By using the concept of reflection, mirrors are used to direct light in different directions while creating some patterns. The patterns created are based on geometry and physics. If mirrors are placed on concave walls then the light reflecting will converge and diverge if it is convex. If mirrors are placed on circular columns, the reflection is in a radial manner, and in the case of the square column, the reflection will only be of two sides at a time. With this knowledge, different explorations were done. The Lit Space

Being one of the very few open lands in Vasai, it is under a threat of destruction in the form of different project proposals. The purpose of this research is to preserve the wetlands and the original biodiversity of the area while adding a new perspective to the future growth of the place. Saving the wetland gives rainwater its home, successively saving the abutting urban areas and established developments from flooding. The goal is to develop a land capability map for Vasai based on its ecological feasibility and to derive land suitability for future buildable areas within the constraint of the semi-open hydrological network. Based on the observations and a comprehensive understanding of the land conditions of the area, this thesis aims to build a community and a skill development centre that engages the general user groups sufficiently; providing a positive impact on their well-being through the qualities of the built environment. And in due course, enhance a sense of attachment between the people and the place that will assist with the conservation of the open fields around Suncity-Gass road in the future. Thus, making it difficult for any authority to vandalize it. Stormwater Sponge

Each group was given one location for a case study on the traditional toilet systems in the area. Our group was given the location of Ladakh, and the opportunity to study about the dry toilet system there. Ladhaki's have a very unique way of waste disposal and management. They use the dry toilet systems which are very sustainable and practical based on the climatic conditions. The system prevents pollution of surface water or groundwater. It also enables safe reuse of excreta. Water for the locals is basically served by melting glaciers. .As the time passes by the waste is broken down and mixed homogeneously with the sand. And the finest manure is produced which is scattered around the fields and the farmer yields good crops and thus good food. Residents of Ladakh, reeling under a severe water crisis, want tourists to use traditional dry toilets instead of the commonly-used flush ones due to the numerous advantages they have over them.

Narrative: We aimed at studying a civilization that wasn't a part of our academic curriculum. We discovered the Inca and its various cultural beliefs and how it influenced the architecture of that era and eventually the people’s lifestyle. The well-known historical sites like the Machu Picchu to the humble golden temple of "Qorikancha" are a part of this civilization. We tried to narrate the story of a civilization glorious in its unblemished form, suppressed to the shackles of colonialism.

Amey Ghosalkar : : : : : : : : : : : The agenda of the assignment was to understand concrete as a material and to test its capacity of withstanding long spans and cantilevers by form development. 1. The first step was to design 2-forms, one spanning horizontally and the other standing vertically. The material distribution and thickness of the form is crucial at this stage. 2. The second step was to erect a formwork to achieve the desired shape of the form. The formwork needs to be made accurately without any gaps between surface or else concrete may leak from that spot and lead to damage of the form. 3. Third step was placing reinforcement on the tension side of the form. This step also includes the analysis of form by identifying the tension points in the form. 4. The fourth step was mixing concrete, sand and water in the ratio of 1:2. The slurry must be such that it reaches all corners of the formwork. After pouring slurry into the formwork tapping was done to release trapped air bubbles. 5. After a day, the formwork was removed and curing of concrete was done for 2 days. The form achieved was of desired shape without any cracks and deflection in the material.

Furthermore, it is synchronous with technology and conventional forms to advance forms. Along with developing formwork and other requisites to support the ideation and prototype process, this exercise also highlights innovation and detailing with the material, RCC. The exercise did put forward the implementation of theory into hand - on with the episode of the palpable essence of the material which evolved a greater apprehension of RCC as a material. This was the primary guide to the comprehension of the behavior of material via experimentation thereby enhancing pellucid analytical reasoning as an outcome of the exercise. Furthermore, acknowledging the construction process on a smaller scale. It was an attempt to appreciate the strengths and frailty offered to keep the exploration braced up.

The idea of this project was to create design iterations as fast as possible, along with thinking about construction techniques and feasibility of material given the conditions on site. An edge on the port was selected to facilitate recreational activities on that front, creating a shelter for activities to happen below, having larger spans and more free space below, thus creating a much better transition between the outside and inside. These factors and the flow of people throughout the site allowed us to reiterate the form of the structure, along with material and construction factors, these parameters strongly dictated the form and member intervals of the structure, creating relevant details and how the structural members work was also one of the factors.

Although this project is very ambitious, it requires a solid base on which it can further be developed. This can be brought about by carrying out a feasible survey of the whole area, figuring out the obstructions and producing different solutions regarding the same. Interlinking of rivers

The design tests the ability to resist distractions in children between the age of 4-10. It features a complex set of staircases moving in different directions at different levels. At each junction, there is only one correct path that will lead the child to the reward, which in this case, is the giant slide. The other paths test the focus of the child. The steps placed at the highest level, highlighted in yellow, will move upwards or downwards, depending on the path chosen by the child, which will determine whether that slide is accessible to him or not. The upward movement of the steps is a sign of the child's progress. The reward is visible from each point throughout the journey, keeping the children motivated. The structure is color-coded where the white-colored paths lead the children to the slide and the black ones toward the distractions. The design can help young gymnasts develop the ability to focus, despite distractions, in a fun and engaging manner. Appsolute Interface

This is acknowledged with symmetry permitting to read the structure holistically by being visually balanced. The repetitive nature of colonnades set out as attendants offering a specific trajectory and eliminating the idea of getting lost. PENETRABILITY: The Dilwara Temple builds an environment to allow itself, its spaces and barriers to be intercepted by the dwellers. The perception of elements like – light, pause points, scale, mass, void, opacity, transparency and levels create or obstruct visual connect and promote engagement. OCCUPIABILITY: The Dilwara Temple builds an environment to allow itself, its spaces as a pause point and encourage people to occupy it due to its location and the perception of it at a glance. It is an interception for users to pause due to its grandeur which in turns dictates safety. SOCIABILITY: The Dilwara Temple builds a domain for social contact which catalyzes informal encounters among people. The temple puts forward a welcoming habitat with lenses of visual and physical perception of safety and human comfort by use of elements of light, openness, scale, complexity and detailing as the foremost components. POSSESSABILITY: The Dilwara Temple builds a domain in which it offers itself up for possession. The temple opens up a bond with its devotees and develops a notion to feel home due to its ambience of peace and harmony which settles the unsettled. The sense of familiarity, comfort and safety assists for attachment and belonging to the space. Dilwara Temple, Rajasthan
