Studio - Spring, 2020 Faculty - pranav raiji
The studio explores idea of the immediate and afar context. The ‘immediate‘ being natural and human-made elements of the place along with the theme and functions indicated in the program. The ‘afar’ were the psychological aspects such as aspirations and associations of the people related to the project or the site. Abstract models were created looking at each of the contextual elements in detail and then combined into different designs on site. One of those designs was taken further and developed. The program is based on the movement ‘Farm To Table’. A cafe which grows its own fresh produce, cooks and brings it on the table. Making your own food, producing organic vegetables, and spreading awareness regarding the same is achieved through the project.

SPAN AND SPACE
Studio - SprIng, 2021 Faculty - v. r. Shah, mangESh BalSarE
The studio aims at imparting the basic knowledge of local and global forms with respect to structural actions. Studio will deal with association of space and tectonics by developing the understanding of material, form and structure in such a way that one can use this understanding in their design to integrate the structure and construction along with spatial qualities to achieve a desired tectonic expression.

The studio is about designing an extension to the existing heritage school in Ahmedabad. The project is defined by contingencies, responding to which the design is shaped. The next part of the studio delves into Space Syntax, a software that analyses design based on certain algorithms and gives outcomes in terms of convex and data maps showing the possible nature of the space by looking at values like integration, choice, step depth, etc.

The studio delves into understanding the GDCR and applying the laws to design Residencial Group Housing projects as a part of short-time problem exercises. Each project focuses on different aspects of design, from maximizing efficiency to exploring different types of units and responding to the larger context in terms of program and form.

The voids seen in the section are now used as community spaces where each space can be designed in the way people decide, and can be reshaped after some time. This also opens up the core making it brighter and naturally ventilated.
