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.

The Appsolute exercise in Semester 1 pushed us to do just that. We made a 3d working model which showed how the OkCupid app worked. We later made a graphic for it on an individual level. The vertical cylinders in the center of the graphic symbolize the different profiles which we see on the app. The ramp is the pathway on which one can walk and see these different profiles. Each person using the app (or the model in this case ) has 2 options, either to like a profile or ignore it. If the person wants to like a profile, they swipe right in the app. In the graphic, the user rotates the cylinder in a clockwise direction, which then makes the cylinder fall down and hit a metal surface, making a ringing sound, which resembles the notification sound the person being liked gets on their phone.

Mahesh Khanolkar, Ar. Rupa Sheth, Ar. Rajan Kulkarni : : : : : : : : : : : The brief demanded a maritime university with other ancillary functions including laboratories, workshops, training spaces and a hostel for the students along with a museum which showcases the journey of the maritime field in all its glory. The biggest challenge for this project on a personal level was to deal with these two completely contrasting functions, one being a private, strict, disciplined system while the other being open to all the people who wish to visit it thus making it a very public endeavor. It was important to ensure that these functions get their due privacy and at the same time are not restricted by each other's presence. The uni-exhibition is an attempt to transform the university and its day-to-day functioning into an exhibit that allows the public, that is coming in to visit the museum, to visually interact with it without disturbing it. The museum in such a context has two prominent advantages, the first being its close proximity to the sea without which the field of maritime could not exist and second being a part of the university that ensures the continuity of the field. Together, these two made the past, present and future of maritime and thus, it became essential to exhibit them as well before introducing people to the museum. The context consists of petroleum plants and industrial facilities making the site fairly isolated from public contact, the main road being over 3km away from it. The introduction of the Trans-Harbor link, construction of which is currently underway, would connect Sewri to Navi Mumbai via a sea bridge which would bring in a lot of influx into Sewri. Consequently, the future prospect of Sewri is bright and thus, it was important to deal with built typology sensitively as it would set an example for the future development in the region.

Shivani Mehta, Ar. Anisha Mehta, Ar. Ronak Savla, Ar. Nikita Sharma : : : : : : : : : : : The graphic intends to convey the concept of the design for the given space. The design takes cues from the NIKE- mobile application. The space consists of different hexagonal cells each of which has a different experience. When a person looks at the space from outside, he can set a goal of what type of experience he wants. Out of these, the larger space is the common place where social interaction is the most prominent. People can sit or stand here and interact for a while. This place is accessible by jumping on the other cells, but one may also climb onto it directly from the ground. Thus, one can follow different ways to reach a particular goal cell. Hence the space is designed in a way to give a quick experience of social interactions and of setting goals. The graphic explains the same by means of repeating the elevation that would then portray different ways of interacting with the space designed. Previous Next Nike

Rajan Kulkarni : : : : : : : : : : : The project was to design a veterinary institute and hospital in the commercial suburb of Lower Parel in Mumbai. Nestled in the middle of the cosmopolitan, the main aim of the concept was to simulate a spatial relationship between humans and animals and establish a holistic environment of interaction and co-existence for both. After studying animal psychology extensively, the design incorporates various design interventions, aiding the same. Terracotta fins; and open and well-ventilated corridors are inspired by the vernacular built of old structures in Mumbai. The form is organic and curvilinear and aids in seamlessly connecting all the structures on the site thereby, fostering a link between its varied users. The external-internal connection has been devised diligently in several ways where humans and animals have a connection in some way, at all points. The green pockets blend in with the built and ultimately render a free-flowing openness amidst the two curved arms of the structure. Previous Next Maritime Institute/ Veterinary Institute 2
