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

The design is made such that the reverberation time of the key speaker is approx 0.9 sec till the students. The students’ seating arrangement is placed on concrete tiers in a rising manner with rubber lining and wooden flooring to contain the sound created. Some other materials used are gypsum boards, plywood panelling, Teak Wood parquet flooring, acoustic suspended boards, glazed concrete, timber doors, etc. The materials are used by calculating their surface areas and absorption sabines.

Ronak Savla : : : : : : : : : : : Over this period of 400 years, we see the downfall of a major empire by an onslaught of invasions, the inception of regional powers that saw the re-emergence of a structure that was a physical manifestation of ownership in the form of a monolith or an inscription. The presence of these new regional powers led to the growth of a new religion and its need for a new place of worship i.e. the Hindu Temple that was influenced by the styles of the structures that preceded it and its evolution with time in different regions. Architecture as a tool to declare and pronounce absolute authority and dominance in the administration and rule of the empire is seen in the establishment of fortified and well-planned capitals to ensure the growth and safety of these regional powers. The structures following the establishment of capital show the further development that took place in the region. This development of the capital took place in the multiple Kingdoms that were neighboring one another during this era to attain some sort of security in politically unstable southern India. The era is highlighted by a diverse spectrum of materials, form, scale, and style elements that eventually mold and fuse into a distinctive style of temple architecture. The architecture of a particular era depicts its political scenario through various parameters like the typology of structures that range from a township to religious structures like the temples that stood tall through these various shifts of power and became an icon for the region as well as the ruler.

Amey Ghosalkar : : : : : : : : : : : The Sabarmati Ashram by Charles Correa gives a contemporary expression of the spirit of Swadeshi. It combines hindu architecture and the cosmological idea of isotropy (which can be found in a variety of hindu temples) with modernist functional planning. The rudimentary principle behind the design was based upon opening up individually. Hence this “openness” is used as a tool for manifesting modernity in his ashrams, which is designing space to nurture individuality. A couple more aspects that have been worked out are : Relationship between body and encompassing space/enclosure and opening up of the private space of the body as an expression of the new modern relationship between body and dwelling.

Joel Roy, Ar. Amey mhatre : : : : : : : : : : : Through the course of this exercise the students had to study various pavilions that have been installed around the world. The pavilion assigned to me was the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2002 by Toyo Ito, Cecil Balmond and Arup. The main aim of the design of this pavilion was to transform the most ordinary spatial form, a cuboid, to something extraordinary. The architects used a network of lines and velocities to criss-cross through the Pavilion’s box shape. A specially developed algorithm was used to construct the structure of the pavilion: half to a third of adjacent sides of the square, which quickly resulted in a pattern of many crossings. The lines and crossings became supportive steel blades, and a checkered pattern of glass and aluminum panels added to the sharpness of form. I have studied this pavilion through drawings of plans, elevations and sections, that have been derived by the above mentioned algorithm. Previous Next Understanding Architecture: Pavilion 2

Amey Ghosalkar : : : : : : : : : : : The project is based upon exploring various forms and shapes using concrete, aggregate and reinforcements. The project started by making various sketches and finalising one form and figuring out the dimensions of the product. This was done by making process models using file-card material. The shapes were divided in two categories- span and height. The next step was to make moulds for making RCC models. The moulds were made from sunboard material. These moulds were filled with cement concrete and reinforcements of steel wires. The concrete took 2-3 days to dry up. The products were then de-moulded and documented.

Encounters jack around the berry farm; strangely unusual, Conspiring to catch that familiar stalker. "Let's climb up the hill", muttered Jill Knowing they would be followed by one who sought her; And so Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water. Waiting for the stalker to be found, Abruptly, a man gushes; followed by a disaster, Jack falls down and breaks his crown, Jill comes tumbling after. Waking up feeling dizzy as ever, Finding the strange berries around Gaining his senses however, "I wonder why are my hands red and brown?" Previous Next Implicating Industrialist

Narrative: Two designs selected for the final representation. One of them is Slack, which is an App and it’s abbreviation is ‘Searchable Log of all Conversations & Knowledge’. The core intent of the app is teamwork through communication and the functions were ‘Assigning Tasks’ & ‘Organising Data’, these components were assessed with the help of color coded cubes ( Red , Green , Yellow) that directed the Movement and accessibility to the user in a systematic attire. The other project elaborated on an accommodation Space in synchronization with the Persona of Harry Potter and his Dual personality within two worlds- Muggle and Wizard world, throughout the storyline, wherein the transition amidst the two lifestyles have been viewed with the help of distinctive systematic grids , semi-open enclosures formed via foldable and replaceable lamina and binding elements called Poles. The narrative showcases directive movement, interaction and connection amidst two different worlds, both ushered via a systematic grid distinctive to the respective worlds and their functioning idols. By clubbing both the elements from the two design concepts, the resultant grid patterns interact with the play of transparency and circulation following the color-coded units and components.
