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

The COA Heritage Award aims to encourage interest and talent of students for understanding,Documenting of Heritage buildings. Narrative: An essential aspect that separates this structure from any other handicraft is the huge scale of the Uru. The documentation holistically explored the translation of this scale while associating it with an architectural building. The core objective behind this project resides in the principle that these ships don't follow a set of pre-hand working drawings which is a fundamental feature in any aspect of a real time architectural design Thereby, treating the Ship, its site and the entire premise as an architectural structure, environment and its program transpired to be the biggest aspiration of this journey. The documentation is an attempt to bring forth the design-based semblances working upon the curvatures of the ship and various parametric permutations applied in architecture all around the globe. This builds up an untold narrative that encapsulates the ship and the town of Beypore. The drawings produced, the places mapped, and the context studied all pursue a different purpose and follow various methods yet merge together in a network of connections. The Uru exhibition replicates the relationship between the Khalasis, their culture, the craft and its history while treating the ship, the site, and Beypore, each of it at different scales as different canvases.

We further researched the manufacturing process of the tea and represented it through an infographic which became the main attraction of the poster. The poster also highlights the evolution of the logo of Tetley’s company, their marketing strategies from 1973 to 2015, User experiences of Tetley green tea.

In reality, it can be the new revolution in recycling. It is rich in nitrogen and other minerals which can produce plant fertilizers. It is also an excellent absorber of oil and is currently used as a safe alternative to cleaning oil spills in the ocean, but is yet to expand to a large scale. If we are mindful of this material, we can substantially harness its hidden benefits and utilize it for humanity’s sustenance. Hair Recycle Management Program

This project challenged and tested our knowledge which we gained through the course of the year. First, we were introduced to a bunch of diverse artists and their works. We had an extensive one-to-one session with them where we interacted and tried to understand their ideologies and what goes on in their mind when they make their art. The artist assigned to me was Teja Gavankar for whom I had to design a studio space. A lot of process and research was involved which helped me come to my final design. First, we had to do a thorough research on our artist and understand their art. Next, we had to diagrammatically represent their works by giving it a spatial quality. Next, we had to start exploring those diagrams by converting them into forms and spaces which eventually lead to the final design. This design project demanded a lot of thought and implementation of all our previous exercises. Previous Next Intersecting Spaces

We focused on different aspects of the ball, such as its making, uses, material, evolution, and effect on the economy. Billiards, being an indoor sport, has a lot going on behind its manufacturing as the table, the ball, and the cue stick are each made of three different materials. The ball, being smooth and shiny, is more dense than it appears to be. Billiard balls and the physics behind the rolling of the ball on the table somehow make the sport unique in its own way. The exercise helped us understand how different materials are being used in a single sport and how different these manufacturing processes are. Billiard Ball

Narrative: The proposal of the Bungalow was conceptualized for a couple in their 50’s. Before the pandemic, they were living in their apartment in the city of Chennai. Up until their 50’s, they have experienced a hectic urban life. During the pandemic as they shift to work from home mode and a few years are left for their retirement so they decide to move to Pondicherry.The proposed design tries to incorporate spirituality in the spaces so as to enhance their post-urban city life. The planning is based on the traditional Indian courtyard house. The only difference being is that an open plan is adapted so as to have transparency between spaces. The design proposal has an RCC framed structure with filler slab – clay pot technology. The walls of the house are made from CSEB (Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks). This ensures a tranquil sense in spaces. The scale of the spaces; light; exposed materials; open plan and interior elements are used to ensure a sense of spirituality throughout the spaces. The main intent is to make the user adapt to large spaces; tranquility and spirituality as opposed to small apartments so as to enhance the post retirement experience.

Every household and every resident of each city and town should make it their habit to segregate waste into Wet/ kitchen waste, Dry Domestic waste, and Hazardous Domestic waste. 1. Taking Dry waste, for instance, Dry waste can be easily reused and recycled hence there should be an encouragement to reuse and recycle this waste. 2. The domestic hazardous waste should be burnt and converted to energy and fuels instead of dumping them in landfills 3. The wet waste should be used to make the soil fertile using vermicomposting and not thrown in compost pits. These are some of how waste can be reduced, reused, and recycled Ek din ki CM

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….
