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.

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.

This group analysed the activities performed with a gym ball. The grooves on the ball improves its grip. This is an important aspect for the convenience of the user while he tries to balance on it. Similarly, the smoothness of the surface has been designed strategically to achieve a certain ease of movement on the floor. This said ease of movement will also vary with respect to the flooring underneath. The ball has multiple uses from fun activities and exercises to medical treatment. The journey from manufacture till the use of the ball has been documented in the graphic. Gym Ball

Narrative: A person's decisions determine whether they are good or bad. We begin in a world devoid of color, with our main character, RP09, travelling down a bleak route. Suddenly, a massive boom and a distortion occurs, transporting our character to a dystopian world called Euphoria. RP09's first glimpse is full of hues, and he is both awestruck and scared at the new environment he has entered. The people there were completely different from the black and white world he came from. There were creatures from all over the universe living different lives but somehow the same, overlapping with each other. After some time in the new realm, RP09 realizes what he is up against: he is trapped in a virtual world. He has four lives to complete the game, he has to collect certain coins and in case he fails, there will be serious consequences like him being trapped in the game forever. Our main character ends up doing horrible things to achieve his goal and as a result of the route he chooses, he becomes a wicked guy. He leaves a trail of ruin and death in his wake, continuing to lose his life in the process of the games. As he reaches the final stages of the game; all his tasks have been completed, and just one mission remains. He has almost beaten the game but then the wheels turn around and he is defeated. As a result, RP09 loses all his lives and becomes one of the martians living in the game, a part of the dysphoric Euphoria and forgets about his life at home, wandering aimlessly till the end of time.

Rohit Karekar karishma@aoamumbai.com : : : : : : : : : SCHEME: Trading of Electronic Waste Items in exchange for Internet Service Plans. These must be collected for recycling in a public place for regular attraction and response, such as parks. These parks must also be maintained using vegetable waste intended for reforesting and production of oxygen gas to compensate for harmful release from e-waste. PROBLEM: E-waste is among the fastest-growing solid waste classes and represents a serious hazard for the environment. It consists of a mixture of hazardous inorganic and organic materials, for example, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, and brominated flame retardants, along with valuable metals, such as Au, Ag, and Pd. Direct e-waste disposal to landfills without any prior treatment creates threats to the environment due to the leaching of metals in water and soil. Improper e-waste recycling, such as by open burning and acid baths, creates hazardous and toxic compounds, like dioxins, furans, and acids. SOLUTION: E-waste contains many valuable, recoverable materials such as aluminum, ferrous metals, copper, gold, and silver. To conserve natural resources and the energy needed to produce new electronic equipment from virgin resources, electronic equipment should be refurbished, reused, and recycled whenever possible. These can be recovered by introducing enzymes, similar to those used in metallurgy for the mining of metals. After recovery, the leftovers can be recycled to oil via pyrolysis.

Narrative: The proposed intervention is located in the city of St John, Newfoundland sits on a high contour in proximity to the famous cultural hub “The Rooms” and overviews a panoramic view of the lake to the south. Languages such as Beothuk, Mi’kmaq, Irish, Scottish Gaelic have developed and designed this city in various aspects. Experiences through languages permanently creates connotations. It directly connects your mind to the place. The proposal helps experience the journey of languages internally as well as externally by playing with the volumes and levels respectively. The design follows a geometric complexity, which integrates with the cityscapes, and itself creates a unique style. The design respects the natural slope of the site, thus resulting in minimal intervention with the contours. The design includes multiple glass facades which help establish relationships with the interior and exterior. The transparency between the outer and inner is helping to experience the cityscape. The glass facade towards the backside delivers a vantage for the inclusive city. Spaces such as workshop rooms would allow tourists to learn the languages or about the history of the languages. We conclude that the project is taking one through the languages and letting them experience its impact at its time thus “Langvoyage “

We focused on different aspects of the ball, such as its making, uses, material, evolution, and effect on the economy. Billiards, being an indoor sport, has a lot going on behind its manufacturing as the table, the ball, and the cue stick are each made of three different materials. The ball, being smooth and shiny, is more dense than it appears to be. Billiard balls and the physics behind the rolling of the ball on the table somehow make the sport unique in its own way. The exercise helped us understand how different materials are being used in a single sport and how different these manufacturing processes are. Billiard Ball
