this time on the 7th floor in bandra with projects that numbed my brain. the only thing i could see in the projects were toilets. a rural hospital in dahanu and a cultural center in jaipur. all the kids drew tree like circulation diagrams and then went ahead and made them one storied buildings. no matter what the context was these projects were completely self referential. it was not even as if they were particularly well resolved as far as bubble diagrams went. and after the organisation was set roof shapes (read as pitched in dahanu) and façade treatment (read as arches in jaipur) paid lip service element design contextualism towards the sites. and when the projects ended up being this uninspiring the only thing i could do was make sure that the student at least knew how to make toilets.
