~Khushboo Sonigera, III Sem.
Now I am home for less than 24 hours, which is hardly time to take a shower, hug my family, take few pictures of the wall, check my email, write a song and make a few phone calls before its time to leave again. I got a roll pack on the left and a 770mm ‘T’ on the other, fixing white inking cartridge sheet on the plain white board, as plain as your morning sky until I fix it with a 250mm boarder on the left, a 100mm and 1200mm on the top and extreme right end respectively. Is the first step towards art in architecture?

A Matter of Perspective
The concept of Escher’s never-ending staircase is derived from Lionel Penrose’s creation. Another of the works of Penrose, of a similar concept is the impossible triangle. All three of these take advantage of the realm of two dimensions.
The Economics of Going Green
When I look at the picture I see the inevitable. The wise man Murphy once said - if something can go wrong, chances are it most probably will. What he didn't mention, however, was that more often than not, we are the ones responsible for it.
Ascending and Descending
~ Aishwarya K. A., III Semester
Stairways that ascend and descend endlessly -- and yet go nowhere. It is an architectural impossibility that challenges our understanding of what's visually possible.
Impossible
~Atul Saraff, VII Semester
What is the single most infectious and deadly disease in the world? If you were to believe Leonardo DiCaprio*, it’s an idea. In his latest movie he speaks about inception and about how an idea once planted in your head - grows, eats at you bit by bit every day, until it completely consumes you. An idea can make you believe something is as real as the ground you stand on. That it is more than just a thought; it can make you believe that it’s a fact.

In Spirit '10
~Archita S., VI Semester
A time to free one’s mind, a time to interact, a time to bring some zest into the semester, ‘In spirit’, the annual architectural fest was held on 22nd, 23rd and 24th of April, 2010.
Fish in the Sea
~Atul Saraff, Vl Semester
Fish. Strange creatures. They say that’s where we came from. Some people (like that crazy Frank O’Gehry) even take inspiration from them. Personally, I’m not a fan, but when you are gifted two gold fish as pets, you can’t help but stare at them in some desperate hope that inspiration may strike you too.
Bits n' Pieces
~Chanchal Bhattacharya, IV Semester
“Architecture is the art of how to waste space.”
The first thing I did having joined the course was to tear off an old jeans and paint it with acrylic colours! There I was wondering what I was doing cutting and painting a pair of jeans.
Archiville
~Rakshita Ramesh, IV Semester
During our course in architecture since we started till present semester, we've been through different strategies of designing. In the 1st semester it was all about Art and Architecture, playing more with colors materials shapes, initially not bothered much about the scale and practicality.
Model Making
~Surabhi Saran, ll Semester
Most of us architecture students initially dreaded making models. Many of us felt that it was such a pain to make models with all the little details. It needs so much precision and neatness and takes a huge amount of time.
Year One
~Rohit Choudhary, ll Semester
Architecture, a course we usually relate to designing only buildings. We usually get a wrong or an incomplete impression about anything in the beginning and that is exactly what has happened with us as first year architecture students but this has changed towards the end of the first year.
