Dialogue with Nature
Although being a world saviour might seem like a herculean task in this era of climate change, protecting nature collectively is the first headway we make. Nature is an inseparable part of human existence, we being the children of nature’s cosmic forces. We are a microcosm of the universe-continuity of the cosmos.
Vriksho rakshati rakshitah
He who protects trees is protected by them. This delicate web of equilibrium has been lovingly nourished by our forefathers even before the dawn of the civilization.
“Mother Earth, may whatever I dig from you grow back again quickly, and may we not injure you by our labour” -Atharva Veda
Sarvam Khalvidam Brahma
Hindu scriptures translate to a way of life where everything is Brahman and there is no separation between the divine and the world of nature. The cultural heritage of India reflects a deep concern for the eco centric way of living. At Salient we articulate the very same virtues through our nuances of design.
Revere, Retain, Rejoice and Regenerate-these 4 Rs are the very cornerstone of the Sanatana Dharma and our cultural heritage drives us to live this ethos.

RETAIN
Careful planning and land use practices strive to preserve critical habitats, protect biodiversity hotspots and safeguard natural resources for our posterity. By letting nature be our guiding spirit, it itself becomes the inspiration for eco centric designs in an anthropocentric world. Adapting designs to the context in which they are located is the centrality of Salient’s design idea. Respecting the Genius Loci of the place and working symbiotically with nature elevates landscapes beyond form and function.
Since times immemorial our cultural history is a quiet reflection of how our ancestors respected nature. Naturalistic pantheism in our culture recognizes that nature and the ecosystem hold the delicate fabric of our planet together. Standing at the brink of natural mayhem, we collectively recognize the profound importance of nature’s resilience and benevolence, viewing it as an ally in our creative creation process. At Salient we primarily revere and value nature in all our endeavors – Acknowledging its intrinsic value and prioritizing conservation efforts to make informed decisions to acutely reduce our ecological footprints

REGENERATE
Regenerating landscapes help restore ecological health, encourage long term sustainability, increase biodiversity and enhance resilience. Sustainability practices at Salient lend a hand towards regeneration of landscape resources by limiting their consumption. The designed landscape is envisioned as a subset of the larger ecosystem just as human are a part of Brahma himself. In the practical design process it includes biomimicry, blue green infra, passive and carbon positive design which pave way for carbon sequestration, habitat creation and more resilient landscapes.
Amidst India’s rich cultural heritage and diversity, celebrating nature has been an integral part of life. Festivals connect us with nature, pay homage to the beauty and bounty of the natural world, instill a spirit of gratitude and raise awareness among the people. Salient celebrates nature through the spirit of place making. Embracing nature into the designed spaces, allows the users to connect, associate and create memories with the spaces. The designs abound around natural open expanses of function and utility.
