Semester 8 ,Year 4

Academic Brief : Healthcare Architecture

Concept: Biophilic Architecture & Topograpgy

Mentor : Ar Apoorva Shroff

Site :SGNP

As humans have always occupied and evolved in nature naturalness can be seen as the quality of light sound temperature and air that affect our sensory system So my approach while designing the structure was focused on creating a balance with built environment for occupants for a sense of comfort and healthy well being and pragmatic healing Mental comprehension of a space is generally constructed by each person’s own contextual understanding of how the built environment relates to them as individuals

The approach was to create a stimulating & meaningful environment for all visitors – the therapeutic gardens to be the face of the building. Open spaces, critical for both macro & micro-climates also vital for our psychological well-being

SGNP Site

Healing built environment in which its main objective the incorporate the spatial organization of the building systematically so that it can communicate

Extracting the layer , mass & void from the site

Extracting the fluid masses and making itterations

Deriving an expeirience which is fluid ,smooth & seamless as inspired by the nature of contours

Semester 9 ,Year 5 Design

Dissertation

Mentor : Ar Jagdish Jani

We are visually dominant creatures , that is why we mostly tend to think , reason and imagine visually, Pallasma also states that “The architecture of our time is turning into retinal art of the eye . ”Criticism of post modern architecture often disputes the ignorance of experiential perception, order, and proportional relationships to the human body. The abundance of human system has encouraged to further analyse multisensory architecture . A critique that discussed by Pallasma urges architects to consier integration of human perception to create quality of multisensory space without dominating visual perception.Thus I have tried to create a museum of senses that includes interaction of senses gives personal impression in order to express architectural experience , among others that include significance of the shadow ,acoustic intimacy ,silence , spaces of scents ,the shape of touch,space of memory and imagination

Brief : Re-Imagining Communities & Neighbourhood

Concept: Integrating Pixels

Mentor

: Ar Prashant Prabhu

Site :Borivali Market

The studio aimed at readdressing the already chaotic conditions of the market having 3 zones (Vegetable, Fish & Flower Market) through the lens of new normal & to prepare us better for the next possible catastrophe. Keeping all of these conditions in mind a Re-organized Market along with an Upcycling market, a Pandemic unit & Transit hub were proposed.

The design revolves around the idea of multifunctional spaces as thoroughfares & separate entities which are independent yet interdependent at the same time by establishing a relationship between built masses, open spaces & circulation that it confronts, encircles, leads to & is led to.

It also involves creating & achieving active, pedestrian friendly space by incorporating green infrastructure to provide community level open spaces & lastly create a distinct identity of the market.

Brief : Place making exercise with defined segment of urban contextConcept: Integrating Pixels

Mentor : Ar jagdish jani

Site :Gorai

To capture the essence of changing neighborhoods and find bridges between micro and macro the individual and the community the neighbourhood and the city The project shall aim to enhance the area as a social node with community activities and participation that is high quality,conserving and enhancing natural features along with strengthening traditional economic activities and improve quality of life

The creeping amalgam explores the incorporation of metabolic thinking into architectural discourse explores the overlapping boundaries between art, architecture, ecology and geopolitics to observe landscapes transformations.

The project investigates ways in which “re-wilding” the nature and ourselves is explored and how transmutation between territories, humans and nature gives the opportunity of transformation.

It also situates the project within a contemporary yet ancestry context. The landscape is in continuous adaptation. Different species project their own nature and become performers and observers for and from this intervention.

The area is re-imagined as a large public park which provides opportunities of improving wellbeing, an urban space that comprehensively unites different uses to create moments of pause and interaction. The design is centred around the idea of a transitional interface as a separation between life and work a place to interact and linger

Concept: Play Of Perspectives

Mentor

: Ar Tapan Deshpande

Site : Andheri Chawl

The studio aimed at creatively transforming words into visuals as per your own imagination.

The design revolves around the play of perspectives and creating different experiantial zones. In which one space drives the other , where all surfaces, edges, & volumes can be put to use. At the same time trying to blur the edges by blending & amalgamating little elements in order to experience two spaces at once.

The studio was based on the idea of emergent properties or behaviour observed in Nature.Similarly snowfalke is characterised by local rule based interactions between its simple individual agents create complex adaptive phenomena or patterns as a collective. These were researched and mapped through diagrams and models through the Studio. Selected projects were scaled and populated though the BSSA Corridor as experiential systemic models them will land on and on until we get the intricate and beautiful shapes

Hardly snowflakes are alike in shape. Every plate every branch every needle on a needle all of those details are whats called emergent properties.

The structure of a snow flake can be found in just 6 water molecules The angle between two hydrogens is 105 degree

The crystal starts as a tiny spec of dust or pollen which catches water vapour out of the air and eventually forms simplest of snowflake shapes tiny hexagons called diamond dust and then randomness takes over The snowflake arm grows out at the pointed edges because it sticks out farther And has a higher probability that water molecules will land there and such many of them will land on and on until we get the intricate and beautiful shapes.

Taking ahead these studies a deployable model was created through varois experiments which expanded and contaracted on the basis of wieght and further a live scale furniture model was made.

Brief :Graphical representation of sound through various experiments

Sound as an enitty cannot be seen but can only be sensed by us and the only visual representation

Of sound is in the form of sound waves and this represenation helps us to understand the different properties of sound. Now what if have these different graphical manipulations of sound, we Can figure out new different properties for the same. This project aimed to show the different Graphical representations of different inputs of sounds, in different situations of both the Gender, both male and female. The apparatus of the project includes softwares such as processing

Brief : To design a house while keeping the new normal in mind as well as representing the house as a temple for body & mind.

Concept: Integrating Pixels

Team : Divya G, Riddharth J , Divya B

The pandemic has affected the daily lives of the people and has made them change their lifestyles. The ‘home’ has now become the center for everything, be it one’s work-life or one’s private life. After being quarantined for over a year, it has become clear that the traditional house will need a little upgrade to fit in with everyone’s new lifestyle. Through our design, we’ve tried to give our structure that necessary upgrade! We believe that in times like this, the creations of various kinds of spaces that allow for gatherings as well as relaxing privately are important. Hence, we’ve created multiple spaces that interact with nature as well as other programs in the house, creating a good balance between inside and outside. A play of levels can be observed to allow the user to explore the house, allowing for new experiences. Openable shutters have been added to the public programs to allow for seamless transitions into its adjoining programs. An indoor garden that puts a unique twist on the concept of a courtyard has been added. This courtyard can be viewed from all four sides. The skylight installed above lets a lot of natural light in, making the space bright. The study area and library have been separated from the other leisure spaces as it acts as a metaphoric shift between one’s private life and work life, especially since many people will be working from home. We’ve added many natural elements in the structure ranging from a pool to plants and trees as well as multiple green spaces. It is to bring nature in and make one feel relaxed of pause and interaction. The design is centred around the idea of a transitional interface as a separation between life and work a place to interact and linger
