We chose the manifesto, “Five points of new architecture” by Le Corbusier to understand how a manifesto is written and shared with the public. Post various discussions and combine our critique as a group on the above we reflected, and stated our aspirations by penning down our own beliefs for a resilient future! The manifesto was to be presented as a written document stating the demands and declaration supported by a visual in any medium. Our manifesto, Provocative architecture highlights and discusses the futuristic idea of how architecture itself can become an expression to provoke its surroundings. We questioned why a building is only identified by its aesthetics and use, why not more? The video forms a visual representation of our manifesto and attempts to trigger the idea to provoke the designers to use the opportunity bestowed to them to focus on the true value for the society through their designs.

Saurabh Mhatre, Ar. Juhi Prasad : : : : : : : : : : : We began by using the architectural outcomes of our previous AD studio. After being assigned architect Enric Miralles, I chose one of his drawings and analyzed it. It was the floor plan of one of his apartments in Spain. I tried to understand the fundamentals of the drawing. The plan was made layer by layer on tracing sheets and, I followed the same steps to create my floor plan. I separated the drawing elements and combined them to form one complete drawing. The process of deconstructing a drawing made me look at various elements and the appropriate method of representation for the same. The outcome was the same floorplan that I began with but in Enric Miralles’s language. Previous Next Drawing In Conversation 3

Amey Ghosalkar kaankshi19@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : : : Competition Brief: The theme for the competition is Contextual Design: Creating Space, Re-interpreting Tradition Narrative: A practice and a medium to convey human experiences – cinema and architecture engages with parameters of spaces – frame, movement – scene and events, time – duration and time frames, that is the expression of cinema. Cinema effectively translates spatial cues to evoke emotions to the viewer. Thereby, the process of storytelling brings out the semblance. This is a juxtaposition of space that happens within it, the movement of bodies through it and program brings it alive in an existing immediate environment. This is to bring about the perception and experience of space (physical space) with inherent knowledge, contextual acclamation, memories and mental psyche (mental space). A fusion of our mental spaces and physical spaces constitute the living spaces. The context acts as a backdrop (setting) to enhance the mood and as metaphorical representation playing an active role. The spatial and contextual memories attached which assist to manipulate and evoke feelings of surprise and attachment. Focalization of character aids to develop unique trajectories and narrative for individuals bringing about the collective narratives and memories of a larger crowd related directly or indirectly in the surrounding. Arrangement of events (movement about spaces) satisfies the cognitive based emotions, which governs the perception and understanding of the space. The key use of visuals (frames) of the context to unfold the story which approaches the event as a time frame by slowing it down or pacing it up. The approach to perceive the story, the sensorial typology and space typology would be blended to highlight the ecosystem and the character - the actor at the embankment of his profession. Thereby, a 3 act structure is decoded in which act 1, sets up the world (site development – immediate context) and character (users). Act 2, raises the stakes to achieve, escalating the conflict (differences in experiences) and conflicts as second thoughts (re – interpreting interactions and experiences in the space as an impact of the context). Act 3 resolves the story, achievement/ failure, leaving an impact (glimpse of the structure/ space and its identity in the context) and enabling chance interactions – climax.

The architecture engages with the sky bringing the astronomical cent or symbols to the ground. The relationship would create a unique assignment where the vertical place interacts with the horizontal one. India's space programme has grown rapidly in recent decades, owing largely to the country's growing economic power and influence. In the coming years, India intends to become the fourth power to send astronauts to space, as well as to explore other celestial bodies with orbiters, rovers, and lenders, and eventually to send humans to do the same. This exponential growth in the field of astronomy has led to a setback in the astronomical education in the country and resulted in the lack of involvement of the public and lay man. This provides a unique opportunity to strengthen the latter. Astronomy and architecture have been in close contact for thousands of years, and we now know that in ancient times, many people tailored their buildings to specific astronomical alignments, following and analyzing the movements of the Sun and stars. There is a need to raise awareness about astronomy, as well as to provide interactive and open observation spaces for hands-on experiences. This research focuses on making astronomical research accessible and available to the public, as well as allowing for practical exploration through architecture.

Omkar Nandlaskar : : : : : : : : : : : Behind the mask of Urban development are hidden the growing concerns that stem from this urbanization. The Mithi river of Mumbai, that flows from the BKC-Dharavi region, is the most recent victim of this urbanization. This 18 Km long river is the dividing line between the unequal densities of commercial and residential fabrics. For generations, communities and occupations were thriving at the banks of the Mithi river but since the early 1980s, the nature of the river has taken a turn for the worse. Over the transects, multiple solutions have been provided to ease the difficulties of the river and the communities that dwell around it. The interventions in the targeted areas have been designed in a way that : 1. Help the river to swell 2. Add green spaces to the otherwise dull land-water edge 3. Defines the land-water edge and not allow the slum to spillover in the river. 4. Sensitizing the communities so that they keep the river clean. Over 350 years, the Mithi river has been a prey to our reckless treatment of natural resources. The river suffers, not alone and the outcome of this suffering can be seen in the vicinity of the river. This research and the associated proposals highlight the need to provide a breathing space for the river. The Future is NOW. Symbiosis, A Study Of The Mithi’s Edges

The serpentine gallery commissions architects to design a temporary pavilion for their gallery grounds and is considered one of the exciting projects. is built. The pavilion was analyzed through all aspects based on its structural framework, function, and the special use of certain materials like slate, the architect’s intention of creating architecture that still seemed to be a part of the existing nature. The research was then followed by the drafting of the plans, elevations, sections, joinery details which helped to understand the structure better.

Harshada Bapat Shintre : : : : : : : : : : : https://issuu.com/aoa_confluence_2022/docs/1738_akankshas_ddbook : Studio Conductors : : : Etymologically inferred from the word vihara- the quiet and serene Buddhist monasteries present-day Bihar has, in a brutal irony, been related with viciousness, rebellion, political turmoil, and economic stagnation. The generalization is so relentlessly inserted within the public imagination that the very mention of Bihar brings to mind, pictures of a political jungle raj and poor economic status. This unfortunate image has been covering minds for decades now. By 2004, The Economist magazine said that “Bihar [had] become a byword for the worst of India, of widespread and inescapable poverty, of corrupt politicians indistinguishable from mafia-dons they patronize, caste-ridden social order that has retained the worst feudal cruelties” The true picture of Bihar is quite the reverse. Since the late 1970s, Bihar has lagged far behind other Indian states regarding social and economic development for various reasons. But from 2004 to 2015, Bihar emerged as the fastest-growing state in India, clocking over 10 percent annual growth for the past decade and, in the process, more than doubling its economy. The state was once known for its education, religious influence, culture, and art. In order to develop the state socially and economically, it is important to change the image of the state by making the citizens aware of the significant history and future. This can be done by influencing the most active community that is the youth of the state. By providing a place they can call home, where they can learn and be prepared to face any challenges in the society. Despite progressive economic growth, human development challenges in the State are many and require growth momentum to be continued for years to achieve the desired level of sustainable development.- Bihar Government. The Objective of the dissertation is to design a self-sufficient skill development centre in Bihar to evoke a sense of growth and connection within the people while providing resources to develop skills and acquire employment without migrating out of the state. The proposal is very relevant in today’s time as it is the need of the hour. By educating and developing the youth about industrial skills and artforms(that Bihar is known for), we are not only providing quality learnings and employment opportunities but also taking a step towards changing the image of Bihar.
