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

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.

The project started by making various sketches and finalizing one form and figuring out the dimensions of the product. This was done by making process models using file-card 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. These casts 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.

The best angle of the volume arrangement was where multiple surfaces were covered. The representation was in the style of Yakov Chernikhov. 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.
