Through this research process, we began to understand how space could adapt to the movement of the human body, respond to it, allow it to happen, but not force it, defining the relationship between the body and its movement in space. We began our investigation by studying various medieval & renaissance paintings and utilizing their diverse scenarios for the focus of our inquiry. We then re-create/enact and record various movements of the body in space and analyze them through chronophotography, which formed the basis to study and understand the structural and constituent elements of each movement. This methodology allowed to focus on qualitative and quantitative data, which can be further analyzed through technical drawings. We used these understandings to identify the activities related to these postures. Previous Next Body And Movement In Space 4

Both the firms believe in research and coming up with new innovative ideas. Not only for the projects but self research and proposing the same to the government and private organizations. Not just landscape but these firms take up a variety of projects like infrastructure, restoration of historical sites and many more but yes still giving these some ecological values. HNS architects believe in a culture of collaboration where they work together with people from different fields and thus not restricting the team to their firm only. Akshay kaul is also believed to work with new people in almost every project and not having a particular team for better results and innovative designs. Sustainability and water management is the main part of each project and solutions through landscape meaning as seen in the two projects where an unused quarry site and the sound reduction problem were addressed through a landscape design. Lastly, we can see despite being two firms based in different countries and context we find similarities in the way they function Case Study HNS ARCHITECTS and AKSHAY KAUL

Rishi Vora, Ar. Mehul Sanghvi : : : : : : : : : : : The site is situated at Goregaon (East) near film city. The Basti adjacent to the plot gives us a sense of community living or people having similar expectations from the society coming together to enhance this experience of living. The Basti and the IGIDR campus on the site are two examples where people having similar aspirations come together to live in a community. They live together and share their experiences, joy, sorrow, etc. Units come together to form space and the space enhances the experience of co-living. The units are either stacked, interlocked, or arranged in a way that maximizes interaction. Even during ancient times, the hunters would come together because they had some similar goals, and working in a group would provide them security and efficiency. They would form small groups and live together and this would suffice their needs as a community. They would build tents, houses and shelters such that it could enhance their interaction and workrate and help communicate better together. A similar concept is seen in the Basti. A sense of oneness, togetherness, and security is achieved through this! Previous Next Adaptable Units

The case study provided us the opportunity to study the typologies of structures present in Cappadocia. These are rock-cut buildings that are heavily influenced by climatic, geographical, historical, and political conditions. The rock-cut architecture of Cappadocia is mainly divided into two parts - cave houses and Underground cities. The cave houses include fairy chimneys, churches, and cliff cities. The caved houses are naturally-formed rock structures and are a result of a geological process that began millions of years ago. They were later carved into homes and temples by humans. They included a network of handmade caves and tunnels which could be used for homes, churches, temples, refuges, etc. Whereas the Underground cities are a series of interlinked subterranean spaces which were carved to provide a defensive refuge, a place for living, working, storage, etc. They were designed for protection against attacks. Various defensive strategies could be understood via the architecture and planning of the Underground cites. Cappadocia

Shruti Barve : : : : : : : : : : : LANDSCAPE AS ARTIFACT Nature provides a stage to be in coherence with other elements surrounding it, considering human intervention the romanticizing inherent property of nature is depleted. Jaisalmer in the desert depicts impeccable forms and visual compositions which are harmonious. The repetition in the streets and the outstanding fort as a symbol of power in rhythm with the elevation and sequential daylight converting it into a mirage back and forth builds up an interesting artefact on the richness of the surface LANDSCAPE AS HABITAT Habitat is a homogenous living cycle of flora, fauna and humans. The settlement is ever changing due to human activities and forces of nature of wind, light and precipitation which aid in choosing the apt location of living and growing. This land transformation due to the forces developed two man made habitats in the location-rural & fort which work in coordination according to the requirement and in presence of the desert habitat which has least human intervention is largely independent and is more dynamic in nature due to its entity. LANDSCAPE AS NATURE The pristine elements of nature envisioning one towards the limitless desert edge, calm and controlled clear sky where the wind ravages often and gusts the land as storms. This dynamic interface between elements enhances it to the fullest. The harmony between these develops various kinds of textural patterns being a backdrop for the ground. With prime yellow base splashes of green vegetation enhances the typology and determines the coexistence of all elements. Jaisalmer

Amey Mhatre : : : : : : : : : : : This project required designing a studio space for Amol Patil, an artist. This project helped to study artists' space requirements and their works. The studio has different allocated spaces according to the artist's needs, for instance, Sculpting-space, Exhibition space, Area for dusting and washing of materials, Storage space and space for making drawings. These spaces were derived based on the artist's works. The process followed to develop the design was to extract 2D and 3D diagrams from his works and convert them to meaningful spaces, which finally became a design. This project helped me to understand how to balance opaque elements with lighter ones. The curves and planes in the layout were solid walls. The addition of linear objects balanced the design by creating comfortable spaces. Previous Next Grid Studio

Shruti Barve : : : : : : : : : : : The intent of the project was to revamp an already existing public space and to question what exactly defines a public space? Is it the porosity, is it the accessibility or is it the sense of security that successfully defines a public space? By forming our own lenses and by studying the context thoroughly well, the design was formulated. Public spaces are a break in the city, they are congregational points within the city that enhance communication and interaction within the community. Ranibaug is one such public space in the city that has a monumental value, a history attached to it, and is of educational and recreational relevance but there were some issues that didn’t make it as accessible as a public space should be and so an attempt has been made to provide an alternative to the already existing site. Designing a space majorly using the softscape and thus creating a very accessible public space were some of the principle aspects considered at the early stages of design. Merge & Redefine

Sanjay Mehta : Studio Conductors : : : Video Links : Life started in water and developed around it. The daily need of water for drinking, irrigation, cleaning, etc triggered the development of clusters around its source. In the Indian setting, people associated water with god. It is observed that almost every temple and religious structure is located near water, even the water infrastructure had Idols so that people would consider them auspicious and will give significance to the asset. The development and inventions permitted people to control and twist the assets according to their need. Water was no exception, people began to gather, transport, extract water as per their demands. In an attempt to fulfill their needs, society neglected the indigenous systems leading to the water crisis. The dissertation attempts to understand traditional water systems and how they used to be a part of the community and ecology simultaneously. To understand how the ecology of the place can be restored with the revival of traditional water infrastructures, the program is designed to explain the community about the significance of water conservation and harvesting, and inspire them to take a step towards ecological conservation. This dissertation is an endeavor at the rebuilding of the ecological imbalance using traditional water management techniques for the upliftment of the society and an attempt to prevent the loss of the unique identity of the place.
