Narrative: I DON'T DIVIDE ARCHITECTURE, LANDSCAPE, AND FUNCTIONS, TO ME THEY ARE ONE. – LUIS BARRAGAN Emotions, Experience, and Elements cohere together to form up a space. This illustration depicts the assembling of the 3 E's which form up the character of the project. Every space here provokes emotions through colour and the multiple activities inside the frame. To show the true sense of togetherness in this community hall design, there is use of warli art and it’s warm colour evokes optimism and excitement. The whole experience of the illustration is portrayed through multiple vantage points as we believe that space could be perceived by every individual through a different perspective and angle. The vital part that forms up the space is all the basic elements and the ideology with which a whole structure comes into place as portrayed. Every unit, every element that comes together to form this structure is broken up to its smallest scale. One can see bricks, tiles, columns, roof, building masses all converging together to form up the space. The greens are also juxtaposed along the contours lines which stitch up the illustration together. The ideology here is that every space revolves around the landscape, terrain, and context created by the space. The graphic thus portrays the idea of function, landscape, and architecture existing as a single entity as each of the following comes from different paths, converges, and interlocks together.

Richa Raut pranavc17@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : : : The site chosen for the project was the city of jaisalmer. Jaisalmer falls under the hot and dry climatic region. This makes the passive cooling in the day and heating during the night the major challenges to be tackled. The spatial arrangement of the house was so designed that there is a path for a regulated wind flow. This is an attempt to locate the built mass on the periphery and create a diagonal passage for wind. This passage consists of openings at certain levels which allows for heating up and cooling down of spaces as required through certain design elements. To complement this massing a combination of traditional and contemporary design elements was devised. The courtyard, chajjas, jaalis were used with a combination of a water body, wooden louvers. Additionally, taking inspiration from the coolness of narrow passages formed between houses a similar method was used to maintain lower temperatures. Esquee- Application Of Passive Design 1

Narrative: A person's decisions determine whether they are good or bad. We begin in a world devoid of color, with our main character, RP09, travelling down a bleak route. Suddenly, a massive boom and a distortion occurs, transporting our character to a dystopian world called Euphoria. RP09's first glimpse is full of hues, and he is both awestruck and scared at the new environment he has entered. The people there were completely different from the black and white world he came from. There were creatures from all over the universe living different lives but somehow the same, overlapping with each other. After some time in the new realm, RP09 realizes what he is up against: he is trapped in a virtual world. He has four lives to complete the game, he has to collect certain coins and in case he fails, there will be serious consequences like him being trapped in the game forever. Our main character ends up doing horrible things to achieve his goal and as a result of the route he chooses, he becomes a wicked guy. He leaves a trail of ruin and death in his wake, continuing to lose his life in the process of the games. As he reaches the final stages of the game; all his tasks have been completed, and just one mission remains. He has almost beaten the game but then the wheels turn around and he is defeated. As a result, RP09 loses all his lives and becomes one of the martians living in the game, a part of the dysphoric Euphoria and forgets about his life at home, wandering aimlessly till the end of time.

Hence circulation becomes one of the most crucial elements, along with space making and placemaking. The campus facilitates the students the ease to reach destinations in less time. The built mass has been laid down linearly as connected pieces with passive design strategies that ensure fewer occupancy loads. Previous Next Maritime Institute/ Veterinary Institute 6

Rajesh Shelke : : : : : : : : : : : The Tech workshop opened a new and unventured area for the students. After the structure was completed, a load was placed over it, which elucidated the load transfer in the form. It led to decoding the integral joineries and understanding the nature of the material used. After understanding the basics and applying them in the design, these were the conclusions: • Having a defined foundation/support. • Every member of the structure defines the structure. • Too many joints are bad; a moderate number of joints is good. • Centre of gravity is the deciding factor. The design consists of two supports at opposite corners held together by a horizontal platform that runs through their extensions. The underlying principle is that the weight is evenly distributed by the platform and then transferred to the ground through the supports. The orientation and thickness of the existing two supports compensate for the absence of two required supports.

Narrative: The project aimed at designing a space which would help create job opportunities and at the same time serve as a community centre for the local people of Dharavi. JANAADHAR-is an interface connecting Mumbai and the aspirations of Dharavi. It provides a platform for people of Dharavi to showcase their talent and eventually would help them grow. The structure was designed keeping in mind three cue words that reflected Dharavi in some way namely Growth, Staggered and Fluid. The programs are added and designed such that they would not only increase the development in Dharavi, but at the same time, be something that these people have been practicing for a long time. These included Metal fabrication, Pottery, Tailoring and Dying. Along with these, there are exhibition spaces and studios wherein the locals would work on skill development and also make a revenue out of the same. Janaadhar is thus a well thought out space which forms a connection between the city of dreams and dharavi in order to help them progress. The project helps highlight the nuances of designing, keeping in mind the needs of people it will cater to and it's response to the site.

Narrative: The Globetrotters contribute a huge value to any country’s tourist economy. The main design intends to focus on designing a visitor’s servicing centre and not a visitor’s information centre. This service institution is the main touchpoint for visitors to grasp on how to explore this destination. The site selected is Italy‘s capital Rome. The history of Rome depicts a long-standing conflict between spiritual power and political interests. The eye-catching facts here are the city’s design and planning principles. This destination is a people’s place that respects ancestral culture and traditions. The ultimate design proposal is based on these lines for concept build-up. Some key aspects of the proposal include digital servicing, engagement with local travellers, susceptible conveyance mode, and most importantly, a “wow experience”.

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.
