A Wall as a Room
Samira Rathod Design Atelier
The mean streets are the principal bazaars; I need size, and the arcades of the palaces, temples and houses, are the shops of the artisans, who are seen working almost in the open air at their traders, the tailors, the shoemakers , the goldsmiths, armorers, pastry-cooks, confectioners, coppersmiths, etc. The grain merchant occupy very spacious huts of thatch, constructed in a sort of coarse latticework,… In the midst of the main street. (Quotation from Victor Jacquemont’s Impressions of Jaipur & Amber in 1832 in Jadunath Sarkar - A history of Jaipur)
This installation redefines the utilitarian purpose off the wall as a separator of space to be the container of space itself. One may find a Cross architectural history how walls have been used as places for hiding, service and shelter. The palaces of Jaipur work out a unique architecture of the skin that leave large open spaces bounded within thinwall buildings that can be occupied. In several urban areas today, walls have become infrastructures and extensions from homes and temporal entrepreneurship. Learning from many such examples, the installation attempts to rethink the architectural elements of the wall not as separator, but something that brings people together. The ‘Wall as a Room’ is an experiment in anthropometric norms, material, and spatial experience of one’s habitat. It provokes us to think of inhabiting the boundaries between the inside and the outside; private and public; the individual and the other.

Nav/Laya - A Confluence
The greatest aspect of Jaipur is that its map prepared before constructing the city and the city was constructed as per the map… Roads cut each other on the same angles… The main road from the east to west is 111 feet wide and 2 miles and 40 yards long. Three wide roads intersect it. A wide Road originates from the palace gates known as Tripolia gate. This Road divides the town situated between the second and the third major roads. Thus nine rhombuses have been formed. In Jaipur it is known as Chaukori. The nine rhombuses have been kept as a symbol of nine treasures of Kuber, The gold of affluence. The north western end has been merged in the Amer mountains. Hence eight rhombuses have been made with oblong area; one has been built in its South, three have been made equal actually do in the east. Rajendra Shankar Bhatt- Sawai Jai Singh 1972.
Nav/Laya is it juxtaposition of the work of Abin design studio with Navagraha mandala - original Jaipur city plan and the base of Correa’s Jawahar Kala Kendra. While ‘nav’ represents the absolute (nine), ‘laya’ is both dissolution and merging, morphing in its meaning with context. The installation is aligned with the twist that Correa uses to mimic the deviation in Jaipur’s plan. In the pavilion, people inhabit the space in-between the stable grid of pathways and the transforming canopies.

Five Gardens
Samir Raut
Behold! Here are new trees, new leaves, new branches new flowers, new beautiful parrots sit on them. New bees humming and birds are singing their tunes. There a new peacocks, parrots, chakoras. New koel is going and producing new notes. Sawai Jaisaha Maharaj Mukatmani has his Jainivas Garden with perennial spring reining therein. There are many temples here… There are wells step wells in Gardens, the Mansagar is overflowing with the river is flowing swiftly. (from a poem by Girdhari- Bhojanasara, 1739)
Five Gardens emerges from studies of the several house plans. Material here is explored for both structure and details. The pavilion/house reveals its self to the surrounding landscape, flora and phone out in normal assemblies. The project intimately plays with economy of material, pleasure of craft and lightness of structure. While the pavilion seamlessly connects the outside with the inside, it leads itself to create personalised spaces within its self.

The Malleability of all things Solid
Note Book Series
M. Pravat
Lives are shaped by the built environments that we inhabit. And as much as humans occupy architectural spaces, architecture also occupies a unique place in human sensibilities. Images and materials are central to the idea of space and form. This work explores the configuring of images and material to words imagining newer ideas of space.
The space of architecture is a project that delves into architects notebooks, elevation, plans, blueprints and collages. Architects and planners depend excessively on drawings to conceptualise space. This work mimics the process of drawing. In many ways the work interrogates the process of producing architecture through reprocessing the drawing.

Maan Singh was commanded by Akbar to march beyond the Indus and put down the rebellion in Kabul. The great commander hesitated as the River Indus what is the limit for the medieval Hindus. The point at which the river was traditionally crossed by non-Hindus has been labelled by the Hindus as the uttuk (Attock) or barrier. Responding to the hesitation of Maan Singh, Akbar wrote a couplet to be sent to Maan Singh:
Sub hain bhum Gopal ka
Jis me uttuk kahan?
Jis ke man me uttuk hai
So een uttuk hoega.
The whole earth belongs to God
where is the barrier in it?
He who is mind has a barrier
will always find itself bound.
maan Singh cross the river and crush the rebellion in Kabul.
The Floating Roof
The Urban Project
The floating roof is a spatial organism blurring the distinctions between land, sky, the built and the unbuilt. It’s never touch is the land or the sky, but restlessly meditates in between. It hopes to bring alive the fear and joys of its inhabitants.

Drawing in Space
Parul Gupta
Drawing in space is a project based on special narrative and questions of perception. This spatial exploration can we post somewhere between installation and abstract line drawings. The work is response to clear architectural forms, space and their illusionary character. It aims to create a special experience of form and volumes created merely by lines.
