SURFACE INFLATION : PNEUMA SHELL : ARCH 902 : SPECULATING ON ARCHITECTURAL MEDIUMS Studio Instructor : Kutan Ayata Site : Art OMI, New York Design Studio SPRING 2018
DESCRIPTION : The studio emphasizes contemporary and near future speculations into the design of project-based architectural visualization, architectural fabrication and/or those in between. Output of the studio, ranges from “undersized architecture” to “oversized products” and explore the disciplinary space between visualization and fabrication. Topics of focus include: live architectural rendering, animatronic architecture and pneumatic architecture. PREFACE : Today’s Anthropocene period, a new geological age in which human activity is acknowledged as the most powerful evolutionary force, has undermind a number of architecture’s disciplinary conventions. Architecture is no longer the province of humans only but today engages non-humans as well. It no longer defines as a stable object in an inert field that we have formerly called “nature” and architecture’s ability to monumentalize nationalistic politics unravels in light of today’s dispersed and emergent geopolitical alignments outside of the scale of human activity. Post-Human, Post Natural and Post National are key aspects to the studio. INTERVENTION: We will be looking at advanced design, representational agility, visualization, model fabrication and full scale prototyping. A Design Intervention, in the form of a pavilion, will be articulated, which will be derived through the concept of Anthropocene. 02

The process articulation for the Pavilion started with a series of experiments conducted on various frames, created with a copper wire. The material gave it enough flexibility to bend and twist but at the same time, provided strength.
A series of distinct observations are made as a few interesting moments are created by composing geometric shapes. The material moves along with the geometry of the frame and creates stark bulges.

The idea is to create an inner sphere comprising of frame work which would extend out to an external shell. The inner dome is essentially designed to be hollow with an intention to create a habitable space. The outer shell is meant to be minimal in its nature. It is meant to encapsulate the balloons. Additional pressure points are created on the periphery of the inner dome which exaggerate the already inflated balloons.

STONE AND THE SEA : A DIALOGUE : ART PRISON : RECREATIONAL VISUALIZATION Design Team : Pratik D Jadhav, Kshama D Daftary Site : Santa Caterina, Italy Design Competition SPRING 2018 DESCRIPTION : The fortress of Santa Caterina stands over the peak of Favignana, an isle set at the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. It appears as a real jewel of solitude. It is a place imbued with an imposing and moving beauty. Art Prison. This is a competition in collaboration with the Municipality of Favignana aiming at making the most of a remarkable context in order to transform Santa Caterina Fortress into one of the most suggestive centers of contemporary art of the Mediterranean. PREFACE : Solitude has always been highly fascinating for human beings. Hermitages, fortresses, shelters. Since the dawn of time, human beings have been looking for a solitary condition, avoiding their counterparts as if they wanted to rediscover a feeling of purity, reconciliation with their self and union with nature. INTERVENTION: We will be looking at an extension to the Castle complex, a sublime place of encounter, culture and creative research where artists will have the opportunity to relax and enjoy in an untouched place. The latter will be the perfect context to inspire artists’ imagination and make them express the real essence of their inner self.

Favignana, with its strong geographical and historical context of the tonara and the mattanza, is an important aspect of culture. The process of the tuna getting caught in a series of nets which diminishes gradually ultimately reaching the chamber of death is graphically represented in to the pathway leading to the prison, and later into the wave which combines with a series of nets Water

Stone and the Sea : A Dialogue The prison had been in its position standing still, undergoing the wear and tear of nature and human vandalism. The sea and the prison in such close proximity have been having a conversation with each other since ages. A moment in this conversation had been encapsulated into a museum which holds artistic decor, where a wave tried to collide with the prison and the structure standing in its glory is width standing it. The wave had been symbolized in to a form which shows a brutal nature of water, its intensity, force, sharpness and edges which is trying to engulf the prison from all sides.

Art Museum A museum, has been proposed as an extension to the prison complex .The articulation of the museum ,has been deliberately done towards the rear side of the prison, so as to cause no visual hindrance, to a visitor who approaches the prison, on the front inclined pathway. The circulation inside the museum is organic resembling the flow of water in between small and big stones wherein they form the display areas of the artists.

LIVING WITH GARBAGE INFRASTRUCTURE RE-IMAGINATION : Studio Instructor : Nikhil Khadilkar Site : Deonar, India Undergraduate Thesis SPRING 2014 DESCRIPTION : Garbage is taken up from the dumping ground, filtered into its various components (plastic, metal, glass) and then sent out into various recycling plants in the city which forms a network. Intent is to make people aware about this part of the city which is constantly inhaling all its trash and the community which has developed around it. So the idea here is to create a space which responds to the exciting community in terms of their culture as well as their occupation (a live exhibition space which exhibits their on going activities). And later on this space becomes a museum when the dumping ground is shut. It becomes an extension to the proposed garden by the government.

Initial Study model A conscious design element is created to physically connect the existing housing and industrial units, to a public plaza. It is an attempt to invite the slum dwellers, to the workshops which support the garbage industry on a systematic platform. Design intervention model The overall Design proposal is to transform the existing chaotic dump site, into a large scale public recreational garden which is given back to the city. In doing so, the existing garbage industry is hugely affected and will invariably act as a design consideration.

Diagonal House // Goa, India
DIAGONAL HOUSE PROJECT COMMISSIONING : Design Team : Pratik D Jadhav, Kshama Daftary Site : Goa, India Single Family House FALL 2016 DESCRIPTION : On a hot and humid site located in one of the most high spirited city of India, the project deals with articulation of a single family home for a client with a professional background in building contracting. During the first meeting with him, the brief which was provided, was clear. He was expecting the house to be planned in a non typical and non traditional manner. It had to respond to the site constrains with a compound area not exceeding a rectangle of 18 x 15 mts. Realizing this, the longest length of a rectangle being its diagonal, a decision was taken to incorporate the main functions to the house, along this axis. The house also had to strictly follow the principles of vaastu, as it was the client’s belief. Once all of the functions were planned, an axis was cleared towards the entrance, which gave an unobstructed view of a water body and a stone wall planted towards its end. It provided a relief at the entrance and the small scale of the plot went unnoticed.
46
The entrance to the house is from the front porch which flows into the living room .The living room is blended with the landscape adjoining to it thereby introducing light and cross ventilation which would create more openness into the house. The entrance has two straight axis vision lines which culminate into open landscape areas. Upon entering the living one either sees the double height courtyard through the dining which is at the farther most corner of the house surrounded by a staircase resulting the house to appear open and not enclosed by walls . The second vision ends into a water body with has a sit out near it giving the same results.

NON STANDARD HOUSING : PARAMETRIC DESIGN Studio Instructor : Kayzad Shroff Site : Karjat, India Undergraduate Design studio FALL 2013
DESCRIPTION : The fourth year housing studio mainly intends towards understanding and implementation of the latest form of architecture and planing strategy, known as “the parametric build form”. The function to be loaded on an isolated site of Karjat which falls in the remote areas of India, is a “second home” cluster scheme. The main design strategy is to evolve an overall masterplan. Individual layouts derived by this strategy are similar to each other in their spatial arrangement but differ in their overall form.

The Gairola house, Haryana India The Gairola house located at Haryana, India is considered as a case to understand the volumetric arrangement of various functions. The main concept is the relation that these functions share with a common central courtyard and other private courtyards. A basic block diagram technique is used for analysis of the building in terms of its planar and sectional dynamics. The house resides three families. Basement and ground level is occupied by one user group. The first level has one user and a terrace garden at the second level. Each unit has an individual living and dining along with an access to the courtyard. The courtyards are categorized as private and common. There is a difference in the shape and volume of these courtyards at each level. 53

Traditional Goan Hotel : Drafting out a complete set of G.F.C. along with its site execution The accuracy of each construction element is monitored and never compromised. The forth level of the hotel, varies in terms of its floor plate as an additional room was planned later due to change in building regulations pertaining to the area. As a design improvisation, the room was planned in a way, so as to make it look like a floating mass supported by flare columns. The common passage on all floors, is designed to face the main facade. By doing this, it flooded by natural light reducing the maintenance cost to the project. The roof is pitched, to break the linearity and boxy nature of the front facade. An

DESCRIPTION : The studio develops principles and possibilities around architectural design mediums and their cross-catalytic relationships. There is a distinctive identification of the physical, virtual and the augmented 3D space. By exploring these three categories of mediated architecture, one will be exposed to the problems and potentials of the confusion, collapse and creative capacities around an architecture that is simultaneously physical, virtual and augmented.

The Cube, in its simple form, is used as a base object. It is tessellated into various internal pieces, to form a complex yet well defined object. The line between reality and virtual environment is then blurred to create a controlled illusion. One is made to test his visual ability and forcibly identify the presence of physical pieces and the camouflaging virtually created pieces. The entire fabrication set up is then projected with an animation which further blurs the reality from its appearance.

SPECULATIONS IN SPACE Studio Instructor : Eric Schoenenberger Site : Virtual Environment, Moon Graduate Design studio Summer 2017 DESCRIPTION :
Formation of space in morphogenesis is best understood by the relationship established between an object to its surroundings. The relation between interior to its exterior and the one between exterior to its environment is explored and speculated using digital media. An accurately modeled object is speculated for possible built spaces and its response to the landscape which gets formed around it. Site is not the governing factor and is introduced towards the end for providing a scale to the project.

Finding form is one of the essential elements for space visualization. The right way to find form is through morphogenesis, i.e. tracing down the birth of form and developing it in terms of its capacity to respond to its context. In a way, the context starts behaving like an extension to the object and vice versa. To me, this relation of similarities and contrast between the object and its landscape is generating space. Digital media plays a key role in generating form. However it is inevitable to realize that media has to be used as a tool of expression and not as a driving force which governs the design. A basic two dimensional shape is speculated through the lens of solid geometry. Digital operations are performed on this shape to create surfaces which eventually culminates into a solid object. Each operation is manually controlled to achieve the desired form. The studio brief is to find logic and intend with which the object has been crafted. A third dimensional object is transformed into a space by defining its environment which becomes its immediate context. In this case, the landscape around the object is trying to define itself as an extension to the object. On investigating the object, it is evident that it has been intended to have smooth external surface and crisp internal edges.

Reflection // Inversing the Landscape to form an enclosure
Speculation in Spaces // Moon
Site Plan at Roof Level The swirling motion of the internal profile will find its way on to the external landscape. The object has been rolled over on to a flat surface which leaves its trace behind. This relationship between the object surface and its imprint on the context is quite intriguing. The imprinted surface encapsulates a space when its reversed surface is created on top. A completely new perception is created by material application. The imprints remain solid with a transparent shell formed on top of it. On remodeling the object, the external shell is given away leaving its skeleton behind. The interior of the object now becomes its exterior. As an architectural gesture, the medium of two dimensional line drawings is adapted to investigate the project. Viewing the object and its context through lines, generates a speculation. These lines can be manipulated in plan and sections to give a new definition to the project.

In conclusion, the form finding experiment is developed into a solid substance. This layer is then unpacked for further investigation and remodeling. A final operation of packing in terms of line drawings is carried out which redefines and re renders the original form.

SKEW : Design Team : ENIGTHO Site : Mumbai, India Project Commissioning FALL 2016
Massing Iterations The project is based at a residential locality in Mumbai. As a master planning strategy, a few design parameters were evolved to improvise on the existing skyline on site. Orienting the structure in a skew allows the individual flats to be in connection to the overall masterplan as well as give them a small enclosure. Blank walls are crafted to create a blur identity of each building. Site massing strategy is derived by defining the circulation pattern of different user groups. A common circulation core is shared by 3bhk and 4bhk occupants. Likewise, a common core is shared by 1bhk and 2bhk users. An independent core is provided to the premium 4bhk owners who have their apartments facing the main road and overlook into the common recreational green space.
