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

Previous Next Steps for Awakening Email Semester Competition Name Student Name Sarvesh Kambli Soham Tulaskar DAC Redefining Platitudes II, V sarveshk20@aoamumbai.in sohamt17@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : Competition Brief: Redefining Platitudes demands all members to choose an existing drawing or illustration from their previous projects and develop a narrative which is distinctive from the existing narrative of that project by exploring new mediums, textures, graphic styles, and rendering styles. 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.

Teja Gavankar : : : : : : : : : : : Throughout this exercise, we studied the relationship between body movement and space. Through this research process, we began to understand how space could adapt to the movement of the human body, respond to it, allow it to happen, but not force it, defining the relationship between the body and its movement in space. We began our investigation by studying various medieval & renaissance paintings and utilizing their diverse scenarios for the focus of our inquiry. We then re-create/enact and record various movements of the body in space and analyze them through chronophotography, which formed the basis to study and understand the structural and constituent elements of each movement. This methodology allowed to focus on qualitative and quantitative data, which can be further analyzed through technical drawings. We used these understandings to identify the activities related to these postures. Previous Next Body And Movement In Space 4

Both the firms believe in research and coming up with new innovative ideas. Not only for the projects but self research and proposing the same to the government and private organizations. Not just landscape but these firms take up a variety of projects like infrastructure, restoration of historical sites and many more but yes still giving these some ecological values. HNS architects believe in a culture of collaboration where they work together with people from different fields and thus not restricting the team to their firm only. Akshay kaul is also believed to work with new people in almost every project and not having a particular team for better results and innovative designs. Sustainability and water management is the main part of each project and solutions through landscape meaning as seen in the two projects where an unused quarry site and the sound reduction problem were addressed through a landscape design. Lastly, we can see despite being two firms based in different countries and context we find similarities in the way they function Case Study HNS ARCHITECTS and AKSHAY KAUL

Rishi Vora, Ar. Mehul Sanghvi : : : : : : : : : : : The site is situated at Goregaon (East) near film city. The Basti adjacent to the plot gives us a sense of community living or people having similar expectations from the society coming together to enhance this experience of living. The Basti and the IGIDR campus on the site are two examples where people having similar aspirations come together to live in a community. They live together and share their experiences, joy, sorrow, etc. Units come together to form space and the space enhances the experience of co-living. The units are either stacked, interlocked, or arranged in a way that maximizes interaction. Even during ancient times, the hunters would come together because they had some similar goals, and working in a group would provide them security and efficiency. They would form small groups and live together and this would suffice their needs as a community. They would build tents, houses and shelters such that it could enhance their interaction and workrate and help communicate better together. A similar concept is seen in the Basti. A sense of oneness, togetherness, and security is achieved through this! Previous Next Adaptable Units
