trying to work with different kind of materials was the second exercise.taking a square of 200mm x 200mm we designed a composition of curved and straight lines. the model was a minimum thickness of 8 mm in the third dimension.16 such squares were then arranged to form a composition .copper plto form a composition .copper plate was then treated with chemicals and heated to clad it to the composition.

using stick and glue as a the only two materials to make an intersting usbale object was the challnege of the brief.

taking this as a bsic form and using them in different sizes to create a “LAMP” in the formof a wall hanging.ppaper is used a cladding material to get an interesting play of light and shadow.

we took it furthur by adding colours to it and making a colourful composition.

the study tour to tarkarli goa was made effective by studying the local houses in the hadi village in tarkarli. the basic planning of the houses were documented and presented.mud, stone and manglore tiles used for the construction of the houses was studied by the class.a a part of the documentation is shown as follows.

this house is 80 years old. it was designed for a nuclear family where there are three families residing. each having a different kitchen and bedroom.and they are located surrounding the common surrounding the common gathering area.

the materials used are as follows:1.laterite stone: for the walls and foundation.2.cowdung-as flooring material.3.wood- for joineries and as beams and columns. 4.mud- as plaster on walls.4.mud- as plaster on walls.5. manglore tiles:these were used as roofing element.

axonometric views showing the progress of the construction of house.

doordoor being an door being an important part of indian house. the intricate detailing and carving seen on the door and its frame symbolise the richnerichness of the family since ancient times.

the verandah was an important feature of every house that opened in the living room and acted as a gathering place.

the 80 year old construction was done using traditional methods and traditional materials. laterite stone formed the basic material which was used for most of the construction.

the renovation of the house was done 20 years ago and the new house was then built of concrete.

FLAT SLAB:· THE LOAD ON THE FLOOR IS CARRIED OUT DIRECTLY TO THE COLUMNS WITHOUT THE USE OF BEAMS IS CALLED FLAT SLAB.· GENERALLY THICKER(12MM OR MORE) THAN BEAM AND SLAB, BUT MORE ECONOMICAL WHEN THE LIVE LOADS ARE HEAVY.· COLUMN SPACING RANGES FROM 6 TO 9M.

ADADVANTAGES:-· FORMWORK REQUIRED IS SIMPLE.· FLAT CEILING GIVES APPEARANCE AND LARGE CLEAR SPACES.· BETTER LIGHTING FACILITIES.· SAVINGS IN STOREY HEIGHT.· SUITED WHERE LIVE LOADS ARE HEAVY.

RIBBED AND WAFFLE SLABS PROVIDE A LIGHTER AND STIFFER SLAB THAN AN EQUIVALENT FLAT SLAB, REDUCING THE EXTEND OF FOUNDATIONS. THEY PROVIDE A VERY GOOD FORM WHERE SLAB VIBRATION IS AN ISSUE, SUCH AS LABORATORIES AND HOSPITALS.

RIBBED SLABS ARE MADE UP OF WIDE BAND BEAMS RUNNING BETWEEN COLUMNS WITH EQUAL DEPTH NARROW RIBS SPANNING THE ORTHOGONAL DIRECTION. A THICK TOP SLAB COMPLETES THE SYSTEM.

WWAFFLE SLABS TEND TO BE DEEPER THAN THE EQUIVALENT RIBBED SLAB. WAFFLE SLABS HAVE A THIN TOPPING SLAB AND NARROW RIBS SPANNING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS BETWEEN COLUMN HEADS OR BAND BEAMS. THE COLUMN HEADS OR BAND BEAMS ARE THE SAME DEPTH AS THE RIBS.

as designers we have planned our design to inter-relate the source of wastage and our sewage treatment plant and hence profiting the governement and citizens.

considering the post sandy rebuilding process homes are now being risen above the ground. home owners are either relocating or repairing their houses to an extent but this disrupts the essence of coastal community.keeping in mind the strength and its effect on the communities character a prototype is to be designed that merges with the communities fabric and is also resilient to storm.a planned rebuilding effoa planned rebuilding effort considering the neighbourhood rhythmn will not result in an amalgamation of different ideas that destroy the character of the neighbourhood.

the design should comply with FEMA rules and also be accepted by the people of the community.dedetails like streetscape, typology of the houses, landscape, aesthetic look and the materials to be used should be considered such that the cohesion of the neighbourhood is maintained.

the structure needs to stand a balance of resistance and flexibility towards self sustainance from stormsthe materials used traditionally in new jersey is wood for construction of dwellings does not withstand harsh wind pressure by hurricanes.a combina combination of materials as a balance to resistance and flexibility from the wind pressure makes the structure self sustainable.concrete forms the main structural support nd service core of the structure.they are protective spaces shielded during sitduring situations of calamities.
