Narrative: Design-a-muse competition is aimed at visualising an abstract art as a three-dimensional form. It began from understanding a 20th century abstract art style, choosing any one artform from it and extruding its essence in a structure. Suprelion is a public installation inspired by the Suprematist painting ‘The 18th Construction’. Emotions are evoked by colours and textures- this is the principle used in suprematism and thus the painting selected. Each part of the installation invokes a distinct feeling when approached visually or physically. These feelings are inspired from the components in the painting. ‘The 18th construction‘ is a completely abstract painting that is open for interpretation while following the principles.

For Tschumi, Parc de la Villette was not meant to be a picturesque park reminiscent of centuries past; it was more of an open expanse that was meant to be explored and discovered by those that visited the site. Tschumi wanted the park to be a space for activity and interaction that would evoke a sense of freedom within a superimposed organization that would give the visitors points of reference. Parc de la Villette is designed with three principles of organization which Tschumi classifies as points, lines, and surfaces. The 135 acre site is organized spatially through a grid of 35 points, or what Tschumi calls follies. The series of follies give a dimensional and organizational quality to the park serving as points of reference. The repetitive nature of each folly, even though each one is unique and different, allow for the visitors to retain a sense of place through the large park. Parc De La Villette

The grassland biomes cover more than 20% of the earth’s surface. The grass is their dominant natural vegetation, it is a terrestrial biome that features vast open spaces consisting of scattered small shrubs and trees. The majority of grasslands are located in tropical developing countries where they are particularly important to the livelihoods of some one billion poor people. Grasslands provide important services and roles including water catchments, biodiversity reserves, cultural and recreational needs, and potentially a carbon sink to alleviate greenhouse gas emissions. Ponds are under heterogeneous wetland typology Shallow, open-water wetlands are known locally by names such as ponds. A pond is a small area of still, freshwater. These small bodies of surface water, are less than about 7 ft in-depth and free of emergent plants, but often have floating-leaved vegetation. These wetlands and their fringing marshes can support relatively large populations of waterfowl, amphibians, and other animals. We studied and illustrated these landscape typologies through the lenses of Grain plan, textural quality, color palette, sky plane and light, associated fauna, how the landscape is perceived, and what kind of sense of enclosure it creates.

Narrative: The vision of creating a machine like system which works like a factory to heal the patients is the idea of the project. Rethinking about the healthcare infrastructure is of the utmost need of the time, because of the collapse which India especially Mumbai has seen due to the outbreak of the coronavirus is unimaginable. The idea of creating control over movement and sequences of patients in cooperation with infrastructure development is the need of healthcare architecture. There has to be some initiative which ponders upon the idea of sustaining any kind of pandemic catering to huge amount of patients which can only be achieved through the system of proper control and expansions with a strong backup. Sticking to the basics of factories' process of manufacturing, packaging and delivering; one with this monotonous routine can have a clear idea of connections with no loopholes for any sabotage or out-break. The tree like planning governs an upper hand over the existing rhizomatic planning for better connections and proper safety of care takers. We strongly believe that steel as a material would act as a catalyst in this process of creating fast, simple and a basic design.

Narrative: The proposal of the Bungalow was conceptualized for a couple in their 50’s. Before the pandemic, they were living in their apartment in the city of Chennai. Up until their 50’s, they have experienced a hectic urban life. During the pandemic as they shift to work from home mode and a few years are left for their retirement so they decide to move to Pondicherry.The proposed design tries to incorporate spirituality in the spaces so as to enhance their post-urban city life. The planning is based on the traditional Indian courtyard house. The only difference being is that an open plan is adapted so as to have transparency between spaces. The design proposal has an RCC framed structure with filler slab – clay pot technology. The walls of the house are made from CSEB (Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks). This ensures a tranquil sense in spaces. The scale of the spaces; light; exposed materials; open plan and interior elements are used to ensure a sense of spirituality throughout the spaces. The main intent is to make the user adapt to large spaces; tranquility and spirituality as opposed to small apartments so as to enhance the post retirement experience.

Prerna Thakar rohan19@aoamumbai.in prathamesh19@aoamumbai.in : : : : : : : : : Before starting with form exploration we analyzed the climate of the region in various aspects. After that we came up with a few conclusions such as preventing heating of space during summer months, allowing winter sun to enter the space , disallowance of direct sunlight into the house by making the house completely self shaded. Using cantilevers and trees for blocking hot winds were other design solutions. After this we came up with a few strategies which will serve as a passive characteristic to our design. The principles which we used in our design were maximum insulation, airtight construction, Rational use of the sun, comfort ventilation and stack effect. We also incorporated a design system of installing thermal water tubes in our design which absorbs and stores the sunlight in daytime and gives off heat energy during night. We then selected the materials , for wall construction we provided Autoclaved Aerated Blocks which provide insulation from harsh sunlight and also withstands the cold wind. Timber roofs were used to reduce the thermal bridge between interior and exterior. Newman, Australia

But it shocked me more when i heard Jack say "It was the priest, I didn't take a dime." My betrayed soul stumbled upon a rock, And rolled it down with the strength I did gather. Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after. Carefully stepping down I heard Jack's moans, Which led me towards the poisonous lake Fed him that death dealing water 'cause Oh lord! It was for this blind man's sake! Rolled him in the lake after scooping out his eyes, Hoped to see the world again before i died. When I said "Jack and Jill went up the hill, To fetch a pail of water", I lied.

The city is known as the ‘Orange city’ of the country. This unique identity is due to the peculiar variety of oranges cultivated in this region. Owing to the characteristics of the variety with origin in the city, Nagpur received the geographical Indication(GI) status for the same in 2014. Mandarin orange, also known as Nagpur santra now, is the common type of orange widely cultivated in the region. It was brought to Nagpur by the then ruler, towards the end of the 18th century. The fruit soon became very popular and Nagpur got known for its orange cultivation gaining a certain reputation in the Indian market. However, the identity is not exploited in a public realm. There is no identified platform between the farmers/producers and the citizens where they can market and share their experience of the entire process. It is only spoken about and can be heard in news articles. There is no place in and around the city through which the sense of identity can be perceived. Thus, there is a need to reinforce this identity and exploit it beyond the tag. The study revolves around understanding the farming scenario worldwide to further narrow it down at the city level. The process will also generate a dialogue with the farmers being the primary producers and understanding the obstacles faced by them in their occupation as a farmer. This will also aid to understand the scope of the fruit in the processing industry. The objective is to reduce the gap between farmer and consumer and allow direct benefits to the primary producer. The larger aim is to create an association for the people thereby strengthening the identity for the city holistically. The idea revolves around the farming and the allied programs that can be derived, considering orange as the key produce along with other crops depending on their coexistence. Developing various programs based on the scope of the fruit to engage the people in an interactive way, also building a farmer- consumer relationship. Such an intervention will not only motivate the farmers but also create tourism opportunities for the people through agriculture, consequently boosting the agricultural economy of the region. Such a series of developments will add a new layer to the city thus contributing towards its economy and identity for the future. Reinforcing Nagpur’s identity as ‘Orange city’, thereby creating a layer of citizen association.

Harshada Bapat Shintre : : : : : : : : : : : https://issuu.com/aoa_confluence_2022/docs/adishr_1627_1 : Studio Conductors : : : The idea for this Dissertation comes from a simple thought about expanding cities and the burden caused by rapid urbanisation. With these initial factors a relation could be drawn as to how these factors are leading to more unorganised jobs, leading to issues such as hunger and migration patterns which make life tougher for urban individuals. Having these basic issues in mind, the Dissertation dives deeper into how these factors affect the city in social and economic factors, leading to a larger picture of what lifestyle the people of the city lead and how accessible basic necessities such as food, recreational spaces are to the urban population. Thus the topic explores various interventions that can be carried out on various levels throughout the city, trying to integrate all stakeholders to share their knowledge, create circular systems and eventually create a sustainable community that helps transform these interventions into regular practice and involve as many people as they can to live a better urban life.

Its prominent feature is that the toilets, made of lakhori bricks and surkhi lime, are placed in the courtyard to provide a space for ventilation. The modern drainage method, Evapotranspiration toilets, was briefly addressed in our study. In this method, no human intervention is required to clean the tank. The poster further highlights the problems faced by the locals and the solutions they devised. Study Of Traditional Toilets In The Region Of Uttar Pradesh
