Jawahar Kala Kendra is a cultural centre in Jaipur, India dedicated to Jawaharlal Nehru. Architect Charles Correa designed the centre based on the original city plan of Jaipur, arranging squares to represent the nine planets. The 9.5 acre complex includes art galleries, workshops, a library, and Shilpgram, a rural complex with replicas of huts from different regions of Rajasthan showcasing crafts and culture. By invoking the original city plan and using local materials like red sandstone, Correa created a space that blends traditional Indian concepts with contemporary design to display and promote India's cultural heritage.
The document summarizes the Vierendeel truss, which achieves stability through rigid connections between vertical web members and horizontal chords. Unlike typical trusses with pin connections, the Vierendeel transfers shear through bending moments at joints and in webs. As a result, all members experience axial, shear and bending stresses. The first Vierendeel bridge was built in Belgium in 1902, and it saw more use there due to difficulties in design before computers. Issues with early welded Vierendeel bridges led to a decline in its use, but examples still exist today.
Study of Folded Plates for understanding their use, types, technology along with suitable case studies. This is a specific type of Methodology adopted for construction over long spans column free spaces. How structurally Folded plates surpases the need of column grids and conventional methods of construction with the proper design and technology is the motive of this study.
Charles Correa was an Indian architect born in 1930 who studied in the US and established a practice in India in 1958. He is known for developing an Indian version of modernism through designs that were climatically responsive, utilized local materials, and incorporated traditional elements like courtyards and terraces. Some of his notable works include the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad, housing projects in Belapur that featured open spaces, and the Bharat Bhavan cultural center in Bhopal with its ritualistic pathway through courtyards and terraces. Correa's philosophy emphasized vernacular traditions, community participation, and addressing the needs of the urban poor.
The document discusses tensile structures, which are buildings that rely on tension in components like cables and fabrics to bear loads. Tensile structures include boundary tensioned membranes, pneumatic structures, and pre-stressed cable nets. They have been used historically in structures like yurts and the Colosseum roof. Tensile structures take saddle, mast-supported, arch-supported, and combination forms. Key components are membranes, bale rings, plates, and specialized hardware. Advantages include long lifecycles, reusability, recyclability, and unique designs, while disadvantages include lack of rigidity and danger if tension is lost.

This document discusses steel portal frames, which are low-rise structures used for industrial and warehouse buildings. They consist of columns connected by horizontal or pitched beams via moment-resisting connections. This allows the frame to act as a single structural unit and reduces bending moments in the beams. Pin joints are introduced to overcome rotational stresses from the beams to the columns. The document then discusses loads on portal frames, proper joint and foundation design, and bracing requirements. It provides specifications for typical steel sections used in portal frames and dimensions. Finally, it summarizes the steel portal frame roof design of the Turbhe Railway Station in India, which features an 84-meter long semi-circular ribbed arch roof.
The document summarizes three projects:
1. The National Handicrafts and Handloom Museum in Delhi, designed by Charles Correa in 1990 to preserve Indian craft traditions and showcase objects from all over India.
2. The Living & Learning Design Center (LLDC) in Kutch, Gujarat, conceived as a resource center and public museum to preserve local crafts. Designed by responding to the local climate and using sustainable materials and techniques.
3. The Uttrayan Art Foundation in Vadodara, Gujarat, completed in 2009, aims to promote art and culture.
Space frames are truss-like, lightweight rigid structures constructed from interlocking struts arranged in a geometric pattern. They were independently developed in the early 1900s and 1950s to span large areas with few interior supports. Space frames transfer loads through a three-dimensional arrangement of linear elements subjected only to axial tension or compression. Common materials used include steel and timber. Connections are made through various joint types, and space frames can be single, double or triple layered grids. They provide advantages like light weight, stiffness and versatility compared to other structures.
Tensile structures and Pneumatic StructuresGeeva Chandana
Tensile structures gain their load-bearing capacity through tension stress in components like cables, fabrics, or foils. They are commonly subdivided into boundary tensioned membranes, pneumatic structures, and pre-stressed cable nets and beams. Tensile structures use thin fabrics stretched over frameworks of cables to create surfaces capable of withstanding forces. Common types include membrane and mesh tensioned structures and pneumatic structures.
1. In open-air theaters, sound reflections bounce between the sloped seating areas and the stage wall, contributing to long reverberation times.
2. When the seating is modeled as sloped surfaces shaped like an inverse cone, most reflections are directed upwards towards the sky, allowing the sound energy to dissipate quickly with few late reflections.
3. The design of open-air theaters aims to minimize external noise, ensure clear propagation of direct sound and early reflections from the seating gradient, and control late reflections to limit reverberation time and eliminate echoes.
The document describes the CIDCO Urban Haat located in CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai. Some key details include:
- It is located on 15 acres of land and has 50 exhibition shops, an amphitheater seating 200, and a food court.
- Facilities include shops exhibiting crafts and food, an amphitheater, and exhibition hall. The design incorporates local vernacular architecture with sloping roofs.
- It serves as a permanent marketplace and location for fairs, exhibitions, and cultural events for the area.
This document provides information on various types of shell structures and folded plate structures. It discusses thin shell structures and the differences between shell structures and plate structures. It then describes various types of shell structures including barrel vaults, domes, folded plates, and intersection shells. It provides details on the design and analysis of these structures, including their elements, behaviors, and reinforcement.
Curtain walls are thin, lightweight walls attached to the exterior of buildings that do not bear structural loads. They enclose the building envelope while allowing interior spaces to be reconfigured. Common types include stick-built, unitized, and rainscreen systems. Curtain walls date back to the 1930s and gained popularity after WWII. Their functions are to prevent water and air penetration while resisting wind and thermal loads. They are constructed through multi-step processes and their market prices vary based on materials.
Folded plate structures are assemblies of flat plates rigidly connected along their edges that can carry loads without internal beams. They are simpler to manufacture than other shell structures using less material. Folded plates have intrinsic rigidity and high load capacity, making them economical for long spans without obstructions. Types include prismatic, pyramidal, and prismoidal plates in frames, roofs, or spatial configurations. Folded plates are used for gymnasium roofs, chapel walls, floor decking, and retaining sheet piles.

Tensile structures provide large column-free interior spaces through the use of tensioned fabric membranes maintained under tension by cable or truss networks. They offer several advantages over conventional structures like flexibility in design, natural daylighting, low costs, and minimal maintenance. However, the lightweight nature of fabric requires careful consideration of structural form finding, static and dynamic load analysis, and material patterning during the design process to develop stable, efficient tensile structures.
This document discusses space frame structures. Space frames are truss-like, lightweight rigid structures constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. They can span large areas with few interior supports because loads are transmitted as tension and compression along struts. Space frames are classified according to number of grid layers (single, double, triple) and curvature (flat, barrel vaults, domes). They are constructed using node joints and connecting various structural members. Design considerations include connection types and erection methods like scaffold, block assembly, and lift-up. Applications include platforms, arenas, and enclosures.
This document discusses different types of dome structures. It begins by explaining that domes are prominent architectural features seen in many historic styles. Domes evolved from simple huts and tombs to large cathedrals and government buildings. The key elements of domes include the cupola, coffering, lantern, oculus, pendentive, rotunda, squinch, and drum. Common dome materials include brick, concrete, bamboo, metal, timber and cast iron. The document goes on to describe different dome types including corbel, geodesic, crossed-arch, onion, oval, saucer and umbrella domes. It concludes by discussing advantages like strength and aesthetics, disadvantages like cost and complexity, and

JAIPUR CITY URBAN DESIGN, ANALYSIS.
REPORT BASED ON THE PAPER:-
Space Formation of Jaipur City, Rajastan, India An
Analysis on City Maps (1925-28) made by Survey of
India
Shuji Funo, Naohiko Yamamoto & Mohan Pant
Charles Correa was an Indian architect known for his sensitivity to the needs of the urban poor. He developed master plans for cities like Navi Mumbai that focused on decentralization into self-sufficient townships with residential neighborhoods organized by income level. At the micro level, his designs for low-income housing emphasized open-to-sky spaces, courtyards, and terraces to accommodate community needs within a limited footprint. His works show an adaptation of modernism to local culture through vernacular influences like tiled roofs, brick walls, and operable wooden louvers.
Raj Rewal is an Indian architect born in 1934 who helped design the Asian Games Village housing complex in New Delhi from 1980-1982. The summary focuses on key design aspects of the housing complex. It clusters buildings to recreate the layout of traditional Indian communities. It includes courtyards as public spaces and scattered terraces for outdoor living. The streets are narrow and broken up into small units to provide shade and resting places, with gateways and bridges linking neighboring houses.

Die Suche nach Innovationen ist häufig nicht wirklich eine Herausforderung für Unternehmen. Laut den bunten post-it auf dem Business Model Canvas wird die Innovation und das neue Geschäftsmodell schon funktionieren. Aber es findet sich innerhalb Ihres Unternehmens niemand, der Ihre Ansätze vermarkten will oder vermarkten kann? Kleiner Trost: das ist kein Einzelschicksal.
Future Trends - Recycling - Demolished Construction MaterialsBruce LaCour
This transition where many essentials become less abundant and more expensive won’t be accepted as permanent by many; however, those that make the transition swiftly will quickly move to many areas of recycling. These will be some of the business survivors I have referred to in earlier articles. One of the biggest recycling movements will be deconstruction and using recovered materials for different uses.
