life of crime by ending this vicious cycle once and for all. The inmates will have access to all basic and advanced needs of a person. The luxury and myriad of professional upkeeps are there to help them, in their tenure, resurrect themselves back into a newer and more capable version of themselves.

Amit Jain : : : : : : : : : : : The house reflects the qualities of the family as a whole. The family stands together through thick and thin, where each member has an equally important role to play. The house has a sensitive blend of modern style and a slight vintage feel. The immediate context around the architecture connects with the family and brings the calmness of the woods. With the use of pastel themes, simple décor and a courtyard , this house attempts to integrate subtleness across every corner. As the users walk through the house, they would experience the spaciousness of the volumes and the scenic views of the lake from the rooms. After a long day at work, these textures would bring about the warmth of the spaces. The spaces seem to connect but retain their identities. The house also includes elements that symbolise beautiful memories from the past, which the family shall cherish at every chapter of their life. Moreover, the design is based on the idea that humans and cats will live in harmony, in the same house and share the same space instead of demarcating a different one for a cat and their playfulness.

Narrative: “Purified by fire, the memory lives in the heights as a beautiful idea; and death is naught but an immortal birth cradled in flame.” Cremation embodies the idea of “ashes to ashes, dust to dust”. The warmth and light of the fire erase the darkness and death, taking the soul to a new infinite birth. The memory is the only remnant, all physicality has disappeared, so the soul is free from all Earthly bounds. Fire becomes a triumph over the darkness of death. The crematorium embodies the idea of transition of the soul or memory to the next world or plane of being. It is a place for metaphysical transition, a place not only for ‘memorialization’ but also a link to a world or existence beyond the Earthly. The central bowl-like contours naturally radiate towards the eternal infinity, sea. These are interactive with other spaces such that alternate compressive and explosive experiences are created in the design. Our design completes itself as a tangible built structure as well as an intangible experience of reconciliation of grief. When looking at it as a whole complete entity we can see a beautiful amalgamation of natural elements like the air (wind from the sea), fire (burning of the pyres), earth (contours), water (burning of the pyres) and finally the eternal afterlife (which is the final journey of the soul ascending upward begins).

Based on these we came up with 12 subtopics for the network map. The aim of drawing a network map was to understand how all of these topics were interrelated to each other. Trullo
