ARCHITECTURE & ECOLOGY - The desegregation of all the design disciplines through the rules of environment that relates life .From single dwellings to mass housing, from high rise to retrofits, it is now accepted that smartly incorporated ecological design is the intelligent and most sensible economic decision in every aspect possibly considered.

The environment of ours is dynamically interlinked with ecology, the connections of life on earth. No organism is an autonomous entity isolated from its environment. It is part of its environment, rich in living and non-living elements all of which interact with each other in some fashion. To retain environmental balance trees play an essential role.

So, keeping in mind the role of trees in fighting against global warming which is now-a-days every so often talk, it has been decided to have “SPIRIT OF TREES” as a theme of TAMIR 2010
