Rethink human habitats, at a time when the fight for life and climate. The objective is to design our living environment, at whichever scale most interests them to promote and protect human life: how to rethink our bodies, how to design the objects that surround us, how to redesign the homes that we inhabit, what functions they must incorporate, how to grow communities or re-naturalize public spaces, how to reinvent our cities taking advantage of digital communications in times of confinement and broadly how we define our relationships with others in a time of changes. The design inspire reflection on how we can accelerate our future using design in order to respond to the health, energy, food, production, environmental or social challenges of the coming years. The design incorporate innovative methord to increase the energy efficiency which make the residense comlex net positive building. In order to make that, the building Called eco-trees, they behave as vertical gardens - generating solar power, acting as exhaust air towers for nearby recreational dome, and collecting rainwater.

THE SITE/ The site, with its slopes and views, is perfectly suited for bringing an experience of the native landscape to this urban condition.
THE ORIENTATION/ Possible heights and orientation of the buildings considering surroundings and sun exposition.
WINDFLOW AND ACCESS/ The gapes between the building allows to flow wind unobstracted. creating a site wide accessible path network from east to west.
THE PROGRAMMING/ The ecotree building and dome bring sustainability to the planning by heating acnd cooling opportunities and retention of rainwater. Portfolio | Ganesh Meena
When its run off water trickel into the lake system then the water is used to irrigate the botanical garden reducing the dependecy on national supply. The solar panels hidden on the top of the ecotree, genertate electricity. The temperature control recreational dome is made of selective glass, which let in light and reflect heat, reduce the energy rquired to cool the dome. The woody biomass waste is collected and burnt into biomass boiler to generate steam , that generates electricity which helps power tree residence complex.
To maximise the use of heat created by the process, is to dehumidify the air supplied to the dome. The heat captured from electricity generation also powers inhouse cillers producing chill water that flows through the pipes under the dome floors. THis helps the stable layer of cool air at the ground layer , forcing warmer air to move up. The ash producing from the burning process is used to improve the soil quality.

Designing ahead of time is necessary. Our world is changing. Imagine Miami Beach permanently underwater, hurricanes constantly clashing against Manhattan, devastating droughts in London, and heatwaves that render Barcelona unlivable. A future like this currently occupies our imagination but inches closer to reality each day. As a "Reaction" countering the global warming, an underwater skyscraper has been devised.The continually changing climate, contamination of water bodies and low tide form the rationale for the depleting coral reefs. The water bodies tend to be swallowing the land. Hence, the 'coral scrapers' would function as a catalyst and, promote the growth of coral reefs. The lifecycle of the coral scraper is defined by its 'ability to adapt. The versatile form will allow it to adapt to the water body once, completely immersed into water. Back to Basics; Back to waterlife originated in the marine bodies and, when need be we need to return there. The growth of plastic waste and oil spills in the ocean is already at alarming rate, therefore an innovative technology .

Design should respond to its social cultural aspect of site. The interpretation centre is the new cultural paradigm that allows the idea of the “contemporary� within an expanded time frame, linking the history and geographic festivals and events, and art into the future. The centre interpretates the cultural and historical aspects of jaipur. The site is located in front of jal mahal , which draws thousands of visitors from all over the world every year owing to the status of heritage. There is a need for a interpretation center in the city that could represent the city's mythology and rich cultural heritage for which it is renowned. Visitors or even local citizens visiting jal mahal do not have a center where they can receive knowledge on history, folklore and mythology, etc. There is a need of interpretation center in the city , from which people can easily relate themselves and would also be able to learn & know the various facts related to the cultural heritage & mythology of their city (especially at one place) through exhibitions, workshops, and cultural programs.
Portfolio | Ganesh Meena
THE SITE/ The site, with its slopes and view, towards the Jal mahal , perfectly suitable landscape and better experience.
ZONNING/ The site, is divided into landscape areas and building and the other half is for future development and parking.
PLANNING/ The interpretation centre divide into 3 blocks, facing towards the north, having view of Jal mahal.
THE PROGRAMMING/
Portfolio | Ganesh Meena
The Interpretation center bring sustainability by the orientation and the windflow and by the form.
The site is located in front of jal mahal , which draws thousands of visitors from all over the world every year. The design gathers a exhibition hall, public spaces, nature, people, and sculptures as part of one realm. The design incorporating the multiple interests surrounding our site to create an inclusive architecture – a seamless merging between the city and the garden .
Open areas where people can stay freely and gradually shift from art, nature, and public spaces while wandering through the architecture .Support local artists and art forms through workshop and exhibitions. Closer proximty to the tourist give the shops more exposer.

Urban sprawl so far that most of the people lose all the touch with nature. Increasing population of present cities caused rapid decline in their attractivenesseven more important human-environmental interaction. resulting in sprawling of concrete jungles with smoke, noise and water scarcity,moreover Fast packed and clumsy life of metropolitan cities have mode impossible for people to have time for interpersonal relationship. The aim was to design a self-sufficient unit that would not require any connection to the local technical infrastructure. The design follows the idea of minimalism achieving the better design through simplicity -a simplicity of form, space, materiality, detail and color. It also shows restraint and carefully pairing down and editing of spaces to get a place of clarity.

THE SITE/ The site, with its slopes and views, toward the Baspa river.
THE ORIENTATION/ Orientation of the buildings considering surroundings and sun exposition and wind flow.
THE VIEW/ The block was bent , in order to optimise the views with respect to the surrounding.
THE PROGRAMMING/ The spaces were arranged which perfectly suited for bringing an experience of the native landscape.

The site is situated in the Chitkul district of Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh, on the banks of the Baspa River. Rampur, which is 117 km away, is the nearest city. The site can only be reached by means of road networks. The last village on the old Hindustan Tibet trade route is Chitkul, the last point in India to which no one can move without a permit. The place remains mostly covered with snow during the winters, and the inhabitants migrate to the lower Himachal regions Similar to the summer triangle asterism that is visible clearly in the summer sky through the site the three main spaces of the house form an imaginary triangle..
The design combines an open floor plan and plenty of natural light, through the glass facade of the bungalow, with the contrast of dark wood floors to create a particularly light, open, airy feeling.The bedroom block has been tilt-ed to provide a better view of the river through the adjacent faces and receive morning sun.. All of the newest and sustainable technologies from the energetic industry were implemented into this project in order to save and produce as much energy as possible.
