TREASURE OF DANCE

Devdasis were women in South India who were dedicated to serving a Hindu deity,often from a young age. Historically, the practice of devadasi involved a formal dedication ceremony, after which the woman would live in a temple andperform various duties, such as dancing, singing and cleaning. The temples provided a space for these performances, and devadasis were considered an integral part of the temple community. Over time, the devadasi system became corrupted, and many women were forced into prostitution. This led to the practice being outlawed in India. Today, the devadasi system no longer exists in its original form, and efforts have been made to rehabilitate and empower women who were previously part of the system. However, the legacy of the devadasi system and its impact on women's lives continues to be felt in many parts of India.

“Fading” pertains to the fluctuation in the strength of received signals, occurring across both time and space due to alterations in the way signals propagate through the environment. This concept is analogous to the exploration of temple spaces, where the interplay between light and shadow is examined. Light serves as a factor that either enhances or diminishes the perception of the spatial volumes that constitute the environment. Particularly, spaces shaped by curved surfaces dramatically shape the way we experience the environment. Some temples may use artificial illumination to achieve a comparable effect. These methods are frequently employed to accentuate the intricate carvings and sculptures emblematic of South Indian temple architecture, fostering a profound sense of wonder and reverence for the divine.

INITIATIVE: This endeavor encompasses various aspects such as establishing a secure and nurturing dwelling for devdasi performers, safeguarding and upholding traditional Indian classical dance forms, furnishing a platform for devdasi dancers to display their artistic skills, and enlightening the public about the historical and cultural importance of devdasi dance. This initiative might involve traditional dance exhibitions presented by devdasi artists, interactive sessions on Indian classical dance, presentations elucidating the historical and cultural context of devdasi dance, and celebratory cultural events.

RENEWTECH WASTE

LOCATION : GOVANDI, MUMBAI.

TYPE : COMMERCIAL PROJECT.

FACULTY : ROHAN SHIVKUMAR & KRISH SHAH.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

The project commences by engaging with the landfill site, assessing the state of the local residents and comprehending their socioeconomic context. The project’s foundation is laid upon this assessment. Given the prevalent inadequate sanitation across the site due to haphazard waste disposal, coupled with the impending closure of the dumping ground, the imperative is to address the management of the existing waste as well as devise strategies for future waste handling.

The program centers around waste management and envisions formalizing waste pickers’ roles through technology integration. This involves creating a parallel system that enables waste pickers to work legitimately, mitigating risks associated with dumpsite labor. The initiative also emphasizes strengthening self-help groups, ensuring their livelihood security, and extending healthcare and education opportunities for waste pickers and their families. The approach includes doorstep waste collection, meticulous sorting, waste processing, and the recycling of dry waste. Furthermore, the program underscores the significance of health awareness. Its primary objective is to assess waste pickers’ contributions to municipal solid waste management and propose necessary revisions to existing systems. The initiative strongly advocates for heightened attention to cleanliness, minimizing waste generation, and promoting waste reuse and recycling.

Pelhar Lake is located just off the National Highway 8 towards the east at Vasai. Surrounded by gentle hills of the Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary. It is a rock earth structured dam situated which is a part of the water supply unit to the nearby cities. The dam was constructed across a tributary of the Amba river in the year 1975. The dam is 26 metres high above foundation and 701 metres long in length.

The two residential buildings are dormitories for males and females. The ground floors are used as market where all the excess farm produce will be sold; on the other side we have a community kitchen. The buildings are built using hempcrete for walls and regular concrete for columns and slabs Behind the building we have a community gathering space which will be surrounded by phytoremediation plants used to treat the grey water from the building. The grey water is treated and used again for flushing stored in the UGT. The rainwater is carried down from the roof through a reed bed for filtering and finally emptying in the well on the northern side of the building

The farmlands are designed to cater to the needs of a minimum of 25 people.The plants that require comparatively less water are grown on the higher contour level as against the plants which require more water that are grown on the lower levels.The farm edges have natural fencing which add to the local produce as well as the aesthetics of the farm.

The pond has been created to collect the excess water and letting it slowly seep into the ground while creating a beautiful experience for the users around.Set beside the trail under the trees,it acts as a place where people can sit and appreciate nature. It provides a one to one experience with the nature giving them a sense of comfort and relaxation in the form of people sitting there dipping their feet in the pond or plucking freshly ripened fruit from the trees or just simply sitting on a bench and enjoying the beauty of the nature around.

The photos illustrated here is a speculative attempt to show the hierarchy and relationship of the two regular solids and their counterparts. It trace the same sequence of relationships between the 200 Platonic solids, the faces of all these solids are made up by the use of two ( geometrical figures the triangle, and the square ). The developments of each characteristic group of faces of these duals is shown in relation to the regular figure on which, if placed, it would make up the whole. We used ideas from 200 Platonic models to design an engaging playground for children.

FARM AND ITS NETWORK

Bhopal, the capital city of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, is surrounded by a predominantly agricultural region. Agriculture plays a significant role in the economy and livelihoods of the people in and around Bhopal. Trade routes and journey of a grain. The journey of grains from farm to table involves a complex network of trade routes and processes. The journey of grains is a global and interconnected process, with grains often traveling long distances before reaching consumers. It involves a combination of agricultural practices, logistics, processing, distribution, and culinary traditions. Additionally, factors such as trade agreements, tariffs, and international relations can influence the movement of grains across borders.

The Third Year study of institutions is interested in the ways in which the architecture of the temple town makes a community. The study was to look at a typical South Indian Temple Town, with a central temple complex and concentric rings of caste based streets around. Overall, this study appears to offer valuable insights into the complex interplay between architecture, culture, and societal structures in a South Indian Temple Town like Chidambaram. It underscores the importance of understanding how traditional communities adapt to and resist changes brought about by contemporary forces while preserving their cultural heritage.
