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

The city is known as the ‘Orange city’ of the country. This unique identity is due to the peculiar variety of oranges cultivated in this region. Owing to the characteristics of the variety with origin in the city, Nagpur received the geographical Indication(GI) status for the same in 2014. Mandarin orange, also known as Nagpur santra now, is the common type of orange widely cultivated in the region. It was brought to Nagpur by the then ruler, towards the end of the 18th century. The fruit soon became very popular and Nagpur got known for its orange cultivation gaining a certain reputation in the Indian market. However, the identity is not exploited in a public realm. There is no identified platform between the farmers/producers and the citizens where they can market and share their experience of the entire process. It is only spoken about and can be heard in news articles. There is no place in and around the city through which the sense of identity can be perceived. Thus, there is a need to reinforce this identity and exploit it beyond the tag. The study revolves around understanding the farming scenario worldwide to further narrow it down at the city level. The process will also generate a dialogue with the farmers being the primary producers and understanding the obstacles faced by them in their occupation as a farmer. This will also aid to understand the scope of the fruit in the processing industry. The objective is to reduce the gap between farmer and consumer and allow direct benefits to the primary producer. The larger aim is to create an association for the people thereby strengthening the identity for the city holistically. The idea revolves around the farming and the allied programs that can be derived, considering orange as the key produce along with other crops depending on their coexistence. Developing various programs based on the scope of the fruit to engage the people in an interactive way, also building a farmer- consumer relationship. Such an intervention will not only motivate the farmers but also create tourism opportunities for the people through agriculture, consequently boosting the agricultural economy of the region. Such a series of developments will add a new layer to the city thus contributing towards its economy and identity for the future. Reinforcing Nagpur’s identity as ‘Orange city’, thereby creating a layer of citizen association.

Sacred Architecture has the ability to help its users transcend physicality. But what is this character of Sacred Architecture that Transcends the sense of Physicality and immerses itself in the realm of the intangible? Spirituality is often not about the divine, it is about perceiving the process of life at its fullest potential. Spirituality is to see something for exactly what it is and not a version envisioned in your mind. Transcendence is the ability to go beyond the range of limits of a field (of act or conceptual sphere). The ability to transcend is to elevate yourself beyond the physicality of this realm. Sacred Architecture allows you to feel this Spirituality and hence allows you to Transcend the physical Realm. The true character of Transcending Architecture is its ability to change your emotion to that of a pleasant one. This mood or emotion you feel is what allows you to imbibe your surroundings, allowing you to perceive what truly exists and hence facilitates the notion of Spirituality and Transcendence. This form of Architecture is the tangible means to see, feel and experience Sacredness and Transcendence. The Spiritual Transcendence of Sacred Architecture
