TClínica De Odontologia, designed by the architectural firm spbr arquitetos, houses two professional activities: clinic and laboratory. The building’s implantation follows the height gauge of the neighboring houses and is aligned on the fronts of the land towards the streets. This gives independence to the construction, with a different feature from the neighborhood and, at the same time, shapes the court, a striking unit of the orthogonal grid of streets and avenues of the projected city.

Kowdiar villa, designed by Cadence Architects, articulates a new experience in the courtyard by having a large garden and a large water body. The juxtaposition of the water body and the garden along with central spine of the house helps organize the rest of the program. The formal articulation of the house has a minimalistic sensibility to it. Large plane surfaces enclose generous spatial volumes that overlook internal and external gardens.

Pakkret House, designed by Archimontage Design Fields Sophisticated, serves as a backdrop and the terracotta-tile wall illuminates the story of time passing. The solution is to build a gigantic wall shading that rises to the roof level and almost covers the width of the entire house. Covered by brownish-orange terracotta tiles, the wall stands high to support a translucent roofing panel where many small lights strung in rows like waves.

REDD Premium Self Storage, designed by Openbox Architects and Openbox Group, acts as a large signage, visible to inbound and outbound traffic. This flagship facility has to be much more than just functional. The external design boldly tells stories that can be perceived by passing drivers at a glance. The site perception presents a composition of stacked cardboard boxes, layered with transparent wrapping material, giving a hint of what’s inside.

Dilli Haat, designed by archohm, is a conversation between the past and present while acknowledging traditions and adapting contemporization. The idea was to give them a home for playful music and give these homes a place to play with music. This was the underlying layer that bonded the overall program of formal and informal shops to sell craft sand celebrate culture; to inject a new life into this part of Delhi and be its rhythmic. Fundamentally, all Dilli Haats need to have a common ground of bringing artisans to interface with city dwellers.

Barefoot Organics, designed by Studio 4000, is a shop for organic foods conceived by setting black & white shelves in a circular framework. This is done in different combinations to have a variety of display units- some aligning with the side walls, others placed along its central axis. Shelves of adjacent units are staggered in elevation to break continues horizontal lines, against which the vertical circular teak posts are seen repeating at regular interval. Overall, this compositional idea characterizes the design & extends to that of supporting furniture elements like reception desk, internal partitions as well as the main facade.

This is an introductory workshop to Rhino and Grasshopper. This workshop aims to introduce participants to the world of computational design through Rhino and Grasshopper. Once the basics of Grasshopper (barebones) and Rhino are covered, few plugins like OpenNest, Kangaroo 2, and Ekl will be introduced. These plugins will increase the potential of what we can do with both the software.

Verandah House, designed by Vipul Patel Architects, is a quintessential contemporary house with strict architectural language. his house is a right balance between the inner and outer space; wherein the constructed structure stands in equality with the landscaped area. The L-formation architectural planning is a result of the sun path and directions. The L-plan was done so that most of the areas open up towards North, which works best for the Indian climate.

MVRDV Haus Berlin, designed by MVRDV, exhibits a densely packed archive that shows off both current and past German projects by MVRDV. MVRDV Haus Berlin replicates the spirit of the firm’s headquarters in Rotterdam, not only in appearance with signature wall-to-wall orange monochrome, but also in its transparency. The project encapsulates ideas that have come to define MVRDV’s work as a practice.

House as Tree of Life, designed by Andyrahman Architect, considers trees as a metaphor in architecture in the tropics. The important thing in a house is a shade/shade roof, while the wall should be attempted to be a wall that can be passed light and air freely. This house is also designed with that awareness as a shade covered by a wall with holes. The use of wood should be wise, and pay attention to its sustainability, so that building materials are always available and preserved.

Urapamba House, designed by the architectural firm ESEcolectivo, is a weekend cottage to take care of the peach garden. The decision was made to not prioritize the program and rather focus on a modular and flexible building technology. In this way the team could easily adapt the project to any spatial need the clients would have during the process. Making the clients part of the construction process, learn from the material and experiment was proposed to them as there was a special interest from them to understand the building technology in order to make future expansions and new buildings in the same plot.

House in Ubatuba, designed by the architectural firm spbr arquitetos, is a house to live for the couple and a vacation home for the children. Besides preserving a natural landscape, this hanged house actually floats among the trees. A bridge connects the street to the main entrance of the house, allowing different views through the trees to the sea and the hills. Three columns, made in reinforced concrete, support the house. They correspond to the only points were we touch the ground.
