The world of tomorrow has more than 50% of the buildings and infrastructure that exist today. Therefore, a surgical approach at various scales from small to large was the way forward. To test out the theory, the idea of revamping dilapidated neighbourhoodsin a way that they efficiently function in the society, thuscreating a handbookfor the future to form a sustainable city of tomorrow.

The conceptual design translated to a building on site was away from the realms of reality. The resolving of design led to create an outcome of detailed level drawings where translation of concepts to reality was understood. Understanding the process of construction, services and materiality to come to a final design detailed working drawing helped change the designing outlook. Structural aspects were also kept in mind while re-iterating the design. Plan and section drawings helped create a holistic image of how the building will turn into reality and the detailed drawings of the toilet helped dive into the intricate details of the building.

Site: Jacob Circle
Semester VIII, Year 4
Mentor: Ar. Atrey Chhaya, Ar. Ritu Mohanty, Ar. Nishant Modi, Ar. Prachi Donde, Ar. Prakriti Mehta
Team Members: Stavan Gang, Harshiv Vaghela, Rushil Patel, Aditya Shroff, Kaushal Suthar
The intent of this project was to look at micro inserts at urban scale which would activate or redefine the exisiting fabric of the neighbourhood. Jacob Circle is a conjuction of seven roads and each road exhibits a unique character. We analysed the movement of people throughout different time periods and according to that the proposal aimed at easing out the tension on the streets. We studied the multifunctional use of space from the dhobi ghat vicinity which was the key inspiration for designing the informal market on that very street. The design of the circle was derived from the forces on site.
13. NOMADIC FORMS: WAVES
ur mission is to look at modelling and architecture through the lens of the future applications of 3D printing.To provide a platform for all
The concept behind motion of the waves was translated as a design medium through exploration of models. The whole idea of the studio was to create a dynamic model that can replicate the simulations of these wave motions to articulate some patterns as drawings. Using linear actuators and arduino coding we managed to create a motion of a stationary plate as if it were the surface of water. The suspended pen/pencil being at rest and the paper being set in motion creates a set of drawings that are recorded and the eventual outcome was put forth as an exhibition display within college premise.
