LOCATION OF LAVASA:

CONCEPT: BIOMIMICRY:A building foundation system to store water was designed as the native trees of the area once did. And for the future citys rooftops, the team borrowed from the unusual morphology of the native banyan fig leaf: its so-called drip-tip, a pointed spear at the leafs end that doubles water run-off and cleans its own surface in the process. Using the leaf as a model a tiled shingle system was developed that will shed water in the same way. During the rainy season, however, there is the problem of where to send overflows; for this, local harvester ants were looked upon as inspiration, the ants divert water away from their nests with multipath, low-grade channels. The sites master plan will adopted this insect strategy to channel water through the city.

CONCEPT: NEW URBANISM:The master plan incorporates the principles of New Urbanism that brings together all the components essential to daily life in a more organized manner.It is broadly based on a town planning principle known as the transect model, where the development follows a natural pattern of high density core surrounded by successive layers of descending densities and transcending character from urban to rural.

SUSTAINABILITY:

The principle for sustainable growth at Lavasa adopts a two-pronged strategy; protecting the existing natural habitat as it is and further enhancing the habitat through hydro-seeding, geomatting, mass plantations and beautification of ravines.A landscape master plan has been developed to rejuvenate deforested areas and drive future landscape performance. Reforestation, bioswales, rainwater harvesting and environmentally sensitive construction practices are all part of the plan.

70% - Amount of previously deforested land that will be restored through detailed landscaping, reforestation and slope greening

30% - Reduction in carbon emissions

65% - Reduction in potable water consumption

95% - Reduction of waste sent to landfill
