One of the principals aims of the competition is to explore hidden talents among younger Architects. To many competitors, it often is the first step to a successful career.
Competition Guidelines as laid down by the Council of Architecture protect and safeguard the interests both of the promoter and the competitor.
While ensuring the promoter a design of high standard and adjudged as such by prominent Architects acting as Assessors, it also ensures that each competitor competes on like conditions and within the same limitations.
Both the promoter and the competitor are assured by these guidelines that the entries will be judged only by those who are qualified to interpret the competitors' presentations and to judge if the design selected meets with the promoter's requirements.
The guidelines therefore lay considerable emphasis on the mandatory requirement of Assessors and the qualifications.
The appointment of the Assessors should therefore be the immediate and first step the moment the promoter decides to go in for a competition. The President of the Council of Architecture, if so, requested by the promoter, may suggest a panel of names experienced in this type of project proposed, for appointment as Assessors. Their responsibilities commence with the approval of the brief of the competition project. The Assessor may even help to prepare the brief.
For practical reasons, this responsibility is often taken by the Senior Assessor who would then be available to advise the promoter on all matters connected with the competition from the promoter's decision to hold the competition till the final award.
Role of Indian Institute of Architects as a professional body in IndiaKrittika Walia
The Indian Institute of Architects (IIA) is the national body that represents architects in India. It was established in 1917 and aims to promote the profession of architecture. It has over 12,000 members across the country. The IIA works to advance architectural education and practice through various programs and committees. It also represents India on international architecture organizations. The IIA is a voluntary organization registered under the Societies Registration Act, while the Council of Architecture (COA) is the statutory body established by the Architects Act of 1972 to regulate architectural education and registration in India. The COA focuses on maintaining registration standards, while the IIA serves as more of a professional community for architects.
The document discusses the Architects Act of 1972 and the Council of Architecture (COA) established under the Act. It provides the following key details:
1) The Architects Act of 1972 created a statutory body called the COA to regulate the architecture profession through registration of architects, establishing standards of education and practice, and maintaining a register.
2) The COA is headed by a President and consists of members representing architectural institutions and organizations. It is responsible for registration, recognizing qualifications, and handling misconduct inquiries.
3) The Act aims to protect the title of "Architect" and establishes the process and qualifications for registration with the COA, which allows one to practice as an architect in India.
Architects Professional Liability
Whether a small architecture enterprise or a multinational million dollar conglomerate, the work of architects and engineers is constantly under the spotlight. No matter how careful and exact an architect or engineer is, their work is constantly scrutinized by clients, leaving the chance of facing a lawsuit alleging negligence or failure to render professional services. Working in an industry that continues to feel the negative effects of the economy, architects and engineers cannot afford to take this risk - and that is where we can help.
The document discusses various types of architectural design competitions. It describes:
1) Open competitions are open to all architects, while limited competitions invite a select number (5-8) of architects. Two-stage competitions have an initial concept stage and a second design stage for a smaller number (5-10) of finalists.
2) Competitions can be for actual building projects or conceptual ideas. Student design competitions allow participation by architecture students.
3) Competitions must adhere to guidelines to ensure fair selection of winners based solely on design merit. Assessors must include a majority of registered architects. Competitors retain copyright and right to reproduce their designs.
The document discusses the Architects Act of 1972 and the Council of Architecture in India. It outlines that the Act regulates the education, registration, and practice of architects in India.

General Assembly of the UNO recommends that UNCITRAL adopted in 1985 be the basis of new law to bring about uniformity of law of arbitral procedures and the specific needs of the international commercial arbitration practice
Though UNCITRAL deals with international disputes, with certain modification they could serve domestic arbitration and conciliation.
New act seeks to consolidate and amend the laws relating to domestic arbitration, international commercial arbitration, enforce foreign arbitral award and define laws relating to conciliation
Lessons for Architects from Arbitration cases
One of the main reasons why disputes arise between owners and contractor as far as construction projects are concerned is that quite a few architects do not perform their roles as Project Architect and Quasi-Arbitrators early on in the project.
Some of the steps that he can do to prevent such disputes are
Production drawings.- Complete and freeze design and drawings prior to tender.
Notification formalities- Issue all notifications on time
Certification of bill- Approve/certify all bills on time and ensure payments
Time as “Essence of Contract”.- Avoid Holds that can lead to extension of time.
Final Accord and satisfaction-Ensure full and final payment is done.
Minutes of site meetings- Weekly meeting and minutes recorded and approved by all
Consultant fees: Payment for sub consultants is one on time
Predesign Investigation: Owner required to furnish information about site
Accepting assignments: Proper documentation and fee structure as recommended by COA
Premature termination of Architects services: Owner right on full payment of fees upto that stage.

Architectural competitions have a long history of producing successful buildings and discovering new talent. They allow promoters to choose from various high quality designs that address the specific project requirements. Competitions aim to explore hidden talents in younger architects and are often the first step to a successful career. Guidelines ensure competitions are properly conducted and selections are made on merit alone. Assessors play an important role in competitions by assisting with the brief, examining the site, advising on technical aspects, and preparing the final report. Competitions can be open, limited, or special category and involve one or two stages to maintain anonymity while selecting top designs.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. An ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN COMPETITION is a type of competition in which an organization or
government body that plans to construct a new building invites architects to submit a design
proposal.
1.The WINNING DESIGN is usually chosen by an independent panel of design professionals and
stakeholders (such as government and local representatives).
2.Its USED TO generate new ideas for the building design, to stimulate public debate, to generate
publicity for the project, and to allow emerging designers the opportunity to gain exposure.
3.Such competitions are mainly CONDUCTED FOR commissions for public buildings: in some
countries rules for tendering public building contracts stipulate some form of mandatory open
architectural competition.
Preface
3. Purpose
• One of the principals aims of the competition is to explore hidden talents among younger Architects. To many competitors, it often is the
first step to a successful career.
Competition Guidelines as laid down by the Council of Architecture protect and safeguard the interests both of the promoter and the
competitor.
• While ensuring the promoter a design of high standard and adjudged as such by prominent Architects acting as Assessors, it also ensures
that each competitor competes on like conditions and within the same limitations.
• Both the promoter and the competitor are assured by these guidelines that the entries will be judged only by those who are qualified to
interpret the competitors' presentations and to judge if the design selected meets with the promoter's requirements.
• The guidelines therefore lay considerable emphasis on the mandatory requirement of Assessors and the qualifications.
• The appointment of the Assessors should therefore be the immediate and first step the moment the promoter decides to go in for a
competition. The President of the Council of Architecture, if so, requested by the promoter, may suggest a panel of names experienced in
this type of project proposed, for appointment as Assessors. Their responsibilities commence with the approval of the brief of the
competition project. The Assessor may even help to prepare the brief.
• For practical reasons, this responsibility is often taken by the Senior Assessor who would then be available to advise the promoter on all
matters connected with the competition from the promoter's decision to hold the competition till the final award.
4. Briefly the Assessors (or the Senior Assessor) will:
1. Assist in the preparation and approval of the brief.
2. Study and understand the requirements of the Local
Authorities
3. Visit and examine the project site, if necessary.
4. Advise on the appointment of the Technical Advisers, if
necessary.
5. Finalize the competition conditions.
6. Prepare the final report/award.
• The project brief is the most important document.
• The success of the competition will depend upon the clarity and the completeness of the brief. This can be achieved by a very close
cooperation between the Promoters and the Assessors (or the Senior Assessor) in the preparation and finalization of the brief
• Further the participation of the Assessors in the preparation of the brief will enable them to understand fully the intent of the promoter.
Also, as qualified Architects they would be capable of visualizing the development with reference to the promoter's requirements, site
conditions etc. and in interpreting the competition entries in these terms.
• For complicated projects such as Hospitals, Airports etc. which are under constant development or projects encompassing highly
technical elements, a Technical Adviser would be considered necessary in the initial stage to help the Promoter and the Assessors to
draw up the brief and subsequently to advise the Assessors on the technical aspect of the competition entries.
• Once the promoter's requirements, the site conditions, the requirements of the local authorities etc. have been formulated into the
competition brief, the Assessors (or the Senior Assessor) can advise the promoter on the type of competition that should be promoted.
5. SCHEDULE 1 of the Competition Guidelines describes in detail the types of competitions, which could be adopted and
successfully conducted.
The conditions for Architectural competition given in SCHEDULE 3 specifies the procedure to be followed by the promoter
for conducting competitions and these conditions have been drawn up to ensure that each competitor competes on
similar conditions, that the selection is based entirely on merit, that in appreciation of the effort that would be put in by
each competitor suitable and adequate prize monies and honoraria are assured, that anonymity of the competitor is
maintained during the competition and that each competitor enjoys Copyright and Right of Ownership.
Response from well established Architects as well as large number of young Architects to an open competition can best
be assured by wide publicity. This is all the more essential for projects which are of public interest.
Publicity could begin with the invitation of Architects to participate through widely read media. This could be followed by
press conferences and finally by the publication of the Assessor's report and public exhibition of all the entries.
7. The purpose of Guidelines is to indicate the principles upon which competitions will be
conducted and the rules which must be observed by a promoter for conducting competitions.
These guidelines have been drawn up in the interest of both the promoter and the competitor
and to ensure that the architectural competitions are properly conducted and that selection of
the design will be on merit alone and will satisfy the promoter's requirements.
The Code of Professional Conduct of the Council of Architecture does not allow Architects to
give unpaid services in competition with each other and competitive designs shall only be
submitted through competition organized within the framework of these guidelines.
