Regenerative design is at the heart of the project. Socially, the pattern book looks to encourage variable live-work typologies, encouraging mixed use, dense urbanism, challenging the current North Indian norm of sprawling dormitory districts. In terms of materials and embodied carbon, the system looks to leverage the bioregional resources of quick-growing, carbon sequestering bamboo, and waste stone offcuts from local industry, reducing concrete demand. Further to this, nodal column and beam design with simply laid bamboo-lime composite floors allows adaptation, member replacement and disassembly. Exposed bamboo in the work spaces enhances biophilia, furthered by the creation of micro-habitats and ecological moments including climbing plants on facades and swift-boxes on roofs. Finally, the operational carbon footprint has been optimised through a sequence of 16 carefully designed and calculated passive and active environmental design strategies responding to the increasingly harsh climatic conditions across India, with a particular focusing on pre-treating airflows to reduce cooling loads.
