We were taught to use the right amount of proportions to mix aggregate, water and cement to prepare the slurry. The initial ideas were based on sketches and smaller file-card models. Once the composition was fixed, final step was to make a cast to pour the concrete mixture in it. There were two types of models spanning along width and height. The sun board models fixed with adhesives were used as cement casts. After a couple of days they were demoulded when they were completely dried off, and the process was documented in the form of a video.

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 project started by making various sketches and finalizing one form and figuring out the dimensions of the product. This was achieved by producing process models and exploring with the material.the shapes were divided in two categories- span and height. The next step was to make casts for making RCC models. The casts were made from sunboard material. They were filled with cement concrete and reinforcements of steel wires. The concrete took 2-3 days to dry up. The products were then de-moulded and documented.

Each face is represented in distinct lines and curves with fenestration in different textures. Illustration 2: the form created for this illustration was created by Arithmetic Division. The angle of the arrangement was similar to that selected by Alberto Sartoris in his representation. This angle covered different facades as well as the central void. Each façade was represented with colours concerning the direction they were facing. More focus was created on the roof by the eye view of the illustration.

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.

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.

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.
