ANANGPUR BUILDING CENTRE AND RESIDENCE
The Anangpur Building Centre is

an entrepreneur Building Centre
initiated in 1991 by Prof. Anil Laul,
who has been involved with
pioneering work in the field of
Appropriate Technologies for
three decades.
The issues it addresses are right

from the Brick as a basic element
in building and its appropriateness
to high-end technology structures
such as Space Frames and
Geodesics.
Recycling comes naturally to Laul. His projects used bits and pieces of waste to
make aesthetically appealing structures that are eco-friendly and rooted to the
community and tradition.

Extensive tree plantation was done for

too. Architect’s residence
During the monsoon when there is a threat of floods, a drainage system has
been built in such a way that no water collects around the structure. The drain
empties into areas a little away from the house but no water leaves the
premises.
The kitchen and

bath wastewater
empty near the
banana and papaya
trees in the garden
– another novel
method to
watering the plants
but in a cost-
efficient way.
According to Laul, this was quarried land when he bought it way back in
1987.
He also said that since most of the construction materials were already
available here, all they needed were laborers to work.
He wanted to preserve the natural look of the land as far as possible and
worked with the elements of nature including the sun and wind.
•During the monsoon when there is a threat of floods, a drainage system

has been built in such a way that no water collects around the structure.
•The drain empties into areas a little away from the house but no water
leaves the premises.
•The kitchen and bath wastewater empty near the banana and papaya
trees in the garden – another novel method to watering the plants but in
a cost-efficient way.
•The garden is landscaped by boulders and the impressive stone steps

leading into the house, the courtyard and passages have all been
constructed with stone left over from the construction of the house.
An interesting facet of the house is that it is built below mean ground level
and according to the architect, there is logic in this surprise element and it
is to do with insulation. Also, the house becomes earthquake-resistant.
Says the architect:

"The thickness of
the walls insulates
the house in such a
manner that it is
cool in summer and
warm during
winter. We seldom
need to use the air
conditioner.”
Instead of using regular bricks that are 3

or 4 inches in breadth for the walls, Laul
used stones that are 12 to 18 inches thick.
By and large, the lighting is natural.

The living room is a picture of
perfection, particularly in the early
evenings when the low sun filters
through the latticework of the wide
windows lighting up the huge stone
steps that lead into the central
courtyard.
The architect has used a revolutionary concept in roofing, the funicular shell,
to great effect. The funicular shell is more efficient than the standard RCC
(Reinforced Cement Concrete) as far as insulation and weather protection
are concerned.
The ceiling is patterned

with bricks and each
pattern is different,
adding an interesting
dimension to the interior.
The concrete beams run

diagonally to the walls of
the building, for
earthquake resistance.
Colored tiles, pieces of marble, waste granite... all have been recycled and
used in some way, adding to the house's allure.
The house has been painted just once in its lifetime.
This is because according to him paint is the main cause of environmental

degradation.
Sofas, beds,
bathtubs, The interiors are
counters are tastefully
all inbuilt, accentuated by
thus reducing accessories,
the cost of giving the home
furnishings a modern look.
drastically.
Contrary to popular belief, low-cost housing

is not a structure for the poor, it means
cutting unnecessary expenditure even while
building a beautiful house.
It is about reducing construction costs by

using alternative methods of construction,
using local and indigenous building
materials, local skills, energy savers and
environment-friendly options and other
effective measures.
BIOCLIMATIC SCHOOL AT VADODARA
- ASHOK RAJE GAEKWAD SCHOOL
The architecture of the Bioclimatic Primary School at Vadodara focuses on

increasing the efficiency of resource use while reducing the impact of the
building on human health and the environment.
Construction practices employed in the school break away from the

conventional system of RCC platforms and support and optimize the use of
waste materials in the building.

The architect
BIOCLIMATIC SCHOOL AT VADODARA ditched the
DESIGN EVOLUTION rectangular layout
of the classroom
and decided to
use triangular
shape as he feels
that conventional
classrooms are
mere boxes that
are designed for
the convenient
fitting of furniture,
irrespective of the
needs of the
people and the
functions
involved.
A triangular classroom unit serves students better as it allows a fan-shaped

seating arrangement.
These units are

connected on a
triangular grid to
achieve a layout that
has a series of
interactive spaces,
avoiding any kind of
passages.
This modular
subdivision and
interlinking of spaces
make for easy
flowing spaces
where pupils can just
sit and relax and
exchange ideas.
CLIMATE RESPONSIVE DESIGN
Vadodara has a tropical climate

where the temperature goes up to 45
degrees Celsius during summer and
can be as low as -1 degree Celsius
during winter.
The building envelope is designed to

respond to these climatic variations.
The central courtyard acts as an
effective ventilation mechanism
during both summer and winter.
CLIMATE RESPONSIVE DESIGN
SOLAR TRANSMISSION CAN BE AS LOW SOLAR TRANSMISSION CAN BE AS

AS 20% FOR A MATURE TREE IN THE HIGH AS 70% FOR A MATURE TREE IN

Deciduous trees on the site have been used strategically in the design
to provide shade during summer and allow the sunlight to passively
heat the building during winter when they shed their leaves.

The school has been designed towards holistic sustainability, using

recycled materials, appropriate technologies and combining it with
social equity via labour-intensive methodology and a women-
empowerment scheme.

FUNICULAR SHELLS
- A simple yet
splendid ROOFING
SYSTEM using
natural recycled
materials
This lends its own
character to each
learning space and
adds immensely to
the interior.
TYPICAL
The funicular shell roof is a compression structure which ensures conservation

of natural resources by utilising waste materials effectively and optimising the
use of expensive steel and cement.

GREEN FEATURES
ARCHES The school has arched windows with high
ventilators that let in glare-free light into
the classrooms and large open-plan
spaces. Good daytime lighting results in a
considerable reduction in the dependence
on artificial lighting throughout the
building.
TWIN LEACH PIT- SYSTEM GREEN FEATURES
The system separates waste water from sewage on location, which
dispenses the need for centralised sewage treatment plants.
 This system is also water efficient, as it requires less water for utilisation,
and by-products can later be used as manure.
Leach pits are designed to accommodate a person’s average daily use.
An individual is estimated to require 10 litres when using the facilities

twice a day.
The pits have an absorption capacity of 20 litres per square metre.
Twin leach pits are alternated every 18 months resulting in clean, dry,
and odourless manure that can be used as fertiliser.
 The process is made more efficient by using a carbon and limestone

lining.
JAUNAPUR SLUM RESETTLEMENT SCHEME
The story of Jaunapur begins in 996, with a Supreme Court directive, stating
that 3600 illegal squatters from Delhi's ecologically sensitive Southern Ridge
forest area be resettled on its outskirts
A low income housing project (under process) whose concept hinges

around appropriate land choice by using degraded highland as the primary

A 50 mm layer of terrocrete is
laid & finally claded with
magalore tiles.
FEATURES USED
Hollow Core interlocking Block, Three Centered Arch Openings,
Nanakshahi brick and The Funicular Shell Roof
THE RESIDENCE HAS THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL CREDITS :
Environmental friendly : The manufacture and construction of these

systems puts waste materials to good use, and does not depend on
external sources for either manpower or raw materials. Most of the
materials have been sourced locally and the structures were built with
the help of workers from within the local area.
Earthquake resistant structure : The interlocking blocks, the A-frames and

the funicular shell roofing that are used, have proved to be the only
successful construction methodologies for earthquake resistant
structures.
True Value for Money : The building used far less concrete and steel than
conventional structures, reducing costs. Since the product is
manufactured on the site there is a tremendous amount of saving in
transportation costs. In the clients words: “I have spent the same as a
regular house of this size, but got a house unmatched in aesthetics,
finish, and it is naturally air-conditioned.”
