| Sumario: | Developing countries need better public infrastructure for promoting urban lifestyle and better urban identity. India being one of the faster developing countries, its need for infrastructure is growing at an unprecedented rate catering to high densities of urban and semi-urban population. But due to the lack of skilled workers and use of old insitu techniques in building construction the speed, cost, quality and design of construction is hampered at large. Though now India looks ready to accept the change in its building construction techniques and accept newer ways. Precast/fab in building construction is one of the most suitable technology to tackle the current issues. The thesis project investigates the current state of building construction and design to understand the scope of its integration with precast/fab technology in building construction along with use of generative design tools and other software to rationalize and improvise the designs. The project tries to understand the context (climate, technology, logistics) and user (culture, habitation) to develop or design a few different components made by precast technique and re-imagine the contemporary building identity of the place. |
