The Art of Durable and Beautiful Facades

The façade of a structure is called the "face" of the building; however, it is so much more than just an outer skin. It is the interface between architecture, structure and environment — the first visual statement of design intent and the primary barrier protecting the structure from heat, rain, wind, pollution, and time, and plays a vital role in modern architecture today, ultimately influencing the building’s durability and aesthetics both. The façade’s role is neither superficial nor symbolic alone. In India’s diverse climatic conditions, facades today must achieve a balance betwe..

Can India Build the World’s Next CE Hub?

India’s construction equipment industry is entering a defining decade. As infrastructure investment expands, supply chains diversify and global manufacturers look beyond traditional production bases, the country has a rare opportunity to move from import dependence to manufacturing leadership. The ambition is no longer limited to making more machines in India; it is about designing, localising, validating and exporting equipment that can compete in global markets.The sector is already on a strong growth trajectory. India’s construction equipment market is estimated at around $ 10.5 billion..
