Amit Jain : : : : : : : : : : : Set in the context of a quaint background hidden in nature, the house features many open spaces and quiet secluded nooks for each individual to practice their hobbies and interests, made of materials drawn from nature to bring in the idea of being grounded and close to their roots. 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.

Second and third-tier cities in India are often left with basic built forms which are barely functional and not aesthetically pleasing. 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? How can our country live up to the true meaning of democracy? Decentralizing Architecture

Disgusting visuals, irk-some odour, and long queues are the scenarios associated with toilets in a developing nation like India. This studio engaged students to study and resolve these areas of concern involving ease of accessibility of a public toilet at urban, rural and transit levels by generic discussion and understanding limitations.

Narrative: The world is engulfed with unending stories all around. The notion applies not only to humans, but each living creature, as well as a non-living object that exists. The existence of one forms a story in itself. All existing ingredients of this world play a role knowingly or unknowingly in these narrations. A story can be categorized into multiple divisions. Broadly, we can summarize them as, [a] a story that somehow evolves over the time based on some incidents that takes up its form through exaggerations & cooked up details, which can be termed as rumors. [b] a story that is told from ages which eventually doesn’t confine itself to just a storyline, but becomes a belief, ritual or a superstition that can be termed as mythological fictions. [c] a story that we live daily, nothing but our experiences. As such, these stories can be placed on a timeline irrespective of its factual nature. This timeline helps us understand the originality and additions that occur to the story and how a narrative unfolds. This crucial fluidity allows for permutations and combinations to exist that help us curate our own platform to explore and read the world in our own way.

Interaction and Activity in a natural environment is the key focus of the competition. Narrative: CONCEPT Amidst the everyday hustle of the academy, the one thing that is constant is the need for a break. The design of the amphitheatre revolves around the idea of creating niches of refreshment for the students. In the current scenario, the amphitheatre is under-utilized as it is not a part of the regular movement path. The design concept aims to provide a distraction from everyday stress by making the amphitheatre a point of social attraction. DESIGN The design creates spaces that cater to individuals as well as larger groups. The space as a whole is free for creative interactions and supports various activities. The waste containers and pipes provide a unique twist to the music corner. The exercise corner promotes a healthy way of relaxation. The free flowing curvilinear frame segregates these spaces but at the same time ties these corners together to provide porosity. The central arena encourages social interaction and public gathering activities. This combined with the cultural events and activities would make the amphitheatre an integral part of an academite's life.

Parameshar palak19@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : : : Electricity is the flow of electric power or charge. It is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has the property of electric charge. Production of Electricity SIMPLE GENERATOR DYNAMO A voltage is produced when a magnet moves in a coil of wire. Generators induce a current by spinning a wire of wire inside a magnetic field or spinning a magnet inside a coil of wire. As this happens a potential difference is produced between the ends of a coil which causes a current to flow. THREE-PHASE ELECTRICITY Three-phase electric power is a common method of alternating current power generation, transmission, and distribution. It is a type of polyphase system. THERMAL POWER GENERATION The burning of fuels such as oil, coal, and LNG (liquefied natural gas) fires a boiler to generate high-temperature, high-pressure steam. This steam is used to drive a steam turbine. A generator attached to the steam turbine generates electricity. STEAM POWER GENERATION Fuels such as heavy oil, LNG (liquefied natural gas), and coal are burned inside a boiler to generate steam at high temperatures and high pressure. This steam is used to rotate the impeller of the steam turbine. This drives the power generators connected to the turbine that generates electricity. This system has a thermal efficiency of around 42% to 46% and functions as a base-to-middle-load supply. Sources of Electricity 1

For our group, we chose the egg crate as our product. In the graphic, we have shown the life cycle of an egg crate, right from the sourcing of materials to make it, right upto the end of its life cycle, i.e, in our dustbins. It would be meaningless to talk about the life cycle of the crate alone, since without the eggs it is not a viable product. Hence the graphic shows both life cycles simultaneously, for a better understanding of the processes involved in the making of this product, which has one of the highest daily selling numbers across the globe. The term life ‘cycle’ portrays that its life does not end at our dustbins. The nature of the product is such that it is 100% recyclable, and the first step of sourcing the materials begins from collection of these crates from the garbage itself. Egg Crate

But in the case of the port of Beirut; time is of the essence. Continuing from the ruins and adding value to the place. The main idea of this project was to create a long-span structure that responds to the context of Beirut, the tragic explosion that occurred in 2020. The master planning started with a focal point , that is the silos ruins and expanded with the principles of user centric design. While developing the planning, a major component was the design of informal public spaces . Making sure the privacy of the port is not hindered , at the same time making the port more accessible as a leisure space. The aim was to develop the site as an active space. Masterplan for the port
