The Bee Buzz

By Anisha Chakrabarty

Hence, the shoring technique has to be designed to retain earth, water and adjacent structures. The b ...

Framing Views: Improving the User Experience of Spaces

By Rahat Varma
We, as users of the built environment, spend most of our days in heavily cordoned off spaces, attempting to both be productive during our work day and to turn-off the hustle and relax after work hours. The unpleasant truth is that we do not have enough time to be outdoors and experience what nature has to offer. With the prevalent introverted construction style being applied to most new developments, it is essential for us as ...
