Staggered: A 200 Bedded Covid Hospital (Runner up) Previous Next Email Guide Semester Competition Name Student Name Avani Mandpe Siddharth Agrawal Vinay Ekkaldevi Wipra Gada INSDAG Architecture awards 2020 V-VI Ar.

Parmeshwar avanim18@aoamumbai.in siddhartha18@aoamumbai.in vinaye18@aoamumbai.in wiprag18@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : : : Competition Brief: The aim of the competition was to design a 200 bed Covid hospital which is to be built in 100 days. 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.

Consisting of varied geometries, the study aimed to decode the patterns through the commonly used girih method. The intent was to understand the geometry in design through which the pattern is reckoned to emerge organically. Through digital exploration, the study focused on understanding and decoding the complex geometries of decagonal patterns in Mughal architecture and understanding the evolution of the Islamic geometry, its history and cosmology.

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

Building a movie out of a building (Top 32) Previous Next Email Guide Semester Competition Name Student Name Kaankshi Shah ACARA Rookies 2021-22 IV Ar. 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.
