The document provides information about space frames. It discusses that a space frame is a truss-like, lightweight rigid structure constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. Space frames can span large areas with few interior supports because they are strong due to the inherent rigidity of triangles and how loads are distributed as tension and compression along struts. The document outlines different types of space frame configurations based on curvature and number of grid layers, and discusses their properties, design, construction, and historical development.
CONTEMPORARY PROCESS ON ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Kethees Waran
This document discusses various types of digital architectures, including topological architectures, isomorphic architectures, animate architectures, metamorphic architectures, parametric architectures, and evolutionary architectures. Topological architectures use non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) to describe continuous curved surfaces. Isomorphic architectures are constructed from interacting "blobs" or fields of influence. Animate architectures use animation software and techniques like kinematics and dynamics to generate architectural forms defined by motion and force. Metamorphic architectures employ techniques like key shape animation and deformations to transform architectural geometries. Parametric architectures define relationships between objects using parameters and equations. Evolutionary architectures use genetic algorithms and computer models to simulate the evolution of architectural forms.
Peter Eisenman is an American architect known for developing deconstructivism. Some key points:
1. He studied at Cornell University where he was influenced by theorist Colin Rowe and examined the works of Le Corbusier.
2. Eisenman's early career focused on formalism but he later explored deconstruction and weak form, influenced by philosophers like Derrida.
3. He is known for buildings like the Wexner Center which featured colliding planes that disoriented users.
4. Eisenman's approach considers the layers of physical and cultural contexts at each site rather than just functions or aesthetics.

The construction industry has impacted the environment hugely, from the loss of wild habitats to green field projects, insane amounts of energy used at site during the construction phase, to count a few. In fact, the construction industry accounts for an incredible 36% of worldwide energy usage, and 40% of CO2 emissions. Mining for raw materials results in the pollution of water. The manufacture of cement currently resulted in global annual emissions of 2.8 bn tonnes of CO2; if current rates of urbanisation continue, this could rise to over 4 bn tonnes every year. With this as a backdrop, the world is grappling with a pressing need to address concerns be it environmental or climate change. Sustainable construction has emerged as one of the vital solutions. It is more than just a buzzword; it represents a fundamental shift in the way we design, build, and maintain structures while minimizing their environmental impact and maximizing social and economic benefits.
Green building, also known as sustainable construction, aims to reduce environmental impact through resource efficient design and construction practices. It includes techniques like optimizing energy efficiency, using renewable materials, and generating less waste. The key goals of green building are to efficiently use energy, water and other resources; improve occupant health; and reduce pollution and degradation. Some benefits include reduced operating costs, improved productivity, and protection of natural environments and human health. While green buildings have advantages, there can also be challenges like higher initial costs, longer construction timelines, and ensuring proper indoor air quality.

A green building is designed to minimize environmental impact through efficient resource use, renewable energy, and sustainable materials. It aims to reduce impacts and consider human health. A green building maintains or improves environmental quality through high efficiency to reduce consumption of energy, water, and other resources, which minimizes pollution. LEED certification establishes a points system to evaluate sustainability based on location/transport, materials/resources, water/energy use, and more.
Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to both a structure and the application of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.[1] This requires close cooperation of the contractor, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages.[2] The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.[3]
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings which was Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. Other certificates system that confirms the sustainability of buildings is the British BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) for buildings and large-scale developments. Currently, World Green Building Council is conducting research on the effects of green buildings on the health and productivity of their users and is working with World Bank to promote Green Buildings in Emerging Markets through EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) Market Transformation Program and certification.[4] There are also other tools such as Green Star in Australia and the Green Building Index (GBI) predominantly used in Malaysia.
Although new technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices in creating greener structures, the common objective of green buildings is to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:
Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity
Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation
Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to both a assembly and the using of progressions that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, process, conservation, renovation, and demolition. In extra words, green building design contains finding the balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment. This requires close collaboration of the design team, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages. The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.A similar concept is natural building, which is usually on a smaller scale and tends to focus on the use of natural materials that are available locally. Other related topics include sustainable design and green architecture. Sustainability may be defined as meeting the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Although some green building programs don't address the issue of the retrofitting existing homes, others do, especially through public schemes for energy efficient refurbishment. Green construction principles can easily be applied to retrofit work as well as new construction.
The document discusses green building concepts and provides examples of green buildings in India. It begins with defining green buildings as structures that minimize waste and environmental impact during construction and use. It then describes various design elements like energy efficiency, water conservation, and use of sustainable materials. The document concludes by highlighting several certified green buildings in India, including the One Earth headquarters, ITC Green Centre, and Rajiv Gandhi International Airport.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

2. INTRODUCTION
Development is a continuous/ futuristic
process that is applicable to the whole world to
everyone and everything on it.
Sustainable development is important for
environmental stability of the ecosystem,
where the main focus is to preserve the natural
and non-renewable resources.
3. WHAT IS GREEN
ARCHITECTURE?
Green architecture is a sustainable method of
designing green buildings, where the designs
and construction materials are environment
friendly. It is all about building energy efficient
and eco-friendly homes and facades.
For constructing a green building, all the
steps, i.e. right from consultation to site
selection should be taken wisely in favor of the
ecosystem.
4. The growth and development of the
communities largely impact the environment
directly. The manufacturing, design,
construction and operation of the buildings
in which we live are responsible for the
consumption of many of our natural
resources.
Green architecture has directly resulted in
the progress of environmental, economical
and social benefit of the country.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
5. THE SOLUTION
Green and sustainable design is the thoughtful
integration of architecture with electrical,
mechanical, and structural engineering.
With the help of sensible architecture and
cutting edge technology, one can construct a
green building using solar panels, thermal
mass building construction, green materials
like glass, etc. This requires less use of water,
natural resources, energy, etc. and also
reduces air and water pollution.
6. HOW DOES GLASS HELP?
Glass is one such material that can be recycled
numerous times without losing its purity. This
minimizes the use of non-renewable construction
materials and also reduces global emissions.
The wide range of glass products by AIS,
specially designed for constructing green
buildings, prevents the heat from entering the
building, whereas provides maximum natural
light to reduce the need for artificial lighting & air-
conditioners and therefore significantly preserves
the natural resources.
7. TYPES OF GLASS
SOLUTIONS
AIS aims to manufacture eco-friendly and
energy efficient glass products that help in
saving the natural resources.
The glass range for green architecture is as
below:
• AIS Ecosense (Energy Efficient glass)
• AIS Opal (Solar Control glass)
• AIS SunShield ( High Performance glass)
• AIS Tinted glass (Heat- Reflective glass)
