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.

Shruti Barve : : : : : : : : : : : The process started with analyzing the existing site factors of the Byculla zoo like , limited legibility or approach to the spaces due to which directional circulation and direct approach leads to quick movements to the zoo part . It restricts users to museum and plaza space due to directional movement and less legibility to the structure other than the central part. It loses the heritage value it had and now creates a very conjusted entrance and there are no transition spaces which creates the entry mark , publicness is not visible and not legible. Due to very less publicness restricted to a particular area , the footprint around the site is not spread out on the site always , but has occasional footprints around the site. So this design proposal creates the major guiding axis on the site according to movement patterns , spread of activities on the site to its maximum potential , incorporating the change of levels according to functions and experiential qualities. This design proposal aims to retain the maximum existing trees on the site as well. Retaining Nature

Improved water supply and sanitation, and better management of water resources. Thus water supply is an important part of Building services. There is a residential building or we can say house. House has over head tank as well as borewell whose water is used for flushing purpose. And the water that comes from AMC(Amravati Municipal Corporation) through underground pipelines to a tap is stored in Kothis or Matka or Utensils. A water meter is attached to this pipeline and accordingly bills per month has to be paid. There are 8 members in the family. And after calculation and real life dimension ,the consumption of family members is 1080Liters per day in all activities. Documenting water supply of own house 1

Shekoba Sanap : : : : : : : : : : : One of the world’s leading entertainment companies has taken a policy decision to incorporate a unique operational model. With the world becoming more E-communication reliant and deriving operational efficiency with the connectivity advantage, the company decided to set up mini studio-cum-administration/corporate complexes in different districts worldwide in unique locations. These locations were selected based on accessibility to a town/settlement for easy commute while enjoying the bounty & freshness of exotic regions. These locations offer a creative value to the performance of their employees and contracting partners. The land is also reasonably priced compared to the urban skyrocketing prices. The concept, the Heart, functions exactly like the Human Heart. It has a network of ventricle-like alleys and central atriums that help pump in the fresh breeze and light and aid circulation. It has service cores at its heart to ease the logistics and circulation, branching into several pathways opening to the sky that maintains the health of the complex. Altering the facade lines to create alleys also helps create voids that can capture and house generous amounts of light without obstructing the wind flow.

Rohit Karekar, Ar. Pranay Bhavsar, Ar. K.V.Parmeshwar : : : : : : : : : : : The Project puts forward a challenge of detailing a shell (originally a masonry vault) in Structural Steel. This material opens up a broad range of design choices and exploration with the structural systems. The structure rests on a foundation which consists of abutments for the shell and isolated footings of the stanchions interconnected to form a strong resilient foundation. The Columns are placed in such a way that with beams it facilitates the making of the flowy mezzanine. The shell has structural members from edge lamella to primary, secondary forming a square grid. The alternate roofing of G.F.R.C. panels and glass panels flood the space with light and create a transcedental space quality. The staircase takes advantage of rolled steel sections to create a curved cantilevered staircase connecting the levels. The Project also explores Urine Diverting Dry Toilets across Two levels and resolves the waste management and segregation. The byproducts are used in the farms on the site itself. The roof drainage is catered to with a rain water collection puddles which harvest water and take it to the harvesting tank. Thus the structural technology creates an iconic image for the school at the same time generates products beneficial to the school. Undulating Envelope

Saurabh Mhatre, Ar. Harshada Shintre : : : : : : : : : : : This studio addresses the Geometric nature of the world around us and takes radical steps to help identify the same. These inferences are then decoded in a drawing format to generate a critical conversation governing the visual language all around us. I explored certain grid patterns and tried to create a hybrid from those 'generating complex' patterns. Thus, we were introduced to a set of 3 illustrations that each focus on the technical (figure building), spatial (landscape), and social (occupational event) aspects of spaces. I selected the Hejduk Diamond Museum for the figure building, Neue National Gallery as the landscape element, and Ice Hockey as the occupational event. Resonating these three aspects along with the hybrid grid generated, I juxtaposed all four elements to finally ideate on a representational medium that captures this particular GRIDSCAPE.

Shekoba Sanap : : : : : : : : : : : The brief and the site both were very nature-centric, hence it became necessary to create a link between humans and nature through a built form that will benefit both, rather than cause harm to one another. So digging deeper into this came an understanding that nothing in nature comes directly into existence rather it grows and evolves through time. A similar process is observed in humans as well. Thus the project aimed at creating a platform for the symbiotic development or GROWTH of both humans and nature. Furthermore, various categories of growth were listed down including – physical growth, spiritual, regenerative, supplementary, communal, and environmental growth. While zoning of activities, the communal growth with the community included spaces such as amphitheater and workshop area and spiritual growth where the focus is on oneself with activities like yoga, meditation and camping form the main link while others root out of this. The build includes a sleeping area, rainwater harvesting, and solar energy where natural sources are replenished. The form designed aids in the aim of sustainability, so the roof is designed to respond to factors such as sun shading, ventilation, rainwater harvesting, etc. All the materials are locally sourced making them economically viable. The structural layers have brick walls with bamboo columns connected to the wall or supporting the rafters with the bamboo network that hold the shingles in places.

Venkat Ashok, Ar. Pradeep Pavithran : : : : : : : : : : : Colonists set up farms where lawful citizens had only one job of producing. The city had a high crime rate, and slavery was prevalent. The people of Mos Eisley were poor and had poor living conditions with negligible healthcare facilities. Although the movie showcases the advancements in technology, the lifestyle of the inhabitants was very laid back. The dwellings were mostly clay and gypsum. The challenges while designing spaces include the harsh climate of Tatooine, traditional construction methods, incorporating different scales according to the program and interventions. The core themes of the project were Gestalt's Principles of Perception, creating and exploring ambiguity between figure and ground, solid and void, novelty and history, and curiosity and recognition. An exploration in mass and void allows various levels of enclosure, openness, recognition and blending habitable and interstitial spaces creating a certain sense of transparency to improvise constructive interaction between different species living together. Varying psychologies result in respective space planning and spatial behaviours. Decoding and incorporating them with addition and subtraction in volume according to program and functionality resulted in interesting form modulations. THE INTENT: This project allowed the people of Tatooine to sell products like farm produce or spare parts of machines and robots, hence giving them a source of income. Since slavery is prevalent in the city, slave quarters have been provided with workshop areas to provide a means of living and sell their machine alternate slaves (robots) to the owner and get their freedom.
