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

Narrative: Starting our research by showrooms, we analyzed spaces planned and requirements for each space. The site proposed is located in an urban context consisting of a Hero Moto Corp service showroom, which catered to the extra space required for the service area. The process started with form development, a basic cuboidal form with the addition of a mezzanine floor, which gave an overhang to the front glass facade which protected interiors from the extreme harsh sun. Also, a rectangular plan allows less negative spaces and more space utilization. The zoning of spaces is done ensuring optimal use of built space and catering to the user traffic. Considering road junctions in the urban context, the front and west side facades are provided with a glass glazing wall. This provides visual access to the pedestrians, thus captivating customers and increasing footfall. A newly launched model is displayed on a circular podium opposite the entrance. A band of red stripes, meandering about the floor gives a sense of flow. A sense of unification between the interiors is observed through the element of stripes. The light element provides a bold backdrop to the display models. The entire space was planned to satisfy every user's requirements, thus maintaining the user and space engagement.

Nitesh Avhad : : : : : : : : : : : The Site was located at the Beruit Port affected by the Accidental blast, which destroyed most of its infrastructure, and the port became a ground zero for one of the worst tragedies faced by Lebanon. The idea of this project was to create design iterations as fast as possible, along with thinking about construction techniques and feasibility of material given the conditions on site. An edge on the port was selected to facilitate recreational activities on that front, creating a shelter for activities to happen below, having larger spans and more free space below, thus creating a much better transition between the outside and inside. These factors and the flow of people throughout the site allowed us to reiterate the form of the structure, along with material and construction factors, these parameters strongly dictated the form and member intervals of the structure, creating relevant details and how the structural members work was also one of the factors.

Thus at the end of the room , the buffer space acts as a barriers during the lectures due to window curtains , furniture and creates an buffer space . The side walls are having the absorption values so that the reverberation of the sound does not takes place.the front wall of the room are having the reflected surface so that the sound can reflect and travel to the maximum distance while the ceiling has both reflection and absorption values to balance out the acoustic standards of the room. Thus from reflection to absorption, different materials are used across the room to create an acoustically good room .nence the 8mm acoustic panels are suspended from the ceiling through hanger wire and attached to the metal grid and as well they are cladded to the walls on the wooden battens .

This simple question led to developing an Activity-based workplace’ approach with work-life balance, network learning, Interactions, and a sense of community. An Activity-based workplace aids in one’s personal and collaborative growth. It is a mix of open, semi-open, and private spaces for each user. Thus, having connectivity as well as buffers, nooks, and niches, level of privacy, and proximity of spaces considering the needs of all users was crucial. Situated on Topea island of Bora Bora islands, the site is a tropical wonder. It overlooks the lagoon water and the mighty mount Otemanu backing it. The Design derives cues from topography, vegetation and then tries to integrate them with Spaces and Netflix’s work philosophy. This results in an amorphous structure with varied volumes and space qualities making it fun and functional for the users. The project focuses on accessibility, inclusivity, and socio-economic fundamentals. The Design also delves into Interior Architecture, Landscape architecture, and Structural design in detail to bring out the best for the client. Previous Next Corporate Den By Netflix.Inc 1

It portrays the psychological memory for all for extreme aggression and destruction (Symbolic destruction) – The gruesome experience of 1917, helplessness and the need of survival. This is to focus on the memory of people and events to satisfy people’s psychological requirement with memorial behavior. To also cater to the space to act as a symbol – To rather not mourn the deaths but celebrate the lives of soldiers (To personify the pride to pay tribute). The Symbolic destruction is to highlight the importance of a symbol which attaches function giving emotion to that symbol constructed as a journey to instigate re – thinking of the concept of war and spread awareness among people about the specific events or places throughout history.

Juhi Prasad : : : : : : : : : : : In our day-to-day life, we see many spaces but we often don't know how these spaces are built by elements like - Columns, Floors, Walls, etc. This project helped me understand how different elements are used in a building to make up the space. In the Asiatic Library, the Floor is used as a space for support and stability. Steps act as a strong and rigid element and are used for movement. The column is used as a movement guide and for support as well. The door and roof functioned for their purpose. In the Temple of Hatshepsut, walls act as a protection to the mortuary inside. Columns act as rhythm. all of this was identified by drawing diagrams for it. Elements of Space Making 2

Amey Ghosalkar : : : : : : : : : : : The port can be divided into two categories; the working port and the passenger port. The working port primarily consists of technical functions with specified efficiencies, excluding a few administrative buildings. The passenger zone on the other hand can have a public scope, place-making qualities and an opportunity to contribute positively to the city’s situation. We would like to incorporate elements from their lost heritage style, create spaces that pay homage to the lost lives, and a memorial for the explosion. The idea is to incorporate a cultural platform that uses the deformed inland area without flattening it. This aims at showing resilience for the locals, giving them a place to perform and display their art and also allow for periodic fests, which would bring in further tourism, foreign investments and sponsorships. We wish to respond to the economic and social issues of the city through the port at 3 broad levels. One, the public participatory platform will give the locals a place to display, market and monetize their art or skills. Two, the port will aim at reusing as much material as possible from the blast, reducing construction costs, it will also manage its waste and energy in a manner that allows it to be self-sufficient. Three, it will use the public platform as a tool to attract foreign investments, and the passenger terminal will be designed to enhance tourism. Rejuvenating Beirut
