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

Sanjay Mehta : Studio Conductors : : : Video Links : Increasing global urbanization has resulted in the decline of local biodiversity and suitable habitat for wild flora and fauna. Indigenous bees in particular are poorly understood and treated as pests. The lack of baseline information in India, encumbers the scientists who monitor their movements and fluctuations in population. In this study, melittological data has been compared and analysed to generate methods to integrate bees within the urban matrix in order to maintain the ecological balance of our metropolitan surroundings and build resilient cities. By comparing various biodiversity measures between open land and dense urban sites, through the lens of architectural mediation, a hypothesis was generated to provide and protect habitats of indigenous bee species. Urban interventions such as pollinator pathways, biodiverse green roofs etc, as potential avenues to provide patches of good-quality habitat to indigenous bees in highly developed regions have been discussed. Concerns regarding the phenomenon of nature deficit disorder have been addressed through the function of a Melittology center allied with a market, where citizens can view firsthand the impact of pollinators on their produce. Furthermore implications for pollinator conservation and urban agricultural production are discussed. Keywords: Pollinator conservation; urban biodiversity; indigenous bees; habitat loss; urban agriculture; food security, resilient city, nature deficit disorder.

Narrative: The Idea of afterlife begins with immortal memories which are taken over by excitement about life beyond.The soul starts it journey from human vessel in form of dispersed energy which is summoned and compressed to spherical form at arrival space by spherical capsule summoners .As it swooshes out towards a central hall it starts recollecting its memories and emotions.Stepping in the central hall the vibes here ignites excitement about life beyond and memories starts fading.The central hall represent the tree of life ,its lights that lits with every new life born and dims with its way towards end.It holds record for whole life of person.This record is passed on with souls..The central spire throws a divine light continuously that creates excitement about what’s inside.Through the divine falling waters the inherited records from central hall decides its further path. The central spire has a infinity light ray passing through center which excites them towards final leave to their new journey.They curiously move along the stairs to finally disperse to their afterlife .The twist here is that the souls experience the same excitement of afterlife without noticing that they actually changed paths according to their deeds .The one going to negative space have turned upside down which is still upside for them towards new life and is a new beginning.The bridge that remains firm in between shows that the initial path was same while it was them who decided the further paths with their deeds.Despite of this ,the departure for both remains as a exciting part for a new beginning of life towards light.Stairs at top opens through and through showing the break through from all barriers of life.

Parameshar kartikap19@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : : : Electricity is the flow of electric power or charge. It is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has the property of electric charge. CONVENTIONAL SOURCES OF ELECTRICITY Conventional Sources of Energy are also known as non-renewable sources of energy and are available in limited quantities. These non-renewable sources of energy are the decaying matters, which take over hundreds of years to form, for example, coal, petroleum, etc. So, if they are depleted once, they can never be generated at a speed or pace, which could sustain their rate of consumption. NON-CONVENTIONAL/RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ELECTRICITY These are replenished by natural processes, that too continuously. The non-conventional sources of energy can’t be exhausted easily and can be generated at a constant rate for their use over and over again. Furthermore, these energy sources do not pollute the environment and natural surroundings and require less expenditure. A few examples of non-conventional sources of energy include wind energy, tidal energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, and biomass energy. The reason why they are also called renewable sources of energy lies in the fact that they can be produced or generated through natural processes, at a rate greater than or equal to the rate of their consumption.

Harshada shintre, Ar. Joel Roy, Ar. Amey mhatre : : : : : : : : : : : Throughout this exercise, various pavilions around the world were studied. One such pavilion was the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, built by Selgas Cano architects in 2015 in London. The pavilion was analyzed based on its structural framework, geometry, function, and materials. The circulation inside the pavilion, the user experience, and the richness of the spaces created due to colorful light reflections were researched and studied. A few references helped to understand quantitative data like proportions and measurements. The result was a set of plans, sections, elevations, and an isometric drawing that showed various aspects of the pavilion through different layers. Lastly, an expression drawing was developed, showing how the pavilion acts as a flexible space that attracts a lot of people every year through its intriguing aspects.
