[CDA] Sustainable Architecture Presentation Leon Barnard
Sustainable architecture is part of our future, by taking the role of educating and showing our responsibilities as architects, planners, designers and land owners - the living buildings of tomorrow will be built today.
Cities today are constantly under pressure to accommodate a growing urban population and their increasing demand for various resources, such as energy, water, waste management, transportation, and food. Some of these resources are basic living requirements, and the most important of those being food. According to the current practices, food demand is mostly met by food grown on farmland away from the cities. This creates a bigger carbon footprint due to transportation, farming energy usage as well as environmental damage through agricultural contaminants, etc. Additionally, traditional farming often encounters climate extremes and disasters making it more difficult for farmers to survive. Hence there is a need to explore alternative techniques which can address issues concerned with traditional farming practices, one of such techniques is vertical farming. It is essentially a combination of variety of technologies, placed in an urban setting to help reduce most of the issues related to urban food demands and be environmentally less damaging at the same time.
The project describes ways we can have sustainable living. It also discussed the ecological footprint. Some ways we can be sustainable that were discussed in the project are rain harvesting, photovoltaic electricity, solar heating, and dual flush toilet.
Due to the growth of new businesses and how communities has enlarged in the past period, new concerns emerged regarding economic necessities, and how it weakened the earth’s abilities to give necessary resources, detoxification and supporting various types of life, including humans, and from this came the ideas of sustainability including sustainable development.

Ground water distillation by basin type solar still for different basin water...IJERA Editor
Adequate quality and reliability of drinking water supply is a fundamental need. Without potable water or
drinking water (less than about 500 ppm of salt) human life is not possible. Only 1% of Earth's water is in a
fresh, liquid state, and nearly all of this is polluted by both diseases and toxic chemicals. For this reason,
purification of water supplies is extremely important.
Keeping these things in mind, we have devised a model which will convert the saline ground water into pure
and potable water using the renewable source of energy (i.e. solar energy). Solar energy is an abundant, never
lasting, and available on site and pollution free energy.Solar Energy is freely available and can be used as a very
cheap option to convert saline ground Water through Solar Distillation, by using Solar Stills. The conventional
single basin and single slop Passive Solar Still can be used to purify water but the main problem is that the per
square meter distillate output is less. So it is need to modify the design of solar still for high output of solar
distillate
Solar still is easy to construct, can be done by local people from locally available materials, simple in
operation by unskilled Personnel, no hard maintenance requirements and almost no operation cost. Simplest
basin type models of solar still in earlier days, researchers have progressed a lot to increase its efficiency.
Suitable modification of solar still can produce high output using minimum areas of land and even in cloudy
days. Experimental study is done at Rewa M.P. on two different basin water depth solar stills. Low water depth
solar water still is produced more distillate than high water depth still by the experiment.

OUTSMARTING CLIMATE CHANGE
Low-tech adaptation strategies are helping people in developing countries cope with the dangers of a warmer world.
Faced with a water
shortage, residents in
Colombia’s Guajira region

FRESHWATER HAS ALWAYS BEEN a precious
commodity on Colombia’s arid Guajira Peninsula,
but climate change is turning scarcity into crisis. Most
of the region’s wells are contaminated by saltwater, forcing
inhabitants to rely on rainfall for potable water. After three years
of extreme drought, the people of the Guajira are still waiting for
the rain to come.
Guajira’s water pinch is just one example of how a warming world
is already hurting developing countries. And the worst is yet to come: As the
global thermostat rises, extreme weather events such as droughts and floods
will become more frequent and intense in many regions, the United Nations warns.
Developing countries stand to suffer the most from climate change — and they
have the fewest resources to prepare for it. So inventors and engineers are devising
simple and often inexpensive measures to help communities adapt to a climate-altered
world. Here are five promising innovations, from the mountains of Colombia to
the coastlines of Indonesia.

People cannot survive
without water, yet more than
10 percent of the world’s
population lacks sufficient
access to it — a figure likely to
grow as climate change alters
weather patterns and worsens
droughts. While most of the
planet is covered by water,
96 percent of it is too salty
to drink.
Removing salt from
seawater is possible, but not
always practical. Conventional
desalination plants that
employ reverse-osmosis
technology, used since the
1960s, are pricey: The new
Carlsbad desalination plant
in California, which outputs
50 million gallons a day, cost
$1 billion to build.
The high price tag makes
traditional desalination
plants unfeasible for many
communities. But now they
have a simpler, cheaper
alternative: the aero-
desalinator, which harnesses
the wind to wring freshwater
from the brine.
HOW IT WORKS:
The aero-desalinator, invented
by engineer Juan Carlos Borrero,
hooks up a windmill to a standard
well. Wind power provides the
pressure necessary to suck the
well’s saltwater through a.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
