Architecture is changing with the new dynamics in technology. Imagine one day when the building can decide itself., what mood you’re in and what changes in building dynamics can help lift your mood?

Buildings consume 40% of our total energy consumption and the increased use of artificial methods of Heating, cooling, ventilation and air conditioning has led to a huge pressure on energy resources. Is there a way to minimize these energy consumption or dependence on artificial methods? Yes! Through passive solar design one can achieve energy efficient building designs with apt use of knowledge about seasonal changes in sun path, landscape in the site and solar gain and loss techniques.
It is possible to harness solar energy without using any equipment at all through Passive solar design.  It involves the use of thoughtful site selection and site orientation, by using basic structural elements of building and space planning strategies to create comfortable spaces to dwell at a very low cost.   

We are in the times where people are spending most of their times indoors, be it their homes, workspaces, institutes or hospitals and nature has been pushed out of our houses. With the scarcity of land and its ever increasing prices the green pockets within homes and within communities have been diminishing which is further detaching individuals from the nature and creating a disconnect with the outdoors. This is where the requirement of Landscape design becomes really important which combines art, nature and design to create spaces for people to live in, recreate in and just enjoy in general.  With good designs we can have sustainable and beautiful places in which to work, to live, and to built cities.
Landscape architecture has been around for centuries. From elegant ancient Zen gardens of Japanese to the axis based designs of power created by the Romans, landscape architecture has always been a staple of intelligent society. Landscape design has also been an aesthetic expression through art and nature, a display of taste or style in civilized life, an expression of an individual’s or a space for Leisure, peace and tranquility—a refuge from urban life. 

The design or presence of all type of openings in a building be it window, door, louvers, skylights, curtain walls or wall panels are referred as fenestrations. Strategic use of fenestration defines aesthetic appeal of the elevation and also leads to energy efficiency by minimizing air conditioning and artificial lighting cost. 

Natural light in homes or offices not only have immense health benefits but also lead to better productivity and comfort. It’s not just the high electricity consumption on artificial lighting that has led to demand and inclination towards better naturally lit spaces, it’s also the increasing understanding of its benefits that has led to consideration of light as a key element in contemporary architecture.
