Ecological Architecture- Building in Bangalore
Ecological architecture responds to 2 key crises confronting us globally. The crisis of poverty and the lack of access to work,education,health and all allied services is the first one. The second is the environmental crisis with the consumption of natural resources beyond sustainable limits and the generation of pollution streams beyond the carrying capacity of the globe itself.
Through design and through the architecture of space work is generated to produce jobs of a skill which is nurturing thus addressing the first concern. The second concern is addressed through building to enhance bio-diversity , using local materials such as earth, harvesting rain, using solar energy,using ecosan,recycling grey water, growing food on the roof and being as creative as possible in minimizing the ecological footprint of the house.

Eco is not only about cooling a house…it is about the use of local
skills/materials and design. It is also about the wise use of resources
like the sun, the rain, the wind and bio-diversity.

@popapape There was a talk on Ted related to water harvesting in Rajasthan.
Search for “Anupam Mishra ted” and you will find it. Hope you like it.

Lovely house. Very inspired by your house sir. I have a plot in jayanager.
Thinking of doing something along the same lines. But make it a little more
contemporary in styling.

Great Job. Does the basement have any special pumping systems/water
proofing? is it possible for the rainwater to go inside the basement when
it rains? is the ventilation enough?
