The concept of sustainability has become central to our way of life. It has permeated every aspect of our lives, from the food we eat, to the cars we drive, to the clothes we wear and even the homes we live in. We all know that the spaces we inhabit have a direct correlation to our mental and physical well-being. Post the pandemic, and as a result of it, we have become more aware, and many of us have redesigned the spaces we inhabit. This is not just limited to residential spaces but also to commercial areas. Sustainable architecture is the need of the hour.
Interestingly, a number of organisations that have office space in older buildings (built before the concept of green architecture and sustainability came into prominence) are working on redesigning the interior, installing energy efficient mechanisms, and focusing on water conservation and responsible waste management. And, this awareness is now leading people to reimagine spaces at the neighbourhood, town and city level.
Going Green
Green buildings are the future as they have a positive impact on the natural environment and also the inhabitants of the space. These use processes that are resource efficient and environmentally responsible, which last throughout the life cycle of the structure. Mitu Mathur, Director, GPM Architects and Planners believes that architects must recognise the importance of designing buildings that support the health and well-being of their occupants and must consider the WELL certification in addition to green certifications. They should also become more inclined towards finding solutions for the neighbourhood and not just be focused on isolated building projects.
