The document discusses options for landscaping lawns, including traditional sod lawns, locally native grasses and sedges that can be used as lawn alternatives. It provides details on various native grass and sedge species that can work as drought-tolerant, low-maintenance lawn substitutes. The document emphasizes choosing plants based on personal preferences and site conditions rather than following conventional solutions, and weighing the pros and cons of different native options.
This class provides a solid introduction of the science & technology of the home, covering bio-climactic principles as well as choice of materials, location & design context. But we also question the great emphasis which is put on more & larger construction by the alternative movement these days. BioConstruction or EcoBuilding are terms which technically mean 'construction which promotes life' or 'ecological building', not something which is centered - yet again - on consumerist values: putting human whims & comfort above all else. How or when are these 'bio' & 'construction' terms used in contradictory ways? Do we need to coin a new 'perma-construction' term?

This is a guide booklet for anyone who has questions about some of the terms that are being thrown around in today\'s design and construction world. Damian Farrell Design Group is responsible for production of this document. I designed the composition of this booklet. Please Enjoy!
National Games Village - Tungabhadra from Waste to Resource (220 Apartments)ADDA
This Slideshare is about National Games Village - Tungabhadra, a 220 unit Apartment Complex in Koramangla, Bangalore which gained an advantage in implementing Solid Waste Management.
The Apartment Complex used separate bins for recyclable and non-recyclable waste that was brought from each household of the Apartment Complex. In six months, Tungabhadra had generated an income of close to Rs.1 Lakh sustaining through the Zero Waste management.Out of this revenue generated Rs 93,000 was from recyclables.

In this class we explore social capital as the umbrella term we use to value a complex set of inner quadrant qualities such as creativity, innovation, social skills, connectivity, emotional intelligence, knowledge, wisdom, cultural awareness, etc., all of which have a critical part to play in re-designing any technology & therefore society as a whole. "Sustainable Development" has been criticized as a term for being inherently contradictory, but when all quadrants are taken into account, we can see that a major growth in the interior quadrants (personal development & culture) will probably be key in achieving any significant reduction in physical consumption or material growth, so 'sustainable development' is far from contradictory as a term. So how do we design for increasing and improving social capital?
