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.

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 was to be studied making slabs of p.o.p one without wire mesh and other reinforced with wire mesh. The slabs were then to be dropped from a height of 1 m . The slab reinforced survived and the one unreinforced crushed. This helped us understand the nature of RCC. Effect of reinforcement in RCC

Nachiket Kalle jayraj19@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : : : : The Experience starts with a long pathway and an open plaza, leading to the huge doorway, the surrounding garden, central temple with sea on one side and city on other side which provides various sequences of experiences. Being situated on the seaside the dominant quality is the spiritual connectivity with the water ,long journey before the entrance, strong presence in the space and a great architectural Chalukya style with 15 meter temple Shikhara situated at brahmasthan according to inscription. It starts with the presence of shrine from far away. So as we move closer. the statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel guides us towards the entrance due to its directional nature towards the temple. Then we move through a narrow shaded entrance towards the main gate which leads us inside. This exposes us to the series of pathways through green spaces. We get attracted towards the large shrine and the series of large columns providing the entry to the temple. Then as we get out of the temple from the sideways we get exposed towards the sea and the podium along the coastline provides a space to rest and enjoy the view of the overall environment.

The exposure, discussion, and critique of the manifesto written by Robert Venturi set precedence to conceive and simulate the ideals that he set as the new order. We tried to illustrate the complexities and contradictions involved in architecture using examples of architectural productions of the author and other architects impacted by the same ideals. The study involved understanding the era and circumstances under which the manifesto originated, how history influenced architecture, and the rise of postmodernism in architecture and further stating our aspirations and beliefs for a resilient future.

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
