PROJECT 1
THE IDEA
In ancient times we lived with the Wilderness, fighting against its severity and its roughness, and receiving the benefits of its fertility. The wildness of nature was directly related to our lives. In our current age, we live in cities. A city is a large, man-made environment, in which we no longer think much about the power of nature, except when we are shocked by occasional natural disasters, such as storms, floods, droughts and earthquakes. However, we still instinctively recall the lives of our ancestors, and have complex feelings of fear and yearning for life in the Wilderness.
The Wilderness can be of any type: deep forest, thick forest, a vast meadow, a desert, or in the sea. Or, a design a shelter against natural disasters such as storms, earthquakes or heavy snow. The structure of the house can be timber, masonry, rammed earth or it can be made with the super-alloys that are used for spaceships.
Providing a city to the people of this world which is unique in its own sense and it reminds them the true realities of their past when they actually enjoyed everything. The city will be a breathing place for the people and a shelter home where they can once live again with their past which was better than today.
THE DESIGN
The form of the city will be created using generative architecture and parametric design. Generative design is a design method where the output – image, sound, architectural models, animation – is generated by a set of rules or an Algorithm. The form will follow evolution and growth.
For a work of art to be considered algorithmic art, its creation must include a process based on an algorithm devised by the artist. Here, an algorithm is simply a detailed recipe for the design and possibly execution of an artwork, which may include computer code, functions, expressions, or other input which ultimately determines the form the art will take. This input may be mathematical, computational, or generative in nature. Inasmuch as algorithms tend to be deterministic, meaning that their repeated execution would always result in the production of identical artworks, some external factor is usually introduced. This can either be a random number generator of some sort, or an external body of data (which can range from recorded heartbeats to frames of a movie?) Some artists also work with organically based gestural input which is then modified by an algorithm.
By this definition, algorithmic art is not to be confused with graphical methods such as generating a fractal out of a fractal program; it is necessarily concerned with the human factor (one's own algorithm, and not one that is pre-set in a package). The artist must be concerned with the most appropriate expression for their idea, just as a painter would be most concerned with the best application of colors. By this definition, defaulting to something like a fractal generator (and using it for all or most of your creations) would in essence be letting the computer dictate the form of the final work, and not truly be a creative art. The artist's self-made algorithms are an integral part of the authorship, as well as being a medium through which their ideas are conveyed.
All of the forms shown are generated using the same single process; only the variables that control the process’ division operation are allowed to change. This single process affects both the form’s topography and topology. It influences attributes such as the degree of branching, porosity, and fractionalization – just to name a few. The process also works at multiple scales: it affects not only the overall shape, but it determines the surface development as well as the generation of miniscule textures. The resulting forms display a novel aesthetic and an astounding complexity that largely defies attempts at reductionism.

THE IDEA
I am starting off with targeting a social problem that one of the class of society facing these days, I m specifying prostitutes, she males and sexually or physically abused women of the society. I want to provide this class a secure and well protected future. They need a free space where they can live their life according to their free will.
In reference to prostitutes I m not referring to provide them with a place where they can practice their profession rather this will be a shelter home for those who want an escape from their world and live a life like other normal people of the society. It might also be a rehabilitation centre for them or a small part of the place can turn into it for them. They will be able to live a normal life like other people have.

CASE STUDY
MYSORE, DEC 14: A rehabilitation programme to wean away around 80 women from the flesh trade is taking shape at Chamundi Hills.
The rehabilitation centre, Shakthidhama, the brainchild of Suttur Math seer Shivarathi Deshikendra Swami, Kannada matinee idol Rajkumar and his wife Parvathamma is nearing completion on a plot of 1.5 acres of land.
Inmates below 35 years would be enrolled at the centre and would be counselled in the first round to keep them from going back to prostitution. Jayadev, managing trustee of Shakthidhama, speaking to The Indian Express said: "Women involved in prostitution in the city and outskirts would be taken in.'' A two-year stay in the centre, he said, would train the women in skilled work to make them financially independent.
After a preliminary medical check-up, they would be trained in literacy programme, book binding, and preparation of bakery products. On the daily routine, he said counseling on environment protection; regular prayers would also be a part.
Social workers and counselors at the centre will regularly hold sessions to mould the inmates' personality. And the returns from the sale of handicraft goods produced at the centre would be deposited in the individual accounts of the inmates, they claimed.
Nursery classes are also being planned for children of the inmates. For those who have contracted AIDS, the centre would keep in touch with voluntary organizations working on the issue.
A premier research institute in Mysore, CFTRI, has come forward to offer training to the inmates in preparing bakery products and the Zilla Panchayat will install solar heaters and the District Industrial Centers will provide book binding machines at 50 per cent subsidy.
In a bid to check migration of destitute women from rural to urban areas, Jaydev has planned to start a rural development wing with the assistance of the Central Government and United Nation Population Fund (UNPF). Health camps, awareness camps on hygiene, environment and community participation in development of villages would also be held.
He further pointed out that the scourge should be checked at its root and rural development programs "would make the vulnerable group, take up alternative profession''. He opined that if it is not checked at its roots, influx into the city for flesh trade would continue.
Case-sheets at three stages would provide enough inputs about the behavioral change of the inmates; he said adding that a confidential report would be maintained by the counselors. The data collected on the reasons for women taking up prostitution would help in checking new entrants.
On the response to the centre, he said many victims of the flesh trade have already approached and have evinced interest in the programme. They have come to make a fresh start and the centre would provide it, he further stated.
Besides this, the centre has planned to construct an `all religions hall' without sticking to religious strictures. The rehabilitation centre has drawn the attention of many non-governmental organizations.

THE IDEA
Today life is full of stress and anxiety and especially in metropolitan cities situation is the worst. Everyone is busy with his life, no time for family and himself even. Every person is running behind his hectic schedule. Life become so fast but still no time to relax for 5 minute and release the stress. No need to explain, you can easily analyze when you are in hurry to reach the office thinking of some of your personal tensions and then the whole day hectic schedule. Entertainment can add salt in this discomfort and distasteful life. It is the way of entertainment which keeps the life going. Else life becomes very dull and boring. Entertainment gives the life its charm and energy. If entertainment is removed from life then there will be a blank left behind. To fill this blank we need moments of entertainment in life. And some of these special moments become memories of future.
Entertainment can be of any type depending on one's choice and likes. There are so many electronic gadgets available to give entertaining moments to minds like the most common is T.V. and music systems. A tired person after coming back from office, if got a 15 minute time to watch its favorite show then that time is enough to relax his tiring mind. This small time period of entertainment can give a smile and a soothing effect to his mind. Music is a great way to relive the day to day stress and is also used for therapeutic purposes. Almost every person is interested in any kind of music. Even researches have proved that music's ubiquity and portability has made it the number one stress buster. It is a matter of fact that everyone on this earth has an inclination towards listening good quality music. The passion for music differs as per genre whereby youngsters mostly love fast and groovy numbers. People of the older times love classical music whereas kids like rhymes and children music. Not only this, many are attracted to listen natural sounds such as chirping of birds, water falling from the mountains and religious chants. When a person sits down with his eyes closed to listen his favorite music, the heart beat goes balanced and mind got relaxed. Music tunes the soul and renews the body. Playing music also relaxes the mind and slows down the tension. Interested people find pleasure in playing his favorite instrument. A piano or a guitar strings can give immense pleasure to a stressed mind.
Other than music, reading is one of the good sources of entertainment. People who love reading can go for good source of stuff to read. It can help relieve stress and definitely reenergize the mind. Reading is a very good habit. It not only helps to gain knowledge but creates good vocabulary and helps to have a better look of the outside world. Going out for picnic, chatting with family members or friends, dancing, singing etc. can give pleasure to a tired and sick mind. These simple ways lift up the mood and can buzz the day and put the life at an ease. In short, any sort of entertainment should be there in life to remove the boredom of life and to make the life dynamic and exciting always.

So all this will be provided to the people under one roof where they can relax themselves and take out sometime for themselves.

THE DESIGN
With the increase in population the land occupying rate by the people is increasing. In a populated city like Pakistan its will be hard to build such a large entertainment complex on a piece of land. It will be like snatching away the land from the people who deserve it. I am planning to build a flat tower, which will be a sustainable structure, providing energy to itself as well as the constructions below it.
The design will also be an inspiration from some natural form as it will be close to nature. For example:
Vincent Callebaut’s Coral Reef concept in Haiti “plans a matrix to build a three dimensional and energy self-sufficient village” for refugees from humanitarian crises. Anyway, Coral Reef draws on the “fluid and organic shapes” of the ocean, while “the overall project presents itself as a great living structure made of two waves dedicated to accommodate more than one thousand Haitian families”.
CASE STUDY
Beehive skyscraper: biomimetics and sustainable design
Architecture is an important area of application in developing concepts inspired by natural forms. Today is the turn of Flat Tower, an approach to sustainable urban living As concept for the future development of the city of Rennes, the hive-like structure of cells is intended to integrate high density living with open and agricultural space, as well as optimize space for solar power collection. It looks totally futuristic, which of course it is.
PROJECT 4
A cultural center: building or complex that promotes culture and arts. Cultural centers can be neighborhood community arts organizations, private facilities, government-sponsored, or activist-run. The centre will be a landmark in itself that is it will be a skyscraper. The skyscraper is also eco-friendly as most designs and features solar panels, water collectors, and wind turbines. Cultural richness and diversity in use, sustainability, and innovation particular to climatic influences in the region were primary drivers for concept development.
PROJECT 5
A museum and preservation centre for the extinct species of the land and the water. The museum will take you in Stone Age. Describing any living group as 'primitive' or 'Stone Age' inevitably implies that they are living representatives of some earlier stage of human development that the majority of humankind has left behind. For some, this could be a positive description, implying, for example, that such groups live in greater harmony with nature.... For others, 'primitive' is a negative characterization. For them, 'primitive' denotes irrational use of resources and absence of the intellectual and moral standards of 'civilized' human societies.... From the standpoint of anthropological knowledge, both these views are equally one-sided and simplistic.
The Fundamental idea is to create an iconic building that represents the culture in which it is immersed, to remind the native people where they come from in order to promote this philosophy to the outside world. Materializing this ancient philosophy in a cutting edge building connects the past with the present, giving long life to a culture that must be projected into the future. The vision of this building is the integration with its natural and urban environment, besides being spectacular, creates public spaces and nature.
PROJECT 6
A youth club or youth social club is a place where young people can meet and enjoy activities such as football, soccer, basketball, table tennis, or video games, and other religious, sports activities are frequently sponsored by a community center. Clubs and Projects are open to all people aged 10-21 and are places where you can go to meet your friends, make new friends, and learn or try new activities, some of which may be completely new to you. Young people can drop in to a youth club center any time and are welcome by the youth workers working there. Youth workers will encourage you to join in the club's programs. You could learn a new skill like music or computing, or possibly plan a trip away. You are also able to relax and listen to music or play pool, table tennis and much, much more - there are often activities specifically for girls and young women.
This youth club will follow prosthetic architecture. The idea of prosthesis sets up an interesting situation which questions the boundaries between existing private areas and adjacent proposed public programs. Prosthetic architecture has the ability to “cut out” detrimental facades and compromised structure and replaces them with a new formal species which will set up a dialogue between old and new.
Architecture is a prosthetic device, and, similar to other cultural expressions like language, fashion or art, submissive to continuous transformation. A successful prosthesis is able to answer a number of change conditions, but also undergo a process of modification, differentiation — in short, a process of evolution. Prosthetics can be mapped according to ‘technologies of the body’ that range from restorative over normalizing (imposing new social or aesthetic norms) to reconfiguring (changing the contextual relations) and enhancing (increasing functions or properties) aspects.
PROJECT 7
Film studios built in recycled architecture. On an urban waste land, by using the waste materials like metal, steel, bottles and other materials a building will be formed.
