He lives with his wife and house help, who helps him in his business. His profession and their minimalistic yet traditional thoughts largely shaped the character of the spaces. The kitchen opened up to the dining area, creating the heart of the house. The kitchen accommodates his needs of having a space for online workshops with proper lighting. Their friends can enjoy Rohit’s delicacies in the dining area or hang out on the balcony while enjoying the sea view. The temporary setting for the maid forms her own space without impeding their privacy. The bedroom has a calm mood, with the bed being a blend of brass leg ends and intricate columns. The bathroom follows a similar theme of minimalism broken by patterned backsplash tiles. Slight curves break the minimalism and tie everything together. Overall, the minimalist and traditional elements coalesce into a distinctive character added to the home. Coalesce

Narrative: Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole. One of the world’s northernmost inhabited areas, it's known for its remote terrain of glaciers and frozen tundra sheltering polar bears, a great example of how people can live in the most inhospitable places. Its serene environment serves as a blank canvas for the creative minds and the northern lights attract tourists all year round. These portable tiny homes are meant to be used as flexible work spaces for photographers, artists, stargazers and tourists alike. The concept was to combine off-grid living with Working and to design a self-contained space big enough to call home, yet small enough to take anywhere. A site where ‘nature decides everything and we are the guests’, so also these houses are portable, sustainable and allow occupants to connect with nature.

Yagnik Bathija : : : : : : : : : : : Teamwork was our core intent and, performing tasks (previously: assigning tasks) and organising data were our two chosen functions. The user performs the task of organising the cubes to create a smooth way that reaches the top. Teamwork is necessary to plan the organisation of the cubes and then the users individually slide the blocks as decided. The space made of grids has a rectangular base of 4.5 x 3 metres and a height of 3 metres. Thus, the overall volume is 40.5 cubic metres. There are six levels, each at 0.5 metres high. The number of cubes on each level decreases from the bottom to the top. The blocks are to be slid along the horizontal axis only. The effort added was to develop a recreational and leisure space within labour camps for the working men. Keeping the activity these people are involved in, the idea of hybridising our two functions is blended to provide relaxation amenities employing pushing, sliding, and shifting dynamic solids to reach a common goal. interACT

Rishi Vora, Ar. Mehul Sanghvi : : : : : : : : : : : The site is situated at Goregaon (East) near film city. The Basti adjacent to the plot gives us a sense of community living or people having similar expectations from the society coming together to enhance this experience of living. The Basti and the IGIDR campus on the site are two examples where people having similar aspirations come together to live in a community. They live together and share their experiences, joy, sorrow, etc. Units come together to form space and the space enhances the experience of co-living. The units are either stacked, interlocked, or arranged in a way that maximizes interaction. Even during ancient times, the hunters would come together because they had some similar goals, and working in a group would provide them security and efficiency. They would form small groups and live together and this would suffice their needs as a community. They would build tents, houses and shelters such that it could enhance their interaction and workrate and help communicate better together. A similar concept is seen in the Basti. A sense of oneness, togetherness, and security is achieved through this! Previous Next Adaptable Units

Narrative: Mumbai, a city of seven islands, is one of the biggest cities of India and is also the financial and entertainment capital of the country. Post-independence, these industries attracted people from all over the country in search of jobs. Flash floods/ seasonal floods trouble the city almost every year. This leaves many vulnerable populations without shelter and food. Thus, students from Rachana Sansad's academy of architecture propose a solution by identifying possible sites and campuses and redesigning them for better disaster management of the city. Our team has partnered with the BMC G- South Ward office of Mumbai to identify these vulnerable settlements and populations and provide adequate facilities in times of disasters. By using shipping containers, the design offers a rapid construction time frame and better structural resilience. Vihaan with the way it has been designed, is an efficient solution to absorb panicked people in difficult times, calm them down and accommodate them making them feel as if it's their home.

The other phase is to understand landscape, architectural building, and comic illustration created by professionals. The agenda was to create and illustrate a drawing that shows an understanding of grids illustrates certain functions observed by the professional illustrators. The functions and activities of Tintin, as a detective, were observed. Along with this, his journey on various missions around different locations in the city, seeking that person, were recorded.

Previous Next Semester Ar. Amey Ghosalkar, Ar. Nitesh Avhad V, VII Studio Conductors : : : Architecture has always been a subject, discussed and presented very seriously by architects a lot of times. Majority of times we present and perceive it in a very formal way – ‘It is what it is’. But in the daily serious and busy life, we forget to enjoy our environment in which we live. The College project looks at built in a humorous way and tries to question the reality through sarcastic visualizations of the built and talk about its story. HOWISEEIT
