Narrative: The proposal puts forth a holistic program to introduce Grottole in an indigenous manner, making the ruined church a prime tourist destination while retaining its cultural identity. The design aims at glorifying the broken crown- Chiesa Diruta, a lost symbol of the town and reviving the past sentiments of the people while reconnecting them back to the church. Chiesa Diruta, acts as a focal point of the town offering a vantage point through which the entire village of Grottole is seen. Building on the cultural roots of the town with performing arts, ceramics and wine acting as aids, the proposal works towards reincarnating the town and its life. The use of wire mesh as a material is what works to capture the essence of the church. The wire mesh helps in completing the church without actually completing the building. This intervention allows the user to experience the space as a single entity without stealing away from the essence of the ruins. The church appears to be completed from far, but as the users approach closer to the church, they seem to connect with the ruins and experience them better.

These are born out of various differences of opinions in schools of thought and the yearning to learn and explore further. Out of seven endophenotypes (behavioral traits) in mammals, ‘seek’ and ‘play’ are the ones common among all. ‘Seeking’ refers to the curiosity and it is only through this quality that we learn to question and discover new concepts. It was the curiosity in questioning an existing theory; Modernism, that led to the theory of Phenomenology being proposed. The origin of interest in this topic stemmed out of a similar curiosity to understand how certain spaces are designed that impart impactful experiences. Phenomenology in simple architectural terms translates to the quality of sensorially stimulating experience of space. In the last few decades, the approach has found its way into practice and has been extensively theorized. The theory has also found a scientific grounding in recent years and provides answers to the reason why the theory works when applied in spatial design. In the pursuit of enriching spaces with stimulatory experiences, the theory seems to have found application in numerous architectural typologies. In addition, the scientific standing ensures a promising success rate. However, the theory seems to cater majorly to ‘the human subject’. In other words, the theory is anthropocentric and seems to give consideration only to the human perception of space. Here laid the opportunity to inquire about the application of the theory and whether it can be further extended to all perceptive beings. Hence, the therianthropic (a mix of human and animal) subject of inquiry. Humans alone are not the only beings capable of space perception. However, most spaces are designed to cater to the human user despite there being a wide array of animals exposed to our architecture. In several cases, humans have employed the sensorial capabilities of other animals for their own occupation. An increasing amount of the human population has also allowed animals to live with them inside their homes as a part of their family. In such a case, it is almost selfish to assume that architectural space production is limited to human usage and perception. The thesis explores the possibility of expansion of the ‘subject’ of phenomenology and the validity of the proposal while trying to remain true to the postulates of the theory. By taking an example of the Canine-Human relationship, the research makes an attempt to act as a case in point for the theoretical enquiry of the application of phenomenology in therianthropic ‘subjects’. Exploring the applications Phenomenology in Therianthropic ‘subjects’

Narrative: The proposed intervention is located in the city of St John, Newfoundland sits on a high contour in proximity to the famous cultural hub “The Rooms” and overviews a panoramic view of the lake to the south. Languages such as Beothuk, Mi’kmaq, Irish, Scottish Gaelic have developed and designed this city in various aspects. Experiences through languages permanently creates connotations. It directly connects your mind to the place. The proposal helps experience the journey of languages internally as well as externally by playing with the volumes and levels respectively. The design follows a geometric complexity, which integrates with the cityscapes, and itself creates a unique style. The design respects the natural slope of the site, thus resulting in minimal intervention with the contours. The design includes multiple glass facades which help establish relationships with the interior and exterior. The transparency between the outer and inner is helping to experience the cityscape. The glass facade towards the backside delivers a vantage for the inclusive city. Spaces such as workshop rooms would allow tourists to learn the languages or about the history of the languages. We conclude that the project is taking one through the languages and letting them experience its impact at its time thus “Langvoyage “

The design of bridges is not only an engineers' area of expertise, but the functionality, the seamlessly effective urban integration, and the aesthetic quality of these public work spectacles fall definitively in the architects’ domain. This studio intends to study and analyze different bridges in the world built by architects through various mediums of research. ARCHITECTONICS OF BRIDGES

Harshada Bapat Shintre : : : : : : : : : : : https://issuu.com/aoa_confluence_2022/docs/1635_prajwals_ddbook : Studio Conductors : : : Building Materials are considered a very important part of the construction sector in today’s time. There is a major concern about resource consumption and the ever-growing environmental impacts of the built structure. The world at this moment is consuming resources for building construction more than it can produce for which eventually will result in a total depletion of these resources and one would have to continue looking for alternative building materials in order to continue constructing. Urban materials of construction have dominated the construction industry. These materials are much more powerful in terms of systematic, mass and vertical construction. But now as the concern for alternative sources of material has raised and as technology has evolved over the time. It is essential to explore alternative sources of materials, which will provide solution to the construction industries. On the other hand world faces an issue of waste generation over the years. India being 18% of world’s human population account for nearly 27% of world’s municipal solid waste generated every year. The curiosity arises if this waste can be used as an alternative building material. In addition, it is necessary to study if these newly generated materials can be adopted in terms of strength, compression and stability and if these materials can cope up with the existing building materials in terms of usage, cost and work efficiency. Hence, the necessity to back up the data and study arrives. The research talks about the viability impact of these materials in comparison to different material. Waste: As Material of Construction
