These innovative building exteriors are intentionally designed to adapt to environmental conditions such as sunlight, wind, rain, heat, and cold in real time. Unlike static facades, dynamic facades integrate advanced materials and technologies to respond dynamically to external and internal variables, including user needs. Dynamic facades use sophisticated systems such as movable louvers, shading devices, kinetic panels, and smart materials capable of changing their properties based on environmental stimuli. The primary objectives of dynamic […]

According to the story, the hotel’s architecture consultant William Chambers, had originally designed the entrance to face Mumbai’s waterfront shoreline. However, due to communication or construction errors during his on-site absence, the building was reversed and the facade ended up facing away from the sea. Upon his return Chambers was allegedly so distraught that he committed suicide.However the story has several loopholes, for one, the original architect of The […]

We may refer to these challenges as Blind Spots, the areas that are often cast in the dark when ephemeral (lasting) aesthetics and budgets take precedence over long lasting functionality. Why do architects have them ?  The stark contrast between architectural studies and practice is the prominence given to planning, functionality, practical execution, […]

Cinema, on the other hand, is a play of expressions, while architecture comprises several elements and communicates through them. Both mediums rely on visuals and serve as cultural expressions, dealing with space, time, people, and spatial narratives. Architecture carries cultural meanings, symbolism, and social value. In the current computer-driven world, new concepts of virtual space are emerging in cyberspace. The built environment often serves as a backdrop for characters, highlighting […]

Burle Marx was a landscape architect who blurred the lines between artist and designer, forever changing the way we see the spaces around our buildings. A Modernist MaestroBurle Marx emerged during the modernist movement, a time when clean lines, geometric shapes, and functionality dominated design. He incorporated these principles into his landscapes, but with a tropical twist. Think less rigid symmetry and more flowing, organic forms. The Magic of the […]
- [How Architects Use Natural Light to Transform Spaces?](https://micronation.co.in/2024/01/28/how-architects-use-natural-light-to-transform-spaces/): How Architects Use Natural Light to Transform Spaces? One of the primary ways architects use natural light is through the placement of windows. Windows are strategically placed to allow natural light to enter a space and create a sense of openness. Large windows can create a connection between the interior and exterior of a building, allowing the occupants to feel more connected to nature. The size, shape, and placement of windows can also affect the quality of light that enters a space, creating different moods and atmospheres. Another way architects use natural light is through the use of skylights. Skylights […]

- [Is architecture in India a slowly sinking ship?](https://micronation.co.in/2022/03/16/is-architecture-in-india-a-slowly-sinking-ship/): P.S. – Not a Motivating Post!! Architecture in India is like a slowly sinking ship. We have failed the profession. Do you know why? Let me tell you one by one. 1. Because presently most of the architectural employment adverts are like: Hello folks! Do you need a job post B.Arch.? Great. We also need cheap, experienced employees who will work like a slave and in return – we are going to pay you peanuts. Oh! I only forget to mention – apart from your four-digit pay, you won’t get any form of perks and you will be obliged to […]
- [Sustainable Architecture as a field.](https://micronation.co.in/2021/05/29/sustainable-architecture-as-a-field/): The profession of architecture has well-defined boundaries in the form of professional boundaries delineated by a licence to practise. On an ideological level, this design core is hotly debated. Architects are not the only ones who design structures, but they claim to be the only ones who make ‘architecture\’ rather than just structures. As a result, architecture, as a profession is characterised by the tacit knowledge of aesthetic, practice and the right to develop the value of ‘architecture\’ independently, rather than by service or dependable information. Sustainability is a topic of discourse and practice that traverses numerous professions and disciplines, […]

- [MICRO NATION CHALLENGE - 3 (INHABIT)](https://micronation.co.in/2020/10/15/micro-nation-challenge-3-inhabit/): When COVID-19 hit us, it hit us hard. Many lives were affected. Many businesses went  down, many people lost their jobs, and  a lot of them lost their lives. Government took various steps  to compensate its peoples\’ loss. Many schemes were launched, many funds were  raised. A lot of NGOs (Non Government Organization) came forward to help. Every person  helped the needy in whatever way it was possible. But, are  only humans effected from this? Are only humans dying? To find the answer, let\’s just go for a 2 minute walk down  your street. What did you see? Who else […]
- [9 LIVES OF A BUILDING](https://micronation.co.in/2020/10/10/9-lives-of-a-building/): Like cats being gifted with a new life every time they just miss their demise, buildings are constantly propelled towards change and reinvention in order to sustain their existence. Here Jill Stoner, Director of the Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism at Carleton University in Ottawa, and Professor of Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, for 32 years, identifies and reflects upon nine possible future lives for buildings. ABANDONMENT Abandonment is the oldest and most immediate, perhaps most natural, response when a building has outlived its intended purposes. For centuries we have simply left behind those structures that no […]

MICRO NATION is launching its very first architecture photography competition for all the photography enthusiasts out there.  The theme being ‘MINIMALIST ARCHITECTURE’. What is MINIMALIST ARCHITECTURE? Minimalist architecture, sometimes referred to as \’ minimalism’, involves the use of simple design elements, without ornamentation or decoration.  Proponents of minimalism believe that condensing the content and form of a design to its bare essentials, reveals the true \’ essence of architecture’.

- [Winners Interview! (Vacanza)](https://micronation.co.in/2020/08/29/winners-interview-vacanza/): What were your key priorities while designing? Offering an experience, a very tangible experience, that can help the visitor to come closer to the nature as well as forget the scratches of urban walls from his mind for a short time. What all you made sure were avoided? For designing a cottage in an island, I tried to avoid exotic materials and to use biodegradable and natural materials so that if in future there comes a time when the island has to go under sea, everything can be given back to the nature that was taken.   What was the toughest […]

- [CHABUTRAS: Where Birds Reside](https://micronation.co.in/2020/08/24/chabutras-where-birds-reside/):              One of the most beautiful traditions of India which has now almost disappeared in every part of India except at the entrance or center of villages in Gujarat and a few places in Rajasthan and Maharashtra is the Chabutra, a tower-like structure with octagonal or pentagonal shaped enclosure at the top. On the roof are several holes, wherein birds can make their nests. The structure is supported by a pillar with a sitting platform at the base where villagers can sit and talk.

- [COURTYARD: Just An Element?](https://micronation.co.in/2020/08/16/courtyard-just-an-element/): With time, the growth in population has resulted in more compact houses. Not only the size, but the style has also changed. If you compare today’s house plans to house plans 30 years ago, they will be completely different. Not only the materials and placement but also many key elements have been subtracted from the house designs. One of the main features of an Indian traditional house is the courtyard. Every household had a courtyard. No matter the space limitation, they managed to construct a small courtyard in the center of the house. People at that time could live in […]
- [ARRIVING TO A DESIGN CONCEPT](https://micronation.co.in/2020/08/10/arriving-to-a-design-concept/): First of all, people should be very clear about what comes under \’concept\’ and what does not. A design concept is the idea behind your design. It is how you plan on solving the design problems in front of you. Its the underlying logic, thinking and reasoning for how you\’ll design your building. Some people would say that their concept is \’minimum circulation\’ or \’maximum ventilation\’. But these are not concepts. Concept has to be the idea behind your design. It can\’t be the needs of the building. Every building design must have some basic requirements like, proper ventilation, minimum […]

- [Why Short Competitions?](https://micronation.co.in/2020/08/03/why-short-competitions/): WHY SHORT SHOT ARCHITECTURE COMPETITIONS ( LIKE OURS) ARE IMPORTANT? Every architecture student keeps on looking for an architecture competition to participate in. But have you ever asked yourself, \” Why am I participating in these competitions\”? For cash prizes? For acknowledgement?  or For learning something new? International competition organizers charge handsome registration fees for their competitions. When you participate in them, no doubt you try your best and give your full efforts. BUT! Is that enough? Winning these competitions take a lot of hard work, skills and experience. So where can you polish your skills for such competitions? Nope, […]
- [SHEET PRESENTATION](https://micronation.co.in/2020/07/28/sheet-presentation/):           ARCHITECTURE SHEET PRESENTATION 1. SIZE AND ORIENTATION Most of the time, the jury mentions a specific sheet size and number of sheets. If that is the case then you have to decide the orientation of the sheets ie; Landscape or Portrait. In many Architecture Competitions, It is always mentioned to compose the sheet in landscape orientation. This restricts the participants\’ creativity. But then that is what the challenges are about. But when you have the liberty to choose the orientation, it is very important that you choose the right orientation. One cannot say whether landscape […]

According to you what were your key priorities while designing?  \”The design of the house should reflect the culture of the land in some aspect.

When asked \”What all you made sure were avoided ?\” Mohsin replied, “Things which reduce the carpet area should be avoided as far as possible, like masonry walls, adding a lot of furniture or having room proportions that […]
- [DESIGN THINKING PROCESS](https://micronation.co.in/2020/07/20/design-thinking-process/): Design Thinking is a design methodology that provides a solution-based approach to solving problems. It’s extremely useful in tackling complex problems that are ill-defined or unknown, by understanding the human needs involved, by re-framing the problem in human-centric ways, by creating many ideas in brainstorming sessions, and by adopting a hands-on approach in prototyping and testing. Understanding these five stages of Design Thinking will empower anyone to apply the Design Thinking methods in order to solve complex problems that occur around us — in our companies, in our countries, and even on the scale of our planet.

- [CASE STUDY #3 - A Little Design](https://micronation.co.in/2020/07/13/case-study-3-a-little-design/): Taiwanese studio A Little Design has converted a former piano studio in Taipei, Taiwan into a tiny apartment with built-in, space-saving furniture. Formerly a piano studio, the apartment measures just 17.6 square metres and has a ceiling height of 3.4 metres. A concrete beam that runs widthways through the apartment further restricts the amount of space available. The owner of the city centre apartment travels frequently with work, sometimes living abroad for short periods of time. When in Tapei, she favours a shorter commute over extra space. \”Although the owner does not need a big flat, before it was redesigned, […]

Called LifeEdited2, the residence contains two rooms fitted with adaptable furniture that can be reorganised for different functions, including dining, lounging, sleeping […]

Hanczar – a lecturer at Wroclaw Academy of Fine Arts & Design – used the tiny apartment primarily as a place to sleep, but wanted it to feel more like home. \”The flat was for me like storage and hotel room,\” Hanczar told Dezeen. \”It was the greatest solution after being like a squatter.\” \”Extremely small flats are great for people who are Minimalist, who want to enjoy the city life.\” The double bed rests on top […]
