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.

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

The cities have fairly adapted to these changes in every aspect due to the over growing population, change in housing typology and the economical changes. There are noticeable changes in the housing typology as well which can be visually noticed even though not experienced. There are various housing typologies observed in the cities depending on various demographics such as number of occupants in the family, types of user groups, age groups,etc. Making it a subjective topic. Due to rapid urbanization, cities are growing day by day and also there is a demand for the residential sector because of migration and also the cities are getting denser and highly populated. Present day need for shelter is increasing due to an increase in population. Hence, housing and redevelopment is a subject of curiosity among the working class of the city. The construction of high density low-rise housing apartments was an attractive option for lower and middle-income buyers as the cost of construction is less for such developments making the purchase affordable for them. In such dense living environments, it is important to know whether the social and psychological needs of people are fulfilled in order to achieve a healthy physical environment. Housing is a composite commodity that fulfills various needs. It is not just a dwelling unit because it is required to fulfill various human needs of socializing, security, engagement with the neighborhood, etc.The needs of humans are vast apart from just a basis need for shelter it is important to be well informed about the social spaces in a community living and how it molds the social lifestyle of a person. The relationship between humans and the built environment is diverse and also it helps use to understand their idea of socializing and adaptive measures to be taken while proposing a redevelopment project in such scenarios. The study tries to find out many ways of establishing social well being in redeveloped structures and how to engage people in socializing and community based interactions. It also studies the life in chawls in urban context and the use of space or their adaptive activities in order to live in chawls.

This involves numerous types of drawings, each of which highlights surfaces parallel to one of the three planes. These views were carefully drafted, giving utmost importance to neatness and line intensities. Further detailing can be represented by exploding or cutting through these three-dimensional views. The drawings include isometric views, axonometric views, oblique views and one-point and two-point views. The said views were explored by representing smaller objects as well as larger contexts to gain a wholesome understanding of what each drawing conveyed the best. These exercises prove to be essential when it comes to decision making regarding what drawing to choose to best explain one’s design. Previous Next ARD Portfolio 1

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
