Unified Architectural theory by Nikos. A. Salingaros

The book by Nikos A Salingaros titled Unified Architectural theory is a must read for all budding and established architects. It strongly advocates a theory that sets to revolutionize the way designs are rolled out for residential buildings , townships and business districts.

The book is an attempt to rewrite news with new title i.e. to provide new interpretations to architecturaldesigns.
Nikos proposes that architecture should be an extension of life itself. Resemblance to life forms provides people with sensorycomfort andthe perception towards life and work changes dramatically.

Ancient history of the Egyptians, Mayans who built pyramids based on nature, southern architectural theory.

Developing nations like India have concrete jungles that have senseless planning which has resulted in pollution and a population living on the edge. This has given way to needless frustration among its people and acute displeasure with their surroundings.

A nation’s health and well-being which directly contributes to the happiness quotient which in turns results in high productivity depends on better environment designs.

Better environment means designers need to adopt designs that incorporate biological definitions. Designs which are highly attuned to the life forms and their nature.

Unified Architectural theory aims to answer all the questions and helps designers around the world to be proponents of biological designs. The book aims to highlight and helps us to identify with our ancestorswho lived in harmony with nature.

To rewrite news with new title is difficult, as change is met with stiff resistance. This radical theory hopefully will provide a better tomorrow with sustainable living.
