WHY INDIA?
HUMAN APPROPRIATION OF NET PRIMARY PRODUCTION
CREDIT : NASA
This figure shows the global distribution of resource consumption as measured by the amount of net primary production (NPP) appropriated by humans. Global annual NPP refers to the total amount of plant growth generated each year. Plant growth may be measured in terms of grams of carbon used to build stems, leaves and roots. The darker areas on the map indicate greater appropriation of NPP by humans.
PERCENT OF NET PRIMARY PRODUCTION APPROPRIATED BY
HUMANS
CREDIT : NASA
This figure shows human appropriation of net primary production (NPP) as a percentage of the local NPP. The map provides insight into the percent of plant resource used by people in an area compared to the amount of plant resource that is actually available locally.
So the challenge is :
“How we can maintain the highest possible production of food and fibre while still preserving our biological assets in the face of global change”
This is can be done only by better management of Earth's rich biological heritage .
For the better management we have to understand patterns of consumption, and how the planetary supply of plant life relates to the demand for it .
Understanding the patterns of supply and demand is critical for identifying areas of severe human impact on ecosystems and planning for future growth.
And the INDIA is coming under that regions with greater demands than available plant-derived resources.
Thus this regions like INDIA may be more vulnerable to climate change and other socio-economic impacts in the near future.
PROJECT:
To Design and Develop a Model that can support and feed 45,000 people in a Sustainable fashion.
MAJOR FINDINGS :
60% OF THE WORLD POPULATION WILL BE SETTLE DOWN IN URBAN AREAS BY 2030.
MODERN AGRICULTURE PRACTICE WILL BE THE LARGEST CONSUMER OF LAND,WATER AND ENERGY OF THE PLANET.

CONCEPT ILLUSTRAION
PROFILE OF THE TOWN
THE IDEA WAS TO CREATE A
NEW LAYER OF SOCIAL INTERACTION
BY PROVIDING SUSTAINABLE LINKAGE BETWEEN
THE SCATTERED URBAN FRAGMENTS FOCUSING INFRASTRUCTURE AND AGRICULTURE .
THE VERTICAL FARM BUILDING ALONG WITH CITY CENTER WILL ACTS AS A CATALYST FOR THE
[ INFRACULTURE : AGRICULTURE ]
CONCEPT
AS IT PROVIDES FOOD, EFFICIENT USE OF WATER, ENERGY AND MOREOVER IT CATERS THE MAJOR
REQUIREMENT OF A TOWN AS A
RECREATIONAL CENTER WITH A CONCEPT OF (LIVE+WORK+RECREATE) WITHIN THE
CONVENIENT TRAVELLING DISTANCE OF THE OTHER MAJOR ATTRACTIONS OF THE DOWNTOWN. .
PROJECT AIMS AND GOALS:
1. To Design a Model that will comfortably feed the City of 45,000.
2.To Design a building that caters a Vegetative and non – Vegetative programme.
3. Organic Poultry and Fish Farming in an ethical fashion.
4. Zero emissions.
5. It must convert gray and black water to drinking water.
6.To conserve the environmentally important areas.
7.To ensure the social welfare and security of the society. ( Recreational spaces, Civic amenities, Housing )
DESIGN FEATURES:
PEDESTRINISATION OF THE URBAN CORE.
TO CREATE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY LIKANGES TO THE MAJOR ATTRACTIONS OF THE DOWNTOWN.
CITY CENTER TOWER CATERING UBRAN FARMING.
LARGE SCALE VEGETATIVE AND NON VEGETATIVE URBAN VERTICAL PROGRAMME .
ECO PLAZA AND RETAIL MARKET STREET.
ECO CIRCLE STREAM AND RIVESIDE WALK.
