Large dams have been constructed worldwide to store water, generate hydropower, and support irrigation. Over 45,000 large dams have been built, obstructing nearly half the world's rivers. While dams have existed for millennia, the scale of modern dam construction was only made possible in the 20th century due to advances in science, technology, materials, and construction equipment. Dams are designed structures that hold back water and include gates to control water flow downstream. The main purposes of dams are electric power generation, recreation, water storage, flood control, and irrigation. However, dams also negatively impact the environment by flooding surrounding areas, disrupting ecosystems, and affecting wildlife like migratory fish.

This document discusses six ordering principles used in interior design: axis, symmetry, hierarchy, transformation, datum, and rhythm. It provides definitions and examples for each principle. Axis refers to an imaginary line used to align and arrange design elements. Symmetry involves balanced proportions around a central line. Hierarchy uses size, color, and placement to emphasize important spaces. Transformation alters forms through changes in size, shape, and other manipulations. Datum serves as a reference line or plane to organize patterns. Rhythm creates movement through a patterned repetition or variation of elements.

#ARCHITECT’S CONCEPTS: “A building can only be understood by moving around and through it and by experiencing the modulation and feel the spaces one moves through- from the outside into verandah, than rooms, passages, courtyards”.
“Architecture cannot be totally explained but must be experienced.”
FIBRE REINFORCED PLASTIC (FRP) & SYNTHETIC RUBBERChandana R
Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The fibers, which are usually glass, carbon, basalt or aramid, increase the strength and stiffness of the polymer. FRP has high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility. It is used in applications like pipes, walkways, and construction where these properties are beneficial. However, FRP has low strength perpendicular to the fibers and complex manufacturing requirements.
TALIESIN WEST, SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, UNITED STATESChandana R
TALIESIN WEST, SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, UNITED STATES
ARCHITECT: FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
YEAR: 1937-1959
Since its first prolonged stay in Arizona during 1927, Wright had hoped to return to this region of the Sonoran desert, to escape the severe winter of Wisconsin. Finally, in 1937, with his wife traveled to Phoenix to find an area in which to build his home studio, which even today remains useful as housing, work-site installation and education.
Concept
Taliesin West was built to coexist in harmony with its desert environment, using local materials such as rocks and sand in the design of the structure and substance of the desert that surrounds the entire complex by its structural diversity are combining into a single Complete.
Wright wrote: “Our new desert camp belonged to the Arizona desert as though it had stood there during creation.”

VICTORIA TERMINUS, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, MumbaiChandana R
The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly known as Victoria Terminus, is a historic railway station located in Mumbai, India. It exhibits a fusion of Victorian Gothic Revival and traditional Indian architecture. Completed in 1887, it was designed by British architect Frederick Stevens and serves as an outstanding example of 19th century railway architecture, combining elements of Victorian Italianate style with Indian architectural influences. It has a remarkable stone dome, turrets, pointed arches, and an eccentric ground plan that is similar to traditional Indian palace architecture. The building was a collaboration between British architects and Indian craftsmen, forging a new architectural style unique to Bombay.
Small-scale gold mining in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia releases large amounts of mercury into the environment, contaminating lands, waters, and posing health risks. An estimated 1,000 tons of mercury per year is emitted through amalgamation to extract gold from ore, comprising 30% of the world's anthropogenic mercury emissions. Mercury used in artisanal gold mining becomes methylmercury in waterways, accumulating up the food chain and threatening human health through various exposure pathways. Proposed solutions include adopting mercury-free gold extraction methods using borax instead of mercury, installing water condenser systems to recycle mercury vapors, and preventing drainage of mercury residues into waterbodies.

The document summarizes pre-colonial architecture in Cambodia. It describes three early architectural styles from 610-800 AD before the Angkor period began in 802 AD. It then discusses major temples built during the Angkor period including Angkor Wat and Bayon temple. Angkor Wat, built in the 12th century, combines the temple-mountain and galleried styles and was dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu. Bayon temple was built in the late 12th/early 13th century as the state temple of King Jayavarman VII, originally dedicated to Mahayana Buddhism.
The document discusses scale and proportion in art. It defines scale as the size of an object relative to another, often compared to human scale. Proportion refers to the relative size of parts within a whole. It uses Michelangelo's David as an example of ideal proportions in sculpture and life-size scale. The sculpture towers over viewers at over 13 feet tall on a pedestal, giving it a sense of grandeur. It also discusses uses of scale in miniatures and monumental architecture.
The Golden Ratio in Art and ArchitectureChandana R
The golden ratio is a proportioning system where the ratio between parts and the whole is approximately 1:1.618. It has long been believed to produce aesthetically pleasing shapes that are found in nature, art, and architecture. The ratio has been applied in works like Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and modern graphic designs. It also governs growth patterns seen in animals, plants, and the universe.

The document describes Chaitya halls, which are Buddhist shrines or prayer halls found in ancient Indian rock-cut architecture. It focuses on the Chaitya hall located at the Karli caves in Maharashtra. The Karli Chaitya hall dates back to around the 3rd century BC and has architectural features typical of Chaitya design, including a vaulted ceiling supported by columns, with an apse at the end containing a stupa for devotees to circumambulate. The hall was carved out of solid rock using a process that began from the ceiling down, and contains intricately carved details and sculptural elements representative of ancient Indian wooden architecture.

"Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey Toward Sustainability"
The booklet of my master’s thesis at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. (Gothenburg, Sweden)
This thesis explores the transformation of the vacated (2023) IKEA store in Kållered, Sweden, into a "Reuse Hub" addressing various user types. The project aims to create a model for circular and sustainable economic practices that promote resource efficiency, waste reduction, and a shift in societal overconsumption patterns.
Reuse, though crucial in the circular economy, is one of the least studied areas. Most materials with reuse potential, especially in the construction sector, are recycled (downcycled), causing a greater loss of resources and energy. My project addresses barriers to reuse, such as difficult access to materials, storage, and logistics issues.
Aims:
• Enhancing Access to Reclaimed Materials: Creating a hub for reclaimed construction materials for both institutional and individual needs.
• Promoting Circular Economy: Showcasing the potential and variety of reusable materials and how they can drive a circular economy.
• Fostering Community Engagement: Developing spaces for social interaction around reuse-focused stores and workshops.
• Raising Awareness: Transforming a former consumerist symbol into a center for circular practices.
Highlights:
• The project emphasizes cross-sector collaboration with producers and wholesalers to repurpose surplus materials before they enter the recycling phase.
• This project can serve as a prototype for reusing many idle commercial buildings in different scales and sizes.
• The findings indicate that transforming large vacant properties can support sustainable practices and present an economically attractive business model with high social returns at the same time.
• It highlights the potential of how sustainable practices in the construction sector can drive societal change.
