The Groups Were Divided And Instructed To Document The Dimensions Of The Body While Doing The Activities In The Assigned Position. Within The Groups, Members Were Given Different Activities. The Documentation Included Taking Photographs From All Sides While Doing The Activity And Making The List Of The Dimensions Which Created A Bank For Future Reference. After Noting Down All The Dimensions Of The Group Members, Average Male And Average Female Dimensions Were Calculated Within The Group Members Of The Given Position. Further, It Was Required To Imagine And Sketch Two Different Situations In The Assigned Position. In My Case, I Had To Imagine Myself In A Situation That Matched The Position Of ‘squatting And Sweeping The Floor With Broom’ As It Was The Activity Assigned To Me. ‘a Gargoyle Sitting On The Exterior Of A Church’ And ‘a Man Sitting Near The Campfire’ Are The Two Imaginary Situations That Matched The Sitting Position Of The Given Activity.

The exercise focused on representation and detailing, in order to improve the composition skills. It helped us to visualize various texts in a graphical format on an A3 sheet to be viewed as an encyclopedia spread. Alignment, text sizes, fonts, color schemes, margins and gutters were taken into consideration while designing the spread. Previous Next Sizzling Brownie

Shweta Sonakia : : : : : : : : : : : Cuadra San Cristobal, located in Mexico, was designed by landscape and minimalist architect Luis Barragan for his fellow rider friend Egerstom in the year 1966. The entire area of the structure is classified into different zones based on the flooring type and zoned out as the water body, the sand (main arena), the lawn, and the abandoned land used for the training of horses. The majority of the site area has been provided with different activities for the horses. The main feature of the structure is the water body and the pink wall. The silence of the huge arena is enhanced by the sound of the fountain – a thick stream of water spouted in an arch drawing inspiration from the Mexican ranches. The pink wall emphasizes the division between the residential area and the stable area as the public and private spaces. The vegetation beyond the pink wall subtle outs the dramatic effect by giving it a more earthy look. The pink wall gives the vision of the landscape beyond it. The overall colors create a dramatic effect. The colors, bold and intentional, allowing the sun to cast different stories each hour of the day on the wide arenas.

KV Parmeshwar Ar. Rohit Karekar Ar. Swapna Hankare Ar. Dhara Parekh : : : : : : : : : : : Plaster of Paris on its own is not strong enough to withstand tension. So is concrete. In order to understand the effect of reinforcement in concrete, two square slabs of the same dimensions were made using plaster of paris (P.O.P). In one of the slabs, a wire mesh was inserted and precaution was taken so that it would not be seen from any side. This is analogous to reinforcement bars in a concrete slab. After the slabs were fully dry, they were dropped from a height of 5 feet. Through this exercise, it is realised that with the embedding of the wire mesh, the structural strength of that slab increases and the amount of shattering reduces. Breakn’t

Over the years, many narratives of India have been told. Their accounts, often biased, glorify the powerful and omit tales of others, thereby only offering a myopic (limited) insight into the stories of our people. This studio carries forward the learnings from ‘Objects Mumbai' where the research cell at AOA identifies, observes, and analyzes everyday objects in Mumbai and their role in the narrative of the city. 75 OBJECTS OF INDEPENDENT INDIA

Narrative: 'Ashray', a haven of modular molecules, is a Covid-19 hospital that has been planned by identifying the different user groups and segregating them into categories so as to provide maximum efficiency of functioning and comfort and safety to the users. The hospital has been designed such that it is flexible and the wards can be interconvertible so as to suit the influx of patients. The Covid ICU block, the General Covid block and the Non - Covid General block have been separated so as to balance the circulation and movement of various types of users and patients. The hospital has been also planned so as to provide scope for expansion in the future, and to also permit the conversion into a regular hospital. Steel has been used to permit modularity so as to ease the manufacturing and construction process, and enable the hospital to be constructed within 100 days, which is extremely essential in these times of dire need.

The colour textures while enhancing the internal partitions. This style uses colours highlighting partitions and furniture while focusing on the spaces and detailing appropriately. The second illustration in the style of Arata Isozaki highlights the form along with curves. This language helps to play with sciography. Here, the fenestrations are evident from the viewing direction of the drawing. The play of volumes is perceptible in the way it is represented.

We understood how space adapts to the movement of the human body and responds to it. Various medieval & renaissance paintings were analyzed and then attempted to recreate the same. All this helped to understand the human body, its proportions, movements, and space. This methodology helped us to focus on both the qualitative and quantitative data. Then we made anthropometric drawings to further our understanding. We then found scenarios where these particular postures could be utilized in today’s world.
