Each of these projects are designed for different contexts and have a variety of considerations, purpose, people organization, planning strategy, limitations, and process. The exercise also aims at looking at landscape design projects that differ from the various architectural interventions around the same site. Our group worked on the highline park which is in Manhattan, New york. The highline is a nonprofit project, which is almost entirely supported by people. Its a 1.4-mile-long elevated linear park. We studied the park through the lens of planning, organization, programs, ideology, context and setting, while also further detailing a small portion of the park. The Documentation procedure helped put a unique lens of understanding and helped understanding a bold form of an Urban Landscape intervention. The High Line

Rajesh Shelke : : : : : : : : : : : This model is an example of a design that could take up a load of more than 1 kg without failing. This model is inspired by origami art, an art of paper folding. After many trials and errors, a suitable proportion was obtained in which the design was most stable and could bear load without failing. The height to the base proportion stabled the structure, whereas the folds helped in the proper load transfer. The material used was an A3 size cartridge sheet, where half-cuts, made on the sheets, helped to fold the paper. The design is made by interlocking three different parts where two of the three parts were of the same module, which were repeated twice. The top two modules were made by folding, while the base was a hexagonal structure, where two hexagons were interlocked internally to provide a strong base. While in the top two modules, the folds were interlocked to create a strong core. The interlocking of the three modules was obtained by just making cuts and placing them on top of each other.

I had first understood the style in which the drawing was done which was a 45-45 axonometric. There are some parts in the original drawing which shows the interiors of the design. Taking these points into consideration, I started drafting the drawing and after the completion of the final drawing, I took it on photoshop to add the colors. I followed the similar color palette of the original drawing. Previous Next Drawing In Conversation 1

ADDITION: An additive form is derived by addition of one volume over another via spatial tension, edge to edge contact, face to face contact or interlocking volumes to develop a visual trait. MULTIPLICATION: Multiplicity as a function to repeat units in various orientations and surfaces with the same module to develop a collective form from a unit. SUBTRACTION: Subtractive form is a transformation by taking away a volume depending upon the identity to be retained and portion of subtraction. DIVISION: Division as an operation to develop flow and organization with partitions with a dedicated sequence and journey along the spaces.

The generalization is so relentlessly inserted within the public imagination that the very mention of Bihar brings to mind, pictures of a political jungle raj and poor economic status. This unfortunate image has been covering minds for decades now. By 2004, The Economist magazine said that “Bihar [had] become a byword for the worst of India, of widespread and inescapable poverty, of corrupt politicians indistinguishable from mafia-dons they patronize, caste-ridden social order that has retained the worst feudal cruelties” The true picture of Bihar is quite the reverse. Since the late 1970s, Bihar has lagged far behind other Indian states regarding social and economic development for various reasons. But from 2004 to 2015, Bihar emerged as the fastest-growing state in India, clocking over 10 percent annual growth for the past decade and, in the process, more than doubling its economy. The state was once known for its education, religious influence, culture, and art. In order to develop the state socially and economically, it is important to change the image of the state by making the citizens aware of the significant history and future. This can be done by influencing the most active community that is the youth of the state. By providing a place they can call home, where they can learn and be prepared to face any challenges in the society. Despite progressive economic growth, human development challenges in the State are many and require growth momentum to be continued for years to achieve the desired level of sustainable development.- Bihar Government. The Objective of the dissertation is to design a self-sufficient skill development centre in Bihar to evoke a sense of growth and connection within the people while providing resources to develop skills and acquire employment without migrating out of the state. The proposal is very relevant in today’s time as it is the need of the hour. By educating and developing the youth about industrial skills and artforms(that Bihar is known for), we are not only providing quality learnings and employment opportunities but also taking a step towards changing the image of Bihar. Youth as a medium to change the image of Bihar

Interaction and Activity in a natural environment is the key focus of the competition. Narrative: Rachana’s Diary is a personal-public diary , in the form of petals, constituting clusters to mimic the iconic tree of Rachana Sansad College. Students are meant to write, rewrite, draw and scribble what they want or feel. It is a small memento recording your thoughts periodically. Due to area constraints & less availability of open spaces the intervention was decided to be proposed on an elevated height. In order to maintain dignity and glory of the iconic(fallen)tree , the diary is designed to mimic the tree as well as establish the beginning of a new age. A new age starts every year, with first coming and fifth year students graduating. With new age comes new thoughts, new personalities. The diary is the evidence of the variable change of thoughts, personalities & ideas. It shows such changes by the change in colors and textures of petals and their clusters. The diary is meant to be present every time, be it at orientation, in college night stays, while enjoying “Kartik’s idlis” or while graduation. It can be given to the students during convocation as a souvenir of college life.

Exercise helped understanding the various representational styles. It started with simple isometric, axonometric views and further extended towards one-point and two-point perspectives. The process of each representation style first covered basics through small geometric forms followed by exercises including large rooms and localities. Further exploration was done by exploding methods to learn to represent the design in detail. Exercise focused on line weights, scale, dimension i.e. overall neatness of the drawing and understanding of the concepts of behind every representational drawing type Previous Next ARD Portfolio 2

Narrative: Aalay, the recreational abode, is an attempt at creating a vernacular builtform with a medley of leisure and relaxing spaces creating a habitat for a family of four.The typical vernacular houses in Kerala, known as Nallukettu comprising four blocks, known as 'Shalas' and would be divided into north, south, east and west blocks. These four blocks placed adjacent to each other would open in an open to sky courtyard in the center. Aalay consists of various spaces, placed around a courtyard following the principles of Vastu Shastra and using local building materials makes the builtform in congruence with the traditional structures of the vicinity. The final design is a cumulative outcome of various design ideas and forms put together. Multiple factors such as climate responsiveness, vernacular approach, site, principles of Vastu Shastra (usually followed in Nalukettu), were considered to arrive at this final form. After a thorough study of the traditional built forms around the site and after fabricating a proper client profile, the various ideas of spaces emerged: Central playful courtyard in water bodies, interior green spaces, non monotonous workspaces. The structure is therefore an unification of all these factors which cater to living, along the backwaters.

This Retreat Centre pays respect to the locality by acting like a Green intervention bringing us closer to people and nature. Each space forms an individual entity that connects with one of the 5 elements creating sacred experiences. The design is an attempt to establish the relationship between Spirituality and Nature under the guise of Yoga and Meditation. Spiritually, A Circle represents a supernatural notion; ‘The Divine’, that keeps everything transitioning. The form of the design is implanted upon these concentric circles and slender curvatures which unites oneself to Inner Peace and Chakras.
