ABSTRACT: The ever-increasing human population increases the need for area (For better living, transportation, ease to access and mobility) space, infrastructure, etc. We, humans, need good facilities and comfort Hence, we have developed our towns and cities but forget the other earthlings or god’s creatures. As per the Literature study, the count of stray animals is in crores with around 30% of new-born stray animals surviving on the street, 50% of stray animals are left to starve each day and close to 60% of stray animals face cruelty from humans. Humans are becoming greedy to fulfil their needs while exploiting nature and encroaching upon natural surroundings – land, and water, leaving little to no space for stray animals. This study will provide to understand proper treatment of rescued stray animals and homeless stray, abandoned animals will get their forever home where they will have their rightful freedom. Keywords: Treatment; Animal Abuse; Shelter; Awareness; Animal Equality; Human-Animal Interaction.
T
he process of urbanization continues deplete the biodiversity of cities and need of biodiversity in our neighborhood. Human is exploiting nature and continue to do so on. They have no idea about the damage that they done from the long period of time. As human think about human only and their foremost surrounding, but neglect a major part encircling them in their sub-conscious mind, that is the other earthlings(thoughts, nature, and animals). A few problems made by human to other animals are habitat loss, animal cruelty, factory farming, animal experiments and animal abandonment, caging and torture. These issues raised because human taking their claim over animal habitat and animals, just because we are at the top of the food chain, but human cannot take advantage over the ones beneath them. We need to think about other earthlings also not in the terms of performance and aesthetic but as life itself. This research paper aims to make people aware of the life of stray animals in the present scenario, animal abuse, and cruelty; to make people aware of their duties towards other earthlings. The objective of this paper is to study the medical facility for the stray which are rescued from accidents and deadly diseases, to develop animal-human interaction, to understand animal behaviour and space design to maintain psychological equilibrium. This project provides us wide scope to study the different animal’s behaviour, life span, treatment, and lifestyle, etc. This research is limited to the specific category of animals such as dogs and cat. As an architect we shape the world around us to increase comfort and strive sustainability for better future. Neglecting the habitat for animal makes a gap in the sustainability as the world is not purely anthropocentric. So it’s the responsibility of an architect to connect human being to other earthlings via architecture. Animals need to receive the same possibility as people to have claim over the land we stay. Freedom from starvation and Thirst – through equipped get entry to sparkling water and a diet to preserve complete health and vigour. Freedom from pain – by using offering the proper environment along with shelter and a comfy resting location. Freedom from pain, harm or disorder – by using prevention or speedy prognosis and treatment. Freedom to express everyday Behaviour – by using imparting sufficient area, proper centres and company of the animal’s personal type. Freedom from worry and misery – by using making sure conditions and remedy which avoid intellectual suffering.
In early modern era human and animals lived in the closed proximity; our language preserves the sign of that time. Animalhuman relationship is beneficial for health and well-being of both. This also includes emotional, physical interaction, psychological and the environment. The importance of bond between animal human already well documented in the history across culture and in recent research. However the value of attachment with companion animal is degraded in the mental

health field in past year researcher approves the benefit and encourage the human animal bonding via therapeutic program application. Animals had been considered divine. Animal burial in ancient Greece and Rome discovered their importance to a human companion. Those animals have been buried with blankets and meals along with their human associate. Animal Necropolises in Egypt is a burial for animals, nearly as royal as the human burials. Ancient manuscripts have stated dogs to be guided in the afterlife and cats to be the protecting powers of the sun. In later years, when civilization was superior, cats and dogs had been so valued that they had their own servants. Lap puppies became popular as comforters. Animals have been bred to form a particular breed which signified royalty. Handiest the rich humans owned pets. Within the present situation, we see these animals badly abused and brutally killed. Cats and dogs are killed for fur. Cruel treatment and exploitation in overwork and gaming has sparked advocacy of animal protection corporations and laws in England in past due 19’ century. The government does now not hold any crime facts. But, the Animal Welfare Board of India continues facts of proceedings on stated cruelty to animals. The flora and fauna Crime Bureau additionally offers with the violation of the wildlife safety Act, 1972. The statistics on crimes regarding cruelty to animals are maintained by way of the regulation enforcement authority of the concerned States and Union Territories. The Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) in their annual record publishes the details of the court cases received in regard to animal cruelty alongside the action taken. The wide variety of complaints obtained in the Animal Welfare Board of India regarding cruelty to animals are forwarded to the worried States /Union Territories for taking vital movement. The info from the year 2015-sixteen to until date (as of 25.07.2021) is given hereunder:

A shelter facility designed with animal health and welfare at the centre can be transformative no longer handiest to the animals housed there but also to the people who take care of them and to the communities they serve. At pleasant most companies get one opportunity each 20, 30, or greater years to construct a brand new sheltering facility; therefore, it’s far imperative that the design be proper. Deciding on materials and finishes in your safe haven is an exercise in balancing appearance with initial price, life cycle value, and durability. Whilst looking at look, consider what colours, textures, styles, and sizes are to be had. The right floor could have those characteristics: Eye-catching visible effect. Durable. Without problems washer-friendly. Resilient. Nonabsorbent to beverages and odors. Prevents microbial boom. Sound absorbent.

No single fabric is suitable to be used in all areas of your safe haven, and no fabric is a top performer in all of those classes, so selecting the “fine” floor is a matter of balancing the requirements for unique regions with the cost and performance of to be had materials while considering value, look at the initial price of the product, the fee of set up, the cost of maintenance over time, and the value of changing a less luxurious product while it reaches the stop of its life cycle. For example, vinyl tile may be bought and hooked up for as low as $1.50 in line with the rectangular foot, while porcelain tiles value inside the $10.00 in step with rectangular foot range. once the overall preservation costs for stripping, refinishing, and buffing the vinyl floor are factored in, the value differential may be offset in approximately five years, with the introduced benefit of getting a long-lasting and attractive floor that could final as plenty as 3 times as long frequently misplaced inside the desire to preserve initial construction charges low are the lengthy-term fees concerned in cleaning and renovation. Of route, there is the alternative facet of life cycle price evaluation: if you may find the money for the initial value of cloth, it surely doesn’t depend on how correct the cloth is. Constantly comply with producer’s tips for set up and protection of all materials. This is very vital for the guarantee of the product and to your own delight. Make sure that you completely understand both producers’ and installers’ warranties. Use business-grade merchandise. talk to humans in other animal shelters who’ve used the goods you are considering. Investigate the advertising claims of a product to peer how those claims examine to its actual overall performance. Building materials are delivered each day claiming to be the revolutionary option to the trouble. a few may fit that invoice, however be careful to make investments the effort and time to comply with thru on who is the use of them, in which they’re used, in what packages they’re being used, and if the installer and manufacturer will stand behind the substances and set up.
People harm, maimed, killed, or even raped almost five lakh animals among 2010 and 2020, according to the latest file on violence in opposition to animals in India. The record, published by means of the Federation of Indian Animal protection businesses (FIAPO) and All Creatures brilliant and Small (ACGS), says that within the stated length a total of 4,93,910 animals have become sufferers of crimes dedicated by way of human beings. Those include over 2300 ugly and intentional acts of violence that brought about the animal’s loss of life or irreparable harm, the report says. As in line with the record, out of the 1,000 assault cases recorded against the animals, eighty two cases were of sexual abuse, 266 cases of bloodless-blooded murder, and over four hundred cases have been of violent assaults of thrashing, kicking, torturing, throwing acid or boiling water, maiming a part of the body, attacking with a knife or a blunt item. In keeping with the file, year 2019 noticed the highest wide variety of instances of crimes against animals (seven-hundred cases). Additionally, almost 4,230 puppies had been killed by using mass culling drives throughout the country. “Because they may be animals, human beings tend to underplay the violence via calling it cruelty. But it’s greater than cruelty. Its physical abuse; its psychological abuse; its rape; its murder. Intense crimes towards animals should be treated as legal,”

A man had unnatural sex with three cows in Vadodara. Eleven Monkeys were brutally killed and dumped near highway in Rajasthan. Several stray dogs were poisoned to death in Nagpur. A stray dog fractured its skull after being beaten with an iron rod in Mumbai. A cow was run over by a police vehicle in Chhattisgarh. A dog was mercilessly beaten to death by three men in Gujarat. 21 beagles were confined in cages for scientific experiments in Pune. A street dog was left to die when workers poured hot tar on it while it was sleeping.
After reading research paper, article, and animal cruelty cases; realize that we have a need of good and advance medical facility with rehabilitation centre in India. I have search for the animal shelter for the case study in India but there is no such shelter and rehabilitation society which is properly well planned. All the animal shelter has some issues. I also look for the shelter in foreign country and I found some of the best case study which is good for animal as well environment (sustainable). Some of the case studies of shelter and rehabilitation society are: Palm Springs Animal Care Facility Canine Brigade Animal Refuge Centre Greenville Humane Society SPCA-Animal care centre
Figure 2: View of Palm Spring Animal Shelter
This contemporary Companion Animal Facility integrates usual mid-century wasteland layout motifs with modern, present day Animal Care habitats and aid systems. The assignment graph is a reflect of the favoured operational waft of human beings and animals into and out of the facility geared up round a central Canine Adoption Garden shaded by means of cloth overhangs and cooled with the aid of misters. The exterior graph facets a sweeping roof overhang oriented toward the San Jacinto Mountain vary which each proclaims and hues three principal public entrances—the Main Public Adoption Lobby, the Intake Lobby and the Education Centre - every of which overlooks the City’s actively used Demuth Park. These entrances serve the following needs; The Main Adoption/Business centres; is the place adoptions, licensing and associated enterprise things to do occur. Public Intake is positioned subsequent to the Adoption Entrance for the admittance of stray and surrendered animals so as to limit the danger of disorder transfer. The reception desks of these two entrances are backed up internally so that minimal body of workers can provider both lobby.

The after-hours Education Centre/Classroom entrance is a neighbourhood oriented multi-purpose room. The format locations restrooms between the study room and Adoption Centre, which approves the rest of the facility to be secured after hours whilst neighbourhood packages and/or humane training lessons are in use.

The project grew out of two desires: on the one hand the wish to defend the website of distinctly industrialized surroundings opposed to the presence of the Police and additionally to improve the panorama workable of it (the presence of the channel and a meadow for canine training). The use of gabion is a hyperlink between the concept of safety and the thinking of landscape: used as cladding, it develops the poetics of the occupied wall (citadel, fortress, enclosure) with the aid of ability of a optimistic method (natural stone organized by way of hand in steel cages) ordinary of constructions alongside rivers or defending mountain roads. The application consists of three separate units. The first is committed to the administration, together with offices, assembly room, record writing room, locker rooms and toilets. The second combines the features associated to the puppies care, such as nursing, meals education area, assault man local, storage equipment. The third is committed to puppies’ shelters which are dispatched into three zones: the assault dogs, the sniffer dogs, and the quarantine boxes. Each niche is composed of a the front location sheltered by way of a roof and an open-air returned courtyard. A steel roof constructions the website and connects the administrative phase to the logistic one whilst clearing a sheltered area beneath a cover to shield deliveries, loading, and unloading of puppies for patrols departures, and returns.
Figure 4: View of Animal Refuge Centre
The two Amsterdam animal refuges in Amsterdam have been amalgamated—the new-built is the greatest pound in the Netherlands. The plot is in the town fringe, a curiously impossible wedge of cake. The “comb model” standard for this feature consists of a lengthy provider corridor, with a repetition of kennels at proper angles to it, separated with the aid of small outdoor spaces. This mannequin is dominated through railings and its seem of it carefully resembles a prison. We have had the carrier hall and the kennel hall converge in the Amsterdam Animal Rescue Centre. This creates a long, skinny ribbon building. This constructing is folded like a ribbon alongside the waterway round the plot. Inside this, two massive play areas for the animals have been created. The constructing faces inwards in order to minimize immoderate noise ranges (barking!) for the neighbours. In the excessive section of the building, the cat lodging is positioned above the canine kennels as a greater sound buffer for the backyard world. The central function of the entrance foyer determines the ultimate structure—a fluid object. Its cover is a pixel model of the grass on the historical dike subsequent to the location.

“The Greenville Humane Society engaged our design group for the renovation of a present 10,000 SF warehouse to residence an animal adoption centre and clinic. Rebranding itself as a no-kill facility and rethinking operational efficiencies, the shelter’s dreams for the task protected accommodating about a hundred cats and puppies in an enticing surroundings and bettering quite a few revenue-generating components of the enterprise to guide the loss leader, animal adoption. Our architectural crew laboured intently with a public members of the family association and an indoors fashion designer in order to provide a holistic sketch method to the multi-faceted project. All three corporations laboured collaboratively on architectural, indoors design, and branding issues, with very few boundaries between the disciplines. Close and steady verbal exchange made the 8-month diagram and development agenda possible. All presented some diploma of pro-bono services. The aggressive time table was once similarly supported thru a plan construct relationship with the regular contractor, who coordinated donations of substances and fixtures and managed a volunteer landscaping effort. Many important points inside the constructing can be attributed to a crew effort in the subject between designers and contractors. From diagram to completion, the collaborative nature of this venture is the story of its success. As section of our work, the plan group grasp deliberate the last four acres for a canine park, protected pavilions and on foot trails. Within solely a few months of opening, our crew was once approached by way of an architectural studio at Clemson University with activity in these small initiatives as scholar work. Our association served in an advisory function as the college students designed and constructed two included seating areas in the courtyard, persevering with the story of collaboration for the Greenville Humane Society. The over-arching purpose of the layout has passed expectations—a functional, pleasant and attractive facility that helps a neighbourhood of pet-lovers—and a authentic crew effort.”

According to the literature review, data collection of cruelty cases against animal and case studies of animal shelter we understand the need of this type of animal society in India, as the cases of cruelty is high and the facility of medical treatment and shelter care is very few. If we have this type of facility the local people surely try to save the life of the other earthlings rather than neglecting them and leave to die on street. It will help the voiceless creatures to low down their pain by providing care and connection to the environment.
I would like to specific my deep sense of gratitude from the bottom of my heart to my guide Ar. Anita meskar for her precious steering, thought and encouragement. Her eager and indefatigable indulgence in this Research Paper helped me to reach an irreproachable destination.
