Hill araes- Planning anddesigning Buildings.docxJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Hill areas remain different, distinct and unique in its physiography, morphology, structure, topography and fabric, when compared with the plain areas of the country. Because of prevailing difference and distinction in land morphology, flora, fauna, environment and climate, planning and designing buildings in hill areas remain complex and cumbersome requiring much more understanding of the context on the part of architects, planners and engineers as compared to designing/constructing buildings in the plain areas. Unfortunately, despite having distinction in nature of land etc; and hills occupying more than 10 % physical area in the country, India still does not have a dedicated course in the planning, designing and construction of buildings in the hilly region of the country.
This has led to majority of buildings being designed and constructed without caring for the peculiarities of the hilly regions/hill areas. Because of the fragility and unscientific planning, designing and construction of buildings, hilly regions are facing massive disasters in the shape of frequent landslide and massive flooding, leading to collapse of buildings causing enormous loss to life and property in the hilly regions.
Looking at the gravity of the vulnerability prevailing in the hill areas, it was thought and considered prudent to outline few of the principles which should be kept in view while selecting site for the projects in the hill areas; approach to be adopted for site planning and principles which should be kept in view to create buildings which remain responsive to climate and context of the region besides ensuring that buildings don’t adversely impact the environment and ecology of the area. Approach defined does not claim to be conclusive and final . Text provides adequate space for embedding more ideas and thoughts in the text for making it more qualitative and self-contained. It is hoped the text will create awareness about the need ,importance , role and relevance of planning and designing buildings in the hilly regions with care and caution after understanding the context, physiography and specific character and culture of the region in which buildings are to be planned , designed and constructed to make them safe , qualitative and supportive of the fragile environment and ecology prevailing in the hills of India.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

8. 8
TEACH A COURSE
Environmental study for architectural design involves
collection of data, reconnaissance survey, creative ability and
imagination, and the design of solutions to solve building
problems.
When an architect is given a design assignment, there are
many environmental factors that are to be considered. The site
is the major factor that has to be considered. Site means the
area or the land that is meant for the construction of the
proposed project. Site Planning is the art and science of
arranging the various portions of a particular piece of land
according to their uses. The site planner decides on the uses of
the site in detail by selecting and analyzing it for the various
characteristics of soil, slope, vegetation, etc.
The landscape involves the design of outside space. This
should be thought about carefully to make an architectural
design complete. The climate at the location at the site is very
important as it affects the building that is to be constructed.
Services such as water supply, drainage, sanitation, electricity,
fire protection, air-conditioning system, etc. also have to be

Hydrography-streams, lakes, swamps
Soil – classification of types and uses
Vegetation

Climate factors – solar orientation, summer,
winter winds, humidity, precipitation
Natural Factors
9. 9
TEACH A COURSE
Geology
The type of rock below the surface of soil, the depth, and the characteristic features of rock should be
identified. Such rocks could act as a foundation for many buildings. These are natural and could form visible
landforms. The stability of such geological formations is also important.
Topography
Its all about level of the land whether its plain and flat or is it sloppy
We must check stability of the slope, whether it is strong enough or not for the construction.
Do you have any hills or mountains nearby? Will it affect the movement of the sun or the wind?
Any water bodies? Can you enjoy the view of the water body from your site?
Hydrography
Hydrography provides information about all types of water bodies present in and around the site: lakes,
streams, any marshy land(swamps), or natural wells. It also reveals the availability or otherwise of a
groundwater table and the depth at which it is available.
10. 10
TEACH A COURSE
Soil
Soil analysis in important element for frame construction in buildup.
Type and size of foundation will be decided with respect to its soil bearing capacity.
As a building is supported by its foundation, the foundation is supported by soil.
The strength and stability of soil depends on its physical properties.
Vegetation
Landscape planning can reduce the amount of sunlight heating building surface. Prevent reflection of solar
radiation from entering the house. Can also reduce are temperature near the house and provide evaporative
cooling.
If they are in the way on construction, they should be removed Vegetation and natural features should me
marked onto the site plan so that it will assist during the design stage:
I Location of trees
ii. Type of trees
iii. Size of the trees - diameter or spread of the branches
iv. Heights of the trees
Wildlife
This is an important consideration when choosing sites for parks and recreation. Fishing and hunting are
major recreational activities. The selection of land suitable for such activities depends on natural wildlife
present in the area. Wildlife also adds form, color and movement to the landscape. One might also want to be
informed about the wildlife present in the area to preserve it and not disturb the animals natural habitats due
to the construction.
11. 11
TEACH A COURSE
Climatic Factors
Across a piece of land, the elevation difference, character of topography, vegetation cover, and water bodies
influence the climate of that area. On the other hand, precipitation and temperature are the major factors
affecting vegetation. In cool and temperate climates, vegetation may be used to block winter winds.
Cultural Factors
Existing land use – ownership of adjacent property and off-site nuisance
Linkages
Traffic and transit-vehicular and pedestrian circulation on or adjacent to site.
Density and floor area ratio
Utilities – sanitation , water, gas, electricity, storm water drainage.
Existing buildings
Historic factors – historic buildings and landmarks.
12. 12
TEACH A COURSE
This implies a survey of the present status of the land-whether it is residential, commercial, industrial or
recreational. The ownership of the adjacent site will also affect the land being surveyed.
Offsite nuisances: Disturbances from outside and around the site have to be studied.
Visual nuisance elements: Power lines, water tower, certain industrial complexes, highways, advertisement
boards, junkyards(waste dumps), etc., are some examples of eye-sore elements that have to be taken into
account.
Possible auditory nuisance: Noise produced by heavy automobiles, trains, air traffic etc. and the surrounding
population has to be studied.
Olfactory nuisance: Dumps, chemicals, other wastes in and around the site have to be taken care of.
