SIR J.J.COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE,MUMBAI

“The first gesture of an architect is to draw a perimeter; in other words, to separate the microclimate from the macro space outside. This in itself is a sacred act. Architecture in itself conveys this idea of limiting space. It’s a limit between the finite and the infinite. From this point of view, all architecture is sacred.”

– Mario Botta

PHOTOGRAPHY

There is no way to deny that life flies by. A picture says a thousand words. Photography keeps memories alive and prosperous because it freezes a scene that lasts forever. Photography can tell a story, it can capture a moment in time, it can document, and it can be art. There are many technical uses for photography as well as social and creative ones. How we use and interact with photography is highly personal and will differ from one per son to the next. In capturing moments of importance and beauty, photogra phy helps people revisit memories in a way otherwise not possible. Simply put, photography grants people the ability to immortalize moments in time. But here’s the thing: it also helps us stay connected with our loved ones.

hiraeth-blend of homesickness , nostalgia and longing fika-a moment to slow down and appreciate good things “Though this feeling of helplessness suddenly burst a piercing nostal gia for the lost world of childhood.the way it came right up against the heart,that world and against the face. No indooors or outdoors, only ev erything touching us,and the grown-ups lumbering past overhead like constellations”

It is a dyadic relationship, meaning that it involves a series of interactions between two individuals known to each other. “Man is a social animal and cannot live alone and needs friends to survive. A true friend should not be ridiculed or lost for any reason. Conversely, you should stay away from friends who take advantage of you.”

solivagant-refers to feeling peaceful and quiet within our self “Solitude” suggests that although we must bear our hardships alone, we should understand that hap piness and grief are part of the human condition and remain resilient in the face of that fact. Solitude is the state of being alone without being lonely. It is a positive and constructive state of engagement with oneself. Solitude is desirable, a state of being alone where you provide yourself wonderful and sufficient company.

redamancy-an act of loving the one who loves you.

“A great amount of compassion is communicated in the simple act of taking someone’s hand and holding on tightly. It creates a spiritual vein through which strength, comfort, and hope are transfused to revitalize the soul.” Love means knowing that no matter what, you have someone to count on. It’s unconditional and makes you feel good on the inside. You can trust the person you love and are com fortable around them. It’s like your heart tells you that it is good for you.

VECTOR AND GRAPHICS

Vector artwork is art that’s made up of vector graphics. Vector art is used for multiple types of design projects. It’s used for graphic design, illustration, and digital arts. Vector software can be used for most forms of graphic design. Compared to traditional art, the most significant advantage of digital art is its convenience: digital art is easy to carry, easy to publish and share, easy to be printed in many places, and most importantly, easy to be correct ed now enabling artists to revolutionize traditional art forms.

POTTERY

Pottery plays an important role in studying culture and reconstructing the past. Historically with distinct culture, the style of pottery changed. It re flects the social, economic and environmental conditions a culture thrived in, which helps the archaeologists and historians in understanding our past.

SKETCHING

Drawing in real life, even from the exact same scene, enables an artist to capture it as they experience it themselves. Our human vision also sees the world differently than the lens of a camera, so a photograph perceives a scene very differently than the eye does.

STREETWEAR DESIGN

Streetwear is a style of casual clothing which became global in the 1990s. It grew from New York hip hop fashion and Californian surf culture to encom pass elements of sportswear, punk, skateboarding and Japanese street fashion. Eventually haute couture became an influence. Urbancore is an aesthet ic based on imagery of urban cities and street life. Urbancore is associated to real-life, modern-day society and almost always is based in recent decades. Streetwear is characterized by comfortable relaxed fit, often oversized cloth ing and bold graphic designs. Street outfits were once considered to be a fringe style, but recently it has gone mainstream, with major designers and fashion houses creating their own lines of streetwear-inspired clothing.

UNBOTHERED-SOUTH AFRICA

“Moment Omori -remember that you must die” is their tagline for branding their concept. A south African brand unbothered sells streetwear clothing for individuals believing in selling their souls and staying happy. “Memento mori, remember death! This is a great saying. If we only bore in mind that we should inevitably die and that very soon, our life would be entirely different. It is a symbolic trope acting as a reminder of the inevitability of death.

UI/UX DESIGN

The term UI/UX stands for user interface/user experience design and refers to the practice of designing digital products with a user-first approach. In other words, the point of UI/UX design is to create a product that will be both visually appealing and highly pleasant to interact with.

UI refers to the screens, buttons, toggles, icons, and other visual elements that you interact with when using a website, app, or other electronic device.

UX refers to the entire interaction you have with a product, including how you feel about the interaction. The only way to do this is by understanding the needs of your target market and their preferences.

VIDEO EDITING

Imagination and creation: These are the two principles I follow when it comes to Video Editing. This hobby of mine is something I have enjoyed and learned more of for years. I take an idea, create many different scenarios in my mind, and plug them into a program which allows me to manipulate time and space.

Video editing is important because it is the key to blending images and sounds to make us feel emotionally connected and sometimes truly there in the film we’re watching.
