ARCHITECTURAL THESIS

“An experiment with the design, development, and assembly of Operating Modules allowing further branching.”

The importance of the emergence of agriculture can hardly be overstated. When we look back in history, we see that many great civilizations began as agrarian societies. Since agriculture and farming are the primary causes of population growth, new technologies and production techniques were developed to keep up with the population increase. As a result of the increase in surplus, trade and wealth are created along with hierarchical social structures. Consequently, allow for the development of a complex civilization.

a.branching of individual modules

In Tamil Nadu, water is a serious limiting factor for agricultural growth, as the state has harnessed almost the entire available irrigation potential. This project engages in ideology of effective farming with use of architecture and technology to sustain for the present and future needs with other factors such as tourism and commercial supporting for sustaining in terms of Economy, Culture.

Attention on encient management of available resources so as to enhance its utility through application of new concept of architecture and technologies to support farming for future and adapting for future.

This thesis focuses on how to improve the space for public, in a sustainable way, bonding to the prevailing culture of agriculture in an ‘Alternate
