Sustaining Artisan Livelihoods through Community Cooperative Housing: A Socio-Spatial Study of the Kumbhar Community in Pune, India
Abstract: This research addresses the problem in contemporary community housing. Housing is delivered as a physical product, while the social, economic, and cultural systems that sustain community life are largely ignored. In the resettlement of the Kumbhar (potter) Community in Pune, equal land was allotted without cohesive architectural planning, which has led to fragmented spatial organisation, underutilised work areas, conflicts over resources, unclear boundaries, and a decline in economic efficiency due …

Effect of Bacillus Subtilis on Corrosion of Steel in Reinforced Cement Concrete
Abstract: Abstract Concrete is one of the most used building materials due to its cost- effectiveness, ease of availability, and versatility. It is the backbone of modern construction, being widely applied in infrastructure, residential, and commercial projects. However, it is particularly vulnerable to crack formation, which significantly reduces its service life. These cracks compromise structural integrity by allowing water ingress, which leads to the corrosion of reinforcing steel, eventually making the …
