program, including a bake shop and library/student lounge area on the lower level and a restaurant on the top floor overlooking the city, and may be entered from St. Claude or through the courtyard. The secondary volume contains the more active academic component of the school: the teaching kitchens. Each floor contains two kitchens, overlooking either St. Claude or the courtyard. The tertiary building contains classrooms, a demonstration laboratory, and a lecture hall, and overlooks the courtyard. The structural system of the building is comprised of a steel diagrid system. The angles in the diagrid were derived from the angles of the slants in the building form, and were overlaid to create a pattern. This pattern was then wrapped around the top and two sides of each volume to create a structural tube. This system allows for a free floor plan and unobstructed views.

Digi-Art MuseumHistorically, architecture has a sign of stability, strength, and power, an ideology reflected in its form and materiality. However, throughout architectural history, an idea imerged that architecture could take on a dematerialized quality, and begin to ap-pear less solid, both conceptually and physically. As architecture is gradually embracing dematerialization, the digital world is becoming an ever more tangible reality. Digital art exemplifies this shift by bringing ephemeral digital technology into the physical realm.

Built on an open block along the levee in New Orleans, the building is divided into two volumes, with the Warhol Foundation in the lower volume and the rental offices cantilever-ing over the site. Between the two volumes is an outdoor terrace with a smal dining area. The site is terraced for use as public gathering space. The facade is comprised of panels that create a woven

In the past year, HPP’s services have made six key impacts: • Awareness change o Through education, HPP has changed villagers’ current knowledge and perceptions of risk associated with open defecation, which has motivated the use of toilets. Education has also created awareness of the benefits of electricity provided through the HPP system. 330 different people attended HPP’s education program during its first year. • Behavior change o Through education programs, HPP increased the percentage of villagers that wash their hands after defecating from 30% to 32.5%. o The education program has brought about a 2.5% increase in the number of villagers who consistently use toilets.• Condition change o Through the provision of sanitary facilities and promotion of hygiene, HPP has reduced the incidence of diarrheal disease transmitted via the fecal-oral route in children under the age of 5 (assuming most cases of diarrhea are caused by the fecal-oral route) by 2.2%. o HPP has helped villagers that switched from Kerosene to HPP’s battery-powered LED system save an average of $20 per year, or 5% of their annual income. o HPP has increased access to electricity in the village of Sukhpur by 7.2%. o HPP increased access to toilets in the village of Sukhpur by 3%.The remainder of the report will describe major milestones HPP has achieved over the course of the past year, and the impacts it has made over that period of time.

Community Surveys Collecting baseline data is essential when trying to track progress. In July 2012, HPP obtained information on the six areas its program would impact by surveying Sukhpur’s residents.

This baseline data shows that there is significant room for improvement in health outcomes, sanitation, hygiene, access to electricity, economic conditions, and education.

The Humanure Power Project (HPP) combines proven technologies to decrease the burden of disease, provide an opportunity for economic development, and preserve human dignity. HPP simultaneously increases access to sanitation and electrical infrastructure by providing community toilet blocks that harness methane in order to generate electricity.project overviewSince winning the Dell Social Innovation Challenge in 2012, HPP has achieved immense success in Sukhpur, India. Between June 2012 and June 2013, HPP completed two community health surveys, launched a monthly health education program, constructed a community toilet block with 8 toilets for men and 8 for women, began harnessing methane gas from human waste, and generated and distributed electricity to local villagers. Overall, our efforts in the last year have increased access to sanitation infrastructure for 3% of Sukhpur’s residents while increasing access to electricity for 6% of the population.

Toilet Use, March 2013 – June 2013• Toilet Use Motivators and Deterrents Community members began using the toilet block in early March, soon after it had been completed. HPP was interested in monitoring what conditions motivated or deterred people from using toilets. For recordkeeping purposes, we installed turnstiles, which counted every individual who entered the toilet facility. While turnstile records told us the number of people who used the toilets over a given period of time, they did not offer any insight in to why these numbers varied day-to-day. The average number of users in the first few weeks of operations was consistently low – approximately 30 people per day. On-going community surveys revealed that most people defecate as soon as they wake up, sometime between 5:30am and 6:00am. Initially, HPP’s community toilet block was open between 7am and 5pm. HPP quickly altered its hours of operation and noticed a dramatic increase in users. By late April, nearly 250 villagers were using the community toilet block daily (the vast majority early in the morning). Approximately 80% of users return to the toilet block at least four times per week, a strong indication of consistent use.Education of the HPP process and programs consists of informative meeting held every other week as well as information provided at the facility to all users.• Other Considerations Variations in daily weather also influenced use. People were less inclined to walk to the toilet block on rainy or colder days. Data was also stratified according to gender. Data for the months of April and May showed that 65% of toilet users were men (all age groups), and prompted a more aggressive education campaign aimed at women. Subse-quently, HPP noticed a 4% increase in the number of female users (all age groups) by the end of June. HPP Is confident that the number of female users will continue to rise through its renewed emphasis on women’s health issues in health education programming.

health education HPP’s health education program was a continuation of efforts made in previous months (see July-October section for more details).

Community Toilet Construction, November 2012 – February 2013• Breaking Ground HPP began constructing the community block of toilets in conjunction with Sulabh International. SI used local labor it had trained during the construction of the first four toilets (wages were covered in the total construction cost). • Toilet Block Completion Sixteen toilets, eight for women and eight for men, were constructed on top of the biogas digester so that waste could be collected to produce methane gas and thus, electricity. To protect privacy, the men’s and women’s toilets are separated by a wall and have separate hand washing areas. Community members who had participated in health education sessions and various stakeholders organized a traditional prayer ceremony to bless the new facility, a tremendous honor for HPP.

Battery Pilot Program, November 2012 – February 2013 • Expanding the Battery Pilot Program HPP expanded its battery program by distributing an additional 20 batteries to the community. 10 were distributed to the local government school, 5 to the local health clinic, and 5 more to shopkeepers. In order make this expansion possible, HPP had to acquire additional cow manure at a cost of $17.99 to meet the energy demands of 25 total batteries. • Benefits Shopkeepers noticed an immediate impact; the new LED lights drew new customers and enabled them to stay open longer. Light at the clinic meant that families visiting relatives no longer had to sit by bedsides in the dark. Community members were empowered by the fact that for the first time, they could control when they had light.
