- 3. Today’sElectronicgadgetsare Tomorrow’sElectronicwaste UNDERSTANDING In olden days, sowing the seeds and then planting them was a regular practice of everyone. It is because of their idea we are able to enjoy all the resources very well. PERCEPTIONONSUSTAINING SOMETHING If we are cutting a tree to use its wood and other parts then we should plant at least one or more than one sapling at the same time, nourish, protect and hand it over to next generation We are using the resource but then making way for the future generations to use the resources as well.
- 4. Today’sElectronicgadgetsare Tomorrow’sElectronicwaste DEFINITION The definition for sustainable development is the one given by World Commission on Environment and Development (Brundtland Commission) which runs as the "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” SUSTAINABLEDEVELOPMENT
- 5. Today’sElectronicgadgetsare Tomorrow’sElectronicwaste SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Sustainable development ties together concern for the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social, political, and economic challenges faced by humanity. SUSTAINABLEDEVELOPMENT It contains within it two key concepts: • The concept of 'needs', in particular, the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and • The idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs. World Commission on Environment and Development Our Common Future (1987)

- 8. Today’sElectronicgadgetsare Tomorrow’sElectronicwaste SUSTAINABLE APPROACHES ALTERNATIVE RESOURCES • Solar Energy: completely free and is available in limitless supply of energy that is environmentally and financially effective and help reduce pollution • Wind Energy: the use of windmills at suitable location. This kind of energy is meant to service more than just the individual. MINIMISING WASTE OF EXISTING RESOURCES • Efficient Water Fixtures: Encouraging the installation of efficient shower heads, toilets and other water appliances can conserve one of Earth’s most precious resources: water. Examples: dual-flush and composting toilets. SUSTAINABLEAPPROACH
- 9. Today’sElectronicgadgetsare Tomorrow’sElectronicwaste SUSTAINABLE APPROACHES VIRGIN SOIL • Crop Rotation: the successive planting of different crops on the same land to improve soil fertility and help control insects and diseases. It is chemical-free and maximizes the growth potential of land. URBAN SOCIAL • Green Space: Green spaces include parks and other areas where plants and wildlife are encouraged to thrive are public great opportunities to outdoor recreation in dense, urban areas. Advantages of green spaces include helping regulate air quality and climate, reducing energy consumption by countering the warming effects of paved surfaces, recharging groundwater supplies and protecting lakes and streams from polluted runoff.

- 10. Today’sElectronicgadgetsare Tomorrow’sElectronicwaste SUSTAINABLE APPROACH IN ARCHITECTURE Sustainability not a concept but a function • Sustainable architecture is architecture that seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space and the ecosystem at large. • Sustainable architecture uses a conscious approach to energy and ecological conservation in the design of the built environment.

- 13. Today’sElectronicgadgetsare Tomorrow’sElectronicwaste PRINCIPLES OF LAURIE BAKER • Only accept a reasonable brief • Discourage extravagance and snobbery • Always study your site and see potential relating to the soil, drainage, power, fuel etc. • You yourself get accurate site details and in-situ facts • Every building should be unique; no two families are alike, so why should their habitation be alike? • Study and know local materials, cost, building techniques and construction • Study the energy used in the production of materials and transport • Don’t rob national resources; don’t use them extravagantly or unnecessarily • Be honest in design, materials, construction, costs and your own mistakes • Avoid opulance and showing-off by using currently fashionable gimmicks • Get your conscience out of deep-freeze, and use it • Look closely at your prejudices and question them • Have faith in your convictions and have the courage to stick to them SUSTAINABLEDEVELOPMENT
- 14. Today’sElectronicgadgetsare Tomorrow’sElectronicwaste DESIGN PRINCIPLES OF LAURIE BAKER LAURIE BAKERS architectural principles of • cost-effectiveness, • use of locally available materials, • respect for nature, • avoidance of energy intensive materials and • wastage minimization to create low-cost, beautiful, high quality buildings which long pre-empted modern concepts such as eco-friendliness and sustainable architecture. SUSTAINABLEDEVELOPMENT
- 15. Today’sElectronicgadgetsare Tomorrow’sElectronicwaste DESIGN APPROACH • Use Arches rather than lintels • Many varieties of arches flat, segmental, pointed rounded, corbelled, and so on. • All arch methods are equally suitable for mud wall construction • Remember to give adequate width of support walls to deal with the arch thrust. • Frame work, templates, arch frames must be removed immediately the arch is completed (to allow for compression as the mortar dries and shrinks) SUSTAINABLEDEVELOPMENT WINDOW OPENING
- 16. Today’sElectronicgadgetsare Tomorrow’sElectronicwaste DESIGN APPROACH • In many instances frameless doors and windows are acceptable and reduce both quantity of timber, labour and costs • Board and batten type shutters are less costly, use less labour and less timber than panelled shutters. • Glass is often not necessary. Only use when it has a useful purpose and is essential. • Glass manufacture is Energy intensive. • It is extravagant or unnecessary use SUSTAINABLEDEVELOPMENT DOORS & WINDOWS
- 17. Today’sElectronicgadgetsare Tomorrow’sElectronicwaste DESIGN APPROACH • Alternative slab in-situ systems include filler slabs (void formers) which reduce materials and cost by about 30%, but shuttering is costly. • Again, local balancing and comparing of overall costs, transport, labour, and energy used etc, have to be made before a choice is made and it will vary from place to place. SUSTAINABLEDEVELOPMENT FILLER SLABS
- 18. Today’sElectronicgadgetsare Tomorrow’sElectronicwaste DESIGN APPROACH JAALI WALL Jaali Wall is a better substitute for a glass window. It lets in general subdued light. It also deals with ventilation but prevents driving rain from entering. You can look from the inside to the outside but from the outside you cannot see inside. It is secure and thieves or animals cannot enter. SUSTAINABLEDEVELOPMENT BRICKS & BONDING •Use bricks in districts where it is made and is plentiful. 25% of bricks, mortar, cost etc can be saved by using the Rat trap Bond. This can also usually •4.5" walls are stable and strong if corrugated or buttressed. •9" walls are usually capable of being load bearing up to three storey height

Today’sElectronicgadgetsare Tomorrow’sElectronicwaste THE HAMLET, Trivandrum, Kerala Key features of his house are: • These tiles, which normally would be thrown away, contribute to the strength of the roof, allow less of the expensive concrete to be used, and reduce the structural load of the building. • He used broken tiles for the outer paved area of his garden. • The living room, An integration of new building and salvaged timber from traditional buildings that were being demolished. • Baker's innovative use of discarded bottles, inset in the walls giving a very good effect of light and creating an illusion of stained glass.
