“An overview of the significance of an architectural masterpiece- Sanchi stupa”
Abstract: The Sanchi stupa is one the most eminent constructions made about 2500 years after the passing of lord buddha and is an excellent example of Mauryan architecture. Stupa construction is advantageous in terms of karma for Buddhists. Hinduism and Buddhism both emphasize theimportance of karma, which is the energy produced by ones deeds and the moral repercussions of those deeds. The Sanchi stupa is an early structure made specifically with …

Exploring the Integration of Recycled Waste Materials in Concrete: A Comprehensive Overview
Abstract: The utilization of recycled materials from construction sites has experienced a notable increase in recent times, driven by the principle of efficient resource usage established by the International Council of Building in 1994. Recycled materials, including recycled concrete aggregate or brick aggregate sourced from construction and demolition waste, waste glass from municipal waste or recycled sources, and gypsum from gypsum boards, are being increasingly employed as substitutes for primary raw …

Innovative Application of Prefabs in Earthquake-Resistant Bridge Construction
Abstract: Abstract Pre-stressed concrete, widely known to be a prefabricated structure (Prefab in short) has long been accepted in statically loaded structures. Thus, we have seen the construction of pre-stressed concrete bridges, dams, pipelines, reservoirs and various structures including more recently atomic reactor pressure vessels. In recent years pre-stressed concrete has been specially used in seismic resistant structures. Just like any other new material, it will attract criticism and comment, sometimes …

Integrating 3D Printing Technology in Sustainable Interior Design forEnhanced Human Comfort and Environmental Stewardship
Abstract: As people spend nearly 70% of their time indoors, the quality of interior environments has a significant impact on human comfort, health, and overall well-being. Many indoor spaces are negatively affected by pollutants and toxins originating from construction materials, furnishings, surface finishes, and inadequate ventilation, often contributing to issues such as Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). Enhancing indoor environmental quality (IEQ) has therefore become a critical concern within sustainable design. This …

Assymmetrical development and urban Agglomeration issues in Shilong
Abstract: Abstract: The expansion of the hill city of Shillong has sprawled into an urban agglomeration that lacks organised urban management with a population that is not as well served through development schemes as the core municipal area. Over the past few decades, growth in the Municipal area has gradually decreased as population density has overshot acceptable limits. At the same time, new Census towns have enlarged the urban agglomeration with …

Seismic Wisdom in Stone: Structural Logic of Indian Temple Architecture
Abstract: Indian temple architecture has long been admired for its aesthetic perfection, ritual symbolism, and constructional ingenuity. Less celebrated – but equally remarkable – is its inherent seismic wisdom. Drawing upon textual canons (Vāstu Vidyā), geometric discipline (square and mandala-based layouts), and refined masonry craft, historic temples across India exhibit a suite of architectural and structural features that collectively enhance earthquake performance. This paper synthesizes evidence from classical treatises and modern …

Architectural Juggernaut: Decoding the Marvel
Abstract: The study's goal is to utilise natural systems, structures, and procedures to create long-term answers to social challenges. The Renaissance incorporated anthropometry into architecture, elevating man's social standing. A variety of variables influence these trends, including technical improvements, environmental concerns, cultural and sociological shifts, and changing client and user needs. These evolutions resulted in the terms "sustainable architecture" and "biomimicry," which essentially means "to imitate living things." It is a …
