After focusing on developing drawing and representation skills in first semester, during the second semester, the CFP Studio component focuses on building analytical abilities with exercises like mapping and data representation, buidling elements and materials, making and testing structures, technical drawing II and tackling a design problem. These skills will be put to use during L2 studios, and will be discussed in their relevance to the professional practice that designers, architects and urban planners engage in.

Slide 1: Final and process sheets of mapping exercise. The site given to me was Manek Chowk which was then further modified according to the study topic which focused on the commercialization and its impacts on both the chowk as well as the pol areas adjacent to it.

Slide 2: Making and testing structures. The structure given to us was an inclined structure(minimum 15 degree inclination) We had to conduct two tests since the first time there was no structural failure rather only the joints loosened up hence another test was held after rectifying the joineries. The structure experienced torsion and collapsed after carrying three bricks.
