Our research proposal focuses on identifying the construction systems with their respective material assemblies and developing a digital library for their corresponding EC values within Rhino/Grasshopper. The intent is to empower architects for early-stage decisions by enabling transparency in practices for construction assemblies. The scope of the project is cradle-to-gate (A1-A3), and the construction.

The Scholarship received helps to make enclosures for the Agariya community in Gujarat, using natural salt crystallisation process. The 'salt' itself becomes the focii of the community's life cycle, which best represents the interests of the society.
The naturally formed salt structures are hence multiplicative modules, and will eventually form a concentrated settlement, as opposed to the present nucleated one, and will solve the issues like shared learning, provision of basic amenities like… Show more
