These are the apps and sites that are already quite popular amongst the general masses and thus one can immediately connect with them using them.<br>Another criterion for the selection of platforms is the visuals. Architects tend to favor an app that has a good visual value when compared to others. The platforms like Facebook, Linked In, Instagram, YouTube, etc are well suited to share visual, technical, and intellectual content, and are already a few of the most popular social platforms.</p>

How Effective is Social Media to Get More Architecture Business?

<h2><strong>What is Sustainability?</strong></h2>
<p>Before we delve into the paths you can choose to make your own home sustainable today, it is good to know exactly what we mean by sustainability and what we aim to accomplish by saying we are living sustainably.</p>
<img src="https://planndesign.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/windmills-5643293_1280.jpg" alt="Sustainable Home" style="height: undefined;width: undefined">
<p><a href="https://pixabay.com/photos/windmills-rainbow-fields-5643293/" target="_blank">Image source- Pixabay</a></p>
<p>When described very simply, sustainability meets our demands without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This applies to the natural resources we share with the world and the social and economic resources. Sustainability is not just about the environment but also about social equality as well as economic development, hence when we talk about sustainability we must include all the different factors and aspects associated with it. Living sustainably thus means incorporating principles from all these different fields into your lifestyle. A sustainable lifestyle attempts to reduce the resources one uses for living. There are other names associated with this, for example, net-zero living’ or ‘earth harmony living’ but all these practices attempt to achieve the same- living using fewer assets.</p>
<h2><strong>Sustainability in Architecture and Home</strong></h2>
<p>A sustainable building has the least impact on the environment. This is important not only because the construction section is responsible for 28 percent of global emissions, but also because eco-friendly homes are more comfortable in the long run, in terms of money as well as the health of the users. This includes using materials and resources responsibly, energy efficiency, and avoiding adding toxins to your environment.</p>
<p>And contrary to popular beliefs it is very easy to achieve such a lifestyle without much input from the user’s side. And, now that we know what sustainability truly entails, let’s talk about how you can make your own home sustainable, easily, quickly, and effectively.</p>
<p>Many factors can make a home sustainable before even it is built. Here are some of them listed and explained below. This list by no means is exhaustive, and there are numerous additional things one can look into while in the planning and construction phase. Let us look at some general ones.</p>

<h2><strong>1. Location- Where Matters!</strong></h2>
<p>Location is the first step when it comes to building homes. Location affects transportation both during construction and after the user starts living. The infrastructure and utilities close to your home may also help reduce the impact you create on the environment.</p>

<h2><strong>2. Size- It’s not about the Square Footage!</strong></h2>
<p>The size of your house depends on your need, but it is obvious that smaller homes are more efficient. Not only do they reduce energy consumption and material needs, but they are also easier to manage.</p>

<h2><strong>3. Materials- The Building Blocks</strong></h2>
<p>Local materials used in vernacular architecture are the best choice for the construction palette. They not only are easily and locally sourceable but at the same time, years of knowledge base renders the technology and techniques such that they favor the comfort of the user according to the climate conditions of the location itself. One can also look at recycled or reused materials for part of the whole construction. Some of the commonly recycled materials are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Glass</li>
<li>Wood</li>
<li>Steel</li>
<li>Masonry (bricks, stones, and pavers)</li>
<li>Roofing Shingles</li>
<li>Soil (for landscaping)</li>

<h2><strong>5. Utilising the Sun- Passive Techniques and Active Participation</strong></h2>
<p>You may not be able to change how the spaces are constructed in your home, but you can change how they are used.

<h2><strong>7. Water- Recycle, Reuse and Reduce!</strong></h2>
<p>Water is one of the most important resources. And though it is readily available, there has been a decline in pure and clean water over the years. Hence it becomes very important to conserve it.</p>
<p>Thinking about water is an absolute necessity when it comes to eco-friendly homes. And there are numerous ways one can achieve this. Rainwater harvesting is one of the most popular systems one can incorporate into their homes to save and store natural rainwater. This water can be either used or stored or it can be used to replenish the water table of the locality by using it to recharge the natural aquifers.</p>
<p>But if you cannot or don’t want to commit to such an elaborate system, some efficient appliances and fixtures can greatly reduce the water consumption at your homes. The common taps, showerheads, and even the water closet can be swapped with more eco-friendly and efficient versions of appliances and fixtures which aren’t even expensive.</p>

<h2><strong>8. Renewable Energy Sources- Different Kinds of Systems you can Use!</strong></h2>
<p>Lastly, you can engage in generating your electricity and power your own home completely or partially. The appliances and technologies that might be suitable for this vary from location to location. Yet in the subtropical country of India, solar panels are the most popular and efficient option available.</p>
<p>Other options include solar water heaters and small wind capturing technologies that you can use to heat water and generate electricity respectively. You can use a combination of these technologies to cut that electricity bill.</p>

<h2><strong>7. Energy-Efficient Products</strong></h2>
<p>There are many materials that can be hazardous to humans. Some of them include VOCs (Volatile Carbon Compound), tobacco, smoke, cleaning supplies. One needs to see that these potential contaminants if used in the house, are stored in a safe place and not in a concentration more than required.</p>

<h2><strong>8. Use Eco-friendly and Sustainable Building Materials</strong></h2>
<p>To maintain a healthy and safe environment the quality of indoor air also needs to be checked. It is important that you make sure there is ample natural ventilation throughout the spaces.<br>Other things to keep a check on are to identify the source(s) of dust and contamination entering the house and reduce it. Smooth surfaces that do not strap contaminants and dust particles also add to the health of a house. Items like carpets and fabrics that may trap contaminants must be cleaned from time to time.</p>

Keeping poisons out of reach of children and away from daily use products. One can go a step further and install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for the same.</p>
<p>Maintenance also includes cleaning and making any repairs that are necessary to your home.</p>

9 Pro Tips to Build a Green and Healthy Home

<h2><strong>Glass in India- A Brief History</strong></h2>
<p>Glass as a material is old, it has been used in cathedrals and palaces of Europe since the 16th century. But its use has dramatically increased since the modernist movement in architecture. Large buildings of steel frames with glass facades are the new architectural style of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.<br>It was here when the glass facade became popular in India. With modern architecture style gaining momentum in India, the use of this material became common in office buildings as well as homes. And it is not just the big cities where the glass facades of homes blend into that of the large commercial complexes, even the rural areas can be seen using glass facades for the houses.</p>

<p><a href="https://pixabay.com/photos/church-stained-glass-cathedral-3599448/" target="_blank">Image source- Pixabay</a></p>
<h2><strong>Why is Glass so Popular?</strong></h2>
<p>Lately, glass has become one of the most conventional building materials. It has a variety of uses and advantages. And here are the reasons why.</p>
<h2><strong>It’s a ‘MODERN’ Material:</strong></h2>
<p>One of the biggest reasons for the extensive use of glass facades is the sleek and glossy look it gives to the building, going along well with the modernist style vision. The modernist movement emphasizes form over the ornament and the simplicity of glass helps aid the notion.</p>

<h2><strong>Glass is Sustainable!</strong></h2>
<p>At the same time, glass is durable, contrary to popular beliefs. And it is also a sustainable material (glass can be recycled up to 31.3% globally, though it is 100% recyclable).</p>
<img src="https://planndesign.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/glass-255281_1280.jpg" alt="Image source- Pixabay" style="height: undefined;width: undefined">
<h2><strong>Flexible:</strong></h2>
<p>It is a flexible material that can be molded into any shape, making it a very versatile and most frequently used construction material of the modern era.</p>
<h2><strong>Visual Transmittance:</strong></h2>
<p>Another property of glass facade that makes it so popular is its transmittance. Glass is culpable of transmitting visible light into the spaces. It not only brings light in but connects the outside and inside of the building without any physical openings. This is a great property when it comes to bringing the outer world in mechanically ventilated and/or air-conditioned spaces.</p>
<img src="https://planndesign.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/conservatory-1031494_1280.jpg" alt="Image source- Pixabay" style="height: undefined;width: undefined">
<h2><strong>Durable:</strong></h2>
<p>Glass is extremely durable. It is rust-resistant and hardly sufferers any damage due to sun exposure. On top of this, unlike other conventional building materials, glass does not suffer damage due to dampness or exposure to moisture in any form. It can withstand the effects of the environment very well.</p>
<h2><strong>Insulation:</strong></h2>
<p>In addition to all the things said above, glass is a very effective insulator of electricity. Due to the absence of any free electrons (that can be a credit to its non-metallic origin), glass is a poor conductor of electricity and ensures the safety of the users.</p>
<h2><strong>The Climate of India and Glass</strong></h2>
<p>India is a subtropical country with many areas experiencing harsh summers and heavy monsoons. Thus it should not come as a surprise that glass was never a part of the vernacular construction palette.<br>Since glass is a material that traps heat and prohibits it from escaping from the indoors, it makes the interior a lot hotter in the summers. This leads to a higher operating cost of the air conditioning system.</p>
<img src="https://planndesign.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/dunes-1209146_1280.jpg" alt="Image source- Pixabay" style="height: undefined;width: undefined">
<p><a href="https://pixabay.com/photos/dunes-desert-hot-dry-climate-sand-1209146/" target="_blank">Image source- Pixabay</a></p>
<p>Though this is true for normal glass (which unfortunately was the most popular one until very recently), there have been improvements in technology that can efficiently alter this property of glass to a large extent and prevent it from even allowing heat to come inside.<br>What are these properties, and how they will help you? Everything that will help you choose is discussed in the following part!</p>
<h2><strong>What are the Options? What can you choose from?</strong></h2>
<p>Here are the most common types of glass that are being used in the facades of houses:</p>
<h3><strong>1. Tinted Glass</strong></h3>
<img src="https://planndesign.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/skyscraper-3306092_1280.jpg" alt="Image source- Pixabay" style="height: undefined;width: undefined">
<p><a href="https://pixabay.com/photos/skyscraper-architecture-tallest-3306092/" target="_blank">Image source- Pixabay</a></p>
<h3><strong>2. Stained Glass</strong></h3>
<p>This type is an excellent choice for a decorative facade. Light passing through the stained glass creates beautiful patterns on the surrounding surfaces. And it also limits the amount of sunlight that passes through it and gives the user privacy.</p>
<img src="https://planndesign.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/stained-glass-1181864_1280.jpg" alt="Image source- Pixabay" style="height: undefined;width: undefined">
<p><a href="https://pixabay.com/photos/stained-glass-spiral-circle-pattern-1181864/" target="_blank">Image source- Pixabay</a></p>
<h3><strong>3. Laminated Glass</strong></h3>
<p>This type of glass can be used for increased safety. The lamination layer blocks the noise from entering, reducing noise pollution. The glass does not shatter easily. Some varieties are even bulletproof!</p>

<h3><strong>4. Insulated Glass</strong></h3>
<p>This has two glass surfaces with a layer of dry air between them. Air being a bad conductor of heat insulates and doesn’t allows heat transmission through conduction. It is also an excellent solution for soundproofing.</p>
<img src="https://st.hzcdn.com/simgs/pictures/house-exteriors/bishops-avenue-iq-glass-uk-img~bbd13a3e0271390d_8-0605-1-5dcf579.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: 334;width: 500">

<h3><strong>5. Glazed Glass (Single, Double, and Triple Glazing)</strong></h3>
<p>Similar to insulated glass, glazed ones have a layer of glass. However, instead of air, there is a thing layer of gas that reflects the harsh sunlight, cutting out even the radiation component. It is a perfect choice for the subtropical hot climate.</p>

<h3><strong>6. It’s not just about Glass!</strong></h3>
<p>And at least, it is not just about the glass, many additions can be made to and around the glass to make it more suitable for the Indian climate. Some of them are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adding curtains- for privacy and prevent heat.</li>
<li>Adding external shutters- this keeps the heat out, when necessary, movable, opaque shutters can be added to the glass window to prevent it from trapping heat during peak sunlight hours.</li>
</ul>

Facts You Must Know before Installing Glass Facades For Indian Homes

<h2><strong>Why is an Internship Important?</strong></h2>
<p>For <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/articles/2757-life-architectures-student" target="_blank">an architecture student</a> doing an internship at least once during their bachelor’s is mandatory. To be a certified COA (Council of Architecture) architect, you must do at least one architectural internship during 4.5 or 5 years of your degree. Most colleges even have a slot in their curriculum for their students to fulfill this requirement.</p>
<p>Doing an internship has a lot of benefits for the student. An internship is probably the only way for most architecture students to interact with the world outside and know how things before work. In a shielded environment of a design or construction studio, students often do not get the opportunity to explore and come across problems that are pretty common in the real world.<br>Internships also help students find their area of interest and help them decide what they want to pursue after graduation. A student can, in training, experiment with their fields and hone a diverse skill set. They can do more than one internship and understand the different sectors open to them after they complete their architecture school. The diverse skill set is often something many potential employers are looking for.<br>They also work as the transition stage between the academic environment and professional work.</p>

<h2><strong>When do you Look for an Internship?</strong></h2>
<p>The next question that comes to the mind of any student is how long their internship should be? And when to start?<br>An internship can last for different amounts of time since, for a student, the opportunities limit to summer and winter vacation; the most common internships of 1 to 3 months. Some colleges and universities give their students a chance to intern for 6 to 8 months.</p>
<img src="https://planndesign.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/hourglass-620397_1280.jpg" alt="Architectural Internship" style="height: undefined;width: undefined">
<p><a href="https://pixabay.com/photos/hourglass-time-hours-clock-620397/" target="_blank">Image source- Pixabay</a></p>
<h2><strong>The Next Question is When?</strong></h2>
<p>A student can start doing an internship as early as the first year. Though their skill set would not be compatible with many job requirements, they can still learn through their experiences. Most students apply for internships about 6 to 8 weeks before starting their vacation (the time when they can work).<br>Doing internships in junior and senior college gives a student more advantage in the later stages of their career, whether they are looking for another training or even when they are applying for a job. However, it is more common for students to engage in activities (internships, projects, or even competitions) throughout their college to gain better experiences in diverse fields.</p>
<h2><strong>Where do you Look? Finding the Right Firms</strong></h2>
<p>When you seek an opportunity to gain experience, they should be, according to your taste, in the field that either you already want to build a career in or want to explore. If you aspire to hold specialization in any area, doing an internship is the best way to do so.<br>The next question is, where do you look for internships?<br>There are numerous different ways an architecture student can find an internship. The most effective and common ones are listed below:</p>

<h2><strong>1. Find Out What you are Good at</strong></h2>
<p>The first and foremost thing to look at is what you like and what you are good at. This helps you narrow down the field of your preference and thus the firms you should be looking at.

<p><a href="https://pixabay.com/photos/geometry-math-mathematics-science-5167943/" target="_blank">Image source-Pixabay</a></p>
<h2><strong>2. Using Internet Platforms and Networking</strong></h2>
<p>With the rise in internet usage and networking worldwide, it has become more accessible and easier to connect with firms and look for opportunities you never knew existed. You can look at social media platforms, the pages of firms on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn to see the kind of work and projects they associate with and get in touch with them if you find something interesting.<br>Another more traditional way of networking is through your peers and seniors (or juniors). The people already in the field can give you a much better idea of what is in the area and how you can get it.</p>

<h2><strong>3. Start Early</strong></h2>
<p>Starting early is always advantageous. You can begin by <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/articles/2734-brilliant-tips-make-professional-architecture-portfolio" target="_blank">compiling a neat and expressive portfolio</a> (most firms are not looking for a perfect portfolio, but rather for committed and eager students).<br>Getting in touch with the forms weeks before your vacation and time for internship gives you the opportunities your peers might miss just by being after that you!</p>
<h2><strong>Is There an Alternative?</strong></h2>
<p>If you don’t want to do an internship but still want to gain experience in architecture. There are some more ways you can do so. Taking a project in your department or some other university under the guidance of a professor is always the best way to delve deeper into and broaden your knowledge base. A project is a perfect way to get a very wholesome idea of a field you are new to and want to know comprehensively.</p>
<p>Another way to achieve some experience is doing an internship in the allied branches. Architecture as a field is, vast and one can always explore different areas associated with it. If you are not keen on doing an internship in architectural design, you can look into interior design, project management, MEP systems, and even research and journalism! The gates are open for you.</p>
