Man is the subject, object and the cause of architecture. He perceives and
conceives architecture in relation to his experience of himself with the
surrounding world. Through art of design, he alters and moulds the elements
of natural environment. The world comprises of five basic elements, also
known as the Paanchbhootas. They are Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space. Out
of the nine planets, our planet has life because of the presence of these
five elements. Earth and Water have limited and localized availability for
the human habitat and growth. They form apparent and fundamental choice
makers in the location and the physical form of architecture and habitat.
Sun, Air and Space are universally available and can be moulded to human
needs by the act of design. In order to understand the act of design with
these five elements, we shall have to take each one separately to appreciate
their meaning, role, and workability in architecture.
