This document discusses methods for low-cost housing construction in India. It begins by outlining the need for affordable housing options given that housing is unaffordable for many low-income individuals. It then discusses several strategies for reducing construction costs, including using locally available materials, modular planning based on standard dimensions, rectangular house shapes for efficiency, reducing room sizes where possible, and considering basic requirements like strength, comfort, and fire safety. Specific low-cost materials discussed include concrete hollow blocks, bamboo-based technologies, and asbestos cement sheeting. Economic measures to control costs and advantages/disadvantages of prefabricated housing elements are also summarized.

Cabela's chose to build their new 125,000 square foot store in Post Falls, Idaho with concrete masonry units (CMU) in order to open on schedule for the holiday season. Using CMU allowed wall construction to begin 4-6 weeks earlier than precast concrete or tilt-up walls. The CMU walls were completed in 6 weeks, a month faster than tilt-up would have allowed. Cabela's was pleased with the quality of the CMU work and decided to also use masonry for new stores in Billings, Montana and Rapid City, South Dakota.
Shipping container homes offer an affordable housing solution. Used shipping containers are modified by cutting openings, adding windows and doors, and connecting containers together to form multi-story structures. Containers are placed on foundations like concrete footings or slabs and equipped with utilities like electricity, plumbing, and solar panels. Case studies show container homes can be constructed quickly for low costs and provide durable housing in various applications. However, issues with heat control and potential chemical contamination from prior cargo need to be addressed.

The document discusses upgrading the energy efficiency of an 1880 three-story brick terraced townhouse in the UK from an EPC rating of G to B. It provides details on the current design of the building and recommends replacing single-layer windows with double-layer windows, installing wall insulation, upgrading to LED lights, and improving other areas. It explains the benefits of these retrofits and provides specifications and calculations to show how the upgrades would improve the home's energy performance certificate rating from G to B.
The document discusses upgrading the energy efficiency of an 1880 three-story brick terraced home from an EPC rating of G to B. Key steps include:
1. Replacing single-layer glass windows with double-layer glass windows to improve insulation.
2. Installing cavity wall insulation or external wall insulation to reduce heat loss through the walls.
3. Upgrading lighting to more efficient LED bulbs.
4. Installing attic insulation and replacing an aging boiler to further improve energy efficiency.
Calculations are provided on how these retrofits would improve the home's SAP score and raise its EPC rating to a B.

Project Description
This was a domestic planning application that I undertook in the summer
and autumn of 2017.
The building is a semi-detached three bedroom residential house
located in Surrey South Croydon. The house itself was originally built
in the 1920’s and is primarily of a brick cavity construction. The house
currently exists as the drawings to the right show.
The client who owns the property requested several design options to
be drawn to show a double story extension and loft conversion to be
integrated and put forward for a planning proposal. The preferred design
option can be seen on the next page.

REQUIREMENT FOR BUILD OVER AGREEMENT
The client must contact their water company to check if a build
over agreement with them is required. If it is deemed that a build
over agreement is needed then they must apply for this via their
water companies procedure and ensure the agreement is in place
prior to commencement of any ground works.

Project Description Continued
Due to the demands of a growing family, the client requested to have the
existing layout of the house largely extended and adapted which has a
large impact on the uses of the spaces and the structure.
The existing separate garage is to be demolished and adapted into a
new integrated garage space. The rear wall of the ground floor is to be
demolished to form a large open kitchen area and family dining room
and the circulation areas of the house are improved to support a family
of 5.
The current status of this project is on hold until a further appointment
is made with the planning authority to continue the planning application
process.
6. LMU Calcutta House, Aldgate East Main Block Renovation
Professional Experience - Part 1 Placement
Project Description
This was a project that I assisted on during my Part 1 year out working
at Architecture PLB.
The project was a major interior adaptation and renovation to the
existing building and I worked on RIBA stages 1 ‘Preparation and Brief’
and ‘Concept Design’.
London Metropolitan University were relocating their architecture and
design department from their Commercial Road Campus to their
Calcutta House Main Block campus so we worked on the feasibility
studies in relocating the entire department to their desired new location.
I assisted in producing the proposed floor plans and the proposed
conceptual images for the project.

13. Project Description
For our final design project we were given the brief to design a mixed use
residential building which incorporated normal domestic rooms but also
included shared, communal spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, living areas,
and spaces for working individually and collectively. The design also had to
include retail units, a nursing home, a nursery, plus associated outdoor spaces.
The make up of the people occupying the buildings was 50%
partially sighted people, 50% fully sighted, 25% elderly and 25%
under the age of 10. For this reason, sound and texture was as
important as sight in determining the character of the spaces.
The design project evolved through the development of physical components
throughout the first semester. The elements of sound and texture in particular
have been taken into account as the building’s main design purpose is to aid
people that are partially sighted. The qualities of paper and the behaviour
of paper as a material heavily influenced the nature of the building’s design.
Site - Meiji Dori, Shibuya-Ku
The site is located in Tokyo’s central district ward of Shibuya-Ku within an
area called Meiji Dori. This area of Tokyo is extremely dense, comprising
thriving commercial retail outlets, businesses, and residential apartments.
The ward of Shibuya-Ku, along with the rest of Tokyo, is in a state of
flux, particularly when it comes to the demolition and replacement
of buildings. All of Tokyo’s invested money goes into the land
value instead of the quality of construction in buildings. This is the
main reason we see the skyline of Tokyo rapidly change in form.
Within Shibuya-Ku, businesses and residents are renting areas within
privately owned properties (usually owned by real estate companies).
This is exactly how the Cocoti department store is occupied. The ward of
Shibuya-Ku is governed by Shibuya City Planning Office, which oversees
any proposed developments that will impact the area. They also ensure
the wellbeing of residents who live within the ward and set out a range
of pledges and polices to keep a positive order to the Shibuya-Ku ward.

Paper folding
Repetitively folding strips of paper eventually forms into
a roll, which has significant strength properties.
The process of repetitively folding the paper comes
from the monotonous process of drawing the lines on
the lined paper with black magic marker pen.
Although both compositions are different in physicality,
the method of making these are very similar.

Partition Types
For the bridge link envelope, there are two main
partition types. Type 1 is an internal construction
and type 2 is an external construction. The use
of paper with these partition constructions follow
similar construction methods that are already
used in Japan.
