Some of those are small and affect on a micro-scale, while few show drastic changes in landscapes. This college project intends to create general awareness about the environment and the consequences of one's actions. To comprehend this study, a game-based activity was conducted where students had to design the graphic and interface of the game. GREEN GAMES

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. The landscape talks about a street in a busy city. Previous Next Taxonomy Of Grids 1

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

Shruti Barve : : : : : : : : : The Rock Garden sits near Sukhna Lake. It consists of man-made interlinked waterfalls and many other sculptures that have been made of scrap and other kinds of waste (bottles, glasses, bangles, tiles, ceramic pots, sinks, electrical waste, broken pipes, etc.) which are placed in walled paths. In his spare time, Nek Chand started collecting materials from demolition sites around the city. He recycled these materials into his own vision of the divine kingdom of Sukrani, choosing a gorge in a forest near Sukhna Lake for his work. Rock Garden is major tourist attraction hotspot for Chandigarh. The play of landscape along with Nek-chands fantasy is exciting to study about. The synch of landscape amenities like waterfall, rocks, vegetation, sky cover, concrete, etc. makes the feel of space heavenly. Although one feels trapped in the experience of space yet there is sense of relief due to the landscape and accessibility of sky. Previous Next Rock Garden : A fantasy

Mahesh Khanolkar, Ar. Rupa Sheth, Ar. Rajan Kulkarni : : : : : : : : : : : The brief demanded a maritime university with other ancillary functions including laboratories, workshops, training spaces and a hostel for the students along with a museum which showcases the journey of the maritime field in all its glory. The biggest challenge for this project on a personal level was to deal with these two completely contrasting functions, one being a private, strict, disciplined system while the other being open to all the people who wish to visit it thus making it a very public endeavor. It was important to ensure that these functions get their due privacy and at the same time are not restricted by each other's presence. The uni-exhibition is an attempt to transform the university and its day-to-day functioning into an exhibit that allows the public, that is coming in to visit the museum, to visually interact with it without disturbing it. The museum in such a context has two prominent advantages, the first being its close proximity to the sea without which the field of maritime could not exist and second being a part of the university that ensures the continuity of the field. Together, these two made the past, present and future of maritime and thus, it became essential to exhibit them as well before introducing people to the museum. The context consists of petroleum plants and industrial facilities making the site fairly isolated from public contact, the main road being over 3km away from it. The introduction of the Trans-Harbor link, construction of which is currently underway, would connect Sewri to Navi Mumbai via a sea bridge which would bring in a lot of influx into Sewri. Consequently, the future prospect of Sewri is bright and thus, it was important to deal with built typology sensitively as it would set an example for the future development in the region.

It contributes on a larger scale to the growth and development of the Indian economy. It is one of the earliest to come into existence in India, it accounts for 14% of the total Industrial production, contributes to nearly 30% of the total exports and is the second largest employment generator after agriculture. Almost all the states in India have a characteristic feature in manufacturing their own textile fabric. From the Pashmina’s of Kashmir and Banarasi Silk of Uttar Pradesh in the north to Kalamkari of Andhra Pradesh and Kanjivaram of Tamil Nadu in the south varying from the Bnadhani of Gujarat and Paithani of Maharashtra in the west to the Sambhalpuri of Odisha and Jamdhani of West Bengal in the east, each of these fabrics have their own defined character which marks their symbol that emerges in each of its states. One of the styles which marks its symbol in the state of Maharashtra are the Solapuri Chaddars. It manufactures not only chaddars but also items such as, towels, terry towels, napkins and bedsheets have marked their symbol because of its strength and durability. They are made up of cotton, as cotton is grown on a larger scale in Solapur because of its favorable conditions. The city has evolved from the origin of mills to the use of handloom and powerloom sector and developing itself to the use of autolooms and rapier looms. The textile industry in Solapur provides employment to large number of laborers. Today hand - looms and powerlooms are used on a large scale, mostly powerlooms. The products manufactured from these equipment’s are exported all over the world. Also, the waste fabric isn’t thrown away, people use it to make handicraft items such as fabric lanterns, purses, bags, mobile covers, etc. To carry forward this legacy the proposal is to create the Textile Hub wherein, people can learn the entire process, handle the equipment’s, and understand the required marketing strategies. This proposal will not only be favourable for the people to learn but also to earn in the same space. It will also promote textiles which are made here and mark the presence of Solapuri textiles on a global scale. This research is divided into three parts wherein, first part talks about Solapur as a transit city, introduction of Solapuri textiles, history and literature review. The second part is about understanding the process, issues faced by the textile industry, introduction to handloom and power loom, activities and user analysis, skills and the organizers. The further stages talk about the case studies, proposal and site identification. The third part concludes the dissertation. THE TEXTILE HUB, a place to learn and earn

A form of glacier grafting technique that creates artificial glaciers, used for storing winter water which would go rather waste in the form of conical heaps. Water in winters starts to freeze in a conical shape and feed the farms when the water is most needed by the farmers. What is Ice Stupa?

Larger volumes and varying levels allow one to reimagine the space within and gives the idea of still being connected to another even when not in close proximity. The house would host an array of different functions and activities with each space flowing into each other and decorated with various curios collected and inherited over the years. The key forces of nature are embraced within this space - bursting with natural light and ventilation throughout the day. The transitioning from the exterior to the interiors would be seamless with the form being the carrier of movement. The movement of the sun brought in by various openings tells a different story throughout the day. A house that would grow, thrive, and fade back into nature along with its inhabitants.

What can be done to ensure that each and every person can experience architecture and that Indian society does not mimic the architecture of the western business model but stays true to its regional context?
