Title: COURTYARD DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS OF COMPOSITE CLIMATIC ZONE OF INDIA Authors: Poreddiwar, Aayushi Nitin Abstract: India's construction industry is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases after the industrial sector, accounting for about 35% of the country's annual greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). 75% of the energy used in the construction industry is used in residential buildings. Over time, the total energy consumption of residential buildings has increased significantly. According to estimates, it is likely to reach 630 to 940 TWh by 2032. This sharp increase in the amount of energy used in residential buildings is due to several factors, including the increasing use of air conditioning systems based on decentralized rooms. Housing for comfort thermal. With the increase in household income, the demand for air conditioning will continue to expand exponentially and due to the increase in energy consumption, it will eventually overtake all other sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the country. A quick energy saving action plan is required in this situation.

Title: VISUAL IDENTITY OF RELIGIOUS PRECINCT OF HARIDWAR Authors: Kumawat, Abhinav Abstract: In the contemporary world, every city has an identity which is reflected through its Art and Architecture. These identities are framed due to its unique past and have blended under the amalgamation of various religious rulerships. Under the huge pressure of urbanization, the landscapes of various cities have started to look similar and their visual identities are getting depleted. Since the identity of a city is widely infused by its historic landscapes, it is necessary to conserve these areas by protecting their tangible and non tangible values. Their urban facades need to be analyzed to understand the saliency of various elements that are contributing to the identity of these Historic Urban Landscapes. The salient elements need to be preserved to preserve the identities of these landscapes and thereby identity of the city. This paper takes the case of Haridwar which is a religiously important city and analyzes its Religious Precinct to understand the saliency of various elements that makes it unique from other religious cities. The main objective was to evaluate the architecture of the city’s urban façade through recall tasks and identify the various elements by semiotic assessment. The results were validated by assessing people’s visual experience through eye trackers. Outcomes include a palette for the identity design for the precinct and a list of preferences of people that can help in framing different policies to enhance it’s identity.

Title: Investigating System(s) of Making in the Hindu Temples of Jajpur Town, Odisha Authors: Jain, Aditya Abstract: The research investigates the system(s) of making in Hindu Temples of Jajpur town, Odisha. Hinduism is one of the oldest religions of India. The Hindu temple architecture has a long and significant history. It highlights variations that have happened due to numerous factors related to the region's social, geographical, and ecological conditions. One of the regional styles seen in India is the Kalinga temple architecture, which is followed in Jajpur, and constructed during 5th C.E. to 15th C.E. It has not been documented and discussed at length, compared to other sites of temple architecture in the surrounding regions. The objectives of this research are - to develop a chronological account of the identified Hindu Temple architecture of Jajpur and to investigate and analyse the system(s) of making seen in these sites. The researcher has employed a case study-based approach, which is spread across three phases – Archival Research, Visual and Architectural documentation and Inventory Analysis. Oral and Visual Narratives are documented on-site, along with the measured drawings and sketches. The documented data is analysed through inventory analysis and spatial analysis. The findings from the study contribute in creating awareness about less popular (visited) temple sites of Jajpur; developing the pedagogy of temple architecture (and history of architecture); and showcasing and promoting the Indian Knowledge systems that are embedded in temple architecture of India in general, and the selected region, in particular. From the research parameters emerging out of each phase of the research are concluded which can be referred while recommending guidelines for the preservation of existing temples and conceptualisation of new temples in the Jajpur region of Odisha

Title: REJUVENATION OF CHAKTAI KHAL, CHATTOGRAM, BANGLADESH Authors: Saha, Archita Abstract: Water has been a significant concern in urban planning since its inception. A significant number of ancient civilizations, such as the Minoan, Mesopotamian, and Egyptian civilizations, emerged near water sources (Lakmali & Premarathna, 2017). The early development of civilizations can be attributed to the fulfilment of fundamental necessities required for the daily lives of its inhabitants, including but not limited to potable water, domestic use, agricultural production, industrial activities, and leisure (Lakmali & Premarathna, 2017). The presence of an urban water body can exert a noteworthy influence on the physical, social, biological, environmental, and economic dimensions of an urban terrain, thereby conferring a distinctive character to a city (Lakmali & Premarathna, 2017). Additionally, a water body helps to preserve a city's conceived memory and historical legacy by helping to create an identical image of the city (Lakmali & Premarathna, 2017). Cities are losing connectivity with their water resources because of the so-called urbanization process. Most often, unplanned urban sprawl has changed waterbodies into places that are neglected and hidden from the view of city dwellers. Thus, the areas around the waterbodies turn into brownfield and blight areas. The rapid rate of urbanization is resulting in detrimental effects on their hydrology and their ecology. By 2050, 68% of the global population is expected to reside in urban regions, as reported by Global Urbanization Prospects (World Urbanization Prospect : The 2018 Revision: Key Aspects, 2018). More demographic increase in urban areas denotes more impervious land, thus less rainfall infiltration into the soil, causing historically unprecedented flooding events (Tingsanchali∗, 2011). Increased urbanization and climate change are causing pluvial flooding in cities ( Ahmed, Meenar, & Alam, 2019). Annual expected flooding-related damage in the UK exceeds £1 billion (O’Donnella, Thornea, Ahilan, Arthur, & Birkinshaw). Economic losses from floods are just part of the story when you include the indirect costs, which include things like ecosystem service degradation, business interruption, supply chain shocks, and welfare consequences (such effects on health and wellbeing). (O’Donnella, Thornea, Ahilan, Arthur, & Birkinshaw).
