Architecture is the art and science of designing the space around us as per our imagination and requirements. It is the reflection of cultural heritage , the economic progress and also identity of the people of a particular region. To bring out  some fascinating stories from the world of Architecture across different corners of the globe ‘Worksphere’ presents ‘ArchiCast’.

The TERRA Award-winning SECMOL School in Leh-Ladakh is a model of advanced rammed-earth construction and passive solar architecture. Ladakh is a tough terrain for survival. In a region where survival itself is difficult, creating a conducive learning environment for children is even a bigger challenge! Sonam Wangchuk accepted this challenge and a very special unique school  - SECMOL took shape. 

In this episode of Archicast we will be talking about ‘SECMOL : an innovative school in Ladakh famous for its sustainable vernacular architecture‘.

Today, modern culture and advanced building technology are quickly spreading. This has resulted in creating generic building styles across the world. There is an overall loss of identity and cultural vibrancy. In these times, there are few unique cultures with exceptional geographies who are holding on to their roots. In this episode  we are going to unfold the stories of such indigenous architectural styles.

For such tame technology, air conditioning really packs a punch when it comes to enabling environmental obscenities, indefensible infrastructure, and shortsighted settlement patterns. In the story of how A/C came to underpin human overshoot, you couldn't make up a better bad guy. Perhaps the most Batmanesque villain we've encountered would make a good candidate for mayor of Crazy Town (teaser: he's been called "the scientist who almost destroyed the planet"). Join Asher, Rob, and Jason as they turn up the heat on air conditioning and contemplate how to stay cool in the days of heat waves, heat domes, and global heating.
