This paper aims at discussing the potentials of bottom-up design practices in relation to the latest developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by making an in-depth review of inaugural cases. The first part of the study involves a literature study and the elaboration of basic strategies from the case study. The second part reframes the existing ICT tools and strategies and elaborates on their potentials to support the modes of participation performed in these cases. As a result, by distilling the created knowledge, the study reveals the potentials of novel modes of ICT-enabled design participation which exploit a set of collective action tools to support sustainable ways of self-organization and bottom-up design. The final part explains the relevance of these with solid examples and presents a hypothetical case for future implementation. The paper concludes with a brief reflection on the implications of the findings for the future of architectural design education.


The impending jeopardies relating to dearth of water in performing the techno economic activity of production of electricity in power industries ushered gainful insights for this research paper for pursuing to reckon and quantify the renewable electric energy consumption of water by gauging at the foot prints. This research paper presses the need of the hour to persistently stimulate the electric generation industries to integrate the multidimensional anomalies of seasonal changes of monsoonal fresh water in the arena of Environmental micro and macro climate strategies. Taking cue of electric energy water sequential linkages using water foot printing technology this paper empirically estimated that, minimum water foot print was recorded in selected biomass and natural gas based electricity producing industries to yield 1000 kilowatt of electricity vis-à-vis selected Hydel power station, which has voracious appetite. This research has been performed with a field level investigation of assessing the magnitude of water scarcity by performing a documentation of exemplary investigative case study approach in selected regions of Andhra Pradesh.
