TIHG takes a look at five famous sustainable architects who are leaving a green mark on our built environment.
PREM NATH ASSOCIATES
Green is simply in vogue right now! According to architect Prem Nath, “Green homes were a way of life during ancient times - all houses were made from locally available materials, all homes were planned with north orientation and wind direction in mind; there were central courtyards planned for better ventilation, and all structures were insulated and planned as per the local weather.” Somewhere on-the-way to mimicking the western world, we seem to have lost track, and the inclination, towards building green homes he further mentions. Adding to this view he says, however, today every conscious citizen is working towards greener and livable spaces. We have various materials and equipments available to ensure that we live in a sophisticated home, and yet, it is a green home: ensuring well insulated walls and ceilings.
