Importance of Green Building Design Strategies in an Office
Building
Author 1: AalapKoranne (aalapkoranne97@gmail.com)

SMEF‟s BRICK School of Architecture, Pune
Abstract: In a world exhausting our natural resources, green building has
become most important to save our planet from despair. This, however, can
only be achieved through a concerted effort by architects, engineers,
construction companies and the support of the concerned citizen. There are
environmental benefits, cost efficiency and economic benefits, health
benefits and many more which are analysed and studied in the research
paper. Office buildings specially are the most energy consuming buildings
while construction, operation and even when it is demolished. In addition to
this heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and air conditioning consume
enormous energy and cause damage to the environment. Green Office
building reduce the environmental impact while increasing efficiency,
employee health, and productivity. The objective of green building concept
is to develop buildings which use the natural resources to the minimal at the
time of construction as well as operation. The design, construction, operation
and maintenance of buildings normally requires enormous amount of energy,
water and raw materials generating large quantities of waste causing air and
water pollution. Green building is the only answer through creating healthier
and more resource efficient models of construction, renovation, operation
and maintenance.Sothe incorporation of Green Building Design Strategies
specifically in office buildings is important in order to decrease energy
consumption. The focus of this is on the active and passive strategies for
energy efficiency, water efficiency and indoor environment quality. Thermax
Office, Shivaji Nagar, Pune (IGBC Gold rated building) is studied and
analysed considering all the aspects of IGBC and ECBC standards. An
Architect has the ability to change entire building process with the stoke of
pen by various specifications and the way in which materials are used. The
outcome of this research would be the methods, ways, or strategies involved
for achieving good sustainability performance.

Site Selection is Vital: Importance and Different Criteria of
Site Selection for Airport
Author 1: Aanchal Bhatia (bhatiaaanchal3@gmail.com)
Author 2: Prof. Prathama Jhaveri (prathama@dypatilarch.com)
D Y Patil School of Architecture, Lohegaon, Pune
Abstract: Aviation plays a significant role in modern socio economics,
providing connectivity and accessibility and facilitating commerce. Airport
are critical nodes of air transportation system with this its user-friendly
designing is also important, starting with the preliminary stages of design
that include site selection. There are various criteria that need to be followed,
while selecting a site for airport construction. This include land use planning,
characteristics of wind and weather conditions, interference with the existing
road network, environmental and socioeconomic impacts.Study of these
criteria for different sites provides us with the data of the most suitable site.
This research aims to study the document of CIDCO with the other
documents on airports and analyse the different criteria of selection by doing
a comparative analysis on the different airports. This research is to describe
such multicriteria approach of various existing airports and their role in
designing an airport with the different criteria of site selection.

Architecture of Traditional Alisin Pune: A Case Study of
Tambat Ali and Kumbhar Ali
Author 1- Aarti Manohar Sapkal (aartisapkal18@gmail.com)
Author 2- Prof. NishigandhaSakhardande
D Y Patil School of Architecture, Lohegaon, Pune
Abstract: Pune, the cultural capital of Maharashtra, has a long legacy of
Alis. Alis are the craft skill by lanes- places where groups of people with
special skills lived together and carried out their trade. During the Peshwa
rule, Kasba Peth was the centre of Pune, where the supporting trades like
Tambat, Burud, Kumbhar, Kasar, Badhai, etc. got located. Thus we find
Tambat Ali and Kumbhar Ali quite close to it. Tambat Ali (an Ali named
after Tambat community) is an area where copper and brass items are
manufactured. Tambats are the craftsmen manufacturing and dealing in
utensils of copper, bronze, brass etc. The part of Kasba Peth near Mutha
river is known as Kumbhar Ali or Kumbhar Wada. Kumbhar Ali is an area
where clay products are manufactured by the earthen potmakers. It has been
observed that, in Pune these trade practices, which carry heritage value are
undergoing rapid changes. For example,Pagadband Ali where Pagadbands
used to make Pagdis (caps), which had great importance particularly in
Peshwa period, is now on the verge of vanishing. In order to avoid the loss
of such significant heritage skills, it has become necessary to record the
earlier and existing picture of Alis. The aim of this paper is to give analysis
of changes in the evolution of the Tambat Ali and Kumbhar Ali. This paper
attempts to address, through a comparative analysis, the journey of the
evolution of the said Alis, along with a set of recommendations that would
help to preserve the character or sense of belonging of these areas.

Architecture as a Tool to Restore Identities in the Regions of
Warfare
Author 1 - Abhishek Sanjay Kshirsagar
(abhishek.kshirsagar898@gmail.com)
Author 2 – Dr. Abhijit Natu (asnatu@bkps.edu)
B.K.P.S. College of Architecture, Pune
Abstract: In the regions of conflict, the damage as a result of war is evident
visually in the form of destruction. This visual impact of destruction is the
first in a long series of negative impacts which have social and cultural
consequences. The cultural impact of war in a region can be seen when an
intentional pre-planned attack is done to eradicate settlements and cities
resulting in loss of life, loss of home and loss of identity. Every human being
having conflicting thoughts is a target and the structures are the shelters of
these human beings. Structures are therefore the targets of high priority. The
impact of this could be observed in the late 20th
century as well as in the last
two decades where a study showed that 90% of the people directly affected
by wars were civilians who in most of the cases were dragged into the war
unwillingly. Keeping this in mind, the research paper aims to study the
effects of war on architecture and its occupants. Thus, a question needs to be
raised as to what should be the future of these affected buildings. To achieve
this goal, the study attempts to do content analysis through archival data,
book case-studies and photos depicting such events in warfare affected and
conflict regions. The study is limited to the architecture of a region which
was a casualty of war- an intentional attack on architecture which results in a
physical impact on the building and a perceptual impact on the being. The
study also attempts to find appropriate strategies as to what should be the
correct way forward. As the integral part of winning or losing a war is
determined by the destruction of buildings, cities and their culture; it is
relevant that architecture can be an impetus to help preserve it. Architecture
can therefore be a tangible tool to restore the identities of individuals and
communities.

Abstract: Today‟s scenario of happy and comfortable living standards leads
to attractive residential projects by developers with multiple activities like,
health and entertainment activities, in India. While these innovative
inclusions in terms of amenities are mostly relegated to luxury residential
projects, one feature that is commonly included in most residential projects
is a swimming pool. This research paper aims to address the existing
swimming pool spaces and their condition with respect to its maintenance
provided in residentialprojects in Pune, city. However, there has been much

The Necessity of Building Design for Low Energy
Consumption in Commercial - Retail Building
Author 1 – Anita Chankhore
Abstract: A self-sustainable building is an outcome of the building design
which focuses on increasing the efficiency of the usage of both non-
renewable and renewable resources. The excessive use of the non-renewable
resources in extensive construction is very harmful to the nature. The aim of
this research paper is to reduce the overall impact of the built environment
on nature by efficiently using the building design to minimize the energy
consumption, thus making it more self-sufficient. India being a booming
economy for tourism, the commercial sector is also facing a tremendous
growth. The commercial retail building are building that are used for
commercial purpose, and include office building, warehouse and retail
shop.The above can be achieved by concentrating on the comparative
analysis of various cases of commercial – retail buildings and it‟s designing
in terms of planning and its overall energy consumption. These findings will
be helpful to study the building design with respect to less energy
consumption and increase in the usage of natural resources like light and
ventilation in building.

Abstract: Resorts have been identified as luxurious spaces, hence to keep a
check on its energy consumption and usage, architectural interventions are
made. Through the use of passive climatic control strategies and
architectural tools, it is possible to construct energy-efficient resorts. Thus,
an energy-efficient resort would be the one that incorporates special
techniques, materials, construction methods and skills which cuts energy
waste while ensuring occupant‟s comfort. And it should be durable as well.
There are various approaches to achieve energy-efficiency in a buildings,
namely:
1. By incorporating passive climatic control techniques and
architectural tools.
2. Improved construction techniques.
3. Using energy saving equipment.
4. Actively managing energy use.
Out of these approaches the study focuses on identifying the passive climatic
control strategies and architectural tools used in known energy-efficient
resorts. It also finds out the strategies that are easier to implement while
designing a resort. The scope of the study is on the strategies used for
heating, day lighting and ventilation. The study is limited to the architectural
interventions and passive climatic control strategies and does not include
artificial systems for heating, light and ventilation. The study will be
conducted from secondary data for identifying various passive climatic
control strategies of known energy-efficient resorts. A questionnaire survey
will be conducted to find out the strategies that are easier to implement while
designing a resort. The conclusions will be drawn on the basis of the
analysis and appropriate suggestions will be forwarded.

Author 2 – Prof. SeemantiniNakil
D Y Patil School of Architecture, Ambi, Talegaon
Abstract: Courtyard is a building element that is originated from the hot and
dry region. It is basically an enclosed area surrounded by a building or walls
and opens to the sky. It is a primary meeting place for different activities.
Courtyards are common architectural patterns throughout many periods of
history and in many regions. They are referred as a micro climate modifier,
which may improve thermal comfort conditions in the enclosed as well as
the attached built volume.
Increase in global warming led to the increase in passive cooling techniques.
Courtyard is one of the best passive cooling techniques used since long
period. The courtyard is influenced by social, economic, cultural and
environmental conditions.
Literature study on courtyard in hot and dry climate suggests the various
types of evaluation which proves that the orientation and the proportion are
the two important factors for the change in the micro climate. This paper
attempts to explain literature study of the role of courtyard in maintaining the
micro climate of a structure in hot and dry region of India. The main
objective of the research is to understand the effects of courtyard geometry
on the changing nature of the micro climate of a building in hot and dry
region. Further can also be established guidelines for efficient courtyard
design in different types of buildings.

Abstract: Mumbai is a densely populated city on India‟s west coast, a
financial center and India‟s largest city which keeps drawing people from all
over the country; creating spatial crisis. Because of the geographical
constraint the city has expanded linearly and now to cater the current needs it
is growing vertically. This paper draws comparison between Mumbai and
other linear cities like Curitiba, Brazil and Copenhagen, Denmark to study
the impact of transportation through Soria Mata‟s theory of a linear city.
Spatial crisis created by the ongoing urbanization is addressed through high
rise and high-density buildings. This is the effect of urbanization observed in
the all the cities in the process of urbanization. This paper aims to study the
impact of transit-oriented development along the major corridors of high-rise
and high-density buildings. This is done by studying the areas with similar
scenario using parameters like travel patterns, demand and supply, parking,
roads and modes of conveyance; to study the change in land use pattern in
the transit corridor. This paper critically analyzes the role of connectivity
systems in contributing to the sustainability of a city; intends to study the
impact of transit-oriented development on the built mass, the impact of rapid
transit systems as an asset of sustainability and also the role of transit
systems in promoting mixed-use development. The role of connectivity in
Mumbai‟s sustainability is analyzed based on the parameters like network of
the transportation systems and their effective use, influence of technology
and scope of experimentation in Mumbai, floor space index (FSI) along the
transit corridors: present vs development plan 2034 and changing land use‟s

Sinhagad College of Architecture, Pune
Abstract: India is a developing country, taking big steps towards
urbanization. Urban green spaces are an essential part of urban planning.
Urban green spaces as well as other open spaces in urban planning are as
important as doing the smallest detail in a building. Looking at the growing
urban cities, the proportion of green spaces compared to the built mass is
very less, which is not an ideal case. Especially in today‟s lifestyle, where
people are not much concerned about their health, it is very important to
design these green spaces that would motivate people towards having a
better and a healthy lifestyle. Urban green spaces have a positive impact on
physical health, mental health as well as helps improve one‟s social
interaction. Along with these, it has other benefits like a safer locality, fresh
and clean air, etc. The aim of this research is to study the importance of
Urban Green Spaces, that is public parks and public gardens in order to
promote a healthy lifestyle. Methodology: The studies will be done using
various research tools such as field survey and interviews in order to study
the spatial organization of the built and landscape elements in a park.
Activity mapping for understanding the user interface and their response
towards parks. The impact of activities in parks on health enhancement
would be studied through interviews, questionnaires and surveys. The
expected outcome from this study would be to formulate some ground rules
which could be used for the planning and the spatial organization in a park.
Thus, here we will be talking about the urban green spaces in residential
areas. Urban green spaces, here, refer to the public parks or public gardens.

Application of Semantics and Semiotics in Understanding
Design Philosophy of Ar. Charles Correawithin Context of
Indian Architecture
Author 1 - Arnav Kulkarni (arnav28111998@gmail.com)
Marathwada Mitra Mandal‟s College of Architecture, Pune.
Abstract: In order for one to communicate, a formal or otherwise linguistic
system is adapted. The language can be understood only when the sender
and receiver share a common system of symbols and signs. Similarly,
Architectural language, which has its basis in visual communication, has
semantics and semiotics that have the ability to convey meaning through
spaces. Every building has a physical form and a character which is implicit
or explicit visual language that is perceived by each viewer individually.
Linguistic properties of Architecture can be understood in a metaphorical
way that is used in spatial realm and perceived by humans. Through
Architect Charles Correa‟s work, it is noted that while working along the
Indian context, his ideology was being shaped due to Socio-Cultural-
Economic context as well as the climate of Indian sub-continent. These
aspects together formed an Architectural vocabulary which was very specific
to Indian context. This research paper attempts to explore and understand the
mediums used by Architect Charles Correa to convey meaning in Indian
Architecture. The research through visual analysis of Primary Case Studies
of Bharat Bhavan- Bhopal, Jawahar Kala Kendra- Jaipur and IUCAA- Pune
concludes the study of Architectural linguistic pattern in comprehension of a
form to extract implicit and explicit meanings.

Abstract: While observing other communities of India, Parsi community
came in mind through their culture and housevform. The Parsis are a tiny
community of Persian descent, living mainly in India with Diaspora in
Pakistan, UK,USA, New Zealand and Australia. Their fellow believers still
live in Kerman, Yazd, and Shiraz in contemporaryIran. It has been known
that Parsis were rich in their tradition, culture and income as well. They are
in fewer numbers in our country. Today, Parsi heritage and influence can be
found in every nook andcranny of the city from the various Parsi businesses
that have steered the growth of the city. Parsi migration tothe city from rural
areas of Gujarat continued over the next several decades as the British took
control of Bombaywith the establishment of the East India Company.To
study the cultural dimension and house form of a Parsi and communal park,

Abstract: As the urban infrastructure went on increasing, the amount of
green land kept on decreasing. In dense urban infrastructure developments,
most of the walls and roofs face the direct sunlight. These exposed surfaces
gain a lot of direct heat and result in increased heat loads on structures. The
rooftops are beneficial to individual as well as environment to reduce urban
heat island effect. Case examples show that there are many examples where
these exposed rooftops are seen to be used for farming, considering the
potential energy benefits. Green rooftops were seen to be beneficial to
buildings and their surroundings in ways such as; passive cooling, less
energy consumption, water management, water runoff quality, air
purification, use of unused rooftops, reduction in urban pollution, and other
productive benefits. The paper concludes by highlighting certain techniques,
guidelines, potentials and benefits of rooftop farming with the help of case
examples and by highlighting the role of rooftop farming in creating
sustainable environment besides its other productive benefits.

Conflict?
Author 1 - Borate Nikhil S. (nikhilborate2@gmail.com)
Marathwada Mitra Mandal College of Architecture, Pune
Abstract : In India there are various types of festivals held with respect to
culture and tradition. Maharashtra too is no exception to this. Festivals such
as Ganesh Utsav, Navratri, Diwali, etc.. are celebrated at family as well as at
community level where the society meets together and enjoy it. Nowadays
parking is a major issue that is faced in festivals because of temporary
structures. Cultural and traditional activities are perceived to be more
important than other recreational and leisure activities by. It is noted over the
last few years, Ganesh Utsav has impacted on Environment and
Architecture. It has influenced public places such as shops, residential area,
chowk and mainly on parking. Also there are Mandap that are erected on
many streets and other public spaces that adversely impact on the day to day
life and in turn, have been influenced.
Current study focuses on parking during Ganapati festival, festival‟s
elaborate pujas and rituals that take place for 10-11 days. During these days
there are different activities held on different days which directly affects
parking at various public places along with changes in pedestrian and
vehicular movement. It is important to understand the effects of use of public
places for parking during the festival and its efficiency for public utility.
There are three categorized public places in Rajgurunagar which have been
analyzed and studied. First is the temporary structure is placed at the corner
or edge of the road, second one is placed at the center of the road and third
one is where the public market is get converted into the community festival
during the Ganapati festival. A Survey was carried out to find, how public
places during festival get affected by parking. Paper concludes that, there is
definite relation between rituals during the festival and parking in the public
spaces.

Fifth year, B-Arch
B. K. P. S. College of Architecture, Pune
Abstract: Shopping malls attract lots of crowd. People visit them to shop,
window-shop, spend time, etc. The shoppers need to move freely both
horizontally and vertically, inside and outside of the mall. Within buildings,
circulation spaces are spaces that are predominantly used for circulation,
such as entrances, foyers and lobbies, corridors, stairs, landings, lifts, etc.
Public circulation spaces in malls are the spaces which channelize the
shoppers‟ traffic, provide views and allow them to window-shop, increasing
the salability and leading to success of the mall. So the public circulation
spaces should be designed accordingly. Also circulation in the mall should
be simple, easy to understand and comfortable as shoppers who get confused
and uneasy generally spend less time in such malls. For ease and comfort of
shoppers it is necessary to find out the architectural factors which should be
considered while designing the public circulation spaces in malls and
understand that how they affect the people and their circulation. Three malls
in Pune were selected under consideration of mall diversity, size, location
distribution, and their popularity. The data collection and analysis will be
done by the observation method. Analysis of the observations noted in the
three malls will be done by comparing the cases. The proposed outcome is
that this study will help students and professionals (architects) to understand
what factors should be considered while designing public circulation spaces
in malls. Also, the majors to be adopted as well as avoided while designing
them.

Abstract: Street is the urban element that plays a very important role in
creating identity of a city. The main channel where people move in the city,
streetscape serves as an immediate source of general images and perceptions.
Pune has a versatile urban identity which certainly reflects when one moves
around different areas in the city. It is known for its strong character which
is reflected through its architecture. Urban identity is closely associated with
sense of place, which is a resultant of complex interactions between
activities and physical settings. The research is done in reference to Dastur
Meher Road, Camp and Kasbah Peth, being versatile in terms of character
and its heritage importance for the city. Dastur Meher road stands as a
landmark of Parsi culture in Pune restoring its importance from the colonial
era. Kasbah Peth is the oldest residential area in Pune marking the influence
right from Shivaji Maharaj reign. The study focuses on tracing history of
both the streets referring to their context, understanding the culture,
occupation and economic background of the people living there. Also
understanding the typology of the buildings considering their spatial
organization. The study further focuses on the character of street through its
montage and building elements, it is conducted with two phases of surveys
on both residents and visitors which represent inside view and outside view.
This would give an overall picture of how heritage conservation and
enhancement of the streets will take place to generate importance of heritage
landmarks in the city.

Abstract: The cultural significance of India reflects in its heritage structures
and architecture. Today they have started losing its essence as it is no more
assigned a function, hence maintenance becomes an issue. Recently there is
an increasing trend of reusing heritage structures in order to keep it lively
whilst preserving the structure. Adding function to these structures is an
effective way to retain the cultural significance of the structure. Adaptive
Reuse enables such structures to continuously derive relevance from use and
thus remain dynamically evolving. Apart from conserving the structure, its
cultural significance should also be upheld, which is seldom talked about in
previous literature. This research focuses on different approaches of adaptive
reuse and its effects. The methodology of the research was case study of 3
reuse projects – City Palace baradari (Jaipur) , City Palace Udaipur ,
Jadhavgadh fort (Pune). These projects have a similarity – Palaces Reused to
cater to hospitality industry, but the scales of the all 3 projects were
different; for understanding different outcomes of similar functional change.
A comparative analysis of these case studies has helped in understanding the
approach and barriers in reuse. The outcome of the research will be
analysing the different approaches for adaptive reuse of heritage structures
and the resulting effects.The research shall help in further studies regarding
reuse of such culturally significant structures and the various approaches
which can be followed.

Author 1 – Hiteshe S Kapadia
Author 2 – Ar. Madhuri Zite
Dr. BhanubenNanavati College of Architecture, Pune Abstract: Every metropolitan city has both positive and negative sides. Being a
metropolitan city, it gives exposure to variousactivities such as – a better living,
reach out to all the facilities and more, however, people who migrate from
townto the cities, in need of a job and a better living, some of them manages to
get what they want but the rest of thepeople end up working to earn at least for
the living, and then add up to the population of the slum.Food, clothing and
shelter are the basic human needs. However, many barely manage to fulfill the
first twonecessities but the third remains beyond their reach. A large section of
population, therefore, lives and sleeps atpublic spaces, like roads, pavements and
streets, and is categorized as homeless population. Thus, homelessness canbe
defined as a condition of people lacking housing, because they cannot afford or
are unable to maintain a regular,safe and adequate shelter. Homeless attempt to
create shelters out of tin, cardboard, wood and plastic. Slums canprovide an
escape, yet individuals often cannot afford them. Hence, there is need for
temporary shelter which isaffordable to the homeless people. In order to suffice
the need of a temporary shelter, the research focuses onexploring the possibilities
and drawing parallels using „Paper Mache‟ as only construction material. Paper
is the onlymaterial, which is easily available, reusable, lightweight and eco-
friendly. Papermache is a mixture of paper withwater and glue. Newspapers or
any other old paper (avoid glossy and thick papers) is used in the making of
themixture. The main objective of the research was to study the material
behaviour, examine the structural stability,testing against weather conditions and
lastly comparing the cost of themodule.There are many examples of temporary
shelters made with various materials which required lot of human effort inas
compared to the temporary shelter made with Paper Mache.The shelter module 1
& module 2 were casted and then treated with polyurethane and white cement +
URP,respectively and further, it was checked against the (controlled) weather
conditions. The tests were carried out undertap water for waterproof check and
burnt with lighter for fireproof check.Also, it was thrown from a height of 2m
tocheck against the material stability.

Abstract: India; region of multiple unique culture formed by various
communities in various regions. It is oneof the religiously and ethnically
diversenation in the world. India is a country and where tribes too havetheir
dominant communities contributing to the rich culture of the country. Tribal
communities in Indiahave a distinct pattern of settlement. These settlements
are interdependent on each other for living, hencethe pattern. They in the
process of evolving, contribute to the cultural landscape that includes the
built form.This built form is a response of community living that depends on
social, cultural, and ecological conditionsof the place.
Built form is a deliberate act. The act is not temporary one but gives the idea
of its culture and time.The built form speaks the language of people and
place. Food, shelter, clothing forms the base of the routineof the community
settlement, which are governed by the socio-cultural factors, climate,
geography,availability of materials, of the given place.Gond tribes are the
largest tribal groups found in central and southern India. They are
classifiedunder scheduled tribes who once ruled the kingdoms in central
India in 18th and 19th century. This paperfocuses on the study of the built
form of the Gond tribes in the Hemalkasa region of Gadchiroli district
inMaharashtra. This paper attempts to demonstrate the relationship between
the built form, people and place.The approach of the paper is to study the
literature and documentation of various built forms of the tribalcommunity
of Hemalkasa region. The result would not only bring a possible social
explanation of builtform but the way in which built form can be used to
understand culture of the place and the community.

Waste to Worth: Potentiality and use of recycled
construction waste materials in the building industry
Author 1 - Meghana Halhalli(meghana.halhalli@gmail.com)
Author 2 - Ar. Suraj Kocheta
Trinity College of Architecture, Pune
Abstract: India‟s construction industry is the largest consumer of basic
materials of both the natural ones and the manufactured/synthetic ones. The
growth in construction industries is continuously throwing huge quantities of
wastes and byproducts. As the availability and capacity of landfill spaces
diminish, recycling and reusing those waste becomes crucial for sustainable
development. As per the Central Pollution Control Board of India, the
current quantum of municipal solid waste generation in India is estimated to
be about 50 million tons per annum. Out of the total waste generation,
construction industry accounts for about 50% of total solid waste depending
upon location and duration. This waste generated contributes to greenhouse
gas emissions which should be reduced by its recycling. In the present era of
the circular economy, we need to strategize our self to reduce waste,
particularly in the built environment. Such waste is accounting for a fifth of
global emissions. Generally, over 30% of the building materials purchased
for the construction project can go to waste, but one can save much of this by
reducing waste production, and re-using and recycling the waste that is
produced.The main objective of this research is to highlight the rising need
for recycling and reusing construction waste materials. This research aims at
studying the potentiality and use of recycled construction waste materials in
the building industry.The study is conducted by means of a combination of
case studies, questionnaire and detailed analysis.The paper concludes that
the lack of knowledge and understanding of the use as well as the benefits of
using recycled and reused construction materials in the building construction
is one of the problematic barriers which need to be looked upon. With
increased awareness of recycling building materials and encouraging their
use in construction industry, substantial amount of waste generated can be
reduced and its harmful impact on the environment as a whole can be
brought down. This is a major step towards a sustainable approach in
building construction.

is a pressure of reaching somewhere, the meaningful and crucial information
is being ignored.
Increasingly an individual's inability to step away from technology can have
serious consequences, one major effect being anxiety. Recent surveys have
shown increasing cases of anxiety and stress with the growing and
developing world. Along with the fast age, there is an increasing ignorance
of self-awareness, human connections and personal well-being.
Here in the paper we will understand what the problem is, in the context of
psychological conditions. What are the causes and consequences of the
current situation of the society? What actually mental well-being and
mindfulness is? Understanding the principles and methods to achieve a state
of well-being. Role of architecture in mental wellness and how it can act as a
solution and therapy along with psychology and act of senses. Studying and
analysing case studies of such spaces will help understand the solutions to
social and self well-being. Concluding factors and sense of designing for

Abstract: Today due to the globalization and the concept of modernism we
have started to lose the architectural character of the city as the buildings
constructed are not just high rise, they are also constructed using the modern
materials which gives them a modern look. Which is now leading to lack of
identity and placelessness in a city. To counter this issue regionalism and
critical regionalism were the two approaches adopted worldwide. The paper
puts forward a comparative analysis between regionalism and critical
regionalism, which will give an idea of what is more acceptable and also
helps to bring back the identity of a region. The paper discusses the elements
which lead to lack of identity and placelessness in a region. The possible
adoption of better option between regionalism and critical regionalism is
mentioned. The paper tries to prove the hypothesis that critical regionalism is
better approach compared to regionalism, as it is a blend of modernism and
regionalism.

To Analyze On-Street Parking Systems With respect To
People’s Perception
Author 1 – NivaOswal
Abstract: The research will be based on on-street parking systems with
existing examples. Now a day‟s traffic and parking is the major constraints
in all the cities. Many a times unauthorized on-street parking results into the
traffic conjunction. To minimize such chaos of traffic, research will be
carried out on on-street parking considering human psychology. It will
include analysis with interviews of people. Insufficient parking facilities and
tendency to park vehicles near to the destination lead to high parking
demand these factors result in reduction of the main carriageway width,
decrease in flow speed and creates congestion in traffic flow, the present
article is an attempt to review covering various consequences of on street
parking, positive and negative effects on road users. The survey will be done
to determine the demand and supply of parking requirements. Some field
survey like in-out survey and questionnaire survey will be conducted to
obtain the data for above mentioned parameters. Focus will mainly on
identify the on-street parking systems and minimize the traffic considering
peoples perspective.

Abstract: The topic outlines the parameters necessary to increase the
usability of outdoor open, semi open and dead open spaces in deaddiction
centre.The focus is to assess the parameters on which the usability of open,
semi open and dead open spaces depends. The research is carried out in
order to study and understand the significance of outdoor open, semi open
and dead open spaces in the deaddiction centre as well as to understand the
pattern of use of the patient in that specific space. Outdoor environment has
important qualities that has positive as well as negative impact on health.So,
it is important to understand the parameters and activity pattern of different
user groups in deaddiction centre in order to understand the usability of
spaces.Usability in architecture is often understood as the functionality or the
space‟s ability to carry out the function for which it has been designed.
Space usability becomes comprehensive to assess how people utilise the
space to meet their needs and on which spatial characters, the usability of
different type of spaces depends including how the usability of dead open
spaces or spaces which are not being used or used less, can be increased.
This study has explored the use of open, semi open and dead open spaces
and the parameters on which the usability of those open, semi open and dead
open spaces depends.by observing, activity mapping and interviewing people
while they are in those spaces.The parameters required for assessment are
developed from the literature review.This research shows that people in
deaddiction centre having a open and semi open space have a greater impact
on people in deaddiction centre.They spend maximum amount of their day
time in outdoor spaces.so the spatial relationship of indoor spaces with open
spaces can have connection to them.It is seen that the semi open spaces are
mostly used, which could be evaluated on different spatial characters.In case
study of Muktangan, Pune, on the basis of observation, the semi open spaces
are mostly used in design because of various parameters which increases the
quality of that space resulting in maximum usability.It is observed that,

Flood and Landslide Resistant Structure: Western Ghats
Author1 – P. S. Lad (lad.pranali01@gmail.com)
SSMS College of Architecture, Pune, Maharashtra, India
Abstract: Natural calamities occur due to rapid changes in environment
such as geophysical, hydrological and climatological etc. calamities such as
flood, landslide, hurricane, cyclones, avalanches, storm, etc are considered as
natural though hidden reasons can be manmade. This research paper focuses
on flood and landslides. Flood and landslide can be classified according to
the duration and location or region.In India, 12% of geographical area is
flood prone and over 12% of total land mass falls under the landslide-prone
zone. Flood and landslides‟ frequency, spatial extent, duration, intensity and
timing of extreme weather condition are influenced with the climate
change.Millions of people get affected and loss their life due to these
calamities. Natural calamity which is the source of largescale destruction can
be invited by the haphazard infrastructural development, increase in the
population and urbanization, decrease in the green pockets and
encroachment in waterbodies. Collapsed structures, buried lives under the
debris, soil erosion, economical destruction etc are some of the major effects
after these calamities. Disaster resistant structure preparation is the need of
current situation to stop the damage. Sustainable development involves safe,
economically feasible, environment-friendly and socially approved growth.
It is required to balance the relationship with environment.Flood and
landslide hazard mitigation is required. The focus of the paper is on the
concept of flood and landslide resistant construction techniques.

Abstract: Biomimicry, the science of emulating nature's strategies, has
remarkably contributed to solving many of human problems in different
fields. This paper discusses the use of various strategies and adaptations that
animal species in arid condition use for better living and survival. Emphasis
is on animal behaviour in arid climate, and then study expands to the living
patterns into five viewpoints which consist of form, material, way of
construction, function and process. Ultimately by expanding the results into
architecture finds new solution to get sustainable architecture. A comparative
study is done to understand which strategy can be used efficiently for natural
cooling. This strategy further can be implemented to reduce energy
consumption by humans used for cooling in desert regions. Analysis of
selected thermal strategy or adaptation, existing in animal species is done. A
hypothesis is built on the conclusion of the comparative and analytical study
of strategies. Bionics and architecture are strongly related and hence bionics
can be used in architecture to make it more sustainable and energy efficient.

Role of Transit Hubs in Social Sustainability of Pune: A
Developing Smart City
Author 1 - PrathameshNazarkar(pmnazarkar@gmail.com)
Fourth year B.Arch.
Marathwada Mitra Mandal‟s College of Architecture, Pune
Abstract : The literature study shows, that among the three facets of
sustainability; environmental, economic and social, the third has always been
the most neglected one by scholars, scientists and policy makers. This paper
draws attention on the relation between transit and social sustainability and
how the dimension of social sustainability again remains disregarded. The
paper argues that, while considering the sustainability aspect of transit, only
macro level transit systems are taken into account while the micro level
transit hubs are also of equal significance. While the literature shows that,
newly emerging policies for smart cities in India are unknowingly endorsing
the usage of private vehicles, this study proposes that these cities shall be
seen as Transit Oriented Developments. A survey was carried out to find,
how people from different age groups, gender and economic class perceive
these transit hubs in terms of safety, accessibility, quality, equity, justice and
inter connectedness. Paper concludes by elaborating the relation between
transit hubs and social sustainability of a city. The paper ends by proposing,
that social sustainability through transit hubs shall also be taken into account
to get a broader idea of sustainability of transit systems itself, which will
definitely help in making transit oriented developments more inclusive.

Abstract: Buildings constructed of different materials, styles and patterns
are referred to by different adjectives in the profession to set them apart and
give each its own identity. These adjectives are understood probably
uniformly by people related to the building industry. However, how they are
interpreted by the common people may differ from person to person. For
instance, a person working in a corporate office might say a glass building
seems transparent or light whereas a tea-stall owner might say it seems
expensive or inaccessible. Mostly, laypersons are the users of such built
environment and the perception of this environment by the users needs to be
analysed to understand how and what a particular building conveys. The
impressions formed about a building in a person‟s mind would also depend
upon his/her upbringing, cultural background, education and exposure. This
study will focus on the productive individuals in Pune and the impressions
that they associate with certain terminologies related to buildings like glass,
stone, brick, colonial, vernacular, modern, and so on. Interviews will be
conducted which would first obtain a background of the individual and then
their impressions about certain descriptions of buildings. The sample will
include men and women across a range of cultural and financial
backgrounds. Different responses can be analysed as which adjective was
most frequently used by which class of people. This would lend an insight
into perception of common people about buildings. This study would be
significant in understanding users‟ impression in a particular context about a
building of specific materials, style, pattern and function.

VIT School of Architecture, Vellore, TN
Abstract : Madras, the first major British settlement in the Indian
subcontinent, witnessed several of the earliest constructions built in different
styles and influences. The influences in terms of architecture, food, clothing,
culture, language, music and lifestyle have had a great impact on the city and
continue to do. The study examines this in parallel and can be understood
through textiles, music, and language. This will look at the applications of
the architectural features that was adopted along the way which gave a new
definition to the city.
The Textile industry proved to be a huge profit for the people, which led to
an exponential increase in trading and business. It was also how the city
became popular and widely known to other countries. Tamil, the language of
the province of Madras, has been a great platform during the times of war
and freedom struggles in terms of bringing unity amongst pre-independent
Madrasis. Likewise, Classical music has always been an identity of Madras
ever since. The famous Madras Checks, lightweight cotton fabric with
typically patterned texture and plaid design, was one of the prime reasons for
Portuguese entry to the city, a fabric that takes its name from the former
name of the city. The study also throws more insights into the architectural
influences in the city at a different time- periods, and traces the footpaths
along with language, music, and textiles, to see how it shaped the city of
Madras. Studying what led to all these urban transformations provides
crucial information to help propagate this study.

D.Y. Patil School of Architecture, Lohegaon, Pune
Abstract : The earliest kind of skylights were the open holes in domed
ceilings known as the Oculi. As domes developed, the Oculi disappeared
replacing the same with glass skylights which would stop the rain from
entering the interiors. These skylights continued through the middle ages and
are still used even in the modern era. In this modern era, sustainable
structures are an important aspect of architecture, making natural ventilation
and natural light the most important factors in a building. The increase of
migrant population to urban areas has led to growing urbanization all over
the world. It is observed that many areas in urban conglomeration ,the
buildings or houses are placed very near to each other due to which natural
light and ventilation have no space to travel through the windows and also
the wall to window ratio is very less. Hence, the other source through which
light can be explored is through the roof. Skylights can be used for daylight
and also as a natural ventilator. These are one of the architectural elements
which are less studied and practiced. This study checks the feasibility of
integrating skylights and natural ventilation to lessen the use of electricity
which would contribute to sustainability. Through the case study method, the
need and feasibility will be given on the basis of combination of daylight and
natural ventilation and also by the comparison matrix between the different
sizes of skylights studied by (Emmanuel Bozonnet in his research paper –
roof design and skylights effects on the energy performance and comfort of
low energy industrial buildings) we can prove the energy efficiency in a
selected room.

Abstract : Hindu temples are seen as a portrayal of social structure of
relevant times in history. They are not only considered as abode of God and
places of worships but are also centre of knowledge, art and culture. The
organizational structure of Hindu temple is an important part of their design.
According to the era the style of temple planning influenced by the climate
and site at which temple is located. The philosophy, beliefs, principles of the
Vedas and religious concerns of the people also affected the planning
process. This paper presents the study of several factors which influence the
planning of Hindu temples. The required data is collected through research
papers, documentaries, reference books and articles related to Hindu temple
architecture in India. The data will further analyse on the basis of factors like
philosophy, era, location, climate and building materials with construction
techniques and compared between two styles of Indian temple architecture
namely Nagara style and Dravidian style. The objective of this paper is to
study the importance of above factors in temple architecture during their
evolutionary process. This study will helpful to give detail description and
analytical comparison based on principles which will govern the planning of
Hindu temples and also to understand the prominent factors that need to be
consider while designing a temple in modern era.

Abstract : Architectural composition is progression from large spaces to
intimate details. Fractal geometry is the formal study of such progression of
self-similar details. It plays an important part in conveying the geometrical
and aesthetical meaning in the art and architecture and serves as framework
to broaden the perspective and understanding of art and architecture.
The case in study for this research is Indian Dravidian temples. Dravidian
style temples originated in the Pallava Dynasty who ruled the present-day
Tamil Nadu. This style of temples tends to be constructed with individual
layers that are usually identical and are stacked above one another. In
Dravidian temple architecture the existence of self-similarity has been
observed and fractal geometry is seen to play an important part in
understanding the structure and composition of these temples. Meenakshi
temple, Mahabalipuram and Brihadeshwara temple is some examples of the
Dravidian temples where fractal geometry is observed. Fractal analysis of
these temples helps understand the deep relation between the two entities.
This research paper aims to study Dravidian temples and the significance of
fractals in the field of architecture. It also corelates and analyzes the
Dravidian temple architecture through fractal geometry with respect to the
fractal sets it is composed of. It aims to understand the benefits of using
fractals and draw inferences based on the comparative analysis. In
conclusion the paper also suggests design solutions to some modern day
problems using fractal geometry to create structures which incorporate
environmental and aesthetical aspects in the design.

Abstract: Architecture is not only about aesthetics but it is more about the
feeling that its users experience. The scale,colour,light, textures, landscapes,
etc are the means through which one can have a dialogue of emotional
perception.The society has categorized people with mental illness separately
making them isolated from the community. These children are often hidden
from the public eye,or sent away to secluded facilities. In order to make
them comfortable and encourage them to socialize and become independent,
there is a need to create spaces which have a feel making them comfortable
and thus heal them. The study tries to relate psychology of patients with
spaces. Building should not just respond to physical needs but also to the
emotional needs and patients with mental illness/specially abled would be
better to understand this. Healing cannot only be through therapies or
medication but can be achieved through spaces too. Schools are a place for
growth and development of an individual. Thus school for kids suffering
from autism can itself become a space to heal their disease. Kids in these
schools are the future youth and are to be treated well and encouraged. The
visual parameters of a space like textures,colours, natural light play an
important role in learning and development of these children. The paper
focuses on the impact of these parameters on the health of kids with autism.

Abstract : Art speaks about the metaphorical meanings or symbolism in
context to the shapes, patterns, ornamentations, designing and
planningimplemented in creating that artwork. This nature of it transforms it
into symbolism.In Hindu religious architecture the shapes, patterns, planning
and ornamentations have certain metaphorical meaning to them. It depicts
the archetypal manifestation of nature and its attributes therefore
contributing in the overall understanding of the artwork and its religious
significance depicted through the means of the construction of the
structure.In the Hindu mythology Mount Meru is believed to be the centre of
the universe it is a representation of the central axis theory of the sacred
Hindu Cosmos which speaks about harmony present in nature can be
represented in man-made structures by the means of this theory. Angkor Wat
Temple located in Cambodia symbolises the peaks of Mount Meru all of its
original religious motifs are derived from the Hindu Cosmos and Hinduism.
This research paper speaks about the study and interpretation of the
symbolism of ancient Hindu Cosmos of Mount Meru and its representation
in the architecture of the Angkor Wat Temple. It also aims to study the
significance of the Angkor wat Temple and the relation between the temple
and Mount Meru. The paper aims to draw a comparison between the
symbolism of the two with the interlays in the historical and cultural time
periods and also understand why it is necessary to do so, to scrutinize and
draw inference of the existing data on the topic.

Sinhgad College of Architecture, Pune
Fourth Year B.Arch
Abstract : Population density is constantly increasing world-wide and India
being projected as one of the world‟s most populous countries brings out the
major issue of shortage of land for future generations. Therefore, there is a
need for us to go for more verticality in structures for providing necessary
spaces in limited land areas. Skyscrapers are now an indispensable resource
and with it comes its design. The design of a building or a built form always
governs a few parameters, both for aesthetics and the structure.
For a skyscraper, the function of Wind, is a crucial factor to be considered as
we are moving up in the atmosphere with greater wind pressures. Wind
characteristics change with every region and every season, according to the
topography, physiology, geography etc. Every built form acts or reacts to
these characteristics in its own unique fashion. A built form is the result of
the plan, the façade and the openings on the façade. A sphere will react to the
wind like no cube will, a cube will act in a manner a pyramid never will.
Every solid mass (building) either acts as a barrier, or facilitates the air
movement in the required direction as per the form. Wind has been the most
important aspect that needs attention while making new age structures of
mega million projects reaching sky. The paper discusses various ways how
wind and Architecture can together accommodate through proper design
approach. It provides statistical data on wind characteristics at varying
heights for different shapes and forms of buildings in Mumbai region and
also discusses what design approaches, used in skyscrapers across the world,
can be similar or dissimilar to those in Indian context. Computational fluid
dynamics shows wind flow behaviour for different geometrical configuration
to draw attributes of the best form or shape.

Abstract: The bazaar is a place for exchange of economic and socio-
cultural activities; since it will attract a large number of people a dedicated
physical space is necessary to accommodate the mass. Thus, a bazaar on a
street is an amalgamation of various activities that includes selling, buying,
eating all with variations in their spatial attributes and functions making it a
lively place, thus defining it with a certain spatial organization. Placemaking
is an approach where a space is converted into place, when an activity is
dedicated to that place .Thus , a street becomes a bazaar when activities like
selling, buying etc. takes place on the street and that‟s how a place is evolved
.Existence of local bazaars in India ,dates back to the Colonial period and
have been flourishing since then with changing character and function over
time. This research aims to study the place making of bazaar on street
through spatial attributes in architecture. Hence, objectives include studying
the evolution of bazaar for which secondary data like research papers,
articles, books etc. are referred and secondly, to study spatial attributes like
selling items ,location of building, types of people and purpose of their visit
to bazaar, change in spatial patterns ;during different seasons, types of
display and different varieties of display, any specific advertising done or
aesthetics added .Primary data collection is done via physical mapping and
activity mapping through various layers. Expected outcome of this study of
spatial attributes through placemaking would give an insight into the reasons
of why a bazaar on street is a major place of amalgamation of activities and
how spatial attributes and spatial organization influence its placemaking.

Role of Architectural Character in a Foot Over Bridge in
Pune Region
Author 1 – Dhanshree Berlekar
Abstract : The increasing pedestrian traffic on road crossings, junctions and
inaccessible road terminals in the cities of our country and reluctant
behaviour by pedestrians to use foot over bridge is one of the important
causes of road accidents. They cross the road in front of moving vehicles and
consequently fall victims of fatal accidents because of which the importance
of designing the footbridges more effectively is necessary. The structure will
provide easy access to the bus terminus, markets etc. A good durable and
sustainable footbridge can play an important role for the social and economic
development of the nation. For example, Vishrantwadi Chowk, Pune is a
complex mesh of streets and vehicles. Roads from Alandi, Pune Airport and
Dhanori meet at this square, making it one of the most congested and
perilous junctions in the city. Following a foot overbridge was proposed by
PMC in 2011, for the safety of the pedestrians. Although the work of the
bridge was completed in March 2014, it was opened for public a month later.
But due to various political and functional reasons the bridge is not being
successfully used by the pedestrian. To overcome such design failures it is
important to study and analysis the design of foot overbridges.
Footbridges supplement the scene and can be utilized beautifully to
outwardly connect two particular zones or to flag an exchange. In numerous
nations, footbridges along with its function act as masterpieces and figure.
The need of the study is to determine the combined strength and efficiency
of the foot over bridge. The purpose of this study is to explore the materials
and used in the foot over bridges and its role to play. Also their evolution
from past to now.
The research aims to observe and compare different materials used for
building footbridges in Pune region which are successful in both being
accessible and aesthetically appealing. Footbridges are a significant part of
the transport system. Footbridges if designed efficiently can be effective in
the transit system, and makes a mark in the urban design of the city.
Footbridges have categories such as Girder bridges, Arch bridges, Cable-
Stayed bridges, Suspension bridges and to study these categories is one of
the aim of this paper.

Abstract : Water is one of the crucial determinant and formative element in
all aspects of life. Humans, as they cannotsurvive without water, have
always inhabited the places that are close to easily accessible water sources
and havechosen, designed the settlement accordingly. Together with other
geological and natural factors, water factor is the
most effective on determining itineraries, forming paths and the roads that
connect our habitats.
The demand for water is rapidly increasing, but the uses to which that water
is put and the ecological values societyplaces on the water are changing
dramatically. Water is the source of life, the sustenance for living, the
resourceneeded for fishing, agriculture, manufacturing, the element required
to generate economics, and it provides thehabitat for much of our wildlife.
India is a country with a wealth of wetland ecosystems supporting varied and
unique habitats. Wetlandsprovide abundant ecological products and services
but, are under tremendous pressure due to rapid
industrialization,urbanization, agricultural intensification, and declining
hydrological, economic and ecological performance.
A close examination of the precious Wetland ecosystem reveals a

to balance the intervention. The wetland ecosystem is the source of life,the
sustenance for living for communities around. Ujani Wetland at Bhigwan
generate economics and is zonesupporting various ecological, traditional,
religious, commercial, recreational, transportation, community-
basedactivities. However, evidence on the ground such as land degradation,
water pollution, encroachment, and otherhuman - nature conflicts show
clearly that continuous unplanned utilization of the wetlands' resources is a
great andpresent threat to the existence of the most fragile ecosystem. If
wetlands and ecological habitats are to be conserved,the dependently arising
communities need to be conserved. This paper will help us understand the
parameters ofapproaching the wetlands as a sustainable ecology.

Abstract : We live in a society where care for young and old is increasingly
segregated, with very limited opportunity for two age groups to interact. For
older adults, the interaction is expected to compensate for age-related deficits
e.g., cognitive performance, cognitive-affective complexity. In case of the
young ones, an optimization of development is expected e.g., social
behavior, communion goals. Social interaction and the availability of
meaningful activities promote the physical and psychological well-being of
children and older adults. The development of social interaction is closely
related to physical and social environments that complement the therapeutic
needs of elderly people and the developmental needs of young children. In
today‟s aging societies, elderly people often have difficulties to find people
to communicate with. To address this loneliness of the elderly, it has been
suggested to create more opportunities for children and elderly people to
engage in various shared activities together. The research investigates that
social activities can facilitate communication between the generations by
creating a mutually enjoyable environment where elderly people and
children can interact with each other. A longitudinal approach is used to
investigate whether intergenerational communication actually is enhanced by
utilizing social activities as the medium. The aim of the research is to build a
common interaction space that connects social activities, intergenerational
perceptions and communication, and ultimately contribute to improving the
well-being and relieving the loneliness experienced by many elderly people
and children in a combined orphanage and old age home.
OBJECTIVE
Understand the relationship between the two groups among the vocabulary
to translate into architectural spaces.

Abstract: The research focuses on the importance of the experience of
space in a museum or an information centre.Over the past few years, the
museums have evolved from being predominantly cultural depositories to
playing an important social role. Accompanying this development has
increased the emphasis on the visitor experience. The public which the
museum was catering to earlier was very specific, but now with the changing
times, a variety of groups needs to be looked upon. The current scenario
showcases a picture of museum which focuses mostly on fantasizing
exteriors. Thus there is a need to look upon the experience factor which will
ultimately help to create a drama, indirectly motivate more people to visit a
museum/information centre and increase social interaction. Keeping this as
the motive, the paper will focus on how the following factors enhance the
experience: Spatial factors (Sequence of spaces, Connectivity, Varying
scales of spaces within a museum, Character of a space [semi-open, open,
closed] , the result of series of these spaces), Site surroundings Physical
Environment. The attempt to analyse these factors will be made by
conducting case studies to museums/information centre in Pune and Nashik
city. The study is limited only to the spatial aspects of the space. The
Proposed Outcome is to establish a link between Spatial Organization and
Visitor Experience to museum/information centre and thus propose a method
to inculcate these factors in designing the space.

VIT‟s PVP collage of architecture, Pune
Abstract : Municipal Water Towers are always looked at as a service
building provided by the local corporation. Recently refined bylaws have
changed an environment and image of water towers in a city. Most of the
towers have their defined space bounded by compound walls unlike in
earlier time where there was the most possible scenario of the encroachment
of nearby slums or markets. But this policy is well executed in newer or
expanded part of the city, whereas in old or core part of the city it creates a
different picture. To explain this research focused on the Old Kalyan as a
case study which is always under struggle of finding an open space; and add
on to this situation, population and building growth demands for need base
infrastructure and other basic requirements like water supply etc. To fulfil
these demands there was a loss of some public open space for newer service
buildings like water towers. There are many factors involved in policy
design of such service buildings like Water Towers and safety precautions
plays a major role in this, but in cities like Kalyan, it creates a question like
Public Open Space or Service Buildings? This research will focus on such
questions by studying a core part of Kalyan city and water towers which
were constructed for a cost of the public park. It also emphasizes how its
existence and space below is affecting the vibrancy of that area.
Research‟s objective is to question the brutal mono-functional service
infrastructure of water conservation and explore the scope of sensible
standardisation in today‟s era of environmental crisis and decade long
problem of open & healthy environment in the suburbs.

Abstract: Ecotel is a new concept in hospitality that claims to work for
environmental protection. Its an environmental friendly hotel . Due to
enormous increase in tourism in India, hotels have gained a lot of
importance. The purpose of learning about ecotel is because of increasing
environmental damage due to hotel industry being a concern. Ecotel is an
hotel that has made lot of improvements to its structure in order to minimise
its impact on the environment.This new concept of ecotel is an idea which
fulfills the criteria of ecological sustainability mainly based on the following
factors-energy conservation, environmental commitment, water and solid
waste management. „Heritage building‟ means a building possessing
architectural, aesthetic, historic or cultural values and which is declared a
heritage structure by heritage planning committee. Most buildings listed
under heritage are capable of beneficial use, weather for their original
purpose or some other use. Many of the Heritage buildings are neglected
once they are added to heritage list. Heritage conservation doesn‟t mean
freezing a building in time, creating a museum or restricting use the building.
Instead, it seeks to maintain and increase the value of the building by
keeping their original built form and architectural elements and favouring
restoration and reuse of the existing structure. Adaptive reuse of these
heritage buildings is a better option which can be called as a conservation in
itself than adding them to heritage list. The purpose of this research is to
study the concept of ecotel and to identify factors of adaptability of existing
structure for its reuse as an ecotel. This research will determine ways and
means of adaptive reuse of heritage building as an ecotel bringing two
concerns of environmental protection and conservation of structures to a
single solution.

Abstract: Architecture on hills seems to be beautiful, but acts as a challenge
for an architect and structural engineers. With increasing population and
construction demands, construction in hilly regions, on sloping sites have
taken place. Building on sloping sites of hilly regions offers advantages like
scenic views and cool breeze, however, it also requires proper site planning
and design consideration to minimize the environmental, visual and amenity
impact on adjacent neighbouring properties. Hilly regions have wide
variations in topography, geology, altitude, geomorphology, material
resources and climate. Unpredictable geological conditions, climatic
changes, hydrogeological conditions results in different hazards like
landslides and mud flows making construction conditions
unfavourable.Various factors are to be considered and acted on before
starting any construction on a sloping site. These include check for landslide-
prone areas, slope, existing subsurface water; detailed study of geological
maps, study of previous landslides in that area, boreholes and geophysical
survey. Also, proper and effective use of the contours should be taken into
consideration to reduce the overall cost.Construction techniques play an
important role in helping the structure withstand various climatic variations
and natural hazards like landslides. Vernacular architecture including
construction technique developed with locally available material like timber,
bamboo, mud, stone, etc. have good climatic resistance. Contemporary
construction techniques include use of green building materials like steel
framed construction, cement wood boards, aerated concrete panels, gypsum
plasterboards, etc. This research paper tries to deal with all these aspects and
focuses on the construction techniques which will help sustain the structure.

Abstract : Building Performance Evaluation is the process of evaluating the
performance of the building post construction and post occupancy. This
helps in reducing the uncertainties and improve the building‟s performance.
Various nations carry out these Building Performance Evaluations (BPE)
based on their cultural, institutional and other parameters. There are
internationally approved parameters and methods for carrying out BPE. In
Pune city, where user‟s lifestyle and demands are constantly changing
(modernization) and also housing demand is more due (urbanization),
carrying out BPE is important. Studied literature shows that no Such
Housing performance evaluation has been carried out yet. Lack of
knowledge amongst the architects about user‟s lifestyle have led to such
scenario in the developing city. User‟s satisfaction is one of the most
important parameters, since this is what will help people buy apartment, as it
is one of the biggest investments of one‟s life. This research analyzes the
impact of building performance on quality of user‟s life in Housing society
in Pune. Yashashree building located on KatrajKondhwa road, was analyzed
for the Building Performance Evaluation. Out of 480 residents, 25% or
residents, i.e., about 130 residents were interviewed. Basic predominant
attributes of analyzing the housing has been accessibility, safety & security,
visual comfort (illumination & finishes), thermal comfort (indoor air),
services etc. Interview method was adopted to conduct the survey in the
housing society. Synthesis has been further carried out with respect to the
responses of the users. This research paper would further become a
framework for architects, especially in Pune, what factors must be
considered while designing Housings in Pune. Further the attributed
described may become part of city‟s policies or design guidelines for
architects.

Abstract : Most commonly used teaching practice today includes
blackboard-centred learning bound within the four walls leading to restricted
learning, resulting in increasing pressure of results, targets and constantly
moving goalposts in the budding students. Outdoor learning can be one of
the approaches to make learning effortless and free the students from the
routine pressure.Gurukul system setting an exceptional example for the
same, where the interaction of guru and pupil happened amidst of nature.
The gurukul system of education was dedicated to the highest ideals of 'all-
round human development', mainly practical, intellectual and spiritual
leading to self-realization. The research is aimed towards studying the
potentiality of outdoor learning as a solution to ameliorate educational
outcome, leading students for active participation in the learning process.
The purpose of this study is to understand determinants of outdoor space
facilitating improved learning experience. There are various factors
governing outdoor learning. Focal factors being climatic factors and physical
comfort which can be tackled by design interventions. This study also tries
to explore typology of outdoor learning spaces for example - courtyards, tree
houses, gazebos etc. For the purpose of the study outdoor spaces can be
defined as covered and semi-covered classrooms. The study is carried out by
means of amalgamation of books with literature review and case studies of
schools around Pune practicing open learning. Today everybody has limited
themselves to the four walls surrounding them. Outdoor learning can address
this issue and help in self-esteem boosting, finding calmness, focus, boosting
the sense of community. Thus, reimagining school planning that would cover
alternative approach to learn outside. The research aims to provide set of
guidelines that can be implemented for an apt type of space for effortless
learning and applying learning in real life and making it more efficient and
memorable.

Abstract : This study investigates the role of non-classroom spaces of
school buildings where informal interactions among students take place in
the example ofprivateschools in Pune and Kerala. A set of questionnaires
were given to 30 respondents, studying in 6th
,7th
and 8th
standards, during a
pilot study conducted in December 2019 and January 2020. The
questionnaire contained 15 items of various school ground elements, which
the children need to score their preferences. The non-classroom spaces that
studentsprefer during their free times are important in the way they facilitate
peer interactionswhich may contribute to informal learning processes.
Multiple case study method is used.Theresearch indicated that regardless of
differences among schools, students want tointeract with their friends during
breaks. Students prefer to spend their free time atplaces that facilitate these
interactions. Results indicated that children prefer man-made elements over
natural elements in their school. However, the result also showed that
children desired for the natural elements for their school ground. This study
provides a brief list of activities andplaces that students prefer during their
free time. There is evidence suggesting thatplaces where students prefer to
spend time differ from one school to another in terms ofindoors and
outdoors. The research indicates that students involve in similar
activitieswith different frequencies in schools studied and in case when
students are given achoice between indoor and outdoor spaces with different
degree of variety,they areconscious of the difference and they tend to pick
spaces which offer higher variety. This research has shown that children‟s
perception of the space around them is related to the quality of their play
behaviours. Each study is summarised and suggestions for designing
classroom spaces are included.

Abstract: Multisensory design is involving more than one senses for design
strategies. It is introduced as a method that humans can experience in their
surrounding in numerous ways. Thus, by integrating it we can produce more
efficient spaces. Office building is mostly designed by visual appreciation or
keeping the function in mind, however we interact with the built
environment using our entire body and its senses. Main purpose of an office
is to support its occupants in performing their tasks. IT office is one of the
pressure subjected area, working in such area has given rise to distractions,
boredom and medical issues which is affecting the working of employees
directly. Working efficiency of a person is affected by various factors, one of
which is multisensory environment. Further in that, the research paper is
focused on elements like audio and visual environment with quality of air in
consideration. Its objectives are to understand the correlation between human
senses and surrounding in office context and thus provide some architectural
solutions for the issue. Human senses are controlled by the surrounding we
are in, it is proved that if people‟s senses are stress-free they will work more
efficientlyand thus give better performance.
The study aims on how to increase the working efficiency by integrating
multisensory design strategies in an IT office building. The method includes
case study and survey of a typical IT office building which derives the
opportunity to analyze the issues and improve them and help in increasing
employees performance through application of optimized Ergonomics and
Multisensory design strategies in interiors.

Abstract : In order for one to communicate, a formal or otherwise linguistic
system is adapted. The language can be understood only when the sender
and receiver share a common system of symbols and signs. Similarly,
Architectural language, which has its basis in visual communication, has
semantics and semiotics that have the ability to convey meaning through
spaces. Every building has a physical form and a character which is implicit
or explicit visual language that is perceived by each viewer individually.
Linguistic properties of Architecture can be understood in a metaphorical
way that is used in spatial realm and perceived by humans.
Through Architect Charles Correa‟s work, it is noted that while working
along the Indian context, his ideology was being shaped due to Socio-
Cultural-Economic context as well as the climate of Indian sub-continent.
These aspects together formed an Architectural vocabulary which was very
specific to Indian context. This research paper attempts to explore and
understand the mediums used by Architect Charles Correa to convey
meaning in Indian Architecture. The research through visual analysis of
Primary Case Studies of Bharat Bhavan- Bhopal, Jawahar Kala Kendra-
Jaipur and IUCAA- Pune concludes the study of Architectural linguistic
pattern in comprehension of a form to extract implicit and explicit meanings.

Abstract: India is undergoing rapid urbanization and growth which has
resulted in a dense and congested urban fabric. This speedy and uncontrolled
growth has given rise to long hours of travel between origin and destination,
urban sprawl, rising levels of pollution and wastage of productive time
resulting in increased levels of stress. This research talks about three major
approaches when it comes to development and growth of a city – (i)
Horizontal development – Causes longer travel times and traffic chaos (ii)
Vertical development – Causes surge in land prices and stresses the
infrastructure and (iii) Development of Satellite Cities – Establishment of a
new city in close proximity of a parent city which has an independent
governing body. In the past several decades, satellite cities have played a
major role in decongesting metropolitan areas. There are growing appeals for
development of these new satellite towns which are away from the urban
chaos but within close proximity of the parent city. Today, satellite cities are
easily envisioned but most of them fail at solving the problems, rather add to
them or create new ones by increasing intra city travel and interdependency
between the towns. Case study method has been adopted to study the inter
relation between a satellite town and a parent city in Indian context.
Likewise; Pune, Ahmedabad, Hubbali and their satellite towns are
researched on the parameters like transit, environmental impact,
inclusiveness and quality of life. The research focuses on developing a
matrix to serve as a guide for emerging satellite towns. The satellite towns
developed in future should be based on proper guidelines to resolve the
problems faced by Parent city. These satellite towns should act as newer
magnets to decentralize the parent town. This research will set a base for
urban planners to design and envision sustainable cities which support
excellent quality of life.

Abstract: Nature has been an inspiration and influence of many design
theories. Nature-inspired designs by architects anddesigners have a long
tradition. It is important to study nature to decipher the holistic relationship
between human,buildings and nature. Following nature‟s trail by
understanding the patterns, strategies & principles is necessaryto create man-
made system, structures and forms for better functioning and efficiency.
Nature-inspired designs orBiomimicry have several levels. These levels
include visual, abstracted, conceptual or computational designs. Themain
objective of this research is to understand the levels of Biomimicry. The
understanding is achieved by casestudymethod of different levels and
typologies. This is an observational type of research, where the
methodologyused follows qualitative analysis of selected case studies. The
case studies are based on, Simulation that is thevisual level of mimicking
that involves literal translation or abstraction of building forms from nature.
In thisresearch paper, Lotus temple, Delhi and Guggenheim Museum, New
York are studied in detail for understanding
of simulation. Further cases depend on Interpretation that is the conceptual
level of mimicking involving theunderstanding of the principles of nature i.e.
geometry, structure and its functioning. The outcome of this studyenhances
the level of understanding of biomimicry. This could further be used to
propose certain parameters for
future designing of nature-inspired buildings.

Abstract: Human-animal interaction defines the experience of human
existence. Humans in India always had a strong history with animals. Earlier,
a lot of people used to pet cows, sheep, goat, elephant and lots of others in
their homes. Relation between humans and animals have evolved today,
where animals reside within the four compounds. One of the primary reasons
for this variation between human-animal relation is cities turning into
megacities, which is resulting into lack of open spaces for any human-animal
interaction. Dogs are highly adaptable and friendly, also they are the most
widespread and abundant companions, occurring in most places where there
are human population. Today, there has been a significant rise in number of
companion dogs living in urban areas. Dog parks presents an emerging class
in urban context as environmental amenities. Hence, there has been a
growing interest in improving how and where dogs can inhabit city spaces.
There is lack of public space for companion animals in the urban setting. A
lot of research has been conducted in western part of the world for same.
One of the reasons of this interest has been the lack of study regarding public
spaces for companion animals in India. The paper includes perception of
people in Pune regarding open public spaces for these companion animals.
People‟s behavior and perception towards pet and off-leash area is analyzed
using random sampling interview method and case studies are conducted to
understand the functioning of the dog parks which in turn set the parameters
for designing the pet friendly open public spaces. Research further concludes
with strategies proposed for efficient functioning of pet-friendly open public
spaces.

Abstract: Nowadays sports being a very important aspect of our lives,
physical activity creates a new level of impact on every individual. The level
of physical activity in today's lifestyle is constantly reducing. This makes
amenities like sport facilities and playgrounds much of a necessity in the
current urban setting. These facilities are a necessity in today's fast paced
lifestyle, as they directly affect the physical and mental health of the citizens.
This research aims on exploring factors considered while facilities for the
society and also its importance taking Hadapsar area as in consideration.
Today Hadapsar area doesn't have any sports facilities or such playgrounds
which brings people at one platform for physical and mental growth of
society. It‟s important and beneficial to have sports facilities in Hadapsar
area because it has various types of people working in IT parks and more
importantly youth generation at ramtekdi region will be more approachable
towards this facility. Present condition of Hadapsar tells that many of the
areas have some playgrounds but inaccessible for all. Hence, sports facilities
which are better strategically planned, making them more accessible without
any rules and regulations and eliminating the need for dedicated spaces for
sports in every gated community. This will in turn set an approach towards a
healthier society. Every area should have sports facilities and playgrounds
for the benefits of society excluding the gated community system. Having
these sports facilities will promote the cities development and also it adds the
value to individuals.

Abstract: Urban green spaces are one of the most significant part of any
urban ecosystem. However, it is ironic that these spaces are undergoing
degradation due to rapid urbanization. Urban green areas provide physical
activity and relaxation, and form a refuge from noise and also safe play
space for children. Trees produce oxygen, and help filter out harmful air
pollution. Urban green space also provides safe routes for walking and
cycling for transport purposes as well as sites for physical activity, social
interaction and for recreation. Hence, built form of the city and green cover
changes monitoring becomes very important in conserving green spaces in
cities. The research deals with the changes in urban land use or land cover
changes on the basis of collected maps and analysing it. The main area to be
focused is core city of pune and understanding the changing pattern of green
covers in that area and documenting land use patterns. Photographic
documentation and studying maps of core city of pune is done. Research
concludes that there is a significant loss in urban green open spaces in the
core city of pune. As urban green spaces are inevitable to us; this research
will set a base for further researchers who want to study the effects of
urbanization on the public green spaces.

Abstract: Pune being an IT hub as well as educational city lot of people
migrate here for different reasons. After they step there, their first need is a
place to live. Hence housing has become a need for today‟s construction
practice. Housing satisfaction of user is therefore necessary. There are two
major criteria‟s for looking towards satisfaction in housing one being the
indoor and second external. A gap was observed that most of them speak on
indoor but the outdoor variables are somewhere left out for understanding
user satisfaction. Satisfaction not only comes from the internal space you
reside in but also the surroundings and nearby variables that affect the space
you are living in. The purpose of this research paper is to understand the
outdoor factors affecting the user satisfaction and strategies for housing
design for changing lifestyle of people. The site of study is Hyde park
housing society in Market yard, Pune. The research has been carried by
proposing questions and having discussions with the residents of the housing
society. Interview method has been adopted for getting on to conclusions of
the research and those are justified with the help of statistical findings.
Visual investigations are done through photographic documentation. The
outcome of the research will speak on how the outdoor variables has its
impact and can enhance on the user satisfaction in housing. With this
research housing developers and designers can know the ground reality
experience and take adequate design decisions ahead to maximize the
satisfaction of the user.

Abstract: Urban open spaces define the historical character of the city.
Indian streets are the cultural products of its setting. People interacting in a
public space is an important dimension of the public space. They retain their
functional character yet providing a psychological meaning to people‟s lives.
The memory that people make with a space leaves a lasting impression in
their minds, advancing from the past to the present. The image of a place
related to the associated memories of the people with the place has not been
studied yet. Hence, memory associated with a space highlights the
psychological significance of the place. Such places become the focal points
of cultural spirit, increasing social interaction. The streets around the
Mahatma Phule Mandai, which was once the tallest building in Pune
highlights the city‟s social and political development. It is the biggest
vegetable market in Pune, showcasing generations of traders and vendors
and reflecting their association with the space. The research methodology of
this paper involves reviewing the historical development of the Mandai,
cognitive mapping and interviewing experts as well as the users ofMandai.
The results demonstrate the association that people make with the spaces by
understanding the intangibles related to open public spaces. The image
reflects the psychological inheritance of the people relative to the place. The
image of public open spaces in present day‟s urban development derives
how people look and feel in a space.Analysing what impacts such spaces
will help in creating healthier and more viable public spaces, hence
increasing happiness index among the people.

Abstract: Open spaces in a Residential Neighborhood provide scope of
social interaction, an opportunity to engage with the society and a gateway
from the daily routine. These areas cater to various types of activities such as
social gathering, relaxing, leisure activities, markets etc. also, the mentioned
activities happen in various types of open areas, markets on street edges,
gatherings at community open grounds, leisure activities at public parks and
gardens. Hence open spaces can be termed as formal and informal in terms
of their character and activities taking place. They range from informal street
edges to dedicated public gardens, considering a residential neighborhood,
the user groups remain similar at all the spaces but the activities differ.
Therefore, identification of the status of such spaces becomes critical for a
cohesive design. These spaces contribute in enhancing the character,
environment and making the neighborhood desirable and livable. Focus of
the research is to analyze physical factors affecting the quality of these areas
in terms of its user response their social behavior. Methodology followed
was case studies, interviews and activities. Cases chosen are in the
residential neighborhood of Wanworie - a street, an open ground and a
public park. These case studies have been analyzed on physical parameters
such as furniture, lighting, and vegetation. The research concludes by
analyzing the character of the selected cases based on the parameters. User
responses to all the cases have been different with respect to its location,
nature and various hours of the day. The research suggests need of sensitive
and conscious design approach towards various types of open spaces be it
underused or abused spaces or densely crowded zones.

The City and the Last Craftsman

“If you walk on the streets
Of the City so old
Take a left, onto a forsaken lane
You‟ll find the City in the hands,
Of a very, very old man
A City you may never find again.”
India is a land with a rich culture, that is an amalgam of various cultures,
with their own elements and art forms. Crafts of various kinds have always
been integral in the shaping of India‟s identity. Thesecrafts have survived
generations and change of powers, ever evolving,
ever adapting. Until Today. Industrialization and globalization have taken
their toll on these crafts and they have been reduced to mere trinkets,
aesthetics in the name of Identity. Plastered on facades, but slowly dying.
The tug of war between west influenced aspirations and an
attempt to conserve Identity, has resulted in a phenomenon called aesthetic
poverty or romanticism of ruins, and the Craftsmen are paying the cost of
heritage. Tambat Ali in Pune, is a prime example of this phenomenon. For a
City that has had the Tambats(brassmiths), the Kumbhars (potters) and the
Buruds (bamboo workers) amongst others
literally build the City, the diminishing of these Crafts raises a serious
concern about the direction it is taking. While Kumbharwada has already
been pushed out of the core City, Tambat Ali is still struggling. The study
aims to understand the Crafts through the lens of the City and
answer fundamental questions about their relevance and importance in the
urban scheme. The world is moving on, turning into one humungous fabric,
devoid of originality and Identity. Gone are the days, when the brass smith
used to hammer away at the little pot, breaking the monotony
of the City with a little music. What happens, when the Crafts fade into non-
existence? What happens, when the last Craftsman dies?

Abstract: Women safety has always been an issue of concern throughout
time in India. However, the crime rate has grown tremendously over the past
few years. Unfortunately, India is currently the global leader in crime against
women. From 2000-2012, the crime against women has gone up by 200%.
With ever growing urbanisation in current cities, women safety becomes an
important aspect of urban life. The research focuses on making urban streets
safer for commute of women by not providing opportunities for a possible
sexual crime. These opportunities are created due to factors like dark dingy
streets, no eyes on street and long stretches of roads with no activity/activity
generating facilities on them. Even though a lot of research has been done on
women safety, no research states parameters of urban street design that have
an impact on the issue in Pune‟s context. The aim of this research is to
identify parameters for street design that impact the safety of women on
streets of Pune. The research has been done on the basis of the data collected
through observation and surveys on a comparative study of 3 streets
emerging from Bremen chouk.i.e. Spicer CLG Road, Aundh Road, New DP
Road in Aundh area of Pune. These case studies are analysed on the basis of
5 factors that are light, distance, activity, traffic and functional zoning. The
research sets parameters of consideration for future street design to make the
city a safer space for all its citizens.

Abstract: The vision of a good urban city is to design spaces livable for
everyone. Every individual deserves to enjoy each space within the city. In
India, 39% of the total population are children below 18 years. Planning of a
city from the vantage point of a toddler is the best way to start. A child
friendly city will include child friendly parks, streets, roads, and other public
spaces. Children need to have easy access to local places away from home,
where they can meet, interact and play with their friends. Parks and open
spaces provide opportunities for children to learn about nature, each other
and the world they live in. Parks are important spaces where children can
explore, be active, relax, socialize, play and learn, which would eventually
contribute to their development. This research paper focuses on child-
friendly parks and how does these spaces contribute in early childhood
development which includes physical, mental and social development.
Earlier literature studied about dedicated open spaces for children inside the
parks. This research would aim to study the parks holistically and how to
make the entire park child-friendly. The focused age group is 3 – 10 years.
The methodology followed is live case study along with activity mapping
and photographic documentation. The selected case studies are
ChittaranjanVatika- Shivajinagar, BhimaleUdhyan- Gultekdi and
AnusayaSabdaLonkar Garden-Kondhwa. Each case study has been studied
on the parameters like furniture, light, color, texture on the basis of safety,
accessibility, anthropometry, inclusiveness, and playfulness. The research
concludes that child friendly green spaces has positive impact on a child‟s
development. The inferences from the research would help in designing
child-friendly cities in future which will support healthier, safer and more
exciting urban neighborhoods for young children, for those who care for
them, and for everyone.

Use of Glass Façades in Office Buildings
Author 1 –Mansi Shukla
Abstract: The paper deals with the enveloped design of office buildings
focusing on glass facades. Presently glass facades in office buildings are in
trend which enhances the aesthetic image of buildings and also ensures the
timely completion of the project result into the economic gain as well. In
other side use of glass facades in specific climatic conditions can be a
concern towards the environment. To make any building workable it always
preferable to worked out all the stages of buildings with user group at every
stage. In all the stages operation and maintenance stage plays a major role
considering life cycle of building. Hence, paper majorly focusing on
operation and maintenance stage which includes study of 4 live case studies
in Pune city (IT companies) which has a moderate climate conditions.
Criteria of study will finalise on concerning aspects such as end users and
environment based on its orientation, site surroundings, glass as material,
internal adjacent space utilization, light and ventilation, reviews of end user
etc. It will focus on deriving the inferences and find the conclusions which
help to use the glass facades in office buildings efficiently.

Abstract: Facades are the exposed outer walls whose primary purpose is the
protection of the building from any external harm. Apart from providing
protection, they are also used as an aesthetical feature which helps in easy
identification of the structure. The facades have a second layer known as
second skin / cladding. The objective of the paper are to study what are
facades, its types and also the materials used as the second skin with
advantages and disadvantages of the same. In India, the facades of the
institutional buildings are usually painted, left exposed or cladded with
appropriate materials to give it an aesthetical appearance. The cladding/
second skin is becoming a new trend even for the façade treatment for the
institutional building due to the development of building technology in
recent times.. The second skin/ cladding is the covering of one over other.
According to the need, the façades can be formed into distinct shapes, sizes
along with various materials. The research focuses on the second skin of the
façade and also aims to understand how the second skin is being used in
institutional buildings. The paper also studies the second skin with respect to
comparison of air flow, visibility and light penetration of different materials
and analyzes the same by comparing various institutional buildings. The
following study concludes with a better understanding of the effect achieved
by providing second skin to institutional buildings based on the above
mentioned parameters.

Ephemeral Architecture as an Urban Catalyst
Author 1: Gupte Madhura (mmg0897@gmail.com)
Author 2: Ar. Shetty Prerna (shettyprerna.pvpcoa@gmail.com)
Abstract : Architecture has always been associated with the qualities of
permanence and timelessness. The research investigates the notions of
temporality and permanence in relation to the built environment. First, an
attempt is made to understand what actually remains permanent in
architecture, is it the image of the building, and not the actual structure as it
constantly changing, deteriorating, and undergoing metamorphosis with
time. An attempt is also made to understand the relation of time and space
with the built environment. Later, the notions of temporality are explored by
means of ephemeral architecture. Temporary architecture is an alternative
urban planning concept which has been adapted in many cities worldwide
during the last decade. There is however no common definition for
temporary architecture and it is diversely labeled and applied. The aim of the
study is to identify the relevance of temporary architecture in Pune and
explore how it can be implemented in practice in terms of potential strategies
and areas to activate certain remnant spaces.

Author 2: Ar. Vijaya Srinivasan (jivirs@gmail.com)
Abstract : The world has witnessed a tremendous increase of industries post
World War I. This has given rise to a newer 21st century phenomenon of
Industrial waste. Waste is nothing but matter at the wrong place. Handling
industrial waste involves a large amount of space, time and labour. All of
them being available at the Gulf of Kambhat in India. The post-
Independence era and after the economic liberalization of 1991, India has
nurtured and nourished some notable businesses and industries. Till the
beginning of 1980s, ship-breaking was mainly concentrated in Mumbai,
Kolkata and Cochin. Gujarat has natural advantage of the longest coastal
lines of about 1600 Km. and port facilities for international trade at
Jamnagar, Porbandar and Kandla. Having foreseen the potential,
Government of India planned the development of new locations at Gujarat,
Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Karnataka. In Gujarat, Alang was identified as
the most suitable site for ship-breaking activity. These favourable
geographical conditions made Alang, Gujarat, India the world‟s largest
dump yard of Industrial waste. Alang is a home to some large and old ships
which are on their deathbeds. To suffice these industrial needs almost 50,000
workers are estimated to be working and living in the Shantytowns of Alang
under unfavourable and foul conditions. This paper emphasizes on not only
the tangible but also the intangible aspects, of the effect, that this industry
has on the built and unbolt of Alang. The built consisting of the living,
working and commercial spaces and the intangible unbuilt being psychology,
health and safety of the humans of Alang,

Abstract : It is very important to prepare the students for future success.
This means preparing them to be creative thinkers capable of solving
problems that do not yet exist. In order to teach children to be more creative
teachers as well designers need to be aware of barriers to creativity and
minimize these in their classrooms. Current classrooms are mostly indoor
learning spaces. Textbooks based learning is adopted. Only little space is
allocated for playing. There is less space for imaginative learning in play
areas. A child is more likely to try new ideas when he or she is in a safe
environment that encourages risk taking. The aesthetics and the environment
needs to be accepting of children's ideas. The design of a learning space, and
the many factors that come together to create that space, impact on how we
feel and behave in that space and ultimately how we learn. The importance
of mission statements, policy and planning in light of how to create spaces
that are learning-driven, child-centred and flexible. Of particular interest is
how the culture of the space and the use of technology are incorporated into
design considerations in light of these factors.The child friendly classrooms
or a well-designed classrooms provides a platform where students start to
acquire a sense of decision making and getting responsibility.Students
engage in activities to produce suitable response to a particular problem and
in skilful execution. Information is gathered through various methods, which
included classroom observations, surveys, interviews, literature and case
studies. The focus group participants and the interviewees were selected
from a variety of stakeholders, which included parents, students, teachers
and head teachers from various sectors to get a comprehensive and
representative analysis.

Abstract : Cities are trying to cope up with rapid population growth adding
2.5 billion dwellers by 2050. Due to this increasing population food is the
major problem that can be faced in the future. Planners and architects have
become increasingly interested in vertical city. Big vertical structures are
generated in the cities due to scarcity of land. As there is increase in
population deterioration of quality has been observed, Climate change is also
a major aspect in quality production. Vertical farming is the solution for the
problem.
Vertical farming is the urban farming inside a building where floors are
designed to grow crops in a city or urban centre. These heights will act as the
future farm land and as architects we can shape these high-rises to sow the
seeds for the future. This research is an attempt to implement the techniques
in Indian context and study the impacts. This study aims to spread the
awareness of importance of this technique which can revolutionize farming
in Urban areas.

Institute: IDEA, Indus University, Ahmedabad Abstract : Post-independence the search for „Indian Identity‟ was the single most
important goal. The means to achieve itvaried for most of the architects at a time
when the modern architecture was becoming devoid of character.
Architects along with Achyut Kanvinde were trying to reinterpret the elements of
traditional Indian architecturein post-independence India. Kanvinde being one of the
foremost modernists who brought a change in the
architectural language of India has conspicuously remained unsung in the modern
movement in India. Nowthere is a growing interest in his works and his works are
being noted by architects. One constant idea Kanvindeused was an expression of
„human values‟ in architecture and the architects concern for activities and
theirhuman relationship. „Human values‟ are values which are of central importance
to man's nature of being human.
These guide man in the right path, giving him a sense of peace and belief. Kanvinde
expressed „human values‟by achieving the experience of architecture through form
and space. The expression of „human values‟ can betraced through his architectural
career spanning over five decades. His works speak for themselves and theyhave
been inspiring various generations of architects. His works are the reflection of his
beliefs and ideologies
which can be the means of learning and understanding architecture that transpired
through India. The buildingshe designed were typically straight-faced, geometrical
which can be seen through his works, which absorbed a
fluidity which made them speak. This paper will discuss „human values‟ and their
expression througharchitecture by studying the institutions of Architect Achyut
Kanvinde. The study will rely on secondary sourcessuch as interviews and articles of
architect himself and books, documents, journals and visits to buildings andanalysing
the buildings based on site and local context, articulation and integration of form and
geometry,functional hierarchy and hierarchy of spaces. This study will help to
understand the importance of architecturethrough form and space through a
framework of analysis established based on „human values‟.

Abstract: A story that a building tells creates a level of meaning and
connection for the user that can be appealing and provoking. It is the ability
for the spectator to learn something beyond the noticeable causes rather than
keeping them behind. Narratives in architecture have evolved from an
absorbing exploration of the client's mission and passion; the building
program or function; its site context; and often its place in history. Editing
the significance into a simple theme and then expanding it into an absolute
account creates the detail of the understanding. However, from a past few
experiences, I have noticed that we have a preconceived notion of a few
things as how they look like a house or scenery or the form of a tree. But
they are not always the same. Architecture changes from place to place so do
the people and they adopt the surroundings. However, the act of architectural
storytelling is critical to the building of spaces that convey meaningful
messages. Within the outline of the idea that the architect- storyteller is
someone who makes buildings and spaces which speak. Also, to architects,
the long-term attraction of the tale is that it offers modes of attraction with
the ways a city is experienced and works. Rather than limiting architecture to
mere style or unconcealed importance on technology, it foregrounds the
experiential dimension of architecture. Narratives in architecture can explore
the potential for a story as a way of understanding buildings from ancient
history through to the current, deals with architectural surroundings, analysis
and practice as well as for its future growth. So talking about the spatial
qualities this paper will discuss the character city. Also, how architecture
plays an important role in defining age, power, market, authenticity, religion,
and beauty and identifies the roles they play in construction to the grand
narrative of forms a living and the culture which we have adopted. These
narratives will be formed by visiting the old city, observing, gathering
information and looking up to the stories which made up history and
conveying it visually as well as through text.

Abstract : The artificial lighting today has become a significant
consideration while designing the form and mass of the building as it
provides the user with a different spatial experience. Contemporary
architects are more concerned regarding the way massing of the building,
move through it, and its silhouette is perceived at night. Gradually, architects
have commenced designing the spaces with electrical light infused in the
design process and not leaving it as an afterthought. Banham has described
that electrical light alters the perception of space and form, which inherently
provides a different spatial experience to the user as compared to the day.
Similarly, the nature of these spaces also changes depending on the intensity,
colour, and direction of light. Previous studies have addressed the change
felt in the perception of space in various lighting conditions but not many
have studied the change in perception of the overall mass and journey
through the architectural spaces in luminary lights. The study aims at
analysing the mass, movement and silhouette of a building, and their role in
the perception of spaces. The scope of the research has been limited to the
contemporary institutional buildings of Ahmedabad which functions during
the day and night. The research with the help of the literature review will be
conducted by visiting these buildings both during day and night, note down
the observations and experiences, and then try to analyse the changes
experienced in both of the times. As a result, the research will try to
conclude different spatial experiences in a space perceived by the user in
different light intensity, colour, and direction. The study will also conclude
on how the mass of the building seems to affect the volume, provide a
calming journey, and provide the user with a new spatial experience at night.

Institute: IDEA, Indus University, Ahmedabad Abstract : The interplay of culture – climate and architecture has been a theme
most widely accepted and researched by scholars time and again. Rajasthan, for
its rich architectural heritage owing to its culture and tradition, in a particular hot
and dry climate has been most appropriate to examine this relationship. The
formation of traditional architecture in Rajasthan has been very pure to its region
reflecting its social and physical factors. In the present context where
architecture has become more similar all around with the use of same materials it
is losing a lot on the cultural aspects, it is much necessary to understand this
relationship. Growth of cities in Rajasthan such as Jaipur, Jodhpur, Jaislmer,
Udaipur, etc. has evolved around their historical core. All these cities have
evolved with a lot of layers implicating to their socio cultural needs to the
changing world view of modernity. Thus studying these cities in the present
scenario leads one to understand the architecture, influence of culture and
physical aspects, see the layers of change and understand the present perception
about the need and the world view.Sirohi district of Rajasthan is selected for
study as it has not got due attention despite of having very rich traditional
architecture. Sirohi founded in 1405AD by Deora dynasty has a mix of
indigenous communities. The house form of every community has evolved
differently reflecting to their cultural factors which is seen clearly. Settlement
patterns of all these communities are different which further contribute to the
morphology of the town. Since last 10year growth has increased influentially.
Town has started expanding of its old territory with new approaches. Also in the
old part of town many of the houses have started to demolish the old to build
new. ThusSirohi is the most pertinent case to study its traditional house form and
identify the factors of change to the present context. This paper will primarily
focus on house form which will help one in framing the questions about the way
for further approach and will help interpreting in individual way with broader
understanding of the layers of change. Study starting with the literature review to
documenting houses at Sirohi from the oldest to the present and analyse each to
decode the factors of formation and also with the probe try to understand the
inner nature of house. The scope of research will be limited to documentation
and analysis of a few houses of community considering all the phases of
development: old, intermediate and present.

determine the meanings of space” - Journal of Urban Design, 2018 Vol.23
Abstract : Locationsof the marketplaces are affected by accessibility and number of
users of the Market place in the city. To study and analyze theeffect of accessibility
on the market places. The farmers travel from different villages to the Baramati city
market for selling ofgoods which is their culture and this solely depends on the road
networks and access available to the market and nodes from whichpeople enter in
relation with human settlements. To explore the effect of accessibility of Markets on
location with respect to humansettlements.
Markets influence Urbanization, deforestation, agriculture and other allied activities.
The market access environment keeps onconstantly developing and changing, a focus
on actively changing means of entries and roads along the market should be taken
intoaccount. Roads are the crux of the human civilization and social interaction along
with activities. Human settlements are thoughheterogeneous but involve interactions
among themselves. It is observed that availability of a suitable location for market
placesserves for activities like buying and selling which are the major traffic
attractors and circulators that tend to concentrate morealong road corridors for easy
access. Improved accessibility would save on time but if the roads and pathways are
unplanned itleads to sprawl of human settlement which impedes traffic flow and
connectivity. Improved accesses lead to economically viable
and attractive place and economics is the major aspect of the market. The complete
functioning of the market is based on thecirculation pattern inside as well as outside
the space and in the Baramati market there are too narrow entries at the front side
which do not allow the vehicles to enter and people need to take a long route to enter
the market else the only option is walking toolong. Hence having a resolved access is
an important aspect of the markets.

Abstract: Daylighting strategies are also affected by climate; thus, the
identification of seasonal, prevailing climate conditions, particularly ambient
temperatures and sunshine probability, is a basic step in daylight
design.Window area will have impacts on the building's heating, cooling,
and lighting, as well as relating it to the natural environment in terms of
access to daylight, ventilation and views.
The main aim of this study is to analyze daylight distribution in a typical
room in the context of architectural studio. It also aims to study whether the
by laws relating to opening sizes for rooms in the architectural studio are
sufficient to provide optimum day lighting levels for normal daily functions.
The methodology used is in the form of experimentation by calculating the
WWR of the architectural studio using lux meter and analyzing the daylight
required in architectural studio which can help the user to see well, clearly
and comfortably in that space.

Abstract : Heritage means inherited civilization of predecessor, which is not
limited to language or literature alone, but it also includes physical elements
of the community, which includes spaces along these buildings. heritage
buildings are very important because it provides a sense of identity and
continuity in a fast-changing world for future generations. The character and
identity of these urban spaces can be differentiated into two main
characteristics- positive and negative spaces.
Positive outdoor spaces are lively and are being used to its full potential,
while negative spaces are leftover spaces that are often not used despite
having potential. The physical characteristics are influenced by tangible and
intangible factors in urban space, which affect the human perception of those
spaces.
This paper will present the study and analyse these spaces around urban
heritage. It also tries to put forward the analysis of positive and negative
spaces and strategies for them to develop.

Abstract: Urban street art is a powerful tool in reflecting the experience of
the urban, provoking an engagement of urbanites with their environment,
and in re-socialising public spaces. The concept of the city has come to play
a central role in the practices of a new generation of artists for whom the city
is their canvas. Street art is a complex social issue. For decades, its presence
has fueled intense debate among residents of modern cities. Street art is
considered by some to be a natural expression that exercises a collective
right to the city, and by others, it is seen as a destructive attack upon an
otherwise clean and orderly society. This research focuses on various forms
of street art from the perspective of the urban cityscape. The general aim is
to further an understanding of how people interact with and respond to street
art. Qualitative and quantitative data were gathered via direct participant
observations of street art installations in pune city. The collective data and
analysis will help to know various typologies favoured by public interest,
their impact on surrounding, issues related to various aspects. Emerging the
need in future city scape enhancement by promoting art to develop sense of
responsibility in urban context by authorities and public participation.

Status of Universal Access in Shopping Malls in Pune
Author – Sameeksha Chavan
Abstract: Many people in India are deprived of using public toilets because
of physical inaccessibility to the toilets. The Universal Accessibility Act
(2005) (equal opportunities, protection of rights and full participation)
strictly states that “Therefore, in order to provide for the general welfare of
all citizens, all new construction of buildings, included within the provisions
of this act, shall be accessible to and usable by persons with physical
handicaps.” The research is carried out to study the physical accessibility of
toilets in malls. The study is carried out for malls as malls are the places
where there are many activities, viz. shopping, watching movie, having food
etc. carried out under a single roof, also malls are visited by people of all age
groups. The study will be done through live case studies made by visiting
various malls in Pune City. The study will be useful for making malls more

Temporary Structures creating Permanent Bonds:
Architectural Impermanence in the City of Pune
Author: Sanidhya Shah
Guide: Ar. Aarthi Chandrasekhar
VIT‟s Padmabhushan Dr. Vasantdada Patil College of
Architecture, Pune
Abstract: This is a new interpretation of spaces which are temporary in
nature among a dense urban fabric. Temporary structures are establishment
which are constructed and dismantled for a specific period and purpose. E.g.:
It can be your everyday vegetable vendor, or a „pandol‟ for a marriage
function. Today, we are in a state where creating built infrastructure/built
spaces in a city is seen as development; even without questioning their need.
There are so many cases of infrastructure which is ghosted and used by
nobody, this adds to the toll on the environment. A City also needs a space to
breathe. Cities should optimize each and every space and rather, spaces
should be used which may in turn could be given back to the city after its
use. Hence, the question arises if permanent solutions are necessary for
temporary problems?
Here, two case studies of 1) Khadda vegetable market, Camp, Pune and 2)
Sawai Gandharv Utsav, Mukundnagar, Pune are captured in terms of their
processes, routines and unique features of operations. The temporal changes
here are studied for a course of one whole day and one month respectively.
These findings are viewed through a critical lens w.r.t its impact on the land
and the people. The process shows that the establishments, though they are
ephemeral; have a relationship with the locality, the physical elements and
the people. They touch the ground lightly, are economical and also
sustainable in terms of its methods of construction and materiality.
This study throws light on the importance and need of such open spaces and
encouragement of temporary structures in cities. Certain policies and
solutions are also stated to incorporate such open spaces and structures
accommodating the needs of a city. This could be used in making
development plans of future cities. It also can be taken further ahead in the
research of new emerging technologies which would further help building
this cause.

Guided by: Ar. Mukta Latkar
Abstract: Hospice is a special concept of care, designed to provide comfort,
support and dignity to patients and their families when a life-limiting illness
no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments. The purpose of a hospice is
having a barrier-free environment to influence the comfort and well-being of
the patients, thus creating a house where there are perfect conditions to
accomplish life. Among the five human senses, vision is the most powerful
in providing information. It also informs us about the environment around
us, not just in an objective way by determining things such as room‟s shape,
size and colours but by creating a psychological sensation which can induce
feelings of comfort, security, stimulation and much more. Colour has a vital
role in enhancing the environment and providing information and spatial
orientation, helping occupants of hospice make sense of their surroundings.
Most patients in a hospice have stigma about their condition because of the
society‟s negative evaluation. So, it is obligatory for a hospice to build an
environment which can help patients cope up with such stigma. The
application of colour and design for a healing environment should take into
account the emotional and psychological factors which can affect patient‟s
well-being. Terminally-ill patients can go through emotional upheavals
which are more receptive to emotional stimuli of colour.

Fourth year B.Arch Abstract: In the current socio-economic life there are multiple public spaces
designed and there are many that are eventually created over the period of time.
These are the places used by public for recreation in everyday life. The aim of the
topic is to understand how an organical (unplanned) development of public space is
transformed into public plaza. The objectives of the research include study of
organically developed space, public space, typology public places, public plazas and
function of public place as public plaza. The Places which had a significant meaning
eventually start serving as a public place, that enhances the vibrancy of a city life.
City life from the point of view of metro cities to the district level cities. Study is
limited to the places or space which evolved into public plazas over the course of
time in the districts of Maharashtra in India. The Case studies based on two different
spaces in two different districts in Maharashtra state. Ancient monumental building in
Satara district. (Rajwada) and geographically built- water front space in Karad district
(Pritisangmghat). This study with the method of observing, activity mapping and
interviewing people in those places has explored the reasons for the conversion of
organical development of places as public plaza with the details of the original
purpose of the space, change in its functionality as seen in change in the functioning
of Rajwada and the change in surrounding of the space starts creating an identity seen
in the Pritisangamghat. Public spaces being the most vibrant and live identity of the
city sometimes remain unorganised and unrecognised due to the organically
development of such spaces. These are prominent spaces that is witness to the
majority of community and city level events like festivals, lectures, national days,
religious activities etc. Indian cities and public spaces within them are fast evolving
and being driven by global economy, western influence and rapid urbanisation. Good
spaces serve as a stage on which the daily drama of a city‟s public lives is enacted by
providing a unique window into the socio cultural fabric of the city. Considering the
diverse cultures, regions and religions operate at different levels regarding the
boundaries of public vis-à-vis private, the nature of spaces is constantly changing.
there‟s a need to create interconnected ecosystem with the city fabric to allow the
organic (not through a formal planning process) to constructively engage and
mutually coexist with the inorganic(planned) and to see the cities as the sum of its
multitude of spaces and people‟s interactions in them as a reflection of their culture
with due course of time and not see cities as buildings and streets.

Abstract : The transitional spaces are the spaces which connect two or more
different spaces, these spaces also act as buffer zones for indoor and outdoor
spaces. They are also defined as the connecting space or a links between two
or more spaces. Looking at Indian architecture, there are features like
pavilions, courtyards, terraces, vestibules and thresholds which accentuate
transition. These transitional spaces have traditional and cultural value in
some communities. Different communities have different traditional value
for these spaces. In Maharashtra, the transitional spaces are observed in
residential built environment performing similar roles traditionally. These
spaces play an important role in the various festivals, social and cultural
activities. Transitional spaces in these communities are transforming
gradually in today‟s world and so is the traditional value related to it. It is
important to understand the dynamics of such transitions and transformation
in built environment. This research paper attempts to find out that how the
transitional spaces are related to the culture of Maharashtra and why they are
important to Maharashtrian culture. It focuses on the physical aspect of the
space. The research examines the various transitional spaces used in
Maharashtrian architecture by investigating the transformation of transitional
spaces according to different timelines. It will also include case studies of
various transitional spaces in residential built form. The paper concludes
with understand the transformation of transitional spaces according to the
time and how the traditional values are adopting the change in the
transitional spaces, and how it is adopting the culture and tradition to suit
current built form.

Abstract : Islam is founded by prophet Mohammad in Mecca at the start of 7th
century. As Islam started growing and spreading to another places, increasing
Muslim population needed the space for worship and mosque as a typology came into
existence. In 622 A.D. first mosque got built at Mecca. The planning of a mosque
was inspired from a house of prophet Mohammad. The open to sky courtyard for the
worship enclosed by walls to separate the spiritual world from the material world
outside with the Mihrab a niche on west directing towards the Mecca. When this
religious typology of a structure taken to another region it has to adopt certain
contextual changes as per climate, local materials, topography, patron, scale etc.
Islam has given the guidelines for the design of a mosque but still one can notice the
difference between the visual character of mosques. Patron is one such factor who
has influenced the design of mosque noticeably. As planning can't be changed as per
the guidelines, the visual character is where the role of a patron comes into the
picture where he has got flexibility to change or design as per his will. For live case
study research deals with the Jama Mosque Ahmadabad, which is designed by the
sultan Ahmed Shah. In case of Jama mosque Ahmadabad, Hindu temple architecture
and Mandapa the planning principles of temple are affecting the design as the patron
was highly fascinated by temples in India. Also the influence of Indo-sarsanic
architecture and Arabesque style of ornamentation are visible. Hence objective of a
paper is to study how patron influences the design of a mosque.
Architecture of mosque is evolved through ages, from Hijas (region of Saudi Arebia
where Mecca and Medina are situated). First mosque of Islam was built at Medina.
Mosque is an aggregate of so many inspirations which are derived from divergent
sources. It adopted and absorbed various elements drawn from ancient cultures and
it's an evolutionary process that such features as Mehrab, Minar, Nave, Iiwan, Dome,
Arch and Minar have became its constituents. Muslims began to built mosques from
very early days of Islam, and as number of these mosques are multiplied, patterns of
architecture began to develop. From 9th century onwards Islamic sultans started to
spread Islam worldwide by defeating the armies of different kings and several
mosques got built under the patronage of these sultans. As the mosque typology got
spread away from its original context, it adopted some contextual changes and the
changes influenced by the patron. Keywords: Mosque, Islam, Patron, Ornamentation, Style.

Abstarct : Pune is known for its heritage and culture along with the
exquisite Maratha temples built during the Peshwa reign (1720),traces of
Mughal invasions, followed by British Colonization and subsequent
modernization in the city which gave it its architectural identity.
After several years, some of these temples and complexes from the „Golden
period‟came under conservation. Till then the surrounding vicinities of
temple complex‟s had developed to a prominent level. A distinct
architectural style of evolution is observed in some of the temples.
This development observed is in form of residential as well as commercial
and a number of buildings are of mix used typology. A detail analysis with
percentage of each will be obtained after further study, with help of data
collection majorly primary live case studie, surveys and questionnaire‟s,
accompanying the descriptive collection with photographs etc. with respect
to architectural material, elements and construction type.
This paper will try to analysis how this development affected the area and
surroundings with respect to traffic/congestions, culture, economy and lastly
on the people and also to understand and explore the meaning of „genius
loci’ and how it has still been preserved till date and focuses on preserving
the existing form and space.

Architectural Expressions Of Different Cultures On
Maratha Temple Architecture During Peshwa Period Author – Shubhankar P. Ambike

Introduction : Since the days of early Buddhist rock-cut architecture
at Ajanta and Ellora,in Aurangabad, the part of the Deccan that lies in
Maharashtra has been an important centre of architectural activity. A
tradition of carving from the living rock was active up to the 9th
century AD . A prolific phase of temple building began in the 11th
century under the Yadava Dynasty , which was only in general terms
related to the tradition of rock cut architecture in the Deccan. This
tradition of structural temple building in basalt stones flourished until
the early 13th century when the Yadavas were supplanted by the
Muslim invaders from northern India. Indigenous .i.e the original
style temple traditions in Gujarat and Rajasthan survived Muslim
invasion, and indeed readily adapted itself to the requirements of the
Muslim patronage. However, in Maharashtra, after initial persistence
of Yadava patronage in the 14th century, the impression is of a
importation of Islamic architecture from outside the region. Islamic
rule in the Deccan was challenged by the rising kingdoms of the
Marathas in Maharashtra. Under the leadership of Shivaji Maharaj ,
the Marathas revolted against the Islamic powers here and gradually
established their rule in Maharashtra . The Marathas ruled over most
of Maharashtra from the mid 17th to the early 19th centuries.
Most temples in India built before the Muslim invasion are products
of 'organic' traditions that developed out of their own internal forces
of the Islamic invaders. The temple tradition of the Marathas varies
from such an organic traditions whose development remained
undisrupted in the absence of any political and religious force like
Islam or other. The Maratha temple tradition is therefore
'discontinuous' in nature, being a restoration of Hindu temple
construction after the 300 years of Islamic dominating rule On India
or Maharashtra. This is the basis of Maratha temple architecture ,
forming a single framework of the research theory. While focusing on
the Maratha temple architecture, the study investigates the impact of
the two preceding traditions of architecture in Maharashtra. Maratha

temples in Maharashtra are the product of a tradition in which certain
forms underwent transformation while some new forms were created,
stemming from the earlier traditions in the region. . The aims of this
study are to record the formal characteristics of the temple
architecture here, at the various stages of development, in order to
understand the evolution of the temple architecture in Maharashtra
during Peshwa period . Broader areas of patronage, political
perceptions and ideological views of this turbulent period in Indian
history have been looked into. Along with these influences, Maratha
temple architecture was created through the revival and survival of
skills and the hybridization of the Indian temple and Islamic , Rajput
or south Indian Temple architectures during Peshwas. In the past,
historians and students of Indian architectural history have
concentrated their efforts on the grand temple traditions in the
country. The temple architecture in Maharashtra got influenced by
various other Architectural styles such as Rajput, South Indian and
Islamic for aesthetics or any other reasons, during Peshwai.

Abstract : Introduced on 1st July 2017, GST is one of the biggest changes in
indirect taxation of India. By replacing almost all indirect taxes such as
VAT, sales tax, service tax, excise duty, etc. GST has eliminated various
difficultiesof the earlier tax regime. By adopting the dual model of GST, the
tax revenue of each transaction is shared by the centre as well as the state
government.The impact made by GST has transformed the entire tax system
in India. This has paved way for the unification of the entire country under
“one nation, one tax and one market”
With the implementation of “One nation one Tax”, there has been a drastic
change in the working environment of the construction industry which has
led to changing rates of laborers, construction materials, machinery
pertaining to construction, technologies used construction, which has
ultimately affected the cost of construction as well as the cost of buying and
selling properties.
This paper aims to understand GST for construction industry in India. The
objectives of this study include knowing the basics of GST, tax slabs for
various construction materials and understanding the key aspects of GST for
construction industry. The scope of work will commence from understanding
the deficiencies of the earlier taxation system and conclude with benefits and
drawbacks of GST for the construction Industry in India. This study will be
limited to the basics of GST and will not include any transaction details.

Abstract : India‟s Energy sector is one of the most critical component of an
infrastructure that affects India‟s economic growth. The development in any
sector is directly related to the energy consumption that is growing as the
population increases. In the present energy scenario, Smart grid technology
plays a very productive role towards alternate sources of energy as compare
to coal (which is already dominating the production of energy). Smart grid
technology is a better alternative solution which consists of Off-Grid and
On-Grid power system. In India, the widely used alternative energy source in
the residential sector uses solar energy, primarily because of easy
installation, higher productivity and lower operating, maintenance costs and
incentives given by government of India through various subsidies. BAPV
(Building Applied Photovoltaics) being a clean technology plays a vital role
in reliance on conventional energy sources as well as being very successful
for rapid climate change at the moment. Slum dwellers and economical
weaker section are facing problems to adjust with the rising energy cost.
Hence for energy substitution for slums on EWS, BAPV proves to be the
better alternate solution to them. In addition, various government subsidies
are also very beneficial to the homeowners in order to initiate the rooftop
solar PV. This paper analyses energy consumption patterns & electricity
costs of Pune Chaitraban slums & suggests recommendation for energy
substitution with rooftop solar PV for reducing their electricity cost. The
paper also recommends rooftop solar PV as a portable source of income for
slum dwellers when linked to the grid supply for excess solar PV generation.

Abstract : In a city like Pune, water as a resource, is sparse and expensive.
Considering the growing population and rising number of residential
buildings coming up, it is necessary to understand the need and urgency to
pay attention to water conservation in the services provided in buildings by
reducing both, wastage and consumption. Building services are hinged upon
the presumption that resources are readily available and water is used across
services. Hence any attempts made at conserving water used in the services
will definitely help towards making the overall building sustainable. As per a
study conducted across seven cities in India it is noted that bathing consumes
the maximum amount of water, at 28 percent of the total domestic
consumption, roughly 55 litres per person per day. Another study suggests
that 30% of the urban population takes bath using showers. Pune stands at a
staggering 6 million plus population. Assuming 10% of the non slum
population takes showers with water heated by solar heaters and per person 1
litre of water is wasted, the cascading effect amounts to lakhs of potable
treated and heated water being lost while waiting for hot water to get to an
optimum temperature hot enough to bathe and this approximation is way
below the actual figures which this paper intends to find. As per Ministry of
Renewable energy (MNRE) guidelines it is now mandatory that buildings
employ solar heaters for heating water. Due to climatic and functional
problems it is noted that the wait for hot water from solar heaters is the fairly
long. Hence this study is limited water loss occurring in showers dispensing
Solar Heated water.
The objective of this study is to quantify the amount of water wasted from
showers while waiting for hot water by conducting surveys and scientific
methods. This data will throw light on the huge amounts of losses that occur
daily. While we grapple with water shortage, as municipal supply is
insufficient and procuring water is expensive, from cost and resource
aspects, we have been allowing this alarming wastage to happen due to lack
of awareness, insensitivity and negligence towards environmental issue.
Residential households that receive central solar heated water will be studied

as a part of this research and an analysis will provide statistical quantified
data which can form a basis for then looking for solutions to mitigate this
alarming problem. The problem will be circumnavigated to look at
inferences that can give an understanding about climatic, functional and
social aspects that lead to this wastage and need to be curbed. For
management professionals, the primary goal is to manage costs and
resources and as architects‟ sustainability cannot anymore be an afterthought
but needs to be woven in system design itself. The building Industry in India
will eventually have to comply with the Sustainable Development Goals
formulated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) that
mandates that development must balance socio-economic and environmental
sustainability and this research is a step in that direction.

overcome these problems. In this project I describe the design of the retrofit
to the existing Sports café Kitchen to a solar kitchen. I will analyse the use
patterns of the chef‟s and kitchen staff to design a solar system for the
optimum energy required for carrying out the function of the kitchen without
disturbance. A solar cooker uses the energy of direct sunlight to heat, cook,
bake or pasteurize food or drink. It only works when the sun shines, so solar
cooking can never be a stand-alone technology. Solar energy can be an ideal
component of the energy mix of a household to complement other
combustion-based stoves that can produce heat on demand based on other
fuels. To which degree solar energy can replace other fuels depends on local
dishes and cooking habits. When used in combination with energy-efficient
stoves and other low energy technologies they are useful. The objective of
the research paper is to give an optimised retrofit solution for the intended
kitchen combining existing facilities with proposed solar kitchen solutions,
and also to compare energy loads before and after.

Abstract : Whenever the use of computers in architecture is thought of, one
imagines it to be used for decreasing the human efforts, as a time saving
measure, and to avoid human errors. When the term „Parametricism‟
gathered fame, there was a commencement of exploration in the field of
architecture. Some softwares are used as tools for form finding apart from
using them as tools for just drafting and 3D views. Designs are based on
various systems and computational scripts based on specific logics and
parameters. which can also be termed as a reincarnation of Architecture.
„Parametricism‟ is now the current movement happening in Architecture.
Along with the advancements in technology, development of a co-relation
between tradition and trending needs to be established now to see a better
India in the near future. This paper will aim at discussing the scenarios
where Bamboo, a traditional and an eco-friendly source, can be used as a
Parametric Material. Bamboo is known as “Green Steel”. It is the
construction material which beats steel, when ratios of stiffness to strength of
both the materials are compared. Bamboo is a fast growing commodity
which will be used in future construction industry as one of the sustainable
and multipurpose materials. This paper aims to explore the different forms
and systems, where bamboo is used as the core material. This study has a
case study approach and explores the feasibility of complex construction in
bamboo in Indian context. The possibility of using the computer aided
formswith bamboo will be studied making it a potential parametric
construction material.

Abstract: British weren‟t the only ones to set foot in India. The present
shape of India is moulded by a long history of intense interaction with
foreign invaders. Parts of Bengal region were once colonies of European
settlements and the colourful heritage of Portuguese, Dutch, French and
Danish are still evident in the cities along the Hooghly River. This paper
attempts to explore the influence of these European cultures over the
colonial settlements along the Hooghly River in west Bengal.
Along the banks of the Hooghly river are a series of settlements which are
best preserved specimen of erstwhile trading posts of European powers
French (Chandernagore), Dutch (Chinsurah), Danish (Serampore),
Portuguese (Bandel), Goretty (French), Banquibazar (Imperial/Austrian),
Bernagore (Dutch) and Fort William/Calcutta (British). A testimony to the
confluence of cultures and a starting point of the "Contemporary Bengali
Culture" manifested in the form of architecture, town planning, literature and
art that developed in the region during the Colonial period.
This paper aims to understand the evolution of colonial settlements
especially in built form in Bengal region. It is an exploratory qualitative
research based on case studies of the pertinent settlements and on primary
data gathered by conducting surveys in the same region. It will lead us to the
nature of influences that are manifested in built form.

year M. Arch (Environmental Architecture)
Abstract : Construction industry being the foremost consumer of energy
resources has great prospect to develop innovative energy saving techniques.
Light is the most important component which makes huge impact on energy
consumption throughout the life cycle of the building. Optimum use of
natural daylight is one of most important aspect to reduce operational energy
and maintenance cost in any building. Educational building where daylight is
an essential need, however more specific to the working studio where natural
daylight factor plays a very significant role. Intention of this paper is to study
effective available daylight in the existing D Y Patil school of Architectural,
more specifically for classrooms where manual drafting work has to be
produced. The study areas selected are canteen and a classroom which are
the most problematic areas in the building. The research investigates the
problematic areas which are recipient of insufficient or improper daylight
with the help of measurement of actual lux levels and analytical methods. In
this research user‟s survey will be act as an investigative post occupancy
evaluation methodology. Intention of this rigorous study is to improve the
daylight factor with the help of different permutation and combination of
various strategies like light shelves, ceiling pattern, innovative material and
manual solar tracking system. Once available daylight is improved,
permanent supplementary artificial lighting for interior (PSALI) will be
introduced in the area to meet the NBC. Analytical method and simulation
method will be used to validate the research. Outcome of the paper is to
provide retrofitting solution to existing building to achieve desired lighting
which will meet the compliance of Indian lighting standards.

Phenomenology as a tool for analysis of historic areas in
Indian context - (Case example: Pune)
Author: Siddhi Vikas Joshi
Abstract : The spaces and environment around us underlays various layers
of identities, images, functionality, which though not distinctly visible, are
still present around through built manifestations, memories and stories. The
manifestation of these networks have been places that mirror life,
domesticities, culture of its inhabitants and decode city‟s past.
Phenomenology can be thus directly linked to the vitality of the space, as
without the human presence the space has no receptions for the various
narratives it holds. In other words, phenomenology can be understood as the
interpretive embodiment of man through his experiences in and of his
surroundings on an everyday basis.
The process of urbanization, transformation and current development trends
has resulted in the loss of character, ethos and identity of the historic layers
of the city. This disjunction has altered perceptions and weakened its
associations with the people, altering values and significance and thus
transforming these manifestations mere into objects standing in isolation.
The environment around us contains a unique and dynamic record of human
activity, shaped by people responding to surroundings and embodies
components of phenomenology i.e. human perceptions, associations and
experiences, that still finds its traces in the historic cores. But with the urban
environment governed by logics and codes, rather than experience, the
environment has reduced to spaces failing to evoke sense of belonging,
thereby disabling the senses, values, emotions and experience.
The research situates itself in the dialectics of phenomenology and
conservation there by seeking to understand the importance of human senses
and values in understanding spaces within the historic cores, with case
example being Pune. It intends to explore phenomenology as a concept and
its inter-relationship with human senses, perceptions and experiences, and
understand relevance of this approach in analysis of historic cores.
Keywords: phenomenology, values, perceptions, experience, sense of place

Abstract : Courtyards as a traditional strategy were used to create a suitable
microclimate for dwellers, but in contemporary architecture, inadequate
knowledge of form and features of courtyards makes them deficient to serve
the purpose as an element to provide thermal comfort. This paper focuses on
traditional courtyard considering them as a micro climate and discusses
about the various physical parameters affecting the human thermal comfort
such as courtyard geometry, orientation, wind effects and features of
courtyards like its height, etc for hot and dry climate. Each parameter is
discussed in detail along with various factors affecting those parameters. The
key findings of this research paper are identifying the optimised
contemporarily-built environment with the climate based on traditional
factors to reach sustainable contextual courtyards the for achieving and
improving the human thermal comfort in hot and dry climate. By
continuously controlling the shadow on the courtyard surfaces, suitable
dimensions and also the direction of the building, it is possible to reduce the
transfer of heat from the sun to the buildings. Based on the various literature
it is found that having a rectangular geometry is better and by increasing the
ratio of length to width and also increasing the height of the walls of the
courtyard increases the percentage of shading. For orientation, it has been
proved from many simulation results that, a northern courtyard orientation is
best to avoid direct solar radiation even in early morning hours with
significant wall height. It is also reported that by increasing the height of the
walls, the noontime temperature decreases and the night time air temperature
is higher than in the courtyards with lower walls. Therefore, it is concluded
that, a courtyard with rectangular geometry, northern orientation, 20% tree
coverage and high wall enclosure is recommended for human thermal
comfort in hot and dry climate.

Abstract : As per a recent research, India‟s millennial population is
expected to grow from 28% of total population in 2016 to an estimated 42%
of the total population by 2025. Having co living environments, with a
millennial consumer in mind, will henceforth become a necessity. Co-living
spaces are shared living spaces in which residents have individual rooms and
share common spaces such as kitchens and living rooms. These living spaces
have become quite popular with young professionals and digital nomads as
convenient housing arrangements for those that are new to the city or
pursuing higher education in non-native cities. This research aims to study
and identify how the sustainable benefit of co-living spaces to reduce the
carbon footprint. Co-living spaces share essential resources such as gas, food
resources and, electricity etc. By sharing such resources, co-living spaces
reduce the energy consumption for appliances, like water heaters and air
conditioners etc. Individuals occupying the co-living spaces help implement
a sustainable approach for energy consumption to ensure a reduced carbon
footprint.
The research is carried out on the basis of case studies and observations in
figures and comparison of parameters to lower the carbon footprint in
coliving spaces. Based on the findings and comparing the cases with respect
to facts and figures the amount of reduction can be found out. This study
includes different parameters or strategy to reduce carbon footprint in
coliving spaces as compared to non coliving spaces. The study is focusing on
a user of 18-35 year age group covering the major millennium populated
areas in Pune.

Abstract : Outdoor lighting plays very important role in the day to day life
of user. The study is intended to analyze the current outdoor lighting
scenario in residential buildings and lighting importance in usage of outdoor
spaces. The study is carried out for a residential complex from two different
townships and one residential complex from the respected townships. The
literature study focuses on the recommended illumination levels and effect of
outdoor lighting in day to day life of user which states that feeling of security
is directly proportional to outdoor lighting which can affect the crime rates in
the areas and surroundings. The prevailing outdoor lighting of the spaces is
analyzed with the recommended illumination levels as per standards. The
positions of the luminaries on the site were mapped and its illumination
levels were measured during the field study. The measured lux levels and
recommended lux levels of IESNA are compared and analyzed. Interviews
of the users were taken to know their perception about outdoor lighting in
their campus. The study is also carried out to establish the relationship
between outdoor spaces and outdoor lighting designs through mapping of
people in the outdoor spaces for 6 p.m. , 7 p.m. , 8 p.m. which states that
optimum lighting design leads to improve usage of outdoor spaces. From the
field study, general guidelines are suggested to improve outdoor street
lighting. In addition, simulation model was validated in DIALux software for
common spaces like street lighting, walkways, play areas etc. which suggest
the particular luminaries fixtures, positioning of fixture, spacing and
mounting height of fixtures to improve lighting for that specific areas.

Abstract Public areas in hospitals are accessible to people on any time of
the day or night but the people who visit hospitals are not that emotionally
stable which makes it different from other public areas like museum or
malls. Many hospitals do not consider public areas as important element in
hospital building, use of artificial lights and air conditioning system is
provided in large hospitals without considering the comfort of people. While
considering this aspect the focus of public areas will include waiting areas,
entrance and reception areas, canteen area and main corridors . The scope of
research will be on waiting areas of the public which spares most of the time
over there because of the patients, which should also have consideration for
hygiene along with light and ventilation. The use of small spaces for
daylighting in effective manner in large hospitals would also be an area of
study. The cases of general hospitals in Pune region will be considered,
analysis and comparison of these hospitals public areas would be taken into
consideration with identification of problems if any. This research will help
in studying different public areas that require or has natural light and its
impacts on people that visit patients including family members, relatives,
friends, hospital staff etc. Outline of the article will have design parameters
that can improve natural light in public areas of hospital building and in what
way such hospitals can provide better environment for visitors.

Abstract: Relevance implies a traceable, significant, logical connection with
relationships between what is seen and its interpretations. Social relevance is
a way in which a product, service, business or a built form; is relevant to the
society. Social relevance of Architecture implies the relevance of the built
form to society norms. Basically, the built form fulfill the needs of society to
live and interact; and at a higher level, it provides an expression of human
civilization.
Shapes and Styles are main factors in the design of built form which are
influenced by the social norms and whenever these norms changed; the
characteristics of shapes and styles have drastically changed. As,certain
aspects of the social norms are influential in the built form; they are
incorporated into the architecture, and religion is one of the central and
important factors in those norms. The aim of this paper is to find out the
social relevance of Architecture, taking Temple as a representative Built
Formof the religion.

Assistant Professor, DR.D.Y.Patil College of Architecture,
Akurdi,Pune Abstract: The Indian construction industry is known to be inefficient and
highly reluctant to accept change. Even with a changing market and
increasing competition, there are no obvious signs of comparable changes in
methods of management and approach. Advancement in Project
management tools and techniques, on the other hand, seems to offer what is
needed to raise industry standards and taking countermeasures for delay in
time and cost overrun.The construction business still depends on traditional
way of project management. The way that projects are actually conducted
has, however, changed. The gap between an old view on managing
construction projects and a new way of actually conducting them creates an
uncertainty and anxiousness within the business and its employees. People in
the construction industry today are at times aware that they are working in a
way that is not always according to the managerial view which causes
confusion. Therefore, in such a changing world, management methods that
deal with change as part of reality are required, Flexibility while developing
becomes paramount.Applying the principles of sustainability in the project
and creating a sustainable working environment for workers in terms of
environmental, social and economic aspects helps reduce the changes in the
project and thus lead to the success of the construction project. Traditional
Project Management has rigid nature and adopting to such a sequential and
strict processes for planning, execution and controlling has led to most of the
problems and failure of the project. So, use of agile methodology in
management can be helpful in addressing such weaknesses associated with
traditional methodologies of managing projects.

D.Y Patil School of Architecture, Charholi
Abstract : The contributions of sustainability to architectural designs are
steadily increasing in parallel withdevelopments in technology. Although
sustainability seems to be a new concept in today‟sarchitecture, in reality, it
is not. This is because, much of sustainable architectural design
principlesdepend on references to vernacular architecture, and there are
many examples found in differentparts of the world to which architects can
refer. When the world seeks for more sustainable buildings,it is acceptable to
revisit the past in order to understand sustainable features of
vernaculararchitecture. It is clear that vernacular architecture has a
knowledge that matters to be studied and
classified from a sustainability point of view. This work aims to demonstrate
that vernaculararchitecture can contribute to improving sustainability in
construction. In this sense, the paperevaluates specific vernacular housing in
costal region of Kelshi in Maharashtra and their response tonature and
ecology. In order to explain this response, field work was carried out and the
vernaculararchitectural accumulation of the region was examined on site.
The features of the examples have
been identified and debated in today‟s sustainable architectural concept. This
work holisticallyevaluates this architectural manifestation, in the light of
current knowledge, in order to find scientificjustification for its knowledge
to verify and promote its application in the future.

Abstract : A unique morphological system composed by successive layering
of geometricalpatterns over metaphysical diagrams dictated by social norms
and shaped bymathematical proportions, based on the agama texts or the
Shilpa-Shastra, exist eventoday in some of the temple-towns in
India.Characteristic and confined to the SE Asian region or the historical
„Greater India‟boundary, these city-plans were composed based on the
„Vastupurushamandala‟and the „yantra‟ diagrams.
These living cities bear physical witness to the evolutionary processes that
the city‟surban form has undergone through time, successive cultures,
changing politicoadministrativestructures and ever dynamic „people‟s
agency‟.The lens of „cultural and religious value‟ to the system and its
central role in theselandscapes is pivotal to their survival and continuity.
Such a culture of pilgrim townsform a network of connected landscapes at a
macro-level and an integratedinterdependent local system at a micro-level.
This paper intends to carry out a morphological analysis of the „agama‟
[Shilpa-Shastra] texts, interpret the proposed urban form and compare it with
thecontemporary urban form. The process shall help identify the deviations
of practicefrom texts as well as evolutionary developments.
For the purpose of the study, the city of Madurai has been chosen. Madurai
is a 3rd
century BCE city that is one of the oldest known surviving „agama-
based‟ city models.This paper is a part of an ongoing research that intends to
use this understanding topropose a heritage based approach to ongoing Smart

disasters, which can be linked to factors like rising temperatures, changing
climate etc. Heavy and untimely rains, tsunamis, earthquakes, landslides are
becoming more frequent. The research explores possible causes, both natural and
manmade, behind the landslide disaster and studies impacts of such disaster on
human life as well as surrounding ecology. The focus is on landslides in villages
as such areas are generally far from well developed infrastructure and are in
much more need of innovation and aid. Existing literature suggests that the
rehabilitation housing projects lack cultural appropriateness, considerations of
local needs of disaster victim's. Effect of such rehabilitation on surrounding
environment is not considered. The aim of this research is to assess rehabilitation
housing project using sustainability indicators. There are many indicators, such
as social, economical, environmental and cultural Which are important for
sustainability of rehabilitation project. Research focuses on sustainable aspects
suchas infrastructure, construction materials, future risk minimization and low
impact on environment. The methodology of research includes, study of history
and current background of landslide disasters in Maharashtra, as this state,
specifically Western Ghats come under moderate to high risk of landslides. The
research reports findings from a live case study of landslide disaster and
rehabilitation of Malin village located near Pune in state of Maharashtra. Further
the study of current structure of rehabilitation body of government and
identification of issues faced by disaster victims is done. To Analyze the
rehabilitation housing project, a survey and interviews of villagers were
conducted to understand their perspective on rehabilitation and further issues
faced by them. The researchconcludes with issues of current rehabilitation

Abstract : The water consumption in residential buildings is predicted to
rise by 11% by the year 2050. It is of vital importance for India to develop
water efficiency guidelines focusing on residential sector to limit the current
trends of the ever escalating water demand in residential sector. With the
technological advancements and awareness towards the environment, many
National Green Rating Systems are providing pre-requisites for water
efficiency in residential buildings. Still, these efficiency parameters are not
considered in design and planning stage of buildings by the professionals
efficiently. Fresh water availability is decreasing and the need is to
efficiently use the resource by minimizing wastage, reusing or recycling to
the highest level possible. Of the total domestic waste water generation in
India, around 70% of it is left untreated which has a huge potential of
treatment and reuse for various applications in the residential buildings and
thus there is a need for mandatory provisions for recycling waste water or
zero external discharge from the site. The research aims to study the water
consumption pattern in residential sector and includes charts, tables, design
standards and live case studies of mid-rise residential apartments in Pune.
The study attempts to find the efficient practices to improve water efficiency
at various levels and to render appropriate guidelines for efficient water
utilization for a new residential building. The research concludes that use of
water efficient plumbing fixtures, alternative sources for non-potable water
applications and recycling has significant reduction in fresh water
consumption and efficient water utilization in residential buildings which
would help to bridge the demand supply gap to reduce water footprint.

Abstract : Fire is like a silent demon in any building. Its disastrous effects
depend on design, scale and use of the building. Though not separable, we
can reduce the losses by meticulous planning and effective use of fire
suppressing measures in the building. Fire safety is responsibility of the
stakeholders of the projects such as Architects, Builders, Fire consultants and
the end users. Pune,being developed as smart city,is rapidly growing with
more and more high-rise residential buildings being built. High rise
buildings show unique behaviour in terms of fire safety. The problems
associated with high rises towards fire safety are briefly discussed in the start
of the paper to hi-light the concerns of fire safety with changing outlook of
the city. The paper discusses the relevant aspects of fire safety such as
preparedness of the fire department, attitude and awareness of the
stakeholders and live case studies of already built buildings and ongoing
constructions to make a comprehensive analysis. Fire safety concerns of fire
department of Pune city are mentioned briefly in the paper. The live case
studies in various parts of the city are mainly studied and analysed based on
adherence to the regulations and current condition of fire safety measures to
give insight of present situation in the buildings. The attitude and awareness
of fire safety of the stakeholders such as architects, fire consultants and users
are also analysed by gathering data through case studies, interviews and
surveys of the stakeholders. The inferences and conclusions are drawn based
on study carried out of the high-rise residential buildings in and around
Pune.

Abstract : architecture of any place is rooted in its history, culture and
religion. Culture and Architecture are linked to each other in such a way that
they help man to evoke his identity as an individual and the identity of the
society of which he is a part and parcel. Existing studies reveal that such
identities in a particular setting can be expressed through architecture.
Whether we consider monumental structures such as the Sanchi Stupa or the
Taj Mahal etc.; we see each of those buildings reflecting the story of their
time and how that iteration of culture has projected itself.
Culture and architectural identity are interdependent. Architecture changes
with the change in social culture. There is a direct link between them.
Architecture acknowledges & responds to cultural needs & values of the
society with which it interacts. Culture refers to the set of beliefs, ideas,
values, and attitudes etc. of society and hence the Culture of a particular
Society can be experienced by the structures that define the experience of
their living.
Key Words: Culture, Society, Entrance Gates, Identity, architectural values

Abstract: Social means the way society is organized, relevance means the
appropriatenconnection and architecture means the practice of designing &
construction of buildings.So, the social relevance of architecture can be
termed as the appropriate designing &construction of buildings in such a
way that it will reveal the identity or the particularplace or the society.When
an architect designs a town or a building, each line in his drawings is the
result ofa great accumulation of laws and principles from a dozens of
different disciplines suchas physics, dynamics, structure, mechanics, and the
resistance of material, with the addition of a whole lot of other sciences that
concern man in his environment andsociety. All these subjects along with the
study of culture in general-are no less
important to the architect; for they are directly concerned with man, and it is
for him thatarchitecture exists. A building is affected by its environment,
climate, the locality, social,cultural, and economic aspects; and thus, it owes
much of its shape to these factors.

A Comparative Analysis of Cost and Energy Performance
of Envelope Assemblies Used In Green Buildings and
Conventional Buildings

Pune Abstract : In India, green building practices are gaining popularity nowadays
due to awareness and incentives gained such as increased FSI, rebate in property
tax, etc. Going for green building certification has become a trend amongst real
estate professionals. Yet for a major percentage of the small scale residential
buildings, opting for green building materials and technologies is difficult as
compared to conventional because of lack of knowledge related to cost and
performance and lack of awareness in some of the cities. Some of the practicing
Architects are not aware about financial benefits of green rated buildings and
there is a perception that initial cost involved is very high. The cost of green-
rated building involves both hard and soft cost. Soft cost is the cost required for
certification registration, consultant‟s fees, etc; whereas the hard cost is the
actual physical cost required for materials, labour and transportation.
Building envelope is one of the important aspects to assess a building for its
sustainability in terms of thermal performance and impact on the environment.
There are many construction materials and assemblies which are now available
in the market and can be easily used for the same, even if people are not willing
to go for green building certification. This requires knowledge of the
performance and cost of green materials in comparison with conventional to
optimize the benefits while reducing the negative impact. A building envelope of
a proposed residential project in Aurangabad, Maharashtra is selected to quantify
materials required in various assemblies. The quantity was substituted by various
commonly used materials in green certified buildings to compare its hard cost
with conventional materials and technologies. Various combination of
assemblies for roof, walls and glass are then analysed for energy performance
using simulation.
Every green building assembly is not costlier than conventional one, but have
better energy performance. Optimization of cost and thermal performance is
necessary while selecting building envelope materials.

Abstract: Building envelope refers to as the skin of the structure that
separates the indoor conditioned space from the outdoor unconditioned space
and it is responsible for most of the energy consumption that occurs in the
building. The main goal of energy efficient building envelope should
minimize the heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Designing of
building envelope and its components plays a very important role to attain
energy efficiency of a building &reducing energy consumption without
compromising on user‟s comfort. As in today‟s scenario of the contemporary
office building visual comfort, thermal comfort, and physiological comfort
are the major concern while designing and office space. The type of
construction, material, use of latest energy efficient materials, and enhanced
construction techniques,orientation of the building , window to wall ratio,
roof top treatments, fenestration, daylight, thermal comfort, are the key
factors that determine contribute significantly towards the energy efficiency
of the building . The aim of this paper to describe the various components
that helps to achieve energy efficiency or high-performance office building.
Study will be carried out with the research papers and reviews of the past
researchers, author‟s guidelines and recommendation as per ECBC for
various building envelope. Further the design concept and types of building
envelope‟s transparent and opaque are discussed through various examples.
Selection of materials and their properties will also be discussed, since
material characteristics are a very important factor and design decisions
relating to material properties can greatly influence their performance as the
conductive heat gained by the materials majorly influence the comfort of the
office space and use of energy. The aim of the paper will be to conclude with
the importance of design components and its role with focus on materials in
designing building envelope of an office building.

Abstract : Globally, buildings consumes nearly half the energy of that is
produced. In India, buildings are responsible for largest share of CO₂
emissions (22%) in environment. The Life Cycle Energy (LCE) of a building
is made up of Embodied Energy (EE) and Operational Energy (OE). Out of
which, EE is of utmost importance as it has direct impact on environment
and natural resources, due to the amount of energy spent in extraction,
manufacturing and transportation of building materials, which in turn
contributes to considerable amount of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions.
While OE is the energy spent in operations throughout the life of a building
and depends greatly on how well the building envelop is designed and
climate responsive. With the technological advancements and awareness
towards the environment, the Green Building Rating Systems are providing a
pre-define set of instructions for constructing and maintaining environment
friendly and sustainable buildings. While, there still exists climate
responsive Vernacular style architecture, which can still be adopted in a new
way (Neo-vernacular) by fulfilling the needs of current generation. This
paper presents finding of the study conducted to know the environmental
impact of a Green Rated Home and a Neo-Vernacular Home by assessment
of EE specific to construction materials, with the help of four literature case
studies (of conventional houses and vernacular houses) and two live case
studies, in India. The data was collected through field observations,
measurements and by conducting interviews of the architect who designed
the sample houses. The results drawn show that the Neo-Vernacular home
consumes nearly half the EE required for a Green rated Home. Inspite of use
of green materials like AAC blocks with low EE, along with the other high
energy intensive materials like R.C.C., the overall energy consumption in
Green Rated Home resulted in high EE i.e., 1425 MJ/m², while Neo-
vernacular home has low EE i.e., 809.7 MJ/m².

Abstract : The main resource which is needed to survive on earth is Water.
Only 3% of the world's water is freshwater and the problem of water scarcity
is worldwide. Groundwater is the main source of domestic water
requirement in India and its overexploitation has led to water scarcity.
Because of rapid urbanization, land uses have changed which is affecting
low infiltration rates of rainfall into the soil and has diminished the natural
recharging of aquifers. Increased use and limited recharge have contributed
to the lowering of the water table. To respond to the growing crisis of
groundwater, the artificial recharge of aquifers has become widespread in
India. Thus, there is a need to study urbanizing areas for groundwater
recharge.
According to 2011, the Census of India, Pune district is the fifth urbanized
district in Maharashtra state. Rapidly increasing population in the Pune city
is creating a burden on natural resources like water. Pune city and its
neighboring villages which are urbanizing are already facing water scarcity
problems. The study area is Charholi, an ancient village near Alandi, in Pune
district adjacent to Pune city. The basic occupation of people living in
Charholi is farming So, maintaining the groundwater table is very important
in this village.
In this paper, the feasibility of Groundwater recharge for the Charholi area
was assessed. After the literature review, it was found that during the rainy
season groundwater table in this area is 2-5m but the level goes down up to
10m in the summer season. Also, case studies from Maharashtra were
studied to identify how effective groundwater recharge methods are and
which type of methods are suitable in this area. There are many artificial
methods for ground recharge but the relation between recharge methods,
geographical conditions and topography are studied. The research paper
gives various methods for ground water recharge in Charholi area.

Abstract : Productivity can be defined in many ways. Generally,
productivity means the efficiency in production. A company that minimizes
its input and maximizes its output has the highest productivity. Construction
productivity largely depends upon the performance of labours on-site.
Hence, labour productivity plays a crucial role in construction industry. This
research aims to study the labour productivity with respect to the groups of
labours assigned by contractors with their characteristics, number of working
hours per day, labour cost per day and work produced in a day. While other
industrial business have benefitted from a 100% increase in productivity,
construction industry has remained stagnant over the last 50 years.
Therefore, there is urgent need to tackle the problem. Labour productivity
mostly affects the quality and cost of the construction. It is one of the major
factors in the industry which can reduce the cost of construction by efficient
use of labours for various activities on site. In construction industry, 30-40%
of the overall project cost comprise of labour cost. The four major activities
selected for the study, which majorly affects the project are - Brickwork,
Plastering, Flooring and Waterproofing. The primary data was collected
from Pune, by interviewing five different contractors of the selected
activities. The productivity was calculated in sq.ft. / Hrs. for different
activities. Various factors affecting labour productivity were also found out
from interviews with concerned persons and literature reviewed. The study
reveals that by assigning appropriate group of efficient labours for particular
activity, maximum work can be produced per day without increasing the
labour force and labour cost.

Author 1 - Ar. Pinky Bhawani
Author 2 - Prof. Ashish Sakat
Abstract : Carbon sequestration involves the capture of CO2 from the
atmosphere and storage in the plant tissues in the form of carbohydrate by
the process of Photosynthesis. The biomass of the trees also increases and
can be computed to know the amount of Carbon sequestered. The
simultaneous growth in transportation sector has given a rise to various kinds
of pollutants, CO2 emission amongst the major one causing global warming.
In this paper, the research will be conducted about urban streets with respect
to climate, Carbon emission by vehicles and quality of plants and native
trees. The research will be carried based on the onsite traffic count and
sequestration value of the trees. Also, the impact of air pollution and dust, as
trees and shrubs are known to be natural sink for air pollutants.
The research will lead to conclude with at least 50% of vehicular carbon
emission being sequestered by the roadside proposed plantation. The trees
will also play a vital role in building ecosystem, providing healthy
environment, cutting down road glare and reducing health hazards and thus
ecological and economic benefits for local farmers, seeking potential to
reduce CO2 emission.
The mitigation of global warming caused due to carbon dioxide emission
from vehicular transportation is a challenge. However, terrestrial carbon
sequestration has received attention as promising course in an immediate
attempt to mitigate global warming. Although, many types of carbon
sequestration have been identified, this study focuses on trees sequestration.

Abstract : Industries in India are a major economic sources in the country.
These industries not only produce the commodity but also generate a large
amount of waste which affects the environment and the surroundiings. Most
of the industries are going for Zero Liquid Discharge in which the treatment
of waste would enable the industry to recover clean water using back into
industrial processes or domestic use and not subjecting to be disposed in
ambient environment including use in industrial premises. The major
polluting industries in India are paper and pulp, textile and distillery.
Distillery refers to production of Ethyl alchohol and other spirits from the
sugar cane molasses. There are 295 distilleries in India produce 2.7 billion
litres of alcohol and generating 40 billion litres of wastewater annually. This
highly aqueous, organic soluble containing residue is considered a
troublesome and potentially polluting waste due to its extremely high BOD
and COD values. This waste generated is highly organic in nature and is the
great source of material recovery.Central Pollution Board of India has the
prescribed the Zero Liquid Discharge standards for the distilleries in order to
make the treatment measures more efficient, recover water from the waste
and release less harmful chemicals into the environment. A couple of
distilleries were visited in Baramati, Maharashtra (second largest producer of
sugar and sugar molasses in the country) to understand the present scenario
of the waste treatment measures considered in the country.The treatment
measures in the live case study were assessed and analysed with respect to
the treatment measures given by CPCB to draw the viable solutions for the
treatment measures of spent wash and make the industry Zero Liquid
Discharge. This paper aims to compare the different treatment methods for
Zero Liquid Discharge for Distilleries in terms of Material recovery,
Efficiency of the Treatment, Pollution prevention, Disposal efficieny and
Speedy Treatment procedures.

Abstract : In the current scenario, Glass facades have become symbolic of
Modern Architecture and are supposed to impart character and status to High
Rise office buildings. Unfortunately, the same has become a source of many
problems arising in these buildings. Problems like deterioration of the
quality of indoor environment, increasing cooling loads on Air Conditioners,
increase in dependency of artificial lighting, etc are experienced by the
occupants in these buildings. These in the long run affect and disturb the
required thermal comfort conditions inside the building for the occupants
working throughout the dayand would be affected the most. These grave
consequences are the result of the stubbornness shown in the replication of
Western Architecture without giving a thought to the adaptability of glass in
a warm and humid Climatic zone like Navi Mumbai. Thus there is an
immediate need to replace glass with an alternative material without
compromising on the Aesthetics it offers.Nowadays High Performance
(Solar Control) glass is also available which could be a solution to some
extent.This paper discusses the probability of replacing glass with Building
Integrated Photovoltaic(BIPV) systems on facades which goes a step further
than just controlling Solar radiations. BIPV facades offer the advantage of
minimising the problems caused by glass facades and at the same time
generates Solar Energy. In this paper, a comparative analysis is carried out
between Glass (Clear, Tempered & High performance) and BIPV, based on
parameters like Solar heat gain, heat glare, U-value, UV Transmittance,
Solar Absorption, reflective Index, Shading Co-efficient and so is the
Costing to give a clear picture of the statistics involved. A conclusion is
derived based on the analysis of all the parameters which show that use of
BIPV is advantageous in thelong run,as it reduces the problems of glass
facades and provide a sustainable solution.

Abstract : Jaali as perforated screen for light and ventilation in buildings
have been extensively used in India. Similarly, Double skin facade is an
envelope construction comprising of two transparent skins separated by an
air corridor. It also integrates passive design strategies, such as natural
ventilation, daylighting and solar energy. The combination of these two
facades in the contemporary buildings is a passive design strategy and a
sustainable design solution. In today‟s time contemporary building designs
use Jaali as double screen façade as a passive method for natural ventilation
which controls the wind speed and daylight space inside the buildings. This
article aims to study the factors that affect Jaali screen façade and understand
the effect of Jaali as a passive strategy for building envelope for a composite
climate. The research studies on the topic shows that Jaali screens with 30%
to 50% perforation on South Facades in a composite climate/condition
provide an optimized energy savings and improved daylight quality in office
buildings. The study examines use of Jaali as double skin façade for office
building in Jaipur through literature reviews, case studies and façade
simulation in Ecotec / IESVE. The study focuses on the critical façade of the
building for the Jaipur city as per the climate analysis. The research also
explores the performance of Jaali screen façade as double skin facade in
terms of daylighting, natural ventilation and cooling (by shading). The
research outcomes will help architects in designing and understanding the
effect of Jaali as ventilation façade and its application in reduction of heat
gain from building envelope. It will also help in designing the right façade
for building as per the climatology and subsequent by use of Jaali as passive
strategy to furture reduce the heat gain and economise the energy savings.

Abstract : In recent years, we being more responsible towards global
warming and sustainability issues, the society senses towards use of natural
materials for construction.Constructing buildings is one of the important
aspect which heavily depends on steel. As steel is difficult to obtain because
of its expensive prices, usage of steel is limited heavily due to which the
developing countries are affected to some extent. Pollution of air and water
has been seen due to rapid development and production of materials like
steel, iron, glass, cement and aluminium that use limited mineral resources
which leads to environmental destruction.On the other hand, Bamboo is
expected to contribute significantly to earthquake-resistant construction and
seismic retrofit technology for developing countries as bamboo is found to
be low cost, fast growing and broad distribution of growth in Maharashtra,
India particularly. Bamboo is a unique group of gigantic grasses the culm of
which originates in underground rhizomes. Plants and fibers are annually
reproducible clean resources. Bamboo is also found good in tension and
bending properties, so it can be used as reinforcement in cement concrete for
low cost constructions.The study aims at different types of bamboo easily
available in Maharashtra and further study the mechanical properties for the
same.Case Study - Design of twostoreyed bamboo reinforced concrete
building, considering the same parameters of bamboo for further types of
bamboo selection for construction.
The outcome of research will allow us to understand the advantages and
disadvantages, mechanicalproperties, analysis of bamboo types which can be
suitable of construction and be used/replaced as reinforcement preferably
in rural areas. The local materials available gives a cultural experience in the
development of the construction methods and techniques.

Abstract: As the urban areas of cities are sprawling with migration of
population, which is increasing rapidly by giving rise to replacement of land
use by deforestation, degradation, agriculture shift , devaluing native flora
fauna, etc. to concrete jungles. This type of rapid development of the city is
harming to the ecological cycle of the urban system of the city. As Pune is
trying to become carbon neutral city by 2030 ,it is trying to reduce its carbon
emission by adopting all its measures like use of sustainable resources ,
preservation of natural resources, alternatives to fossil fuels, tree planation (
carbon sink) etc. The city is well surrounded by hills and forest cover, which
makes it a ranked greener city of India.
This study mainly focuses on the carbon sink of the city and how well they
can act as a carbon sequester,if carbon sinks are well studied and planned, it
can be managed to make carbon as a resource for the better ecological
system of the city.The concept of carbon sink is to capture carbon by
growing trees. The Pune city, in hurry to accomplish its carbon neutrality by
2030, started growing native trees which a good step is taken with active
support of the citizens. But there is a broad thinking for carbon sink in other
countries, which talks about the grasslands and its importance in carbon sink
and how ecology plays important role in sequestration with respect to
grassland.
India has a long history and connection with its grassland and its ecological
system. Due to the invaders and influence of the western culture, the country
has lost its heritage of worshiping nature and rural –urban relationship. In
this paper the research is aiming to recall and establish a lost heritage of
country, which has emerged as a solution for the carbon sequestration, which
will also try to open up connections, linkages with government and support
given to public for better establishing relation with biodiversity. The
research will mainly focus on the solutions for the better carbon sink, which
is well thought for acceptance and to value the principles of sustainability i.e.
social, economical and environmental dimensions of the city.

Abstract: Urban island effect is a heat accumulate phenomenon within
urban area. The urban heat island (UHI) effect might cause extreme weather,
which would seriously affect people‟s health, increase energy consumption
and cause other negative impacts. One of the main causes of UHI is the
replacement of natural surfaces by built surfaces through urbanization that
affects the overall area temperature and human comfort. The temperature
difference between urban areas and the surrounding suburban or rural areas
can be as much as 5 °C. To reduce urban heat island effect vegetation plays
major role. The introduction of green patches in urban areas can be
considered as a good remedy to urban heat island effect. Trees are a
necessary feature in combating most of the urban heat island effect because
they reduce air temperatures by 5.6 °C and surface temperatures by up to 11–
25 °C. The objective of the study is to investigate the role of green patches to
reduce urban heat island effect.
Key words: Green patches, urban heat island, vegetation

Abstract : Worldwide, and specifically in India, the overall energy
consumption is witnessing anexponential growth. According to recent
surveys, buildings contribute to around 30-40% ofoverall energy
consumption. Electrical consumption currently in commercial buildings
inIndia is about 8% of the total supply. Designing and operating buildings in
an energyefficient manner is hence the need of the hour, and also leads to
several benefits such asenergy cost savings and contributing to sustainability.
Amongst the building typologies,hospitality buildings are responsible for
very high energy consumption due to high qualityservices to guests. The
sector is witnessing unprecedented growth owing to better
spendingcapability of local population, demand from tourism and increase in
overall travel in thecountry. This leads to significant rise in energy
consumption, especially during peak hoursin various metro cities and tourist
destinations. The hospitality industry can significantlyreduce energy use
without compromising on the quality services and benefit greatly fromcost
savings. Along with energy, water consumption by the hospitality industry is
also beingseen as a matter of concern, and ways are being thought to reduce /
optimize the waterconsumption. Hence, selecting a hotel project for the
study was considered, as it addressesall these issues building, using
advanced energy simulation tools, and intends to recommend low-cost
andmedium-cost energy conservation measures to optimize the performance
and also put forthrecommendations for major retrofits of building equipment
like HVAC, motors, etc.

Abstract : Construction projects have undergone lot of innovations to
improvise the quality, costing and also the end product throughout the
lifecycle of the project. These innovations have increased the use of energy
in different forms. Green technological innovations and applications have
permitted us to reduce this use of energy to a considerable extent but these
are majorly focused on the energy use after the completion of project.
Residential sector for India alone, has predicted the rise of more than twice
increase in floor area compared to the current residential floor area till 2060
according to the UN Environment and International Energy Agency. With
the recent signed Paris agreement there are increased pressures on the
construction industry to reduce usage of energy in Construction process.
Given the potential quantum of rise of residential sector, the Construction
energy requirement is going to increase more than twice of today‟s
requirement. Green Building Certification Agencies like LEED & GRIHA
are more focused on the energy usage after the construction process. Also,
awareness about these facts, quantum of energy involved, implications and
measures for energy usage during construction is somewhere lacking in the
construction professionals. Hence, this paper focuses on finding out and
understanding the attitudes, approaches, inclinations, barriers behind
improvising the energy efficiency in the construction process for residential
projects at Satara. A questionnaire survey was conducted amongst the
construction process decision makers to elicit information pertaining to
energy usage. The findings of this study focus on key processes to improve
efficiency will guide the decision makers as well as policy makers to
channelize attention and bridge the gap towards energy usage during
construction.

Abstract: Daylighting has a significant role in the field of renewable energy
in terms of reducing the use of electricity, which has been significantly
increasing in many countries . It is estimated that buildings are one of the
main sources of power consumption and greenhouse gas emissions where
most of the energy is utilized to create a thermally and visually comfortable
built environment. Daylight in any building, does not mean to provide
opening only.
The greater penetration of natural light reduction in use of artificial light
during day. This study aims at finding the best possible technologies to bring
daylight inside the museum. Daylighting is usually preferred due to
psychological, physiological, and economic purposes.
Fiber-optic daylighting systems have been shown to be a promising and
effective way to transmit sunlight in the interior space while reducing
electric lighting energy consumption. As a result, the proposed daylighting
system turns out convenient in terms of energy saving and reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions. Daylighting of the interior spaces of buildings
and their functionally defined parts is proposed according to visual
activities.This article reviews the basicfundamentals and different
technologies of daylightingsystems available in themarket.

Abstract : Office buildings are designed according to their Occupant needs
and functions. Green rated office buildings are supposed to provide comfort
to its occupants and have minimum impact on the environment, both indoor
and outdoor. GRIHA and IGBC are two rating systems mostly used in India.
Various criteria specify how comfort conditions can be met in the indoor and
reduce impact on the environment. Accordingly, the buildings are awarded
ratings. Perceived comfort is a major factor that affects occupant‟s
performance in an office environment. However, this seems to be a neglected
area in green rating systems. This research presents findings of study
conducted to understand occupant‟s perception of Thermal comfort in IGBC
rated office buildings. It uses Post Occupancy Analysis method for
evaluating occupant comfort in a Green rated office building in Pune, India
which is selected as a case. It measures objectively the parameters affecting
thermal comfort and analyses occupant‟s subjective response through
surveys and interviews in two spaces in the same office with different
layouts and orientation. The survey questions and interviews were taken
from a sample of 20 occupants in each office space. The results suggest that
Green building rating criteria are insufficient to fully capture comfort needs
of the occupants and need holistic understanding of occupant‟s perception.
Along with designing, management of the building systems is important area
that affects comfort conditions in an office building which requires further
research.

Abstract : Coastal areas play a vital role in socio-economic growth of any
country as they provide great opportunities for natural resources based
economic activities such as fisheries, tourism, Marine transport. The coastal
region of India is highly affected by climate changes, developmental
activities and urbanisation. Survival of primary stakeholders, the fishing
communities and preserving the health of coastal ecosystem and biodiversity
is a significant challenge.The threats caused directly or indirectly by influx
of marine litter are extensive, having substantial environmental, social and
economic impacts. Presence of abandoned fishing nets or ghost nets is a
significant global threat to benthic fauna & aqua life such as marine
mammals, fishes, birds. They are found in an enormous amount in sea due to
their entanglement in rocks, tearing of old nets during fishing and presence
of abandoned fishing nets. Being non-biodegradable, they remain non-
disposed in marine environment for hundreds of years & accumulate in small
disintegrated parts. Shifting of fishing nets from natural to synthetic fibres
shows hazardous implications such as impact on marine life due to
entanglement & ingestion, threat to human health having seafood as prime
food, ecological imbalance due to destruction of habitat for marinebiota,
hazards to navigation i.e. for shipping and aesthetically detrimental causing
loss to business such as tourism. The material used is commonly plastic or
nylon fibres such as Polyethylene, Polypropylene, High-density polyethylene
etc. They are either made of mono or multifilament threads. The netting yarn
is composed of three principle types which are twisted, braided, and knotless
threads.Being non-biodegradable & possessing fibrous properties waste
fishing nets can be used as building material as a sustainable approach. This
paper highlights a need to establish above issues and find the ways to
implement waste fishing nets in construction.
