Reflections_Subjective: Impressions •Pick/Take 25 selected photographs each of both the sites.

013

• Associate and express your first impressions and multiple readings thereof of each site with metaphors/labels/captions of those assigned/expressed attributes in the photographs.

• These associative captions/labels can express both the strong subjective emotional attribute/affiliation or a spatial attribute/reading.

Reduction_Analytical • Make analytical diagrams depicting the spatial configuration, contextual elements and transitional attributes.

• Use the associative captions used for exercise 1.3 as leads/ clues to develop an abstract model depicting the same with appropriate selection of materials. Full or any part of the site can be used to build up the expression of your reflections into the model.

Transforming the Transformers

022

• Combining a chosen attitude (varies each time) with language of dialogue interpreted from your artist( from the above list, stays constant for all 3 stages) design an architectonic installation.

Stage 1 : Entrance + Volume Stage 2 : Skin(Aperture)+volume Stage 3 : Crown+Volume Final Stage : Volume+Skin+Crown Interventions need to address the site with observations/physical elements,their scale position/change or remove certain elements for proposing transformation.

CONTRUCTIVISUM Menifesto •To communicate the reality of life,art should be based on the two fundamental elements : space and time.

•Volume is not the only spatial concept.

•Kinetic and dynamic elements must be used to express the real nature of time; static rythms are not sufficient.

•Art should stop being imitative and try instead to discover new forms.

Transformers Week 4-5

Transforming the Transformers this exersice unfolds in 3 stages of operative dialogues based on 3 different attitudes adopted with respective sites.

1.Weave 2.Box-in-Box 3.Parasite

022

Each student would be given an artist work to stimulate the language of the dialogue being established with the chosen site. the shared sample of work of each artist should be studied for this compostion, elemnets,rules of structuring the elements,detailing, and scale.

Design an architectonic installation to achieve scales of volumes, atmospheres of spatiality(dense space,stretched space,labyrinthine space.busy space. layered space etc.)connections within to allow a visitor to climb.sit,occupy and move through volumes.

Metal Sculptors’ residency sculpting from scrap

Site:NEW COMMERCIAL MILL, AMDUPURA, AHMEDABAD N.C. Mills is an industrial building close to Naroda Airport Road, which used to manufacture cotton fabric. It is surrounded by other industrial buildings and residential units.The built-form from the outside appears heavy and full of mass, while from the inside it appears porous, huge, light, and raw with a rustic appeal. It has a metal structure internally which helps cover larger spans.

The large span interior volume feels like a floating mass exaggerated by the roof and its north light openings.

A mill used to have a lot of production happening, so the impressions of the site were work in-process and with rustic interior surfaces.This suggested to me, that “why not convert this into a workplace for sculpture, where the space converts into a creative place surrounded by nature and silence.My thoughts came from the fact that people prefer to reside near a river because the basic need of water is fulfilled, similarly for a metal sculptor, the basic requirement is material where waste metals such as copper, iron, aluminum, etc. are found close by at a low cost”.These materials are found easily in areas such as Naroda, Delhi Darwaja, Kalupur, Prem Darwaja, Dariyapur, Tawdipura, Dudheshwar, Rakhiyal, Vatva, GIDC areas, which are in close proximity to the site, from which a sculptor can make sculptures.

If we make a sculptors’ residency here, it could help them produce their work and also avail of the easy access to all the required materials available nearby.They could produce work on whatever scale from small to large as per their requirements.

Context study programme related contextual study of nearest areas around site •research about places •Material availability •Transportation •Programme research •Metal scrapes availability
