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

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 central open space thus connects the different classes of the society under one roof to increase the interaction and create new experiences for the upcoming new actors by reviewing their daily life experiences . Thus this space informally becomes a huge canvas for the upcoming actors to see , to think , to improve themselves and become a person of experience in an informal way . Along the way , it also creates a series of interactive landscape elements and various gathering points on the entire site and the most important the play of shadows creating the timeline of different activities being captured into the space which shows the ever changing nature of the activities .

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.

Shekoba Sanap : : : : : : : : : : : The brief involves designing a facility for a group of urban people coming from Mumbai or Pune to spend a week or so in the lap of Sahyadris while taking on new experiences, learning some things, and getting one step closer to mother nature. This calls for an opportunity to investigate the relationship between man and nature. Folk, oral or written, for ages has been commenting on nature and the assoications humankind forms with nature. Thus the project enquires into “Stories” to extract cues that inform the design and leads to the design itself being a ‘Repository of Stories’ that the user would come to explore. The design language is contemporary, built out of traditional materials, manifesting a unique experience of space and texture for the urban user. Interpretations of folk, songs, and poems govern the space design, making the space ‘a platform where man and nature perform in unison’. Previous Next Nisarga- Farm House 1

As a group of 6 we selected the Iraq region which is known for the mudhif architecture in minute details according to climate, material, structural system etc. Mudhif architecture is made up of reeds which is a flexible material. The material provides the aid to build the houses which have domical roofs. Reed being a light-weight material, the self weight of the houses are less. The other characteristics associated with reeds are heat conductivity which allows the good conduction of humidity and thus allows passive cooling. The houses in mudhif architecture are oriented in north-west south-east direction for natural ventilation. Thus, the vernacular architecture of mudhif helps us understand how materials, orientations, etc helps in achieving the most sustainable houses which survive till the date. Malay House
