Introduction We are happy to place before you, the 2021 edition of Studio Units Catalog, for the Monsoon Semester. This is the seventh in our catalog series. The objective is to compile, showcases and share the range of students’ projects from the studios of Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.), Bachelor of Design (B.Des.), Bachelor of Interior Design (B.I.D.), Bachelor of Urban Design (B.U.D.) and Bachelor of Construction Technology (B.C.T.) It is a matter of some satisfaction for us that we are able to place this catalog before you in these very challenging COVID times. The University has been operational in the hybrid mode, which allowed students to access the campus on only three days every week. In spite of these constraints, tutors and students found innovative ways to make models and have produced interesting work. CEPT’s revised pedagogy lays emphasis on the new Studio Unit system. Learning and teaching is centered on the studio units which comprises about 12 to 15 students. Each five-year undergraduate program is organized in three levels. A common one-year foundation is followed by Level 2 (L2) and Level 3 (L3) integrated studios. L2 studio comprises students from 2nd and 3rd year and L3 studio comprises 4th and 5th year students. The studio units have small groups of students led by one or two tutors, a greater curricular weightage in terms of credits and time, and a semester calendar which allows 4 weeks of uninterrupted studio work towards the end of the semester. The studios have a focused approach with specific learning outcomes. L1 studios (not part of this catalog) are focused on building foundational skills and abilities required for an architect, urban designer, designer or an engineer. L2 studios clearly focus on developing one of the skills: Visualizing and Communicating, Analyzing and Designing, Constructing and Specifying, Planning and Organizing. In addition, all Level 2 units develop the skill for building arguments and rationales. In L3 studios, the students use multiple design abilities to solve complex design problems. Students develop the ability to exercise architectural/ design judgments. Design problems are defined based on a specific theme, approach (along with its rationale) or a theoretical position. The site, program and the area requirements may be defined by either the tutor or by the student. We have had to identify new ways of working and this semester along with the print version, we are sharing the online catalog. We are also putting up an online exhibition along with an abridged exhibition on-campus. The catalog enables us to present consolidated outputs of our continued efforts. We hope to share them with the larger community that includes people interested in the built environment, and education, prospective students, alumni and professionals from the habitat industry. This publication represents the work produced by around 820 of our students from 63 L2, L3 studio units taught by 110 faculty members and supported by 72 teaching associates and teaching assistants.

We wish to express our profound thanks to all the unit tutors, teaching associates and assistants, students and staff involved in this effort. We also extend our sincere thanks to all our reviewers, jurors and guest speakers who have positively influenced the education of our young promising practitioners.

A typical architectural project comprises five steps: drawings, development, application, execution, and supervision. We generally describe them as conceptualization, design development, preparation of working drawings, estimation, and implementation. These key steps comprise the pre-construction stage of any architectural design project. The prime focus of this studio is to provide Real-life exposure to architectural practice and construction processes. It shall concentrate on the systematic approach towards the development and execution of an idea, the in-between procedures, and tools (ensuring smooth execution of the project). The complete studio has been divided into three sections of design development, working drawings, and construction project estimation. This course has been specifically designed for architects who will eventually work with contractors and clients for their design and budgeting purposes. Students successfully finishing this course will be exposed to the complete architectural/construction procedure, starting from the project to the execution stage. To make the most relevant concepts, real-life exposure, guest lectures, and case studies will be specified.

In the discipline of architecture, there are two kinds of spaces: one, which is static whose spatial quality shifts with the changes in the activities that take place in it, with the changing nature of light, with a change in its furniture layout, with the presence of various movement patterns and so on. Here the user, along with other natural external forces is in motion and the built form is stationary; two, which is dynamic in nature and transforms its spatial quality by moving/shifting/transforming itself through its envelope and/or the elements that make that very space. Here, the user is stationary while the built form is in motion. This studio primarily focused on the designing of the latter kind of spaces. Space Kinematics is at the intersection of space composition, spacemaking elements, spatial experience, mechanical understanding, and movements in nature as well as objects. The primary intention of this design studio was to design and develop space-making elements that move, slide, rotate, pivot, or display a combination of all to serve a specific purpose. The studio focused on developing logic of assembly processes for the designed elements and sequential understanding of construction techniques for the students

The Climate Responsive Architecture studio is aimed at sensitizing students towards climate by understanding comfort zones within a building in its given climatic context and investigating ways to create architecture that emerges out of Passive Solar principles. The Studio demands a resolution of the building keeping in view a strong climate response. So essentially, the design problem is to design a building that exhibits an Environment responsive architecture. The studio works through an understanding of local climate, passive architectural features and material studies. Study initiates with Vernacular architecture of the surrounding and international passive solar buildings to gain insight of Passive solar technologies, their integration into a built language and use of local material. The design problem was that of an architect’s studio residence that exhibits both day and night usage. So as to explore a wider gamut of climate responsive architectural strategies, sites were taken in three different climate zones; Cold and Dry (Leh), Hot and Humid (Mangalore) and Composite Extreme (Jodhpur).Material selection and Form level ideas will be validated through climate analysis and thermal simulation software, so as to resolve efficient thermal and light conditions in buildings within their envelopes.

Walking in the streets of our locality we often don’t realize what public spaces we have around us. Why don’t we usually know the different learning or activity spaces around us? Is it because we cannot relate to them physically? Or because they are inaccessible? In the time of pandemic, we realized the importance of optimizing the resources and making them as multifunctional as possible. The Learning spaces– schools, colleges and educational systems, are suffering a lot, currently. With time, the views on educational systems– “schools” have been changing and now is the time to make them into informal learning spaces, which are beyond the basic learning needs. The studio focused on learning spaces that are beyond schooling and “multifunctional”, and have the potential to become the centre in the neighbourhood. Learning spaces were designed for the 5 to 15 years age group. The sites were located in urban and semi-urban areas of the immediate locality of Individual. The studio helped understand the scale and proportion of the required functions in the Learning spaces. It aimed at designing spaces with climatic concerns and appropriate construction technology, structural system, and material order. Students explored the multifunctional aspect of neighbourhood spaces which are accessible by all.

This studio aimed at looking at the design practice to comprehend the execution of an idea and how a design is essentially a sum of its details. The way in which these details work together in a synchronized manner creates meaningful architecture. The idea was to find an underlying intent and find clarity with reason in the design process through details. The role of construction practices is also of the utmost importance. Being able to articulate an idea in a drawing is equally essential to conceptualizing. To begin this journey students took up an existing building and deconstructed it to understand design intentions, materials, structure, details and services. This was documented with detailed drawings which proved as a precursor to their execution drawing set. Design program of the studio focused on creating an incubation centre within Gujarat University campus, promoting start-ups and innovators to take their ideas and skills forward. Students designed facilities like workshops, conference areas, and accommodation spaces for 5 persons with a small pantry. One of the exercises running parallel to the studio, encouraged students to find details in ongoing sites and learn the execution aspects first hand.

This studio introduced students to the basics of Space making. In the initial stages, students explored various characteristics of space making through systems of movement such as order, path-space relationships, axis, hierarchy, rhythm, scale, sequential progressions, degree of enclosure etc. Students learnt to configure spatial characteristics through a kit of architectural elements to create varied spatial constructs. They demonstrated their learnings by undertaking a project of designing a pavilion located within landscaped environs of Kamati Baug at Vadodara. The design program of a pavilion accommodates multiple programs such as primary health centre, book studio,crèche, cafe, dance studio, amphitheater etc. The design process guided the students to evolve their individual responses to natural boundaries such as rivers, landscapes and existing built structures such as Planetarium, Museum, Band Stand, Toy Train, Amphitheatre etc. located within Kamati Baug. The exercise further tried to weave together individual pavilions within a spatial narrative through visual and physical linkages. The ‘Design Fundamentals of Space making’ exercise was inspired by the Space vocabulary exercises conducted earlier by Prof. Gurdev Singh along with the studio tutors.

The making of our everyday life is not an isolated activity but involves living with other lives and things. Stones and tables are as much alive as are the trees and the birds. Our everyday life is an entanglement of things. And it is this entanglement that constitutes a place. So how do we make things well? Or how do we make places of well-being? Where things share an inner likeness with other things, a relation of sympathy. Like the one shared between a day lily and a hummingbird or the hand and a door handle. This ‘shaping each other’ leads us to the necessity of craft and imagination in the making of things and places. While craft is concerned with the structure of things, imagination is a spirited flight into the world of dreams. But when both these apparently opposing actions do intertwine, there emerges a song, a creative entanglement emerging out of a graceful correspondence between the material of engagement, the action of tools and the activity of dreaming. To be able to grasp this correspondence the learner is placed with the requisite tools, in a practical situation, and asked to pay attention to how ‘this’ feels, or how ‘that’ looks or sounds’ to notice those subtleties of texture that are all-important to good judgment and the successful practice of a craft.

Sanal Thathapuzha Sagar Trivedi The studio is about understanding, exploring and learning Architectural design as a dialogue between body, space and surroundings. The studio aims to understand the nature of the institution and its relationship with the land and the program. The studio encourages students in self-learning and different ways of exploring the architectural program and design rooted in their own skills. Shreyas campus has grown over a period of time. It is situated on ‘Shreyas Tekro’ one of the small hills in Ahmedabad. The site offers a diverse range of land, flora and fauna. This gives a variety of physical contexts for each student to observe, understand and respond. Existing architectural context of buildings designed by Balkrishna Doshi and Kamal Mangaldas creates an interesting opportunity to understand responses to context. The Studio focuses on two main aspects. Program making and Understanding the place. Program making encourages students to go deep into the philosophy of Shreyas and understand their current requirements. Understanding the place will explore different methods of looking and experiencing the site. The studio program will emerge from different student group’s exploration of program making and experience of the site.

During its emergence, creative work calls for two simultaneous foci - the world and the self; and as a consequence of this double focus every profound work is essentially a microcosmic representation of the world and an unconscious self-portrait at the same time. The Thinking Hand, Juhani Pallasma As architects we don’t start with a blank slate. Consciously or subconsciously we bring our histories, memories and dimensions of our ‘selves’ into the creative process. It is therefore important to acknowledge and access the diverse experiences that have formed us. Starting with the design of small spaces of solitude, intimacy & congregation in a subterranean site, moving on to transform it into a home and culminating with the transformation of the home into a small institution, students investigated the relationship between the self and the world. Two of the several questions that the studio addressed are: How is the creative process informed by experiences and memories? and, What is the relationship between body, memory, emotion and space? Students learnt to apply the method of accessing their experiences & memories through drawings, associational maps, collages & models and integrate them into the design process across different scales.

Smit Vyas The studio explored ways through which outdated buildings can become sites for creative thinking about construction processes. It introduced new programmatic requirements in an old precinct, necessitating actions of repair, replacement or introduction of alternative parts. Through this, new formal, structural and material conditions were tested against the old ones in an attempt to find a wholesome architectural expression. As a result, the play of building elements, systems and technologies was anchored into the work by clearly responding to the given spatial and functional conditions, while at the same time, freeing the author to exercise personal imagination and desire. Undertaking a small renovation project, allowed students to gain knowledge of different agencies involved and explore a much wider range of design development processes. Each student, along with formulating a new schema, also learnt staircase details, door & window details, flooring drawings and toilet design. Above all, students learnt to see existing buildings from the point of view of structural possibilities and scope for intervention and also developed skills for identifying building language and developing its grammar through the detailing of architectural elements.

The studio aimed at imparting the basic knowledge of local and global forms with respect to structural actions. It dealt with association of space and tectonics by developing the understanding of material, form and structure in such a way that students used this understanding in their design to integrate the structure and construction along with spatial qualities to achieve tectonic expression. New materials like fibers, new technologies like 3-D printing and advanced methods for computing for parametric are becoming common. At the same time natural materials like bamboo and conventional materials like mud and compressed blocks are also finding their way in application with modern methods. Architects need to equip themselves to exploit the potential of these materials and methods, for which conceptual understanding of structural systems and form is very essential. This studio equipped students to design and detail out meaningful forms using fundamentals of structural actions and material properties along with construction technology; this process is essential for going from part to whole.

Yatin Pandya Space making is much more than an act of building. It has emotions and expressions. Design is a dialogue involving a designer who encodes messages and clues while the perceiver decodes the same. As space designers, we conceive and as onlookers, users perceive. This module focused on this most fundamental phenomenon of space conception and space perception. It endeavored to understand fundamentals of space design as well as explored the role of space making elements such as floor, column, wall, door, window, stair, ceiling etc. Through this studio, the impact of basic design decisions of siting and location, form and massing, movement and organizational structure, choice of elements, material and technique of construction, finishes and entablature were understood. The course focused on elements of nature such as light, vegetation, water and land as spatial elements and their role in space making. Using these as basic tools of space making, a space that is interactive with its perceiver, expressive of emotions as well as experientially engaging, was designed. The module aimed at designing an emotionally charged campus such as a memorial, museum or spiritual center amidst nature dominated settings and deriving architectural resolutions for appropriate spatial narratives.

In February 2018, La péniche Louise-Catherine sank under the River Seine after a period of intense rain. This seemingly anonymous 70m long ferrocement barge is a lesser known work of Le Corbusier. In 2008, Louise-Catherine was designated a historic monument by the Direction régionale des affaires culturelles. Patrons of Le Corbusier in Ahmedabad are devastated by the deterioration of the vessel and are planning a Festival marking the 100th anniversary of the Louise-Catherine, in Ahmedabad in 2029. This will include building a full scale replica vessel to be moored on the Sabarmati River in front of the Mill Owners’ Building. This Studio designed a living museum for the barge as under construction and the barge as a completed urban artifact. Proposals housed the construction of the barge and supporting festival facilities on the river edge. The river intervention was imagined as a series of props that sit within or atop a floating dry dock on the Sabarmati: both a temporary boatyard and living museum. This will enable the remaking of the vessel to be a spectacle for participants, curious observers and the city. Between the barge and the Mill Owners’ building, we designed a series of connecting facilities to celebrate the legacy of Le Corbusier in Ahmedabad

Our studio investigated schools, learning how architecture supports pedagogical innovation and improves the experiences of students. We departed from a social perspective, noting the vast spatial and programmatic differences between government, low cost and high cost, private schools. We used an iterative process of design and analysis, to make proposals for low cost schools. Students transformed existing Ahmedabad schools which require urgent improvements. They responded not only to the current situation but were asked to address further programmatic requirements in different phases and assessed based on how they responded to these shifting contingencies in the brief. Analysis was conducted using software developed by the Space Syntax Lab at the Bartlett UCL. This is not a parametric tool. It is used to understand how spatial planning enables types of social interaction in buildings. By the end of this exercise, students made a proposal for the selected building which comprised a new comprehensive pedagogical model in relation to spatial structures. They also produced a stimulating architectural inquiry into the possibilities of working on existing structures with remarkable budget constraints and complex social necessities.

Our surroundings are predominantly made through designed actions that are governed by our need for comfort and capacity to alter natural ecosystems. However, have these actions resulted in an environment that we are willing to accept as a desirable future? Disruptive, innovative thoughts and actions are required to create a future which is convivial. One has to be able to situate oneself within the existing ecosystem and imagine new ways of retrofitting built spaces that recognize the interdependencies between people and the environment. This studio explored how small, personal, designed interventions can initiate a possibility of change, in the way we live and in the environments we create. It was based on the philosophy that responsible and prudent consumption of resources and energy can not only create a better living environment but also a better society. Students immersed themselves in a 1 sq. km. precinct of Ahmedabad and studied and observed the existing ecosystem to ideate architectural interventions that can be retrofitted to create desirable futures. They were encouraged to work on architectural designs for resilience, to minimize negative impact and to celebrate environmental information.

The studio started with one’s own neighborhood, as its point of departure. Each student understood and formed the site respectively using their most intimate knowledge and memories of the neighborhood as notions of context were investigated at urban, architectural and human scales. We challenged the students to understand the multifaceted way we can represent and narrate issues that help design architecture for and off the city. Understanding tools of narration and representations as key instruments of starting a design, our focus was to generate architecture from the ‘outside’, where the idea of the public realm/ space, social identity and ritualized time become parameters that are engaged with. We sought an architecture that reflected notions of preservation, cultural memory and identity as it simultaneously drove us to engage with technological progress and new systems of production/consumption that imposed programmatic variability. Beyond great architecture as an end goal, the emphasis of the studio was also to understand design as a process that generated questions: to address the present as we build for the future; to address themes of identity and global exchange as we understand and inflect our most intimate spatial and cultural practices

All arts are essential expressions of human existence. Performance Arts in particular, have evolved as a primary manifestation of their respective cultures and subsequently have a profound impact on the functioning of these cultures. The collective nature of performing arts renders them public, making it vital to understand the role of performing arts in socio-cultural development and built environments that actively generate the specific image and vision of the place and the city. A chronological examination of performance spaces reveals that they tend to occur progressively as technically advanced, closed isolated boxes through time, enabling one to create and conduct performances in the most imaginative manner. In that respect, performance spaces are as important a tool for a good performance as a well-tuned instrument or an artist. While their typology requires performance spaces to be a closed box, they are also inherently public spaces. The challenge then is to be able to house this instrument along with public spaces in their respective contexts. This initiated inquiry into the nature of spaces, which generate and enable environments where performances can occur in a specific context and, in turn, into how performances and the spaces that host them influence their contexts.

Vernacular architecture is expressed as the original architecture: arché-techné . It was generated by all cultures, in all places and responded to the basic need of people to adapt to their own habitat. It is made with the available resources, to find shelter and to highlight the respective cultural representations. It is ancient and contemporary, urban and rural, rustic and sophisticated, large and small. The understanding and application of the values of vernacular architecture offers solutions to the contemporary discipline for the construction of an appropriate and sustainable built environment. Six principles of vernacular architecture were presented as tools for the studio exercise: 1. The specific creation. 2. The organic (fractal) production. 3. The participation of the user in the creative process. 4. The progressive development (incremental). 5. The egoless design. 6. The building as a tool for the empirical transmission of knowledge. The studio aimed to generate a new vernacular architecture (NVA) appropriate project. With this in mind, the semester was divided into three phases: 1.The analysis of vernacular architectures of the world 2.The identification of a real, necessary program in the Indian territory 3.The development of a NVA project.

This act of re-imagining our public spaces can possibly be derived through a focus on experience using the structure of a fictional narrative. Storytelling has, historically, been a powerful tool to communicate and disseminate meanings and values. Art forms like theatre, cinema and now installations use storytelling as a central device in their process. Architecture has always claimed to communicate meaning and yet, the idea of narratives in architecture remains limited to select theoretical expressions. The aim of this studio was to engage with the idea of the narrative and seek interpretations for a new imagination of public spaces exploring new typologies and hybrid programs within the expressions of the built form. Students were expected to seek out issues of concern and define their project in terms of program, site and brief. Interpretations of intimate connections to the site, integrated with core concerns, were presented as storyboards, drawings, sketches and models.

The idea that work is bound to be anchored in a corporate office succumbed during the ongoing COVID crises, making us think about integrating workplace at a neighborhood scale. Unlike mono functional and generic office buildings located in CBD’s, the unit aimed at testing workplace typologies within civic environments, supported by community/civic institutions offering an ecosystem, wherein individuals can tap into networks of collaborations offered within their surroundings. Freelancers are no more isolated, small businesses have the flexibility to expand and shrink as required. The focus is to attract a young workforce within a rich urban environment, with enough to offer even after the traditional working hours. The current knowledge economy only fosters collaborations such as bridging services, interdisciplinary research and the creative clusters. The unit speculated on the cross overs among such entities as potential drivers for change within cities. For the Monsoon-21 semester, the site had been identified in the western Suburb of Vile Parle in Mumbai. The designated plots sit along a water channel, skirting the northern periphery of Juhu Vile Parle Development Scheme (JVPD), a prominent residential neighborhood within suburban Mumbai.

Sachin Soni Nolli’s map of Rome holds unique significance for architects and urbanists these days. It presents dialectical relationships between buildings and their milieu. It counters a tendency to see buildings as isolated objects outside the very context that gives them life and meaning. Inspired by Nolli’s map, this studio focused on developing a conceptual and critical approach to architectural design where buildings are not seen as ‘isolated events’ but are deeply and intrinsically embedded in the fabric of the city. The studio aimed to reimagine typologies of civic/infrastructure projects which constitute a major part of urban development in Indian cities. Most of these projects do not respond to their immediate context due to conventional architectural approaches and end up becoming inaccessible parts of the city. The objective of this studio was to architecturally reinterpret existing types of civic buildings/ infrastructure in cities, so that they are well integrated with immediate and broad urban context. Based on strong contextual awareness, the studio investigated and explored various programmatic strategies and architectural alternatives which make projects more accessible and public in character.

Vishwanath Kashikar It is 2025. ‘The Pandemic’ is forcing a big rethink. The first tentative steps of restructuring society and reimagining relationships with other living entities are breaking ground. Sustainability advocates have already been demanding a change in the way we live. Architecture is not immune to this churning. The separation of home and workspace– a gift of industrialization is finally being seriously questioned. You have been invited by a group of like-minded individuals to design a commune/habitat that will act as a beacon for the future of the urban environment. Due to the experimental and uncertain nature of the project, two iterations of the project are planned based on your interpretation of nature and society. The studio commenced with a set of videos/ readings on predictions for the future of humans on earth. Simultaneously, we discussed the history of program based building types. The main design exercise equipped one to respond to changing context conditions using an iterative design method. Two iterations were proposed, followed by a recombining of the two to create the final proposal.

Jinal Shah The exploration and application of digital fabrication processes have opened new realms of possibilities for architectural expression. In recent times, these techniques have gained momentum to develop complex forms using different materials. The course intended to explore the potential of Additive Manufacturing technology (3D printing) and computational tools to evolve a design process and innovative construction methods, and develop products/interior architecture elements within a defined context. The course equipped the students with the skill of coding and of digital fabrication processes to design, develop, analyze, resolve and construct scaled prototypes of their element. The course was divided into three modules: Exploration, Application, and Making with each module focusing on developing different digital, analytical, and hands-on learning skills. Module 1: Analyzing complex geometry, developing different interlocking systems using computational tools, and understanding the principles of additive manufacturing to construct. Module 2: Understanding the site context, anthropometry, function, and developing different forms and interlocking systems for a defined product/interior architecture element. Module 3: Resolving the details and making a prototype

Rebecca Reubens Most mainstream design praxis centers on the trinity of wood, metal and plastic. Within the broad scope of these materials as well, there are very specific design choices that traditionally dovetail with mass-production and the industrial paradigm. This studio explored alternatives to these mainstream and industrialized materials, with the aim of expanding the designer’s material and technique palette. Non-mainstream and nonindustrial materials such as natural fibers, shell, bamboo, terracotta and textiles are interesting materials that exist in our natural environment, but are not used extensively because they are not part of traditional industrial paradigm linked material palettes. There are also several materials which are ‘waste’ or ‘surplus’ from mainstream industrial manufacturing; this studio also included these materials. We explored these materials as viable alternatives for contemporary interior elements including furniture, lighting and accessories. A series of hands-on material exploration allowed each student to develop a prototype which leveraged the understanding of new material possibilities.

The design of products to meet the demands of built spaces are challenging. The products have to face the challenges of lifestyle and technology changes. The studio introduced the design process aimed at finding solutions in different domains of work, home and other spaces . The modules in the studio enhanced the learning of materials (metals), manufacturing processes, and human factors. The design process was introduced and practiced as students applied learned fundamental principles to multiple three dimensional forms, structures, and products. Students used extensive digital and physical model making and presentation software in the initial stages (2D and 3D). Students addressed the historical context of their designs as they practiced critical thinking, research, problem solving, and aesthetic refinement. Projects required sketches, models, written reports and verbal presentations of design concepts. Students were required to present their individual creative process through the exploration and manipulation of materials and methods to express a visual response to a theme or content. Digital media examples exposed them to a variety of materials and methods as means to stimulate curiosity, exploration, invention and solution finding, and to develop an aesthetic eye and personal vision.

Hamid Raj ‘Remodelling residences’; the focus of this studio was space planning and organization. The students were required to: understand the users and stakeholders; respond to an actual site and its context; to respond to climate; and identify and choose an appropriate structural system. We studied prototypical ‘Pol houses’ to understand and appreciate the traditional vernacular house and utilize and incorporate its wisdom in the new design. The task was to design a residence for a family including five people. The site was located in the pol of the old city of Ahmedabad; the site was a pol house in a completely dilapidated and broken state; some elements such as windows, doors, wooden columns, beams, joists, staircase etc. were salvaged. These salvaged elements are supposed to be reused in the new design. Students designed a residence for a family in the given site keeping in mind the individual needs of the family members while responding to the site context and the climatic conditions. The students had to make an overall design which reused the salvaged elements from the old structure, and they proposed a structural system and planned the interior spaces along with furniture layouts.

Gouthama D M Perhaps the most famous exercise in tiny space design is the Le Corbusier-designed 16 sq.m.Cabanon in which the Swiss architect explored the ‘Modular’– an understanding of the fundamentality of human scale. Today, the tiny spaces movement appears at the intersection of our changed outlook on materialism, ecoconsciousness and affordability. Tiny spaces can exhibit multiplicity in usage in camper vans, mobile homes, traditional singlefamily residences, calamity relief structures and quarantine shelters during pandemics. Whether promoting minimalist lifestyle or providing exclusive weekend rental spaces in the countryside in harmony with nature, tiny spaces offer a range of benefits. With the decreasing floor area in the urban scenario, optimization of interior spaces is extremely relevant. The studio dealt with the design challenge of planning and detailing the interiors of tiny spaces, with a size less than 400 sq. ft. Students had to conceptualize the multiplicity of uses for the given brief and site, and arrive at interior space planning design. Students, thus, worked on TINY residential units. Creative transformation of spaces and designing efficiency were focused upon.

As designers, artists, and creative individuals we are poets at heart. How can we design without romanticizing about space? The fact is that poetry does not exist in the books in the library. Poetry is in the journey of reading the book. You change as a person in that journey. Poetry is the encounter of the reader with the book, the discovery of the book. For the monsoon semester of 2021 made the book Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard as our North Star. Various exercises in the semester responded to the 10 chapters of the book. Each chapter of the book was read-reread-analyzed-torn apart-critiqued during each week. The text provided visual genesis for the design exercises throughout the semester. Students and faculty conducted periodic readings together to interpret and understand various meanings of the text. Students were given specific exercises to broaden their repertoire of elements of space which helped them to build and construct spaces. All exercises were done keeping the text of the book in mind. The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard places special emphasis on the interior domestic space and its components: the various rooms and the different types of furniture in it. The studio was informed by this emphasis.

Jay Thakkar Vernacular can be stated as ‘for the people, by the people’. In this studio, the context of vernacular was textile crafts and local cultural practices across Gujarat. This studio unit intended to involve the students with various textile-based craft practices, designers and organizations across India and Europe to expand their understanding of the subject. Through the process of craft-design collaboration, the larger purpose was to create interactive educational games and graphic novels based on the narratives of these practices, in-depth research and field visits. These interactive materials were generated through the amalgamation of interdisciplinary fields like game design, graphic design, storytelling, and textile and narrative crafts. This unit was part of a four-year-long project: Threads of Innovation (TOI), an international academic collaboration between the Faculty of Design, CEPT University and the Department of Architecture and Technology NTNU, Norway spearheaded by project coordinator Jay Thakkar. The unit drew references from the research conducted over the years by the tutor and his research team at Design Innovation and Craft Resource Centre (DICRC). As part of this project, 5 students were elected to go to Norway during the SWS program

Spaces for children often follow a set of stereotypes dictated not by what children want or like but rather by an adult’s perception of a child’s needs based on the latter’s own biases and insecurities. The focus of this studio was to negotiate and strike a balance between a child’s and adult’s vision for a built space in the context of a Primary School. Learning being the central activity in schools, this studio dealt with developing a Spatial Pedagogy to facilitate learning while placing the spotlight on the needs of children. Students researched existing educational pedagogies, questioned them & developed their unique pedagogies based on which the design for the school was developed. An added dimension was to explore the idea of primary school design in two different site contexts: rural & urban. While the key question investigated through the studio was ‘what do children want with respect to the spaces they occupy?’ students also delved into other aspects such as are children in urban centres different from those in rural centres?’ and ‘what role does a school play in an urban community v/s rural community?’ A key component of the studio was to create a Child Anthropometry data bank and use the same to arrive at spatial and elemental dimensions in the overall design of the school.

Shailesh Manke The aim of the studio was to use orthographic and isometric grid to develop 3D surfaces with Origamic Architecture (also referred to as Kirigami, Pop-up, Ullagami) as the main tool from a flat sheet of paper, acrylic or metal. Origamic architecture (OA) involves the three-dimensional reproduction of architecture, geometric patterns, everyday objects, or other images, on various scales, using cut-out and folded paper, usually thin paperboard. The basic premise was to use a small card size medium to visualize and develop 3D surfaces to be transformed into kinetic surfaces for spaces. The 3D surfaces can be interpreted as space making elements like light fixtures, furniture and kinetic surfaces for vertical and horizontal planes. The idea behind this studio was to work with folded models in various materials to arrive at solutions. The semester primarily had a hands-on approach. Use of technology wherever required was appropriated to the primary aim Works of pioneers like Mashahiro Chatani, Ingrid Silakus and Paul Jackson beca are the reference from where the explorations of this subject were carried forward

Shikha Parmar The focus of this unit was to design a shelter for a group of travel enthusiasts, embedded into the elaborate landscape of dissecting valleys, memory and sensation of Sigiriya, Sri Lanka. One had to rethink the idea of ‘shelter’ to diversify interior experiences of daily activities. The process attempted to derive both pragmatic and more importantly a sensorial experience distilling the characteristics of a tropical region for an appropriate spatial narrative and selected user group. Contextual elements and the need of the user, informed the use of spatial elements and configuration of spaces were explored through models. As part of the pedagogic method, a tool box was derived with relevant materials and systems. The studio attempted to conceptualize and evolve the grammar of interior spaces manifested through the nature of materials while integrating order of activities. Major milestones of this process were conceptualization, planning organization and spatial integrity. The students were encouraged to vividly communicate the central idea of the proposal through relevant presentation techniques that add profound inspiration to traveler’s explorations during their stay.

A boundary does not define the interior; it is the order, array and number of objects which reside within a space that truly define the character of the interior. The studio aimed to develop an inside-out approach towards spatial design by questioning the ‘part to whole’ relationships between objects, structure, envelope, and site. The studio aimed to disrupt our conventional relationship with architectural compositions and rethink the correlations between familiar objects, materials and it’s assemblies. How can this renewed understanding of objects give rise to unconventional kinships and hybridities in the form and performance of our spaces? The studio explored speculative design procedures by understanding the potential embedded in digital and analog mediums. Cycles of making and thinking with these mediums played an important role in the development of individual projects. The students also researched the history of the workspace and its evolution towards the contemporary place of work. This manifested into the proposal for a place of work and the audience it engenders, through the adaptive reuse of a warehouse in Ahmedabad. The studio helped students develop a critical attitude towards questions surrounding interiority and effectively communicate their design ideas. It equipped them to develop cohesive translations from conceptual ideas into a working proposal through speculative drawings, representations, and models.

The idea of an architectural form, function and quality of space is continually changing but the fundamentals of structures remain unchanged. The good structural systems are organizations of responsible components sharing respective duties within the whole and forming strong connections with each other. Through this studio, students developed a critical understanding about material properties, structural elements and systems. As detailing is the articulation of the structure and construction, it became the core of the studio. The patterns were arranged in three main groups: Function, Constructability, and Aesthetics, corresponding to the three major concerns of the student. In guiding a design from idea to reality, architects design a set of details that show how structure will be put together. The aesthetics are only a small fraction of good design and stability and functionality require a deep understanding of how elements come together. This studio helped bring the elements together with a well fleshed-out design that communicated accurately at all levels of the construction process.

The studio required students to produce drawings for design problems considering their learning from relevant exercises conducted during the semester tenure. The process required students to: 1. Study various determining properties of a construction material and in response to the design problem, evolve their own material palette 2. Conceptualize & develop interior layout and various elements of interior space (seating element, working table element, storage, partitions, false ceiling layout, flooring layout etc) 3. Put nomenclature in the drawing with essential dimensions, specifications and surface finishes 4. Via studio discussion understand the sequence and method of construction as undertaken on site and align drawing production. 5. Generate 3D models (physical and/or digital) and walkthroughs to demonstrate the design decisions in form of built spaces Final outcome was detailed working drawings (plans, sections, elevations) for their design and detailed drawings for identified elements of interior space (as mentioned in point # 2)

Retail design is a service oriented industry where the client has got a very specific requirement of their space with a primary purpose of displaying and selling their products. It is very important that the spatial design of such spaces creates a lasting impact on the customer along with promoting an enjoyable and hassle-free shopping experience. Retail spaces hence need to be specially fashioned according to the kind of product being sold in that space, necessitating the concept of brand building. Brand building, though appears to be an exercise in marketing, is equally important an exercise in spatial design as the spaces in which brands operate: their branded environments are their most powerful touch points. These spaces provide an opportunity of converting the intangible aspects of a brand into tangible customer experiences. Bringing together these two ideas of ‘Retailing’ and ‘Brand Building’ the studio focused on developing design approaches and products for a leading Furniture retail brand. Students researched and designed an International Furniture Company and developed a display system for their products.

Dexter Pereira The focus of the studio was on the detailed design of interior spaces and elements framed by critical interrogation of key debates, positions and practices in conservation & reuse. It explored the notion of socio-cultural context while developing an appreciation for built fabric with heritage values. The core of the studio stressed upon creating meaning of place, in being sensitive to its roots while superimposing a new function with respect to user experience. Initial weeks of the studio focused on introducing and sensitizing students about the meaning of adaptive reuse by undertaking case studies and specific research exercises (which included socio-cultural, contextual & regulatory aspects of adaptive reuse). Students then explored in-depth reasons & attitudes revolving around user experience, material use and tectonics using models explaining interventions & inferences. This combined knowledge was put to test via a series of time problems exploring spatial possibilities. Post spatial explorations, students reflected upon their learning & cohesively designed with respect to a given hospitality program on a heritage site.

Mohammad Ayazkhan In architecture and design, the design process typically starts with defining the ‘Shell/ Architecture’ of the building as a first step. The factors affecting the ‘Shell’/‘Architecture’ are, by and large, ‘external’ in nature such as: climate, privacy. The idea of ‘Shelter’ dominates the process of design and plays a crucial role in generating the form of the building. The interior elements are generated as the next step in the process in a manner that justifies the requirements ‘imposed’ by the ‘shell’. In this process, the ‘architecture’/‘shell’ becomes a dominating force in determining interior layout and interior elements. The intent of this unit was to find a synthesis in the design process such that the ‘boundary’ between ‘architecture’ and ‘Interior Architecture’ gets dissolved, to pave the way for a built form that is primarily a resultant of ‘Interior Architecture’. In order to achieve this, the studio focused on a process that seeks to ‘reverse’ the above mentioned traditional design process. In this studio-unit, students were encouraged to evolve interior elements and systems as the first step in the design process; the ‘skin’/architecture of the project was generated as the next step by synthesizing the conflicting requirements generated by the ‘interior’ and ‘exterior’ forces

Hospitality Design informed by the local context of Architecture, exterior or interior, can be considered to be a result of an appropriate response to a physical context which can be summarized as “Form Follows Context”. A deeper understanding would include “culture”. The studio explored the interface between interior architecture and its “context” in hospitality design. If the design of a hotel could showcase the context, it would be an enriching experience for the visitor, while boosting the local economy and preserving the local culture. The understanding of “critical regionalism” is necessary since it will define the manner in which local architecture, interior and culture will be studied and reinterpreted. Hospitality design that references the local context has always existed but a new genre was created when architects like Geoffrey Bawa and Kerry Hill designed hotels in Sri Lanka and South East Asia. The endeavour of this studio was to ask how architecture can help make a visit memorable? For the final outcome, students were asked to design the interior of designated areas of a hotel and to present their design in the form of 3D rendered images.

As cities become denser, resources deplete, economies recalibrate and unprecedented events disrupt the normal, traditional structures of working and collaborating. The global pandemic has made us realize and re-question the modes of working and collaborating. In the immediate present, the workspace dynamics are altering globally to become decentralized and grow inward, in turn, reconfiguring the interiors for the diverse, the shared and the active exchange. In this studio, we looked at the deviants to the normal that cause certain connections as possible solutions to the new ways of working or ‘co-working’. Key concepts of ‘community’, ‘wellness’ and collaboration became the launching points to understand and define the new workspace interiority. Creating interiors that have a design language derived out of qualitative and metaphorical allusion to aspects of ‘work space’ were used as a primary design tool. Each initial exercise delved into the aspects of spatial environments driven by narratives, into intangible elements driven by tectonic studies as well as systems and into materiality driven by services and material atmospheres.

Ruchi Mehta With the rise of e-commerce and omnichannel retailing and ubiquity of “brands” in the last few decades, the relevance as well as design approaches for “retailing” and “brand building” have evolved significantly. These novel challenges are demanding new approaches to retail store design. These are the challenges that tomorrow’s interior designers will be facing in their professional careers. To address this evolving nature of retail store design, this studio focused on design of a variety of retail formats through the lens of brand building. The students selected their own design problems/brand that is either expanding its product/service portfolio; is a new and growing brand; is a brand that needs a flagship store or an experience centre to deal with its omni-channel presence; or is an old brand that requires revamping of its image. The students’ projects commenced with an interpretation of the brand’s overall strategy, selection of the site and development of the program for an appropriate retail format. They then produced spatial design solutions for creating brand-centric customer experiences and presented the design with a complete set of schematic drawings, models and views and graphics to communicate the strategies.

For many of us during childhood, a casual mention of a visit to the doctor’s clinic was enough to cause a pang of anxiety. The long boring wait, the dreary walls and the impossibly high furniture of the clinic, would exacerbate our restlessness. Propped on a cold steel chair, we were intimidated by the doctor’s examination and the sternness of the matronly staff. Research indicates that mental well-being is critical to healing. Roger S. Ulrich, a noted researcher explains, ‘Alleviating patient stress is a significant clinical goal because stress is both a negative health outcome in itself and has a variety of detrimental psychological, physical and behavioural effects that worsen other outcomes.’ A warm, familiar and an engaging environment puts children at ease and helps them heal. Opportunities to interact with other children and undertake age-appropriate activities, bring about some semblance of normalcy for them. Designing for children requires us to humanize the hospital experience while maintaining functionality and efficiency. ‘Healing children’ aspires to conceive healing environments by putting ‘empathy’ at the core of its efforts. It was an opportunity to understand the world from children’s perspective and design humane gestures that touch their lives in unique ways.

From Utopias to Heterotopias Migrant Housing: Values of Time, Density and Culture Focus Planning and Organizing Unit Assistant Zeel Patel

3 rd year Aswin Joshy Ayushi Goyal Juhi Desai Mani Chauhan Mehul Saily Moksha Shah Pooja Shah Shaurya Singh Srushti Kottai Yogan Shah

Imran Mansuri The course introduced concepts of `housingfor-mass’ across space and time. The evolution of housing settlements through linking and stacking; their processes, determinants/ generations, and resulting patterns were explored in their respective contexts exploring the balance between order and complexity. The idea was to create an adaptive habitat for migrant communities associated with the very dynamic and socially interactive live-work environment. Here, “adaptability” has been visualized and represented as a real space, accommodative of people from diverse cultures and traditions over time. The spaces, thus created have their own characteristics; with occupants having opportunities to alter these spaces in certain extended patterns. Eventually, this fluctuating habitat, over time must be able to maintain a balance between generated orders and identified contextual complexities. The students learned to analyze and identify issues with the linking and stacking of modular housing units. This helped them in planning and organizing various ensembles in response to the open spaces and adjacent urban context. The students were also able to explore housing clusters & ensembles by balancing the underlying orders and complexities.

The late 1800s saw a proliferation of household manuals aimed at describing housekeeping, cooking and dining practices for the Victorian and Edwardian Households, and with the Empire, to British colonies in the rest of the world. In the studio, we rethought the ways we cook and dine with particular attention to kitchen and table arrangement, dining table and spatial organization of the rooms while articulating what has become the mundane culture/ consumption of food. The aim was to document and create ‘manuals’ for cooking and dining, and to catalogue and observe transformations in current cooking and dining practices. Further, we addressed scale and cyclical notion of food distribution, consumption and dissipation while confirming the current imbalance created between rural and urban. ‘The emptying of the countryside is having a more drastic impact than the intensification of the city. While the city becomes more itself, the countryside is transforming into something new’ (Rem Koolhaas, Countryside, 2020). Design projects must be strategic towards the distribution of functions that support production and logistics, for spatial organization for culture/consumption and for conceptualizing sustainability within collection and dissipation of food waste to bring it back to the production cycle

Our studio investigated schools, learning how architecture supports pedagogical innovation and improves the experiences of students. We departed from a social perspective, noting the vast spatial and programmatic differences between government, low cost and high cost private schools. We used an iterative process of design and analysis, to make proposals for low cost schools. Students transformed existing Ahmedabad schools which required urgent improvements. They responded not only to the current situation but were asked to address further programmatic requirements in different phases and were assessed on how they respond to these shifting contingencies in the brief. Analysis was conducted using software developed by the Space Syntax Lab at the Bartlett UCL. This is not a parametric tool. It is used to understand how spatial planning enables types of social interaction in buildings. By the end of this exercise, students made a proposal for the selected building which comprised a new comprehensive pedagogical model in relation to spatial structures. They also produced a stimulating architectural inquiry into the possibilities of working on existing structures with remarkable budget constraints and complex social necessities.

As transit has become an integral part of our daily life, Transit places have become integral parts of our cities as they are Public spaces that facilitate the use of public Transport. Transit Places connect people in a region and a community to the outside world. Transit places allow people to Transit between different modes of Transport. Transit places allow for a greater footfall and gathering of People which acts as a catalyst for the growth of the local economy. Transit places where multiple modes of transport are connected allow for efficient use of land and other resources in turn providing better connectivity and improved quality of service for the Passengers. Having understood the importance of Transit Places, the studio aimed to design an Intermodal transit Centre for the Temple town of Kayavarohan. The Intermodal Transit Centre shall connect the entire regional transit system of the western railway and State bus service to the surrounding community of the Town. The studio aimed to design and develop userfriendly elements for the Transit system. The studio also focused on making the Transit Place well integrated with the adjacent land uses and developments. The design of the Transit center addressed the issues of accessibility, safety and convenience

In India, vehicle ownership usually lies with men, whether it is a car, a two-wheeler, or a bicycle, to say nothing of auto-rickshaws. Our cities, however, are imagined around the automobile. How do we imagine a city that recognizes that half of its population does not own a vehicle? How do we imagine a city where half of the population is a woman? Through research conducted by various authors, ranging from Phadke, Ranade and Khan to Ayona Datta, and through personal research, it is apparent that the street as a public space belongs more to a man than a woman. According to Ayona Datta, women’s presence in the public street is legitimised by the production of her morality; according to Phadke, Khan and Ranade, women constantly exhibit their purpose to be in public space; they are never there without a reason. The city constantly legitimises domesticities for women, especially women from poor households. All of this limits their mobility, access to greater opportunities and their right to claim public spaces in the city. How then do you normalise the presence of a female in the city, and a growing female workforce? How then do we re-imagine the street? And by re-imagining the street, how then do we re-imagine the city itself?

Through this studio we mapped and analysed urban vulnerability particularly considering impacts of the COVID outbreak. COVID-19 has suddenly, unforeseeably, and disproportionately impacted populations already vulnerable as a result of occupation, class, migration status, religion, gender, and other factors, who rely on urban public spaces for their basic needs. Social and economic changes along with mandates on social distancing have meant exclusion of vulnerable groups from using public space for their basic needs. These instances raise new challenges for urban designers and planners. How might we imagine inclusive public spaces in post-COVID Indian cities? This studio is premised in the belief that inclusive public spaces in a post-covid context might be possible if : (a) Urban design takes into account the many ways in which vulnerable groups depend on public spaces for their basic needs, and (b) Design processes have a sufficiently grounded understanding of the myriad ways in which public space is used, governed, and experienced.

Mansi Shah The unit’s focus was centred on the link between city, food and productive landscapes. A growing or developing city’s infrastructure is particularly reliant on the supply of many inputs (food, water), coupled with an enormous volume of output systems, with considerable externalities. Due to this, urban growth may have lasting challenges where large and complex systems are invisible and widespread. To make systems visible at neighbourhood level, the studio chose under-utilised areas in Gandhinagar to cultivate new forms of productive development that can reduce some reliance on city services as well as create social spaces. The studio defined ‘productive’ as a system of landscape development based on an ecologically conscious approach. Among the ideas that it can encompass are food production, water resources, biodiversity, or any other form of ecological development. Taking this approach allows city dwellers to reconnect with natural processes while enhancing the role public spaces can play in the function of cities. So, to generate innovative ideas, the studio invites students to reimagine 3 key spaces in Gandhinagar i.e. the central vista, a part of the river-side and a residential sector through a productive lens. Landscape design, planting strategies, urban and green integration will be explored, along with policy frameworks that can help transform ideas into well-developed projects.

‘Water is constantly in motion; it is changing states, crossing borders, nourishing (and destroying) life. How can water and urbanism be considered together as a generative frame for urban design practice, social life, and ecological regeneration?’: Kate Orff, Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. Water is the initiator of all primary civilizations. It was amongst the first reasons for agglomerations and settlements. The way a settlement would respond to the nature of a water body, gave a certain characteristic to its form. While the making of cities have been generally characterized by their association with rivers, there are other layers of water systems including storm water drainage, water retention structures like lakes, stepwells, ponds, and waste water management, all of which are mostly neglected. Cities today want to go beyond their water systems to reinvent the waterfront for shaping its future, driven by economics, politics, place making and imageability. The studio posited that water and cities must be understood within an expanded notion of a constructed ecosystem.

Tulika Nabar Nishi Shah Bhasin Indian cities are plagued with, to mention a few, a lack of good quality public realm, insufficient green cover, lack of inclusive pedestrian infrastructure, unaffordable land market, and an over regulatory development framework. Many of these are resultant of an archaic idea of city planning and design but can also be attributed to the effect of multiple city stakeholders and their interactions. These stakeholders (politicians, citizen groups, slum dwellers, architects, engineers, administrators, urban planners/ designers, etc.) and their competing views towards city design and planning materialize in the form of national/state level policies, city-level development plans, city-level building regulations or outcomes of a judicial proceeding—ll of which culminate in tangible change. The course: Urban Policy and Regulations: Intent, Manifestation, Design, aimed to understand the competing process of city-making with a specific focus on land markets, public realm, and built form. This was explored in 2 modules at the City and Area level. The studio was based in Mumbai, owing to a long history of planning and design interventions.

Deployable structures can expand and contract due to their geometrical arrangement and mechanical joinery in such a way that they can adapt to different usages. They can fold, reduce in size and fit into a limited space when not in use; when required, these structures can be deployed to serve the intended purpose. This studio emphasized on learning the concept of deployable structures through origami techniques and kinematics of linkages. Students first developed forms using origami techniques and later developed a structural concept out of it based on a specific problem given to each one. Once the concept was formulated, students performed manual as well as softwarebased calculations and did structural analysis to determine member forces, joint forces and sectional sizes. In the final phase of the studio, students made scaled models of structure and the joinery along with basic drawings.

This studio dealt with the problem of planning and designing a suitable road alignment in hilly regions where natural and built environment effects can be influential. Civil and infrastructure engineering principles and techniques that aid in analyzing and designing of the road route and its pavements were applied for generating a suitable solution. It was identified that a civil engineer equipped with the thorough skill of field survey and understanding for soil properties, for highway and traffic engineering principles and having a certain exposure to the actual reallife road-related problem can be very useful professionally. The exercises and discussions pertaining to existing roadway and supporting facilities enabled students to propose their own alignment, design its elements and conduct quantity calculations, parametric studies and road safety analysis. Skill-building for visualization and analysis of collected data through advanced mapping techniques like 3D Model, DSM and drive-through video were introduced. To accomplish mentioned tasks, exposure and skill-building was provided by advanced design tools such as Open-Road, Bentley reality modelling, AutoCAD, Google Earth & Q-GIS.

Foundation is a critical part of any civil structure which plays a vital role in the overall safety of a structure. Foundation rests on soil, hence soil plays a crucial role in the foundation design of a structure. Soil, being a natural material; a varied type of soil that is present below the earth’s surface. A good foundation design aims safe, sustainable as well as economical foundation and for that, the information regarding underground soil strata is essential. The behaviour of soil is analyzed based on properties of soil which can be made available with the help of site investigation and field as well as laboratory testing of soil. During the studio, students got exposed to soil exploration work on site. They went on site to collect the soil samples from the soil borehole. Several soil tests were performed on soils in the laboratory to define different soil properties and predict soil behaviour. Students did calculations and designed different types of foundations (Shallow and deep). They also worked to improve the properties of problematic soil by adding admixtures and performed various tests on problematic soil. Studio enabled students to judiciously choose the best-suited foundation for the structure.

Building construction is not only about erecting a concrete mass in a space, but is also about developing a space by effective utilization of it’s area. In today’s times, where every RCC building is different in terms of its shape, form and structural system, an engineer requires to not only analyse and design the building but also understand the process that leads to it’s architectural and structural form. One needs to cultivate the conceptual understanding of it’s architectural design and coherently develop the structural system. The studio is designed precisely to cultivate this understanding in students— to design a space such that architectural form, space is satisfied without compromising on structural integrity. It aimed at designing a space where architecture and structure are coherent and blend into each other instead of competing and contradicting. Our goal was to make an engineering student sensitive towards intangible but crucial architectural principles; doing so by appropriate use of engineering concepts & theories of Analysis & RCC design. The students produced a proper execution drawing detail for the site at the end of the semester

Throughout history, humankind has fabricated all manner of artefacts and structures from available materials found in their local habitats. Vernacular craft skills developed through long traditions of working with familiar materials frequently resulted in the making of beautiful structures that were unique to each location and culture. The architecture and engineering today is no longer limited by these vernacular constraints. Science and industry has made available materials with new physical properties that enable the conception of novel architectural forms. This studio was focused on exploring the potential of steel, perhaps the most remarkable of these industrial materials invented in the late 19th century. Students studied the work of modern masters of architecture and engineering in steel to gain an understanding of how their work depended on a profound understanding of the physical, chemical properties and structural potential of steel. They then progressed to designing their own steel structures through the development of scaled models, sketches, prototype models, structural drawings and 3D models backed up by engineering proof of concept and calculation. The studio challenged student engineers to explore their role in architectural design by creatively applying and calculation to their design expression.

The studio focused on imparting an understanding of vernacular construction systems of three different regions in India using locally available materials. Students designed a small workspace for craftspersons making critical improvisations in the existing vernacular construction systems to make it suitable for modern requirements. Vernacular construction systems are inherently cross-disciplinary, as its practitioners are trained to think about the process of making as an overall derivative of material properties, spatial utility, idiosyncrasies as well as climate, all at the same time. This stands in contrast with a compartmentalized approach, often evident in contemporary approaches in practice and pedagogy. Thus, looking towards the vernacular methods of construction can create a fecund ground to achieve the above-mentioned understanding. Students looked at the works of some master builders who have successfully blurred the boundaries between architecture and engineering such as Geoffery Bawa in Sri Lanka, Hassan Fathy in Egypt, Didi Contractor, and Chitra Vishwanath in India.

With the current pace of modernization and industrial development, there has been a tremendous increase in waste generation in the last two decades. Wastes are generated in many industries such as construction, agriculture, manufacturing, packaging etc. These wastes such as slag, bagasse, rice husk, glass, waste tyre, fly ash etc. are potential hazards to the environment. Fine dust size particles pollute the air and other pollutants make their way into the ground water through leachates from landfills. The biggest concern is about the accumulation and disposal of these wastes. This studio aimed at developing the process of using waste/byproducts in construction which will lead to comparatively greener construction materials. Students had an opportunity to explore specific industrial waste and study its composition and possible usage in construction. This was carried out with a definite process of detailed study of waste, its effect on environment, possibility in usage in construction, development of prototype of any material with different proportions of waste and detailed study of properties of developed product. Students were exposed to in-depth analysis of the effect of waste on the environment, probable use of waste in construction products, and the performance of waste made construction products against regular, available materials.

India is the second fastest growing economy in the world and within India, the construction industry is the second largest after agriculture. Real estate development is one of the most energy and resource intensive sectors in India. Real estate sector represents a large percentage of overall energy consumption, and contributes 40% of the carbon emissions driving climate change. Yet buildings also offer opportunities for substantial, economical energy efficiency gains. From retrofit projects to new construction, buildings require a context-specific design process that integrates efficiency strategies and technologies. In this course, students were introduced to basic technologies and analytical techniques for designing data driven resource-efficient buildings. The primary focus of this course was upon studying the thermal and luminous behavior of buildings and enhanced performance. The studio aimed to examine the basic scientific principles underlying these phenomena, and use computer-aided design software and climate data to explore the role light, ventilation and energy can play in shaping architecture. The students were exposed to concepts of passive architecture, embodied energy and carbon, minimizing energy and water consumption by optimal design.

Increased complexity, uncertainty and pressures of deadlines in construction projects have increased the need for collaboration and coordination among different project actors. Establishing an appropriate procurement strategy and formation of contracts at the outset, is key to a successful outcome of collaboration. A holistic and systematic approach is crucial to focus on issues such as speed, cost, quality, specific project constraints, risks, assets ownership, financing and program. The success of the contract management is influenced by considerations during every stage of the procurement process. Hence developing procurement routes and bidding systems are an incredibly important part of the construction project. Each of these elements should be planned, assessed, evaluated and incorporated into the bid formation as required for successful completion of the project. Strategically it is equally desirable for contractors to be equipped with a toolkit that needs to be accessed to formulate winning proposals. The important stages in the flow of the procurement process and the set of procedures necessary for completion of a project were explored in detail for public procurement.

The course imparted knowledge of the services viz. Mechanical (HVAC), Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection & Building Automation Services, that are essential and/or mandatory for effective performance of a building/facility. At the end of the course, while commencing conceptual planning (of a building/ facility) itself, the students had an overall vision of services to be incorporated and their implications in terms of form, function, aesthetics, and space. Students were familiarized with engineering terminologies, units/symbols/abbreviations, principles of design, standard engineering practices, sizes, conceptual layouts, space requirements, etc. The learning process started with students’ past projects or a new facility as the case may be. Gradually, while learning each service, students upgraded their portfolio and observed/reported changes that are essential. Lastly, all the services were seen in a superimposed manner and conflicts, if any, were resolved. Building Information Modelling sessions took the learning to a different level. The learning process included lectures, PPT presentations (by industry experts/practicing consultants and faculty), site visits, quiz tests, group discussions/case studies, and tutorials.

Cantilevers are a fascination for designers, whether architectural or structural. Ever since the invention of steel and concrete, engineers and architects have designed masterpieces with cantilevers. To achieve a proper balance between design and function, it is important that architects and structural engineers collaborate with each other. Cantilevers also work at the mass level where they symbolize an expression of freedom and boldness. Some of the most notable architects and engineers to use the cantilevers as an expression were Frank Lloyd Wright, Peter Rice, Norman Foster, Mahendra Raj, among many more Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Waters and Robie house changed the perception of housing and created a new style. The mushroom columns at the Johnson Wax museum are a testimony to the fact that Frank Lloyd Wright believed in expressing every material to its fullest. The objective of the course was to inquire and explore the cantilevered structures by introducing, studying, examining and analyzing different materials and their respective properties. Through examples, study materials and exercises, students responded, engaged with and developed the understanding of the cantilever structural form as consisting of stability, serviceability and strength.

According to the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund, more than half of the world’s population does not have access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities. Recognizing the access to safe water and sanitation as a basic right, the United Nations introduced one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals to “Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.” Junagarh is a small town in Gujarat with no different story. Half of the city households do not have access to piped water or sewerage connection from the municipal corporation. It also provides a unique challenge because of its topography. In this studio, we take up this challenge to design the water supply and sewerage for the town. We will study the design principles of the different components of a system; learn to design these components and combine our understanding for an overall system design. For systematic learning two approaches for design will be followed- designing the system through basic excel sheets first and learning software for designing a more complicated system. At the end of the studio, you will be able to estimate the demand, perform service delivery gap analysis and design the water supply, and sewerage network.
