Objective: The agenda of conducting this workshopwas about an archetypal element in building construction: the staircase, its reinvention and the meaning it holds to architecture.
A staircase is usually an inverted”L” shape repeated ‘n’ number of times to create a device to ascend or transcend levels. The workshop explored how repetitions, profiles, forms and scalalogy can be used to change the perspective of what a staircase in and can be.
The workshop was carried out through sketching,3d visualisation and realised as a scaled down through modelling boards,lasercut materials and 3d prints through a guided process of learning.

Title: Teacher's Training Program in Collaboration with COA- TRC
Objective: The process of designing in architecture is a complex phenomenon. Architectural design studio discourses at various schools of architecture involve evolution of abstract thoughts into tangible and intangible realities. The design approach, methodology and tools adopted to inspire students for design exploration should explore the contextual aspects and design as per the context.
In this context, a teacher should have varied exposure to various pedagogical environments in order to prepare students to co-relate with complex scenarios in their future professional interface.
The primary objective of this Five day Teacher's Training Program comprising of informative lecture sessions, deliberations, debates and interactive hands-on activities is to promote a value based teaching and learning methodologies for Architectural Design Studio, focussing not only on the physical and visual attributes, but highlighting the role of responsible architecture.
