The relation between human body and architecture has a long history. Architecture lies within the nest moreover as in an exceedingly skyscraper. Human body and architecture are engaged in a dance where each adapts to other and architect have to find a balance between both. A human spent 90-95% of his life indoors or surrounded by forms. An individual relaxes at home not simply because of family but another excuse is, he feels safe, secure and happy there. An architect can kill a human with the architecture of the apartment just as well as with gun. It's not only about positive/negative space but this is regarding experience. The dark experience of any space-Black Architecture, comes out from architectural psychology which is an academic field to explore the impacts of architecture on humans, their feelings and behaviour. This paper will cover aspects of black architecture and the way user experiences it.

Antyodaya defines the upliftment of the last person, the weakest part of society. The best theory of inclusion with limited understanding is the concept of antyodaya, priority is given to 'the last man standing in the queue' in terms of resources, facilities, opportunities, or value within the society, or, in this case, a group of people within the city who are less fortunate. This article explores why inclusive design is necessary and needs to be included in re-thinking design with the discussion on limitations and challenges in the inclusive spatial design process. This article draws an overall picture of urban areas in India and how we can re-think for the antyodaya
group via inclusion. Findings provide some critical conclusions for the enhancement of design thinking and provide equal socio-economic opportunities for everyone.

Digital India is a programme to prepare India for a knowledge future. The focus of digital India is on making technology central to enabling change. This is Umbrella programme which is covering many departments. Digital India weaves together a large number of ideas and thoughts into a single comprehensive vision so that each of them is seen as part of larger goal. Each individual element like transportation stands on its own. But is also part of the larger picture. Transportation in the republic of India is an important part of the nation's economy. Today in the country we have a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air. The nation has just 13 million cars on its roads which is just 1% of its population. In addition, only 10% of the Indian households own a motorcycle. Now we can see that in India, Public transport still remains the primary mode of transport. Until we are facing many problems in transportation-like rapid urbanization and growing transport demand, Inadequate public transport and rapid motorization, mix of slow and fast vehicles without segregation, increasing level of congestion and pollution, transport energy demand and carbon emissions rising, etc. Now-a-days we are also facing a lot of threats to national securities. Now we have reason that why we need smart solution in enhancing transportation. With the help of Digital India Technologies we can solve many problems. We can do better utilization of the backward areas linking with the advanced areas. In this study, we will cover only how Digital India solve the problems of enhancing transportation and how we make smart and safer roads for Accident free India. This is analytical research of transportation with digital India concept.

Architectural Design or architectural field and human psychology are sharing a vital relationship but it has been ignored all the time and unnoticed by the design industry. Interrelation of design and psychology is not just significant but also reciprocal. One side claims, effective design has been shown psychologically impacted and physiological effects; the other side, psychology, human experience, and the work of our neural systems all play a role in our perceptions of Successful design. This paper aims to explain how the dynamic relationship came to be and how it should function in today's era and how black architecture theory has an essential significance during the design process. It accomplishes this by first looking at the working of the human brain and how the nervous system organized with it, how our forefathers adopted this structure and function. It reviewed literature that how modern culture affects that function. The positive impacts and harmful effects with the similarities and interrelationships in-between nature, psychology, and our nervous system are examined with that context. The modern-day issue of human stress induced by poorly built buildings and spaces will be illustrated, design recommendations with the help of psychological study followed by a discussion on black architecture theory and architecture buildings.

Real-estate sector is one of the most globally recognized sectors. In India, real-estate is the second largest employer after agriculture and will grow 30% over the next decade. Real-estate growth directly impacts the growth of urban and semi urban areas. The housing sector alone contributes about 5-6% of India's Gross domestic Product (GDP). Real-estate is also responsible for the development of 250 other ancillary industries like cement, steel, paints, etc. It brings all kinds of investments to the country. Real-estate makes the city functional and livable and always plays it part in driving economy.

In the RCC construction, water-cement ratio is detrimental for concrete. We always try to restrict the water-cement ratio because we want structure achieve its higher strength rather it is necessary for structure life. For the chemical reaction which is generated in cement and water, water-cement ratio of less than 0.38, whereas the adopted water-cement ratio is much more than that mainly because of the requirement of workability. After the requirement of workability is over, this excess water will eventually evaporate leaving capillary pores in the concrete. In the concrete, the result of these pores is higher permeability and less strength. Therefore, workability and high strength do not go together as their requirements are contradictory to each other. Vacuum dewatering is the effective technique used to overcome this contradiction of opposite requirements of workability and high strength. With this technique both these are possible at the same time.

Terrace Garden and Photovoltaic rooftop systems are both considered as sustainable solutions for buildings as both are energy efficient & helps in reducing carbon emissions. These two systems are pretty different in framework and application and this is difficult to say which one is better as both are appropriate. Putting both at the same time will be beneficial to maximize the output of power of PV system through evaporate cooling and roof vegetation. There are many challenges to adopt both the technologies in combination because of the lack of experimental studies. This study is a formal review of the published studies (experimental and simulation) on the advantages of green roof and Photovoltaic system. This review is a detailed review on the benefits of PV vegetated roof and how this solution will help to improve energy output of PVgreen roofs and CO2 emission reduction with long term benefits of PV-GR. The investigation of this paper will be an overview of the utility of bio solar terrace for the buildings during the operational phase and how worth it will be for the environment.
