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.

Rohit Karekar karishma@aoamumbai.com : : : : : : : : : SCHEME: Trading of Electronic Waste Items in exchange for Internet Service Plans. These must be collected for recycling in a public place for regular attraction and response, such as parks. These parks must also be maintained using vegetable waste intended for reforesting and production of oxygen gas to compensate for harmful release from e-waste. PROBLEM: E-waste is among the fastest-growing solid waste classes and represents a serious hazard for the environment. It consists of a mixture of hazardous inorganic and organic materials, for example, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, and brominated flame retardants, along with valuable metals, such as Au, Ag, and Pd. Direct e-waste disposal to landfills without any prior treatment creates threats to the environment due to the leaching of metals in water and soil. Improper e-waste recycling, such as by open burning and acid baths, creates hazardous and toxic compounds, like dioxins, furans, and acids. SOLUTION: E-waste contains many valuable, recoverable materials such as aluminum, ferrous metals, copper, gold, and silver. To conserve natural resources and the energy needed to produce new electronic equipment from virgin resources, electronic equipment should be refurbished, reused, and recycled whenever possible. These can be recovered by introducing enzymes, similar to those used in metallurgy for the mining of metals. After recovery, the leftovers can be recycled to oil via pyrolysis.

Yagnik Bathija : : : : : : : : : : : “Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them” – George Eliot Symbiosis is the type of relationship where there is a connection between two elements while keeping in opposition (conflict). Symbiotic relations are of 4 types namely, Mutualism, Parasitism, Commensalism, Ammensalism. Can a site and ultimately the design be an example of “Mutually Symbiotic Interaction” in a place where there is a blurred edge between land and water? There are a few considerations and assumptions made before we introduce the programs: The approach is futuristic imagining the situation around 30-40 yrs down the line, where the communities reside in secularism. Considering the acceptance of new concepts, the programs are proposed (but the symbiotic relation brings the connection of retaining traditional values in the new techniques). Thus the project aims to change the way we accept “DEATH” and the process of the funeral/ burial/ cremation of the dead. The conclusion of the project takes us back to the initial case of rendering the site on a coastal edge as a symbiotically strong site with opportunities to create various such tangible as well as intangible relations of all the elements. The Design talks about the past, the present, and the future in some or the other way. Previous Next Nostalgic Park

Ghops are used in the cold and cloudy region of Himachal Pradesh where water can not be used as conveniently due to the freezing temperatures. There is a pit in which the waste is collected. In this, dry mixture of wood chips, ash and animal dung is put after every use so as to help the enzyme action decompose the waste. This pit is cleaned annually after the composting of waste is complete and it can be used in farms. Ghop – Dry Toilet Traditional Technology

Narrative: The project aims at giving women leadership opportunities that encourage them to participate in village politics and administration which the location currently lacks, through highly ranking leadership coaching, literacy training, business training, organizational mobilization and market access, enabling women entrepreneurs to sell their goods in the global community. The architecture is a reflection of the region’s socio-cultural practices. The design uses local materials and sustainable technologies to promote self construction and community participation emphasizing why these women must be celebrated every single day. The light Senegalese fabric roof in contrast to the other materials, symbolizes breaking the rigidity of social structure in the context and welcomes women into a safe and secure space where they feel empowered.The value of this fabric not only lies in its weaving technique but also in its ceremonial marking the main rites in a women’s life like using it as fertility aid. Flattened oyster shells found on site are used to cover the window frames letting in diffused light into the structure ,adding character to the facade and the shellwork can be done by the women,thus adding to their marketing skills. The structure responds to the climatic conditions through its material usage and by adopting passive cooling techniques. The rainwater coming down from the roof is collected in a water tank and can further be used for various purposes. The spaces follow a hierarchy which then leads you to the more introverted spaces housing workshops and can also function as a maternity home. The workshops are designed to be flexible so as to be in use throughout the day and hold activities like seminars ranging from marketing and income generating skills to menstrual health awareness.The courtyard acts like the life of the community, a gathering space for all activities which also enhances the microclimate of the structure. It serves as a space for self defense workshops, performance area and a space where women can come together and chat along with their children. Thus, the structure standing adjacent to the main road creates an active exterior to provide them with economic opportunities and at the same time maintains privacy in the interior to create a safe space for them even during their everyday life
