Architectural case study of IIM ahemdabad by louis i khan
This document provides details about the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad, India, which was completed in 1963. It was designed by famous architect Louis Kahn, with B.V. Doshi and Anant Raje. The campus includes academic buildings such as classrooms and faculty blocks arranged around a central plaza, as well as dormitories, a library, auditorium, and management development center spread across 66 acres. Brick is the primary building material. The layout separates academic and residential areas while integrating social activities between students and staff.
auditorium
Acoustical considerations in designing musical auditoriums are complex with many interrelated factors. An ideal reverberation time (RT) must balance fullness of tone with loudness, definition, and diffusion. However, RT alone does not guarantee acoustic excellence - it is one contributing factor. Definition is satisfactory if the initial time delay gap is under 20 milliseconds, direct sound is loud relative to reverberant sound, and there is no echo. Providing adequate bass over large audiences is difficult since many instruments are weak in fundamentals.
case study of chandigarh college of architecture
1) The Chandigarh College of Architecture (CCA) was established in 1961 in Chandigarh, India by Le Corbusier as part of the Chandigarh Experiment.
2) CCA is located on a 20,000 square meter campus in Sector 12 of Chandigarh and has an enrollment of 200 undergraduate students.
3) The building utilizes north light and ventilation and includes facilities such as studios, workshops, a library and computer lab to support the education of architecture students.
Auditorium Acoustics
The document discusses the design considerations for auditoriums and recording studios. It addresses factors like room shape, size, absorption, diffusion, and reverberation time that impact acoustics. For auditoriums, a sloped floor and splayed walls can improve speech intelligibility. Absorption is placed in seating areas while keeping the stage reflective. Recording studios require low ambient noise and optimal reverberation. Room dimensions impact resonant modes so larger, irregularly-shaped rooms are preferred.
NATIONAL INSITUTE OF DESIGN
The document provides information on the National Institute of Design located in Paladi, Ahmedabad, India. It was designed in 1961 by architects Sarabhai and Gira on a 63,848 sqm site along the Sabarmati River. The master plan divides the campus into three parts - the institute complex containing the academic buildings, a residential block, and public areas. The complex contains administration blocks, lecture halls, a library, workshops, laboratories, an exhibition space, auditorium, faculty rooms, and circulation areas. The residential block has hostel buildings and quarters for guests and staff. Landscaping with lawns and courtyards helps reduce the campus temperature.

1 s2.0-s1877705817316855-main
This document discusses using 4D BIM (Building Information Modeling) to improve environmental planning and management during construction projects. It begins by noting the environmental impacts of construction activities and importance of effective environmental management plans. It then describes challenges with current plans, including communication gaps and lack of monitoring. The document proposes that 4D BIM capabilities developed for construction scheduling and monitoring could also support environmental planning and management through dynamic modeling of plans, site activities, and impacts over time. Finally, it identifies prerequisites for a 4D BIM framework to enable collaborative development and onsite monitoring of environmental management systems.
UNCDF local NAP supplementary guideline April 2019
The document discusses the importance of integrating adaptation actions at the subnational level as highlighted in the Paris Agreement. It argues that the national adaptation plan (NAP) process needs subnational involvement to properly identify and address local adaptation needs, mainstream climate change, and facilitate collaboration. However, local authorities often lack the capacity and financing to effectively contribute. The Local Climate Adaptive Living Facility aims to address this by providing methodological support for local adaptation planning and mainstreaming, and by using performance-based climate resilience grants to support least developed countries in planning and implementing local adaptation investments. The guidelines outline steps for countries to systematically integrate subnational adaptation through activities like assessing climate risks, prioritizing options, building capacity, and monitoring progress.

Evaluation of the SEA for the Dhaka Metropolitan Plan
The document evaluates the strategic environmental assessment (SEA) conducted for the Dhaka Metropolitan Development Plan in Bangladesh. The SEA aimed to integrate environmental and social considerations into urban development planning but achieved negligible results. Key explanatory factors for the limited effectiveness included a lack of local ownership over the SEA process and results as well as insufficient follow-up and capacity building after the initial assessment. The evaluation highlights the importance of embedding SEA within the local administration and ensuring genuine commitment to local ownership of the process.

Redefining Sustainable Design: The New AIA COTE Measures
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Committee on the Environment (COTE) is the oldest U.S. program dedicated to sustainable design. In 1997, COTE introduced its annual Top Ten Awards, “the profession's best known recognition program for sustainable design excellence” (AIA), to celebrate exemplary projects and give the industry guidance on how to integrate green building principles. In 2015, to mark its 25th anniversary, COTE embarked on a landmark research initiative to study the first two decades of Top Ten, published in 2016 as Lessons from the Leading Edge. Part of the research was to revisit the program’s criteria of evaluation, known as the COTE Measures of Sustainable Design. The result of this effort was to overhaul the program with a completely new set of principles and metrics. The 2017 Top Ten Awards are the first year to use new criteria such as economic impact and more robust metrics for health and resilience. In this presentation, three members of the COTE Advisory Group presented the new criteria and engage the audience in a lively discussion about what defines sustainable design.

ISCN 2019 - Rapid Round
This study evaluated the effects of intercropping aromatic plants like rosemary and basil with olive trees in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The aromatic plants grew well but had no significant effect on olive tree productivity, including number of inflorescences, fruits, and average fruit weight. The neutral effect may be because not enough time elapsed for the aromatic plants to produce chemical compounds, their density was too low, or olive production was low that year due to climate variability. Intercropping could still be a viable practice and deserves further testing under normal weather conditions and with higher aromatic plant density to better understand potential effects.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
