1.PROBLEMS FACED DUE TO STRESS

Stress is any in the environment that require your body to react adjust in response.

The body reacts to these change with Physical, Mental and Emotional.

43% of all adults suffers from adverse health effects from stress.

The Occupational Safety & health administration declares stress a hazardous of the workplace.

2.SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS

Tranquility means “ a state of peace of mind” like the tranquility you feel at the shore of a quiet lake or inside a beautiful cathedral.

NEED OF INNER PEACE AND TRAQUILITY

It increases your inner strength and ability to handle difficult situations.

Ability to eliminate stress, anxieties, and worries. It helps us to relax our body and nerves.

Ap peaceful mind eliminates all the negative energy around Keeps us away from health problems

Tranquility is the quality or state of being tranquil; that is, calm, serene, and worry-free.

To design a “Centre for Tranquility”, and promote the healthy lifestyle through Ayurveda and Yoga, which act as the space for wellbeing, self-sustained built environment that provokes mental and physical healing.

• Elements of Healing

• Creating Holistic environment

• Understanding elements of nature

• Creating space which suffices the need of Health Tourism.

• ‘’Science of Life’’

Municipal Services-

Electricity supply- Existing elec. the substation is provided within the site.

Water supply- No need for water supply from a municipal corporation because in summer also the water table is at 70 ft below the ground. So, the provision of borewell is enough.

Sewage disposal service- Generally, provision of septic tank is needed.

Potable water supply- In summer also the water table is at 70 ft below the ground, due to Manoli dam and Kadavi river which is under Pancha Ganga water basin, and because of reddish-brown soil, it contains bauxite, iron, and silica in a higher amount, so the water is ultra-soft in nature.

PHYSICAL FEATURES

 Location: The site seems to be a destination rather than a transition. It offers opportunities for development that will benefit the micro and macro context. The immediate area is naturally spirited, peaceful, and not too remote.

 Topography and Natural Environment: The site has a natural landscape in terms of plain land with gradual contour has red loamy soil. Fresh air all around due to neighboring green spaces. Existing vegetation in the proximity of the site which will be very effective. The site offers an opportunity to enhance the natural ecosystem while aiding the practice of spirituality.

 Socio-Culture: The surroundings embrace various social and cultural group in the area.

 Noise: Noise is a major factor in such centers. This site provides a quiet environment suitable for spiritual purpose due to the neighboring salient surroundings

-Radial form consist of linear form that extents outwards from a centrally located core element in a radiating manner.

Further it grows into network of center linked by linear arms

A. PERMEABLE PAVERS

-Permeable pavement does not require expensive specialty equipment like asphalt or concrete surfaces do. ...

-Durable.

-Sustainable.

-Low Cost.

Bioswales provide smart stormwater management system for facility managers interested in sustainability. Reduced Maintenance.

Reduces urban heat island effect and smog

Acts as a sound proofing barrier

Soil and plants are a natural filter that can clean the water that flows through the wall

Insulates and cools the building envelope, as well as protecting it from the elements

Contour bunding is a proven sustainable land management practice for marginal, sloping, and hilly land where the soil productivity is very low.

Vermicompost enhances plant growth, suppresses disease in plants, increases porosity and microbial activity in soil, and improves water retention and aeration.

Jali walls are walls which allow controlled passed of air and light into the interior space. The light through the jali throw patterns of light and shadow on the floor.

The construction process is very easy

It can be transformed into almost any shape for a wide range of uses

Because of their small thickness, lesser dead weight is created on the element

Weather Dependent.

Solar Energy Storage Is Expensive.

SOLAR HEATERS

The sun's thermal energy heats the fluid in the solar collectors. Then, this fluid passes through a heat exchanger in the storage tank, transferring the heat to the water. ... Closed-loop, or indirect, systems use a non-freezing liquid to transfer heat from the sun to water in a storage tank.

ORAGANIC WASTE

 These are a good source of macronutrients.

 Improves soil fertility.

 Cost-effective.

 Reduces soil erosion and leaching.

 Improves the physical properties of the soil and aerates the soil.

 Improves the water and nutrient holding capacity of the soil. It helps in killing weeds and pests.

Biogas is a gas mixture which is generated when organic compounds are fermented in the absence of air (anaerobic fermentation)

It comes in two types where, it can be in power saving and full mode , with the help of sensor detectors.

The Pictures above are of the sewage treatment plant at Govardhan ecovillage in Mumbai. This is a treatment plant which has plants growing out of the nutrients in it.

Central Sewage treatment Plant based on SOIL BIOTECHNOLOGY (SBT) system (Developed and Patented by IIT Bombay) is installed at the Govardhan Eco Village for processing of sewage.

Ferrocement is a construction material consisting of wire meshes and cement mortar.

Process of Ferrocement Construction :

 Fabricating the skeletal framing system.

 Applying rods and meshes.

 Plastering.

 Curing

LATRITE

STONE FOR WALLING SYSTEM

Advantages of laterite stone :

Being durable and resistant, masonry can withstand large amounts of compressive weight loads.

Masonry units increase the thermal mass of a building.

Masonry buildings have longer lifespans than any other building type.

Process of Quarrying Method:

It consists of following steps:

(i) Removal of top soil and levelling the surface,

(ii) Marking lines on levelled horizontal bed of laterite,

(iii) Moving cutters through these lines up to desired depth of stone

Advantages of ferro cement

The construction process is very easy

It can be transformed into almost any shape for a wide range of uses

Because of their small thickness, lesser dead weight is created on the element

Near about 20% savings can be obtained on materials cost.

It has high tensile strength

It has good resistance capacity against fire

It has strong waterproof capacity

Maintenance cost is low

DOMESTIC USE WATER CALCULATION

WATER CATCHMENT STORAGE TANK CALCULATION

TREATED LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT

Water required for lawn = 6 litres per sq.m

Total lawn area = 20,073

Total water required = 20,073 x 6 = 120438 Litres

Total Water required = Domestic + Landscape area = 35100 + 120438 = 155,540 litres
