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.

With “Sitting on a chair and eating” as my posture I had imagined two variations of the same. The “noodle soup challenge” portrayed the same action of eating but in a restaurant scenario. The second sketch describes a “inside the train” scene with me sitting crouched at the corner of the seat and eating my tiffin. Overall, the exercise helped us in understanding human space relation and the importance of designing spaces keeping in mind the basic human body dimensions and possible human motion. Take a seat

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

Testing for the second time to analyze the new data through observations and compare it with the previous model.The improvised model shows great stability and thus proves the role played by various systems in high rise structures.

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.
