Impact of globalisation in Indian architecture

The Indian architect needs to address global issues, also develop the technology and infrastructure to pursue the same kind of goals. Indian architects are in various offices all over the world and they could be here if they get similar opportunities. People are now coming back to India, and we may soon have the abilities to match the foreign firms Our only regret is that, over a period of time, international architects are being commissioned to do work in India to produce magnificent buildings. Do we get any great buildings? If you want to bring in someone from these international offices do bring someone who can create an impact. They are generally specialists treating the skin of the building. Nowadays, you have to focus on concepts like sustainability, and energy conservation, etc. These are global concepts and are required in the present times. We need those global firms However, lately people are gaining more confidence in the Indian architect. Today, there is more collaboration. Architecture has become a collaboration of specialists and consultants. They can bring world-class expertise for works in India. You can have an Indian architect and the specialists called in for what is lacking. I believe the Indian architect is growing, has more experience now and can match the quality set in the field, if given equivalent opportunity.
