Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka is known as the Silicon Valley of India for the high number of ICT
(Information and Communications Technology) companies and tech parks it has. The ICT industry has provided
millions of people with jobs in this city and has resulted in a population explosion, which has over time led to
Bangalore facing infrastructural crises along with strain on its natural resources. This paper discusses how
sustainable architecture can set up a model for sustainability in perpetuity in Bangalore’s tech parks in the 21 st
century.
