Analysing the Impact of Horizontal Shading Device – A Case of Octagonal Shape Building
January, 2017
Daylight is one of the important factors improving the quality of lifestyle and efficient building ergonomics. There are many software and websites, which provide us stereographic projections of any region at any geographical locations. These charts support us to understand solar azimuth and solar altitude angle and generate shadow angles at any specific time and month of the year. The selected study area is Hyderabad, India and the conclusions derived are the dimensions of horizontal shading devices as sunshades. The aim of this study is to derive and set standard horizontal shade devices in cardinal directions and inter-cardinal directions, which can provide shade for the window without allowing any direct sunlight to enter the building in selected site region. The limitation considered is the azimuth angle, which is to be a minimum and maximum angle for any month in every particular cardinal and inter-cardinal direction, and the altitude angle is considered minimum angle in the duration of 9:00 to 16:00 hours from the year 2016. This horizontal shading device would guide a metropolitan city to implement efficient shading device.

3D Model as Design Pedagogy in Architectural Studio: A Case Study of Public Building
August, 2015
This article aims at understanding the intrusion of 3 dimensional models as design pedagogy in architecture studio. Design was highly constituted as a part of 2 dimensional models and later conventional 3 dimensional models were made to present their design. The contemporary trend is considering conventional handmade models and digital models for not only to design and expressing but also to understand the urban and environment factors of the site. Attributes like Urban and Site Context, Topography, Drainage, Vegetation, Visual Connectivity and Environment study of surrounding water bodies were considered. This survey was conducted to find the flexibility of the students in understanding, designing and expressing their designs by means of 3 dimensional models. This survey was further directed showing the balance between the conventional and the digital method. The main barrier in this survey was the students were of 6th Semester and the survey was conducted only for one problem in their design studio. This paper was producing the reliability of students and different design approaches in architectural studio in expressing the design using 3 dimensional models.

Identification and Delineation of Lineament Zones in VGTM Region
March, 2015
This article aims to identification and delineation the lineament in Vijayawada Guntur Tenali Mangalagiri (VGTM) Region. The total area of VGTM Region is 20130.50 sq.kms. It is assessed based on the data retrieved from Satellite Imagery, Survey of India and conventional methods. This area is under Seismic Zone-III and 26 minor lineament are been Identified by the Earthquake Engineering Research Centre (EERC), International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Hyderabad, India. This process involves the overlapping of different material and analysis where the lineaments exist which further leads to the demarcation of the area. This study is conducted by using gravity data, remotely sensed imagery and recent field studies. These lineaments are represented in the form of tree diagram, with linear or circular form of disturbance generated in the tectonic fractures in the earth bedrock.
Furthermore, the use of these studies could be combined to focus on the lineament based on Vijayawada Guntur Tenali Mangalagiri (VGTM) region which could represent the geologically fractured area and eminently provides us with ground water potential. These studies could result in developing new dimension to understand and study the topography, drainage and vegetation patterns of earth geology for means of preserving the parcel of land and its natural resources in the form of different wetlands and ecological sensitive areas. The main barrier in the study is identifying the morphological pattern and vegetation which can be observed through satellite imageries and can be enhanced by using remote sensing spatial data. These findings can be used as a guidance for the understanding the potential of ground water availability, vegetation pattern, soil distribution along with many other environmental factors including thermal comfort zones, Heat Island Effect and ecologically sensitive areas.
