This house is located on a farm in a small village called Nagar koodal, Dharmapuri, India. It is located in one corner of large flat farmland with views towards a small creek bordering the Theproperty.design scheme is in the shape of a spiral with a circular central courtyard. In the centre, there is the water harvest ing tank of 30000 litres beneath the circular courtyard. The entrance to the building is through the Living area. The bed rooms, kitchen and dining areas are arranged radially around the courtyard. The client wanted to reduce water consumption and cause minimal damage to the surrounding environment. For this reason, it was decided that the house would be constructed with locally available granite stone blocks and bricks using mud as the mortar. The roof of the ground floor was done using Laurie Baker’s filler slab technology. The walls on the first floor are also done using Laurie Baker’s rat-trap bond with country bricks. To minimize the water consumption of the household, dry composting toilets were proposed. Further, the grey water from the kitchen and bathing area is to be filtered and used in the kitchen garden.

Since the clients use natural soaps and detergents the grey water from the kitchen and bathrooms is directed into a filter. The filter is a concrete box with an inlet at the top and an outlet at the bottom. The concrete box is then filled with layers of charcoal, sand and gravel. The grey water is then allowed to filter through these layers before being used to irri gate the plants in the garden.
On the inside, the walls are plastered with traditional mud plas ters and artworks using different combinations of lime, earth colours and ash. Fixed furniture was proposed over the com mercially available counterparts to further reduce the impact on the environment.

Composting toilet is a type of dry toilet that pre dominantly uses an aerobic processing system to treat human excreta by composting or managing aerobic decomposition. These toilets generally use little or no water and may be used as an alternative to flush toilets. The human excreta is usually mixed with dry leaves, sawdust, coconut coir, soil or peat moss to facilitate aerobic processing liquid absorp tion and odour mitigation. Most composting toilets use slow, cold composting conditions. The toilets produce compost that will be used on the farm to enrich the soil.

Madras Terrace roof is a traditional roofing/flooring tech nique practised predominantly in southern India. A small brick called “aachhikal”, wood and lime is used in the construction. The aachikal brick is laid on edge across in a diagonal fashion and plastered with lime over wood en beams. A layer of brickbat kadukai water and lime is applied over the bricks. Finally, a layer of tiles is laid to make the roof waterproof.

A Filler slab is a Reinforced Cement Concrete slab that uses filler material embedded in it so that the weight of the slab and amount of concrete used comes down. Pots, Terracotta tiles, Coconut shells and bottles are some of the materials used in the filler slab system. The technique works on the concept of removing unnecessary concrete in the tension zone and filling it with lightweight and in expensive materials.

Permaculture techniques have been implemented in the gardens surrounding the house. Indigenous species of fruit trees and shrubs are planted along with seasonal vegeta bles. The kitchen garden is also part of the permaculture garden. This method is adopted since the project is located in a dry, arid region of India with scanty rainfall and using exotic species as a part of the landscape design would not be relevant to the context.

Site size: 170,000.sq m Site location: Mori(TN), Italy Typology: Industrial complex Period of construction: 1927-1928 Decomissioned year: 1983 Cause of abandonment: Environmental Pollution ProjeCt details site introdUCtion
Montecatini di Mori was built between 1927-1928 by the Milanese industrial group “Montecatini” in agreement with the German company “Vereinigte Aluminum Werke” as the factory to produce alu minium. It was the first plant in Trentino that was supported by hydroelectricity generated on-site. In March 1983, the closure of the plant became definitive due to the impact it had on the environment. This complex, which today is seen as one of the symbols of industrial archaeology, is a place slowly buried in the memories of the locals. Not only does the site have beautiful industrial structures, but it also represents livelyhood of the people who worked there in the post-war period. Hence, the building has obtained the recognition of the historical-artistic interest of law n ° 1089 of 1939 in tended as a landscape - monumental asset defined by article 94 of the provincial town planning law. Currently the site is abandoned, with old furniture, industrial objects scattering around, and the plants thriving freely. We were hoping the complexity of the surrounding condition can be turned into an advantage, that correlates with its historical identity, as well as its strategic location in Trentino’s scenic landscape, to provide the design opportunities. It also allows us to create a space which succeeds in keeping the past alive while providing new use and social values to the space through the adaptive reuse of the industry site.
Analysing the landuse maps of Montecatini di Mori and the surrounding valley helped in giving a better understanding of the site and the kind of activities that take place around the site. The conclusions we drew from the landuse maps helped in deciding the function that could take place in our site.

designProPosal ConCePt
De-industrialisation, one of the many consequences of industrialisation, has physically manifested itself in the form of abandoned, derelict industrial sites scatted across many urban and semi-urban areas in most industrialised countries. These spaces which we identify as “terrain vague” are niches in which alternative ecological processes take place, allowing certain species, which are no longer in a human-controlled environment, to take over the landscape and claim it as their own. These “terrain vague” become places of wildness and to fully appreciate this new kind of beauty and to respect the laws of nature we had decided to create a landscape out of the industrial ruin. We have used ideas like the “ smallest possible intervention” and “do as much as possible for, as little as possible against “ in an attempt to create a landscape made out of industrial debris where the existing buildings (architecture ) are perceived as elements of landscaping. The landscape proposal aims to be an open-ended design approach which responds to and accommodates natural process es. The design strives to nurture the spontaneous nature that already exists on site, encouraging the visitors to elicit an appreciation for nature, its wholeness and diversity. The project is a reflection and interpretation of ideas, principles and design philosophies put forward by Gilles Clément, Peter Latz, Michel Desvigne and Catherine Mosbach.

During the preliminary investigation of Carrara, we noticed that the river Carrione was often completely detached from the existing city fabric. This lack of integration into the city led to the degradation of the river, the polluted water being the biggest bane. While the flood walls are vital to the safety of the public during floods, it visu ally cuts off the river. This led us to our concept of making the river more visually accessible which guided us to explore the other kinds of barriers present at our sites, like the hydrological barrier and the anthropogenic barriers. The concept evolved from the river. The idea is to create a space where visitors experience the river without physically accessing the river. This is achieved by creating islands of tall grasses, which when swaying in the breeze, will create ripples similar to water.
Site location: Carrara, Italy details site introdUCtion
ProjeCt
Carrara has a long history of mining for marble. The marble extracted from Carrara has been used to create many masterpieces, like the David of Michelangelo. However, the activities of the quarry have polluted the river Carrione over time. The river Carrione is now cut off from the remaining city by flood walls or buildings which is why the river is isolated and desolated.
SURFACE PERMEABILITY
The river Carrione is prone to flooding. Analysing the areas at flood risk helped in understanding the importance of the flood walls. This study confirmed that removing the flood walls to create physical access to the river had potential risk, hence the proposal had to work within that parameter and create a space where people could interact with the river visually.
AREAS UNDER FLOOD RISK
Analysing the materials that cover the surface helps in understanding the permeability of the various surfaces. This aids in understanding the cause of flooding and provides solutions that could help avoid the catastrophe.
Vegetated surfaces
analytiCal maPPing PermeaBility & Barriers
Asphalted surfaces have very low permeability. Hence large parking lots can be redesigned to increase permeability.
Asphalted surfaces
The green areas have high water permeability, however the green areas are scattered and lesser in area. In order to avoid flooding the green ares must be increased. Cobblestoned surfaces
A major part of the historical center of Carrara is covered with cobblestones, which has a low permeability. This increases the flood risks.
Urban LimitingFabricBarriers- Buildings Limiting Barriers- Flood-wall Roads connecting
The river is not physically accessible at any point due to the flood walls. However, removing the flood walls increase the flood risk and hence the river cannot be physically accessible.
Lowest Permeability -Buildings Low Permeability -Cobblestones Low Flood Risk
Though the river runs close to the historic center of the city, it is visually cut out due to the high flood walls.

The Refection
This is the main proposal. The proposed space has two levels. The upper level (leisure zone) has the pavilion , the open air theater and marble benches. The lower level ( dynamic zone) is dedicate for childred and has playing facilities, a skating rink and many patches of vegetation. Each vegetation patch has a different tex ture inviting children to interact with them differently.
Over-The-Wall From our analysis it was clear that taking down the flood wall to make the river more viible was not a viable option. However the river can still be visually accessible by creating a ramp that takes the visitors higher from where they can see the river.
