M A N I S H D PROFILE I am a second year student of architecture. In the two year I learned and understood how to devolope conceptual ideas, building construction methods, analysing the climetalogy of the region. Keeping in mind the designing process for public problems, issues, demand and limitation of design boundries, I devloped the design. My thought procces of visualising things through rigrous sketches, sketches became my stratergy to evolve things and put it in 3 dimentional physical model.
“ Continuous practice helps us to evolve and develope over thoughts and ideas�

Sound Gear In this orientation module we were given a topic called SEEN SOUND. We were given a task to make a device using local material / wast material and produce some kind of sound. The learning I took from this was that there has to be a reasoning behind what is made. What does a concept mean? Where do conceptual ideas emerge from, and how to we tackle all these questions while creating a device.

Learning : What are the different drawing methods? How does geometry involved in an object and how does the object develop a form through geometry. Learning to make 3D isometric drawings, basic plans and sections were also new learnings I attained here. However, most importantly what I learned and made it a conscious practice was how the line weight of a pencil works in drawing, to create depth in the drawing.

RESIDENCY FOR PRIME MINISTER
This is Charles Correa’s unbuilt project. The plan of the building comprises of four rooms with toilets surrounding the central courtyard. The Prime Minister’s guests or political people can stay in the house and a community discussion can take place in the central courtyard. The building material used for the construction is mud. Learning : How to arrange and plan spaces ? How to draw plans and sections in the autocad software. How to use line weight in a drawing. Line weight helps reading a drawing clearer. Also, how to represent the drawing in the SketchUp software and make a physical model of it.

In the two week of this module we were introduce to a new material called concrete. Starting with making mould, random form were used to cast concrete. This help us to undertand concrete. it was not only about the new material and the flexibility that came with it, but also the different methods that could be used to cast it. These methods influenced the form and the experianceit gave.so we started thinking through material and desgined spaces in that manner. Out of number of available choices we choose soil as a material for making mould because it was cost efficient for us. Since, we used soil as our mould through the process. we were given a topic SCOOPING LANDSCAPE. Basically scooping landscape means digging out the landscape in desirable shapes. Thus, we scooped the mud according to the required structure. We first made the reinforcement before pouring concrete. After concrete got set, we took the concrete structure out of the mud. Scooping gave us freedom to get out of the basic geometry and devlop organic shapes. It also helped in creating diffrent levels of space, one above, another.
M A T E R I A L S E N S E
The module started by making five random moulds which were used to cast concrete. This exercise helped us to understand concrete, its consistency and materiality. In this, we learnt how to make a mould using diffrent methods and casting concrete in the mould. And we also learnt which kind of material was used to make the mould.
To maintain proper consistency of cement, water and sand.This helps to generate sharp edges and smooth surfaces.
This exercise was about making a container for a flower pot. Out of a number of available choices, we chose soil as a material for making the moulds. Soil has a potential of being flexible and mould to any kind of shape which also gave a nice texture to the flower pot.
SCOOPING LANDSCAPE was the given topic and so we designed in the similar manner. Scooping gave us the freedom to get the basic geometry and develop organic shapes.
In the process of casting initially we poured concrete by scooping only once but later we figured-out that this process can be done multiple times so as to make one layer above the other, thus creating different levels of spaces.

In this RCC module, we understood how rcc give us the possibility to take any kind of shape,how it gets constructed ? How the reinforcement plays a role in the process of giving a shape or form for building spaces. RCC being a long life span material, its used by maximum people for building homes or buildngs. But,what was the advantage and disadvantage of this material for nature ? So,we did a small exercise where we explored the possibility of RCC. It was project in two’s, where we were asked to consider an area of 10 X 20 metre, on a scale of 1:25 and were given a question of ,what are the possibilities and potential of a column and how the column became a beam at some point and how this kind of a system held the structure intact.
m o d u l e
Column reinforcement In this, the column seperated into four distinct members at the top and worked as a beam to support the slab.In the process of bending, a tensile force acts on the members. So I chose to add a tensile support to bend this reinforcement.
Slab reinforcement In this slab there are some cut outs on the top of the column for light to seep into the space.
Covered slab In this process, the slab is covered with the goni to hold the clay on it.
Finish work Here as clearly seen, the slab cuts out for the sunlight and one column seperates to four. This space is G+1, shaded with large two flat roof.

In this module we constructed three type of arches: semi-circular arch, bucket arch and pyramid arch. In this we learned how to make arches using labour techniques and mechanism of arches. How arches work and how the load gets distributed in the arches. We also learned how to construct brick arch using brick shuttering. In this shuuttering we created different kinds of jali’s that reduced the material involved for making the shuttering.
c o n s t r u c t i o n
What is the process of making arches ? - First we made the plan on the ground according to span of the arch. On the plan drawn,we placed supports for the arch. On the other had we also started making mortar for the arches. - The Dori worked as a big compass, which we used to get an arch profile. One side of the dori was tied to the nail,taking the radius of the semicircular arch tieing it to the other side. - Using the dori and spanning it in a semi-cicrular form of the arch at 180 degrees, the solid arch here has jali’s inserted that helps reduce, the bulkiness of the structure and also the material. - when the semicircular arch profile is done, then cover it with sand or rati. - depending what thick arch will be like one brick arch or two brich arch we layerd the brick, and used sand mortar for fixing it. - After the process of making is complete,the brick shuttering was removed. - We now tested the arch made for knowing its bearing capacity and strength and it stood intact and sturdy enough!

Walkeshwer Documentation The first of the built environment developed here were the temples with attached residences around the tanks creating a common typology found in the region.Since there are a large no. of temples found in this region the main occupation of the people living here are the temple priests. The next thing built here were the sanatoriums, were the outsiders come and stay in the place for about 2-3 days for the ritual purposes. The common type of sanatoriums found in this region are the chawls where the top floor is occupied by the landlords and the lower floors are given on rents. These sanatoriums are found all along the tanks but are highly located to the eastern part of the tank. Towards the further east of walkeshwar are the private houses and residences with the common housing style of having a courtyard in the centre and toilets and kitchens built inside their houses. Another type of houses seen here are the once having different openings on each levels due the high topography of the region. Towards the west of the tank is the slums facing the vast sea. These slums are recently built with houses having work-in place and very compactly packed leaving very narrow places as a walkway.
