Rajan Kulkarni : : : : : : : : : : : The project was to design a veterinary institute and hospital in the commercial suburb of Lower Parel in Mumbai. Nestled in the middle of the cosmopolitan, the main aim of the concept was to simulate a spatial relationship between humans and animals and establish a holistic environment of interaction and co-existence for both. After studying animal psychology extensively, the design incorporates various design interventions, aiding the same. Terracotta fins; and open and well-ventilated corridors are inspired by the vernacular built of old structures in Mumbai. The form is organic and curvilinear and aids in seamlessly connecting all the structures on the site thereby, fostering a link between its varied users. The external-internal connection has been devised diligently in several ways where humans and animals have a connection in some way, at all points. The green pockets blend in with the built and ultimately render a free-flowing openness amidst the two curved arms of the structure. Previous Next Maritime Institute/ Veterinary Institute 2

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.

Richa Raut, Ar. Saurabh Jain, Ar. Rohit Karekar, Ar. Shekoba Sanap : : : : : : : : : : : The project aims to give architectural experiences to the users that are framed around natural elements like the sky, vegetation, land, and the lake present on the site. These elements are seen everywhere but are not experienced to the fullest, especially in the cities. The users mainly come from the cities; hence the idea was to give them a maximum experience of the diverse nature. Being an intervention in a site full of diverse nature, architecture has been designed to enhance and complement this nature, also being impactful and not just volumes placed on the site. The aim was to keep the architecture simple, informal, and elegant avoiding any kind of complexity. The rigid orthogonal form makes a strong and bold impact on the sloping contours with a sloping roof from all four sides giving a varying volumetric experience. The color palette is a neutral palette to blend and compliment the setting. The architectural elements have been used for different kinds of experiences and functions.

The COA Heritage Award aims to encourage interest and talent of students for understanding,Documenting of Heritage buildings. Narrative: Bangar is a village located in the Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand. It has a total population of about 280 people wherein 60% of it is dominated by the women of the village. This village, located on the banks of River Nayar, is almost 700-900 years old. Most of the villagers are involved in agriculture and defence as their core occupation. It is a very old settlement with a rich cultural heritage. The settlement started at the age of the kings and continued to survive till date due to their rich cultural and traditional practices. The local Garhwali style of architecture is adopted in all their structures. In spite of the advent of urbanisation and modernisation, they still continue to use the traditional old materials and methods of construction keeping the traditional architecture intact. However, due to lack of services and opportunities, migration has become a major issue resulting in the gradual shrinking of the village. The settlements are homogeneous and it is this single tie which holds the entire village together. Bangar is the only village in the Garhwal district which is located in the valley. Over the years, there has been geographical and historical evolution in house planning as well as in street planning. There has also been unique construction and intricate detailing done, which have been documented and studied in detail.

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
