Narrative: Mumbai, a city of seven islands, is one of the biggest cities of India and is also the financial and entertainment capital of the country. Post-independence, these industries attracted people from all over the country in search of jobs. Flash floods/ seasonal floods trouble the city almost every year. This leaves many vulnerable populations without shelter and food. Thus, students from Rachana Sansad's academy of architecture propose a solution by identifying possible sites and campuses and redesigning them for better disaster management of the city. Our team has partnered with the BMC G- South Ward office of Mumbai to identify these vulnerable settlements and populations and provide adequate facilities in times of disasters. By using shipping containers, the design offers a rapid construction time frame and better structural resilience. Vihaan with the way it has been designed, is an efficient solution to absorb panicked people in difficult times, calm them down and accommodate them making them feel as if it's their home.

To this Sonam Wangchuk an Engineer and an Innovator came up with the idea of an Ice Stupa. A form of glacier grafting technique that creates artificial glaciers, used for storing winter water which would go rather waste in the form of conical heaps. Water in winters starts to freeze in a conical shape and feed the farms when the water is most needed by the farmers. What is Ice Stupa?

These were drafted so as to understand their technical aspects. The first half of the drawings involved studying brick bonds used in buildings, brick foundations, various types of arches and lintels in brick. The second half involved initially being introduced to framing, widening and lengthening joineries that are used to join two wooden members and then studying elements like floor, roof, staircase, doors and windows in timber wood.

Teja Gavankar : : : : : : : : : : : The exercise involved analysis of the human body and its movement in space. It helped to understand how the human body is related to the surrounding environment and how space has been formed accordingly. The Renaissance painting, School Of Athens, was analyzed to study human body anthropometry in a space created in a painting through a few technical drawings. Further, these human body proportions and postures were related to the cityscape and activities similar to that posture. Scenarios like a person reading a book in a room, the delivery person asking for an address, people doing window shopping, people asking for a ball, the person falling while cleaning a room were some examples. This helped to understand space and its interaction with the human body. The drawings of Philip Steadman were used as a reference to create these drawings. Previous Next Body And Movement In Space 3

Disgusting visuals, irk-some odour, and long queues are the scenarios associated with toilets in a developing nation like India. This studio engaged students to study and resolve these areas of concern involving ease of accessibility of a public toilet at urban, rural and transit levels by generic discussion and understanding limitations.

Archaeologist’s routine sparked with action, This Filled jack with desperation, They could be linked in a common endeavour, But both of them were never seen together. So, Jack and Jill went up the hill, To fetch a pail of water, Secrets were revealed by his will, But shocked, Jill came tumbling after. Jack fell down and broke his crown, Said Jack herself without a frown, The crown matched with the archaeologist without struggle, Like a piece of jigsaw puzzle.

Saurabh Mhatre, Ar. Juhi Prasad : : : : : : : : : : : We began by using the architectural outcomes of our previous AD studio. After being assigned architect Enric Miralles, I chose one of his drawings and analyzed it. It was the floor plan of one of his apartments in Spain. I tried to understand the fundamentals of the drawing. The plan was made layer by layer on tracing sheets and, I followed the same steps to create my floor plan. I separated the drawing elements and combined them to form one complete drawing. The process of deconstructing a drawing made me look at various elements and the appropriate method of representation for the same. The outcome was the same floorplan that I began with but in Enric Miralles’s language. Previous Next Drawing In Conversation 3

We became conscious of our usage of plastic and other products that are harmful to the environment. The product that was selected for our group was Pitambari, a very famous shining powder for cleaning utensils. We researched about its chemical contents. These contents were studied individually based on their location, manufacture, benefits, and harmful effects. To understand the actual cost of pitambari we decoded the cost extraction of raw materials, manufacturing process, packing, transportation. Finally, the primary and secondary user group was considered. The poster depicts the entire journey of one pitambari powder right from the extraction of raw materials to its disposal. It covers important aspects like its founders, users, different available forms, usage method, and benefits. The central graphic of a lady with 6 hands represents a woman doing multiple tasks quickly and efficiently. Similarly, one pitambari powder is used to clean multiple household things such as metal idols, diyas, steel, copper, brass, iron, silver, aluminum utensils. Pitambari

Narrative: Bees, with their short, choppy wing strokes, maneuver in their (work)space with the help of predetermined motion flows which they correlate with the current patterns. They pinpoint visual and physical landmarks along their path, camouflaged for others. These landmarks are categorized according to the edge conditions, colours and textures. Spatial configuration and experience along with visual textures are the features that bees memorize, for their efficient navigational performance. The illustration talks about the dynamic and structured flow of the bees according to the spatial syntax and experience. The place-markers identified at different locations are diverse in terms of textures, patterns and edge conditions and are allied by the camouflaged dynamic movement patterns of the bees in varied dimensions. The flow of the modular pattern in the illustration resembles the structured and definitive flow of a bee house. And the free flowing form relates to their movement in the world outside. Humans maneuver in a similar way as that of bees, thus distinguishing their fluidity from rigid modular designs to parametric curves.
