Then, combine the two logics and geometry for the outcome of the juxtaposed geometries. The basic grids consisted of a pattern by visual artist Tauba Auerbach, translation rotation by Julio Le Parc, artwork by Luiz Sacilotto, a four-fold pattern in Humayun's tomb, and musical serial composition by Lidy Prati. These artworks formed the basis for the creation of hybrid grids. The final gridscape drawing consists of one of the hybrid grids generated, the plan of the existing structure, and the field plan of ice hockey. By combining and layering all these grids, the internal divisions and the hybrid grid acts as an internal arrangement of the objects on the base plan, while the ice hockey player position marks the overall movement patterns in the entire space. So this exercise aims at understanding and then reimagining the basic logic to create an interesting illustration. Previous Next Taxonomy Of Grids 2

Early Process based studies revolved around the site leading to assessment of the site edges and suitable weather conditions, as well as identifying the micro climates generated due to the built environment. Taking into consideration the mood of the space, various natural elements like Trellis and informal seating were incorporated that enhanced the program and a collective language was established.

Exploring different forms and how to make them in reality by use of proper material. The quality of the materials available in the market, the proper material for formwork, the reinforcement, proper ratio of water aggregate and cement are to be looked upon along with the possibility of actually constructing the desired form and the errors and necessary precautions along the process. This study helps understand various learnings from the whole process and so all of these things are to be documented.

Shruti Barve : : : : : : : : : : : The exercise motivated us to study a vegetative zone,wherein I observed the existing typology of landscape, which was a nearby public park. The components studied included sky cover, ground quality, trees, shrubbery, contours, etc. The project interestingly proceeded by teaching us to evolve the selected patch of landscape with our considerations as a public entity. Few additions in the redesigning procedure are Water Channel for active involvement of birds, Imprint Zone creating privacy and natural shading which helps filter light and develop intriguing patterns, zoning of grass growth, and upliftment of mound also encircling it with planned tree foliage for privacy.

As a group of 6 we selected the Iraq region which is known for the mudhif architecture in minute details according to climate, material, structural system etc. Mudhif architecture is made up of reeds which is a flexible material. The material provides the aid to build the houses which have domical roofs. Reed being a light-weight material, the self weight of the houses are less. The other characteristics associated with reeds are heat conductivity which allows the good conduction of humidity and thus allows passive cooling. The houses in mudhif architecture are oriented in north-west south-east direction for natural ventilation. Thus, the vernacular architecture of mudhif helps us understand how materials, orientations, etc helps in achieving the most sustainable houses which survive till the date. Malay House

Narrative: The project aimed at designing a space which would help create job opportunities and at the same time serve as a community centre for the local people of Dharavi. JANAADHAR-is an interface connecting Mumbai and the aspirations of Dharavi. It provides a platform for people of Dharavi to showcase their talent and eventually would help them grow. The structure was designed keeping in mind three cue words that reflected Dharavi in some way namely Growth, Staggered and Fluid. The programs are added and designed such that they would not only increase the development in Dharavi, but at the same time, be something that these people have been practicing for a long time. These included Metal fabrication, Pottery, Tailoring and Dying. Along with these, there are exhibition spaces and studios wherein the locals would work on skill development and also make a revenue out of the same. Janaadhar is thus a well thought out space which forms a connection between the city of dreams and dharavi in order to help them progress. The project helps highlight the nuances of designing, keeping in mind the needs of people it will cater to and it's response to the site.

Shruti Barve : : : : : : : : : : : The process started by understanding the existing conditions & spaces which are in the Byculla park. The site holds rich heritage and cultural values which were studied to further program the design and required spaces. The existing natural cover, which are tree-typology , groundscape , softscape materials , heights of the entrance are understood with the help of diagrams; the narrative for these studies evolve towards the key idea of visual and physical curiosities which can be experienced in the space. Further the analytical and logical approach was laid out through studies of light & shadows , background-foreground , enclosures , heritage zones , scale-proportion , tactile textures. The proposal intended to retain the general character of the park : heritage zone. For education and entertainment of the public, different spaces were designed for interaction and making people understand the vegetation species , rainwater sustainability etc. The experience of the people is sequenced in a way where one is connected with the nature and the binaries that unflod : formal & informal , chaos & order develops a sense curiosity in the people.

Different materials, like foam sheet, steel scale, plastic scale was used to make beam and column. We studied end conditions including simply supported beam, cantilever beam, fixed beam, continuous beam, columns fixed at one end, and column fixed at both ends. I used books to support fixing the beam in it and used the color box as a load. In the case of the column, it was fixed in hand, and the load was given from the other hand. Through this exercise, we learned the positions where the beam or column either sags or hogs. Basics

Anisha Mehta, Ar. Ronak Savla, Ar. Nikita Sharma : : : : : : : : : : : Second-semester deals with exploring three-dimensional representation and detailing in terms of architecture. This involves numerous types of drawings, each of which highlights surfaces parallel to one of the three planes. These views were carefully drafted, giving utmost importance to neatness and line intensities. Further detailing can be represented by exploding or cutting through these three-dimensional views. The drawings include isometric views, axonometric views, oblique views and one-point and two-point views. The said views were explored by representing smaller objects as well as larger contexts to gain a wholesome understanding of what each drawing conveyed the best. These exercises prove to be essential when it comes to decision making regarding what drawing to choose to best explain one’s design. Previous Next ARD Portfolio 1

Dividing Groups On The Basis Of Different Human Action/Positions, The Exercise Furthered Through Us Documenting Ourselves According To The Various Postures Selected. It Included Photo And Dimensional Documentation. This Was Neatly Noted To Provide Us With The Bank Of Average Anthropometric Dimensions. Exercise Then Culminated Into Us Deriving Sketches Of The Predetermined Posture/Action With The Aim Of Imaging Similar Anthropometric Variants In Other Situations. The Case Presented Me With, “Human Reaching To A Wall Clock”. This Predetermined Action Was Then Conceived To Be In Different Situations Where One Is Reaching Out And Moreover Stretching To Do So. One Sketch Portrays A Girl Participating In “Dahi Handi” Is Reaching Out To Help Her Fellow Member. The Other Sketch Continues The Similar Language Of “Reaching Out” To The Luggage Rack Of A Plane. Such Imagination Helped In Understanding Humans Gestures In Various Situations Which Could Help Us Develop Innovative Human Space Relation In Further Studies. Measuring positions - Reaching the clock
