Architecture, but an Art.

~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

~Tanisha Christo, VII Semester


  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


~Atul Saraff, VII Semester


  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.
