Location: Palghar , Mumbai | Type: Academic
 INTRODUCTION

Every year many people loss their and their loved

ones life during natural calamity. In a fraction of
second they become homeless, orphaned. Their
lifelong savings goes in vain. And all this happens
because of poor infrastructure, disaster management
and no knowledge about evacuation plan.

Our technology has come a long way but proper

implication of it is necessary. Buildings which serves
us daily, loss it’s function during disaster. Why can not
we have resilience in buildings ?; Why should it only
serve on normal days ?;

“Resilience” is emerging as a design goal with

sustainability, as areas increasingly experience
unexpected catastrophic shocks and stresses such as
earthquake, extreme rain, heat waves, and droughts.

There are various definitions of resilience, but here it

is taken simply as “the continued ability of a system
or structure to adapt to stress or any sort of
disturbance so that it may continue to function, or
quickly recover its ability to function, during and after
stress”. Figure 1: Sustainability and Resilience
The site for this project lies in the Palghar district,
Maharashtra, India. Palghar is a town in the Konkan
Division of Maharashtra state and a municipal council.
It is in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, and since
2014 it has been the administrative capital of the
Palghar District.
Figure 2 : Site Location With Context
The site falls under intraplate seismic zone (Palghar).
This intraplate region experiences moderate seismic
activity, the most recent one being a swarm-type activity
in the Palghar region that started in November 2018 and
has produced a few thousand micro-earthquakes and
a 4.3 magnitude earthquake since then.

 1 BHK Plan Layout

The symmetrical and compact planning is adopted to ensure better stability in building. Concrete is used as a building
material for its potential to protect against natural disaster and resistance against fire.
The sewage connections are concealed in the exterior ducts, which are connected to the main sewer line.
 2 BHK Plan Layout

The fire escape is provided on the exterior wall directly open up on the ground floor, consists of fire staircase and lift
protected by fire retardant door.
Set of Shear walls (highlighted in red) are provided parallelly on the opposite sides for maximum safety.
Additional ties are added with reduced spacing in columns for its ductility (Figure: Elevation showing reinforcing steel).

 INTRODUCTION

Nagpur is becoming a favourite destination for the home

makers and for the investors with the current
development policies. Many investors are investing their
money in the residential sector as lot of IT companies are Figure 12: Map of Maharashtra (Source: Google Map)
coming to the city with young talents searching for their
dream homes. With this scenario, many commercial cum
residential projects are underway in the city. To cater to
this demand of society, architectural professionals are
gearing up to provide world class amenities with holistic
experience of lifestyle to their clients.

The project aims at designing vertically, so it was

expected that the single building block with mixed
typology will be located on the site. Figure 13: Map of Nagpur (Source: Google Map)

Site has existing Labour Institute which is to be

demolished. Residential blocks are present on the rear
side of the site and Big Bazar complex on the front side.

Location Of The Site: Regional Labour Institute, Gayatri

Location: Thiruvananthapuram , Kerala | Type: Hands-On
The Laurie Baker exposure programme aims to share knowledge on alternative techniques in architecture and construction of buildings, techniques that are
based on green habitat and affordable, environment friendly and aesthetically appealing principles. These include use of bamboo, mud, bricks, granites and
recycling of used building materials. Architectural designs suited to given climatic conditions, optional use of natural lighting and ventilation are also part of the
training programme.
 Workshop Name: Hunnarshala
Location: Bhuj , Gujarat | Type: Hands-On
Hunnarshala Foundation is a non-profit organization, working towards sustainable habitats. Founded in the wake of the 2001 earthquake in Gujarat, India,
Hunnarshala engages in both community and artisan empowerment. It works with a network of artisans to combine traditional techniques with innovation
resulting in buildings, including in post disaster situations, that are at once eco-friendly, resilient and in keeping with local vernacular. They also train and
empower artisan entrepreneurs, bringing them into the mainstream of construction and participate in community-led reconstruction and planning.
