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”

STEEL IN ARCHITECTURE-CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTUREMohd Azmatullah
Steel is crucial in development of economy and is considered as backbone of human civilization.
* Important milestones in Architecture was development of iron and steel in construction.
*New Method based in industrialization
DRYCONSTRUCTION, RATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY, RECIYCLING
*Steel buildings and bridges were being built in the latter part of the 19th century and early 20th century during the British era,
*New trend:-
Structural steel selectively used in the construction of high-rise buildings with 2-4/ projects/ year in India, mainly in metropolitan cities those are constrained by limited land availability.
*The evolution of steel frame construction in the 20th century entirely changed the concept of the Wall and the support.
*Steel is typical because of high tensile and compressive strengths
*steel buildings save time and money as compared to conventional building systems.
*Strong internal demand and emphasis on developing infrastructure can be expected to remain the foundation of Economic growth.
Industry and infrastructure segments can be expected, the key demand drivers for steel structures in India over the next 5 years.
*Overall, there is good potential for steel structures in India owing to robust economic growth, increased government spending on infrastructure and change in mindset with regards to use of structural steel in building.

Architect Raj Rewal Projects : Solving Modern Issues with Ancient Heritage.pdfAbir Pothi
Raj Rewal is a renowned architect known for blending traditional principles with modern design. Educated in Delhi and London, he taught at the School of Planning and Architecture Delhi. Notable works include the Hall of Nations and CIDCO Housing. He founded Raj Rewal Associates in 1962. Read full article to know more.
Late Modernism encompasses the overall production of most recent architecture made between the aftermath of World War II and the early years of the 21st century. The terminology often points to similarities between late modernism and post-modernism although there are differences.
Late Modernism, also known as High-tech architecture or Structural Expressionism, is an architectural style that emerged in the late 80s, this style became a bridge between modernism and postmodernism.
Architecture in which the images, ideas, and motifs of the Modern Movement were taken to extremes, structure, technology, and services being grossly over stated at a time when Modernism was being questioned.
In the year 1980s the high tech architecture started to look different from the post modern architecture. Many of the themes and ideas which originated during the post modern times were added to the high tech architecture.
Modern architecture is primarily driven by technological and engineering developments, and it is true that the availability o f new building materials such as iron, steel, and glass drove the invention of new building techniques as part of the Industrial Revolution.
le Corbusier was a Swiss-French architect, designer, painter, urban planner, writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now regarded as modern architecture. He was born in Switzerland and became a French citizen in 1930. His career spanned five decades, and he designed buildings in Europe, Japan, India, and North and South America.

2137ad Merindol Colony Interiors where refugee try to build a seemengly norm...luforfor
This are the interiors of the Merindol Colony in 2137ad after the Climate Change Collapse and the Apocalipse Wars. Merindol is a small Colony in the Italian Alps where there are around 4000 humans. The Colony values mainly around meritocracy and selection by effort.
Hadj Ounis's most notable work is his sculpture titled "Metamorphosis." This piece showcases Ounis's mastery of form and texture, as he seamlessly combines metal and wood to create a dynamic and visually striking composition. The juxtaposition of the two materials creates a sense of tension and harmony, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between nature and industry.

Kurgan is a russian expatriate that is secretly in love with Sonia Contado. Henry is a british soldier that took refuge in Merindol Colony in 2137ad. He is the lover of Sonia Contado.
2. An approach to architecture in the 80’s that countered PLACELESSNESS and LACK OF MEANING
CRITICAL REGIONALISM
Raj Rewal emphasized on topography, light
and climate rather than scenography
Critical regionalism seeks architectural traditions deeply rooted in local conditions
that results in intelligent and appropriate architecture
3. • Raj Rewal has some things in common with his
contemporaries such as BV Doshi, Achyut Kanvinde- broken
up forms, open courtyards, sociable living and working
environments.
• He has dealt largely with areas of similar climate such as
Delhi and Jaipur, which are hot and dry .
• The main problem of critical regionalism is to
seek answers to the question of Paul Ricour:
"How to be modern and to continue the
tradition, how to revive an old dormant
civilization as part of universal civilization."
4. • The state trading corporation tower , in the heart of new delhi built in 1976, uses
a structural concept as the basis of architectural form.
• Rewal has tuned the external wall of alternate floor into special beams with holes
in its sides, called a vierendeel girder. Windows are placed in the little holes that
the beam allows.

5. LIVABLE SPACES
• Along with being structurally innovative, Rewals housing and institutional
complexes have a greater impact on India's modernism.
• He stacked apartments so that the upper floor footprint was a shifted by a module
with respect to the lower floor, giving the upper floor their own terraces.
• Also creating gateways over pedestrian spaces for gatherings. This model has been
replicated by DDA in Vasant Kunj 1980- onwards.
• Using the principle of traditional architecture in Rajasthan, such as projecting
upper floors, jali walls, sandstone and RCC for cladding.

6. ASIAN GAMES VILLAGE,
NEW DELHI - 1982
• To house athletes for the Games.
• 500 housing units were designed as
a group housing in 35 acres.
• In the Asiad Housing, the urban
pattern of Jaipur and Jaisalmer has
been explored.
• A network of streets and squares
with vehicular access at either end of
the site, its morphology resembles a
traditional village.
Figure 1: View of Asian Games Village
http://www.greatbuildings.com/architects/Raj_Rewal.html
7. • There is a sequence of open spaces,
interlinked with narrow pedestrian streets.
• The streets become spaces for encounter
between people and the squares offer a
sense of neighbourhood.
• The cubic solids and voids are
characteristic of the Indian urban
fabric.
Dining complex which is now used as a
recreational and community centre.
Figure 2: Layout Plan of Asian Games Village
http://www.greatbuildings.com/architects/Raj_Rewal.html
Figure 3: View of Asian Games Village
http://www.greatbuildings.com/buildings/Asian_Games_Village.html
9. • The streets are consciously broken up
into visually comprehensible units, often
with gateways, so there are pauses, point
of rest and changing vistas.
• The central spine of the layout is
reserved for pedestrian courts and
streets of various clusters.
Entrance gateways
with linked upper
terraces punctuate
the sequence of
courtyard and
garden spaces.Figure 3: Axonometric view

10. •Low-rise high-density
scheme for 550 units
• Designed on the basis of
self-financing scheme for
Delhi Development
Authority.
• The site design is based
on the system of streets
and chowks of
traditional housing areas
in Rajasthan.
• Vehicular movement
and parking is on the
periphery.
SHEIKH SARAI HOUSING - 1982

11. • Provides for interlinked square of varying scales for community activities.
• The pedestrian and vehicular movement are segregated.
• All the units have been provided with courtyards or roof top terraces involving an
aesthetic and volumetric play of spaces.
•The structure is of reinforced concrete with brick in fill walls. The finish is of rough cast
plaster giving it a uniform but appealing texture.

12. HALL OF NATIONS,
PRAGATI MAIDAN - 1972
• Built for exhibition purpose, the
main pavilion has a clear span of 78
m, and a height varying from 3m to
21 m.
• Hence providing space for a variety
of exhibits ranging from books to
bulldozers.
• Built of reinforced concrete, it’s the
first construction of its kind in India.
• Each of the halls was conceived as a
full pyramid, and the truncated from
supported on 8 points, was adopted
to avoid unnecessary construction.
• Hall of industries is a group of
smaller pavilions enclosing a central
area by ramps for open air
exhibits, toilets and other services
under the ramps.
Figure 1: top view of hall of nations and hall of industries
http://www.greatbuildings.com/architects/Raj_Rewal.html
13. • The plan of these pavilions is a square with
chamfered corners, providing eight
anchoring points.
• A special 9 membered joint was evolved for
pre cast construction.
• The hall of nations is supported on pile
foundations tied together with post
tensioned plinth beams, and the hall of
industries rests on spread footings tied
together with high tensile steel bars.

14. Rewal decided to sink part of the library
underground, leaving two of the four floors above
ground. The terrace of the library aligns with thefirst
floor level of the Parliament building.
The plan of the building is inspired by
precolonial Indian architecture such as
the magnificent Taj Mahal, with its
square base and symmetrical
composition.
PARLIAMENT LIBRARY, NEW DELHI
The aim was to create an urban pattern of low rise high density based on a sequence of open spaces linked by shaded pedestrian pathways. The peripheral roads are connected to the cul-de-sac parking squares which in turn give way to individual garages or car porches attached to the houses or apartment blocks.
