ARC.HV®(wip) is an idea dedicated to put light on the importance of community through experimental self initiated projects.&nbsp; Our current projects vary across fields of art, architecture, design, engineering and fabrication. The fusion of various disciplines and participants aids our process of creation. Escaping the realm of solo practitioners, we strongly believe in the power of working together. And are consciously focusing our energies towards establishing selfless approaches of creating. We aim to achieve this by exploring various methods of collaborations with every new project and thoroughly documenting them in this online archive. ARC.HV® is currently fuelled by the time contributed by its participants. We are open to more collaborations, ideas and conversations and are willing to share/support them with all the resources we have.

As designers, we feel a grounding sense of calm in community and inspiration. VIRTUAL GODS was created to investigate new methods of effective collaborations and exhibitions. This experimental exercise was initiated to facilitate an essence of togetherness during the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown. During an exchange that spanned across 3 weeks, various multi-disciplinary participants connected to trade new tools and design languages while discovering new processes &amp; theories. The goal was to traverse a beautiful dialogue while manifesting unique 3D Virtual Worlds. These 3D creations and their formation have been documented in form of&nbsp; INDIA’S FIRST VIRTUAL GROUP ART EXHIBIT. Virtual Gods is a development of our project Scarpin' which attempts to bridge the gap between architecture and visual media. This years brief involved the participants to exchange their 2D illustrations with each other and reinterpret them to 3D compositions. Aim: To exercise the extents of virtual art, architecture, exhibition and collaboration. The exhibition was live from 01st AUG- 31st AUG 2020 and has ended.If you missed it and want to request access or want to share feedback, please write to us on collab@archv.in Currently only accesible by our participants and patrons download exhibition guidebook ︎︎︎ enter exhibition︎︎︎Best Experienced on a Desktop/Laptop https://archv.in/VNDLS Mon, 30 Dec 2019 14:39:03 +0000 ARC.HV https://archv.in/VNDLS VNDLS Published: Platform Magazine November 2020 Mentors: Faizan Khatri Participants: Nayan Mote Sneha Desai Yash Pendse Advaita Kelkar Varun Mehta <img width="1800" height="1199" width_o="1800" height_o="1199" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9544269e878a9fb3f86830142428ff1deafec3db398395f1ebb5986ee8b85ad4/VANDALS-GIF-Banner.gif" data-mid="57627788" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9544269e878a9fb3f86830142428ff1deafec3db398395f1ebb5986ee8b85ad4/VANDALS-GIF-Banner.gif" /> Description:Initiated through a group gathering on Sundays, VNDLS‘&nbsp;objective is to discuss and map out issues relating to the future of local environments. Instead of using “awareness” as a design trigger, the group focuses its goals towards vandalizing for the good.This allows us to&nbsp;put conscious focus on social design through quick guerrilla actions into our local urban landscape. We intend to design alternate beneficial systems for humans, that investigate local issues which the group collectively identifies. This enables us to transition change in bits and pieces into the society, rather than providing temporary solutions to a long-standing problem.&nbsp; Aim: To look beyond awareness of local environmental issues, through Guerrilla Urban Interventions. member access︎︎︎ This project is a WIP and is currently being documented.It is only accesible by our participants and patrons for the time being.

This was acquired by defining a display typeface which expresses the complex Devanagri script in a minimal system and is concurrently followed by the glyph attributes of its Latin counterpart. The study then attempted to map out the correlations between the anatomy of both the scripts. Currently the study is being tested with other existing fonts that have variable grid systems for a broader understanding. Aim: To create a digital system that assists the conversion of existing Latin Display Typefaces into Devanagari format. enter︎︎︎ request access︎︎︎ Please mention your name and the project name in the form https://archv.in/HY-PR Mon, 30 Dec 2019 13:44:30 +0000 ARC.HV https://archv.in/HY-PR HY.PR Published: Celebrate Bandra Festival, Public Art exhibition 17th-25th November 2018 Mentors: - Participants: Zia Bhai + Javed Bhai- Metal Fabrication Siddhant Patel- 3D Printing Varun Mehta <img width="600" height="750" width_o="600" height_o="750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b252099d4fbd6219fa0813f7564a6239809dab5545711b199ef2344aa441a3a2/ezgif-7-f1375f918406.gif" data-mid="57427200" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/600/i/b252099d4fbd6219fa0813f7564a6239809dab5545711b199ef2344aa441a3a2/ezgif-7-f1375f918406.gif" /> <img width="600" height="750" width_o="600" height_o="750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dcbf3402c9b4aae4f80a6e3e568cd33f60cdc99d0941c42f1d26c08f423ffdee/Top-View.gif" data-mid="57626956" border="0" data-no-zoom="true" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/600/i/dcbf3402c9b4aae4f80a6e3e568cd33f60cdc99d0941c42f1d26c08f423ffdee/Top-View.gif" /> Description:An experimental kinetic form exploration that investigates basic geometries morphing into dynamic complex forms.

Aim: To understand Scalable Multiaxial Pivot Mechanisms in the digital and physical realm. member access︎︎︎This project is a WIP and is currently being documented.It is only accesible by our participants and patrons for the time being.To know more or share your ideas + thoughts regarding HY.PR&nbsp;click here︎︎︎ Please mention your name and the project name in the form https://archv.in/Scarpin Fri, 27 Dec 2019 19:07:01 +0000 ARC.HV https://archv.in/Scarpin Scarpin’ Published: Reject Exhibit by Design Fabric (26-30th September, 2018) Mentors: Samir Raut 823 Participants:Various Artists <img width="1800" height="1200" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/eb907ed533d23bd209d1bc037198659ffa61142974af0d915873a901eb02a9b9/Scarpin-Carosel_19.12.28Artboard-1.jpg" data-mid="57297602" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/eb907ed533d23bd209d1bc037198659ffa61142974af0d915873a901eb02a9b9/Scarpin-Carosel_19.12.28Artboard-1.jpg" /> Description:The quest to find a link between architecture and graphic design drives these explorations. It gives hope to create a knot between these two worlds. The pleasure of projecting architecture in form of graphic media created this coherent visual world, which continues to be extended into something beautiful. Initiated by expressing the complex geometries of Carlos Scarpa (Architect) in a visual format, the journey was later extended into a collaborative exercise. Aim: To express architecture through graphic design in form of digital and print media. enter︎︎︎Scarpin has been documented in an archive of illustrations created in MAY 2020.
