Abstract:
AbstractGardens have always meant a lot to people. Gardens are as much about nature as they are about culture. The extent to which gardens carry and embody both similar and different layers of meaning will be demonstrated by comparing two classical gardens, the Taj Mahal tomb garden of the Mughal rulers in Agra, India, and the Ryoan-ji dry landscape garden of the Zen monks in Kyoto, Japan. Parallels will be drawn by offering a (diachronic) analysis of the historical accumulation of layers of meaning associated with each one of these two gardens, and (synchronic) structural comparisons will be drawn by raising two thematic issues in particular, the inside-outside relationship and the nature-culture relationship. The roles that Islam and Zen Buddhism play in the religious meaning making of these two classical gardens turn out to be strikingly similar, in that they confirm rather than transform other layers of cultural meaning.

Abstract:
Recent guidebooks for the Westerner traveling to Northern India generally refer the prospective visitor to a common range of cities around Delhi – Agra, Jaipur, and Udaipur; within these, the Taj Mahal, Jaipur's Pink City and nearby Amber Fort, and Udaipur's glamorous lake palaces usually merit must-see status. Until its refurbishment a few years ago, the Albert Hall Museum, an elaborate structure with old-fashioned interiors and a location a kilometer south of Jaipur's city center, ranked as a second- or even third-tier tourist attraction; travel guides from recent years mention it with indifference, describing its collections as “dusty” and “fine, if carelessly exhibited” (Bindloss and Singh 170), or even suggesting that “a slow circular turn around the building in a car will suffice” (Frommers 520). Yet a century ago the Museum proudly occupied a primary place in British travel guides to India. It opened with ceremony and fanfare in 1887, and by 1898 almost three million Indian and over ten thousand European visitors had passed through its doors (Hendley, Report 9). A striking example of colonial architecture, constructed of white stone with numerous courtyards, covered walkways, and ornamented domes (Figure 1), it was regarded as perhaps the most noteworthy edifice within a noteworthy Indian city. Thomas Holbein Hendley, resident Surgeon-Major in Jaipur, chief curator for the 1883 Jaipur Exhibition, and the Albert Hall Museum's Secretary and tireless champion, recommended that travelers in Jaipur for a single day make two visits, both morning and evening, to the site, and that those with an additional day to spend in the city schedule a third visit. Murray's Handbook for Travellers in India, Burma and Ceylon concurred, describing it as “a beautiful museum – an Oriental South Kensington, suitably housed” (174), and just after the turn of the century, English journalist Sidney Low recalled that it was “the best museum, with one exception, in all India, a museum which, in the careful selection and the judicious arrangement of its contents, is a model of what such an institution ought to be” (114).

Abstract:
A 2D mechanical metamaterial exhibiting perfectly auxetic behavior, i.e., Poisson’s ratio of −1, is proposed in this paper drawing upon inspiration from an Islamic star formed by circumferential arrangement of eight squares, such as the one found at the exterior of the Ghiyathiyya Madrasa in Khargird, Iran (built 1438–1444 AD). Each unit of the metamaterial consists of eight pairs of pin-jointed Y-shaped rigid elements, whereby every pair of Y-elements is elastically restrained by a spiral spring. Upon intermediate stretching, each metamaterial unit resembles the north dome of Jameh Mosque, Iran (built 1087–1088 AD), until the attainment of the fully opened configuration, which resembles a structure in Agra, India, near the Taj Mahal. Both infinitesimal and finite deformation models of the effective Young’s modulus for the metamaterial structure were established using strain energy approach in terms of the spiral spring stiffness and geometrical parameters, with assumptions to preserve the eight-fold symmetricity of every metamaterial unit. Results indicate that the prescription of strain raises the effective Young’s modulus in an exponential manner until full extension is attained. This metamaterial is useful for applications where the overall shape of the structure must be conserved in spite of uniaxial application of load, and where deformation is permitted under limited range, which is quickly arrested as the deformation progresses.

Abstract:
Civil Engineering Industry is one of the oldest industries which provide a basic infrastructure to all the human beings. Structures can be any kind it can be Historical, Heritage Structure, Residential building, Commercial building or an Industrial building. Every structure has its own service life, and within this service life it should stand firmly on its position. Ex- A Taj Mahal in Agra in India which is one of the oldest structures and a Wonders of the World, and still stand on its position very efficiently. But this not a condition about the today’s Structures. A collapsed mechanism has increased and today’s Structures are getting collapsed before there service life is completed. Therefore, it is advisable to monitor it periodically by taking a professional opinion. Structural Audit is a preliminary technical survey of a building to assess its general health as a civil engineering structure. It is usually initiated as the first step for repair. In this Project a Root Cause of a faulty mechanism of structure and a preventive measure to overcome a failure of this structures. The construction material mainly reinforced concrete is being used extensively for various types of construction projects. However, the deterioration of Reinforced Concrete structures is recognized as a major problem worldwide. Apart from requiring regular maintenance, many structures require extensive Repair, Rehabilitation & Retrofitting. Over a period of time, as these structures become older, we find in them certain degradation or deterioration with resultant distress manifested in the form of cracking, splitting, delaminating, corrosion etc. Such deteriorated structures can be rehabilitated and retrofitted by using various types of admixtures & modern repair materials. The paper brings out the present state of concrete structures & the major areas where improvement is needed during its service life stage for sustainable development & also the method of carrying out Repair, Rehabilitation &Retrofitting. This has been brought in details in the paper along with Case studies, where the Author of the paper was directly involved in planning and execution of the job.

Abstract:
Arsitektur dalam rangkaian sejarah acapkali dipergunakan sebagai instrumen untuk memperoleh legitimasi kekuatan, kekuasaan serta kejayaan. Diantara tokoh yang mengedepankan hubungan antara arsitektur dan negara yang merupakan ahli sejarah dari Maghrib yaitu Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406), ia menyatakan bahwa kota termasuk segenap bangunannya mencerminkan dinasti yang membangunnya.Perkembangan seni arsitektur islam pada awalnya hanya menyentuh tiga bidang, yaitu : bidang bangunan sipil (Imarah Madaniyah), bangunan agama (Imarah Diniyah), dan bangunan militer (Imarah Harbiyah). Perkembangan seni arsitekstur dinasti Safawi ditandai dengan pembangunan pusara Harun-I Vilayat, pembangunan kota Isfahan, Chehel Sotoun, penginapan Caravanserai, sekolah Charbagh. Pada masa dinasti Mughol, karya bidang arsitektur bangunan dapat dilihat dari Benteng Merah Agra, Taj Mahal, Makam Humayun, Buland Darwaza, Panch Mahal, Istana Jahangir (Jahangir Mahal), Istana Fatehpur Sikri, Makam Akbar, Jama Masjid dan Rambagh.

Abstract:
The science on the anthropogenic airborne aerosols impacting the World Heritage marble monument, the Taj Mahal, at Agra, has been studied in the light of modern physico-chemical approaches. The study is an effort to understand unrecognized airborne species which were found on the surface of the Taj Mahal monument. These species have been analyzed in the light of current analytical methods to impart characterization features and their possible impacts on the surface of the marble. Chemical constituents of these substrates, which were incorporated over the top surface of the monument, have been identified. Interestingly, the carbon particulates which were found on the micro level, popularly called “particulate matters”, have now been identified in the nano domain entity, which is chemically more reactive, and have been found on the surface of the monument. Because of their high chemical activity, these nano carbons have a newer chemistry in the presence of air and sunlight, generating several reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS are capable of responding to complicated chemical reactions on the surface of the marble in association with deposited cyanophyceae and other deposits of plant origin, causing rapid degradation. This study provides the nature of the onslaught of such monuments exposed under the prevalent smoggy environmental scenario.

Abstract:
The train coasts into Agra, full of tourists coming to visit the newly scrubbed, sparkling white Taj Mahal. Through the window I see dozens of men squatting on the bare, flat ground between the railway tracks and a string of low buildings. Their backs are partially turned to the train tracks. Some squat alone; others hunch near each other in companionable duos. They gaze meditatively into the distance as they relieve themselves on the garbage-strewn ground. I see this lineup for at least a mile as we glide toward the train station in the early morning. Some of the men carry little aluminum pots or plastic bottles as they approach the waste ground. The vessels sit on the ground next to men who are still engaged in their morning ritual. The water is for washing, for this is a land of washers, not wipers. I can’t tell whether or not the train has surprised the men today by its punctuality. No one looks uncomfortable. No one is hurrying. Privacy seems irrelevant to them. And in any case the men’s long white cotton tunics cover most of their bodies. There are no women. Perhaps they came earlier, when it was darker, before there was a chance that the frequently delayed train would catch them. I had not planned for a whole chapter in this book, let alone one right here at the beginning, to be about toilets and bodily functions. But there’s really no avoiding it. Rivers pour clear and clean out of the mountains, then become sewers in the Gangetic plain. One of the biggest problems in South Asia is, simply, what to do with the shit of more than a billion people. Few of them have toilets as Westerners understand the word. Many have nothing at all—no outhouse, no pit latrine. Globally, 1.2 billion people are still defecating in the open, approximately six hundred million of them in India. By 2010 more than half of India’s billion people had access to a cell phone while only a third had some form of toilet to use.

Abstract This chapter describes air pollution control in India. It covers issues that impair the quality of the air we breathe — dust, vehicular emissions, industrial pollution, and fireworks during the Diwali festival. The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1981 was enacted by invoking the Central Government’s power under Article 253 to make laws implementing decisions taken at international conferences. Although a central statute, executive functions under the Air Act are carried out in the states by state pollution control boards. Procedurally, the Air Act follows the basic structure of the Water Act — with a Central board and state boards administering a system of consent orders, monitoring activities, and enforcement through fines and criminal prosecutions. The chapter then looks at Air Act cases, the preservation of the Taj Mahal, and noise pollution.

Abstract:
In the dusty northwestern state of Rajasthan, Phoolwati was visiting a neighboring village on business. She was addressing a small circle of women dressed in sarees. Together, they formed a kaleidoscope of reds, yellows, and pinks. The colors parted obediently when an older woman, in white, pushed her way through the huddle. “What’s going on here?” bellowed the wizened old lady, speaking the rustic Hindi of the region. She pointed at the wiry newcomer, the hub of the commotion. “Who’s this?” All eyes turned to Phoolwati. “I’m here to teach the village women about the internet,” she said, as she thrust her hand out, revealing a phone with a large screen of images and text. She encountered a blank stare. “In-ter-nate,” tried Phoolwati once again, spelling it out phonetically in Hindi. “It’s a wonderful thing. You can get all kinds of information and knowledge on it.” The old lady snorted in disdain. “We’re all illiterate here, child,” she said. “Why are you wasting our time?” This was a familiar refrain to Phoolwati’s internet evangelism. She was prepared. “Who says you need to read and write to use the internet? Who says you need to know English?” demanded Phoolwati. “This is a magic device. See?” She held up her smartphone and pressed a button. The image of a microphone popped up on the screen. (This might have been more effective had the village women seen a microphone before.) “Go on. Ask it something,” Phoolwati told them. “Kuchh bhi. Anything. This has all the answers! You must be curious about something, na?” The old lady looked on incredulously. She slapped the top of her forehead in an exaggerated show of despair. Another woman had seen a city cousin toying with a smartphone once. She felt emboldened in the presence of Phoolwati’s gadget. “Show us the Taj Mahal!” she exclaimed loudly in Hindi. To instantly summon an image of the country’s most famous monument—one that none of them had ever seen—seemed an insurmountable challenge. But Google understood. The phone came alive; a video appeared on the screen. Phoolwati pressed Play.
