Indian Concrete JournalSummary: Architecture is both art and science; it is physical yet intangible; it is the buildings we build and it is also the assimilation of life, lifestyles, history, culture, evolution, creativity, desire, ambition - all rolled in one. Alongside humans, architecture too has evolved over centuries – adapting to geography, topography, climate, rain, snow, wind patterns, locally available materials, migration, human habits, cultural movements and in response to adverse natural events; resulting in unique methods of construction which fit the requirements and aesthetics of people from different regions. The solutions were therefore, also unique; and over time these responses became intuitive giving a diverse regional tone to the language of constructed spaces.
