As architects and urban designers, it is imperative that we scrutinize our design practices comprehensively. This introspection is essential as we endeavor to carve out a sustainable future that benefits not only our profe ...

By Morphogenesis While much of the construction we see today is driven by trends in materials or aesthetics, it is high time we recognise that sustainability is the non-negotiable need of the hour. Sustainable architecture is about minimal possible intervention and maximum conservation of energy, about doing more with less. With this as the central objective, here are a few trends in construction tha ...

By Morphogenesis Sustainable design can reduce a building's energy consumption by up to 80%. However, sustainable design strategies should respond to the context— they should balance the site's unique geography and weather conditions with functional and budgetary restrictions.
