CRITICAL THOUGHT
One true gift an architect has is his or her imagination. We take something ordinary and elevate it to something extraordinary.

INFOGRAPHICS LEAD BY: AR. CHRISTIAN VEDDELER CHIEF ARCHITECT, U.N. STUDIO BRIEF: STUDENTS WERE ASKED TO PREPARE A SATURATED EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM BY RESEARCHING ON DIFFERENT EXISTING EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS(BOTH PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL). STUDENTS WERE ALSO EXPECTED TO RECOGNISE ALL THE PATTERNS AND VARIABLES BASED ON THEIR INTERESTALL THE SYSTEMS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE REPRESENTED AS DIAGRAMS OR INFOGRAPHICS TO GIVE A COMPLETE PICTURE OF THE SYSTEM WHICH IN THE END IS COMBINED AS A CONDENSED SYTEM OF INFORMATION. AND IN THE LATER STAGE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN IS SUPPOSED TO BE PREPARED BASED ON THIS SYSTEM. PROJECT EXPLANATION: MY INTEREST WAS IN THE INFORMATION FLOW AND THE VIRTUAL SYTEM OF GOOGLE: WHICH LEAD ME TO SANDBOXING, INFORMATION CRAWLING, PAGE RANKING SYSTEM AND I TRIED TO CONNECT IT TO ARCHITECTURE BY DOING A CASE STUDY OF “MY 32 SQ METERS APPART MENT” BY CHINESE ARCHITECT GARY CHANG.

1 CRAWLING AND FILTERATION:
RANDOMLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION IN WORLD WIDE WEB IS CRAWLED OR FOUND BY GOOGLE DATABASE THROUGH CRAWLERS OR SPIDERS. THE INFORMATION IN WWW IS SHOWN AS BLACK DOTS WHOSE SIZES DEPENDS ON THE POPULARITY OR THE IN-BOUND LINKS, BASED ON WHICH GOOGLE RANKS THEM IN THEIR DATABASE, WHICH IS ALSO KNOWN AS PAGE RANKING ALGORITHM. SO WHEN THE USER IS ACCESSING A WEBPAGE THROUGH GOOGLE, IT IS ACTUALLY ACCESSINGAN IMAGE OF THE ORIGINAL WEBPAGE WHICH IS STORED IN GOOGLE DATABASE.
LOWEST RANKED PAGE/ LEAST POPULAR PAGE
HIGH RANKED PAGE/ MOST POPULAR PAGE
TIME DECAY A CASE STUDY OF “MY 32 METER SQUARE APPARTMENT” BY GARY CHANG IN TERMS OF FACTORS OF FILTERATION
With the passage of time an activity space tends to loose importance or affinity value. Technically it is termed as time decay factor. After the functioning of the space is over it is pushed to sandbox. It can also be said that time is inversely proportional to affinity value.
AFFINITY INDEX Affinity value can be defined as an attraction or necessity towards an activity or functioning or program of a space that lead the inhabitant to access that particular space that embodies that program. When the affinity value of the functioning of a space rises, it tends to decay the value of the previous activity of the inhabitant. In case of multiple inhabitants the value is different for each of them to each of the activities that can be performed in their dwelling.

SOCIAL CAPITAL: FINANCIAL EXCHANGE
SOCIAL CAPITAL REFERS TO THE INSTITUTIONS, RELATIONSHIPS AND NORMS THAT SHAPE THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OS A SOCIETY’S SOCIAL INTERACTION. INCREASING EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT SOCIAL COHESION IS CRITICAL FOR SOCIETIES TO PROSPER ECONOMICALLY AND FOR DEVELOPMENT TO BE SUSTAINABLE. SOCIAL CAPITAL IS NOT JUST THE SUM OF THE INSTITUTIONS WHICH UNDERPINS A SOCIETY, IT IS THE GLUE THAT HOLDS THEM TOGETHER.

WESNER’S EDUCATIONAL MODEL:
IT IS BASED ON THREE FACTORS: PARTICIPATION LOOP, CULTIVATION LOOP AND STEWARDING
PARTICIPATION LOOP: THE KNOWLEDGE IS SHARED AMONG THE MEMBERS. CULTIVATION LOOP: THE SHARED KNOWLEDGE IS PUT INTO THE FIELD FOR ITS USAGE IN PRACTICAL WORK. STEWARDING: IT KEEPS THE BALANCE BETWEEN THE TWO BY STRUCTURING THE INFORMATION TRANSFER BETWEEN THE TWO LOOPS.
