Design Spotlight
The Rise of Eco-Centric Horizontal Design A growing movement in India is challenging the dominance of high-rise urban living by promoting "eco-centric horizontal design." This approach advocates for low-impact architecture that prioritizes sustainable living through spread-out, ground-level developments rather than vertical density. The trend suggests a shift in how sustainable residential communities are planned, focusing on reduced environmental footprints and closer integration with natural landscapes.

Sustainable Design
Architecture Curricula and Sustainable Development Recent academic discussions highlight the critical role of architecture education in achieving sustainable development goals. The design of buildings and urban areas holds immense potential to shape sustainability, specifically through material usage, energy efficiency, and lifecycle environmental impacts. As architects play a pivotal role in this endeavor, updated curricula are increasingly focusing on these essential pillars to prepare the next generation of professionals for climate-responsible design.
