RCC frame structure Structure is made using concrete and reinforced with metal rods. Changes can be made in the walls as the load is taken by the columns and beams. Bricks are used to make the wall. The foundation of the building is underground with an expanded base- Column foundation We learned about the history of building from a shelter created by stones and the development into roofs, archs and eventually buildings made of beams and columns(RCC). Also use of other methods like using cables. We also learned about their pros and cons. Transfer of load in the structure and different forces getting involved.

After being allotted in the house group , we studied and experienced the household, its built form, surrounding and changes. We drew out plans and sections of the buildings which later helped us understand how everyday life was shaped by the position of these houses.

We started with reading poems written by Arthur Rimbaud. My poem was Romance which further led to collection of objects. Then, we created a soundscape which included indifferences and everyday chaos. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L67MsqpOfVUzFBDA6yBlGxxj4CoEDqZw/view?usp=drivesdk Further, I wrote a compilation of dialogue which showed the experience of bodies and their interaction in a train compartment. Later we tried to convert our texts into a drawings. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-70n2FoT_Lm5mLBhBcqhr6Pk5li2GhIp

it all started with the idea of a pest. For me, personally, a neighbor of mine barging in my house anytime and grabbing things was the pest .My initial drawing has many hands shown in a grabbing position. Further, i wanted to show the same characteristics in an insect so i chose a butterfly. As we know, butterflies are also known as 'nectar stealers' .They seemed adequate for this module. The butterfly uses its proboscis to suck nectar from flowers. The proboscis is a straw like structure which opens due to muscular contraction . It rolls itself back in after sucking nectar. Its a quick action.

" Hello, do you have any plans of coming back up? " " No" The feeling of home happens when I'm with my friends relaxing on a small water tank below our building . It may not be the most comfortable place chosen but it is comforting indeed. To sit among people you've been with for years and let off steam. Here, I've focused more on the space itself . Being the oasis it is for me in the cluster of tall buildings .

In this module, importance is given to the mechanism of the object, its structure and form. I chose a spin mop and bucket to work on here. After understanding its working, the object is brought down to lines and planes, forces acting and the movement . Forces acting on object Components Analysis of form of object

Though it was a tedious week for me as I was hopping from one drawing to another altering my ideas, I finally found stability in the softness of snow (or at least I think I did). I started with the memory of my family friends enjoying a vacation in Kashmir but gradually shifted to the feeling of warmth, comfort and coziness in my house . Jumping in snow After a bunch of lost sketches, my faculty advised me to create muck just behind the school building by digging wet soil and pouring water all over it to understand the texture of snow. Though my first reaction was filled with confusion and surprise , when I actually started the process, I have to admit ;it was pretty interesting. I got on board with the idea and made these drawings.
