Architect Mayank Barjatya & Michael Rice, Launch “de Architectura” In Pune Today.

Jan. 31, 2008 - PRLog -- De Architectura, India’s first vastu-Bio architecture company is announces the launch in the dynamic field of vastu and bio architecture from today.
De Architectura is a company that integrates the best of the ancient and the trendy worlds it incorporates the architectural principles of the Indian science of vastu shastra, and the elements of the trendy new mantra going round the world – bio architecture.
“In a fast-changing world, architectural concepts cannot afford to remain static any longer,” says Ar. Mayank Barjatya, the force behind the concept. De Architectura offers a design approach arising from natural principles, taking us back to the tradition and science of vastu to give us built forms, which are in harmony with human energies.

On a personal note Ar. Mayank Barjatya, says that “while living in homes people tend to indulge more n more fighting with external forces rather than their internal self, the toxic living system has made people search for resorts, pundits and other avenues running away from their home, De Architectura would make the homes which have balanced energies & personalized spaces”.
Utilization of contemporary resources and technology along with the vastu principles gives ‘De Architectura’ an innovative dimension.
De Architectura will help consumers, be it individuals or businesses, and design better healthier living and working spaces, more in conjunction with nature.
Technological advancement may have brought fast-paced construction to our doorstep, but an important task that modern architectural design needs to focus on today, is to strive for compatibility of its designs with biological requirements, psychological & emotional needs of the people. This is exactly what De Architectura proposes to do.
Mr. Michael Rice, the award winning architect and member of the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland, was also present on the occasion. If Barjatya represents the vastu architecture arm of De Architectura, Rice is the bio architecture arm.
He teaches ‘Sacred Geometry and Coherent Emotion’ internationally, and says, “As nature uses shape to hold charge or life force, it makes complete sense to use nature’s shapes and proportions for the shape of our spaces and buildings. In terms of architecture and design of space, I believe that by creating spaces that are based on the pure principles of natural design we provide a sacred environment that can nurture our bodies, minds and spirits. We can literally design to raise the vibration of the inhabitants. We can use our quantum consciousness to create the space, and to clear it of any stresses that do not serve life.”
To drive home the need of nature-friendly designs, Mr. Prabhakar Ganbote (construction expert) says, “In building living spaces that can be viewed as complimentary to inhabitants’ health, and optimal productivity, bio-architectural models and patterns are acquiring increasing importance. The consumer is becoming more aware too, and architectural concepts like De Architectura are the need of the hour.”
De Architectura is already working in its chosen realm of vastu-bio architecture in projects around the world, some leading ones being the Vitalife Resort in Bali ( the 45 acres project of 90 million USD is a state of Art healing resort with residences for mixed use of holiday and permanent homes); The Camphill Homes in Germany, (energy architecture project for handicap children), In India, too, the group is Principle architects in designing the Nirvana Wellness city coming up at Wada Thane ( a fully integrated wellness township of 120 acres with 9 international healing villages, a 5-star hotel, golf course and 100 fully serviced lake facing Villas), Wildernest Healthy Homes Khadakwasla-Pune (Villas township of 160 acres fully designed with Bio-architecture principles on each 1acre plot.)
The company plans to tap the lucrative township, health industry & real estate sector with its innovative and harmonious design consultancy.
