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

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.

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.
