STATEMENT OF INTENT
The view of a continuous line of window panes which stood like trees in an avenue often nudged my mind to reconsider what previously seemed quite obvious – is it possible to become an Architect who can proudly autograph the skyline of a city someday? And Yes, I did. Architecture was a natural choice for me than a career option. The joy of integrating Arts, Math and Functionality to a building gave me so much thrill. I always urged my acute imagination into designing buildings like the way Frank O Gehry, Kenzo Tange did. Most commoners disregard architecture as a form of just art or just lines drawn on a piece of paper. Irrespective of such ignorance, I strongly believe that Architecture is most definitely a practical form of art, wherein creativity and logic, much like theories and practical education has to

I find it disheartening to learn that most of the buildings in India are not disable friendly. Autism is a developmental disorder and along with it, most pupils suffer from physical disability, sight and hearing impairments & have difficulties in accessing curriculum and the environment than those who are not. My objective was to create easy accessibility, better infrastructure and serene environment for the children. My design also focused on various sustainable design concepts. My thesis was well appreciated by the jury members who practice as eminent architects in India.
During my Practical training in B.Arch. with RSP design consultants (India) Pvt. Ltd in Gurgaon. We worked on the mixed - use development along with by Foster + Partners, London. It comprised of Grand Hyatt Hotel, Office tower, Grand Hyatt residential and High street. I gained practical experience and abilities that cannot be learned in the university. I also learnt about the use of dry walls and how futuristic apartments and hotels can be constructed over a limited span of
Personal attitudes towards people with a disability would have strongly influenced the town of Endora’s behaviour to Arnie. Music played in the film was soft and may have been used to make the audience feel sympathy towards Arnie because he has a disability. However, Hallstrom’s analysis of people with autism cannot be completely accurate as in the film it never recognises that people with autism are highly intelligent in the creative field. Recent studies are shown that the way people perceive creativity and people with autism should be reconsidered. The research article concludes that the authors found that “Autistic people tend to be superior to non-autistic people in many tasks that require processing large amounts of information, picking out details of objects or scenes, or detecting changes in the environment.”
Social interaction problems arise when persons with autism find it very difficult to mingle. Problems associated with interaction include finding it difficult to establish and maintain friendship, lack of interest in people, withdrawing oneself from other people, not paying attention in anything, being distant, and difficulty in expressing one’s feelings and emotions. Social imagination is being able to understand a person’s behavior, thoughts, feelings, and a person’s creativity. People with autism find it hard in imagination due to problem such as general imagination difficulty, trouble in comprehension of future events, challenge in shifting to new and unfamiliar situations, and finding it difficult to understand other person’s feelings, actions, and thoughts. Autism in the Inclusive Classroom Inclusive classroom entails bringing of students with and without disabilities together in school to access education in a general class.
I had to design a 30 storey residental structure in ETABS and SAP as well as performed VBA modeling in Excel to obtain the Center of Rigid (COR) of the building to optimize steel requirements from the effect of torsion. Also, I was assigned to design two foundation types: shallow foundation and reinforced concrete pile foundation. Additionally, I had to prepare and delivered presentation on the importance of quality checks and safety at the construction site. Armed with sound training in basic theories and applied technology, I put them into pratice by participating many summer interships. These practical experiences gave me opportunities to involve in all practical steps in design and construction of structures.
Summary: Positive behavioural supports are specifically intended to increase the occurrence of desirable behaviours with students who struggle to consistently behave in an appropriate manner and to eliminate (or gradually decrease) negative and undesirable behaviours, both in school and outside of school. The primary focus of such interventions is often on students with autism who struggle with social interaction and behaviour, social communication and, resort to repetitive, potentially disruptive and occasionally, self-injurious behaviours. Therefore, positive behavioural supports that are visual and easily accessible by the student have been proven to reduce undesirable behaviours and to increase more positive, desirable behaviours. The most common form of visual behaviour support in the classroom is picture schedules. These schedules are used to inform and remind students of events, lessons and, changes that are to occur during the regular school day.
It is such a realization that has motivated me to conclude that contributing to the professional evolution of architecture will provide me with a feeling of fulfillment and provide me with a meaningful
I have completed my project of observes/participate in 15 hours and 12 minutes at Arts’ N Autism. Arts’ N Autism practicum setting of the sprout room is a room upstairs in the center ages from 4 to 8 who are after school children with Autism. The sprout room is big enough for all seven of the children. Each child has a basket holder located on the right side of the classroom from their personal items such as their pants, pull-ups, and toys. There are two computers located on the classroom desk.
Utilizing that knowledge in architectural and urban design can guide architecture towards a more humane experience.
More than any architectural style, however, the Bauhaus promoted principles of creative collaboration—planning, designing, drafting, and construction are equally important when buildings constructed. (Craven,
Fostering a tolerant, inclusive and friendly environment for special needs children by creating activities which will bring them closer to the community they live in. The activities to which they will participate outside school such as visits at museums or other activities will make children visible in the community and contribute to a better understanding in society of disability and the role of community in integrating them in their daily life.
It is not possible to reach broad conclusions about all students with disabilities, and even within groupings, caution should be exercised. Distinctions between categories of disability are not absolute. There is a wide range of severity, with and without co-occurring conditions. It is necessary to consider some broad groupings of students with somewhat similar conditions to understand their needs and the services they require. Respect and understanding will be notice when children of differing disabilities and cultures play and learn together.
Therefore, I learned a lot from my experience and I feel confident that I will be able to apply my skills to my personal life, academic journey and professional
1.2 Statement of Significance Art can do lots of things that can create powerful and great changes in ourselves. Artist is someone that is so hard to read if we fail to understand them to interpret the underlying meaning behind their painting because it is their getaway to express their emotions and desires to the community. To accomplish this, the artists are communicating with the society by delivering their messages through their artworks.
Should Children with Disabilities be allowed to enroll in regular school? Every human being is equal and has the right to education irrespective of race, sex and religion. In the past generally people with disabilities were discriminated against and excluded from society. However, people’s attitudes, towards this group have started to change and they are beginning to enjoy article same freedoms like any other people.
Creativity can be defined as the willingness to be courageous, adventurous, daring and to try new things. Creative people take risks and produce some of the best ideas. When designing and making, creative work is likely to bring about original knowledge which will incur risk taking. Innovation and risk taking are skills that are close together, everyone that knows it have to deal with creating something new everyday. Being creative does not only involve the study of art, which is how it has been perceived through the years.
A considerable percentage of architects in India work on house projects from
