The study of these toilets in order to create awareness of the importance of toilets in various regions was conducted. 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

The architecture of torajan houses is indegenious to the region and is influenced by the different environmental and cultural factors that can be observed in the indonesian islands. The orientation and the planning of the interior spaces is highly influenced by the direction of the sunlight and the beliefs of the tribe people themselves. Even the materiality and the method used by them to adjust to the local climate has made this structure way more efficient in terms of circulation and articulation within the restricted space. Adding to this, the uniqueness of the way in which they have tackled the problems of modulating the sunlight by covering the structure in a hyperbolic roof form to providing a stilt area for the cattle and also for keeping the house at a elevated height during floods is what makes this truly an great example of vernacular architecture.

Yagnik Bathija : : : : : : : : : : : Kaushal Vikas Kendra is an ITI Centre. It is a new learning environment and a product of functional needs and the village's cultural landscape. It includes programs of carpentry and Sewing Technician. To inform the nature of the program, design cues were allotted, giving me discuss as action, cover as operation and narrow as spatial experience. The word narrow here is explored with respect to shadow and light. The tapering entrance to the ITI centre gives the feeling of narrowness. The courtyard has a canopy that gives the feeling of cover and protection just like a tree. The Criss cross of bamboos shows the hypothetical exchange of ideas. The ground floor has the carpentry classroom with a landscape which represents the informal spaces in the houses of the village. Admin area is at level 00m which is differentiated from the classroom area. Workshops are an integral part of any ITI centre where screening educational videos is a major activity so it was important for me to build the recreational area not only as a place to chat but also as a space for screening which when needed, can be used for small events. This ITI centre is tied up with local building materials such as bricks and glass which gives the feeling of contemporary vernacular architecture while the roof is made up of wood shingles.

Milind Amle, Ar. Sunil Sadekar, Ar. Snehal Gaikwad : : : : : : : : : : : The project was to create housing for the MLAs and MLA karyakartas visiting Mumbai annually. The project not only aimed at providing shelter but also at developing their personality. Ministers have a very tight schedule throughout the day thus, it is imperative for them to be highly disciplined, be in the best of their mental and physical health and be quick on their feet to process things quickly and clearly. Therefore, traits such as confidence, social skills, communication, leadership qualities and health of the MLA’s and their karyakartas needed to be developed using cognitive reframing of mind with the help of nature and designed landscaped areas. These trigger the five sensory organs, creating pleasant views. These thoughts instil feelings that enable healthy behaviour, giving them a fresh mindset forming a continuous cycle. The form of the building needed to be sleek and royal, giving a sense of belonging and acting as a landmark, hence inspirations from the Rashtrapati Bhavan were inculcated. With the site being located at Nariman Point (the western coastal edge of Mumbai), it enjoys proximity to prominent areas of South Mumbai like Colaba, Cuff Parade and World Trade Centre, which allows it to exploit the expansive panoramic views of the city and the sea from the higher floors.

Joel Roy : : : : : : : : : : : During this studio, we were introduced to the concept of visual boundaries through which we understood the idea of space. We identified certain boundaries around us, documented them through pictures, various forms of drawings and made certain analysis. Space is determined by its boundaries and the rigidity of it is isn’t as vivid as it might seem. The latter part of the exercise focused more on the idea of space. Human movement and space are two interrelated concepts. Space is affected by human movement and vice versa. With this in mind we selected certain images and analysed the enclosure of space and movement. With the drawing, we have mapped different aspects from the picture.

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.

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
