DIY - Urbanism: A development strategy for Almere Oosterwold, titled ‘Estate for Initiatives’ is a revolution in Dutch urban planning as it steps away from governmental dictate and invites organic urban growth in which initiatives are stimulated and inhabitants can create their own neighbourhoods including public green, urban agriculture and roads.”
- could therefore been seen as an evolutionary planning process (cities as evolutionary entities) (Mashall (2009) Cities, Design and Evolution)

I am a very digital graphic designer who mostly uses vectors to create my designs. I hardly ever touch crafts or projects which require hands on but I decided to give it a shot and play. My definition of “play” is to experiment. I want to see what the end product is when I do achieve it as I am unable to visualize it unlike my digital works.

Patterns in the Futuristic Architecture by Sachin Tekade
‘Patterns in the FUTURISTIC ARCHITECTURE’ is based on my experiences and works with architecture students in Mumbai. I am impressed with their ability to transform ‘ideas’ into a tactile reality. Tangibility is a commendable quality of architecture in general. I have explored this aspect in my work.
Basic analysis of architectural forms from Modern to Contemporary would suggest that geometric shapes like cubes, triangles and spheres were formally explored. Today the architects are engaged with more complicated forms, one of which is the ’DNA – Spiral’ . Portraying various cross-over patterns of spirals is the main objective of this series.
