Juhi Prasad : : : : : : : : : : : This project aimed to understand the role of different elements which are forming a particular space. This project helped me understand how an element is used in a structure and how it reflects in space making. Doors and the floor act as a threshold in the Sayil Palace. Whereas placements of columns lead to a rhythm. The walls form the enclosed volumes. In Unité d'Habitation, the columns act as a movement guild while windows act as scaling elements, a façade modulator, and a movement guild. Elements of Space Making 1

Rishi Vora, Ar. Mehul Sanghvi : : : : : : : : : : : The site is situated at Goregaon near film city. The approach of the design was through analyzing the site context and abstracting it through its physical nature. The site was adjoining to many spaces like the basti, school, pump house and essence of the locality. After thoroughly understanding the site and context, the main aim of the project was to incorporate the spirit of the vicinity and enhance the co- living nature of the building. Even analyzing the user group in terms of emotions they might feel when they are in a build form and how they are going to use the spaces. The structure focuses on being humble and cooperative with the site context. Perhaps having transitional spaces, courtyard and multipurpose spaces. The building itself became a small community.

Venkat Ashok, Ar. Pradeep Pavithran : : : : : : : : : : : The movie revolves around two characters Julie and Julia and their life. It tells us how two people can have some major overlaps regarding their life situation, behavior etc. Despite being in two different time frames, how a person can be inspired from the other, and how closely they connect themselves to the character that they start reflecting their ideologies, mannerisms, behavior etc. Can a person influence people so much that they idolise everything about them? Even without meeting them, can a space bring this emotion? Furthermore, the movie appreciates the art of French cooking. Both these characters would cook to escape reality even if it was for a brief period of time. Both the characters were also very eager to share their experiences or knowledge with a larger audience. Can a space be made that allows the users to practice their hobbies and escape reality? Julie managed to do that in her home kitchen, she wasn’t exactly happy with the compact space but the activity and her admiration for her role model ‘Julia’ helped Julie to take up a challenge and practice her hobby allowing her to escape reality.

Dhara Parekh, Ar. Pranay Bhavsar : : : : : : : : : : : The idea & focus of this exercise was to incorporate all the elements and learning’s of Building Construction & Building Services into the design. The Facade of the Clubhouse was to be designed using either Curtain Glazing/Dry Cladding or a combination of both. Also, the design had to incorporate a Canopy as the Entrance gesture of the building. The same building spaces were used to study and design Basic Services, Electrical Layout of the structure and Acoustical Services of the Auditorium. We were encouraged to explore new materials and design new details. The proposed Clubhouse is a G+1 structure with an ACP metal clad exterior and Sandwich panel Curtain Glazing system. A massive steel frame glass canopy greets visitors as they enter the edifice. Equitable lighting and acoustics are taken into account while designing spaces. The Structure and Services principles are applied to the project while exploring and inventing innovative ways to achieve the same. Club House for a Residential Complex 1

Each of these projects are designed for different contexts and have a variety of considerations, purpose, people organization, planning strategy, limitations, and process. The exercise also aims at looking at landscape design projects that differ from the various architectural interventions around the same site. Our group worked on the highline park which is in Manhattan, New york. The highline is a nonprofit project, which is almost entirely supported by people. Its a 1.4-mile-long elevated linear park. We studied the park through the lens of planning, organization, programs, ideology, context and setting, while also further detailing a small portion of the park. The Documentation procedure helped put a unique lens of understanding and helped understanding a bold form of an Urban Landscape intervention. The High Line

Harshada Shintre : : : : : : : : : : : The exercise motivated on studying interesting grid patterns, and articulating Hybridized grids while getting inspired from the principles of the source grids as an initial step. The exercise culminated by deriving the final grid from one of the Hybrid grids and three other listed grids. The process commenced with identifying elements or shapes (line, dots, circle, semi-circle, square) operations and characteristic features of each of the three selected grids including rotation (clockwise or anti-clockwise, bisection, intersection, rhythmic spacing between elements, union, continuity, repetition). This was further processed as reciprocation of varied combinations to come up with three unique grid systems referred to as Hybrid Grids. One of the hybrid grids were selected and paired with three sets of grids- Figure Building, Landscape field, Occupation Event. While segregating the components of all three sets, final drawing of grid was composed as an amalgamation of all four grids. Previous Next Taxonomy Of Grids 5

Narrative: In the harsh mental environment one tries to find Nirvana within himself. Self awakening, or self enlightenment is a one of the phases of reaching Nirvana. The graphic represents the path to awakening while showcasing the abstractions of the 7 factors needed to achieve awakening. ● Mindfulness- As Buddha said "Transient are all component things. Work out your deliverance with heedfulness!" Mindfulness is needed to maintain the awareness of reality. ● Investigation of the nature of reality- Through keen investigations, a spiritually evolved person, whose clarity of vision penetrates into the deepest recesses of life and cognizes the true nature that underlies all appearance. No more can he be confused by highs and lows of life. ● Energy- The effort to redirect misdirections that already have and will be arisening in the mind. It is that force which becomes the light to the mirage of endless working. ● Joy or rapture- Real happiness or rapture comes not through grasping or clinging to things animate or inanimate but by giving up (nekkhamma). It is this detached attitude towards the world that brings about true happiness. ● Tranquility- The factor is needed to achieve conscious calmness and serenity throughout the journey in body and mind. ● Concentration/calm- Concentration is the intensified steadiness of the mind as an unflickering flame of a lamp in heavy breezes. ● Equanimity- It is mental equipoise and not hedonic indifference. pain and happiness — he never wavers.

Narrative: “The flowers are blooming because the bipeds no longer snatch them away, they now have a future to look forward to, when the roses rise and everything begins again!” The Tank is the only oasis in the midst of all this destruction, being a source of sustenance in itself. All the things they made, none of them are safe now. And why are all these other wonderful creatures here you ask? Well, they are here to take what was already meant for them from the beginning. You see, these multiple visions we have for the future, the stress we give to human existence and experiences and neglect all the other ones just creates a greater divide between the whole world and us. So, representations should be as elusive as the projects they represent. Letting go of false ideas, focusing less on the exclusionary functions and definitions that we give to spaces we make, we should move forward to a world where we show the impact that the project actually has on this planet, not the fancy attractive visions that give illusions of hope and wellness, where there is none!
