"Almost fifteen hundred years
before modern architecture came into its own, Vaastu Shastra, the
classical Indian treatise on architecture had set down principles
of good planning and design which have been in practice in this
country since. Vaastu is a comprehensive building philosophy
which pertains to the built form and its relationship with the
natural environment and the needs - physical, emotional and
spiritual - of the occupants.
"Today, people expect a vaastu
application to provide them instant cures and unending prosperity
by relocating an entrance, window or room. seek to place vaastu in its proper
perspective as a highly evolved science, ridding it of the myths
surrounding it. Working on knowledge obtained from ancient texts
and architectural examples, we provide valuable insights
about design concepts which are practical and beneficial for
everyday living.We examines the schools of thought existing in
the tradition, the system's application, responsibilities of the
designer, and the design itself. Try to combine
traditional wisdom with the needs of a modern and transitional
society".
