Indian architecture fraternity is developing fast and is trying to create a benchmark in design and quality and its own strong identity. We are already talking about the future of India, not only purely in context of the western world, but we are creating architecture which has a lot of significance - an Indianness, if not in the look and feel, then in the way the philosophy of architecture is being followed.
Construction is becoming more and more conscious of sustainability and zero carbon footprint. Awareness is very high, especially for large urban projects. The architect fraternity is creating newer benchmarks and are trying to incorporate the best of new technologies. This is also true for the construction industry, which is fast adopting digital technology. This will lead to a great jump in both the architecture and construction industries, especially in construction management.
There is an abundance of opportunities, and the way India is progressing, we need to remain competitive, hone our skills, and use technology in the most optimal way. We will also have to ensure that the design documentation and delivery is at par with international standards. A couple of decades back, there was no synergy between the fraternity and the industry, but now, even as we speak there is a synergistic flow which will lead to good, creative developments between the construction industry and the architect fraternity.
Whatever factors were missing in our creativity because we were unaware of a lot of developments at the local level are now no longer an issue as there is a lot of interaction and awareness about development of materials like terracotta and other local elements. As a fraternity we are doing many things, like parametric facades, and are using many different kinds of materials which are being improvised and reintroduced into the industry. There was once a huge dependency on imports, which is now being filled by indigenous products.
We are in the golden era of Indian architecture and are going to take a big leap as an industry. The construction industry significantly contributes to the GDP of the country. And today, there is so much of infrastructure development happening, that the opportunities for architects will be immense.
