The Four Hybrid Grids Are Made Using The Base Grids Of Ann Thorncroft, Kapitza And Lionel March. Each Of The Hybdrid Grid Has A Logic Of Picking Elements From One Grid And Repetition Pattern From Another Grid. This Led To Formation Of Several Patterns Using The Same 3 Base Drawings. The Final Grid Drawing- Cityscapes, Is A Illustration Of One Of These Hybrid Grids And 3 Illustration Of O M Ungers, Ian Leonidov And Notes Of Eno Music. The Final Grid Is A Illustration Of A Typical City Scape With Builtforms Of Various Scales, Vegetation, A River Cutting Along The City And The Roads. The Roads Hold The Notes Of Music Indicating The Events Or Life Happening In The City. Previous Next Taxonomy Of Grids 7

Narrative: A Wellness center is a very essential part for people in this urban society due to the integrated health solutions they provide to both mind and body. Location plays a very important part in the making of any wellness center. Here, our location is the city of Alappuzha in the state of Kerala, India. As this city is located near the waterfront, it creates the perfect setting along with the tropical climate. It is a place with less amount of population that adds up to the beauty of the site and the overall motive of this project. We start with the basic idea of proposing such spaces that respond to such a setting and are designed to allow the maximum amount of natural light and ventilation. All the buildings are centered with a courtyard and many green pockets that create breathing space and a kind of openness in the plot. There is an emphasis on earthy elements such as the use of stone, timber, natural fences. The horizontal expanse of the structure is well balanced with the verticality of the planes formed by the diverse vegetation. We are also proposing congregation spaces for users where they could get some hands-on experiences and help them connect more with nature. Along with this, things like comfort, accessibility, and aesthetics are equally paid attention to. The path gradients are very carefully calculated to minimize fatigue and provide subtle pause points. Gardens are proposed to encourage walking as a form of exercise and act as a barrier from urban noise and smoke.

Harshada Bapat Shintre : : : : : : : : : : : https://issuu.com/aoa_confluence_2022/docs/dd_book_ganesh_beniwal_dd : Studio Conductors : : : In today’s world, where everyone is so reliant on and involved in digital media, forming a community and molding a space is not limited to the physicality of it. In such a case, how can a physical space be made more diversified and useful to living creatures in order to foster an intimate relationship between space, its users and the city as a whole? This thesis seeks to investigate the potential of urban built environment as a medium for build a synergial life-space-technology relationship. To utilize the synergy between the physical realities and digital existence to make spaces for the living, to promote accessibility to the medium and creating a cohesive city Identity. This will be achieved – By establishing public spaces that can enhance the living mind and engage people on multiple levels. By allowing the user to define their own spaces. By integrating the experiences of the digital to the physical. By instilling a sense of public space in its true sense, and by allowing living creatures to interact with the built environment through various mediums. Existential Dimorphism: Digital existence x Physical realities

Narrative: Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole. One of the world’s northernmost inhabited areas, it's known for its remote terrain of glaciers and frozen tundra sheltering polar bears, a great example of how people can live in the most inhospitable places. Its serene environment serves as a blank canvas for the creative minds and the northern lights attract tourists all year round. These portable tiny homes are meant to be used as flexible work spaces for photographers, artists, stargazers and tourists alike. The concept was to combine off-grid living with Working and to design a self-contained space big enough to call home, yet small enough to take anywhere. A site where ‘nature decides everything and we are the guests’, so also these houses are portable, sustainable and allow occupants to connect with nature.

Yagnik Bathija : : : : : : : : : : : Teamwork was our core intent and, performing tasks (previously: assigning tasks) and organising data were our two chosen functions. The user performs the task of organising the cubes to create a smooth way that reaches the top. Teamwork is necessary to plan the organisation of the cubes and then the users individually slide the blocks as decided. The space made of grids has a rectangular base of 4.5 x 3 metres and a height of 3 metres. Thus, the overall volume is 40.5 cubic metres. There are six levels, each at 0.5 metres high. The number of cubes on each level decreases from the bottom to the top. The blocks are to be slid along the horizontal axis only. The effort added was to develop a recreational and leisure space within labour camps for the working men. Keeping the activity these people are involved in, the idea of hybridising our two functions is blended to provide relaxation amenities employing pushing, sliding, and shifting dynamic solids to reach a common goal. interACT
