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.

In any case, a drawing is more than the shadow of an object, more than a pile of lines, more than a resignation to the inertia of convention.” These drawings will be the basis of the form exploration exercise for the students. The given one drawing is divided into 42 parts and all models will come together to make one whole. The students followed the following steps : 1. Recognize planes, shapes, forms of the given (part) drawing by studying it. 2. Identify elements/ parts of the drawing for exploration. 3. Hands on development of the form. 3-Dimensional Exploration Of Drawings Process Sketches Exploring microcosms within the ‘Micromega’ constructed i.e. the model built in stage 1, based on the various narratives from the book Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. Each student is assigned a chapter from the book which will be the basis of their visual exploration of the Microcosm documented through the medium of videography and photography. The perceived scale of the Microcosm will be left to the imagination of the individual student, and so will be the act of the microcosm. Finding Invisible cities Formwork We live in the world of forms and shapes, and all the creatures in the universe, natural and man-made objects are made up of infinite number of forms and shapes. Everything possesses a form in one way or another. Form in architecture not just plays a very crucial role but it is probably the most debated subject as well. It is not just simply the shape or configuration of a building or object but it comprises of lot many elements be it a point, line, plane or a volume. The focus of the orientation workshop is to make the students explore and understand the basic elements like line, shape, form and texture and to work on creating new forms using elements in 2dimension (2D) and 3dimension (3D). This will help students gain a hand-on experience in developing forms, explore process and form finding. These activities are the basis for systematic, open-ended explorations of form. Using a specific material, the students have to make a model/ 3D form by interpreting the given 2D drawings. The objective of the workshop is to focus on exploring form and learning basic techniques for form making. Students are expected to try new methods and, when appropriate, build on previous studies. They also have to work through the inevitable ebb and flow of the creative process. The main takeaways will be the ability to imagine form and use alternative methods of visualizing concepts. And there is the added layer of materiality and tactile experimentation that directly translates into working in spatial environments and 3d design.

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.

And to understand the strengths, weaknesses and failure of using such a material. Also we try to understand how the material along with technology has allowed us to move from the conventional forms to more advanced forms, through examples and the described exercise. We were able to design 2 types of structures. One which showcased verticality and the other compression. The said designs were then identified for reinforcement patterns and then a mould created to pour the concrete and place said reinforcement wherever necessary. The final outcome, showcases the shortcomings, when adequate amount of reinforcement is not provided, due to which the structure would have fracture points. Hence, it is imperative to make sure, the correct proportion and grade of concrete is mixed with reinforcement, to make sure the desired form is achieved.

Rajesh Shelke : : : : : : : : : : : Through this workshop, a load-bearing structure has been created with the help of curved forms and has no use of verticals. A better understanding was developed of how each loop supports the next and load travel in such a structure from the apex to the body. The concentration of loads at nodes causes failures. If we give support at these points, the failures can be avoided. The model also has a wide base, and the walls are at an angle that gives stability to the form. The various joineries were done with the help of a thread in the process. When rolled, newspapers possess excellent compressive properties. The thicker the roll, the more the strength. It is fascinating how such a flimsy material can carry such loads, nearly six times its weight. Overall, the workshop answered the question of how height is a huge structural challenge. Most of the initial models worked well with less height, but the addition of height led to its failure. A careful and efficient design is needed to identify these points of failure and counteract them. Joineries also play a crucial role in the structure.

Rajesh Shelke : : : : : : : : : : : The design features a cantilever in the shape of a hyperbolic paraboloid. Made out of watchmakers sticks, the twisted form of the structure imparts strength to endure higher loads. The sticks have been tied together with a thread, using a special knot to hold them firmly in position. The threads used to anchor the sticks at an angle of 20 degrees are stitched to the cardboard bracket that maintains the said angle. Several sticks have been fastened together to increase the cross-section of the anchored member. This acts as the main load-bearing member, which supports the sticks on which the load is placed. The efficient design of the structure enables it to bear a load much greater than its dead load.

The quality of the materials available in the market, the proper material for formwork, the reinforcement, proper ratio of water aggregate and cement are to be looked upon along with the possibility of actually constructing the desired form and the errors and necessary precautions along the process. This study helps understand various learnings from the whole process and so all of these things are to be documented.

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
