ARCHITECTURE ARCHITECTURE
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”. Writers: Associate : Deeksha HR, 5th Sem Sub-ordinate : Arpita Kurahatti, 3rd Sem
ABSTRACT: One of the remarkable phases of Modern Architecture is “Minimalism‟. This movement concerns with stripping away the unwanted details and defines the true essence of any given architectural element. It prevailed among architects who purposed simplicity, transparency, and spirituality. Its spaces interact with nature which makes users enter an atmosphere of reverence, asceticism, and silence. The problem is; 'Minimalist' approach witnessed a clear progress in art, décor, and interior design but got quite disappeared in architecture; just few architects who still design projects depending on it. This paper, therefore, aims to read and interpret the language of 'Minimalism' in architecture, understanding which design elements should be used to give a space the character of being 'minimal'. To achieve this aim, the paper tries to uncover the philosophy of 'Minimalism', its origins, and extracts its design criteria In 'Minimalism', nature became architecturalized through clear spaces and simple geometries. It creates a strong dialogue between elements of architecture and elements of nature.
INTRODUCTION: As Leonardo da Vinci says- Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Minimalism is a term that involves the use of simple design elements, without ornamentation or decoration. Minimalistic architecture focus on the connection between two perfect planes, elegant lighting, and the void spaces left by threedimensional shapes in an architectural design. Minimalistic has took architecture into mere optimistic style. Usage of different materials without ornamentation, glass, steel, reinforced concrete is the main materials used in minimalistic architecture. We see very basic simple geometric shapes and solid forms with small openings.
Minimalism believe that condensing the content and form of a design to its bare essentials, reveals the true essence of architecture.
Minimalist architecture aims to be,
Simple, limited and plain materials. Pure geometric forms. Neat and straight components. Repetition to give absence of order and unification. open spaces ‘clean’ lines
Domus Aurea House filled with golden light
Domus Aurea is a minimalist modern home located in Monterrey, Mexico. For a Spanish architect Alberto Champo Beazer is a privilege to build a house in monetary, to build a TEC lottery house is amazing. The best part of this project is Barragan s presence (Mexican architect) It’s a stark white surfaces obstructed by a golden wall that lights the interior of the home is designed to visualize that their house is not only flooded with light but also it would be the golden light of Barrangan. The process of the project began with concentrating two spaces of double height which results to creating a dialogical space. Building the high vertical walls where all the south light would fall and fill it with much- covered golden hue. The blank facades of wall covered in gold leaf, oriented to reflect light from the south that comes inside through a tall window even though there are no visible windows to the street.
The house is divided into three planes. The ground floor is comprises of the most public areas. Verandas and shaded area continued through garden area. The upper floor occupied with bedrooms and living area taking the over view of the lower floor. The higher roof top level was of more private areas, including summing-pool.
NEO-MINIMALISM
INTRODUCTION Minimalism/minimalist architecture co-relates with simplicity, clarity or even transparency. „‟The term minimalism is also used to describe a trend in design and architecture, where in the subject is reduced to its necessary elements‟‟. Minimalism exhibits involvement of simple design elements, zero to no ornamentation. The thought process behind this type of architecture is „‟less is more‟‟ quote by ar. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, where providing contemporary design elements that serves justice to its purpose and not seem extravagant
Writers: Associate : Sharvari Y, 5th Sem Sub-ordinate : Arundati R, 3rd Sem
INTERIORS Minimalist interiors implies more space with less to no furniture. Furniture in other spaces acts as transitioners or separators while here it jells into space. Consideration of texture, color, form, shape, prevails over purpose. Furniture's with upholstered end are used more in such type of interiors. Flooring and wall are usually preferred to be made out of shiny surface materials that are easy to clean and are minimal.
A space gives out certain ambience, furniture's, color determines the type of emotions one possess‟ or experiences during his/her stay there. Hence providing Minimalism incorporates three simple principles: minimal ornamentation and furniture gives an honest and transparent connection to the one in it and the space Preservation monochromatic which is very important, hence minimalism gives out a Unification very sensitive understanding towards these aspects. Reduction to essential Ornamentation is usually the representation of emotions that we possess such as happiness anger etc, with the usage of colors projections sculptures etc. But in minimalism such ornamentation is avoided keeping it vastly monochromatic in terms of emotions which is a representation of calmness or peace. It also implies to move away from alternate perceptions and experience reality more directly. The colors and elements used in this type of architecture helps in bringing together the design as one single picture, wherein each and every element is complimentary to other. Minimalism was the reaction to abstract expressionism, which was a post/world war ii art movement in American painting, developed in New York in the 1940s. Minimalism was hugely influenced by Japanese traditional design and architecture.
NEO MINIMALISM Neo minimalism is an amorphous art movement of the late 20th and early 21st century this movement not just involved the physical properties but also the spiritual dimension, attention to details, space etc. In architecture neo-minimalism has been identified as a part of “the new orthodoxy”
Ar. LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE
Mies van der Rohe (1886 to 1969) a German American architect, also known as the „father of minimalist architecture‟. Mies believes in working with simple form and open/multifunctional plans. His buildings were free of ornamentation. He coined the term ‘’less is more’’.
His designs consist usage of transparent materials to prevent the creation of any sort of barriers between the interiors and exteriors. Which also create a seamless flow between to worlds. Mies‟ architecture has been described as being sophisticated. His designs were contemporary with a touch of modern architecture.

Farnsworth house is a paradigm of minimalist architecture. This house was built for Dr Edith Farnsworth, the purpose of this house was to serve as a getaway and provide solitary environment for her.
The location plays of prominent role in the design the house being located amidst nature and on the banks of river fox gives it a unique sense of approach. Illinois has a very vivid type of Climate called „Humid continental climate‟ which has both hot summers and thunderstorms causing floods in the river. Due to the floods of river fox the house has been elevated on top of pillars which is also a sign of purity according to the architect. This aspect was taken inspiration from the Japanese architecture, which is considered as the origin of minimalist architecture.
As we can see the structure does not have any solid walls the architect intense to provide the nature as the best wallpaper one can have. This house simbolieses the transparency and a seamless flow between the two world.
STRUCTURE: The structure is supported by 8 columns, separated by a distance of 6.6m which supports the two slab which forms the roof and the floor.
The structure is meticulously crafted with beams an columns which also has a steel framework which supports the cement slabs. The facade consist of panels of glass which run from floor to ceiling.
INFERENCE MERITS: Standing by the phrase „‟having more by owning less”. By using neutral shades and incorporating monochromatic feel gives very pleasant feel to viewers‟ eye. This also increases high aesthetic value. The structure and design are easy to understand. Declutters and let go of materials to make way for the meaningful. DEMERITS: This style lacks individuality making structures seem. Very similar to each other. The modest the style the cheaper it looks. Since there is less furniture being used investment on multifunctional furniture leads to more expenses. Since being monochromatic is given more importance there is lack of emphasis on particular features.
CONCLUSION: INTERIORS The main factor about the interior space is the absence of walls. The central core structure is the only solid structure that runs from ceiling to floor which is used for sanitary purpose an also acts as a transition between the kitchen and bedroom. The central structure acts as a contrary to the glass and steel since it is made out of plywood. The bathroom vents and chimney flue travels through the roof and exits into the exterior in a very discrete manner. The furniture's used for the interiors are the only type of transitions we can see to separate the purpose of each space.
Since Farnsworth house is considered as the paradigm of minimalist architecture, the structure depicts the emotions the architect possess towards his work. The transparency depicts the sensitivity Mies possessed towards architecture. The structure also breaks stereotypes and norms of being a residential building, due to which it had face ups and downs. One of the main let downs of the structure is that it fails one of the main purposes its serves as a residential building. I.E privacy, even though the structure stands out for its delicate and unique design. It fails to be a livable space. Due to the presence of glass panels running from floor to ceiling throughout the structure therein lack of air conditioning which creates sort of greenhouse effect on the interiors during summer. Regardless of all these the Fransworth house still makes an exceptional example.
Spirituality In Minimalism ABSTRACT: This provides us a thought about the architect Tadao Ando and one among his famous works - the church of sunshine which may be a great example of minimalist architecture. Keywords— church of light, ar. Tadao Ando, minimalist architecture, japan.
Writers: Associate : Tayyaba SD, 7th Sem Sub-ordinate : Akanksha A, 3rd Sem
Primarily working with concrete, Ando focuses on creating what he calls “nothingness”, which he states gives people something to ponder.
INTRODUCTION : Within the 1960s & 1970s, minimalism began as an artistic movement after war II and rose to prominence as a design aesthetic. Ar. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, being the primary leader of minimalist design, and his basic, yet striking structures are constructed simply to maximize space and a sense of openness. Minimalist architecture strives to convey the message of simplicity: clean and sharp spaces. The essential geometric forms, elements without decoration, simple materials and therefore the repetitions of structures represent a way of order and essential quality. The right use of light and shadows pays a really important role in minimalism.
THE CHURCH OF LIGHT THE CHURCH of light (Ibaraki Kasugaoka Church) built (1989 to 1999) within the town of Ibaraki, Osaka prefecture about 25 kilometers outside of Osaka city.
CONCEPT: This church is seen as an area of retreat where the surface world is forgotten and therefore the wildlife is emphasized during a rather abstract manner, that is, Ando's control of the light. This church beckons the elemental simplicity of Christianity with its low-tech, yet powerful design.
ABOUT THE ARCHITECT: Born on 13 September 1941, (Minato-ku, Osaka, japan) Tadao Ando may be a Japanese self-taught architect whose works are inspired by „critical regionalism‟. Design philosophy: Tadao Ando‟s style of architecture emphasizes nothingness and empty space to represent the sweetness of simplicity. He favors designing complex spatial circulation while maintaining the looks of simplicity. He seeks to reaffirm architecture's natural form within the building‟s immediate location, and relevant local traditions within the face of modernity‟s theme of international clichés which approach consumerism.
TOTAL AREA : 838.8 m2 BUILT AREA : 113 m2 Height : 7.24 m. Material : Ferroconcrete Details : The Church of the sunshine consists of three 5.9m concrete cubes (5.9 m wide × 17.7 m long × 5.9 m high) penetrated by a wall angled at 15°, dividing the cube into the chapel and therefore the entrance area. A cruciform is dig the concrete behind the altar, and lit during the day. A smooth surface was achieved by adopting a dense engineering quality mix with a slump but 15cm (6in) and by ensuring thorough vibration with a minimum protect the reinforcing bars of 5cm (2in) to avoid weathering problems and stains. The density of the concrete leads to a glass-like surface that registers the various qualities of light, and tends to dematerialize it. Because Ando's concrete is so precisely wrought then smooth and reflective, it produces an illusion of a taut, textile surface instead of presenting it as an important earthbound mass.
CONCLUSION: The humbleness of the materials (rough concrete, metal and glass) and furniture, the poetry of the geometry enhanced by the dramatic use of sunshine offers a special experience of beauty and spirituality. Tadao Ando once more demonstrates his mastery during this simple building, achieving an ideal unity of matter and spirit, reflecting the very essence of Christianity, but expressing it through the simplicity of Zen Buddhism.

FAÇADE PARAMETRIC- TERRAMETRIC INTRODUCTION: The word parametric generally strikes us with term “Fluidity“ and designs like this:
But in reality fluidity is just one of the parameters; it alone doesn‟t interpret parametric design. WHAT IS PARAMETRIC ARCHITECTURE? WHAT DOES WORD PARAMETRIC MEANS?? Parametric means relating to or expressing through an independent variable (changes on which will result in a different outcome). Pioneer: Italian Ar. Luigi Moretti. He is one of the Meta architects who used mathematics to create new shapes. Brick Façade and Sustainable Parametric Design: To reduce the harsh impacts on environment and its resources due to constant development many ecofriendly and sustainable materials and techniques have been developed and implemented to our daily life. Façades, as a building‟s inevitable part and envelope, structure the outer skins of buildings as a foreseen image and inventive desire. As they are in direct contact with the surrounding they have a huge impact on the performance and efficiency sustainable adequacy of the building. Parametric design provides many possibilities of controlling these factors from an early stage which improves structural stability, buildings‟ performance regarding to its environment and make it economical along with aesthetics. Ex: Dynamic facades, bio mimicry facades, photo voltaic glass unit facades etc. using various materials. These are practiced as they fulfil the general factors of sustainability i.e. locally resource, strength, workability, energy efficiency. “Design is nothing but a humble understanding of materials, a natural instinct for solutions and respect for nature” - Ar. B.V. Doshi
Writers: Associate : Sowbhagya S, 7th Sem Sub-ordinate : Md Idrees Khan, 3rd Sem
BUT TO WHAT EXTENT THESE ARE SUSTAINABLE? ARE THEY REALLY SUSTAINABLE? In today‟s growing scarcity of space and resources it is important to use them effectively. It is important to choose the most appropriate method, to do that we should keep in mind that sustainability is perceived variously. In bigger picture sustainability is defined by “The embodied energy of the materials”. Embodied energy inspects both obvious and hidden factors that contribute to material's sustainability i.e. the overall energy needed and used to extract the material. Due to their workability and mechanical strength non- conventional building materials (steel, GRFC etc.) are used.

Shebeli tower
In 30-40 years when these materials become debris or disposed how they will impact the nature. Most of these materials require high energy for their manufacturing process and as well for their recycling. In this dynamic world it is clever to think of future aspects such as -Not only how credibly the materials act but also to consider how useful they will be as debris for future use and to avoid eco contamination. Keeping this crucial factor in mind a new concept called “TERRAMETRIC” has been originated to accomplish sustainability truly This concept focuses on developing algorithms applicable with vernacular materials such as bamboo, bricks, sheep‟s wool, recycled metal and wood etc. Damavand is an ancient and historic city with long hot dry summers and short cool winters and occasional snow fall. Here we can see many heritage monuments (tombs, ruins, bridges, and bath houses) constructed using indigenous materials for better insulation and thermal comfort. Shebeli tower (fig1) is one of the famous monuments near to the project‟s site made up of limestone and brick with intricate brick pattern.
APT No.7 Studio Moon. As a perfect example to that an apartment in Iran has been constructed. Project name: APT No.7 Studio Moon. Location : Damavand (50 miles west of Tehran capital city of Iran), Iran. Client : Z. Jabarpour and R. Naghavi. Iranian Architectural Architect : Sstudiomm – firm led by Hossein Naghavi. Construction:Behest Construction Co. , Sstudiomm. Completed year: 2018 Type of building: apartment (4 storeys). Area : around 100sqm. Speciality of building: Self standing parametric Veneer wall connected to the main structure.
Negative Precision: Sstudiomm was assigned to design luxurious apartments with a tight budget in this locality. The Sstudiomm which has been researching about how to create a paradigm which explore amalgamation of parametric design and modelling with Iran‟s local resources to achieve innovative facades, textures, walls through on site construction, converted this challenge into an opportunity. They considered all these parameters and came up with a concept based on terrametrics called “NEGATIVE PRECISION” and have developed a pattern inspired by Shebeli‟s tower.
Designing Process: A regular brick wall with required surface area has been created. Then a persuaded “X” shaped pattern from the Shebeli‟s tower is produced using Grasshopper by rotating the bricks on the basis of their distance from the surface. The outcome of this is a stack bond brick veneer wall; with bricks rotation is inside a determined 18 degree to form that bond .
Brick veneer is a system, in which the front brick wall is attached to the structure behind it which carries both structure load and of bricks, attached through wood sheathing and metal clips. But here due to rotation of bricks few bricks hangout the overlapping surface so to increase the stability of wall in addition to mortar in between the bricks, the space between wall and back structure is filled with reinforced concrete, and the façade bricks are nailed with metal bars connecting to the back structure. This has resulted in a firm wall on which one can climb. These stacked bricks are sandwiched by galvanized metal sheet at top and bottom portion to increase their structural stability
Designing and Construction of Façade: To enable hand fabrication the parametric data has been extracted and transferred to excel file which gives a clear idea through colour coding for different rotation. Using this data to make arrangements easy precise aluminium stencils are created by laser cutting. Positive stencils are used for placement of bricks with less gap and negative stencils at spots with larger gap.
Advantages: Due to creation of “X”shaped pattern by rotation of bricks a façade with undulated surfaces and a distinctive texture has been generated. This undulated surface helps in breaking the impact of air gust . The water collected at the bottom of the wall is drained out through weep holes and either drained out through weep holes or used for rain water harvesting. The veneer brick wall avoids direct incidence of harsh sun light to increase thermal insulation. The building has other sustainable materials such as indigenous rocks for fencing, timber etc.
To avoid rain water seepage into the building at the bottom of wall cavity a metal flashing is provided to collect it.
Conclusion : Majority of humans being level headed try to dominate over nature and exploit it to exhibit their supremacy resulting in annihilation of us as well as of world. So it is important to think acutely and know our place in nature and to be as close to it as possible i.e. observing the benefits given by nature and making use of it properly. Terrametric design is one of those productive designing approach for current and future world. The very point which makes terrametric sustainable is also capable of becoming demerit i.e. the natural materials.
PARAMETRIC-SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Abstract: This will provide a comprehensive overview of the parametric methodologies which were essential to the design and development of the Hangzhou tennis centre which is located in Hangzhou china. It is a 10,000 seated tennis centre which is a part of Hangzhou Olympic stadium. To design the exterior, an integrated parametric system was created to conceptualize, simulate, and document the complex geometric systems. Envelope depends on a particular arrangement of sculptural steel trusses which give shade and house the field's Specialized frameworks. To structure the outside, an incorporated parametric framework was made to conceptualize, re-enact, and record the complex geometric frameworks. For conceptualization, the parametric framework was set up to expressly characterize the control surface geometry and study formal varieties. Material science recreation devices were utilized to test essential auxiliary conduct.

Parametric-sustainable architectural design: In simple using parametric with sustainable architectural design. Sustainable architecture that meets the necessities of the present without trading off the capacity of people in the future to address their own issues. One of those necessities is vitality for warming, cooling, lighting and hardware of structures. Reasonable sustainability is perplexing. Numerous perspectives, diversely imperative to numerous partners, are to be improved.
Parametric architecture: Parametric design (architecture) is design based on algorithms. Calculations that are plugged into various external quantitative factors, such as environmental conditions that allows the aspect of parameters and rules that define, clarify and encode the relationship between design aim and response. Parametric design creates efficiency, improves accuracy, and as stated allows you to create work that can be like cookie cutter you can use many times as part of other design projects. It's possible to create more efficient designs, optimize buildings, and explore more options! What exactly is parametric design? The word „parametric‟ originated from the latin word „parametrum‟. It is defined as a set of rules and guidelines that govern a system or a process. These parameters are the input we as architects are meant to provide. What's more, the best case of a parametric model that can control geometry and create varieties by changing its boundaries and it has variable attributes(parameters) and fixed traits ( requirements).
THE HANGZHOU TENNIS CENTER Project details : Location : Hangzhou ,Republic of China. Topography : The city of Hangzhou lies on flat land. It lies on 14m above sea level. Building type: Stadium (tennis centre) Owner : Chinese government. Area occupied : 400,000 sq. M Building utilized : 220,000 sq. M Designed by : NBBJ . Structural design : CCDI Project started : 2011. Project completed : 2015 Seats provided : 10,000 Parametric type: Parametric sustainable architecture design. Diameter : 136 m Radius : 66 M Steel used : it uses 60% less steelapproximately 16,000 tons versus 40,000 tons. Main material used : Kalzip ,polycarbonate.
PROJECT CONTEXT WHY DID DESIGNERS USE PARAMETRIC DESIGN FOR THIS BUILDING? Its for two rational reasons: To Find Suitable Innovative Skin. To Reduce The Steel Consumption For The Structure and design.
CLIMATE : The city Hangzhou climate is rather humid ‚ also hot, oppressive ,wet and mostly cloudy. The winter are usually very cold and partly cloudy. Through the span of the year, temperature normally differs from 34 ⁰ F to 93⁰ F and is once in a while under 26 ⁰ F or above 100⁰ F.
Why petal form? This structure consists of 24 truss modules arranged around circular arc. Arranged in the form of flower‟s petals. This large form is capable to enclose seating bowl & provided shelter for seating's. They also provided adequate amount of shade & rain protection for seated bowl. ACTIVATING THE SITE: The site plan is composed of three layers of activity. • An above-grade platform defines the “sports boulevard,” which links programs such as the main stadium and tennis tournament facilities together. • On the ground level, pathways, gardens and plazas form a network of public recreation activities designed for alternative and extreme sports. • Sunken spaces and courtyards lead to an extensive below-grade retail pavilion containing boutique stores, restaurants and a multiplex cinema
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN USE OF MATERIAL ：
CONCEPT: Envelope Geometry, the Concept was inspired by „PETAL‟ . It‟s mainly based on double curve surface. This double curve surface are arranged along the circular arc. Which finally took form of arranged petal. The objective of the concept was to model an envelope that provides enough shadow on the bowl, protects spectators from the rain, and affords covered space for mechanical equipment and lighting devices.
&
• Perforated metal plates, able to meet the graceful curved surface petal molding of the stadium, are adopted as the main surface material of the awning, supported by the highly advanced, thin and transparent ETFE material. • The elegant and graceful forms and the interspersed and integrated materials have rendered the stadium changeable with outer environment and created its clear demarcation of virtually and reality, its rich layers and its changeable charms.
SUSTAINABILITY IN THE PARAMETRIC BUILDING： Full consideration of vitality use, control and vitality utilization decrease during both inactive hours and administration hours. Further decreased discharge of ozone and greenhouse depleting substances by the force sparing lighting framework. Metal rooftop + PC sheet, portrayed by long assistance life, high self-cleaning execution and performance.
CURTAIN WALL DESIGN： Use of huge and little petals, comprised by strong and transparent materials, featuring the delightful structures and light and shadow changes of petals. Use of punctured and perforated plates on the façade, creating light and transparent examples fluctuating with day and night and meeting the unique fire control necessity on the external exterior Use of PC sheet as the transparent material. STRUCTURAL DESIGN： • Propelling point and landing purpose of basic structure determination. • Appropriation of the spatial pipe support + link remained single-layer latticed shell structure framework, in light of the natural blend of auxiliary structure and petal forming, to first independently plan enormous and little petals and afterward naturally overlay them, consequently making a logical framework.
CONCLUSION: New digital Technologies are dramatically transforming our environments and behaviors. the structures in china, arenas, or the structures overall figured out how to keep a structure economical with the assistance of parametric architecture into the plan of the structure by utilizing detached structure components and parametric components as a major aspect of the design. the design of the structure has a ton of components that should be considered all together for the structure to accomplish warm solace .by having receptiveness in envelope geometry as a design concept, it will have the option to add to the manageability of the structure as it diminishes utilization of artificial lighting. what's more, expands normal ventilation. Lighting format dependent on multi-view visual line investigation, consequently both successfully guaranteeing the lighting impact and carefully controlling glare.

UNDERGROUND SUSTAINABILITY ABSTRACT:
Writers: Associate : Akashy J Belavadi, 5th Sem Sub-ordinate : Arun ME, 3rd Sem
Sustainable Architecture is the architecture which seeks to minimum negative environmental impacts of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of materials. Sustainable Architecture is not just about plantations of trees in the courtyard etc. Underground, buried or earth sheltered are the examples of constructions. From the early history of architecture and regardless of the reasons that justifies their design or solutions that there was a preoccupation in veiling artificial into nature. Camouflaging the buildings by covering them with the layer of soil and vegetation or even sinking them into the ground enhances the so much needed green space. Innovative solutions such as building underground are identified as an alternative to conventional aboveground buildings for reducing the total energy requirements, while alleviating land use and location problems. When designing these structures, it is important to recognize the potentially negative psychological and physiological effects associated with underground spaces.
UNDERGROUND BUILDING CONCEPTS:
A wide variety of approaches exists within the concept of underground building. The building is constructed in a completely excavated site. In between there are several different other types of underground building concepts that can be distinguished, this does not include every design possibility, but gives a typological overview. Using this classification an evaluation can be made on their effectiveness of energy reduction while maintaining indoor environmental quality. For example, a higher energy reduction can be achieved with a fully underground building, but this makes it more difficult to maintain the indoor environmental quality. The relationship between the underground building concept and these two factors is also highly dependent on the function of the building and the climate in which the building exists. TYPES: 1. Fully underground spaces: They will be completely underground or just above the surface. 2. Submerged spaces: Lying just under the surface of the ground. They will be extended deep into the ground but they will be having direct contact with the aboveground and with natural light also. 3. Earth-covered spaces : An earth-covered building is not called underground, but with a surface laid over it.
Physiological and psychological Consideration:
Lack of natural light Lack of spatial orientation Lack of exterior view Negative psychological reaction Association with death and burial Fear of collapse or being trapped Feelings of claustrophobia may occur due to the absence of windows for direct contact to the outside environment and the subsequent lack of stimulation from the variety of changing weather conditions and sunlight.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS AND OF UNDERGROUND BUILDINGS: Psychological: Relief from severe climate. Stable indoor temperature. Energy: Heat storage capacity, reduction of heat. Land use and location: 1. Protection: Provide security, limited access, fire protection. 2. Location: Visual impact, prevention of surface space. 2. Layout: Topographic freedom. POTENTIAL DRAWBACKS OF UNDERGROUND BUILDINGS: Psychological: Lack of spatial orientation, requirements for openings. Energy: Lack of useful ground temperature. Land use and location: 1. Protection: Degradation of underground temperature. 2. Location: Unfavorable geology. 3. Layout: Removable of sewage, limitation to access.

Below ground level ≈ 100% Surface to ground≈ 40% Depth ≈ 300m Location : Zocalo Square Mexico City Cause : Mexico City govt. have strict rules. Building cannot be of more than 8 storey building on surface. But there are no rules for building underground. Aim : To build a sustainable structure for solving issues like population growth, curbing sprawl, preserving open spaces and conserving energy and water. The advantage of this unusual structure that can be seen is that it in the center of Mexico City it would create a space.
Details of construction: Estimated cost : 800 million Area covered : 57600 sq.mt. Height : 300 meter Roof area : 82000 sq. ft. Construction type : Underground
HOW DID THE IDEA EVOLVE:
EXCLUSIVE FEATURES:
Benefits of underground building: Benefits with regards to energy use:
Building:
Made by steel sections and hardened glass panels. Fiber optics will be used for maximum natural lighting There will be garden on every 10 storey.
WATER MANAGEMENT: The main fear for owners is the water infiltrations. However, not only are the sealing systems very effective at preventing water from penetrating the house, they also take care of collecting water and sending it to underground storage tanks. These tanks can be used to supply water for the washing machine, dishwasher and toilets. In a world where water is becoming a rare commodity, these are great advantages to take into account. The orientation of the house can also be an essential factor. Beyond the originality of this underground home, these buildings are at risks of water infiltration but also from damage caused by tree roots. The installation of bitumous seals is essential on this kind of building in order to guarantee its strength.
Reduction of conduction Heat storage capacity Stability ground temperature Reduction of heat gain Benefits with regard to land use and location: Limited visual impact: Preservation of surface space. Efficient use of scarce land.
Topographic reasons. Provide security. Protection from natural disaster.
Benefits regard to life cycle cost: Reduced maintenance Building and building material durability No need of external cladding
Disadvantages of underground building: Disadvantages with regard to energy use: Requirement for openings Impact of ventilation rate Slow response Lack of useful ground temperature: Disadvantage with regard to land use and location: Water problem Protection of underground environment Disadvantage regarding life cycle cost: Iincreased structural cost
ELEMENTS OF SUSTAINABILITY ABSTRACT Sustainable architecture in which minimizing the negative environmental impact of the building by efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development of space. Sustainability considers the needs of the present situation without compromising the ability of the future generations to get their own needs. Sustainability mainly considers water, energy, building material and solid waste. Sustainable architecture was developed for first time by Butland report in 1987. The western societies started to discover their economic and industrial activities had a significant impact on their environment and especially on social imbalance so the sustainable architecture lead an important base to overcome these pandemics.
INTRODUCTION There are some ways to achieve sustainable architecture: Ecological architecture in which we can see small space construction, passive solar design, active solar design in high levels of insulation, efficient use of water and electricity, thermal mass ventilation and efficient lighting. Waste management through designing grey water systems and low taps showers. Building materials where we can use of renewable, nontoxic materials, recycled, reusable materials and local resources to reduce the transport. Pre design analysis is an integrated approach to the design. Site selection and analysis such as vegetation, topography, geo-logy, climate, natural access, solar orientation, water and drainage, and existing utility and transportation should be accessed.
TERI RETREAT CENTER
Writers: Associate : Rohini TR 7th Sem Sub-ordinate : Preksha Veersh, 3rd Sem
RETREAT [Resource Efficiency Teri Retreat for Environmental Awareness and Training]. It is also called as TERI RETREAT CENTER. This complex is constructed as an example of sustainable habitat Constructed at 1997/2000.It is located 35 km south of Delhi Gulphari Gurgaon Haryana. It is institutional type of building. It is a powerful and effective combination of modern science and traditional knowledge. Sustainability was the back bone to the entire design concept. Elements of passive solar architecture and low energy cooling system etc. are implemented. Total site area is 36.5 hectares with built up area 3000sqm.It is designed by Ar. Sanjay Prakash and Teri. Climatic condition over here is composite. Teri has successfully built which integrates various forms of renewable energy sources. Climate responsive to building is intended to serve as a model sustainable habitat based on new and clean technologies.
VISION OF THE BUILDING It is the combination of technology and architecture in a manner that the beholder understands the environment, energy, and building deepens. They are some basically three important things were considered in the creation of the complex. Firstly functionality of building and how energy is used in it. Secondly Complex minimizes demands of energy in the building by architectural intervention through passive concepts like solar orientation, latticework for shading, insulation, and landscaping. Thirdly the energy demands are fulfilled by renewable energy sources.
ELEMENTS OF DESIGN The five elements of design are : Sun, Sky, Air, Water and Earth shape where the nature of architecture emerges on site. SUN : This design is an important feature in the designing the building. The planning and orientation of spaces and also building blocks convey glare free daylight in all required spaces. All the linear blocks are oriented in the direction of East-West side with shorter facades facing the to sun. To avoid the harsh solar radiation from south west they kept south west side blank to protect the building. The south west walls are having opens and they are protected by pergolas or projecting balconies.
SKY : The use of daylight and light sensors to value the artificial lighting in the interiors is another way of design master plan. WATER : These are the important features of the building design where the campus have been provided with low flow fixtures such as dual flush toilets, low flow taps and sensor taps that result 25% savings of water use. EARTH : The campus is equipped with three types of cooling systems (i) Variable Refrigerant Volume system (VRV), (ii) Earth Air Tunnel (EAT) and (iii) Thermal Mass Storage .The VRV system is provided for the commercial block and the administrative block of the institute.
MATERIAL Vermiculite concrete and china mosaic white finish are used for the roof insulation. . Insulated walls using expanded polystyrene insulation. Some of the innovative ways of tapping solar energy and using energy more efficiently at retreat are energy efficiency system, Ammonia Absorption chillers, Root zone system, Biomass gasifier system, photovoltaic panels.
ROOT ZONE SYSTEM:
AIR : Wind direction is taken as the main consideration while designing the open spaces. The central atrium acts as an air funnel defined by the other buildings.
It is also called as waste water recycling. Root zoning for plants are the biological filters to plants, where the biological treatment of waste water takes place in a soil volume where the filter-beds containing gravel, sand and soil. This technology is also known as Decentralized Wastewater Systems (DEWATS) was started in 1970s. The waste and left out water is then sent to recycling by this technique where the roots are phragimtes plants with special capabilities of gathering the waste at the roots and are used to clean water and they are used for irrigation. It cleans the 5 meters cube of water every day. The entire area was proposed by water harvesting and watershed management. The process of separating and recombine to fluids to create a cooling effect.
EFFICIENCY SYSTEM
BIOMASS GASIFIER SYSTEM
Efficient energy is also called as energy efficiency where the goal is to reduce the amount of required energy to the provided products and services. Energy efficient compact fluorescent lamps are used in the residential quarters , corridors lobby and toilets . Energy efficient tube-lights with electronic chokes are used in conference halls , recreations rooms ,computers rooms dining halls and in administration areas . In conference halls, library and reception halls many Glare-free daylights are provided by the help of specially designed skylights.
These is a process of converting solid biomass fuel into a gaseous combustible gas (where it’s also called producer gas) through a series of thermo-chemical reactions. Biomass gasifier is the main source of power during the day, apart from the firewood, dry leaves, twigs and crop residues are used for fueling the 50KW gasifier.
CONCLUSION It is great thought and planning we can see over here. But the facility is not that much good. Its a gift to the humankind of the 21th century. Here they mainly considered the sustainable concept only to reduce the electrical supply etc.
PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS PV panels are also called as solar panels, where the sun’s energy convert into electricity. Electricity generated by PV panels is used for household appliances and other equipment. PV panel system is in grid-connected system, which its name indicates, that connected to the national grid. This means that at night, when the solar panels do not work, you can use electricity from the grid.
“SUSTAINABLE WIND ENERGY� ABSTRACT: The time ahead is largely unknown. It is the responsibility of the present generations to use the available resources in a way that meets the needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The construction industry is a huge consumer of natural resources, which are limited and irreplaceable. About 50 % of all materials extracted from the earth’s crust are transformed into construction materials and products and by return constitute some 50% of all waste generated prior to recycling, reusing or final disposal. So, it is crucial to stop the depletion of the natural capitals of the earth thorough creating innovative solutions that achieve the objectives of present and future generations. As the entity that designs buildings and specifies materials, architects have to accept their leadership and social responsibilities in this regard.

WINDMILL Wind turbine works on a simple principle, here instead of using electricity to make wind like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller of the turbine around a rotor, that spins a generator, which produce electricity. Wind is a form of solar energy which is resulted by combining 3 concurrent events: 1.The sun unevenly heating the atmosphere. 2. Irregularities of the earth's surface. 3.The rotation of the earth. The wind energy is an environment-friendly and efficient source of renewable energy. The kinetic energy of the wind can be used to do work.

HERITAGE DOCUMENTATION
VERN AC UL AR
ARCHITECTURE ARCHITECTURE
HERITAGE DOCUMENTATION INTRODUCTION Vernacular Architecture Is An Architectural Style That Is Designed Based On Local Needs, Availability Of Construction Materials And Reflecting Local Tradition. At Least Originally Vernacular Architecture Didn’t Use Formally Schooled Architects But Relied On The Design Skills And Traditions Of Local Builders. It Originated And Mankind Was Forced To Make Use Of Natural Resource Around Him And Provide Himself Shelter And Comfort Which Is Responsive To The Climate And Shield From The Element. The Vernacular In India Denotes Low Cost Traditional Village And Small-town Settlements Like Construction Is Carried Out Without The Help Of Architects And Professionals Where Building Activity Is Regulated By A Long Tradition That Scratches Back For Many Centuries In Many Cases. Climate Is A Predominant Factor Is Determining The Forms Of Vernacular Architecture In India. Vernacular Settlements In India On The Shape And Form That Is Dictated By The Climate They Are In Or The Socio-cultural Forms That They Are Designed To Preserve And Protect. It Is The Informal Functional Architecture Of Structures Often In Rural Areas Of India Built Of Local Materials Aid Designed To Meet The Needs Of Local People. Kachcha: A Kachcha Is A Building Made Of Natural Materials Such As Grass, Bamboo, Mud Thatch Or Sticks And Is Therefore A Short-lived Structure. Since It Is Not Made For Endurance It Requires Constant Maintenance And Replacement. Pakka: A Pukka Is A Structure Made From Materials Resistant To Wear Such As Forms Of Stone Or Brick Clay Tiles, Metal Or Other Parable Materials, Sometimes Using Mortar To Bind, That Doesn’t Need To Be Constantly Maintained Or Replaced. However, Such Structures Are Expensive To Construct As The Materials Are Costly And More Labour Required. A Pukka May Be Elaborately Decorated In Contrast To A Kachcha. Semi-pakka: A Combination Of Kachcha And Pakka Style, The Semi Pakka, Has Evolved As Villagers Have Acquired The Resources To Add Constructed Elements Of The Parable Material Characteristic Of A Pakka Architecture As Always Evolves Organically As The Needs And Resources Of People Change. Characteristics Of Vernacular Architecture: Dwellings And Structures That Are Built As A Product Of Traditional Customs And Practices. Often Built By The Users Themselves. Representing A Far Less Degree Of Specialization. The Structures Made By Empirical Builders Without The Intervention Of Professional Architects. They Have Emerged Out Of Hard Necessities, Work Hard And Construction. Hard Lives Construction Methodology That Natives Employee To Build Shelters Using Locally Prevalent Resources And Conditions. Pros And Cons Of Vernacular Architecture: Pros: Capitalizing On Local Knowledge And Traditions. Taking Advantage Of Local Materials And Resources, Means That They Are Sustainable And Relatively Energy Efficient To The Environment. For Example, They Mostly Used Natural Materials Such As Tree Trunk, Leaves, Soil And So On To Build The Architecture. Provides Humans And The Environment A Vital Connection In Which They Live. Humans Know Well In Using The Materials Which They Get From The Environment To Build Up The Houses. They Can Be Designed With The Local Climatic Condition In Mind, And Often Perform Well Specifically. They Usually Designed With Stilts To Prevent Floods And Large Windows To Provide Good Natural Ventilation. Cons: Limited On Materials What Are Available In Forests, Around Them Or Dug And Quarried From The Ground. Due To Structural Constraints. Traditional Buildings Were Limited In Height. Vernacular Architecture Designs Are Predicated On Preserving The Sanctity Of Only The Local Building Styles And Reflect The Context Of The Community The Home Is Located. Traditional Forms Were Built By Hand Which Is Much Slower Requiring Many Workers On Site For A Longer Time.

SITE ANALYSIS Location of wash room is not in the prevailing wind direction 2. Wash room is in the north west direction which avoids the foul smell from entering the house. 3. Numerous site elements related to site are: access, shape, surroundings. 4. Natural factors influencing the site are: topography, climate, wind pattern and vegetation. 5. Temperature control. 6. Rectangular planning. 7. Entrance is from the west. 8. The neighbourhood also follows rectangular planning and grid system. 9. The shape of the building is slightly rectangular. 10. People chose this shape because they felt other shapes would be a waste of space and land. They built without the help of an engineer or an architect so the plan is trapezoioal. The slope diverts the wind towards the building. Useful spaces with respect to functions are being created in the process and the character of site is accentuated.

Courtyard: a courtyard is an enclosed area, often a space enclosed by a building that is open to the sky. Generally, the courtyard house type may be described as one which has rooms surrounding to it and is open to sky. The skylight in this courtyard house is located at the center of the courtyard. Earlier the skylight of this house was open to sky, but nowadays the skylight of the courtyard is closed due to some reasons. The entry to the courtyard is through the main entrance followed by a wide passage. There is a large storage area at one corner of the courtyard, this was earlier used as the grain storage, but now it is used for storage of other household things. On the both sides of courtyard there are bedrooms and bathrooms. Tulsi katta: tulsi plant is observed as the most sacred plant in the culture of India. The sacred tulsi katta in vernacular architecture is usually placed in the center of courtyard and it is worshiped. The tulsi katta plays a prominent role in vernacular architecture, being the most important element of courtyard house. The tulsi katta in this house is not placed in the center of courtyard, but it is placed outside the house. It is believed that the air which flows had levels, later on it was covered and brought to one level, may be due to this the tulsi katta was placed outside to avoid the obstruction inside the house.

Column details: The entrance leads to a beautiful courtyard which is flanked by two moulded columns relatively slender in proportion their height of 21.8 m monolithically carved out of timber these columns catch attention of vision because of their enormous look. These columns stand on grid style and each column stands on a square base and above cylindrical with capitals at the top.
Skylight and roof details: Mud walls were used in combination with timber post creating a framed structure, but the posts were independent of the walls. Posts are made of eucalyptus, teak and neem. These members were used in their natural shape and rested on top of the posts often lapping on the wider part of the posts. There are joists over the beams, the joists on top of these beams are bamboo which was abundant and easily available in those times and it is also a strongest plant both in tension and compression, almost comparable to steel. The beams and joist are extended around the entire building to offer an overhanging of less than 1 1/2 ft to save the above from the rain. On top of the bamboo joists is a well-placed layer of twigs and coconut stem shells laid in the opposite direction to create a sheath for the mud above. Mud is packed on to the layer of twigs and a flat roof. This layer of mud is very thick and slightly sloped towards an end to reduce the seepage of water during rains. Mud being an insulator it is an excellent roofing material for this semi-arid region. As the house is situated in hot climate number of fenestrations is reduced, this reduces the heat gained or loss, thereby keeping the inside at a suitable temperature for human occupation. For sky light fired terracotta post is cut at the Centre and placed on to the roof while placing the bamboo, then the mud is compacted around it. This gives beautiful circular skylights that light up the interior with sufficient light.

Timber: timber is also called as lumber. It is a type of wood that has been processed into beams and planks. A stage in process of wood production. Timber is mainly used for structural purposes. But many other uses as well. There are two main types of lumber. It may be supplied either roughsawn or surfaced on one or more of its faces. How it is used in vernacular style: timber posts are used on roof as beams but the posts were independent of the walls, the door frames, window frames were local timber placed. The walls with simple joineries. Mud: mud has been the most essential building materials suitable for construction. The mud houses use minimal energy is comfortable yearround. The main advantage of mud is we donot need lots of energy to manufacture it, unlike other materials.
How it is used in vernacular style: mud is placed onto the layers of twigs and beautiful flat roof is created. The layer of mud is generally very thick and slightly sloped towards an end to reduce the seepage of water during rains. Bamboo: bamboo are a group of woody perennial ever green plant. It is a fastest growing and renewable natural buliding material. Bamboo due to their. It is light weight and stiff compressive strength. Tensile strength is long been used as scaffolding material. How it is used in vernacular style: the joists on top of the timber beams were bamboo is placed.
Terracotta: it can be used on the exterior or interior of a building a piece of terracota is composed of a mallow clay we closing a void space. How it is used in vernacular style: is used in skylight in the hous in the shape of pot.this gives a beautiful skylight that light up the interior space with sufficient light.

“Architecture as a carrier of culture” Perhaps the most well known line of Robert. L. Peters “Design creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future”, shows how culture and architecture are not just intertwined with each other but also define the future they behold. Manifestation of culture masked behind its layers of abstraction shows how we’ve evolved with one’s approach towards design.
Writer: Sharvari Y, 5th Sem
Back in the days, a rich culture of a region was determined by royal and mighty empires, bright colors, sculptures that depicted tales and everyday life. Individuality was a key element where culture was very subjective to region and the people who lived there.
But in today’s time culture is mostly sophisticated and contemporary, where more importance has been given to the purpose of the space. History of a place, of a structure, speaks a lot more than the tales it has encountered, as many claim walls have ears too and communicate to those who’d actually listen since it has witnessed many untold stories“Architecture becomes a frame for constructed situations” - Bernard Tshumi, is quite self-explanatory. Architecture and culture are two sides of the same coin. Even though they are dovetail, one side is usually given up over the other. Some structures are a dramatic paradigm to this statement. Culture has two issues or is a part of two types of situation: Activities that are often understood as specific to architecture.
Inextricably connected to the realm of human existence and demacrates how human life differentiates itself from nature. Egypt, greece, rome etc, holds one of the most oldest architecture styles, they were all different yet so similar in many ways. And in today’s concrete jungle we live in, we are different yet bonded by our cultures. Today’s generation has got one quality which many of them did’nt, “adaptability”. Hence the urge to bring back the olden yet golden culture into our lives through design would be the best gift we’d give ourselves.
