“Bioclimatic architecture is when we design with nature and not against it. The
“Most of the buildings in The Wellness City are properly positioned, oriented,
and proportioned to create a favourable microclimate. When in a physical
environment of these qualities, people naturally change their way of living,
from a lifestyle of sickness to a life of fitness,” said Rabie, adding that The
Wellness City will connect to the ‘Art of Living’ Ashram meditation hall and
amphitheatre through an enjoyable walk.
Sumit Singla, CEO, Prime Land Promoters and Builders (PLPB), promoter of ‘The
Wellness City’ said that every possible effort has been made to enforce the
layers of wellness – social, psychological, physical, and spiritual wellness.
“It is designed for the human experience. We aim for a shift of priorities from
the industrial, vehicular-based built environment to the natural humane built
environment,” he said.
Talking about LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), Singla said
that the project will be a LEED-certified project, ‘The Wellness City’ adheres
to every norm to ensure the holistic well-being of its residents and the
environment as well. In
Reflecting further, Rabie, an International Union of Architects (IUA) awarded
designer, said that if one’s house is well orientated with the sun and the
wind, encouraging favoured airflow and reducing unfavoured solar radiation,
then he can open a window towards a well-shaded planted transitional space
instead of using the AC when it gets hot.
Set to be an architectural marvel and first of its kind residential complex in north
India and spread in 100 acres of land, ‘The Wellness City’ will have luxurious
apartments, stunning villas, and high-end townhouses that come with expanses of
lush green landscape and world-class amenities.
Lohit Bansal, MD, PLPB, said that 'The Wellness City' is a low-density project
with ample parking space. The buildings are energy friendly with low
consumption. Plots are in flexible sizes such as 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450,
500, and 1000 square yards. “Sustainable housing is the need of the hour.”
Talking about his association with 'The Art of Living', Bansal who is also an
'Art of Living' teacher said: “'The Wellness City' epitomizes the values and
ethos of The 'Art of Living', which is more of a principle, a philosophy of
living life to its fullest. It is more a movement than an organization. Its
core value is to find peace within oneself and to unite people in our society –
of different cultures, traditions, religions, nationalities; and thus reminding
us all that we have one goal to uplift human life everywhere.” BW
