The design of bridges is not only an engineers' area of expertise, but the functionality, the seamlessly effective urban integration, and the aesthetic quality of these public work spectacles fall definitively in the architects’ domain. This studio intends to study and analyze different bridges in the world built by architects through various mediums of research. ARCHITECTONICS OF BRIDGES

Harshada Bapat Shintre : : : : : : : : : : : https://issuu.com/aoa_confluence_2022/docs/1635_prajwals_ddbook : Studio Conductors : : : Building Materials are considered a very important part of the construction sector in today’s time. There is a major concern about resource consumption and the ever-growing environmental impacts of the built structure. The world at this moment is consuming resources for building construction more than it can produce for which eventually will result in a total depletion of these resources and one would have to continue looking for alternative building materials in order to continue constructing. Urban materials of construction have dominated the construction industry. These materials are much more powerful in terms of systematic, mass and vertical construction. But now as the concern for alternative sources of material has raised and as technology has evolved over the time. It is essential to explore alternative sources of materials, which will provide solution to the construction industries. On the other hand world faces an issue of waste generation over the years. India being 18% of world’s human population account for nearly 27% of world’s municipal solid waste generated every year. The curiosity arises if this waste can be used as an alternative building material. In addition, it is necessary to study if these newly generated materials can be adopted in terms of strength, compression and stability and if these materials can cope up with the existing building materials in terms of usage, cost and work efficiency. Hence, the necessity to back up the data and study arrives. The research talks about the viability impact of these materials in comparison to different material. Waste: As Material of Construction

Two elements: People and infrastructure form the foundation of the city's development and influence each other in a loop. Infrastructure is a ‘basic physical framework’ which ensures smooth working of the city and comfort of its people. Our cities have witnessed the use of infrastructure planned centuries ago like Railways, Churches, Temples, government buildings, Libraries, etc. as well as advanced proposals like Underground-elevated Metros, Bridges, Coastal roads, Flyovers, etc. These physical systems were developed and planned in a specific Time frame and it ensured the best usage then. Jail being one such system established by the Britishers which is functional even today, but Are they efficient and suffice the demands as they did 100-150 years ago? Are they relevant today? Can such infrastructure adapt to the changing perspective of the people, their demands and make them suitable for future cities? The dissertation thus put forth an inquiry of how Jails (sit right in the core, as a crumbling infrastructure) can be adapted to form an ‘Urban Courtyard’ and explored further to make it more relevant to developing smart cities. The study aims to understand the development and needs of the city, its smart future, and the impact of this growth on aging infrastructure. Adapting to the changes, the intervention can thus be an opportunity benefiting the city and its people. KEYWORDS: Old infrastructure, Jails, Time frames, Relevance, Future smart City, Adaptability, Urban courtyard नगरांगण – Exploring Jail Infrastructure as an Urban courtyard.

Sanjay Mehta : : : : : : : : : : : https://issuu.com/aoa_confluence_2022/docs/atharvar_47_dd_book_for_issuu : Studio Conductors : : : The DMIC (Delhi – Mumbai Industrial Corridor) project was launched in pursuance of a MOU signed between the Government of India and the Government of Japan in December 2006. "The project’s aim is to create a business model out of urbanization and the trunk infrastructure would help in land monetization and undertaking-specific greenfield and brownfield industrial and physical infrastructure projects. While the corridor stretches from Dadri to JNPT the JNPT near Mumbai, it engages six more states in it namely, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra. In Maharashtra, an additional elongation of the corridor has been decided and to connect the JNPT and the Dighi Port from the Raigad district was the new plan. Because of these unexpected alterations in the project, the state government started acquiring land of the people from the district on a very short notice. These resulted in the protest against the project as the people were totally unaware of the purpose for the land acquisition, their unassured Rehabilitation and were also unsatisfied about the compensation promised for their land. Many farm lands and undocumented lands of the adivasis were also illegally acquired by the land agents even before the project was announced to the common people. Raigad being very close in proximity with Mumbai and Navi Mumbai and also because of the smooth connectivity through both roadways and waterway, the district has been always under rapid urbanization and several infrastructural developments. This has been a threat to the farming sector and the agricultural graph is seen to be continuously falling down. With the industrialization and enhancement of the corporate sector because of the DMIC the leftover agricultural land would undoubtedly be abandoned and people will have no option but to leave farming and move towards the private sector. There needs to be a platform established for the farming community and the youth to emphasize the scope in the field to give them enough reason to direct and advance their skills in the agriculture sector. Hence, educating and empowering not only the farmer’s group but also the new generation is necessary to sustain farming for a longer run and balance the agriculture and the industrial sector after completion of the DMIC project by the year 2035. A farmers’ training institute where advanced farming methods and modern strategies for better yield are proposed in the research. It will be assisted with tourist facilities to promote the fundamental program and also the context of the selected site highly demands the assisted program. Large emphasis of the program is to work for the beneficiaries of the affected villages by the DMIC and to provide employment opportunities through farming as a medium. Hence, promoting FPO (Farmer producer organization) which will also look upon the outsource of the produce and can become a reliable solution in the initial building phase of the project. The research involves study of the existing socio economic fabric of the affected villages of Raigad district and what transition would it go through in the development phase of the DMIC. Its positive and negative impact on the locals and what initiatives would aid the farming community to sustain in the near and the long future is catered in the program formulation part of the research. To ensure the cohesive working of the industrial and the agricultural sector in the affected region by the Delhi Mumbai Industrial corridor and finding appropriate proposals for the interest of the people has been the ultimate purpose of the research.
