​Play is the highest form of learning

Picture
A child is thoroughly fascinated by his surroundings. Right from birth, a child tries to comprehend and absorb every little detail of the world around him. How exactly does he or she try to do this? If you leave an infant or a toddler on his own in a safe space and observe from a distance, you will notice that he engages all his senses and performs all types of plausible physical movements to understand, explore, and move around the space. For young children, sensorial exploration is a primary means of communication with their environment.​

Picture
A home is a very personal space for anyone.

​How Bioclimatic Design strategies can help in safeguarding our own future

Picture
The United Nations has expected the world’s urban population to reach 68% by 2050[1], a fact that corroborates exponential developmental growth around the globe.
