II. Team Introduction

Team Introduction

Team IDEATE consists of students from two disciplines, Architecture and Civil Engineering, bringing their knowledge and skills together in order to work towards sustainability. We have identified three major domains which require extensive research and these three domains will further be divided into different components under that domain.

The identified domains are, 1. Architectural Design which includes Materiality and structure, active and passive techniques, landscapes 2. Energy Analysis and Energy Generation Potential which includes MEP services, HVAC system, Energy generation potential from different resources and 3. Water and Waste Management

Team is divided in three main groups and further subdivided in groups as mentioned above, which will help the individuals to explore their area of interest and expertise. All the groups will be working parallelly in coordination to provide inputs in different aspects to be considered while decision making. Extensive research done by individuals and collective decision-making together will help all the groups to focus and respond to the contests and common goals.
