By Prutha Barot
Prof. Kakani kickstarts his presentation by introducing us to his four key methods to look at material pragmatism: reusing a building, reducing carbon footprint, recycling materials, harnessing technologies of skill. Reusing the building: seeing the building itself as material, and finding ways to use it for another function. Reducing carbon footprint: materials that use lesser energy in its making. Recycling materials: ways where we think about methods to reuse the waste material from old buildings for new construction practices. Harnessing technologies of skill: In looking at social equity and construction methods that are used in our country, we can use it to relook at materials, thinking of ways to use skilled labour embedded in our culture at the urban scale.
