About Indian Green Building Council (IGBC)

The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), part of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) was formed in the year 2001. The vision of the
council is, "To enable a sustainable built environment for all and facilitate India to be one of the global leaders in the sustainable built
environment by 2025".

With a modest beginning of 20,000 sq.ft. green built-up area in the country in the year 2003, today (as on 30 April 2017) more than 4,077
Green Buildings projects coming up with a footprint of over 4.53 Billion sq.ft are registered with the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), out
of which 1009 Green Building projects are certified and fully functional in India. This growth has been possible with the participation of all
stakeholders in the green building movement. Today all types of buildings are going the Green way- Government, IT Parks, Offices,
Residential, Banks, Railways, Airports, Convention Centers, Institutions, Hospitals, Hotels, Factories, SEZs, Townships, Schools, Metros etc.,

The council offers a wide array of services which include developing new green building rating programmes, certification services and green
building training programmes. The council also organises Green Building Congress, its annual flagship event on green buildings.

The council is committee-based, member-driven and consensus-focused. All the stakeholders of construction industry comprising of
architects, developers, product manufacturers, corporate, Government, academia and nodal agencies participate in the council activities
through local chapters. The council also closely works with several State Governments, Central Government, World Green Building Council,
bilateral multi-lateral agencies in promoting green building concepts in the country.

INTRODUCTION

Quarry Sites: In archaeological terms, a quarry or mine site is where raw material--stone or metal ore--was mined for use as building material
or tool construction. (By K. Kris Hirst, Archaeology Expert).

In today’s times, land is an expensive and precious commodity. Once depleted of their desired resources, quarries are often abandoned, and
they are treated as use and throw entities, wherein there is no responsible and sensitive plan of action in place. This year’s IGBC- Green design
competition’s theme is to understand how best to treat these parcels of land and steps to be taken before, during and after mining to ensure
safeguarding of this precious resource called land.

THEME

This year’s IGBC Green design competition is a 2 part problem:

PART 1: The first part of the design problem is to understand and study what is the process currently used while mining. Once the steps are
understood, you may look at honing the process and maximise the efficiency to ensure the best use of resources- in this case the ore that is
being mined as well as the land where the mining is done

What are the best steps you can take before and during mining to minimise depletion of land?

PART 2: Nature adaptive inclusivity in design- An alternate to the unused holes in the ground.’ This is the after use proposals of Quarry Sites-
“MEND THE MINED”. Sustainable redevelopment, adaptive reuses are some of the approaches that have been used across the globe in case
of Quarries. Some international case studies for the same are listed below:

Quarry Garden
Renovated from abandoned quarry yard, Quarry Garden has become one new landmark and name card of Shanghai. Its capabilities are fully
displayed based on ecological restoration and culture reconstruction strategies. One dangerous inaccessible abandoned land has been
built into an attractive tourist resort for visitors approaching natural landscape and experiencing the culture of quarrying industry.

The Eden Project

The Eden Project is a popular visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many
diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km from the town of St Blazey.

Allmannajuvet Zinc Mine Museum

Allmannajuvet, with its unique landscape and rich cultural history, is one of the ten largest attractions along the National Tourist Routes. In
2002, world- renowned architect Peter Zumthor was commissioned by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration to design a tourist route
attraction for the purpose of welcoming visitors and bringing the old mining history of Sauda back to life. The simple buildings are inspired
by the mining operation, the drudgery and the workers’ active daily life. The installation consists of a museum building, a café building,
toilet and parking facilities, paths andstairs.

Concept
SITE

You may pick a quarry site that is accessible to you. This will help you understand the site and its conditions better. A good understanding of
the social, economic and environmental surroundings is key to a good design.

Maximum site area for design intervention: 20,000 sq.m

Total Built up area: 2,500 sq.m to 5,000 sq.m

Please note, that while we encourage you to pick sites that are accessible to you, for those of you who are having difficulty picking a site, a
readymade site plan has been provided on the Ethos website.

AREA PROGRAM

Considering the natural resources available on site, a sustainable and feasible approach needs to be adopted.

The proposals may be for any recreational, institutional or public use spaces or buildings.

The proposal should complement the site, and also benefit the local communities in the area.

OUTPUT

- Part 1: A plan of action to be devised for responsible and sensitive before and during mining practices.
- Part 2: MEND THE MINED: Pick an existing quarry site for design intervention
- While quarry sites maybe huge, you are to pick an area of 20,000 sq.m within the site.
- Depending on the site and its context develop an area program. (recreational, institutional or public use spaces or buildings)
- Design
