In reality, it can be the new revolution in recycling. It is rich in nitrogen and other minerals which can produce plant fertilizers. It is also an excellent absorber of oil and is currently used as a safe alternative to cleaning oil spills in the ocean, but is yet to expand to a large scale. If we are mindful of this material, we can substantially harness its hidden benefits and utilize it for humanity’s sustenance. Hair Recycle Management Program

And to understand the strengths, weaknesses and failure of using such a material. Also we try to understand how the material along with technology has allowed us to move from the conventional forms to more advanced forms, through examples and the described exercise. We were able to design 2 types of structures. One which showcased verticality and the other compression. The said designs were then identified for reinforcement patterns and then a mould created to pour the concrete and place said reinforcement wherever necessary. The final outcome, showcases the shortcomings, when adequate amount of reinforcement is not provided, due to which the structure would have fracture points. Hence, it is imperative to make sure, the correct proportion and grade of concrete is mixed with reinforcement, to make sure the desired form is achieved.

Amit Jain : : : : : : : : : : : In this studio, we were to design a house for our family on a site near Vihar lake in Mumbai. We began by doing the site analysis, then we tried to analyse our family character and found some keywords that was best suited. Then we converted these keywords into spatial diagrams, which were further developed to create different forms. After which we finalised the form and the materials. At this stage we looked at different ways to represent our drawings. Simultaneously we were designing the interior spaces for the living area and the eating area. The final out come was a family house that makes you feel secure and at peace. It compels you to connect with the surroundings and experience it thoroughly even before you reach the vicinity of the house itself. Previous Next The Flourishing House

Through personal interaction with the ball, we figured out how the material of the ball reacted with the hands of the user while playing, the surface of the ground, net, shoes, etc. analyzing the failure of material and its response with respect to climate, ground, equipment, etc. Understanding the role of the ball in the sports, different types of balls according to material and conditions and its manufacturing process were studied. All the study was represented by sketches, drawings and graphics. Volley Ball

Saurabh Mhatre, Ar. Harshada Shintre : : : : : : : : : : : The exercise motivated on studying interesting grid patterns, and articulating Hybridized grids while getting inspired from the principles of the source grids as an initial step. The exercise culminated by deriving the final grid from one of the Hybrid grids and three other listed grids. The process commenced with identifying elements or shapes (line, dots, circle, semi-circle, square) operations and characteristic features of each of the three selected grids including rotation (clockwise or anti-clockwise, bisection, intersection, rhythmic spacing between elements, union, continuity, repetition). This was further processed as reciprocation of varied combinations to come up with three unique grid systems referred to as Hybrid Grids. One of the hybrid grids were selected and paired with three sets of grids- Figure Building, Landscape field, Occupation Event. While segregating the components of all three sets, final drawing of grid was composed as an amalgamation of all four grids. Previous Next Taxonomy Of Grids 5

Interaction and Activity in a natural environment is the key focus of the competition. Narrative: The proposed design intervention at the Academy’s Amphitheatre aims to enhance the quality of space, student-faculty interaction, and at the same time provide a soothing space for all. The current issues existing in the amphitheater are the lack of seating spaces and the deterioration of the overall quality due to lack of maintenance and some spaces being used for dumping or storage of unwanted materials/objects. The initial thought was to redesign the seating around the tree which has been an integral part of the institution’s history. The new proposed seating is expanded a bit radially and notches have been made to accommodate more people to sit. The plinth is designed as free flowing space which is symbolic to liberal and free minds of the students. This space will allow for more interaction between the students and faculty at the time of lectures or discussions.The proposed canopy over the plinth is to provide a shade so that it can be used throughout the day.The canopy is to be made from paper tubes coated with wax which are supported by a steel frame.

Sulakshana Bhanushali, Ar. Nitesh Avhad : : : : : : : : : : : Understanding the acoustic needs of the spaces , first the levels have been raised as we move away from the board for a clearer sight and view and better hearing levels at each point . The arrangement of the students is done in compact seating to minimize the distance by providing the advantage of reduced volume and increasing the acoustic experience of the room along with the recessed false ceiling. Thus at the end of the room , the buffer space acts as a barrier during the lectures due to window curtains , furniture and creates a buffer space . The side walls are having the absorption values so that the reverberation of the sound does not take place. The front wall of the room has a reflective surface so that the sound can reflect and travel to the maximum distance while the ceiling has both reflection and absorption values to balance out the acoustic standards of the room. Thus from reflection to absorption, different materials are used across the room to create an acoustically good room . 8mm acoustic panels are suspended from the ceiling through hanger wire and attached to the metal grid and are also cladded to the walls on the wooden battens .

Rohit Karekar ameyat19@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : : : We often complain about the waste around us But, do we put in efforts to make a change? The narrative starts with the government making a rule of not collecting decomposable waste from the societies. This automatically forces the societies to develop their waste management mechanism and curate byproducts functional and self-sufficient to them. This would reduce the tremendous load on the existing system. The proposal further discusses tripartite and quadra-partite dustbins, toilets open to the public managed by individual societies, biogas domes, etc. it attempts to bring a shift in the attitude of the privileged and the ignorance of the unprivileged. Monthly fests, markets, and subsidies by the government would play a key element in putting this proposal in place. Self Sufficient Selves

Amey Mhatre : : : : : : : : : : : This project required designing a studio space for Sajeev Visweswaran, an artist. This project helped to study artists' space requirements and their works.Exploring the form of the space with an understanding of the structure, envelope, act, organization, material, and location all based on the various aspects involved in the art and the life of the protagonist. 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. Hence the idea was to create a space that closely represented the artist as well as fulfilled the purpose it was made for. Keeping in touch with his ideologies, the space came to represent a form that is simple- one that is rooted to its surroundings just like the artist it was meant to represent. A space with strong visual connections allowing one to be secluded and connected at the same time. A form that has unity and variety in its orientation and made of materials derived from his vernacular Indian background. Previous Next The Artist Retreat
