Understanding the strength and weakness of darkseekers , Guggenheim museum satisfies the site selection criteria. The values like boldness , organicness , complexness and major axis guides the overall design . The approach is on structural additions of bold expressive forms which has unperceivable functionality which adds hidden characteristics providing unique characteristics of spaces. Hre the form of the spaces reflects the functional behavior of the user. The boldness and organicness can also be expressed in terms of the materials as incorporated. The rangers , the scientist and the agriculturist occupy the structure according to their maximum advantage , the structure reflects the personality of the persons and they react according to the functionality and spaces required to them to remain camouflaged at night while also creating a cohesive relationship between the users. Thus adaptive reuse of the structure also looks at fast construction technology and sustainability standards for the on site fulfillment. Previous Next I am Legend

The story involved varied landscape settings, from the wild dense forests to the elegant gardens and opulent caves. These descriptions added a strong visual quality to the story, serving as background to adventure, awe, love, and power. The transitions in the flora throughout the journey highlight the multiplicity and ruggedness balanced with the beauty of the lesser Himalayas and the Alaknanda river basin. The playful topography of dense Khirsu forests consist of the tall deodar trees, the flowers in the valleys, and the still covered pond-formed. The perceived order of the manicured garden and the formation of the cave palace shows the richness that landscapes of mythology embody. Previous Next Where Saugandhika Grows….

The improved mutant of transitory traditional nomads, they travel and anchor themselves preferably in a pre-existing community with suitable infrastructure, for a desired short duration. Even though technology helps their mobility, the indigenous society and local community also play a significant role in their journey. Having the thirst of authentic tourists, they look forward to the knowledge and emotional exchange with the locals. Their give and take transactions are necessary for the human race to promote interculturality and maintain global cross-boundary relations. The Digital Nomads are certainly a boon for society. It is essential to morph these travelers within the existing local fabric. Thus, the aim of the research thesis is to define a social infrastructure that gathers and centralizes Digital Nomads by promoting chanced encounters with the pre-existing local communities. Research advances by studying community-based Business Models of ‘Zostel, we-work, Park & Play’. All work towards getting diverse communities together. The hybrid models like Unsettled (Bali), Selina (Global), Outsite (Global); have a comprehensive range of spaces and programs that not only serve all infrastructural needs of a Digital Nomad but also promote numerous exchanges with the locals. Streamlining the context of research, Worli Koliwada in Mumbai is selected as the zone for intervention. The need of the hour is to preserve the livelihood of an indigenous community that is endangered, by converting it into a sustainable community model. Amplifying the importance of these indigenous communities by developing them for tourism as they hold a factor of diverse engagement. Thus, the design proposal will house local, domestic, foreign visitors who wish to be a part of this arrangement. They will be asked to sign-up for a RENTAL MODEL, a combination of Amenities +Leisure +Engagement. A model which provides an incentive to both the parties, by providing diverse opportunities for chanced encounters.

Initially, it started with having a story in mind. The story was based on a conspiracy theory, of DO ALIENS EXIST? We all have our theory on this topic and I have mine too. The story is about how aliens are the supersmart living on Mars, how they have the most unique inventions, machinery, and some amazing technology which is the future of technology for earthlings. But they lack one thing that the earthlings are blessed with and that is ‘Nature’, and now their entire focus is directed towards replicating nature. The planet where these aliens live in the ‘ Marsiverse’. How ironic is the fact that the earthlings are creating more and more technology and in turn hampering Nature which is so abundant here whereas aliens are trying their best and creating the best technology to create Nature! This story gave rise to the illustration that you are viewing right now!

The first step in this process was understanding the existing contours on site, and then modifying them so as to help in the ease of water drainage on site. Necessary plans have been created to show these applications on site. The addition of rain gardens helps in percolation of water into the soil, thus increasing the underground water table. Aluminum-steel gratings have been proposed around the tree trunks, to help in increasing the absorption of water content. Rain water harvesting system has also been proposed, with rainwater downtake pipes on top of the built structures to further help in making this a sustainable project. Gradation

The objective was to make a traditional but minimalist design. The kitchen is at the heart of the house and opens into the dining area and living room without any visual barrier. The house is designed to make the kitchen the preeminent social space. The living room could be outstretched into a terrace to accommodate friends and guests on weekends and special occasions. A foldable bed at one end of the kitchen creates a temporary setting for home helpers without any encroachment on their privacy. The bedroom has minimalist furniture which steps up to the terrace for a calmer view. The materials are used repetitively with variations in textures and colours, which aid to the minimalistic, traditional ‘wada’ theme. The FUSION

We understood how space adapts to the movement of the human body and responds to it. Various medieval & renaissance paintings were analyzed and then attempted to recreate the same. All this helped to understand the human body, its proportions, movements, and space. This methodology helped us to focus on both the qualitative and quantitative data. Then we made anthropometric drawings to further our understanding. We then found scenarios where these particular postures could be utilized in today’s world.

After the analysis, we had to enact body postures of a scene from the painting and create the diagram with proper anthropometric measurements. Further, these body postures were perceived as an interaction with the cityscape in the modern-day era. Previous Next Body And Movement In Space 2

Rohit Karekar aishwaryar19@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : : : Most of the women in India are unaware of the fact that the sanitary pads which we use contain about 90% of the plastic and are very difficult to recycle and it takes 400 - 500 yrs to decompose. Also, there is a difficulty while disposing of like we have different colored garbage bins for different types of waste but there is no such proper disposal system for sanitary pads in India. Most of the women dispose of their pad by wrapping it in the plastic provided with it and then throwing it in the dustbin nearby. Later this becomes inconvenient and affects the health of the person who is segregating the garbage. If I become the CM, first I would make a rule to use biodegradable pads which are made out of natural materials like bamboo, cotton, straw bale and are processed to make leak proof and soft, and also convenient to use and dispose of. Also, I will make sure that there is a proper disposing area or a bin for the sanitary pads. Menstrual cups are the best alternative for sanitary pads as they can be sterilized and reused resulting in less waste. This initiative will make the country a clean and beautiful place to live in.
