Kohinoor Square is a 52-story mixed-use skyscraper located in Mumbai. It has a total floor area of 2750000 sq ft and includes a shopping mall, commercial offices, a 5-star hotel, and 132 luxury residences. Key features include a RCC and steel structure with an all-glass facade, 40 main lifts and 8 residential lifts, 3500 parking spaces, and sustainability features like a high-efficiency ventilation system and rainwater collection. The project was completed in 2022 at a cost of ₹21 billion.
As the flagship project for the next downtown Boston neighborhood slated for growth, Atlantic Wharf will be the city of Boston’s first LEED Gold mixed-use development. CBT Architects presents a case study on this new one million square foot project that includes approximately 65 residential units, ground-level retail and public spaces, six stories of below-grade parking, and 31 floors of office space that will bring urban activity directly to the Fort Point Channel water’s edge.
The new sustainable development is at the base of a series of restored and renovated historic structures that preserve the texture and streetscape of this site, integrated with a modern highrise glass tower. By preserving the south and east façades of the historic warehouses, using a very energy-efficient curtainwall, and employing green roof technologies, Atlantic Wharf will be the a centerpiece of Boston's green development.

Project bowstring : A perspective on revitalizing Janata BazaarNishanth Patil
PROBLEM STATEMENT :
Janata Bazar located in the heart of Hubli city is a prime hub for small time vendors and traders. It is spread over 1.76 acres of prime commercial land, housing makeshift shops and a couple of buildings in dilapidated condition. The market is plagued by problems such as congestion, poor pedestrian circulation, poor fire safety, and lack of civic amenities. All of these problems have contributed towards the slum like conditions prevailing here today.
To solve a problem of this nature it is imperative to seek a consensus between the needs of the stakeholders, viz. the resident vendors and traders, Municipal Corporation and other Direct and Indirect Beneficiaries before any sort of plan is brought forward.
SCOPE :
i. To address all the above grievances and put forth an economically viable solution involving conjoint efforts from government and private enterprise.
ii. To untap the economic potential of the area.
iii. To proffer an urban renewal model on strong fundamentals to ensure sustenance and ergo give healthy returns to all key stakeholders.
iv. To study consumer behaviour and ensure generation of projected earnings.
CONCLUSION :
Segregation of land along a tripartite manner i.e. Resident occupation of land, land for the proposed mall and land for community parking is mainstreamed.
The core proposal involves multi-modal infrastructure consisting of a stadia arrangement to house the resident vendors, a separate commercial hub for the resident traders and a shopping mall consisting of a G+4 structure with 2 levels of sub-surface dedicated parking arrangement.
The stadia arrangement for the resident vendors is designed to rehabilitate, rejuvenate and renew the scenario. Surprisingly enough, the capacity has been increased by 15% in the dedicated vendor space. Realistic loading patterns conforming to projected footfalls and deflections have been incorporated.
With this proposal we like to present a model of urban re-development which is both replicable and executable in other areas facing such scenarios, thus creating ‘economically productive, efficient, equitable and responsive cities’.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

Fastest Vertical Elevation.
The Commercial Tower in Kohinoor
Square has 47 elevators with separate
elevator banks for different floor levels,
ensuring minimal wait time. This system
is called the Compass Navigation
System, which divides traffic between
the various elevators, ensuring a wait
time of no more than 29 seconds.
19. Facade Details:
● The façade consists of faceted unitized
aluminum curtain walls with provisions for high
performance double glass façades on the
tower. The towers are linked by a podium with
a façade of custom point-supported glazing on
specialty steel trusses.
● Diamond edges of the building having
aluminum flashing with LED lighting are the
unique feature
● The Unitized Panel with 15 mm vertical
movement would accommodate floor
movement, slab edge deflection, building creep
and thermal expansion at every floor unit. No
scaffolding required for unitized panel
installation. This is done by floor crane / panel
hoisting. Hence the installation is very fast at
site.
● The type of glass used were Spandrel glass as
DGU of 30mm (6mm HS + 18mm Air gap +
6mm HS) and Vision glass VLT –-36 per cent,
SHGC between 0.23, U value of 1.5 W/m2.k
(BTU 0.26). As per architectural intent, Grey
appearance of glass was used. The glass was
selected on the basis of higher external
Reflection value & Lower internal reflection
value.
