This was to be studied making slabs of p.o.p one without wire mesh and other reinforced with wire mesh. The slabs were then to be dropped from a height of 1 m . The slab reinforced survived and the one unreinforced crushed. This helped us understand the nature of RCC. Effect of reinforcement in RCC

On one hand items like cardboard, plastic scale, steel ruler, rubber were used as structural member while on the other hand, stone, etc were used as loads or dead weights. This exercise also helped us to understand various end conditions and their uses. It also ensured that we understood how structural members behave under different end conditions under load.

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.

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

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.
