INTRODUCTION:
Let's talk about EARTH!
We are living on a globe that gives us food, water, oxygen, land, and all other necessary resources required for habitation. And what if those resources get finished ?, What will we do after that? should we find another planet ? and how these resources are getting low? there are many questions like that so let’s discuss the problems and possible solutions for them.
There are many problems the earth is facing today like - Soil degradation, Global warming, etc. But the most important problem is overpopulation Because it’s the root of most of the problems We are facing today.
OVERPOPULATION _ The Human Explosion:
An undesirable condition where the number of the existing human population exceeds the carrying capacity of the earth. Carrying capacity is a little complicated term. But in simple language, carrying capacity means the number of individuals and ecosystem resources like Food, Water, and space can sustain indefinitely. If we see the amount of food production and all other resources provided by the earth, Then 4 billion is a carrying capacity of Earth ( 4 billion population) But today we are 7.67 billion (2019). What year it is? It's 2021 and our population is already twice the carrying capacity of the Earth.
Our population is double the carrying capacity of the earth but we don’t face any problem of resources. Because of today's technologies like advanced farming (aquaponics/aeroponics, advanced machinery), and other technological resources we are able to produce resources to sustain the population. The condition of the world is better because of today’s advanced technologies.
AIM :
To create a self-sufficient, off-grid community, an Idealistic module, and static township which tackles Listed future problems due to the ever-growing population.
Objects :
Community: Creating an incremental module for residential units to tackle the future population growth. Creating an idealistic self-sustainable communal neighborhood that can serve all needs of people.
Sustainability: Making the user group understand the benefits and advantages of sustainability. Implementing proven technologies to create a sustainable way of living.
SYMBOLIC AND PHILOSOPHICAL: Making the people think about the self-reliant lifestyle and adapting it for a better future.Making user aware and increase awareness amongst common people regarding essence, importance and long-term benefits of living in self-reliant neighborhood.
Who Will live in this self-reliant community? (For 1st prototype -)
This idealistic module is inspired by the concept of eco-villages and regenerative villages. As cities are growing vastly these days and creating many problems. There will be a solution of an idealistic module that is proposed as an alternative to these cities. Unplanned growth of these cities can be stopped and this type of prototype can be added to the outskirts.
Who is going to adapt this 1st prototype?
But for 1st module, we are considering a particular community. This is an idealistic module, anyone can adapt to these self-reliant communities.
COMPANY EMPLOYEES, This user group belongs to the same profession. They work in the same culture. They share common thoughts, Common interests. They can grow as a community.
All construction is sone in steel and prefabricated modules, other technical details are provided in sheets.
