Even though the name of the studio is titled as Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)studio, As an academic exercise we have taken a little bit of liberty to go beyond the conventional methods of augmenting the environment.
The Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)in India, is a precautionary tool and a statutory back by the EP act of 1986 which was conceived with an intent of linking the environment to the development process. As a group of 9 young environmental planners we have tried to look into this whole process of EIA through the lens of construction projects (Buildings) and the kind of impact that it would create. Our key inquiry has been in moving this whole agenda of project based situation-which happens to be the conventional EIA to an area based assessment and drawing the responsive Environment Management Plans.
As a studio we would try and Illustrate the benefits of doing this whole “Area based Approach” in which we would be looking at the benefits of the area based vs the traditional EIA methods
