Tradition and place
Vastu Shastra is a traditional Indian framework for thinking about buildings and space. Interpretations vary across texts and practitioners; these ideas are not a replacement for structural engineering, accessibility, fire safety, or climate-appropriate design.
Plan for real-world needs
Before changing a building, consider daylight, airflow, drainage, accessibility, budget, and local codes. Consult a licensed architect or engineer for construction decisions.
