The design project was to build an Aritst residency in Powai area of Mumbai. Given this, the responses to the above questions were built by multiple methods which included an esquesse exercise of ones own houses to understand the idea of resources and patterns of resource consumption. Texts expanding on the concepts of flows, resources, architecture of care and compassion accompanied throughout the studio time and helped  students in asking pertinent questions.

​

The projects responded to the following questions framed for the studio: 

What is the nature of spatial configurations that reduces the demand on resources to build and operate the building?

What is the architecture of Harnessing resources for buildings?

How does space get generated through alternative building systems?

How does space become a derivative of building services and systems?

How do you start structuring space such that the harnessed resources become a part of the experience of life and living?
