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

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

It ranged from content & text selection to composing the graphics and font, in a manner that would generate flow for the reader. It aimed at improving composition skills which are valuable for architectural sheet compositions. The main focus of the exercise was representation and detailing, done through an encyclopedia spread made on an A3 sheet. Header, negative spaces, graphic placement & size, and rule of thirds were some of the factors considered for composing. Previous Next The Big Bang Theory

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

The proposed design is a commercial tower, proposed to house 80 offices, spanning across 32 floors. Depending on the user and cost, the number of offices on each floor has been planned in the design. 4 levels have been conceptualised, so as to provide various combinations in the floor layout. A special emphasis has been laid on the planning of breakout spaces or terraces, so as to catch the fresh air in a commercial environment, something that is totally absent in the city. They also serve as refuge areas, and have been planned at every 25 metres. The parking provision is done in the basement, where as a 6 m double heighted podium has been provided for drop-off as well as cafeteria facilities. Furthermore, to cater to the interactive needs, several punctures have been created into the solid of the building, which not only reduces the bulkiness and mass of the building, but also serve as breakout spaces of private terraces to the office spaces, as seen in the plan. The skin and the elevation have been designed according to the orientation of the building, thus increasing the sunlight entering.
