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

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

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.
