I believe that the [five] years education of architecture should end up with an [interest] in these huge fields that could fit in every industry. Story-telling has been my interest through out my education. Focusing on the [link] between architecture and story-telling in the form of [sequences] of scenes represented in [locations], which affect the story-line based on the different orientation of the [locations].

- STORY
[ SOLACE ]
NARRATIVE
It is a story about a musician named [XavierRudd] who is traveling across the world to sing his stories to the people about his tribe. He inspired the people to approach each space in a real way. The idea was to see the metaphor of each persons spirit when adopting with same place but in different context.....“Solace amongst the sand” He is traveling carrying his house in on his bike-back. it consists of bamboos [didgeridoos] and sheets of wood. These two elements can fit on any structure shaping different shapes on each structure he lands on. Representing the metaphor of his own spirit in his house and the way it adopts to every context.

[EGO_SPACE]-[SKETCHES]
The place of coexistence, it was required to build a cultural and religious place which could accommodate the needs of every religion and every culture however the difference between them. Space ego is a place where no symbols and time are detriment. It is a sequences of spaces which is not oriented into a specific order, created with minimal elements walls and stairs only. A one big wall at the end of the journey of each individual creates a big common space between the people and thats how the interactions begins between the people despite their differences.

[EGO_SPACE]-[Narrative]
The struggle between religions and cultures, in this narrative it describes simply the state reached in the project, where everyone is building on his own steps toward the outershell, to reach out the place of no-existence of symbols or differences.
If you tried to perceive your real journey through other,it will distract your path and you will get stuck trying to rebuild your own path forever.

[Documenta11_plan]
Documenta 11 was a reference of how to distribute a spaces without creating a specific sequence between the exhibition spaces.
[EGO_SPACE]-[Drawings]
The plans were designed based on the users movement and chosen sequences. Spaces were designed but without adding an oriented sequence between them, so user would be able to create his own sequence reaching [The wall].

[EGO_SPACE]-[Video]
An experimental video documenting spaces which has unique geometries/ borders, which affects the body movement and perception in the volume itself. Editing the video with different sequences between the scenes to experiment how the journey may be completely different from to another.

Since the arrival of the villagers to the tower they have been using the building facilities weirdly in a different way. According to their thoughts and imagination they don’t see it working in the certain specific way it should be used for, they added their creative layer of imagination to each situation to suits their original needs they used to fulfil on their horizontal fabric typology Spontaneously. They started to use the cores of the tower which has the holly hole void from the top to the bottom, they rethink these holes as their main communal facilities, since it connects the floors together, not just as a transporter like it is used to be, but also as a functional threshold between the users.
They used the one of the cores as a well to distribute the water among the floors in the old vernacular way which started, by connecting the pipe system to the Nile connecting it to the bottom of the core, and by the time they had the Courage to connect more pipes and add water tanks in each floor, and a secondary pipe system to the apartments.

[Koliwada_Wells]-[Architecture]
[ Koliwada Wells ] arch out loud challenges competition entrants to design a mixed residence development on one of the last undeveloped sections of Mumbai’s coastline. For both the indigenous fishing community that has occupied the site for hundreds of years - as well as a new demographic drawn to the affluent neighborhood that now encompasses the site. Proposals should identify architectural and planning solutions that support integration between these socio-economically distinct communities.
Creating the sacred wells to act as a main hub for the district and each well has it multi-uses during the monsoon periods and a different use in the rest of the year. The wells acts as a place of interaction between the citizens of Worlikoliwada using the radial effect of focusing the houses with different economy class toward the wells.

In searching for lost scenes with silent, authentic, spacial qualities, we chased the lost structures as a temporary situation, to understand its dynamics and highlighting it. Questioning its relation between the existing situation of its construction/ deconstruction process and what it used to be or what it is going to be in the future. Tapes were used to emphasize certain situations, acting as the explorer, v the reality!!

[Art_Direction]
“upon seeking the unxplored territory, it shifts to become unexpected and absurd. when the journey begins, the space completely shifts to become so much morem it cecomes an infinite vacuum of possibilities and the exit disappears.�
Through the videoa, we wanted to show the process of perceptions formation through three different stages. The first is seeking the unexplored. represented visually as lines being formed filling the space. The second is percepting the change, represented as light surfaces being formed through the fog medium. The third is the infinite possibilities, represented in the interactions of the protagonist with the spaces formed.

[ “Aim high, stay grounded” every stage has its sacred platform ‘high’, but the common yellow flooring element between the focused sacred platform and audience platform allowed a ‘grounded’ experience. A sacred platform has became more accessible.

[ Capital Stage ]

[ Creative Stage ] [Creative stage] is the disturption that exerts new layers inside everybody. The radial orientation of the stage with the minimal sacred platform is complimenting how designers creatively access their layers deeply to form new formulas that formulate new forms of solutions.
The creative soul was reacting upon the disruption the audience exerts on the stage since that their existence is a part of the set design we put to the experience, through their skin colors and fashion identity

[ TechStage ]
The challenge in the Techstage was to be able to radiate the focus point from it being in the sacred platform only to the whole hall. It was meant to be radiated to whole hall to create an immersive experience. This was a manifestation of the AI [Artificial intelligence], how it is revolutionary getting bigger collecting small data from the human layers to the front end.
