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’

Second and third-tier cities in India are often left with basic built forms which are barely functional and not aesthetically pleasing. What can be done to ensure that each and every person can experience architecture and that Indian society does not mimic the architecture of the western business model but stays true to its regional context? How can our country live up to the true meaning of democracy? Decentralizing Architecture

Majority of times we present and perceive it in a very formal way – ‘It is what it is’. But in the daily serious and busy life, we forget to enjoy our environment in which we live. The College project looks at built in a humorous way and tries to question the reality through sarcastic visualizations of the built and talk about its story. HOWISEEIT

Narrative: Mumbai, a city of seven islands, is one of the biggest cities of India and is also the financial and entertainment capital of the country. Post-independence, these industries attracted people from all over the country in search of jobs. Flash floods/ seasonal floods trouble the city almost every year. This leaves many vulnerable populations without shelter and food. Thus, students from Rachana Sansad's academy of architecture propose a solution by identifying possible sites and campuses and redesigning them for better disaster management of the city. Our team has partnered with the BMC G- South Ward office of Mumbai to identify these vulnerable settlements and populations and provide adequate facilities in times of disasters. By using shipping containers, the design offers a rapid construction time frame and better structural resilience. Vihaan with the way it has been designed, is an efficient solution to absorb panicked people in difficult times, calm them down and accommodate them making them feel as if it's their home.

Water in winters starts to freeze in a conical shape and feed the farms when the water is most needed by the farmers. What is Ice Stupa?

The second half involved initially being introduced to framing, widening and lengthening joineries that are used to join two wooden members and then studying elements like floor, roof, staircase, doors and windows in timber wood.

Teja Gavankar : : : : : : : : : : : The exercise involved analysis of the human body and its movement in space. It helped to understand how the human body is related to the surrounding environment and how space has been formed accordingly. The Renaissance painting, School Of Athens, was analyzed to study human body anthropometry in a space created in a painting through a few technical drawings. Further, these human body proportions and postures were related to the cityscape and activities similar to that posture. Scenarios like a person reading a book in a room, the delivery person asking for an address, people doing window shopping, people asking for a ball, the person falling while cleaning a room were some examples. This helped to understand space and its interaction with the human body. The drawings of Philip Steadman were used as a reference to create these drawings. Previous Next Body And Movement In Space 3

So, Jack and Jill went up the hill, To fetch a pail of water, Secrets were revealed by his will, But shocked, Jill came tumbling after.
