Ekistic Relationships

We at Tanda strive to adopt an Ekistic philosophy and approach in the spaces we develop to blend human activity with its environment.

What are Ekistics Relationships?

Ekistics is the Science of how people live.

It details how the designs and constructions of our cities, communities and homes affect:

• The Environment in terms of the impacts to the landscape, ecology
• Human Beings in terms of our psychology, culture and everyday activities and interactions
• Beauty and The Aesthetic such as architecture and artistry.

What are our Ekistic Relationship Goals?

Tanda Creatives believe in Harmony between the environment, people and the aesthetic.

We wish to see due considerations and the promotion of synergistic relationships between them when designing, modifying or building man-made structures by following the following Ekistic principles

• Maximise our contact with
  • Elements of Nature (water and trees)
  • Other People
  • Other Works of Man (buildings and Roads)
• Optimise our personal and private protective space from other persons, animals or objects so that we may still be in contact without any sensory or psychological discomfort
• Minimize effort and resources required for construction while observing the following
  • time and space constraints
  • actual conditions
  • our ability and limits to create a synthesis
• Increase the quality of our relationship with the natural and man-made environment
• influences architecture and Art
