The practice of architecture in India exists within a deeply symbiotic environment. In response to global trends, the profession maintains strong roots in ancient wisdom and reverence for existing resources. In the ever-changing world, the profession plays an inevitable role in the growth of not just the city but also the people living in it - envisaging the future roads one might lead. This interconnectedness has enriched the architectural discourse and fostered a collaborative vision towards a common goal.
The approach to architecture as a collective is constantly redefined by the ever-changing scenarios and challenges one faces. With a resilient design approach, urban development is capable of withstanding and adapting to various challenges. It encompasses strategies that enhance the overall ecosystems and mitigates the impacts of environmental and social changes; no longer viewed as a solitary endeavour, but rather a collective effort that is holistic and integrated.
An adept blend of technology and rootedness has created an environment that enhances the urban fabric. The architecture of today goes beyond building materials and sustainability. With the advent of technology, designers are presented with multiple tools that can assist in the thinking process while revolutionising the entire approach. By leveraging these tools, the construction industry is becoming more efficient and working towards the built environments for the future.
Architecture as an art form experiences a constant but interesting shift. Where once form would follow function, the structures now react to the urban fabric. The buildings need to be future-ready and be urban spaces that give more than they take.
