PANCHAVATI ANECDOTES SEMESTER : 4 2ND YEAR Project Typology : Community Housing Location : Panchavati, Nashik Site Area : 678M2 Built Up Area: 1137M2 Climate : Hot & humid
DESIGN FUNCTIONS Housing Blocks Commercial Kitchen Bullion Office Commercial Shops Amphitheatre
AIM OF THE PROJECT The project is sited along the banks of Panchavati. It comprises community functions with multiple layers of socio-economic, climate and natural settings, built-unbuilt, tangible and intangible aspects. The aim was to redesign the community space by understanding the placemaking quality of designed spaces. The design withholds the user-centric quality which makes it viable for all age groups. Terracing the sloping site aided weather hardships and helped to explore levels of privacy and publicness that the community demanded.
Existing site layout housed 3 commercials shops and an Artist’s house

Zoning of built structures on the periphery, creating an internal courtyard
Final design proposal resulted in forming a community space with varied levels of publicness

MAHADEV’S TAPRI SEMESTER : 4 2ND YEAR Project Typology : Temporary Kiosk Location : Prabhadevi Site Area : 20M2 Built Up Area: 10M2 Climate : Hot & humid
DESIGN FUNCTIONS An innovative roofing technique Public seating Space for Instant work set-up
AIM OF THE PROJECT Mahadev is an entrepreneur who runs a tea stall in Prabhadevi. He has a very successful business with daily customers. He aims at achieving commercial satisfaction. However, at times he faces trouble when government authorities charge unnecessary wages for setting up a stall. When he denies to make the payment, he is forced to flee from that spot. Thus, in order to make his life simpler and design a quick space for his set-up, this design project was given. The challenge involved designing an easy to use setup which allows to flee quickly in unforeseen situations. 13
The large inflow of people includes -Users from AOA college -the Visitors to the temple -Street vendors
This acts as a Extremely cheap centre spot for solution to fulfil gossip mongers hunger needs of all classes of society
The hexagonal tessellations act as a rotatable roof which is suitable for both- harsh summer heat & direct sunlight as well as Rains. End cap for aluminium channels Aluminium connectors and channels

CELEBRATION HUB SEMESTER : 5 3RD YEAR Project Typology : Celebration Centre Location : Eskay Resorts, Borivali (West) Site Area : 6000M2 Built Up Area: 4000M2 Climate : Hot & humid
DESIGN FUNCTIONS 3 Banquet Halls Administration Office Restaurant Restrooms
AIM OF THE PROJECT This project demanded us to study Ar. Antoni Gaudi and his works to trigger our design process. Antonio Gaudi, an architect renowned for his free style forms derived from nature and the concepts of gravity & anti-gravity inspired the design of this project. The aim of this exercise was to Imagine a Celebration Hub amidst dense growth of trees and forestry. Even though the site is cut-off from the main road, it survives as a well-known spot for public gatherings. Tree cover acts as a natural barrier and thus does not create any nuisance in neighbouring buildings. 17

AIM OF THE PROJECT The solo pad located in BKC is owned by an Installation artist. The space requirements are modulated as per the client requirements. This artist has his workplace at the residence itself. Thus, he needs large work table to place heavy materials and ample amount of circulation space. His client meetings also call for a meeting space without letting the visitors enter his territory. Adhering to these criteria, a private space has been provided on the mezzanine which is secluded from chaotic work environment. Exposed concrete allows a robust work environment and red metal stripes create an exciting spatial contrast.

AIM OF THE PROJECT This is an interior project for redesigning showroom of a well-known optical brand LENSKART. Deriving inspiration from the cage like feature obtained from metal carts and the pre-existing logo of the company, curves have been subtly added to the design. The colours and material palette strongly create an attracting contrast for the customers. The element of lines has been cured carefully and used as lights as well as wooden panels. The shades of blue and beige fabric impart a cosy environment without hindering the user experience.

AIM OF THE PROJECT The project “Concrete Chemistry” aimed at exploring the analytical chemistry of concrete through weekly tests, experiments and scrutinizing the end product. It’s also to had a micro-level understanding of concrete as a material and explore the possibilities of formwork design, preparing the desired mix for casting of concrete, experiencing different finishes & textures and the techniques involved in achieving the desired finish. The College Project encouraged the culture of “learning by making” through collaborative and interactive experiences. 38

SECTION 39
The concept of design to be done on the wall, was presented to the working committee of the society.
REFURBISHING THE RECREATIONAL
Once the design was approved, Specification list of materials required and the costing was given.
Finally the execution of the project took place. The entire curation took place in a span of three days.
AIM OF THE PROJECT This project represents my first hand experience as an individual designer -cum-curator. The end users of this project were the members of society Thakur Jewel, Kandivali. The society requested an “Artistic Touch� to the kids-recreational zone. I was appointed for the same. The entire process involved delivering concept drawings, material lists and specifications and finally implementing and delivering within given time duration. 40
FINAL VIEWS OF COMPLETED PROJECT
EXHIBITION AT BSE SEMESTER : 5
The word ‘WATER’ is made quite literally from the discarded water bottles.
3RD YEAR
INVALUABLE
Water is the ultimate treasure that must be savoured.
AIM OF THE PROJECT As a Part of DALAL STREET LIT FEST, the students from AOA participated in curating the exhibition, held at Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The entire process involved designing posters and making several installations.
FRAMING THE ENTRY
The installation gives an insight oceans will be filled with an overabundance of waste. A product of this will be plastic waves.
Another major requirement of the exhibition talked about making informative flyers and posters. The posters attracted the viewers and put across the message of judicious water usage and conservation. There was a team of 4 students who took over the task of graphic designing which included me. 41

ESPIONAGE
7DS10135
Espionage which means spying, is a mentality, it is a double standard of existence. There is no place where this kind of infiltration is not possible. It is obviously not recommended as a technique to build impressive civilisations. It gives the best output in Isolation. Voluntary loneliness allows the brain to recharge and increases the productivity. Thus, exploring the concept of Espionage, the designed house houses an individual belonging to counter intelligence department. As his job demands secrecy and selective socialisation, so the proposed module wanders in deep waters where it is untraceable. However, if the owner wishes to go any place else-where, then he can come to the surface and ship himself to desired destination.
Honourable Mention
Within the configuration itself, there is a secret room lodged. Activities like bugging, wire-tapping, ethical hacking can be performed from this secret space. The curves of the wall very well hide the entrance to this little official space. Despite of an extremely tedious daily routine, the living space of the house is carefully modelled using bright colours which blends with the ocean waters. Sufficing personal comfort, space for sleeping, diving, cooking etc have been carefully allotted. The design is self-s ustainable in nature which uses techniques like solar energy generator, water treatment unit, oxygen production unit etc. Incorporating qualities of safety, ownership, privacy and stability, this house allows smooth functioning of daily rituals. Outlined for a vivid user the approach towards design is intensely evocative.

THE PROCESS OF PURCHASE
Developement of high risers led to space crunch for Public Markets
Ludicrous form with vertical movement which promotes social distancing.
The market is equidistant to entire community setting and thus accessible even on feet.
One user enters the shopping cabin at any given time.
The wheel rotates at a moderate speed, giving the user 8 mins to complete his purchase. As one cabin moves forward, next individual enters adjacent cabin
A consecutive buyer enters the cabin without having any physical contact.
Customer satisfaction is of utmost importance, which is achieved as an entire round is completed.

AQUATECTURE
(Volume zero competition entry)
Depletion of land and resources has led to an increase in crime rates, hence the structure is designed for INMATES in a CORRECTIONAL FACILITY. Social interaction being an important aspect in such a space, has been merged with the concept of HORIZON as a ‘MEET UP’ space. By reimagining such a facility, the structure exposes the users to visual treat of horizon, above water and below water. The multifaceted and dynamic form of the structure has been inspired from a human swimming, how the balance and the movement in the structure has been done using alternate massing and motion. The courtyard has been provided to allow inmates to fish from within the structure negating the risk of escape. Use of scanning passages reducing the work load of the guards. Considering the encouragement of the inmates in various activities and duties of guards, the structure is made self-sustainable by users themselves. For example: Piezo electric energy, Farming, Reusable bathing water,etc. The module can be repeated for correctional facilities reformation and rehabilitation facilities.
