Building a conscious future for the subcontinent:

2030 and beyond

Channa Daswatte

In envisioning a conscious future for the subcontinent by 2030 and beyond, it is essential to consider how today’s designs will shape the cultural and historical narratives of future generations. Embracing instinctive sustainability requires a deep connection between form, function, and nature, fostering a harmonious relationship between buildings and their surroundings. By breaking down the barriers between indoor and outdoor spaces, we can create environments that celebrate biodiversity and encourage us to reflect on our legacy. As we explore sustainable materials, low-impact construction methods, and circular design principles, we redefine what it means to leave an architectural legacy. Striking a balance between preserving our rich heritage and innovating for a sustainable future will empower the next generation of architects and planners to contribute meaningfully to a more conscious built environment.
