It portrays the psychological memory for all for extreme aggression and destruction (Symbolic destruction) – The gruesome experience of 1917, helplessness and the need of survival. This is to focus on the memory of people and events to satisfy people’s psychological requirement with memorial behavior. To also cater to the space to act as a symbol – To rather not mourn the deaths but celebrate the lives of soldiers (To personify the pride to pay tribute). The Symbolic destruction is to highlight the importance of a symbol which attaches function giving emotion to that symbol constructed as a journey to instigate re – thinking of the concept of war and spread awareness among people about the specific events or places throughout history.

Saurabh Mhatre, Ar. Juhi Prasad : : : : : : : : : : : This project intended to study the drawings of the architect, James Sterling, and use them to express the AD design of an artist studio. James Sterling has produced some fascinating drawings with the help of various geometrical shapes and different line intensities. He highlights certain parts in his illustrations using solid colors, which creates an engaging composition. His unique axonometric views show the base of the structure. These aspects of his drawings have been adapted into the outcome of this project. Previous Next Drawing In Conversation 2

Yagnik Bathija : : : : : : : : : : : The human activities along the water edge, come forth as one sided negotiation with the environment, which has disrupted the ecological balance. Successively, this is degrading the ecosystem. Over the past few years there have been substantial efforts to lessen the negative impacts caused by this imbalance. The concern then arises, how can we as architects intervene to throw light on this public issue and propose reliable solutions which promote a sustainable living environment. The functioning of the waste management sector in our nation sequentially proves inefficient owing to the large volumes of biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes being generated. The non -biodegradable plastic waste proves to be an ecological and environmental poison. On further research and analysis, we identified that the waste management techniques performed in urban parts of our country are largely informal, illegal and invisible. Recycling as a process is done in a rudimentary manner by the informal sectors. Thus, it is the requirement of the hour to scale up this organization by integrating and associating with the pre-existing factories in the locality and make this entire process technology-aided.

We chose the manifesto, “Five points of new architecture” by Le Corbusier to understand how a manifesto is written and shared with the public. Post various discussions and combine our critique as a group on the above we reflected, and stated our aspirations by penning down our own beliefs for a resilient future! The manifesto was to be presented as a written document stating the demands and declaration supported by a visual in any medium. Our manifesto, Provocative architecture highlights and discusses the futuristic idea of how architecture itself can become an expression to provoke its surroundings. We questioned why a building is only identified by its aesthetics and use, why not more? The video forms a visual representation of our manifesto and attempts to trigger the idea to provoke the designers to use the opportunity bestowed to them to focus on the true value for the society through their designs.

The design emphasizes being user-centric, creating two major types of landscape- recreational and commercial We have considered a family of three and a housekeeper as the users of the site. The meandering pathway from the center goes through stepping stones on the river. Taking a few stone steps we reach the labyrinth that is an open contemplating space surrounded by a thick grove of trees. The lotus pond is a water feature harnessing the nature water line on site that acts as an interesting element along the pathway that ends in a labyrinth. The naturopathy center is approached from a pathway that is also designed as a part reflexology pathway. The reflexology pathway is made up of different varying textures to induce an intended therapy of walking barefooted on the ground. The pathway is lined with medicinal shrubs and trees like tulsi, amla, and other medicinal plants. The specialty of these pathways is that they have plant islands in between inducing an interesting movement. Design of a residential landscape 1

Two slabs of P.O.P mixture of same dimensions were made.In one of the slabs wire mesh was added such that it is not seen from any side and both the slabs look identical.After the mixture was set and the slabs were completely dry,they were dropped from a height of 5 feet approximately. Through this experiment it was concluded that the reinforced slab (compression and tension balanced) has high strength compared to an unreinforced slab due to which the breakage of reinforced slab is less than that of unreinforced slab.

In such a case, how can a physical space be made more diversified and useful to living creatures in order to foster an intimate relationship between space, its users and the city as a whole? This thesis seeks to investigate the potential of urban built environment as a medium for build a synergial life-space-technology relationship. To utilize the synergy between the physical realities and digital existence to make spaces for the living, to promote accessibility to the medium and creating a cohesive city Identity. This will be achieved – By establishing public spaces that can enhance the living mind and engage people on multiple levels. By allowing the user to define their own spaces. By integrating the experiences of the digital to the physical. By instilling a sense of public space in its true sense, and by allowing living creatures to interact with the built environment through various mediums. Existential Dimorphism: Digital existence x Physical realities

Narrative: The lives of the population living in underdeveloped rural areas face severe threats due to the poorly developed health infrastructure. These villages and remote areas rarely see good doctors and proper medication. During pandemic there are no proper testing and quarantine centres. The client is a physician who goes for the treatment of people living in remote villages. He sets up a clinic in a village for a day. In a week he goes to around 4-5 villages. The client is a physician who moves from one village to another on a daily basis, so there is a need for proper shelter. The HO(MEd) provides him the basic structure for living along with his workspace (his clinic). With all the spaces planned within 300 sq. ft within a shipping container having mobility provides basic requirements of house and workspace to the client. In case of pandemic , remote villages don’t have proper access to testing and quarantine facilities. The proposed design then can act as an isolation ward and testing center by using it as a modular unit.
