BLURRED EDGES DESIGN STUDIO Project: Data Architecture Style Transfer Site: U.S. Bank Tower, Downtown L.A. Instructor: Guvenc Ozel Benjamin Ennemoser Gabby Shawcross Collaborators: Bohan Cheng, Pratinav Chadha, Yunqi Lei The studio seeks to develop the fundamental designs and technological ideas inspired for a new aesthetic paradigms. Through machine learning algorithm, system is trained to recognize and develop biases based on the formal qualities of the work regarding color, depth, pattern and other visual traits. Machine Learning technique - style transfer applies the Training Data to the massing of the building which becomes concept for the new building. Style transfer is the technique of recomposing one image in the style of another. Two inputs, a content image and a style image are analyzed by a convolutional neural network which is then used to create an output image whose “content� mirrors the content image and whose style resembles that of the style image.

ARTISTIC INFLUENCES ARTISTIC INFLUENCES: SCULPTOR _
TONY CRAGG Tony Cragg does not limit the materials for what he is using, but push himself towards the aesthetic quality with different characteristics on different materials. His works reflects the replication of human system which is an extremely complicated geometric composition of molecules, cells and organs.
Key words: Repetition in geometry // linear stack , spherical patterns, colour stack etc.
ARTISTIC INFLUENCES: MEDIA ARTIST_ SOUGWEN
WCHUNG Sougwen Chung known as a media artist who combines hand-drawing computer technology and robot in her works in recent years. The diversity of curve width, colours depth, light brightness and collection of twisted textures compose the complexity. Key words: Repetition of curves // variety of fluid curves and lines ARTISTIC INFLUENCES: FASHION DESIGNER_ ALEXANDER

STYLE TRANSFER MATRIX_DEFINED STYLES Exploring how the concept of repetition varies in different language of artwork; when juxtaposed on the structure creates new geometry. Patterns, forms, motion and colour disfigures the geometry after integration of style by machine. Volumetric exploration with help of styles provides possibilities to explore the transformation of the edge condition.

The Structure, STARDUST TRINITY, considers all the aforementioned aspects in mind and stands high in the sky with a trilogy, each for a different purpose. The commercial tower contains housing units for workers, film academy, production office, hotel for film stars as well as public; along with sustainable techniques to make building more energy sufficient. The public tower comprises recreational facilities, restaurants, etc. for public use. And the film tower consists of various sets of movies such as forest, snow world, deserts, suburbs, etc. which when not in use by the crew members, can be allotted as recreational facilities for public. In addition, it also consists of flexible sets, music studios, recording rooms, workshop spaces which otherwise are located at varied areas in a city. Film crew members play supporting role during film making to make it convenient we have also provided flying crew for connectivity without any disturbance.

INSTITUTION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES DESIGN STUDIO SEM 08 Project: Site:
Space and Sound Goregoan (East), Mumbai, India
Instructor: Dipal Chhayya, Atrey Chhayya, The use of the term institution has become widespread in the social sciences in recent years, reflecting the growth in institutional economics and the use of the institution concept in several other disciplines, including philosophy, sociology, politics, and geography.The increasing acknowledgement of the role of institutions in social life involves the recognition that much of human interaction and activity is structured in terms of overt or implicit rules.But in the case of institute for environmental sceinces human interaction has modifications. Interaction with nature also playes important role. Hence the site was studied and spaces were created which has pockets capturing different nature sounds.

Sound waves
Sound waves may or may not have multiple reflections but sound on the other side gets amplified due to change in pressure.
Sound waves reflect multiple times due to parallel surfaces.
INSTITUTION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
On scatterinf and reflection of sound by rough surfaces. When simple harmonic wave strikes a rough surface on which the roughness is represented by distribution protuberances, the influence of this roughness may be separated into a coherent reflected wave.

Study Hall Holdings Common + Play area Administration
City Sounds Site lies on the fringe of city and forest. Hence sound plays a major role in building institution on given site. Main curvature was strategically place to maintain the environment of institution. Disturbance of the city was obstructed by curvature of administration department, therefore avoiding disturbance in the classroom. Calm and serene sound of nature is captured by the study hall arc.

SIOLIM VILLAS Studio Amita Vikrant Professional Work Project: Site: Area:
Leisure home Siolim, Goa, India 1500 sq.m
Conceptually, design was inspired by the three phenomena that encircle our lives creating rhythms around us, building an atmosphere while having a ephemeral presence so that they affect every fragment of the human spirit, every sliver of our soul. SUN, MOON, EARTH; the unique trio of elements within our universe create an amazing web of space and energy; a curious mixture of both attraction and intersection. The three villas reflect this spatial web; creating spaces that are mystical almost magical, spaces that are dynamic with a sense of constant flow and motion; spaces that are powerful enough to invoke the energy and high spirit that the sun, moon and earth together represent.
I was part of design development team, worked for presentation and working drawing. I was coordinating with client, detail consultants and site contractor. With frequent site visits, construction of details was well understood.

THE YELLOW HOUSE SCHOOL Studio Amita Vikrant Professional Work Project: Primary School Analysis, Measure Drawing and Proposal stage Site: Arjuna, Goa, India Area: 300 sq.m Yellow House Pre-School aims to give the children the best possible start to their education by developing their Independence, Curiosity, Imagination and Desire to learn.They are given the Inspiration to learn by Exploring and Discovering their Environment and are encouraged to learn through Experience. Natural Learning alternatives are provided and are reflected through a balanced and creative curriculum. Client Briefs was to look upon following areas: - Light and ventilation in small classroom - Redefined backyard with respect to activities - Outdoor teaching areas - Change in courtyard hardscape - Roof in the courtyard
Team of four was given a task to measure draw 2 schools and to interact with client for the proposal. I was part of mesure drawing team of primary school project of the given two school. Later being part of concept and design development team, worked for feasibility and presentation drawing. The design was well appreciated by the clients.

The studio is a series of weekly workshops devoted to becoming familiar with a software, a tool, or a technique. A given object was subjected to a series of transformations and modifications by experimenting with different means of modeling, representation, fabrication, animation, and augmentation. This studio aims to go beyond a formal exercise by engaging critical thinking skills to explore the implications of the tools and techniques.

The idea of ‘Pyramid’ inspired by the game Monument Valley, which has potential to investigate multiple internal and external volumes. By spliting and recomposing the pyramid in various ways, inside and outside could have an exchange. In the physical model, the localized condition is strengthening the interior and the motion is being registered by the interior color.

DESIGN DISSERTATION
DESIGN DISSERTATION Publication (NMIMS -BSSA) DESIGN STUDIO Project: Silent Privatization of Urban Public Spaces Site: Rajkot, Gujarat, India Instructor: Trilochan Chhayya The thesis is a study of how real estate is affecting the physical and social dynamics of public space that play a central role in the formation of public culture. A city’s streets, parks, squares, and other shared spaces have been seen as symbols of collective well-being, expressions of achievement and formation of civic culture. With the growth and development there is urban confusion. Personal needs are preferred more than the public. Hence people in the real estate starts providing basic amenities along with private urban sphere. This has disturbed growth of the city. For instance, consider the case of Rajkot, the fourth largest city in Gujarat. It is a developing city and its development is majorly influenced by real estate. Rich with its culture, art, music and festivals but has lost its essence with absence of public space and lack of public amenities. With economic growth in real estate has drifted mind-set to money making. Therefore it is in the need for the city to activate it in the way that there is an urge of going out to these open spaces. The design is thus focused on generating central urban space for the Rajkot city with the balance in the real estate market.

Mapping of Land based on it Price
JANTRI PRICES
MARKET PRICES
Jantri is the government document which specifies the market price of the land and buildings. In present system certain value zones are established at macro levels, but within the same value zone the land prices of all the plots cannot be same. There are certain negative factors which are attached to land, like width of the road on which a plot abuts, frontage to depth ratio, adjoining slum or hutments, proximity to high tension electricity supply lines, socio-economic pattern, stage of infrastructure, development, etc.
Market rates are the prices of land/building decided by seller and negociated by buyer. The market rate of any plot is decided taking into consideration factors such as development zone, location, shape, road width and legal status of the plot. At present, there is a huge gap between jantri and market rates resulting in properties getting registered at rates just above ‘jantri’, eating into stamp duty and registration fee collections of the government.

Race course which has ample amminities provided in this area, there is development in the surrounding region with government offices, residences, commercial buildings, entertainment places, restaurents and cafeteria. But edge is separated from this wide open space with surrounding busy road. Jubeli which is the old british structure. There is lang library which has collection of books as well as daily newspaper of various kinds. Adjoining is Cannaut Hall and Museum. On the other side of the street is Old school which needs to be revitalised. This street opens up to a busy market with all the products ranging from basic needs to motor parts or farming tools. Darbargardh is the centre of the city. Growth of the city started with this point. Phase 2 - To attract people from all parts of the city and to enhance the infrastructure which leads to further development and needs of the city. On the eastern side of the city, there are old settlements and factories and small scale industries. Because of the existing scenario and lack of facilities, growth of the city is on otherside of the city. V
