From the Design to constructibility, a suitable facade was to be designed using curtain Glazing and Dry Cladding as a hybrid system. Along with it a Canopy was to be incorporated as an entrance gesture to the structure. The same building spaces were used to study and design Basic Services, Electrical Layout of the structure and Acoustical Services of the Auditorium. The designed Clubhouse is a G+1 structure with a ACP metal cladded facade in composition with Unitised Curtain Glazing system. Entrance to the structure is a large steel frame glass canopy as a welcome gesture. Spaces are designed taking in consideration the equitable lighting and acoustics required. The learnings of the Structure and Services is applied on the project, whilst researching and innovating newer methods to do the same. Club House for a Residential Complex 5

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.

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

Yashwant Pitkar : : : : : : : : : : : The drawing is an amalgamation of two arguments wherein, Argument 01 talks about the current economic pattern in the nation that indicates evident prevalent of the sense of deprivation, in the population of rural as well as the emerging urban contexts of India, whereas, Argument 02 talks about the rural population, to be precise, drifting apart from the age old local construction methodologies due to the rising misconceptions of their households & methods being generalized as temporary solutions for a shelter. Merging the two arguments, it can be concluded that the ill effects of the existing economic pattern directly has an impact on the rural population & their local & traditional architectural practices. The rural population in the present day is quite efficiently targeted, influenced & manipulated by the commercialization agendas. Misconceptions rise up within the rural population, wherein owning commercialized goods & living an urban life are seen as measures of development. This gives rise to large scale migration of the rural population to the neighboring urban centers. Eventually this gives rise to mass Brain Drain in the rural contexts of the nation. As per the theory, Brain Drain at one end results in Brain Gain at the opposite end, thus maintaining an equilibrium. But, the mass migration is destined to urban centers of Tier 1 or 2, where the market is dominantly run & based on mass production, hence resulting in exploitation of the rural population. The existence & domination of mass producing industries negates the theory which hampers the equilibrium. Fragmenting down to rural architecture & rural economy, they function in parallel to eachother. If the economy revolves within the community or the village under consideration, based on the principles of self-sufficiency, a decentralized economic pattern can be achieved. The local governing bodies can ensure, through the government policies that are drafted in favor of rural development, the issues to be resolved on a grass root level, with the community, by the community & for the community.

Sanjay Mehta : Studio Conductors : : : Video Links : ‘Apparatus of Amusement’ started with the understanding of the age of Anthropocene and the impact that humans have on the surroundings, through the commodified world we live in. The consumerist strategies lead to a numb state of mindless consumption at the epitome of consumerist typology of the ‘shopping mall’. These extravagances lead to the collective notion of excesses termed as ‘waste’. The project challenges to reverse the conventional notion of retail in a hyper-mediated urban setting of Irla in Mumbai, by using the post-consumption objects in our ‘buy and discard’ society, oscillating roles of a consumer to provide radical solutions to move towards ‘circularity’ The project proposes at three scales- Repurpose decentralized system, Repurposing of the Prime mall and Irla street project intervention. The journey for the role-players starts with a path being chosen based on the anchors of the retail for post-consumption, plastic households, garments, fashion and smartphones electronics. The role-players go through individual processes to repurpose a specific object. The programmatic components include the wall of labor as protagonist, the apparatuses, the event space, the hall of experiments, and the labyrinth consumer’s playground. The project tries to reframe the role of humans in the social and ecological sphere as a shift in the current paradigm for decentralizing ways to manage our objects in our ‘buy and discard’ society.
