AUROVILLE!!!
THE CITY TO DAWN..
Auroville has the highest concentration of alternative and appropriate energy systems in India, including solar, wind and biogas generating systems. Of particular interest are the huge 15-metre diameter solar collector installed on the roof of the Solar Kitchen, designed to generate enough steam to cook over 2,000 meals a day, and the Matrimandir Solar Power Plant, believed to be the largest stand-alone system in India, comprising 484 photovoltaic modules with total capacity of 36.3 KW. Some 750 homes and/or offices operate entirely or mostly on solar power. See also “Wind energy generators”.

The topic of sustainability is at the forefront of current international discussions. The rising importance placed on green practices has been prompted by the rapid depletion of natural resources, and the increased anthropogenic interference in the natural climatic balance. Private and public research institutions and bodies are continuously researching and working on innovative technologies and systems which are environmentally viable for the today’s society, and Auroville is a part of this pursuit for a sustainable future. The presentation deals with how the use of sustainable technology and design helps Auroville to have a better life. It shows the different technologies that are used in Auroville which serves as renewable resource, comparing the cost of Compressed Stabilised Earth Block (CSEB) with other types of blocks.
Auroville, City of dawn is located in state of Tamil Nadu, India, near Pondicherry in South India. .Auroville was founded as a project on experimental basis of the ‘Sri Arbindo Society’ on Wednesday 28 February 1968. The basic idea originated from Mirra Alfassa ‘The Mother ‘who was spiritually related to India.
Ma envisaged Auroville as an international township for 50,000 residents on the shape of a flower. Architect Roger Anger refined the planning and designed it in shape of Universe.He placed Matrimandir at the center of this city.
Mary Alfassa in her first message regarding the town stated that, "Auroville is meant to be a universal town where men and women of al countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony, above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities”

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

can be reached via shaded alleyways in a few minutes walking. Aurovilians on their way
to the International Zone will take the public transport system circling Matrimandir

15. STRENGTH
• The city planning of Auroville is based on
principle of sustainability.
• Red Soil with good amount of iron oxide
which makes a good building material.
• Site is surrounded by green belt.
WEAKNESS
• Lack of infrastructure, especially power and water supply,
were mentioned in two cases.
• The problem is lack of planning efforts in centralized
infrastructure.
• At present Auroville is highly decentralized communities

• Compressed Stabilised Earth Blocks (CSEB)
18. CONCLUSION
Auroville in 1986 would integrate social, spiritual and environmental consciousness in
its growth . This social consciousness alongside the natural environment has created
the ideal experiment for innovation and design.
There is a very evident social consciousness of entire community towards sustainable
