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

The location, climate, topography and all other features were supposed to be assumed and the design was altered according to the climatic conditions. The house typology is considered to be situated in Jodhpur, which has a hot and dry climate. The following aspects were considered while altering the design: Orientation of the building Landscape Positioning of the courtyard Presence of water body Windows and Openings Roof, Cavity Walls and Textures These aspects were then used and interpreted with the help of sketches in order to explain the altered design.

Narrative: The “15-minute city” is an approach to urban design that aims to improve quality of life by creating cities where everything a resident needs can be reached within 15 minutes by foot, bike or public transit. This concept puts an emphasis on careful planning at the neighborhood level, giving each district the features it needs to support a full life – including jobs, food, recreation, green space, housing, medical offices, small businesses and more and most importantly, it’s a proposal that doesn’t require a car. A 15-minute city has affordable, accessible and adaptable housing for households of all sizes and ages. It is easy to get goods and services, healthcare, fresh groceries, and all other amenities. The need for transportation is minimized to a great extent to curb pollution and keep a check on people’s health and wellbeing.

Narrative: The vision of creating a machine like system which works like a factory to heal the patients is the idea of the project. Rethinking about the healthcare infrastructure is of the utmost need of the time, because of the collapse which India especially Mumbai has seen due to the outbreak of the coronavirus is unimaginable. The idea of creating control over movement and sequences of patients in cooperation with infrastructure development is the need of healthcare architecture. There has to be some initiative which ponders upon the idea of sustaining any kind of pandemic catering to huge amount of patients which can only be achieved through the system of proper control and expansions with a strong backup. Sticking to the basics of factories' process of manufacturing, packaging and delivering; one with this monotonous routine can have a clear idea of connections with no loopholes for any sabotage or out-break. The tree like planning governs an upper hand over the existing rhizomatic planning for better connections and proper safety of care takers. We strongly believe that steel as a material would act as a catalyst in this process of creating fast, simple and a basic design.

A recreational and leisure space within the labour camps can be accessed by the labourers during their working hours. The labourers, who would still be in the shell of their workplace, would have the opportunity to be creative using the solid - cubes. The user has to then climb through the levels sliding only the number of movable blocks placed on that level. They can configure and organise the blocks to reach the top of this grid network to enjoy the surrounding view or even eat lunch there. Through the graphic, the representation of human interaction with the solids is shown, which is a very important part of this space. Previous Next Cubes

Shruti Barve : : : : : : : : : : : As part of an international competition, 1982-83, to revitalize the abandoned and undeveloped land from the French national wholesale meat market and slaughterhouse in Paris, France, Bernard Tschumi was chosen from over 470 entries including that of OMA/Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, and Jean Nouvel. For Tschumi, Parc de la Villette was not meant to be a picturesque park reminiscent of centuries past; it was more of an open expanse that was meant to be explored and discovered by those that visited the site. Tschumi wanted the park to be a space for activity and interaction that would evoke a sense of freedom within a superimposed organization that would give the visitors points of reference. Parc de la Villette is designed with three principles of organization which Tschumi classifies as points, lines, and surfaces. The 135 acre site is organized spatially through a grid of 35 points, or what Tschumi calls follies. The series of follies give a dimensional and organizational quality to the park serving as points of reference. The repetitive nature of each folly, even though each one is unique and different, allow for the visitors to retain a sense of place through the large park. Parc De La Villette

The designed structure is a physical manifestation of the same with a unique user interface representing the various features of the app. The two striking features of the app are - how it allows one to make groups and balance debts. These have been portrayed in the form of three non-uniform cylinders, each representing a group of different sizes. Each cylinder consists of a platform and a ring that has a seesaw mechanism signifying the balancing and simplifying of debts which come across as the physical mass of the participants. The focus of the graphic was to show the functioning of each group and how people interact with it. The choice of an exploded lets one to view the inner working of the group with an overview of how each group has different heights and sizes. Humans have been represented in different colours to signify different interactions with the groups. A combination of leader lines and pop-outs have been used to further explain the minute attributes. Everything comes together to form a unified graphic. Previous Next Splitwise
