Aniruddha Nafrey : : : : : : : : : : : The experience centre is planned to be extremely legible and wall – free, such that every space can be clearly understood and accessible from every point in the space, making it more convenient for functioning. However, it is essential to divide spaces as well for carrying out various activities and functions. Small, eye – level partitions are used to divide spaces, and columns are used as demarcators of spaces. White is highly welcoming to visitors, and gives a very sleek and modern look to an office space. As a result, alucabond is intensively used to clad the interiors. Artifical greenery is used to make the space more peaceful and welcoming, and it blends well with the natural light from the atrium. The planning of the space is also done by understanding the way a user would use the space, providing maximum legibility, efficiency and ease of movement, a better experience as well as maximum privacy to the office users. On the other hand, the 2BHK is designed with an organic theme. The shelves and storages are designed in a honey – comb shape, and partitions are inspired from the honey – comb structure as well. The lighting is inspired from organic shapes as well, and wood as a material is used commonly. The shades of brown, cream and yellow are predominant in the interiors. Experiencing Centre

Juhi Prasad : : : : : : : : : : : In our day-to-day life, we see many spaces but we often don't know how these spaces are built by elements like - Columns, Floors, Walls, etc. This project helped me understand how different elements are used in a building to make up the space. In the Asiatic Library, the Floor is used as a space for support and stability. Steps act as a strong and rigid element and are used for movement. The column is used as a movement guide and for support as well. The door and roof functioned for their purpose. In the Temple of Hatshepsut, walls act as a protection to the mortuary inside. Columns act as rhythm. all of this was identified by drawing diagrams for it. Elements of Space Making 2

Part 2: To Create a folded plate origami by taking inspiration from nature. The motive was also to understand that within nature there are many folded structural forms that are stable and can withstand loading under different conditions. Furthermore, to place the created origami structure in a speculative architectural manifestation. Folded Plates 1

Often these elements have more than one way, in which they affect the spaces formed by them. So I have tried to document these elements through drawings in Heyder Aliyev Centre and Victoria Memorial.

Harry is a sports buff and loves to run, while on the other hand, Chris is an avid reader and enjoys yoga every day but, both of them love to explore the unexplored. Their flat is a blend of pop colors and has a vibrant and joyful vibe which they impart via their teaching. Multiple showcases portray their travel memorabilia, along with the wall paintings in the hall and the bedroom. The hall is designed for them to work as well as host their guests for a small house party, now and then. The two balconies are curated for their interests and to relax after a long and tiring day. The entire house is designed in the Modern-Boho style of design, thus making it suitable for their needs. The suite life of Chris and Harry

This simple question led to developing an Activity-based workplace’ approach with work-life balance, network learning, Interactions, and a sense of community. An Activity-based workplace aids in one’s personal and collaborative growth. It is a mix of open, semi-open, and private spaces for each user. Thus, having connectivity as well as buffers, nooks, and niches, level of privacy, and proximity of spaces considering the needs of all users was crucial. Situated on Topea island of Bora Bora islands, the site is a tropical wonder. It overlooks the lagoon water and the mighty mount Otemanu backing it. The Design derives cues from topography, vegetation and then tries to integrate them with Spaces and Netflix’s work philosophy. This results in an amorphous structure with varied volumes and space qualities making it fun and functional for the users. The project focuses on accessibility, inclusivity, and socio-economic fundamentals. The Design also delves into Interior Architecture, Landscape architecture, and Structural design in detail to bring out the best for the client. Previous Next Corporate Den By Netflix.Inc 1

Over the years, many narratives of India have been told. Their accounts, often biased, glorify the powerful and omit tales of others, thereby only offering a myopic (limited) insight into the stories of our people. This studio carries forward the learnings from ‘Objects Mumbai' where the research cell at AOA identifies, observes, and analyzes everyday objects in Mumbai and their role in the narrative of the city. 75 OBJECTS OF INDEPENDENT INDIA

Narrative: The space is a contemporary blend of funky and neutral, clubbing Joey's playful personality and a taste for Kitsch art, with Chandler’s practical and witty self.

Richa Raut, Ar. Saurabh Jain, Ar. Rohit Karekar, Ar. Shekoba Sanap : : : : : : : : : : : The brief and the site both were very nature-centric, hence it became necessary to create a link between humans and nature through a built form that will benefit both, rather than cause harm to one another. So digging deeper into this came an understanding that nothing in nature comes directly into existence rather it grows and evolves through time. A similar process is observed in humans as well. Thus the project aimed at creating a platform for the symbiotic development or GROWTH of both humans and nature. Furthermore, various categories of growth were listed down including – physical growth, spiritual, regenerative, supplementary, communal, and environmental growth. While zoning of activities, the communal growth with the community included spaces such as amphitheater and workshop area and spiritual growth where the focus is on oneself with activities like yoga, meditation and camping form the main link while others root out of this. The build includes a sleeping area, rainwater harvesting, and solar energy where natural sources are replenished. The form designed aids in the aim of sustainability, so the roof is designed to respond to factors such as sun shading, ventilation, rainwater harvesting, etc. All the materials are locally sourced making them economically viable. The structural layers have brick walls with bamboo columns connected to the wall or supporting the rafters with the bamboo network that hold the shingles in places.

It helped us to visualize various texts in a graphical format and represent it tactfully. The main focus of exercise was representation and detailing, which can be put into the composition of a A3 sheet to be viewed as an encyclopedia spread. Alignment, text sizes, fonts, color schemes, margins and gaps were taken into consideration while designing our spread for the same. Previous Next Pancakes

Email Guide Semester Subject Student Name Himanshi Mittal Architectural Design V Ar. Karan Danda himanshi19@aoamumbai.in Studio Conductors Ar. Shruti Barve , Ar. Karan Danda , Ar. Anuradha Shah , Ar. Venkat Ashok, Ar. Pradeep Pavithran : : : : : : : : : : : Colonists set up farms where lawful citizens had only one job of producing. The city had a high crime rate, and slavery was prevalent. The people of Mos Eisley were poor and had poor living conditions with negligible healthcare facilities. Although the movie showcases the advancements in technology, the lifestyle of the inhabitants was very laid back. The dwellings were mostly clay and gypsum. The challenges while designing spaces include the harsh climate of Tatooine, traditional construction methods, incorporating different scales according to the program and interventions. The core themes of the project were Gestalt's Principles of Perception, creating and exploring ambiguity between figure and ground, solid and void, novelty and history, and curiosity and recognition. An exploration in mass and void allows various levels of enclosure, openness, recognition and blending habitable and interstitial spaces creating a certain sense of transparency to improvise constructive interaction between different species living together. Varying psychologies result in respective space planning and spatial behaviours. Decoding and incorporating them with addition and subtraction in volume according to program and functionality resulted in interesting form modulations. THE INTENT: This project allowed the people of Tatooine to sell products like farm produce or spare parts of machines and robots, hence giving them a source of income. Since slavery is prevalent in the city, slave quarters have been provided with workshop areas to provide a means of living and sell their machine alternate slaves (robots) to the owner and get their freedom.
