The split roof is the highlight of the structure, enabling part of the structure to act as a viewing deck. The other half allows the users to gaze at the stars through the skylight as they comfortably lay on the floor. A cantilever beam supports the viewing deck projecting from the roof, to ensure the safety of the users. Strategic placement of columns has resulted in creation of larger multifunctional spaces surrounded by smaller pockets of semi open areas. The planters in the structure give a sublime look to the space, while also establishing a visual accessibility across the ground floor and the dog legged staircase. Beyond the roof

It opened the doors for free trade through the government policies in the name of development. Over the years these reforms have led to a centralized economy in the nation, recently leading the private organizations to influence the drafting of government policies. The effects of the centralized system is evidently seen through the “development” of the urban centres, solely. The development pattern depends on these urban centres which somehow have ill effects on the rural parts of the nation. This leads to an unhealthy connection between the rural & urban parts of India, usually in the form of Brain Drain, through the medium of migration. M.K.Gandhi through his writings & speeches always preached about the importance of a decentralized economy wherein the villages forms the foundation of nation building in all aspects. The Gandhian Philosophy of Decentralization aims to envision all the distinct authorization bodies at different levels to be on one equal platform, with equal delegation of authority, unlike the centralized system that follows a hierarchic pattern leading to discrepancies in terms of monetary as well as authorization factors. The enhancement of a decentralized system is a path ahead towards a sustainable habitat of the nation, not just economically, but also to attain a lovable living condition.

Narrative: The architectural value of the design mainly lies in creating a happy and spirited atmosphere for its users in times of loss of hope. The concept takes root in symbolism, taking inspiration from the chemical compound of serotonin, the hormone that stabilizes our feelings of happiness.Flexibility was kept at the helm of the design owing to the unpredictability of the times.The structure is planned with repeating floor plates and efficient services that helps in inverting and expanding the use of spaces in case of adversities. The scheme was fast track construction. Hence, phases of construction were set adhering up to a 100 day timeline. A hybrid construction technique was opted for to achieve the desired form in minimum time. The steel details were designed feasible and comprehensive to even laymen to pave way for maximum workforce. The structure entails a horizontal spread and a vibrant, staggered façade. Central voids were created in the hospital blocks to provide for courtyards and increase active facades.The varied fronts and levels give a sense of dynamism to the form, drawing keen parallelism to the nature of the pandemic.Ultimately, the aim of the design is to keep everyone apart, yet together.

Shivani Mehta, Ar. Anisha Mehta, Ar. Ronak Savla, Ar. Nikita Sharma : : : : : : : : : : : Can an app have a real-life prototype that resembles and displays how the app works? The Appsolute exercise in Semester 1 pushed us to do just that. We made a 3d working model which showed how the OkCupid app worked. We later made a graphic for it on an individual level. The vertical cylinders in the center of the graphic symbolize the different profiles which we see on the app. The ramp is the pathway on which one can walk and see these different profiles. Each person using the app (or the model in this case ) has 2 options, either to like a profile or ignore it. If the person wants to like a profile, they swipe right in the app. In the graphic, the user rotates the cylinder in a clockwise direction, which then makes the cylinder fall down and hit a metal surface, making a ringing sound, which resembles the notification sound the person being liked gets on their phone.

The process involved tracing the painting and analyzing the spaces. Further, this was analyzed through a set of technical drawings, which helped understand the anthropometry of the human body. After the analysis, we had to enact body postures of a scene from the painting and create the diagram with proper anthropometric measurements. Further, these body postures were perceived as an interaction with the cityscape in the modern-day era. Previous Next Body And Movement In Space 2
