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

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

Yagnik Bathija : : : : : : : : : : : The guiding principle of the upcycle factory design is to use structure as the primary generator of space. The idea of structural honesty is born where the interior space is formed by actual, visible structure. This approach leads to a form of structural expressionism as an attempt to attain transparency in function till literal structural transparency is proudly announced on the façade. In contrast, the crematorium being a private, sombre function demands solitude. This is achieved sectionally by carving a subterranean space for the pyres and ritual spaces. A haiku effect is created to emphasize the nothingness of space to empathize with the idea of loss. The project explores binaries throughout its course. Land & water, day & night, substructure & superstructure, minimalism & expressionism. However, conceptually the upcycle factory takes in waste and physically gives it a new life and the crematorium works with the deceased being given new life in the metaphysical form through collective memory. The program itself here is a metaphor for expiry & rebirth. With this everlasting transformation, the cycle of life is forever in continuum. Previous Next Continuum

The process of the design of the poster began with the understanding of what the topic entails. This led to several explorations and helped with the following elements being categorized and shown through the work. Light: The play of light on materials and surfaces inside a space hugely impacts how the spaces are perceived. Numinosity: The element of spirituality is heightened by the feeling of numinosity. This emotion is triggered by several elements of design. Through the poster the aim was to integrate the key elements in a manner to convey the idea of the thesis.

Narrative: We aimed at studying a civilization that wasn't a part of our academic curriculum. We discovered the Inca and its various cultural beliefs and how it influenced the architecture of that era and eventually the people’s lifestyle. The well-known historical sites like the Machu Picchu to the humble golden temple of "Qorikancha" are a part of this civilization. We tried to narrate the story of a civilization glorious in its unblemished form, suppressed to the shackles of colonialism.

The selection of the location, climate zone, topography and other features was left open for students to be done individually. An independent house typology was given to the class which was to be altered providing passive design strategies based on the selected criterias. The following aspects were considered for a site in New Delhi with composite climate - - Climate (Temp, Humidity, Radiation, etc.) - Design (orientation, Window openings - sizes, types, placement, walls, roof, etc.) - Building Use & Functions (Daytime nighttime, heat gains/loss, air exchanges, etc.) - Materials (Local/Sourced, Specifications - density, conductivity, etc.) The above listed considerations were then reflected schematically through sketches of the altered plan and sections of the house.

Narrative: The Coffee Bean Pavilion - takes its inspiration from a simple coffee bean to generate a surge of emotions in the user. The major driving concepts of the coffee pavilion were to establish a connection with the user while achieving a sustainable design that could be achieved parametrically which would, in turn, allow for efficient modular replication. The simplicity of the design and repetition of the units makes it possible to have an easy, efficient and fast construction enabling it to be modular and made at different sites. The site chosen is the rooftop of ‘The Heights Building’ located in the USA. The skin is made out of terracotta and the skeletal framework of horizontal and vertical reinforcement bars are made out of steel. These tiles can be rotated along the rod allowing user engagement with the pavilion. The aim was to achieve lesser sunlight infiltration from the top and more cross ventilation thus, resulting in the lower panels having a bigger cavity/hole and a gradually decreasing size of the cavity as it goes to the top. In all, the pavilion acts as a visually attractive meeting point to a variety of users that provokes connectivity and social engagement.
