Hyderabad: Dispelling the perception that eco-friendly or green buildings are costly to construct, Indian architects have said that with a little bit of modification, the cost of construction could be the same.
Member of Total Architectural and Interior Solutions and MD of Modern Safety Glass, Sadhiq said, “We can construct a green building with the same budget as of a conventional building. Also, modification would not mean a drop in quality; rather the design would be made simple.”
He was speaking on the sidelines of a discusssion called Design Dialogues, organised by architectural bodies here on Sunday. Indian Institute of Architects executive committee member Yashwant Ramamurty said, “We lack in quality. Basically, we copy from the West as we are low on quality. This is due to lack of professional architectural institutes in the country. We have only three institutes who produce an average of 80 graduates annually.” Further, cheap imports from China hammered their busineses, though the scenario stablised after imposition of anti-dumping duties.
