The Temple Complex is divided into 3 main zones : Entrance Gate , Open Transition Path and Temple. The Temple shines bright due to its marble laden material with a golden Shikhara at top , attracting like a sacred force. The Central Open Space and Sky cover enables worshippers to direct towards the main Temple Form. 1- The Gradation of voids and Transparency of Entrance Gate allows people to comprehend the importance of space , making it legible and safe. 2- The Central Arch Form corresponds with the sleek staircase to create the right amount of grasping quality. The Facade character formed with stone intricacy and simplistic monotony of color generates complexity to be able to read the elevation. 3- The Scale of Setting along with Marble as main material creates visual Balance and central open space , parallel shops , seating spaces provokes a comfortable spatial environment for worshippers to form a mental map for sequence.

Then, combine the two logics and geometry for the outcome of the juxtaposed geometries. The basic grids consisted of a pattern by visual artist Tauba Auerbach, translation rotation by Julio Le Parc, artwork by Luiz Sacilotto, a four-fold pattern in Humayun's tomb, and musical serial composition by Lidy Prati. These artworks formed the basis for the creation of hybrid grids. The final gridscape drawing consists of one of the hybrid grids generated, the plan of the existing structure, and the field plan of ice hockey. By combining and layering all these grids, the internal divisions and the hybrid grid acts as an internal arrangement of the objects on the base plan, while the ice hockey player position marks the overall movement patterns in the entire space. So this exercise aims at understanding and then reimagining the basic logic to create an interesting illustration. Previous Next Taxonomy Of Grids 2

Exercise helped understanding the various representational styles. It started with simple isometric, axonometric views and further extended towards one-point and two-point perspectives. The process of each representation style first covered basics through small geometric forms followed by exercises including large rooms and localities. Further exploration was done by exploding methods to learn to represent the design in detail. Exercise focused on line weights, scale, dimension i.e. overall neatness of the drawing and understanding of the concepts of behind every representational drawing type Previous Next ARD Portfolio 2

The mobile phone contains few individual parts namely an antenna, LCD, keyboard, microphone, speaker, battery and most important circuit board. Hearing all this sounds very fancy but there is also a darker side to this. To find the material required for the parts the mobile phone companies involve a malpractice of child labor at various mines, one of them being the cobalt mines in Congo and only give the labourers subsistence wages for their work. The material required for the phone is sourced from all over the world. After the use of phone for a certain year the phone is recycled to a certain extent. The companies sent the metal part to the Melter melts the metals; precious metals are recovered while the other metals are burnt which led to carbon emission. So, the mobile phone actually costs a lot apart from its price What Is The Actual Cost Of Mobile Phone?

Teja Gavankar : : : : : : : : : : : Throughout this exercise, we studied the relationship between body movement and space. Through this research process, we began to understand how space could adapt to the movement of the human body, respond to it, allow it to happen, but not force it, defining the relationship between the body and its movement in space. We began our investigation by studying various medieval & renaissance paintings and utilizing their diverse scenarios for the focus of our inquiry. We then re-create/enact and record various movements of the body in space and analyze them through chronophotography, which formed the basis to study and understand the structural and constituent elements of each movement. This methodology allowed to focus on qualitative and quantitative data, which can be further analyzed through technical drawings. We used these understandings to identify the activities related to these postures. Previous Next Body And Movement In Space 4

Shekoba Sanap : : : : : : : : : : : Blending Architecture with nature and humans, the Hospitable Crown is a camping site that combines the built with its users and surroundings. The design seamlessly integrates the built with the surrounding context, thus connecting them, both visually and physically, and enhancing the user experience. To bridge the users to nature, spaces are designed to follow a defined hierarchical pattern of open, semi-open, and closed zones that unfold gradually. The built form turns inwards and houses the user within it. The landscape design plays a major role in defining the axis of movement for the users. In addition to the concept of integrating the built with the unbuilt and users, it was essential to blend architecture with its vicinity to provide a living crown. The roof completely merges with the topography, which helps involve locals thereby providing them with jobs and enhancing their economy. This also helps visitors learn the local knowledge, and connect with its vicinity and nature, consequently increasing interaction and enhancing collective living. Previous Next Nisarga- Farm House 6

Further on, different possibilities and their applications were also explored. The inspiration of these folds came from nature. Different organisms and plants were studied to understand the composition of their natural folds. Based on this study, the most feasible fold composition was selected and its application in the real architectural world was speculated. Folded Plates 2
