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.

The Character Of The Facade And The Overall Form Gets Highlighted At Such An Angle. The Textures And Colors Used Brings Out The Connection Of The Spaces And Interlocking Surfaces, And Creates A Common Identity For The Form. The Sciography Creates A Sense Of Volume And Adds A Layer Of Dimension That Otherwise Would Not Be Grasped. The Second Illustration Shows The Representation Of Bernard Tschumi’s Style For The Form Which Is Generated Through Multiplication Mode Of Elements. The Structural System And Planning Is Focused In Foreground And The Lines Moving Creates An Illusion Of Continuity And Sense Of Curiosity In Space.

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.

Different types of household materials were used in the process to accomplish these end conditions. A number of books acted as the end supports for multiple cases. A few cases required paper pins which acted as the support members. The exercise proved about how RCC members behave under different end conditions. Lowflection

Exploring different forms and how to make them in reality by use of proper material. 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

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.

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.
