Narrative: The Globetrotters contribute a huge value to any country’s tourist economy. The main design intends to focus on designing a visitor’s servicing centre and not a visitor’s information centre. This service institution is the main touchpoint for visitors to grasp on how to explore this destination. The site selected is Italy‘s capital Rome. The history of Rome depicts a long-standing conflict between spiritual power and political interests. The eye-catching facts here are the city’s design and planning principles. This destination is a people’s place that respects ancestral culture and traditions. The ultimate design proposal is based on these lines for concept build-up. Some key aspects of the proposal include digital servicing, engagement with local travellers, susceptible conveyance mode, and most importantly, a “wow experience”.

Previous Next Cabled Condominiums Email Semester Competition Name Student Name Abhishek Jaisingh Suryavanshi CLT Induction IV abhisheks19@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : : Competition Brief: The Competition challenges the participants to design an urban or peri-urban housing scheme with an innovative construction system using CLT. Narrative: The design process started with understanding current construction practices in CLT which consists of mainly framed and load-bearing structural systems. The major drawbacks of these systems are that they consume a lot of material (heavy solid columns), obstruct the free-flowing spaces, making the creative process of designing dependent on the structural system. The proposal put forward is to address these issues and create an innovative technique of construction that will overcome these drawbacks and not restrict the creative process of designing. This method consists of a hybrid construction method which includes the cable-stayed and framed technique, where the cable holding the beams of each floor allows to create column-free spaces and are connected to the central core unit which includes a staircase and service ducts that helps to reduce maintenance cost. Since CLT is industrial material the housing project is based on modular planning and form exploration. Here, each floor is made out of 6m×6m modules of space which allows creating the different configurations of build form. The facade showcases the aesthetics of the material. The steep sloping roof helps to deal with the heavy precipitation and huge windows provide ample sunlight.

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.

Joel Roy : : : : : : : : : : : Through the course of these two exercises, we began to recognize the various visual boundaries that exist as we navigate through the built and natural environment that surrounds us. The visual boundaries that we observed were perceived for their nature, character, construct, materiality and function. We learnt how to perceive various visual boundaries and how bodies move in the space formed. We stumbled upon various organizational constructs of field, space and movement that we began to document through photographs and drawings. We started to understand these ideas along with cartography and its value in constructing visual narratives. Below are 5 of the 10 final drawings that were required from this exercise where I have tried to explore various types of drawings which will best communicate the nature of the space formed by the boundaries and how movement occurs in it.

Narrative: The house was made for a working business based Mumbai family who wanted the feel of a village. THE PRINCIPLES OF PLANNING ARE BASED ON ‘YAMA’ WHICH ACCORDING TO HINDU SCRIPTURES IS THE ACT OF PRACTICING RESTRAINT OR CONSCIOUS CONTROL. The idea was to create a spatial formulation which would help each and every member of the family to have their own sense of individualistic spaces which would be connected with each other in a very playful manner. The house was to be a part of a retreat for the family in the pandemic times to be stationed somewhere near the main city, but still be away from the “fast” life of the city. To give a desired earthen look to the building, mud based wattle and daub architecture was adopted. The multipurpose roof surfaces are used for circulation, relaxation and ways to separate activity blocks.

Sanjay Mehta : Studio Conductors : : : Video Links : Life started in water and developed around it. The daily need of water for drinking, irrigation, cleaning, etc triggered the development of clusters around its source. In the Indian setting, people associated water with god. It is observed that almost every temple and religious structure is located near water, even the water infrastructure had Idols so that people would consider them auspicious and will give significance to the asset. The development and inventions permitted people to control and twist the assets according to their need. Water was no exception, people began to gather, transport, extract water as per their demands. In an attempt to fulfill their needs, society neglected the indigenous systems leading to the water crisis. The dissertation attempts to understand traditional water systems and how they used to be a part of the community and ecology simultaneously. To understand how the ecology of the place can be restored with the revival of traditional water infrastructures, the program is designed to explain the community about the significance of water conservation and harvesting, and inspire them to take a step towards ecological conservation. This dissertation is an endeavor at the rebuilding of the ecological imbalance using traditional water management techniques for the upliftment of the society and an attempt to prevent the loss of the unique identity of the place.

Shruti Barve : : : : : : : : : : : The process started with analyzing the existing site factors of the Byculla zoo like , limited legibility or approach to the spaces due to which directional circulation and direct approach leads to quick movements to the zoo part . It restricts users to museum and plaza space due to directional movement and less legibility to the structure other than the central part. It loses the heritage value it had and now creates a very conjusted entrance and there are no transition spaces which creates the entry mark , publicness is not visible and not legible. Due to very less publicness restricted to a particular area , the footprint around the site is not spread out on the site always , but has occasional footprints around the site. So this design proposal creates the major guiding axis on the site according to movement patterns , spread of activities on the site to its maximum potential , incorporating the change of levels according to functions and experiential qualities. This design proposal aims to retain the maximum existing trees on the site as well. Retaining Nature

Shekoba Sanap : : : : : : : : : : : One of the world’s leading entertainment companies has taken a policy decision to incorporate a unique operational model. With the world becoming more E-communication reliant and deriving operational efficiency with the connectivity advantage, the company decided to set up mini studio-cum-administration/corporate complexes in different districts worldwide in unique locations. These locations were selected based on accessibility to a town/settlement for easy commute while enjoying the bounty & freshness of exotic regions. These locations offer a creative value to the performance of their employees and contracting partners. The land is also reasonably priced compared to the urban skyrocketing prices. The concept, the Heart, functions exactly like the Human Heart. It has a network of ventricle-like alleys and central atriums that help pump in the fresh breeze and light and aid circulation. It has service cores at its heart to ease the logistics and circulation, branching into several pathways opening to the sky that maintains the health of the complex. Altering the facade lines to create alleys also helps create voids that can capture and house generous amounts of light without obstructing the wind flow.

Rohit Karekar, Ar. Pranay Bhavsar, Ar. K.V.Parmeshwar : : : : : : : : : : : The Project puts forward a challenge of detailing a shell (originally a masonry vault) in Structural Steel. This material opens up a broad range of design choices and exploration with the structural systems. The structure rests on a foundation which consists of abutments for the shell and isolated footings of the stanchions interconnected to form a strong resilient foundation. The Columns are placed in such a way that with beams it facilitates the making of the flowy mezzanine. The shell has structural members from edge lamella to primary, secondary forming a square grid. The alternate roofing of G.F.R.C. panels and glass panels flood the space with light and create a transcedental space quality. The staircase takes advantage of rolled steel sections to create a curved cantilevered staircase connecting the levels. The Project also explores Urine Diverting Dry Toilets across Two levels and resolves the waste management and segregation. The byproducts are used in the farms on the site itself. The roof drainage is catered to with a rain water collection puddles which harvest water and take it to the harvesting tank. Thus the structural technology creates an iconic image for the school at the same time generates products beneficial to the school. Undulating Envelope
