An architect is defined as a master builder, one who designs buildings and superintends their
erection. Architecture as the art and science of building, which encompasses technical,
artistic, economic and social aspects.
Every building is a part of ecological circle and has a footprint. As such, architecture is
closely linked with urbanism, ecology, environment, natural resources, public health
(Covid19), water and energy. This makes architecture a dynamic and evolving phenomenon,
which is changing from architectonic to parametric and ecological. The book ‘Architecture:
Past, Present and Future’ provides a comprehensive narrative on evolution of architecture,
green building, climatology, building resources pyramid, parametric and morphotectonic
architecture and infrastructure services. Written in a simple language with about 310
illustrations, the book provides a futuristic view of architecture.
