He lives with his wife and house help, who helps him in his business. His profession and their minimalistic yet traditional thoughts largely shaped the character of the spaces. The kitchen opened up to the dining area, creating the heart of the house. The kitchen accommodates his needs of having a space for online workshops with proper lighting. Their friends can enjoy Rohit’s delicacies in the dining area or hang out on the balcony while enjoying the sea view. The temporary setting for the maid forms her own space without impeding their privacy. The bedroom has a calm mood, with the bed being a blend of brass leg ends and intricate columns. The bathroom follows a similar theme of minimalism broken by patterned backsplash tiles. Slight curves break the minimalism and tie everything together. Overall, the minimalist and traditional elements coalesce into a distinctive character added to the home. Coalesce

Narrative: Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole. One of the world’s northernmost inhabited areas, it's known for its remote terrain of glaciers and frozen tundra sheltering polar bears, a great example of how people can live in the most inhospitable places. Its serene environment serves as a blank canvas for the creative minds and the northern lights attract tourists all year round. These portable tiny homes are meant to be used as flexible work spaces for photographers, artists, stargazers and tourists alike. The concept was to combine off-grid living with Working and to design a self-contained space big enough to call home, yet small enough to take anywhere. A site where ‘nature decides everything and we are the guests’, so also these houses are portable, sustainable and allow occupants to connect with nature.

Yagnik Bathija : : : : : : : : : : : Teamwork was our core intent and, performing tasks (previously: assigning tasks) and organising data were our two chosen functions. The user performs the task of organising the cubes to create a smooth way that reaches the top. Teamwork is necessary to plan the organisation of the cubes and then the users individually slide the blocks as decided. The space made of grids has a rectangular base of 4.5 x 3 metres and a height of 3 metres. Thus, the overall volume is 40.5 cubic metres. There are six levels, each at 0.5 metres high. The number of cubes on each level decreases from the bottom to the top. The blocks are to be slid along the horizontal axis only. The effort added was to develop a recreational and leisure space within labour camps for the working men. Keeping the activity these people are involved in, the idea of hybridising our two functions is blended to provide relaxation amenities employing pushing, sliding, and shifting dynamic solids to reach a common goal. interACT

Rishi Vora, Ar. Mehul Sanghvi : : : : : : : : : : : The site is situated at Goregaon (East) near film city. The Basti adjacent to the plot gives us a sense of community living or people having similar expectations from the society coming together to enhance this experience of living. The Basti and the IGIDR campus on the site are two examples where people having similar aspirations come together to live in a community. They live together and share their experiences, joy, sorrow, etc. Units come together to form space and the space enhances the experience of co-living. The units are either stacked, interlocked, or arranged in a way that maximizes interaction. Even during ancient times, the hunters would come together because they had some similar goals, and working in a group would provide them security and efficiency. They would form small groups and live together and this would suffice their needs as a community. They would build tents, houses and shelters such that it could enhance their interaction and workrate and help communicate better together. A similar concept is seen in the Basti. A sense of oneness, togetherness, and security is achieved through this! Previous Next Adaptable Units

Shruti Barve : : : : : : : : : : : Understanding the city spaces around the site , the site is centrally located on the seaside such that it brings the 3 parts of the city to a core congregation point . The approach road connects all the parts of the city to a single point . With the available green vacant spaces on the seaside, the city decided to increase its legacy of gardens in the city to the shores . Thus the green waterfront space was perfect to develop and bring the major tourist attraction. The space provided major connectivity to the roadways encouraging the view to attract the visitors. Major attractions around this site were Spottiswoode park , Pearl hill city park , Hong Lim park, Singapore cricket club, War memorial park and Singapore sports club. This shows the high amount of open spaces in the vicinity which can be extended to become the citys image. This site was thus highly suitable to become a city landmark space with high connectivity and the views offered. Also looking at the climatic conditions, it is suitable to bring up the ecosystem of nature into the site and its potential. Gardens By The Bay

Nachiket Kalle mahir19@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : : : : Space syntax is a set of techniques for analyzing spatial layouts and human activity patterns in buildings and urban areas. It is also a set of theories linking space and society. Space syntax addresses where people are, how they move, how they adapt, how they develop and how they talk about occupying a space. This theory has been applied on a smaller scale in the study of our own residence, where we are mapping out the levels one has to encounter from the entrance of the building to your study space.
