Building orientation

Okay, here’s the rewritten blog post, stripped of all special characters, emojis, and symbols, with a sarcastic tone:

**Hot Climate, East-West Direction: A Recipe for Disaster (and a Recipe for a Good Start!)**

India’s scorching heat is a constant companion, a relentless assault on the human psyche. We’re all just trying to find the right angle for our buildings, the optimal orientation for our buildings, and the best way to maximize the heat gain.

Let’s be honest, the idea of building orientation in east-west direction is a bit of a fairytale. It’s a recipe for disaster, a recipe for a perpetual cycle of scorching heat and stagnant air.

The problem?

* **The Right Angle is Hard to Find:** We’re all just trying to fit the right direction into the landscape. What if the wrong direction leads to a steep incline, a dangerous side-by-side structure, or a potentially catastrophic collapse?
* **Heat Loss is a Reality:** The sun’s rays are a relentless assault on our cells, relentlessly burning away our precious energy.
* **The Lack of Proper Orientation:** We’re all just trying to find the best spot for our buildings, and often, that spot is a poorly-engineered, poorly-maintained area.

So, what’s the solution?

I’m not saying we should abandon our building designs entirely.

Instead, we should explore the possibilities.

* **Consider a More Strategic Orientation:** Maybe we should build a more strategically placed structure to avoid the worst-case scenarios.
* **Invest in Proper Ventilation:** We need to make sure our buildings are well-ventilated to prevent the build-up of heat and moisture.
* **Think Beyond the Standard:** Let’s embrace the unexpected. Maybe we can build structures that are more resilient to the elements.

Ultimately, the goal is to create buildings that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also efficient and sustainable.

And maybe, just maybe, we can even learn from our mistakes and adapt our designs to better suit the changing climate.

So, next time you’re building, remember the importance of proper orientation and the potential for a disaster.

In hot climate like India, building orientation in east west direction seems wrong. The orintation shold be long axis parellel to north – south to minimise heat gain. Right?
