These were drafted so as to understand their technical aspects. The first half of the drawings involved studying brick bonds used in buildings, brick foundations, various types of arches and lintels in brick. The second half involved initially being introduced to framing, widening and lengthening joineries that are used to join two wooden members and then studying elements like floor, roof, staircase, doors and windows in timber wood.

The Main Subject Was To Design The Structure In Rcc. It Was A Fun Exercise Where We Were Challenged To Test Ourselves With How Much Ever Knowledge We Have In Technical Subjects. Our Approach Towards It Was To Create A Simple Shady Space To Relax In A Place Like Garden . The Heart Of The Gazebo Is A Rcc Dome Shading A Spiral Staircase.Another Different Concept That We Tried Was Reinforcing Tapering Columns. Proceeding With The Structural Details We Designed The Slab, Dome, Staircase, Beam And Column Structure.Several Points Like Plinths, Headrooms ,Structural Stability , Spatial Experience , Aesthetics Were Considered While Designing.

With “Sitting on a chair and eating” as my posture I had imagined two variations of the same. The “noodle soup challenge” portrayed the same action of eating but in a restaurant scenario. The second sketch describes a “inside the train” scene with me sitting crouched at the corner of the seat and eating my tiffin. Overall, the exercise helped us in understanding human space relation and the importance of designing spaces keeping in mind the basic human body dimensions and possible human motion. Take a seat

From parched xeriscapes to lush green forests, the climate and the geographical conditions highly influence the landscape of a region. The dry land at the borders of the US and Mexico adorns grasslands and thorny cacti that bloom in the summer with a range of animals from the giant bison to the small prairie dog. These Chihuahuan grasslands are subjected to encroachment to shrubs and are currently under conservation of the Malpai Borderlands Group. Coppicing is the woodland management technique of repeatedly felling trees at the base and allowing them to regrow to provide a sustainable supply of timber. They traditionally consist of deciduous trees and are the natural habitat of many small birds and creatures. Chihuahuan Desert Grasslands & Coppice Woodland

Testing for the second time to analyze the new data through observations and compare it with the previous model.The improvised model shows great stability and thus proves the role played by various systems in high rise structures.

Different materials, like foam sheet, steel scale, plastic scale was used to make beam and column. We studied end conditions including simply supported beam, cantilever beam, fixed beam, continuous beam, columns fixed at one end, and column fixed at both ends. I used books to support fixing the beam in it and used the color box as a load. In the case of the column, it was fixed in hand, and the load was given from the other hand. Through this exercise, we learned the positions where the beam or column either sags or hogs. Basics

Constantly changing time helps us revolutionize the way we live. So, a flexible, sustainable and programmatic affordable architecture is proposed for the increasing future population making uniqueness last longer. Parasitic architecture will help shape the future where we will work with the existing and innovate with the given. There will be add ons to the existing built forms and antiques will make a comeback. Experimentation will be done with a mix use of materials and elements, old and new. Thus, there will be a skyline with a multitude of dynamism. WE ARE FACING A WORLD WHERE THRIVING TO BE UNIQUE WITH WORKING ON THE ALREADY EXISTING WILL BE THE NEW UNIQUE! Visionary Future

Dividing Groups On The Basis Of Different Human Action/Positions, The Exercise Furthered Through Us Documenting Ourselves According To The Various Postures Selected. It Included Photo And Dimensional Documentation. This Was Neatly Noted To Provide Us With The Bank Of Average Anthropometric Dimensions. Exercise Then Culminated Into Us Deriving Sketches Of The Predetermined Posture/Action With The Aim Of Imaging Similar Anthropometric Variants In Other Situations. The Case Presented Me With, “Human Reaching To A Wall Clock”. This Predetermined Action Was Then Conceived To Be In Different Situations Where One Is Reaching Out And Moreover Stretching To Do So. One Sketch Portrays A Girl Participating In “Dahi Handi” Is Reaching Out To Help Her Fellow Member. The Other Sketch Continues The Similar Language Of “Reaching Out” To The Luggage Rack Of A Plane. Such Imagination Helped In Understanding Humans Gestures In Various Situations Which Could Help Us Develop Innovative Human Space Relation In Further Studies.

Karan Danda Ar. Amey Ghosalkar Ar. Saurabh Mhatre Ar. Rohit Shintre : : : : : : : : : : : The intention of the project was to come up with forms using basic operations like addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. Addition is where units of different shape and size come together to form a single form. Each unit can be different in terms of scale, shape, size etc. Subtraction is where small volumes are removed from one big volume and this resulting mass is used to generate an experience. Division is where spaces are separated by only a few partitions and are seamless in nature thereby establishing a flow. Multiplication is where a single unit of same size, scale, shape is rotated, stacked or interlocked together to form one large volume. Spaces can be made interesting using these operations. The exercise started off with sketching around initial ideas, looking at some projects that used these principles and then by concretizing them by making plans and 3d models.
