104. How Climate Change is Affecting the World's Tigers August 22, 2018 There is no disputing the fact that climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing the planet. It affects so many parts of our life and the world’s human population must do more to tackle this pressing issue.

109. Greenpeace and Climate Change August 04, 2018 Imagine a world where energy was clean, safe, and secure. A world free from oil spills, coal pollution and risky nuclear power.

112. The office with the cool blue flooring! July 26, 2018 Dipen Gada and Associates designs an office for a builder in Vadodara that sports an indigo blue flooring and is surrounded by green pockets wrapping its periphery… The blue flooring is a byproduct of an idea of having a eucalyptus leaf cut-out in the ceiling slab in the reception-cum-central lobby area of the office. Fortunately, since the developer owned the building, this 8,150 sq. ft. premises on the top-most floor allowed the architect liberty to play around with a few architectural elements. “When we cut the ceiling slab, harsh glare and heat flooded this area, which needed t...

The six main sub species each survive in completely different conditions around the world, in terms of geography, ecology and climate.

Tiger Conservation: The Global Effort to Save the Big Cat July 20, 2018 While the most popular Tiger safari itineraries take in the magnificent national parks and reserves of the Indian subcontinent, they are not the only wild habitats of this secretive big cat.

121. Merging practicality with playfulness July 19, 2018 Interior Architect, Eda Tahmaz of EDDA Architecture astutely plays with the drama of contrast to shape the identity of the newly merged entity of Hapag-Lloyd and UASC at Izmir, Turkey. For Hapag-Lloyd, a company that transports cargo through waterways, EDDA Architecture has enabled the inhabitants of the 1,000 square metre head office to switch from enjoying the views of the Aegean Sea to focusing on the task at hand. This is achieved by creating a vibrant inward-looking environment that places a hierarchy of sorts to both – the formal and informal spaces. For instance, informal spa...
