DEVELOPMENT

• dedicated to individual and community

upliftment, justice, coexistence and

unfettered exchange — a space of physical,

spiritual and social well-being and

belonging.

• harnessing plural traditions of social,

environmental and technological

knowledge, through research, advocacy and

active social engagement, to drive processes

of rehabilitation, self-empowerment and

sustainable livelihood development.

• demonstrating the will to survive, most

evident in various ingenious, locally-rooted

(contemporary, common, ’alternative’)

techniques and models of sustainable

living that, in doing ‘more with less,’

respect our social and natural commons.

• exemplifying a worldview oriented toward

universal ethical & spiritual values through

active social engagement.

The centre will actively cooperate with

• Disciplined by ongoing (self)reflection, defining ‘social

spirituality’ for social action

• Mediating eternal values in planning action directed

toward human empowerment

• Analysing and building relationships/networks between

social advocacy groups

ADVOCACY AND AWARENESS-BUILDING

• Reasserting the moral and spiritual basis of religion over

its parochial, territorial and materialist variants, as avital resource to spur social development

• Reclaiming the moral authority cynically co-opted by a

politics of caste and ethnic discrimination, bringing a justspirituality back into public life

• Creating accessible fora for multi-cultural, inter-

community dialogue

• Sounding the need for redressal, reconciliation &

accountability for all forms of social oppression, througha wide variety of media

SOCIAL ACTION

• Creating delivery channels, through grassroots activism

and networking, between people’s needs and theresources at the disposal of various political, religiousand socio-economic institutions

• Generating sustainable livelihood opportunities towards

rehabilitating victims of caste, ethnic, gender, labour orclass oppression, working steadily towards eradicatingall discrimination, exploitation and violence born ofsocially-constructed inequity

• Facilitating physical, spiritual and social health through

a range of guided activities at the centre, and throughoutreach to communities in the region and elsewhere

Children’s Crèche Once communities and children have been rescued

from bonded labour, there is an urgent need to

impart basic training to prevent their return to

exploitative situations. This is best achieved in a

rehabilitation centre that is set apart from their

original impoverished conditions. The centre is

thus crucial to the efforts of the Bandhua Mukti

Morcha, as a halfway house and training centre

for the rehabilitation of communities, women and

children.

The 'Baalwaari' programme offers multiple

opportunities for self-empowerment through

skill development in a range of appropriate

technologies & arts, helping each person closer

to a sustainable productive role as a full-fledged

member of society.

An attempt will be made to trap the rain water from all roof surfaces. This water will be stored in a large central reservoir. From this point the water will be introduced to the water supply system for domestic, produc-tion and hydroponic use.

The complex will attempt to meet its food requirements by on-site production of vegetable through hydroponics.

As a public demonstration, hydroponic techniques will be used in the construc-tion of the topiary pergola (running as a spine through the complex). These will generate shade and pronounced cooling and insulation effect. Most of hydroponic trays/elements will be built into ame-nable and accessible planes/surfaces of the adobe architecture.

BIOMASS UTILIZATION

WATER HARVESTING

Reducing energy in use> use maximum possible low

embodied energy insulation, but with good ventilation

> use of low energy lighting and electrical appliances

To harness solar and wind energy, dwellings will accommodate solar panels, 50% transparent to natural light. Supplementary energy from wind trapped by the aero-generator and wind-catcher arrangements (as in Sindh, Egypt etc.)

The energy produced by sun and wind will be converted to electrical energy which can either be stored in batteries accommodated in a facility that will monitor the generation and utilization of power or connected to the main electrical grid. Connection to the main-grid or batteries is essential as there may be periods in which the systems cannot generate sufficient energy. In case of battery connection, main-grid connection can be provided as a backup.

Electricity will be used largely for night-lighting, cooking, home appliances and workshop machinery (and motor-driven components of the support systems), but less for microclimate control. Heating of water distributed through the main supply will be done using a solar water thermo-syphonic heater. It is possible to reduce the climatisation demand by putting it onto a thermal source.

Human waste will be treated biologically by anaerobic digestion of it using an Imhoff tank. The grey water produced will be reclaimed to an extent of 60% and forward for recyling. The water cycling facilities will use the root-zone system to treat the grey water from anaerobic digester and housekeeping / domestic utilities. The root zone system will be placed along pas-sages and walkways and in larger areas wher-ever available. The system will be hermetically (transparently perhaps) sealed as the process is not entirely odour-free.

Roof water harvesting systems

The complex could serve as a public platform for methods and technologies of sustainability being developed and applied all over the world since Agenda 21 was cpm-mitted to by many nations at the Rio Earth Summit in ‘92.

Today some technologies devised to utilize renewable resources have passed the stage of single research and pilot projects, and are commer-cially viable in certain contexts. Some have been adopted by entire countries, such as active harness-ing of solar energy in Cyprus and Israel, hydroponics in Denmark or generation of electricity from wind-power in many coastal regions. We take heart from the example set by diverse communities such as

Minimising internal pollution and damage to health> use non toxic material, or

low emission materials > ensure good natural ventilation> reduce dust and allergents

Reducing embodied energy and resource depletion> use locally stored materials

> use low energy materials, keeping high embodied energy materials to a minimum

Minimising external pollution & enviornmental damage> design in harmonious relationship

with the surroundings to avoid destruction of natural habitats.

> treat and recycle waste water on site

‘ELEMENTAL’MEANINGS, MATERIALS, MORPHOLOGIESIn the ancient wisdom of several cultures, all matter wascomposed in varying proportions of four (or five) elements:earth, water/wood, fire/metal, air, (and ether/space)

Today the composition of matter (each of these ‘elements’ infact) is known to be far more complex. However theelements still provide a very useful and intuitive way, richwith cultural symbolism, of looking at how buildingsinteract with the world.

For architecture is space created of material taken from theearth, serviced with water and fire, and that interacts withthe land, the hydrosphere, the heat and the atmospherethat its occupants depend on for survival.

Although there are no rigid zones viz.architectural styles, systematic grouping/overlaps/transitions will generate(multi)functional/circulation spaces mediatingbetween the public and private domain.
