  text: 'Façade plays an important role in modern movement architecture and a critical
    role in the conception of energy and climate-optimized buildings: it is the building''s
    skin and functions as an interface between interior and exterior space. It provides
    thermal and sound insulation and ventilation, and controls and guides the entrance
    of daylight into the building. Tropical climates have unique challenges to reduce
    solar heat gain through building envelope to make buildings energy efficient.
    India has a rich tradition of different forms of architecture and design principles
    - most of them are perfectly adapted to the climatic requirements and constructed
    with local building materials and technology. In the twentieth century, Modern
    Movement Architecture shows a global trend towards transparent, light-flled buildings
    with great expanses of windows and façades with advanced building technology.
    However, the twentieth century modern movement architecture in India evolved in
    response to the climate and culture. In India, remarkably diverse constellations
    of façade design can be traced in modern architecture often taking into consideration
    traditional Indian principles combining them with new materials and constructions.
    Most of them marked by overhanging balconies and horizontal brise-soleils and
    as an example of a human scaled urban infrastructure offering private and public
    green spaces in transition. After independence in 1947 more public, administrative
    and governmental buildings followed in the tradition of the modern movement and
    with emblematic character. This paper presents a review of the influences of modern
    movement architecture on today''s facade design in tropical climate of India.
    The purpose of this review is to reappraise works of the masters of the modern
    movement, in the context of today''s energy and environmental value system; a
    value system which justifies a greater capital cost in money terms with a view
    to minimize recurrent costs in energy terms and environmental degradation.'
