The built environment plays a vital role in bringing out the best in human habitat.
The pandemic has made us more conscious and pragmatic about our comforts, safety, and health. Buildings are now more open with interiors that promote hygiene and have fundamental provisions to fight airborne and other contactable diseases. Habitats are being designed to be more liveable, eco-friendly, sustainable, and healthy.
Design is the basis through which further patterns emerge. Architects and designers articulate designs that improve living standards through elements like cross ventilation, natural light, and greenery.
From modernism to post modernism and the latest isms, the sustainability factor remains common.
It is the sustainable buildings that can take shape of any ism, provided they are liveable and eco-friendly. The fundamental trend in architecture is to create a wonderful piece of working sculpture, which, when sustainable, is at the height of its creativity.
Building materials today are eco-friendly, ergonomic, aesthetical, and adaptable. With these tools, designers can always improve the quality of the built environment. Composite materials like reinforced concrete, composites of wood, ceramic, metal, and reinforced plastic are being applied in highly creative ways. Bacteria resistant materials and surfaces are in demand now. Materials are becoming energy efficient, and more attractive, with a long life, while continuing to retain their texture and gloss.
