ECO SCHOOL DESIGN
Studies show that sustainable learning environments can be a big advantage for students, improving their well-being, happiness and even their cognitive processes. But how can parents ensure that their children’s classrooms are as green as they can be.
Themes do emerge: good daylight and indoor air quality predominate; a link between indoors and out is strongly asserted; and the use of benign materials is paramount. But this is no more than what good school design has always aimed for.
Sustainable School Architecture is a guide to the planning, architecture, and design of schools that are healthy, stimulating, and will conserve energy and resources.

Passive solar design is an important feature in the design of this building.The planning and orientation of spaces and building blocks ensures glare free daylight in all regularly occupied spaces. All the linear blocks are oriented in the East-West direction with shorter facades facing the sun.
Most of the south west facing walls are kept blank in order to protect the building from the harsh south west solar radiations. Where the south west walls have openings, they are protected by means of pergolas or projecting balconies. The east, west and south facades of the building have minimum glazing.

From sketch to reality“Design is an Expression of Feeling........Any Creative Act is Design”. (Emerson-1953).
A Creative act or Creativity is process when an original or a new theory, a postulate or a hypothesis, results in the permutation or combination of both are brought together to offer generative alternatives. This is the initiation of a Design process in a fresh and sensitive mind
Design process is a thinking process and the process adopted must generate creative thinking. Creative thinking involves visualization which is the skill and ability to convert vision into visuals. The element of creativity can be nurtured if creative stimulus is introduced and the technique of problem solving is explained.
A Presentation by Ar Pramod Chaugule on -Affordable Housing
Due to increasing rates of land and building materials
It becomes necessary to adopt the use of
alternative building materials and
construction technologies to reduce the cost
of the building and to save scarce resources.
This may be done by up gradation of
local technologies , using local resources or
by application of modern materials and techniques.
ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS PRECAST MEMBERS , LIGHT WEIGHT CONCRETE SUCH AS SIPOREX, RMC REDUCE
CONSTRUCTION TIME AND THUS THE COST by 10 to 12 %
Nasik city with its rich cultural and historical background has experienced numerous transformations through the several dynasties that reined the city.
Each one of these dynasties and rulers has left an unmistakable imprint on the art, architecture and culture of the place. The transition of the place from a kingdom of Satwahanas to an Industrial town is fascinating
Its rich Architectural heritage includes the preserved caves from Satvahana and various other dynasties; the Hemadpanthi style temples, the famous Wadas from Maratha and Peshwa rulers and last but not least, the magnificent forts protecting the boundaries of the city from enemies.
Even the succeeding periods of British rule and Post Independence era has observed remarkable structures coming up.
This History along with geographical location and geology of the place demonstrates a profound influence on the growth of the townscape.
With Sahyadris in vicinity many forts have been erected during the different empires with their distinctive modes of construction.
River Godavari plays a major role in its development as a religious center; the town has observed the emergence of some beautiful temples with Ghats along its banks.
The rich Architectural style of the structures has been changing as per the eras pertaining to their social, religious and cultural beliefs.
Various rituals and religious philosophies have been evolved due to the development of the society towards the religion, which reveal a grave influence on designs of the structures.
The Post Independence era has perceived a gradual transformation of this dreamlike town into a hybrid-cultured entity.
This paper overviews the time duration of the changed vocabulary of Aesthetics while recording the transformation of an inherently beautiful space into a comparatively characterless townscape.
Community Participation should be indispensible element in human settlements,especially in planning strategies and in formulation, implementation and management. It should influence all levels of Government in the decision making process to further the political, social and economic growth of Human settlements. This relates especially to low income and Cost Effective Housing projects denoting squatter settlement upgrading with site and service schemes.
In squatter settlement upgrading projects, the authorities regularize the illegal land tenure of squatters and provide basic infrastructure in the settlements. These interventions are expected to be sufficient incentives for the residents to start improving their houses. In sites-and-services schemes, the authorities provide serviced plots to the urban poor and expect them to produce their own houses, through individual or mutual self-help or the employment of small contractors. Participation assumes an activity in which the community takes part and the involvement of at least one other party, usually a government agency or a nongovernmental organization (NGO). Community participation is sometimes used to indicate community self reliance or self-help, i.e. an activity which is usually undertaken by a government agency, is undertaken by the community on its own (e.g. spontaneous housing).
The United Nations defined community development as "the processes by which the efforts of the people themselves are united with those of governmental authorities to improve the economic, social and cultural conditions of communities, to integrate these communities into the life of the nation and to enable them to contribute fully to national progress."
A beautifully landscaped resort at Sentosa near the sea shore with all balconies facing towards the sea,a beautifully landscaped swimming pool and tropical gardens.
The green areas facilitate in encouraging human interaction while promoting community involvement and ownership. Local Green Spaces contribute to local identity, character of the area and sense of the place. They make an important contribution to the physical form and layout of the settlement. They may link up with other open spaces and allow views through or beyond the settlement, which are valued locally. The green areas must be aesthetically pleasing, tranquil and possess recreational value for the local communityUse of native, drought-tolerant plantings will create habitat for birds and insects, reduce water use, and aid adaptation to changing climate conditions. Planting of shady trees will reduce the urban heat island effect, creating more livable outdoor spaces. Edible landscaping is a responsible and worthwhile use of landscape space, even in the front yard. Water retention and filtering will help protect water quality.
The soft landscaping in forms of trees, lawns, hedges, flower gardens can be around public areas such as monuments, industrial areas, commercial areas, along the drains and roads.
Innovating Humane Habitats in a Digital Era for a Sustainable Future.Digital Technology in Architectural Education and Profession .The significance of virtual Architecture is its emergence with the ability of computer-imaging technology to accurately simulate three-dimensional reality. The technique of simulating three-dimensional reality is known as virtual reality.
Parametric design:
Enables the exploration of alternative designs within a single representation using parameters and associative relationships to control geometric and constructive aspects of the design.
New developments in computational design as well as in digital fabrication are currently leading to a rethinking of architectural design, material science, engineering and fabrication.
"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

The term “Vernacular architecture” in general refers to the informal building of structures through traditional building methods without using the services of a professional architect. It is the most widespread form of building .
Vernacular architecture has been growing over time with continuities changes, transformations and adaptations to the different social and economic conditions of each period.
STONE -As A Building Material.
Stones have been considered as one of the popular building material from the olden days due to their availability in abundance from the natural rocks. Building stones should possess enough strength and durability.
The stones which are suitable for the construction of the structures such as retaining walls, abutments, dams, barrages, roads etc are known as building stones.
I came to know regarding this competition from rediff.com
Salient features of a well-designed inclusive Neighbourhood (Colony) for the urban poor is characterized by a well conceptualized effort at social cohesion:
I. Housing Unit and Layouts of Cluster Housing
II. Neighbourhood Colony Layouts
III. Basic Physical Infrastructure (Water Supply, Sanitation, Drainage, Roads, Street Lighting, Solid
Waste Management, etc.)
IV. Cohesive Social Infrastructure (Community Centre, Informal Sector Market, Livelihood Centre,
etc.)
In general, ecotourism is an insightful, mindful and participatory travel experience to natural and cultural and social environments, assisting the well-being of the local cultures and environments for future generations.
To simplify the term, Ecotourism can be defined in terms of
-environment and
-culture
-orientated travel.
The overall layout of the ecolodge and associated development must reflect the dual purpose of creating an ambient and attractive environment for the visitor as well as protecting the natural features of the site.
To achieve this standard the proponent must demonstrate that some of the following conditions have been created:
Visitor experience and ambience.
Views within the site and to the surrounding landscape have been maximized Adequate shade is provided by the use of vegetation and facility orientation Local winds are funneled for natural ventilation
Individual accommodation units have adequate privacy
Movement around the site and connecting of the various facilities is efficient Environmental Protection.
All special features on the site are protected.
Only essential facilities are constructed adjacent to the beach and other focal points on the site.
The overall footprint of the constructed buildings are kept to a minimum

The Library Garden as Sustainable Sensory Spaceldore1
TU Dublin Library Services has a holistic approach to our students’ needs. With that in mind we have begun to develop the library garden on our Tallaght campus for the use of both students and staff. This poster will show our progress so far and include what we want to achieve in the future. Sustainability is part of the University’s strategic intent and is to the fore in this project. With some success growing fruit and veg we hope to expand this going forward. In essence, we want to create a calming sensory space to be in, which will also be productive.
Paper Presented during International Conference on What’s next in libraries? Trends, Space, and partnerships held during January 21-23, 2015 at NIT Silchar, Assam. It is being jointly organized by NIT Silchar, in association with its USA partner the Mortenson Center for International Library Programs, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Paris developed through concentric circles-Across the Seine river – closed by octroi and protective walls .
Baker studied architecture in Birmingham and graduated in 1937, aged 20, in a period of political unrest for Europe.During the Second World War, he served in the Friends Ambulance Unit in China and Burma.He worked as an architect for an international and interdenominational Mission dedicated to the care of those suffering from leprosy. He focused on converting or replacing asylums once used to house the ostracized sufferers of the disease - "lepers".He Used indigenous architecture and methods of these places as means to deal with his once daunting problems.
Baker's designs invariably have traditional Indian sloping roofs and terracotta Mangalore tile shingling with gables and vents allowing rising hot air to escape curved walls to enclose more volume at lower material cost than straight walls.Designing and building low cost, high quality, beautiful homes
Suited to or built for lower-middle to lower class clients.
Irregular, pyramid-like structures on roofs, with one side left open and tilting into the wind.Brick jali walls, a perforated brick screen which utilises natural air movement to cool the home's interior and create intricate patterns of light and shadow.
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”

Recently, workplace performance has received much attention, as more people have recognized that it directly affects work productivity and effectiveness. Workplace performance is a measure of the effectiveness of a workplace in meeting the occupant’s needs. The space is designed as per the work groups, activities and the type of projects. The designed workspace should be economically viable, intelligently planned and follow the sustainable principles
The Government is proposing modification of state enactments and city level master plans for upward revision of FAR/FSI to accommodate land allocation for LIGs.
Tremendous economics is involved in the process of the mass housing schemes. An overview is needed to be taken to reduce the construction costs and make these constructions affordable which can be done on several levels .The review areas include economising construction materials costs, proper usage of technologies-conventional and alternate and project management. Several Developers are adapting these methods to reduce the construction costs of their projects.. It is estimated that overall employment generation in the economy on account of additional investment in the Construction/Housing Sectors is eight times the direct employment (IIM Ahmedabad : 2005). In view of the substantial use of cement, steel, marble/ceramic tiles, electrical wiring, PVC pipes and various types of fittings; construction activity has a multiplier effect on industrial demand for these items.
The main objective of this paper by Er.Deepak Bansal ad Ar.Poonja Nandy is to study the embodied energy values of walling materials used for cost effective houses up to 50 sq.m. The most important criteria for judging the energy efficiency of this housing typology has to fixed- whether Embodied energy or Maintenance/ Operational Energy.
This presentation is an overview of Governments role in propagating the different types of Cost Effective technologies on several Government and local levels through various organisations.
The Design of a Campus for Police Training at Tasgaon,Maharashtra,India takes an holistic approach of Environmental and Cost Effective Design.
Designer in the said project has successfully met with occupants need for thermal and visual comfort at low level of energy and resource consumption.
The comfort conditions are optimised and energy savings are also done with the effective use of nature. The campus is environmentally responsible, profitable & healthy to live & work.

8. • The school itself shows the way by being environmentally conscious and
including sustainable green practices in its everyday life.
• The school is situated in a beautiful fruit orchard and designed in harmony with
its surroundings producing an atmosphere that inspires learning and
insightfulness.
• students are ambassadors to introduce green living into the lives of their
communities
• The whole school is built from earth and bamboo that has been treated to both
withstand and complement the elements.
• Organic vegetables and rice are grown on the school property. Waste water is
treated and biogas produced.
• This is an environmentally-friendly school with an insignificant carbon footprint.
50. • American Cynthia and her partner, Canadian designer John Hardy, have lived on
Bali for over thirty years. In 2007, after selling their renowned jewelry company,
they formed a school as an alternative to the walled-in international schools
around Bali.
• In 2007, they built the first campus structure, the Kul-Kul Bridge that spans 22
meters across the Ayung River. The organic convex and concave curves are
partially ornamental, however they follow the natural tendencies of bamboo to
bend and twist.
• The simplicity of construction enables even the layman to understand how the
pieces join together. Thus, a stroll around campus is an interactive lesson in
building.
• Visiting the Green School is to enter an entire aesthetic universe, where the
architecture is as important as the most minuscule of details.
• Bamboo signage leads the way around to each class area that consists of a
bamboo pavilion with Alang Alang grass roof, bamboo desks and chairs and
compost toilets. Students learn music upon bamboo harps and play sports within
bamboo fences.

• While learning without walls would seem to cause disciplinary problems, Cynthia
classifies the school as "ADDfriendly".
• Dyslexic children who arrive at Green School are, within a week, focused and
comfortable within "the chaos of nature".
• In many ways, the growth of the Green School resonates more along a vernacular
tradition than the formal architectural canon.
53. The Green School is built upon steep terrains, so the architecture is a part of, not apart from the
context

• The most elaborate structure is the impressive "Heart of the School", with three
interweaving cones that resemble double helixes.
• Three spiral staircases link the floors that house the administration, computer lab,
arts spaces and the library.
• Built from Petung, the most massive bamboo variety, the complex is 60 meters
long and soars 19 meters into the sky. Every prominent visitor, such as Nobel
Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, passes under the alangalang vaults.
