Construction trends that need to go!

While much of the construction we see today is driven by trends in materials or aesthetics, it is high time we recognise that sustainability is the non-negotiable need of the hour. Sustainable architecture is about minimal possible intervention and maximum conservation of energy, about doing mor ...

Framing Views: Improving the User Experience of Spaces

By Rahat Varma

Delhi Architecture: Weaving the Past with Present

By Pratibha Chauhan

Sustainable Smart City

By Manit Rastogi
The definition of a Sustainable Smart City to me is that the city of the future has to be zero water, zero energy and zero waste to landfill. We need to start thinking of our buildings and cities as Bazaars (places of human interaction) rather than only as Machines (places of human habitation). So how do we redefine our urbanism as an emergence of interwoven networks? The first thing is to determine the carrying capacity of t ...
