Parameshar kartikap19@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. CONVENTIONAL SOURCES OF ELECTRICITY Conventional Sources of Energy are also known as non-renewable sources of energy and are available in limited quantities. These non-renewable sources of energy are the decaying matters, which take over hundreds of years to form, for example, coal, petroleum, etc. So, if they are depleted once, they can never be generated at a speed or pace, which could sustain their rate of consumption. NON-CONVENTIONAL/RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ELECTRICITY These are replenished by natural processes, that too continuously. The non-conventional sources of energy can’t be exhausted easily and can be generated at a constant rate for their use over and over again. Furthermore, these energy sources do not pollute the environment and natural surroundings and require less expenditure. A few examples of non-conventional sources of energy include wind energy, tidal energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, and biomass energy. The reason why they are also called renewable sources of energy lies in the fact that they can be produced or generated through natural processes, at a rate greater than or equal to the rate of their consumption.

Thorough climatic analysis, with study of wind, rain, sun and heat patterns were considered to make design interventions. A dedicated courtyard space in the central zone and periphery of the living room has been proposed, that ushers fresh air circulation throughout the building and indoor plantations of a specific type that absorb moisture and control humidity. ( palms,orchids,spider plant, cactus, aloe vera). Natural materials such as brick, bamboo and stone have been incorporated with glass to merge with existing context. A brick jali has been utilized, for a dual purpose of providing ventilation as well privacy, as well. Residential Co-Living Facility In Antananarivo, Madagascar

Teja Gavankar : : : : : : : : : : : The exercise involved studying the relationship between the human body and its movement in space. That is understanding how space shapes our movement and how movement, in turn, affects space. The Renaissance painting here is of St. Augustine, which was recreated to record the movement of the body in space. This was further analyzed through a set of technical drawings, which helped understand the anthropometry of the human body. The angle of vision at which the person in the painting is viewing, the required distance of the body from the table, and standard measurements of the furniture around it with respect to the movement of the body were studied and recorded. Further, these body postures were perceived as an interaction with the cityscape in the modern-day era. Scenarios like a doctor in his cabin, a watchman seated by the gate, a commuter waiting for the train, a person by the balcony enjoying a cup of tea, a student working on the laptop, or a person taking shelter from the rain were some examples. The drawings of Philip Steadman were used as a reference to create these drawings. Previous Next Body And Movement In Space 1

Narrative: The design aims at offering a spatial experience to the clients and a creative work environment for the designers while also acting as a perfect hub for cultural exchange in the form of exhibitions, art festivals, and recreational space for the surrounding commercial hub and IT offices. A studio is like a home to a designer hence in our design we have treated the container like micro-living units. We wanted to restore Baner’s status as an agricultural city amidst the rapidly growing concrete jungle by incorporating botany such that it becomes a part of their daily routine and calms their senses at the same time. The intent was to create a flexible work environment that provides interaction among the designers in every part of the studio. The different spaces are tailored around a central courtyard which acts as a workspace full of natural atmosphere and flexibility. The journey of the client through the studio also revolves around this courtyard which is represented as a Storyboard. A Storyboard is a collection of cells that each depicts an image and together narrate a journey. Creating storyboards helps developers to think through a process in a step-by-step manner allowing them to design streamlined user experience. Likewise, while understanding the work culture, we also wanted the clients to be a part of this journey of developing a product right from the first stage to the final prototype.

Omkar Nandlaskar : : : : : : : : : : : Behind the mask of Urban development are hidden the growing concerns that stem from this urbanization. The Mithi river of Mumbai, that flows from the BKC-Dharavi region, is the most recent victim of this urbanization. This 18 Km long river is the dividing line between the unequal densities of commercial and residential fabrics. For generations, communities and occupations were thriving at the banks of the Mithi river but since the early 1980s, the nature of the river has taken a turn for the worse. Over the transects, multiple solutions have been provided to ease the difficulties of the river and the communities that dwell around it. The interventions in the targeted areas have been designed in a way that : 1. Help the river to swell 2. Add green spaces to the otherwise dull land-water edge 3. Defines the land-water edge and not allow the slum to spillover in the river. 4. Sensitizing the communities so that they keep the river clean. Over 350 years, the Mithi river has been a prey to our reckless treatment of natural resources. The river suffers, not alone and the outcome of this suffering can be seen in the vicinity of the river. This research and the associated proposals highlight the need to provide a breathing space for the river. The Future is NOW. Symbiosis, A Study Of The Mithi’s Edges

Narrative: The city of Jaipur is known for its architecture, which is dominated by the Indian Vastu ideologies. In response to the brief, we designed a coworking and co-living space that provides guests with both a modern and traditional Jaipur stay. The construction is designed in such a way that the exterior will fascinate the Jaipuri sandstone jali look, while the interior will offer the individual a nice, warm, homely feeling through the use of modern interior design and homely internal décor of the dorms, 2 bhks, and loft apartments. We designed the structure with passive cooling measures in mind, and we included a wind tower as a natural venting agent. All of the spaces were designed with the Vastu and Jaipur regulations in mind. The outward appearance is simple yet Jaipuri; the use of graffiti on the outer facade symbolizes a free-spirited lifestyle with no restrictions, resulting in joyous behavior. Simple but enthralling!!

This designed house, ‘THE HOUSE OF CURVES’, is a structural framework of curves amalgamating into one another. The compositional approach chosen is 'Tight Cluster Units'. The transition into the house is choreographed to be in a curved fashion and is open to the sky so that the user can experience the landscape around. This curved path also instigates intrigue within the setup. Such intrigue is also seen through the helical staircase which is closed from one side and open on the other. On the first floor, the user has to walk through a ramp to reach rooms that have glass roofs. The user can see the landscape through that roof while walking and hence is allowed to experience nature.

The mobile phone contains few individual parts namely an antenna, LCD, keyboard, microphone, speaker, battery and most important circuit board. Hearing all this sounds very fancy but there is also a darker side to this. To find the material required for the parts the mobile phone companies involve a malpractice of child labor at various mines, one of them being the cobalt mines in Congo and only give the labourers subsistence wages for their work. The material required for the phone is sourced from all over the world. After the use of phone for a certain year the phone is recycled to a certain extent. The companies sent the metal part to the Melter melts the metals; precious metals are recovered while the other metals are burnt which led to carbon emission.

The Faroe Islands' Netflix corporate den must transform the meaning of work for its employees by enabling new architectural identities, changing workspace attributes, a collaborative atmosphere, and offering opportunities for socio-cultural exchange. 'The Faroe frame' takes a twofold approach to be an Icon, paying homage to the Faroe region's socio-physical characteristics in every dimension conceivable, whether through the "Form that frames," the "Facade that reflects," the "Podium that connects," or the "Bridge that invites". Internally, the architecture takes inspiration from the geology of the Faroe Islands itself to create a space that flows like a continuous landscape at various levels, connected by intermittent bridges and staircases, with multi-level atriums and stepped spaces that create a sense of dynamism and community in the users.
