Gujarat vernecular architecture
The document summarizes the vernacular architecture of Gujarat, India. It describes the traditional building styles that developed in response to the hot, dry climate and scarce resources. These include circular Bhunga houses made of mud walls and thatched roofs, which are durable and well-suited to the desert conditions. The document also outlines the settlement patterns, with curvilinear streets and rows of houses built using locally-available materials like mud, bamboo, and grass in accordance with construction techniques that provide stability despite extreme weather.
Artist's village Belapur
The Belapur Housing project in Navi Mumbai, also known as the Artist's Village, was designed by architect Charles Correa in 1986 to provide affordable housing for artists. The project consisted of 550 low-rise dwelling units spread across 6 hectares of land in a high-density development. Each unit was placed on its own plot to allow residents to freely modify and expand their homes over time. While originally intended for artists, few artists ultimately lived there as it was located far from Mumbai's urban center. Over the decades, residents have significantly modified the structures, often expanding vertically rather than horizontally as originally planned.

LAURIE BAKER CENTER OF HABITAT STUDIES
The document provides details about the Laurie Baker Centre of Habitat Studies located in Kerala, India. It describes the campus layout, buildings, and architectural features that exemplify Laurie Baker's principles of low-cost and sustainable design. The campus contains five buildings designed by Baker including a dormitory, guest house, dining hall, office, and watch tower. All buildings utilize Baker's techniques like filler slabs, arches, jaalis, and built-in furniture to minimize costs while maximizing natural light and ventilation. The campus was developed on a former quarry site and preserves the existing vegetation and natural contours.
Charles correa
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.
Laurie baker
Baker studied architecture in Birmingham and graduated in 1937, aged 20, in a period of political unrest for Europe.During the Second World War, he served in the Friends Ambulance Unit in China and Burma.He worked as an architect for an international and interdenominational Mission dedicated to the care of those suffering from leprosy. He focused on converting or replacing asylums once used to house the ostracized sufferers of the disease - "lepers".He Used indigenous architecture and methods of these places as means to deal with his once daunting problems.
Baker's designs invariably have traditional Indian sloping roofs and terracotta Mangalore tile shingling with gables and vents allowing rising hot air to escape curved walls to enclose more volume at lower material cost than straight walls.Designing and building low cost, high quality, beautiful homes
Suited to or built for lower-middle to lower class clients.
Irregular, pyramid-like structures on roofs, with one side left open and tilting into the wind.Brick jali walls, a perforated brick screen which utilises natural air movement to cool the home's interior and create intricate patterns of light and shadow.

Atira housing l
The Atira Housing project in Ahmedabad, India was one of architect Balkrishna Doshi's early experiments in public housing from 1956. The housing was commissioned by Kasturbhai Lalbhai for workers at the Atira Textile Factory and researchers at the Physical Research Laboratory. Doshi designed low-cost housing units inspired by Le Corbusier's projects, using local materials and natural ventilation. The north-south oriented houses had verandas and cross ventilation slots. Each single room house had a patio, toilet and shared drainage between backyards. Though Doshi hoped to use local potters for the vaulted structures, bricks were ultimately used to control costs. The project took on a village-like character over time as

Culture &vernacular architecture-jammu&kashmir
This document discusses the culture, climate, building construction methods, and materials used in Jammu and Kashmir, India. It notes that the region has a diverse culture with influences from Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, and Buddhism. It experiences varying climates across its divisions, with Kashmir having a moderate climate and Ladakh being a cold desert. Traditional urban construction methods include "Dajji Dewar" and "Taq," which use timber framing, bricks, stones, and mud. Rural buildings commonly have stone masonry walls, timber roofs, and flat mud roofs to withstand the cold winters. The techniques help optimize construction for the local earthquake risks, climate, and materials.
Belapur Incremental housing - A case study
The document summarizes Charles Correa's incremental housing project in CBD Belapur, India. It describes the project's low-cost housing typologies designed around communal courtyards. Housing was organized into clusters of 7-12 pairs of freestanding homes arranged around shared spaces. This allowed residents to independently modify their own homes over time. While many original structures have been replaced, the hierarchy of community spaces remains intact decades later. The project demonstrated high-density affordable housing built at a human scale with simple materials. However, maintaining common spaces and adapting to changing aspirations have presented challenges over time.

Museum of food will build organically, operating initially with a decentralized
model that doesn’t depend on enticing people to its home but takes the museum
directly to the people.
• SCOOP is the first manifestation of this approach.
• By creating immersive, interactive interpretations of their shared culinary past,
present and future, the British Museum food will continually challenge standards
of how to experience an exhibition.

Log cob and wattle and daub - 18 march 2014 - Cornwall
This document summarizes a study visit by a group of French and British partners to Cornwall, England from March 18-22, 2014 to learn about building with ancient natural materials. The group visited several buildings constructed of cob, straw, lime, and hemp to learn about different building techniques like implementing cob walls, insulating with hemp, and using lime and clay plasters. They also learned directly from their hosts how to use and prepare natural building materials like analyzing soil composition, mixing earth and straw, and constructing cob lifts and blocks. The visit concluded with a slideshow presentation by the French participants to share what they learned about low-impact natural building techniques.
Mobile Permaculture Display
This document outlines plans for a mobile permaculture demonstration project. It will include various educational elements that can be transported and demonstrated in different settings. Elements will include a green map of San Francisco, informational pamphlets, a worm bin, seed bombs, and more. They will be carried in a backpack for small demonstrations or a waterproof trunk that can hold more for larger spaces. Long term goals include a bicycle cart to better transport elements between locations and connect different communities. Questions remain around specifications for different events and optimal materials for long-term construction projects.
Coilinginform
The document provides instructions for students to construct a coil pot within a cardboard form using coil building techniques, including making a base, adding coils that decrease in size and are joined with slip, and smoothing the coils to complement a pre-planned design while avoiding excessive pressure on the inside of the form. The coil pot construction should demonstrate mastery of techniques like varied coil heights and proper drying to prevent cracking, with the goal of incorporating pattern and variety within the given form.

Each activity uses common materials and the engineering design process to solve problems through building, testing, and modifying designs. Implementation options are provided to offer the activities individually or together in longer events facilitated by teens, students, or volunteers. Additional engineering education resources are also listed.
Circular Economy Introduction
The document introduces the concept of a circular economy as an alternative to the current linear economy model of "take, make, use, dispose". It describes how economies were more circular historically through practices like repairing items, composting food waste, and using parts from broken items to fix others. However, modern economies became more linear as repairing items became more expensive and consumers preferred quick replacements. The circular economy aims to mimic natural resource cycles by reusing, repairing and recycling materials as much as possible before using new raw materials. It discusses the biological and technical material cycles and how innovation can help transition to a more circular system through improved design, business models, recycling technology and collaboration.

ChouEmily- Cal Energy Corps Poster
This document summarizes the process of improving cook stove designs in Nicaragua. It describes testing an existing stove model called Inkawasi, which was designed for other Latin American countries. The initial stove built had issues with cracks forming as the exterior dried. More research was done into using adobe construction techniques. This led to understanding optimal soil mixtures and curing processes to prevent cracking. An improved stove was then successfully built using these adobe methods. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of user-friendly stove designs that can be widely adopted.
Concrete - Purify Water for Agriculture IDM7
Done by Solid Minds group in Qatar Independent Technical School for Boys.
Concrete is a composite material composed of water, coarse granular material (the fine and coarse aggregate or filler) embedded in a hard matrix of material (the cement or binder) that fills the space among the aggregate particles and glues them together.
This module enables the students to study concrete properties in general through experiments done by the students.
Qatar is known to be a desert environment, free of fresh water. So why don’t we make use of rain in the northern places of Qatar and also sanitation. Our project idea is about purifying water that comes from rain and sewage and use it in agriculture.
In our project, we used a concrete tank that collects water with a filter inside to purifies water. Water will then pour and run through channels which feeds the green land.

The document discusses permaculture and provides an example of regenerative land management. It summarizes that permaculture is a system of design principles focused on sustainability, ethics of earth, people and self-sufficiency. As an example, it describes how New College, Oxford has managed oak trees on its land for over 500 years to continuously replace aging beams in its dining hall, showing regenerative long-term planning. The document advocates applying permaculture principles to rehabilitate the Patterson School's land and set it on a path of regenerative organic farming leadership.
V3 patterson school_fundraising_potential_plan
The document discusses potential fundraising plans for Patterson School. It suggests hiring a Director of Land & Farm Entrepreneurship and a Director of Outreach on a contracted basis over the next three years to implement fundraising efforts and manage land, farm, and educational programs. A five-member Fundraising Committee made up of Board members would lead fundraising and strategic planning. Specific friendraising events are proposed to cultivate potential donors. Developing a five-year strategic plan and budget at a Board retreat is also recommended once a permaculture land design is complete. The goal is to raise funds for land/farm projects, create fundraising proposals, and support contracted positions to further Patterson School's mission.
