Iit Bombay Project Evergreen (2026)
Traditional restoration often relied on conjecture or incomplete historical records. Project Evergreen provides conservators with exact measurements and 3D blueprints, allowing for "surgical" restoration that preserves the original character of the building. If a part of a monument is damaged, the digital twin can be used to 3D print or carve an exact replacement.
In a geologically active country like India, monuments are at risk from earthquakes and floods. Having a digital twin ensures that even if a structure is partially destroyed, it can be faithfully reconstructed to its original specifications.
Going beyond visual preservation, the project involves installing sensors on these structures to measure vibrations, tilt, and environmental stress. This allows engineers to assess the "health" of a monument in real-time, predicting potential failures before they become critical. iit bombay project evergreen
The reconstruction of the iconic Hostel 7 (H7) and Hostel 8 (H8) , along with the creation of the new Hostel 21 (H21) to address a critical shortage of housing for women. Sustainable and Modern Design
By digitizing these structures, IIT Bombay seeks to: In a geologically active country like India, monuments
IIT Bombay plans to extend Project Evergreen beyond the campus fence. The next phase includes:
Project Evergreen is not a single intervention but a multi-pronged strategy built on three foundational pillars: This allows engineers to assess the "health" of
Project Evergreen has achieved significant milestones, including:
