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.

Nachiket Kalle jayraj19@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : : : : The Experience starts with a long pathway and an open plaza, leading to the huge doorway, the surrounding garden, central temple with sea on one side and city on other side which provides various sequences of experiences. 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

The building is depicted as a miniature city by simplifying the surrounding context and highlighting each plane with a typical set of lines developing a pattern within. ILLUSTRATION 2: It is a representation in the style of Arata Isozaki, strongly shaped by the destruction and possibilities of industrial society. It illustrates the tension between ambition and trauma for transformation by hiding the actual size and shape, arrangement of rooms, and circulation routes inside the building.

Amey Ghosalkar : : : : : : : : : : : The agenda of the assignment was to understand concrete as a material and to test its capacity of withstanding long spans and cantilevers by form development. 1. The first step was to design 2-forms, one spanning horizontally and the other standing vertically. The material distribution and thickness of the form is crucial at this stage. 2. The second step was to erect a formwork to achieve the desired shape of the form. The formwork needs to be made accurately without any gaps between surface or else concrete may leak from that spot and lead to damage of the form. 3. Third step was placing reinforcement on the tension side of the form. This step also includes the analysis of form by identifying the tension points in the form. 4. The fourth step was mixing concrete, sand and water in the ratio of 1:2. The slurry must be such that it reaches all corners of the formwork. After pouring slurry into the formwork tapping was done to release trapped air bubbles. 5. After a day, the formwork was removed and curing of concrete was done for 2 days. The form achieved was of desired shape without any cracks and deflection in the material.

Rohit Shintre : : : : : : : : : : : Designing the spaces through the arithmetic modes like addition , subtraction, division and multiplication adds to the different values of the spaces which can be portrayed through the formation and arrangement of the space according to the arithmetic modes. Addition aims at the addition of the space edge to edge , side by side or face to face thus creating the harmony of space linked with each other. Subtraction aims at subtracting the spaces from one whole entity thus creating a thought of something lost or being carved out of the same volume. Multiplication aims at multiplying a similar volume or an object edge to edge , side by side thus creating a sense of repetition in the overall sense . Division aims at thoughtfully adding the planes according to the activities, movement and sequencing of the spaces thus creating a detailed path of journey across the entire design. This exercise explored the same community centre into four different modes , thus creating different experience and spatial qualities at the same time considering the same function. Thus, different qualities and senses of the building can be achieved.
