Conference
Welcome
Nehru College of Architecture is hosting its first National conference on “Architecture & Sustainability of the Built Environment” broadly aimed to discuss & share the knowledge and design ideas developed in the academics and research domain to the outside world and vice versa.
In times of limited resources and continued evidence of significant climate change, sustainability is increasingly regarded to be of global importance. Sustainable design is a collective process whereby the built environment achieves unprecedented levels of ecological balance through new and retrofit construction, contributing to the long-term viability and humanization of architecture. The conference will address core areas of sustainability such as design, energy & materials in the field of architecture and sustainability in urban design and city planning in the broader spectrum. “Sustainability is a fashion nowadays, But the concept is often used so loosely that many people are unsure of what it really means.”

This Conference aims to bring together architects, academicians, and researchers to exchange and share their experience on all aspects of architectural explorations and planning for sustainability. It also provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the field of sustainable architecture & planning.
