Project Description:
The New Normal
With the constant flux in our cities, why doesn’t the architectural field address the aspects of reconfigurability, adaptability, and sensitivity to its environment?’; this question is perhaps, the beginning of a new normal. The project is a speculation of a future market in the Indian context which has space for all. It tries to eliminate the term "informal" and provides an affordable framework for people to get their hands-on. The idea of quick deployment and volatile architecture is the basis of the modules which can be deployed into the framework. The interesting part of these modules is its usability. The users can thus use its edge, surface, as well as volumes based on their affordability. Thus, the start of a new era is not to add new elements to the environment but to re-use and re-configure its existing ones.
NMIMS BSSA takes great pride, in informing you that, under the Sacred heart school and other initiatives some of our alumni, students, and faculty have been working on the 3D Printing and Laser Crafting to produce Face Shields which will provide basic protection to Doctors, Medical Staff and Police, while they come in contact with numerous people.
