The changing face of modern residential architecture
The evolving culture of
architecture in modern world, both as a lifestyle and as a living, has been game
changing. In regard to lifestyle, it was never predicted the degree to which
architecture and design could influence the society and culture we live in, nor
did it was forecasted how intensely symbolic of our beliefs and attitudes
they’d be. As a profession, the big wave of development and technology that compelled
us to try and ape everything that didn’t belong to us, has made us question and
search for our own identity and provoked us to revisit the solid traditional
roots and foundation of Indian architecture.
The ‘architect’ has obviously
lost the writing and exclusivity s/he once had—a comment that might be visible
not only in India but in the profession all across the globe. At present, the cooperative
role of architecture instead depends on developers, clients, different consultants,
and foreign businesses, somewhere pacifying the voice of the architect.
Speaking for the profession in
India, it is necessary that the role of Texas architect be recognized more
strongly, particularly in the planning of cities. The government’s massive city
decoration drive, which aims to develop sustainable and citizen-friendly cities
all over the nation, has done very petite to include architectural voices into
the conversation. Same stands for our heritage structures that are being substituted
by modern residential architecture despite resistance shown by a contemporary
architect.
Architects are indulging in
social movements and challenging public dialogues to curb the disconnect
between what people look for and what is being given to them.
The booming economy and
population have caused great housing needs, driving the extent of architectural
work and generating great opportunities in the nation. It is also one of the causes
why the number of modern residential architecture firms working has increased.
In the aftermath of cities burdened by the lack of infrastructure, the
opportunity to design and make a difference has become huge.
