The client, Rohit, is a food enthusiast who turned into a home chef in the 2020 pandemic. He lives with his wife and household, who helps him in his business. 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

Narrative: Design-a-muse competition is aimed at visualising an abstract art as a three-dimensional form. It began from understanding a 20th century abstract art style, choosing any one artform from it and extruding its essence in a structure. Suprelion is a public installation inspired by the Suprematist painting ‘The 18th Construction’. Emotions are evoked by colours and textures- this is the principle used in suprematism and thus the painting selected. Each part of the installation invokes a distinct feeling when approached visually or physically. These feelings are inspired from the components in the painting. ‘The 18th construction‘ is a completely abstract painting that is open for interpretation while following the principles.

Narrative: The Design proposal served as an interface between the city of Mumbai and the people of Dharavi. The design evolved in response to the lifestyles of the people. The site has two main entrances, one leading to offices and the other leading to the night school, workshops, studios, and the performance area. A chai tapri and newspaper stall provide a social arena that forms the transition between the two spaces. The scarcity of economic means pushed us to devise strategies for an intelligent use of the available resources. Shipping containers presented themselves as a cost-effective solution to our problem. They are the perfect shape and size to be repurposed as a habitable space. The high density of Dharavi asks for an intensive use of spaces, where multiple functionalities coexist in the same physical space, and where borders between interiors and exteriors are blurred. Households are open to the street, and as a result become part of the highly salient social texture of the community. Keeping this in mind, the incubation cells and coworking spaces were meticulously zoned to incorporate narrow streets and small seating areas that serve as spots that facilitate as well as encourage communication and interaction between the young entrepreneurs. The interconnections made between different offices on the first-floor level create more circulation spaces. Through the second entrance, the exhibition, and the performance area on the right stand as the centre of attraction. The performance area is connected to studios and practice rooms. On the left, through a series of workshop areas (pottery, leather tanning, tailoring, etc) one advances towards the longitudinally spanning school and the library situated on the first floor.

A wandering sheep seen by Jill, On her way to get water from the hill. To the pasture, she returned it, While jack she saw across the street. Jack and Jill went up the hill, While the shepherd with his sheep away, To fetch a pail of water. Went to the shrine, in hopes to pray. He saw marauder jack atop the hill, And thought, jack was the one to steal. They brawled, jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after. The shepherd watched jack die, With tears in his eye. The only words he could hear Jill say, “It was I, who put the sheep away.” Previous Next Implicating Shephard

The necessary column, beams and slab layouts with use of isolated and combined footings for the project. Advanced slabs have been incorporated in the auditorium spaces, to create a columnless design. A Tensile roof canopy has been incorporated in the design, to allow shading for the food court space, during the summer months and can be disassembled during the winter months. The respective drawings and details have been studied for the same. Structural Systems

Kath kuni is a local and ancient building practice which has survived in the foothills of Himalayas for Centuries. The main materials used are locally available stone and wood. The word kath kuni is derived from Sanskrit Kasht and Kuni which implies wood in the corners. It is characterized by interlocking wood and stone which is topped with slate roof which helps to hold the roof in place. Many of the structures along the foothills of himalayas are built using this technique and are centuries old surviving all types of seismic and climatic forces. A typical Kathkuni house is two to three storey but can reach up to 7 storey high. Walls are doubled skinned and made of alternate layers of stone and wood. The thick walls help in maintaining the temperature and thus making it suitable for living. The Yurt

Yagnik Bathija : : : : : : : : : : : The human has been developing his characters through his maritime journey, he discovered instruments to navigate, crafted vessels to travel, battle and colonize, and at last the addiction to commerce and trade which has seen catastrophic consequences because of industrialization. This representation of the journey of humans from the past has been detrimental to himself because of his deeds. Today in this moment of realization he stands and witnesses the horizon and has the choice to decide whether he wants to sustain through clean methods or take the current course and dive to extinction. Architecture of today is a bridge and facilitator for the human to absorb the reaction which the land is suffering, we will need to be very conscious of our ecological contours and include them as a defense and appreciative help towards reversing the change.

Narrative: The vision of creating a machine like system which works like a factory to heal the patients is the idea of the project. Rethinking about the healthcare infrastructure is of the utmost need of the time, because of the collapse which India especially Mumbai has seen due to the outbreak of the coronavirus is unimaginable. The idea of creating control over movement and sequences of patients in cooperation with infrastructure development is the need of healthcare architecture. There has to be some initiative which ponders upon the idea of sustaining any kind of pandemic catering to huge amount of patients which can only be achieved through the system of proper control and expansions with a strong backup. Sticking to the basics of factories' process of manufacturing, packaging and delivering; one with this monotonous routine can have a clear idea of connections with no loopholes for any sabotage or out-break. The tree like planning governs an upper hand over the existing rhizomatic planning for better connections and proper safety of care takers. We strongly believe that steel as a material would act as a catalyst in this process of creating fast, simple and a basic design.
