Digital Innovation in Heritage Management: Exploring possibilities of I-BIM and H-BIM through Borobudur Temple and DhanyakuriyaBy Sayan Munshi, Devesh Mani Tripathi, Dr. Sumanta Deb
Abstract: Heritage buildings are vital links to our past, embodying the architectural, cultural, and historical significance of earlier eras. Their preservation has become increasingly complex due to environmental degradation, structural aging, and the evolving urban landscape. This paper investigates the application of Heritage Building Information Modelling (H-BIM) as a comprehensive methodology for documenting and conserving these structures. H-BIM leverages advanced digital technologies such as photogrammetry, laser scanning, and Geographic Information System …

Reimagining Solid Waste Management in India: A case of Circular approach in C&D Waste ManagementBy Sayan Munshi, Aditee Prabhakar, Rajarshi, Sweta Rupapara
Abstract: Construction and demolition (C&D) waste, which accounts for an estimated 150–500 MT yearly and about 10–20% of the nation's total municipal solid waste (MSW) generation, is a significant management challenge for India. Accelerated urbanization, population increase, infrastructural expansion, and urban redevelopment initiatives are the main causes of this quickly expanding waste stream. Much of this waste is disposed of through uncontrolled dumping, encroachment on low-lying areas, and overcrowded landfills in …

Smart and Circular Lakshadweep: Innovating Solid Waste Management for Sustainable Tourism DevelopmentBy Sayan Munshi, Devesh Mani Tripathi
Abstract: Urban growth necessitates effective resource management, especially for resource-constrained island communities. This study focuses on the Lakshadweep Islands, examining the shift towards a circular economy through the perspective of solid waste management, with an emphasis on enhancing tourism and circular economy principles. The circular economy aims to eliminate waste and continually use resources by creating closed-loop systems where products, materials, and resources are reused, repaired, refurbished, and recycled. This study …
