Shruti Barve : : : : : : : : : : : Onto a picturesque scene of National Park far away from the concrete jungle of Mumbai rests a unique relic sacred to the ecosystem of the elements. This relic itself holds up to be a fine manifestation of movement of slope, terrain, scale, vegetation, light quality, perception of sky with negligible human intervention. All this culminates to experience the walk-through holistically. An essential aspect that separates this path from any other path is the amalgamation of various natural and living elements. It encourages oneself to explore the translation of the growth and decay patterns, transition of color, light and masses while associating it with mapping across the forth dimension of time thereby forming a magnificent composition in harmony. The inter – relationship between the elements, their patterns, this transition and its history culminates into many spatial identities while cutting along the fresh waters of Dahisar River.

Pranay Bhavsar : : : : : : : : : : : The project aimed at designing a clubhouse for a residential complex with the main idea being to create an interesting facade with the use of Curtain Glazing and Cladding of our choice. The approach to the design is such that the users have enough space to relax with their friends and family while providing the necessary space requirements as per the brief. The use of Fiber Cement Board (FCB) for cladding along with Unitised Curtain Glazing system gives the overall facade an elegant look. A steel and Glass canopy at the entrance shades the porch area. Use of Double Glazed units combats unwanted heat to come inside while providing a visual penetrability. Each space is designed according to the service requirement. The auditorium is designed keeping in mind the acoustical considerations of walls, floors, etc., while the party hall is kept as a double height space with the necessary lighting. The detailed portfolio consists of all the technical details for the designed Clubhouse as learned from Building Construction and Services. Club House for a Residential Complex 3

Pueblo Architecture is the traditional architecture practiced by the people of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The climate of this region can be classified as arid with low precipitation and abundant sunshine, low relative humidity, and a relatively large annual and diurnal temperature range. Characteristics of Pueblo architecture include large multi-level buildings, numerous contiguous rooms (rooms that touch one another or share a boundary wall), terraced design, and open-air plazas. Traditional Pueblo architectural design did not include doors, and in traditional buildings, each level was accessible by exterior and interior rooftop ladders. Contemporary Pueblo villages incorporate modern architectural elements and infrastructure (such as electricity, plumbing, glass windows, and exterior doors). There are many striking features which make it habitable in extreme climates. High thermal mass, the choice of material, south facing windows, high air vents, flat roofs, rooftop plantation, staggered form and good ventilation allowed the structure to remain cool in the high temperatures. The houses are truly ingenious with an exemplary understanding of climate and technology. Pueblo Architecture

The central open space thus connects the different classes of the society under one roof to increase the interaction and create new experiences for the upcoming new actors by reviewing their daily life experiences . Thus this space informally becomes a huge canvas for the upcoming actors to see , to think , to improve themselves and become a person of experience in an informal way . Along the way , it also creates a series of interactive landscape elements and various gathering points on the entire site and the most important the play of shadows creating the timeline of different activities being captured into the space which shows the ever changing nature of the activities .

Amey Mhatre : : : : : : : : : : : This was our final project of the first year and thus one of the most important. This project challenged and tested our knowledge which we gained through the course of the year. First, we were introduced to a bunch of diverse artists and their works. We had an extensive one-to-one session with them where we interacted and tried to understand their ideologies and what goes on in their mind when they make their art. The artist assigned to me was Teja Gavankar for whom I had to design a studio space. A lot of process and research was involved which helped me come to my final design. First, we had to do a thorough research on our artist and understand their art. Next, we had to diagrammatically represent their works by giving it a spatial quality. Next, we had to start exploring those diagrams by converting them into forms and spaces which eventually lead to the final design. This design project demanded a lot of thought and implementation of all our previous exercises. Previous Next Intersecting Spaces

The reverberation time for the classroom is around that of 1 second so accordingly the materials were selected which are fibreboard panels and gypsum boards. Even the lighting elements were a factor which was considered while designing. The acoustic ceiling is made up of moulded gypsum panels and suspended acoustic tiles which were designed keeping in mind the seating of the 40 students inside the classroom . The calculation of absorption sabines according to the conditions were also done in relation to the materials and furniture. Reverb hall
