Stereopia

Stereopia takes me back to those old bollywood movies greatly publicised on the deadly orange and pink tinted posters.My picture shows the stereo-scenario, where there is a tall, imposing figure who is the epitome of style and fashion.Not necessarily an actor though,can also be a political leader,or a musician or a singer...basically someone seen and broadcasted all over! The figure, is greatly admired, loved and worshipped by a smaller creature(shown as a cute squirrel),who blindly follows whatever it sees.After all, you believe what you see.This is probably where visual communication steps in and takes over the mammoth responsibility. After all, an entire generation of those squirrels will eventually follow what it sees!

Sleepy Nightjar

Nightjars are small nocturnal birds with small features.
I've seen a couple at home, hiding in the trees.I like to watch birds as well.They are the most wonderful creatures made by god(that's if he exists),of course closely followed by dogs!!:P

A Design Opportunity in Roti(Food)

My idea was for the dry, hilly regions with lack of water but lots of sunshine!(some place like the village we visited for our Environmental Perception course.)
The concept was to first generate water by the simple method of precipitation.There is moisture in the lower layers of soil, but the only problem is that the water table is very low.Hence, by digging a deep pit, putting a plastic sheet on top and tapping the water,voila!We get what we want!.From here, water pumphouses will pull the water and supply it to the area.One of the supplies would be to a Steam Generating house(steam generated using solar reflectors),from where pipelines will again be connected to the houses around the area.These houses can cook food using steam, instead of being dependent on fossil fuels, or even LPG!~similar techinques could be adopted in citites, maybe on top of houses or apartments!

Roti-Food

This assignment was to represent what we actually know about Roti(Food) and the issues related to it.



This was the next level of the same assignment, where we had to think about how roti is or is not sustainable at the moment.The problems and issues related to it.We interviewed some organic farm owners,designers, wholesellers, People teaching and practising sustainability in colleges,CEPT faculty and the IIM faculty.Also, some of the NGOs working in this field.It was a very enriching experience to actually understand the wider picture of how things are around us. Formulating, editing, filtering and then representing the data was difficult but fun(once again)!:)
