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.

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.

Teja Gavankar : : : : : : : : : : : This studio involved an understanding of the relationship between body movements and space. 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.

Both the firms believe in research and coming up with new innovative ideas. Not only for the projects but self research and proposing the same to the government and private organizations. Not just landscape but these firms take up a variety of projects like infrastructure, restoration of historical sites and many more but yes still giving these some ecological values. HNS architects believe in a culture of collaboration where they work together with people from different fields and thus not restricting the team to their firm only. Akshay kaul is also believed to work with new people in almost every project and not having a particular team for better results and innovative designs. Sustainability and water management is the main part of each project and solutions through landscape meaning as seen in the two projects where an unused quarry site and the sound reduction problem were addressed through a landscape design. Lastly, we can see despite being two firms based in different countries and context we find similarities in the way they function Case Study HNS ARCHITECTS and AKSHAY KAUL

Both companies believe in research and the development of new, innovative ideas, proposals not only for projects but also for self-research and recommendations to government and private organizations. When we compare international and Indian firms, we can see that both have a more stratified hierarchy and authority, with specific tasks assigned to each member, whereas in a smaller firm, multitasking is common, and such specific boundaries are blurred. There is a disparity in the number of workers. MVVA primarily works on public and government projects, utilizing its large size and superior technologies to design the entire project in a shorter period. Satish Khanna Associates, on the other hand, works on a greater number of private-public projects and employs less technology, necessitating a prolonged design phase. Context and community play a bigger role in MVVA. Satish Khanna is an associate on the landscape that supports the architecture, and they work on autonomous land key initiatives such as parks. Finally, even though the two firms are based in different countries and contexts, we can see similarities in the way they operate. Case Study Satish Khanna Associates and MVVA

These spaces are less focused on productivity all-in-all they are different physical components coming together to facilitate the implementation of abstracted functions of a particular mobile application. Amazon app is a part of the e-commerce industry and one of the largest online retailers with the vision of Earth's most customer-centric company and to build a place where people come to find and discover anything they might want to buy online. The space developed is for the Amazon app, where Filter and Discount are the core functions employed in the design. The concepts showcasing the feature of 'filter' were to show variation, Radiation, Similarity, narrowing down, Common region, Accuracy, swift, and that of 'Discount' was Ease and Inbuilt. The space features different slits of filters, each with a different mechanism and human interaction. Discount, as a function, has been developed using two distinct pathways - one being an ordinary way while the other slightly elevated, making the child travel a greater distance and apply greater strength to reach near the main screen. This design is suitable in a kindergarten, where the children can use it to play. SET GO

Authentic Representation - Gender, sex and Sexual Orientation and Inclusivity (Winner) Previous Next Email Semester Competition Name Student Name Tanaya Nadkarni Cieda Huluku Design Competition X tanayan17@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : Competition Brief: The huluku competition is all about inspiring creative inclusion in the digital art and design world and promoting the development of inclusive digital art which reflects the world. Narrative: The theme of Sexual orientation under the umbrella theme of inclusivity arose from a slinky. It is a spiraled spring toy that creates beautiful flexible patterns of blending colors when it is played with. This is one perspective to look at Sexual orientation- not always permanent with beautiful fluid blending. Furthermore, when it comes to the roles we take up in society, these need to highlight not our labels but our contributions towards the growth of it all. Today, many humans have gone beyond educational stereotypes purely based on their prowesses. This needs to be acknowledged and encouraged.

Meadows - small to medium-sized grasses with wildflowers Upland - found on Moderately sloping sites between 200m and 400m altitude. They are commonly confused with grasslands, but upland hay meadows are Flowering grasslands with a rich diversity of species Cut annually for hay, keeping them short & medium-sized Can vary from half an acre to hundreds of acres And they do not have TREES! (why? Well, it's too cold or snowy for trees to grow However, climate change is causing these natural meadows to get overrun by trees.) The main picturesque feature is that they are covered with white pristine snow during the winters, blooming with bright flowers during the autumn, and lay with monochrome yellow ochre shades in summer, ready to be cut for hay. The community occurs in northern England, where many examples are in enclosed fields in upland areas, especially the northern Pennines - they occur as small patches on roadside verges, riverbanks, and hill slopes, but some occurrences are in enclosed fields within upland areas.
