It seeks to bring an agreeable connection between the builder, the building, the occupant and the environmental energies.\n\u003cbr\u003eHindu philosophy says that fame and fortune depends on our “horoscope” or destiny and our “karma” or our actions. Following Vaastu is a part of “karma”. The followers of Vaastu Shastra believe that adherence to the rules brings good fortune to the residents of a house constructed and laid out as per Vaastu Shastra.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe revival of interest of the general populace in Vaastu Shastra is of recent origin, i.e. about 15 to 20 years. The credit for this goes to the pioneering consultants of Vaastu Shastra and the role of media which kindled interest of the general public in the subject and convinced a large percentage of them that following Vaastu Shastra ensures peace and more importantly, prosperity to the household. As a result, many books have been published and many articles written in newspapers and magazines.\n\u003cbr\u003eThis book seeks to provide the basic knowledge about Vaastu Shastra in a simple language and with an easy to follow layout so that the reader can avoid the expenses of engaging a consultant for minor matters and also be knowledgeable enough to evaluate the advice of the consultant before incurring expenditure in carrying out modifications or rectifications.\n\u003cbr\u003eThis book is different from most other books on the subject because it is written by a civil engineer and management consultant and not by a pandit. It lays emphasis on logic and the practical aspects while evaluating plots, houses, flats and offices instead of following superstitions.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe book will be useful to common readers especially those who seek to apply Vaastu Shastra when constructing or hiring their houses but find it too expensive to engage consultants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peacock Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44907930583191,"sku":"9788124801789","price":222.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44907930550423,"sku":"9788124801772","price":347.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788124801789_722x1080_a06468df-5ba2-49c8-b412-c60fc4d8f639.webp?v=1769306175"},{"product_id":"energy-and-climate-in-the-urban-built-environment","title":"Energy And Climate In The Urban Built Environment","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Mat Santamouris\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Group\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Earthscan\u003cbr\u003e • BISAC: Urban \u0026amp; Land Use Planning\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCities have a huge impact on the local climate and require vast quantities of energy to keep them functioning.

The vision and approach of these two cousins, both masters of modernism, helped Chandigarh emerge as a beautiful, planned city. Over the years, however, it has been Le Corbusier who has been largely talked about and, unfortunately, Pierre Jeanneret’s amazing contribution in shaping this city remained unknown. It is this gap that the book Pierre Jeanneret and Chandigarh aims to fill. For the author, Le Corbusier was the dreamer and Pierre Jeanneret was the implementer and it is their partnership that created the ‘City Beautiful’, as Chandigarh is known. Pierre Jeanneret designed housing for government employees and buildings for health and education services, including the sprawling Panjab University campus. He arrived in India in 1951 and left Chandigarh in 1965, with the expressed desire that his ashes be submerged in Sukhna Lake, as he wanted to stay with his creation even after his death. The author brings alive Pierre Jeanneret’s days in Chandigarh, portrays the brilliance of the architect, the humility and simplicity of the man, as well as shows how he worked with dedication to leave a lasting impact on the world of architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Niyogi Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44951823515799,"sku":"9789391125639","price":1625.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789391125639.webp?v=1769200353"},{"product_id":"unfinished-and-far-far-away-the-architecture-of-irving-smith-architects","title":"Unfinished and Far Far Away: The Architecture of Irving Smith Architects","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Aaron Betsky\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Altrim Publishers\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Altrim Publishers\u003cbr\u003e • Subject: Architecture \u0026amp; Interior Designs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAotearoa New Zealand practice Irving Smith builds with the land, not on it.
