Consequently, high internal gains and stress on available resources have led to innovative developments in the way these buildings need to be designed and built. Sustainable architecture mus ... Building , Workplace #ConstructionUpdate: Shoring Technique By Tanvangi Asthana An interesting shoring technique which we got to work with, for a multi-storey office building in Noida. The soil type in Noida is loamy and construction site has high water table. Such a combination of soil type and high water table creates the possibility of collapse (cave-in) of trench walls at the time of excavation. Hence, the shoring technique has to be designed to retain earth, water and adjacent structures. The b ... Workplace The Glocal Story By Shruti Khandelwal Google defines the term ‘Glocal’ as ‘reflecting or characterized by both local and global considerations.’ In architecture, the meaning is interpreted as ‘local in global’ and ‘global in local’ context. In other words, application of local elements in global presence, or essence of global context reflected on a local platform. In the age of globalization, from organizations to individuals, one is trying to enga ... Workplace Psychology of the Office Space By Tim Wyne (Guest article) When employees aren’t motivated at work, it shows. Lower performance, more sick days, and higher turnover rates are just a few of the costly ways that unhappy employees express their dissatisfaction. In the United States, these costs to the nation’s economy are estimated to run around $500 billion dollars annually. Across Europe, the costs are an estimated €242 billion.
