 This project centers on the design and construction of a biogas plant within a densely populated community in Ahmedabad, integrating architectural aspects that reflect local traditions and aesthetics. Utilizing bamboo and jute tie systems for its structure, the plant not only aligns with existing architectural practices but also promotes sustainable design. The inclusion of pile foundations and tie beams ensures a robust and durable framework, offering structural integrity and safety. The contingency element plays a crucial role in this project. By introducing the biogas plant, we aim to reduce environmental risks and the threat of instability, fostering a sense of security within the community. This approach not only generates clean energy and reduces waste but also creates a space for social gatherings and communal activities, addressing the scarcity of open spaces. The project aims to enhance community identity and resilience by involving residents, particularly women, in the plant's operation and maintenance. This collaborative effort not only boosts economic opportunities but also encourages a sense of ownership and pride. Ultimately, the biogas plant stands as a symbol of empowerment, providing a sustainable energy source while strengthening the community's architectural and cultural ties.
