Vastu for kitchen is important since kitchen represents the “Fire” element. I am sure you already know that fire, in controlled environment, is beneficial, but if the same – yes very same – fire goes out of hand then it obliterates everything and anything in its way. The above statement holds true for both types of fire – the actual fire and symbolic fire. Getting confused? Just read on and everything will make sense to you in a moment. As actual fire transforms uncooked or raw food into edible one, in the same manner, symbolic fire provides heat to your physical body and desires to your spiritual self for everything in life. Imagine, what would  happen if symbolic fire within you died? You start to lose hope in life; all the “burning desires” come to end; your body becomes cold. On the other hand, what would happen if the same fire – symbolic one – goes out of control? You start to suffer medically, the “burning desires” will make you mentally sick and you start to lose your posit

Earthquakes are one of the most destructive forces of nature. Structures and infrastructures suffer the most when an earthquake strike a seismically active region in the world. Seismic loadings must, therefore, be taken into account when designing structures especially those that are considered as skyscrapers. Let’s roam around the world together and discover the top 5 earthquake proof structures and learn how buildings can be designed to resist extreme seismic loadings. How do earthquakes happen? As an engineer, it’s important to initially understand what the problem is to make the solving part easy. So, what exactly is an earthquake and how do they happen? Everyone knows about the existence of tectonic plates and how they influence the movement of the Earth’s crust. Earthquakes happen when these tectonic plates collide with each other and produce large magnitudes of energy measured using the Richter scale. The movement of these tectonic plates can be attributed to one simp

Living root bridges   are a form of  tree shaping  common in the southern part of the  Northeast Indian  state of  Meghalaya . They are handmade from the  aerial roots  of Rubber Trees (  Ficus elastica ) by the  Khasi  and  Jaintia  peoples of the mountainous terrain along the southern part of the  Shillong Plateau . The pliable tree roots are made to grow through betel tree trunks which have been placed across rivers and streams until the figs' roots attach themselves to the other side. Sticks, stones, and other objects are used to stabilize the growing bridge This process can take up to 15 years to complete. The useful lifespan of any given living root bridge is variable, but it is thought that, under ideal conditions, they can in principle last for many hundreds of years. As long as the tree they are formed from remains healthy, they naturally self-renew and self-strengthen as their component roots grow thicker.               For more info:  Click H

After 8 years of R & D, Western scientists have proved that at Lord Nataraja 's big toe is the Centre Point of World 's Magnetic Equator. Our ancient Tamil Scholar Thirumoolar has proved this Five thousand years ago! His treatiseThirumandiram is a wonderful Scientific guide for the whole world.

An artist's impression of how the proposed asteroid-suspended Analemma Tower would look. (Photos courtesy: www.cloudsao.com) The building would be suspended from an asteroid orbiting 50,000kms from the earth A New York-based firm is proposing that Dubai is the site of a futuristic, asteroid-suspended skyscraper that orbits around the world. The speculative Analemma Tower - which is being proposed by the Clouds Architecture Office - is designed to be suspended downward on an asteroid orbiting 50,000km from earth. It would orbit in a figure-eight pattern across the northern and southern hemispheres in a 24-hour cycle each day. A design close-up of the asteroid from which the proposed skyscraper would be suspended using high-strength cables On its website, the firm notes that "Analemma inverts the traditional diagram of an earth-based foundation, instead of depending on a s

 First, calculate the volume of the wall to be built. Let us assume, The length of the wall (l) = 10 foot. The height of the wall (h) = 10 foot. The thickness of the wall (b) = 1 foot. Calculate the volume of the wall by multiplying the length, height, and thickness. ∴Volume of the wall = l×h×b = 10×10×1 =100 Cu.F  Calculate the volume of the brick: The standard size of a brick (IS Standard) is 190 mm×90 mm×90 mm and with the mortar joint, it becomes 200mm×100 mm×100 mm. l = 200 mm= 0.656168 ft. b = 100 mm =0.328084 ft. h = 100 mm = 0.328084 ft. ∴Volume of the brick = l×b×h =  0.656168×0.328084×0.328084 = 0.0706 Cu.F To find out the total nos of brick divide the volume of the wall by the volume of the brick. ∴No. of bricks required = 100/0.0706 = 1416 no. of bricks. Note:1. Consider 10% wastages of bricks. 2. If the wall has any openings, subtract the volume of the openings from the volume of the wall and then divide it by the volume of bric

Dubai will be home to the first rotating skyscraper, dubbed the “ Dynamic Tower ” which is expected to be completed in 2020. The 42-meter skyscraper will be made of a series of 80-story-high rotating condos each costing a whopping $30 million. The Architect David Fisher , an Israeli-Italian architect, is planning the first ever rotating skyscraper in Dubai. First proposed in 2008, the “Dynamic Tower” is the “first building designed in four dimensions”, said Fisher. “In other words, the first building that continues to change its shape”. Fisher describes the building as “designed by life, shaped by time.” Rotating Skyscraper Each skyscraper apartment will be able to rotate  360 degrees  independently, thus constantly shifting the shape of the building. The rotation will be so smooth that nothing will be felt or heard. Not only will residents be able to view the sunrise from their   futuristic home , but they will also be able to view the sunset, through the same window,

                INDUSTRIAL    CORRIDOR SUMMARY Five industrial corridor projects  across India  have  been  identified,  planned and launched by  the  Government of  India. These corridors are spread across India, with the strategic  focus on  inclusive  development  to  provide  an impetus to industrialization  and planned  urbanization. In each   of  these corridors, manufacturing will  be  a  key economic  driver  and   these   projects   are   seen   as   critical   in   raising   the   share   of   manufacturing   in   India's   Gross   Domestic   Product   (GDP)   from   the   current   levels   of   15%   to   25%  by   2025. Smart Industrial Cities are being developed   along the Corridors. These cities are being developed   to integrate the  new  workforce that will power manufacturing and   will lead   to   planned   urbanization. DELHI-MUMBAI INDUSTRIAL CORRIDOR (DMIC) The DMIC project was launched in order to  create new manufacturing h
