Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the

3. Use Local Materials
When you’re building a home out of
materials harvested in some distant land,
they have to travel a long way to make it to
your little plot. This creates an unnecessarily
high carbon footprint and also reduces the
level of control you have over how those
materials are harvested. But if you use local
materials, as will be the case with Gaza’s 20
new Eco-Schools, your carbon footprint
shrinks considerably and benefits your local
economy.
Use Natural Materials
Natural materials not only have more aesthetic appeal, at least in
our view, but it turns out that they are better for our health. A
home that is built with a porous natural material such as mud or
stone or lime breaths and promotes natural circulation in the
home. Anything else creates a terribly unhealthy internal
environment. Natural materials also promote day lighting and
superior acoustics, whereas all kinds of interventions are
required in more artificial surroundings.
Recycle Materials
We belong to a throwaway culture –
something the earth’s finite resources
simply can’t support. Recycling
materials not only gives new life to
something discarded or disused, but
also provides an opportunity to be
creative and resourceful.

adverse situations into favourable conditions” – B.V.Doshi
“See Corbusier told me once, which I think is important that, even where
there is somebody standing behind you, who is better than you and you
are answerable to him” – B.V.Doshi

5. IIM-B
by BV.DOSHI
• Spread out over a lush 100 acre campus, the
Indian Institute of Management (Bangalore) on
Bannerghatta Road is one of the country’s premier
academic institutions. In contrast to some
institutions who practice and study sustainability
at the corporate strategy and academic level but
don’t translate that into initiatives upon their own
campus.
• . The construction of the entire complex is made
simple and standardized using exposed concrete,
lattices, frames, and wall system using rough
blocks of local gray granite

“My lighting is different from that of Corbusier and Louis khan.
Contrast IIM Banglore with that of Kahn at Ahmedabed. IIM B is more
like walking through a garden.”

9. It is not just because stone was in ‘fashion’ around the time that this
building was designed, but also because stone is the ultimate
symbol of strength.

10. In order to estimate the
environmental impact of a
construction material, it is
necessary to consider all stages

•Careful selection of environmentally sustainable building materials is the easiest way
for architects to begin incorporating sustainable design principles in building.
Traditionally price has been the foremost consideration when comparing similar
materials or materials designated for the same function
•The use of readily available, environment-friendly materials contributes towards
a sustainable habitat. An environmentfriendly material is made from recycled material
that uses only renewable energy in its extraction,production, and transport, and can be
reclaimed and recycled.

12. Physical Properties and Uses of
Marble
Marble occurs in large deposits that can be hundreds of feet thick and geographically
extensive. This allows it to be economically mined on a large scale with some mines
and quarries producing millions of tons per year.
Most marble is made into either crushed stone or dimension stone. Crushed stone is
used as an aggregate in highways, railroad beds, building foundations and other types
of construction. Dimension stone is produced by sawing marble into pieces of specific
dimensions. These are used in monuments, buildings, sculptures, paving and other
projects. We have an article about "the uses of marble" that includes photos and
descriptions of marble in many types of use.
Colour: Marble is usually a light-coloured rock. When it is formed from a limestone
with very few impurities it will be white in colour. Marble that contains impurities such
as clay minerals, iron oxides or bituminous material can be bluish, gray, pink, yellow or
black in colour.

13. • Hardness: Being composed of calcite, marble has a hardness of three on the Mohs
hardness scale. As a result, marble is easy to carve and that makes it useful for
producing sculptures and ornamental objects. The translucence of marble makes it
especially attractive for many types of sculptures.
The low hardness and solubility of marble allows it to be used as a calcium additive
in animal feeds. Calcium additives are especially important for dairy cows and egg-
producing chickens. It is also used as a low hardness abrasive for scrubbing
bathroom and kitchen fixtures.
Ability to Accept a Polish: After being sanded with progressively finer abrasives,
marble can be polished to a high luster. This allows attractive pieces of marble to be
cut, polished and used as floor tiles, architectural panels, facing stone, window sills,
stair treads, columns and many other pieces of decorative stone.
• Acid Reaction: Being composed of calcium carbonate, marble will react in contact
with many acids, neutralizing the acid. It is one of the most effective acid
neutralization materials. Marble is often crushed and used for acid neutralization in
streams, lakes and soils.

14. The use of locally available material like stone, exposed brick, laterite or mud
tend to reduce the over all foot print of the project.

15. Conclusion
• “It is very important to understand the
complexities which are relatively self-contained
and how architects conceptualized
sustainability in the design of houses”.
• “Sustainable architecture is most likely to
result from the inclination of architects to
perform beautiful acts”.
• Use of locally available materials of the
Bangalore region to create sustainable and
economical.
