Picturing: Human & Nature
Discovering human and nature relationships through photo stories
Our relationship with nature has historically been one of imbalance and overuse. Nearly every step in human history has unfortunately been accompanied by a leap in environmental degradation. At first, humans were incredibly in-tune with their surroundings. Nomadic hunter-gatherer tribes used to roam the lands, following the ebb and flow of the seasons. These tribes had a measurable impact on the environment, but their influence was relatively manageable due to their population size. With advancements in technology and agriculture though, humans began to find more efficient ways of sustaining themselves. These advancements allowed for more permanent settlements, which led to rapid population growth and a distancing from nature.
This imbalance has potentially caused a lot of immeasurable and irreparable damage, which needs an emergency course correction.
The objective of this challenge is to inform this crucial balance between man and nature. The brief/theme of the challenge to make a picture story using not more than 8 images – along with a concept note.

Picturing: Streets - Discovering global streets through visual stories
Etymologically, A street is a public thoroughfare in a built environment. It is a public parcel of land adjoining buildings in an urban context, on which people may freely assemble, interact, and move about. A street can be as simple as a level patch of dirt but is more often paved with a hard, durable surface such as tarmac, concrete, cobblestone, or brick.
Mind Matters - Mental health awareness with a visual
Mental illnesses affect 19% of the adult population, 46% of teenagers, and 13% of children each year. People struggling with their mental health may be in your family, live next door, teach your children, work in the next cubicle, or sit in the same aisle. However, only half of those affected receive treatment, often because of the stigma attached to mental health. Untreated, mental illness can contribute to higher medical expenses, poorer performance at school and work, fewer employment opportunities, and increased risk of suicide.
The Brief of this particular challenge is to make a poster/artwork – that either promotes mental health awareness OR visualizes the effects of poor mental health on our daily lives through metaphorical/surreal illustrations. The images should not depict any form of self-harm, but shall be something that can be shared by people to carry your message with the poster.

Elementorize - Architectural elements as buildings - Staircase
Several elements build architecture, which sometimes is even tough to list. These elements can include compound objects like walls, floor, roof, to smaller parts like lights, furniture, or even tiles.
The designs for these elements have been changing from project to project – but their presence has been consistent across various applications and locations. Any building in the world is not complete without elements like door, window, stairs, - and these elements are extremely templatized. Call it for manufacturing ease or even to speed up the construction times – these elements are mostly fixed into buildings like blocks.
However – the ability to tap into these elements is one of the crucial ways a building interacts with people.
The building form may look all inspiring and elating. Yet, people use a building with its doors – windows, and staircases.

Residence Rush - Fast paced residence design competition
No matter how projects are planned – the design eventually is a product of panic and days left to deadline. Even structured processes and schedules fail in a client meeting, where expectations and the design have sought different roads.
The deadline dilemma is so true and universal across all regions and places that it is an inseparable part in professional and academic life. And despite planning / scheduling being placed, it eventually boils down to the performance in that key period that defines success or failure.
Set academic courses follow predictability - training for this wild period is quintessential if not more. If deadline frenzy has been the past, present and the future –
How can we train for it to create meaningful work in limited time? How can we sharpen skills and techniques that help us train across such short spans to excel despite the turbulence?

Chair Challenge - Discovering the most relevant chairs of 21st Century.
Chairs are a necessity of every home today and can be easily used to refresh the look of the house. Armchairs, Slipper Chairs, Study Chairs, Dining Chairs, etc. are some of the innumerable kinds of chairs to select from.
A chair brings together practicality, creativity, and most importantly engineering.
Although it has been used since ancient times, for many centuries it was only used by royalty and nobility.
But, if we go back into history, we didn’t use chairs as much as we use it today. If need be, early humans sat on bare ground or logs or rocks. But because these firms had their own challenges, different forms of seats began to evolve, and thus, chairs came into existence and have now become an essential part of our living.
Pre 12th Century, seats were primarily three-legged stools or benches, with no back. They were primitive, crudely made, and purely functional.
But how did we get to the chairs of today?

Ascend - Designing a Staircase for a Client
With Ascend, UNI introduces a new typology in the realm of Classroom Competitions. It intends to give an opportunity to students to master the potential of different building elements, that compose the design of a structure.
We also understand that a client’s input is critical in anchoring a building’s design. For an experience that is highlighted by the demands of the user, it is necessary for a designer and the client to work in unison. The competition intends to provide students an opportunity to devise design directives, by anchoring the client as the main focus. The client, though fictional, is rooted in the context of the real world.
The competition embarks on the idea of creating fundamental design challenges to enhance a student's learning experience. Providing opportunities that one may come across outside the domain of a design school.

Brewed - Bali - Beach themed café design challenge
Coffee plants grew in the wilderness in Ethiopia and were used by nomadic tribes for thousands of years, only until the 1400s when people figured out that they could roast their seeds. By the 1500s, the drink had spread to coffee houses across the Arab world. Coffee houses first appeared in Turkey, Syria, and Egypt as early as 1530. Since they became a hotspot for political discussions, they were banned repeatedly.
Subsequently, throughout the 1600s coffee houses began popping up across Europe and North America. The French and American Revolutions were said to have brewed in coffeehouses. Lloyd’s of London, a major insurance company, started as a coffeehouse that was frequented by merchants and sailors.
The coffee house acted as a perfect mid-ground for a meetup, between other options like places of spiritual significance or formal restaurants. Here creativity and innovation thrived through conversations. They have long been associated with writers, artists, and intellectuals and represented a safe and comfortable space to share news, discuss philosophy or politics. This surge in innovation was not only owing to the design of the space - the physical gathering of people from different backgrounds and fields of expertise - but also to coffee itself.

Right-Live-Stock - Re-thinking for animal farms for a sustainable world
With a growing population, the consumption and popularity of meat and dairy products have been skyrocketing. A lot of ethnic origins advocated for a balanced plant origin and animal origin diet – or at least constraints to balancing both. But as we urbanize more, meat and dairy consumption globally has grown 400% in the last decades and is continuing to grow more.
With a growing city population and sectoral depletion of natural resources not only animal habitats close to cities have shrunk to almost limits. At the same time, an entire industry is now set up to raise livestock in closed atmospheres and feeding them with genetically modified food and medicines for raising yields.
This leads to not only poor living conditions for animals – at the same time humans consuming dairy, meat products are prone to ingesting such chemicals and agents with them.
Where is the balance?

AllCart v1 - The open source handcart design challenge
The market scenario is changing rapidly with every passing decade. With technology pushing almost every digital interaction automated from warehouse to home solutions, the streets are a choice now and not a go to destination for all of us.
A social network to the city in the offline realm, the streets have been a place to serve the city by people from all backgrounds of life.
The digital motion not only moves a lot of economic activity to screens – it builds a huge wall for people especially from lower strata to participate in commerce activities freely. And the public health concerns at the same time have changed the game entirely for most of these breadwinners who in turn made our streets how they used to be.
What does this mean for the future? And especially the future of the streets?

Staydium 2.0 -Stadiums that stay.
Since the origin of Olympics in 1896, sports events have gained a massive popularity worldwide. These events are big for all countries and a matter of great pride and responsibility for the host nation. It gives host a chance to reflect upon their cultural values & promote tourism. Huge sums of public money is invested in organising these events, out of which a major chunk is invested in preparing the venues for sports events to be witnessed by global audience.
To cater to a larger audience, the scale of venues for major sports events is magnificent which require large investment of public money. However, this becomes a massive issue, majorly in developing regions. The limited usage of such buildings after the event add a layer of issue in name of maintenance cost. These structures often become a liability for host. Historically, a large number of such venues were demolished to reuse the land which may not the most ideal way to deal with public resources.

Supergarten-
Developing a relevant kindergartens of today
Our children are sent to kindergarten with the best intention, believing that formal education is what kids need to become productive happy adults.
Education begins at playschools, a place that handles these blooming minds and their first interaction of out of home learning with their peers.
While education curriculum varies from place to place how can built form itself can be a great teacher of various elements of life?
Kindergartens offer a lot of opportunities to teach children about basic spheres of life, yet most utilize rooms and surfaces only.
How can the architecture of the kindergarten boost exploration and curiosity while creating a safe enclosure for the children?
How well are we managing these shoots of imagination especially in changing times of today?

Echo of Rubble -
Post-war debris product design competition
While it’s true, the damage from the war can sometimes be so huge, it can’t be determined how to even start rebuilding again. And before even, we rebuild the huge rubble problem as a piece of inseparable baggage that can only be solved by dumping somewhere else.
The design challenge calls for an initiative in new post-war cities, developing product ideas that can form and transport social & cultural vision as well as the real texture from the spot of crisis that makes you imagine, think,s and also hear the echo of this rubble.
We are looking for new industrial design ideas that can be created from it, as an integral design process that combines intense conceptualization, computation, post-war materials, modern materials & rapid prototyping, which give a new dimension to the rubble problem.

#mycityscape
Many mapped the city of the 20th century, but how can we map the city of the 21st century? What tools will we use? What establishes the identity of a city? What distinguishes one urban environment from the other? What defines our relationship to the built landscape we inhabit?
