ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

TOY AND GAME DESIGN

The toy and game design programme encompasses elements from industrial design,
animation and graphic design, human psychology and interaction, sociology and
management domains. The programme commences with courses in play theory,
cognitive ergonomics, color and composition, material/media technology, study of
forms, aesthetics, and design management, which provide the basic design foundation.
Specialized inputs are also given to develop skills in forms and movement, character
design, strategy building and multisensory design.

Inputs in user understanding, technology, systems thinking and scenario building are
provided as a part of projects. Students take on design projects related to toy and game
design. Training modules in industries, institutions and heritage sectors provide major
field level exposure.

Graduates of the programme are equipped to work with toy and game industries in areas
of mass manufactured toys, play equipment, table top games and digital games.

TRANSPORTATION AND AUTOMOBILE DESIGN

The course develops the student's aesthetics, form sensitivity, analytical abilities and
gives an understanding of concepts and concerns in transportation & automobile design.
Over the two-year period, students tackle projects ranging from non-motorized transport,
display/ controls, vehicle design, and system design.
The department has mous with design studios abroad as well as in India. There are guest
lecturers from design practitioners from the automobile industry in India.

LIFE STYLE ACCESSORY DESIGN

The lifestyle accessory design (lad) postgraduate programme educates and trains
professional designers to visualize and create lifestyle accessories and systems using
different materials, processes and technologies. It relates to people’s way of living and
the products they interact with, which form an important basis of their day- to-day lives.
focusing on personal and space accessories and products, it offers a strong multi-
disciplinary edge wherein the students get an opportunity to work in wide spectrum of
domains such as jewelers; watches; bags; luggage; footwear; lighting; furniture, space
accessories and interior objects; trend research; and colors, materials and trims for
white goods and automobile interiors. The students are encouraged to build emotive
connect and conceptual experiences for the consumers through the products they
create. The programme draws from indigenous contexts and their socio-cultural values,
beliefs, practices, cultural diversity, and knowledge which have contemporary
applications in a global context. It delves into perception and trend studies of diverse
dynamics that influence the lifestyles of consumers from various strata of society. the
designers from this programme aspire to drive the market by designing for changing
needs and designing for future needs, and make ‘designed in India’ a premier global
brand.

APPAREL DESIGN AND MERCHANDISING

The apparel design and merchandising programme is concerned with all those aspects
of design, technology and merchandising required to create, produce and market
clothing and fashions. The programme lays emphasis on ready-to-wear, work and
protective wear and costume design.

Students study design, production and management, as well as textile technology.

Practice is supported by historical and theoretical studies. The programme is structured
to take students through all aspects of apparel design like patternmaking, draping,
sewing, construction of fabrics, knitting, knitwear design, marketing, merchandising and
garment manufacturing technology. Students undertake fashion projects from the initial
design stage to the finished garment. they are given exposure to designing accessories
such as jewellery, bags, footwear, belts and headgear. Graduates can seek work in the
four broad areas of clothing: ready-to-wear, high fashion, costume design and functional
wear.

NEW MEDIA DESIGN

The new media design programme at nid examines the relationship between technology
and culture. Media, old and new, such as print, radio, television, internet, virtual reality,
gaming and mobile telephony, has an impact on our culture. Understanding these media
and the impact they may create is crucial to understanding how our societies are shaped.

students on the new media programme spend the first semester on design fundamentals,
which involves studying ‘mediums’, such as paper or print, photography, world wide
web, along with broader issues in design such as ergonomics, form and typography. The
semester ends with a design project investigating the application of new media in a
specific context - for example the role of both analogue and digital media in classroom
education in primary and secondary schools in India. The subsequent two semesters
focus on design projects investigating the role of various mediums in, for example,
education, healthcare, environment, craft and heritage preservation.

As new media designers who will deal with the design of digital artifacts, the students
are grounded in the fundamentals of interaction design. The fourth semester or diploma
is where an area of interest, usually in collaboration with industry, is chosen for
research.

The programme is a combination of art, science and technology. The programme seeks
students from diverse backgrounds ranging from fine and applied arts, architecture,
design, and science, engineering or technical backgrounds. A willingness to learn digital
skills such as electronics, software programming, and advanced 3d modeling is required.

STRATEGIC DESIGN MANAGEMENT

The programme enables students to develop design leadership and

entrepreneurial skills. The programme will help students to generate strategies
that enable the use of design for creating desired value, perception and
differentiation.

Functions such as innovation, new product development, packaging, retail

impact, competitive analysis, design measurement, sustainability and customer
delight issues are in the ambit of the design manager. It also involves design
research, scenario building and trend forecasting, creating a right design mix,
branding and design communication strategies. Students who complete the
programme successfully will be equipped to enter any industry or consultancy as
strategic designers, design entrepreneurs, or design managers.
TRANSPORT AND AUTOMOBILE DESIGN

PHOTOGRAPHY DESIGN
Photography design is about expressing a concept, documentation, and developing of a
designer's visual language through the medium of photography. Photography has a rich
past and a rapidly changing future with the increase in digital photography.

The photography design discipline at nid is a blend of art, design and technology. The
first year has numerous inputs on the basics of photography, while the second year is
largely self-directed, with projects, field research and workshops conducted by visiting
faculty from India and abroad. The discipline emphasizes on conceptualization,
experimentation and the development of one's own visual language. Nid has the latest
equipment including large, medium and small format cameras, state-of-the-art color and
black and white dark rooms, a fully fledged photography studio, slide scanners and
digital archival printers.

Students of photography design work in the news media, publication industry, and as
entrepreneurs and educators.

 DISSERTATION ON THESIS
INTRODUCTION:
• waste management is the set of activities that includes collection, transport,
treatment and disposal of waste.

• the term usually relates to all kind of waste whether generated during the
extraction of raw materials, the processing of raw material into intermediate and
final products, the consumption of final products or other human activities.

AIM:
• using the techniques of waste management as building material in building
construction.
 OBJECTIVIES:
• in India 1lakh 60 thousand metric tons of garbage is be produced everyday i.e.
16crore kilo of garbage every day.

• types of waste which we get from household are fruits and vegetable waste, waste
foods, crushed glasses, plastic, injections and syringe, old or waste medicines,
chemicals, rubber, batteries, etc.

• the municipalities throw these garbage to such lands which are landfill grounds
and dumping sites of the city.

• these dumping ground are sometimes insides the city itself, or somewhere near
by the city.

• the pile of garbage has risen to a height (80-100 feet) such that permission from
airport authority has to be taken for further dump over it.

• Leachate containment:- solid waste dumping generates highly contaminated

liquid called Leachate. Past practices in dumping site relied on the natural ability
of soil to filter and absorb the pollutants.

• The different types of waste dumped in these landfill site can be used as
construction material.

• There are different techniques for waste products to covert the to useable
construction material.

WASTE CAN BE

REDUCE
Decreasing the use of the waste or avoiding the material to be wasted.

REUSE
Using the waste products again so that the waste should not to wasted totally; its
partial amount can be used.

RECYCLE
Manufactured from used or waste materials that have been reprocessed.
 WASTE COMES IN MANY DIFFERENT FORMS:
• agricultural waste

• biodegradable waste

• biomedical waste

• bulky waste

• business waste

• chemical waste

• clinical waste

• commercial waste

• composite waste

• construction and demolition waste (c&d waste)

• consumable waste

• demolition waste

• domestic waste

• electronic waste (e-waste)

• food waste

• human waste

• green waste

• hazardous waste
• heat waste

• household waste

• industrial waste slag, fly ash, sludge

• inorganic waste

• kitchen waste

• medical waste

• nuclear waste (radioactive waste)

• organic waste

• packaging waste

• recyclable waste

• residual waste

• sewage

• toxic waste.

FLYASH
• as a fine residue from coal-fired thermal
power plants, fly ash is a serious health
hazard if released into the atmosphere.
These days, it is filtered out before the flue
gasses are released and then dumped in
“ponds”. but what’s to be done with all this
fly ash? for one thing, we can make good
use of it! molding them to bricks.

BAGASSE
• This is the waste from sugar cane once the sugar is extracted. it can be used to
make particle boards or other fiber-boards. Unlike wood-based products, it isn’t
affected by borers. one company, that i know of, which uses agricultural waste
products like cotton stalks or Bagasse is Ecoboard industries based in Pune.
 COCONUT PLYBOARD
This is a product that, i have to admit, i haven’t used. ! i’ve seen the
samples however and what’s so appealing about it – apart from the
fact that it’s made from waste coconut husk – is the wonderful dark
natural color.

CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS

this is not something that can be used on a regular basis or in large quantities but, when
one is doing a plinth backfill, it makes sense to use debris from some other construction.
every little bit helps. the tragedy of places like bombay is that this debris is being
systematically dumped by unscrupulous builders into our vanishing mangroves.

RUBBER WOOD
rubber wood is a by-product of rubber
plantations that are found over a large
part of southern india. left to itself, the
wood rapidly deteriorates and
discolours but, if treated properly, can
be used for a variety of purposes –
especially in furniture. it has a pale
golden yellow colour when given a natural polish. one drawback that needs to be
taken into account is the extent of its response to moisture. since the wood is kiln
dried, the moisture content is low when you receive the material but it can react
quite alarmingly during the monsoon.

PLASTIC
in 2010, plastic waste generated approximately 31

million tons, representing 12.4% of total municipal solid

waste. uses of recycled plastic in the construction industry

include plastic strips to add to soil embankments, which has positive results of
increasing the measured strength in

reinforcement of soils.

now a days the practice of plastic bottle walls are used in order to utilize the
plastic bottles.

plastic is being used in road construction too.

APPLICATION OF COCONUT SHELL AS COARSE

AGGREGATE IN CONCRETE:
oil palm shell (ops) is a waste from the agricultural sector and is available in large
quantities in the tropical regions. the high cost of conventional building materials
is a major factor affecting housing delivery in world. this has necessitated
research into alternative materials of construction. the project paper aims at
analysing compressive strength characteristics of concrete produced using
crushed, granular coconut as substitutes for conventional coarse aggregate with
partial replacement. the main objective is to encourage the use of these
‘seemingly’ waste products as construction materials in low-cost housing. it is
also expected to serve the purpose of encouraging housing developers in
investing these materials in house construction.

The high demand for concrete in the construction using normal weight aggregates
such as gravel and granite drastically increases the unnecessary weight of
concrete. Therefore ,there is aneed to explore and to find out suitable replacement
material to substitute the natural gravel stone strength.in developed countries ,the
construction industries have identified many artificial and natural lightweight
aggregate (LWA) that have replaced conventional aggregates thereby reducing
the size of structural members. This has brought immense change in the
development of high rise structures using LWC

CONTINENTAL UTILIZATION OF COCONAT SHELLS AS

L.W.A
:however ,in asia the contruction industry is yet to utilize the advantage of lwc in
the contruction of high rise structure .

:coconut shell (cs) are not commonly used in the construction industry but are
often dumped as agricultural waste.
: it was concluded that the CSs were more suitable as strength giving lightweight
aggregates when used to replace common coarse aggregates in concrete
production especially for M30 grade concrete

COCONUT SHELL AS AGGREGATE :coconut shell particles are used as

reinforcing material for investigation. shell particles of size between 20 mm – 600
μ are prepared in grinding machine. coconut shell aggregates are potential
candidates for the development of new composites because of their high strength
and modulus properties. an approximate value of coconut shell density is 1.60
g/cm3.

USE OF WASTE IN CONCRETE: a research effort has been done to match

society’s need for safe and economic disposal of waste materials. the use of
waste materials saves natural resources and dumping spaces, and helps to
maintain a clean environment. the current concrete construction practice is
thought unsustainable because, not only it is consuming enormous quantities of
stone, sand and drinking water, but also two billion tons a year of portland
cement, which releases green-house gases leading to global warming.
experiments has been conducted

for waste materials like- rubber tyre, e-waste, coconut shell, blast furnace slag,
waste plastic, demolished concrete constituents, waste water etc. construction
waste recycle plants are now installed in various countries but they are partly
solution to the waste problems.

from the experimental results and discussion, the coconut shell has potential as
lightweight aggregate in concrete. also, using the coconut shell as aggregate in
concrete can reduce the material cost in construction because of the low cost and
abundant agricultural waste. coconut shell concrete can be used in rural areas
and places where coconut is abundant and may also be used where the
conventional aggregates are costly. coconut shell concrete is also classified as
structural lightweight concrete. it is concluded that the coconut shells are more
suitable as low strength-giving lightweight aggregate when used to replace
common coarse aggregate in concrete production.
APPLICATION OF COCONUT SHELLS IN DIFFERENT CIVIL
ENGINEERING ASPECTS
: the versatility of coconut fibres and its application in different branches of
engineering particulary in civil engineering as a construction material.

: Not only the physical,chemical and mechanical properties of coconut fibres are
shoen ;but also properties of composites (cement pastes ,mortar are discussed
.coconut fibres reinforced composites have been used as cheap and durable non
structural elements.

: the aim of this seminar is to spreaf awareness of coconut fibres as a contruction

materials in civil engineering.
: coconut shell concrete can be classified under structural lightweight concrete .
COMPARISION FROM PRACTICAL STUDY TO THEORETICAL BY
CONDUCTING EXPERIMENTS
:properties of concrete using coconut shell as coarse aggregates were
investigated in an experimental study.

: flexural ,compressive ,splitting tensile strengths, impact resistance and bond

strenght were measured and compared with the theoretical valuesas
recommended by the standards .the bond properties were determined through
pullout test.

COLLECTION OF COCONUT SHELLS AND MAKINGS IT AN

AGGREGATE
: here coconut shellswhich were already broken into two pieces were collected
from local temple ; air dried for five days approximately at levels temperature of
25to 30 c removed fibre and husk on dried shells ,further broken the shells into
small chips manually ysing broken the shells into small chips manually using
hammer and sieved through 12mm skieve .the mayterials passed through 12mm
sieve was used to replace coarse aggregates with CS .the materials retained on
12mm sieve was discarded. Water absorption of the CS was8% and specific

: physical and mechanical properties of periwinkle shell and crushed granite were
determind and compared .

Extra water was added in the mixes depending on the CS replacement to

compensate water absorption of the CS particles.

PROCEDURE OF CONDUCTING CUBE TEST

All the ingredients of the mix were weighed and mixed in the concrete mixture
machine as per concrete mix design. the stell mould was used for casting the
beam specimens. before mixing the concrete, the moulds were kept ready by
placing it on a horizontal surface . the sides and bottom of all the moulbs were
property grease for easy demoulding .the cocrete was placed in the mould in
three layers and compaction was done for uniforme compaction and surface
finish throughout the beam .
COMPRESSION TEST RESULTS FOR 1:1: 2 AND 1:2:4 CONCRETE MIXES

:There was good relationship between the coconut shells and cement paste.

:Here density increased so compressive strength also increased.

SPLIT TENSILE STRENGTH

:split tensile strenght test was conducted in accordance with stm cylinders of 100
×200 mm size were used for this test , the tesr specimens were placed between
two plantes with two pieces of 3mm thick

:approximately 25mm wide plywood strips on the top and bottom of the
spicemens, the split tensile strength was conducted.

:on the same machine on which the compressive strength test was performed.
the specimens were tested for 1,7 and 28days.

RESULTS OF SPLIT TENSILE STRENGTH

: the cs concrete had higher strength enchance ment than control concrete at
7days of curing when compared to corresponding demoulded strenght.maximum
strength gain was for m20 strength nearly same strength gain was observed for
m20 concrete .

TEST SETUP OF FLEXURAL TWO ;POINT LOADING

: the experiments were conducted on a loading frame of capacity 400kn .the beam
were tested as a simply supported beam with A clear span of 2500mm and it is
subjrcted to two point loading . the loading setup consist of load cell. Hydraulic
jack and a hand pump to apply theload . theexperimental for the demec gauge
strain measurement was pasted on the com;pression and tesion side

EXPERIMENT PERFORMED IN 2009 OVER A DUMPING YARD OF

MUMBAI
in 2009 mumbai dump yard had an action over it. dr.s.r.muley made an experiment
over this land. they tried to bring garbage mountain of about 80-100 feet high to a
level an then applied some natural sanatizing liquid to the dumped waste;
because of which the organic waste or we can say the biodegradable waste
settled down and the non-biodegradable waste were left on the surface. the left
non- biodegradable waste was then taken to the recycling companies.

the organic waste and the soil left behind was the treated with an
bacterial spay to enrich the soil’s fertility; on examining the soil it was said that
the soils fertility was enriched 45%then.

the above mentioned process was performed within 60 days over 70

acres of land. but the indian government didn’t allowed the process to continue
over other landfill sectors; so the process was stopped their itself.

BUILDING MATERIAL MADE ENTIRELY FROM WASTE

PRODUCTS
• NEWSPAPER WOOD: this design comes from norway, where over 1m
tones of paper and cardboard are recycled every year. the wood is created by
rolling up paper and solvent-free glue to create something not dissimilar to a log,
then chopping it into usable planks. the wood can then be sealed so it's
waterproof and flame-retardant, and
used to build anything you would
normally build with wood.

NAPPY ROOFING: something

can be salvaged from all those
nappies and sanitary products we
throw away, even though they're,
well, really gross. special recycling plants separate out the polymers from their
organic waste, and these polymers can then be used to create
fiber based construction materials like the tiles in the image.

• RECY BLOCK: THESE colourful bricks are made from

old plastic bags, which are notoriously difficult to recycle in any
other way. recycled bags or plastic packaging are placed in a
heat mold, and forced together to form the blocks. they're too
lightweight to act as load-bearing walls, but can be used to
divide up rooms or outdoor areas.

BOTTLE BRICKS : this proposal is a little different, as it

relies on producing a consumer good specifically so it can later
be used as a building material. lots of companies now make
bottles in cuboid or other tesselative shapes, to make them
easier to transport.but the practice of doing so to create
construction materials actually started with beer company
heineken in the 1960s – alfred henry heineken, owner of the brewery, visited a
carribean island and was dismayed at
both lack of shelter, and the number of
discarded heineken bottles scattered
everywhere. so the company landed on a
new, brick-shaped design for the bottle,
shown in the images above. the
bottleneck slots into the base of the next
bottle, forming an interlocking line
 Hazardous Nature of Solid Waste:
the solid waste produces various hazardous effects on life as well as on environment.
some of the major effects are as follows:

1) disease spread

2) mosquito development

3) development of other vector species

4) strong odor spread in entire area

5) leachate formation

6) gas formation

7) infertility of soil

8) destruction of local ecosystem.

 Change in Characteristics of Soil:-

dumping of solid waste leads to change in following properties of soil:

1) odor
 2) water content

3) permeability

4) bearing capacity

5) porosity

6) degree of saturation

7) alkalinity

8) ph

the above mentioned changes are adverse by agricultural point of view. this
decreases the fertility of soil.

 Jamshedpur- roads made up of plastic

• using bitumen technology, scientists have
found a way to use waste plastic, including
biscuit packets, poly bags, etc. to construct
roads.

• bitumen, also commonly known as asphalt,

is a sticky, black and highly viscous liquid
or semi-solid form of petroleum. the primary
use of bitumen is in road construction
where it is used as the glue or binder mixed
with aggregate particles to create asphalt
concrete.

• as far as we know, jamshedpur is the only

city in eastern india where bitumen

thiagarajar college of engineering (tce), has
been implemented on accumulated waste
plastic for the first time.

metre wide road, one tonne of bitumen
costing rs 50,000 is saved.

• the use of bitumen has been reduced by 7

per cent ever since jusco began using waste
 plastic in road construction work, he said,
adding that the quality and longevity of
roads made of waste plastic-aggregate-
bitumen was two times better than bitumen

Turning plastic waste into functional roads, the story of two brothers
It is a sight many of us abhor. However, when it comes to tackling it, we would probably
take a backseat. The sight of plastic waste littered around is a common sight in most
urban residential areas.

But brothers Rasool and Ahmed Khan may well help change all that. The duo, who once
ran a bustling business of plastic, graduated to a more meaningful venture of using
discarded plastic for laying roads.
The brothers have laid a total stretch of 1400 km
plastic-bitumen road in Bengaluru

The oft used adage, in every adversity lies opportunity, would probably be an apt way to
describe their venture.

In 1996, when a ban was imposed on plastic bags in Karnataka, the question that the
brothers who made a living by selling them in Bengaluru asked themselves was, ‘what
next?’

Looking back, Rasool states, “Since we had 100 employees who were dependent on us,
we had to look for an alternative. That’s when the idea of recycling plastic and mixing it
with bitumen to lay roads struck us.”

However, for the thought to take shape took a while, from the time in 1997-98 when
Rasool began his experimentation filling potholes with plastic tar, aggregates and small
stones.

“In Jayanagar area, near the Raja Rajeshwari choultry, we engaged in pothole filling.
Soon, we filled 200 to 300 potholes. It was our own initiative and we went ahead and filled
them,” he recalls.

How Plastic Roads Are Made

The waste which is collected from various
sources like apartments, schools and by civic
workers, is put in a shredder. The shredded
bits are then stored in bags for about a week
to drain out the moisture from them. This is
then taken to a hot mixing plant located on the
outskirts of Bangalore, where it is mixed with
bitumen to make roads. The plastic is mixed
with asphalt and forms a compound called
polymerized bitumen. When this is used in
roads, it not only withstands monsoons, but
also the everyday wear and tear. Normally,
the life span of a road is about three years.
But with K K poly blend (the bitumen-plastic
mix), it is increased to about six to seven
years. This is because the melting point of
bitumen is about 60 to 70 degrees, whereas
that of plastic is about 130 to 140 degrees.

Around the same time, Rasool’s son, Amjad Khan, who was studying chemical
engineering at the RV Engineering College in Bangalore, got himself involved with the
initiative as part of his academic project.

From 1998 to 2000, the company went about developing the technology and testing it on
over 600 potholes in Jayanagar. Later they got the technology patented from the Central
Road Research Institute (CRRI).

By that time they had spent around Rs.15 lakhs on developing the technology, but it was
yet to give them the returns.

The breakthrough came on April 9, 2002, when they met the then chief minister of
Karnataka, S M Krishna. “Owing to his encouragement, we were able to lay the first
plastic waste road in Bengaluru in 2002, for a stretch of about 300 to 500 metres,” says
Rasool.

In December the same year, they laid a 30-km stretch of road for the Bangalore
Mahanagara Palike (BMP). In 2003-04, they signed an MoU with the BMP to lay roads for
250 km.

The life span of a road is about three years,

but the plastic - bitumen road lasts for about
6-7 years

As on date, they have laid a total of 1400 km in Bengalaru in different stretches, 2 km in

Delhi and 6 km in Hyderabad.
They have now been approached by the Raichur district (Karnataka) administration to
make a presentation on the project. If their proposal is approved they may get an
opportunity to lay the roads for the entire district.

While the response from people in Bengaluru has been overwhelming and there have
been inquiries the world over, from countries such as Saudi Arabia, Italy, Sri Lanka,
Bangladesh, Burma and Nigeria, Rasool feels that appropriate policies too are needed to
promote such initiatives.
