THE WORLD IS NOW SLOWLY REALIZING THE SERIOUSNESS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE . BEING AN ARCHITECT , WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON
SUSTAINABLE PRACTICE IN ARCHITECTURE TODAY ?
DIVYE : Sustainability is a word that has emerged to the forefront of all architectural discussions at present . Creating a careful balance between human needs and the needs of the ecosystem . In buildings , the core concepts of sustainability revolve around judicious use of resources , and a good building life cycle . As buildings grow in scale , the technicalities associated with sustainability and green design can get increasingly complex . However , the central ideas of sustainable design are simple . It can be applied to architecture at any scale , irrespective of the function . The key is to design a building that is site-specific and remains rooted in its context .
Our role , as architects , is to also design a self-sustaining micro-ecosystem , containing the building on-site , as a part of the larger ecosystem on the planet .
