Inhabitable Staircase is the Final project for the M.Arch GAD course at the Bartlett. Inhabitable Staircase argues the distinction between skin and structure. Architypical staircase deforms under the influence of FOP Disease and starts to corrupt the ar-chitpical staircase. Incorporating structural and ornamental changes within the staircase converting the staircase to form inhabitation within its function. Using three different studies “body scans.” “aRC(2)himera” and “Growth.” Inhabitable staircase is speculative yet performative.

The GAD Exhibition Table was designed, developed and fabricated to showcase the cluster’s work.

A 14.6 meters long Japa-nese table was designed to put students work on. The table was inspired from Zen Gardens, Croc skin and morphing.

A rich texture with ripples and islands was conceptu-alised and realized for the exhibition.

aRC(2)himeraIn Greek mythology the Chimera was a monstrous fire-breathing creature; the offspring of the most deadly Typhon (an enormous winged, feather-covered beast with snake coils as legs and a hundred dragons’ heads springing from his shoulders) and Echidna (a half woman, half snake creature). She had the body of a lioness, a tail ending in a snake’s head, and a goat’s head arising on her back at the centre of her spine. There are of course many other examples in different cultures. In Chinese art, winged quadrupeds such as the Bixie, Tianlu and Qilin could also be referred to as Chimeras. In genetics, biology and botany a Chimera represents an animal or plant with genetically distinct cells from two different zygotes (and it therefore is not a hybrid) or genetically different types of tissue; the resulting organism is a mixture of tissues, and of different sets of chromosomes. In paleontology, it is a fossil reconstructed with parts from different animals.

aRC(2)himera is an architectural chimera. From its distinct sets of digital chromosomes and analogue chromosomes evolves a monstrous mix-up of various ap-proaches that go from developing skin morphologies, structure anatomies, ornamental textures, responsive environments, biological growth, robotic behaviour, miniature devices, machinic fabrication, interactive media design, tactile/ haptic/sensorial feedback etc. To some this may look and sound outrageous and hor-rific—as it is neither elegant nor pure, nor truthful or correct (process-wise).

p. 15

Why this Frankensteinian, Modern Promethean approach? The grotesqueness of aRC(2)himera is only relative. aRC(2)himera must be seen in a postvirtual and postdigital context of New Materialism, which marks the ambition to escape from the old unsustainable (socially and environmentally) virtual and cyber architectural visions, and from the old off-the-shelf and unsustainable (environmentally and financially) architectural production methods towards innovative

applicable theories, techniques and technologies.

Cafe Aylanto Bistro, was conceptualized as a fast paced restaurant. Situated on Sea front, on a bridge. We took inspira-tion from the neighbouring environment such as timber structures and slats.A fusion of traditional and moden architecture was kept in mind just like the fusion food offered in the restaurant. Cafe Aylanto Bistro was a fast paced project which took a total duration of six months from conceptu-alization to realization.
