Controversial thought: Architects are often asked by clients if they follow VASTU when they design buildings. But being a Landscape architect, I ask: If we care so much about VASTU inside buildings, why do we forget about it outside? There are specific TREES recommended by VASTU to bring success, yet we often overlook them because we don’t want to leave any open spaces in our plot. Shouldn't we fully commit to VASTU beliefs, even if it means sacrificing some indoor space to make room for Trees?

People, Policymakers and evidence: the pathway to better living environments for everyone. Will be following this story as it develops.

Monday's marvel | Transforming Institutions with Expertise Architects are the unsung heroes of institutional construction, weaving innovation into the very fabric of our shared spaces. How do we as architects transform the landscape? Glad you asked... We are Consultation Wizards: - Architects are more than blueprint maestros; we're collaborators. Through in-depth consultations, we partner with institutions to understand unique needs, weaving functionality and aesthetics into every design. It's a symphony of ideas that births spaces tailored for purpose. We are Accessibility Advocates - In the spirit of inclusivity, architects champion accessibility in institutional designs. Ramps, elevators, and thoughtfully planned spaces ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, can navigate and thrive within these structures. Every inch is crafted for equal access. We see ourselves as Historical Guardians - Preserving the past while embracing the future, architects are the custodians of history. In institutional construction, we delicately balance modern needs with historical preservation, creating spaces that stand as living tributes to our South African heritage, and beyond. Architects don't just design structures; we craft narratives, where every design choice tells a story. From consultations that breathe life into ideas to preserving the echoes of the past, architects in institutional construction are the silent narrators of the collective journey. #ArchitecturalWonders #InstitutionalConstruction #ArchitectsAtWork #cottlebergh
