The basics of the narrative took a lot of inspiration from grid based layouts and arrangements to start off the planning process. Adding and subtracting surfaces was a difficult task in itself because while designing you have to make sure that every surface which is added or subtracted has a good reason behind it or else the program isn't justified.

Harshada Bapat Shintre : Studio Conductors : : : Video Links : Urban Materials of Construction “Materials which have contributed to the construction industry to create an ideology of permanence and stability amongst other materials in the construction industry.” Urban materials of construction such as concrete and steel were initially the most viable solution when vegetal materials failed to provide for a “permanent household” or a “pukka ghar”. But now as the concern has shifted from viability to sustainability, it is essential to explore the usage of building materials that consume low energy, is renewable, vegetal and easily available. The Design Thesis proposes Engineered Bamboo as the future “Urban Material of Construction”; a material which is treated, processed and standardized. Engineered Bamboo is developed by splitting, flattening, compressing and providing with a particular cross section. Since the material is lightweight and can take sufficient amounts of load it can be used as a material designed for disassembly, modularity and the flexibility. The idea is to intervene in an area where the context has a prevalent construction of concrete and steel and the site has difficulties regarding constructing with the materials already in use. These sites generally act as small pockets to multiple large projects with amalgamated sites. An architectural strategy of scripting was adopted as a system of development of the architectural unit and built form. Scripts are Modular Architectural deviced strategies which allow for exploration in Form, Space and Structure which is to be provided to the User. These scripts act as changing elements which could universally be used in a set unit design. Three types of scripting strategies are used- Service Scripts, Volume Scripts and Structural Scripts Service Script revolves around the concept of demarcation of an Area with respect to Served and Service spaces. The idea of Scripts is an addition where Service spaces are allowed to be flexible and replaceable with respect to the current User consuming the Space. Volume Script allows for flexibility in the volumetric aspect during lack of variability and adaptability in the planning due to designing compact areas and facing space crunch. The concept of scripts includes additive and subtractive operations conducted on a base script. Structural Script includes different kit of parts of the structural unit of an apartment when combined together completes the designed scheme. The idea is for the structure to not be permanent rather a changing intervention as per the owner of the building which is possible with the help of Dry Construction system of Engineered Bamboo. As an intervention on small sites, it is important to note the same strategy could be applied and developed on for construction of different such similar structures across the city with varying function and typology. The scripts as an architectural device could be used separately or in combination as per design development. The project tries to break the notion of Urban Materials of Construction and gives a new vision to the future of Construction Technology.

Analysis Was Done Based On The Materials Used, The Sewage Management System, Water Storage, And Way Of Usage. The Assignment Made Us Aware About The Concept Of Bio Toilets And Evoked In A Question Of How Can Ancient Age Old Techniques Be Used In Making Toilets Today? This Followed By Understanding The Merits And Also The Demerits Of This Techniques.

The design of bridges is not only an engineers' area of expertise, but the functionality, the seamlessly effective urban integration, and the aesthetic quality of these public work spectacles fall definitively in the architects’ domain. This studio intends to study and analyze different bridges in the world built by architects through various mediums of research. ARCHITECTONICS OF BRIDGES

But in the case of the port of Beirut; time is of the essence. Continuing from the ruins and adding value to the place. The main idea of this project was to create a long-span structure that responds to the context of Beirut, the tragic explosion that occurred in 2020. The master planning started with a focal point , that is the silos ruins and expanded with the principles of user centric design. While developing the planning, a major component was the design of informal public spaces . Making sure the privacy of the port is not hindered , at the same time making the port more accessible as a leisure space. The aim was to develop the site as an active space. Masterplan for the port

The location, climate, topography and all other features were supposed to be assumed and the design was altered according to the climatic conditions. The house typology is considered to be situated in Jodhpur, which has a hot and dry climate. The following aspects were considered while altering the design: Orientation of the building Landscape Positioning of the courtyard Presence of water body Windows and Openings Roof, Cavity Walls and Textures These aspects were then used and interpreted with the help of sketches in order to explain the altered design.

Narrative: The project intends to create a pavilion that is used as a breakout and an informal meeting space that acts as a forum for social interaction. The design started with keeping 3 factors in mind - sustainability, easy installation, and interactive space. A SPACE BECOMES A PLACE WHEN IT'S NOT ONLY MEANT FOR SPENDING TIME BUT TO RECOLLECT THE TIME SPENT IN IT. To allow the public to experience this pavilion we thought of using simple elements like structure, form and its sensitivity, light, and shadow, material and its lightness, and an element of surprise. A place that encourages healthy exchange could be done by incorporating functions like small gathering spaces that also act as an event, informal workspace, a space for recreation, lounging, and mini food stations. So we developed an assembly that requires a minimum of materials and can be tailor-made by anyone. This pavilion is meant to be agile and deployed in various sites all across the globe thus requiring a module system will require easy installation. Thus our design creates a timeless mesh. The play of light and shadow with the movement of the user creates a juxtaposition, permitting the users to reshape their own physical and architectural place through their movements inside the work.

Narrative: The world is engulfed with unending stories all around. The notion applies not only to humans, but each living creature, as well as a non-living object that exists. The existence of one forms a story in itself. All existing ingredients of this world play a role knowingly or unknowingly in these narrations. A story can be categorized into multiple divisions. Broadly, we can summarize them as, [a] a story that somehow evolves over the time based on some incidents that takes up its form through exaggerations & cooked up details, which can be termed as rumors. [b] a story that is told from ages which eventually doesn’t confine itself to just a storyline, but becomes a belief, ritual or a superstition that can be termed as mythological fictions. [c] a story that we live daily, nothing but our experiences. As such, these stories can be placed on a timeline irrespective of its factual nature. This timeline helps us understand the originality and additions that occur to the story and how a narrative unfolds. This crucial fluidity allows for permutations and combinations to exist that help us curate our own platform to explore and read the world in our own way.
