Joel Roy : : : : : : : : : : : During this studio, we were introduced to the concept of visual boundaries through which we understood the idea of space. We identified certain boundaries around us, documented them through pictures, various forms of drawings and made certain analysis. Space is determined by its boundaries and the rigidity of it is isn’t as vivid as it might seem. The latter part of the exercise focused more on the idea of space. Human movement and space are two interrelated concepts. Space is affected by human movement and vice versa. With this in mind we selected certain images and analysed the enclosure of space and movement. With the drawing, we have mapped different aspects from the picture.

After a gray period, the damage caused by the explosion at Beirut, gives a chance to rethink the structure of the city. Contrasting to the earlier government centric and corrupt system, the city is being planned now in a way to bring the citizens to the center. Getting them together, providing them with better amenities and lifestyle and making them more aware of the same. Several public facilities have been designed along the sea-shore and at strategic points in the city to allow people leisure and public participation in the building of the city. Green patches have been reintroduced to the city through these patches. The cultural center acts as a built form that reflects the new city culture. It homes a wide range of functions and attracts people from a wide range of interests to occupy and move all around the building. The circular form allows the people to have a complete exterior view of the city and the court in the center attracts all the attention from all common balconies on each floor while the attached lawn provides informal seating and leisure spaces.

It opened the doors for free trade through the government policies in the name of development. Over the years these reforms have led to a centralized economy in the nation, recently leading the private organizations to influence the drafting of government policies. The effects of the centralized system is evidently seen through the “development” of the urban centres, solely. The development pattern depends on these urban centres which somehow have ill effects on the rural parts of the nation. This leads to an unhealthy connection between the rural & urban parts of India, usually in the form of Brain Drain, through the medium of migration. M.K.Gandhi through his writings & speeches always preached about the importance of a decentralized economy wherein the villages forms the foundation of nation building in all aspects. The Gandhian Philosophy of Decentralization aims to envision all the distinct authorization bodies at different levels to be on one equal platform, with equal delegation of authority, unlike the centralized system that follows a hierarchic pattern leading to discrepancies in terms of monetary as well as authorization factors. The enhancement of a decentralized system is a path ahead towards a sustainable habitat of the nation, not just economically, but also to attain a lovable living condition.

Sanjay Mehta : : : : : : : : : : : https://issuu.com/aoa_confluence_2022/docs/atharvar_47_dd_book_for_issuu : Studio Conductors : : : The DMIC (Delhi – Mumbai Industrial Corridor) project was launched in pursuance of a MOU signed between the Government of India and the Government of Japan in December 2006. "The project’s aim is to create a business model out of urbanization and the trunk infrastructure would help in land monetization and undertaking-specific greenfield and brownfield industrial and physical infrastructure projects. While the corridor stretches from Dadri to JNPT the JNPT near Mumbai, it engages six more states in it namely, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra. In Maharashtra, an additional elongation of the corridor has been decided and to connect the JNPT and the Dighi Port from the Raigad district was the new plan. Because of these unexpected alterations in the project, the state government started acquiring land of the people from the district on a very short notice. These resulted in the protest against the project as the people were totally unaware of the purpose for the land acquisition, their unassured Rehabilitation and were also unsatisfied about the compensation promised for their land. Many farm lands and undocumented lands of the adivasis were also illegally acquired by the land agents even before the project was announced to the common people. Raigad being very close in proximity with Mumbai and Navi Mumbai and also because of the smooth connectivity through both roadways and waterway, the district has been always under rapid urbanization and several infrastructural developments. This has been a threat to the farming sector and the agricultural graph is seen to be continuously falling down. With the industrialization and enhancement of the corporate sector because of the DMIC the leftover agricultural land would undoubtedly be abandoned and people will have no option but to leave farming and move towards the private sector. There needs to be a platform established for the farming community and the youth to emphasize the scope in the field to give them enough reason to direct and advance their skills in the agriculture sector. Hence, educating and empowering not only the farmer’s group but also the new generation is necessary to sustain farming for a longer run and balance the agriculture and the industrial sector after completion of the DMIC project by the year 2035. A farmers’ training institute where advanced farming methods and modern strategies for better yield are proposed in the research. It will be assisted with tourist facilities to promote the fundamental program and also the context of the selected site highly demands the assisted program. Large emphasis of the program is to work for the beneficiaries of the affected villages by the DMIC and to provide employment opportunities through farming as a medium. Hence, promoting FPO (Farmer producer organization) which will also look upon the outsource of the produce and can become a reliable solution in the initial building phase of the project. The research involves study of the existing socio economic fabric of the affected villages of Raigad district and what transition would it go through in the development phase of the DMIC. Its positive and negative impact on the locals and what initiatives would aid the farming community to sustain in the near and the long future is catered in the program formulation part of the research. To ensure the cohesive working of the industrial and the agricultural sector in the affected region by the Delhi Mumbai Industrial corridor and finding appropriate proposals for the interest of the people has been the ultimate purpose of the research.

These visual boundaries are perceived for their nature, character, construct, materiality, and function. They enclose Space. Studying the various aspects of these visual boundaries and their organization has led us to begin to perceive the basic constructs of space and the relationship it possesses to the movement of various bodies in space. In the due course of observing and recognizing we stumble upon various organizational constructs of field, space, and movement documented through photographs and drawings. We perceived and analyzed the organization and construct of field and space and the resulting movement of the body in the particular field of space through the construction of diagrams, maps, and models.

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….

The designed structure is a RCC built covered in a composition of a dry stone cladding juxtaposed with a specially designed unitised glazing system incorporating pre-fab tessalated aluminium-glass panels. The fixing detail here explores use of interlocking mechanism using specially designed aluminium sections and MS brackets. Further the canopy continues the use of these tessalated panels and protrudes out as a part of the glazing itself. It is supported using steel beams and tension cables. The electrical and acoustical details are designed keeping in mind the ease of execution. Club House for a Residential Complex 4
