Illogical Architecture

Well in Bangalore, I see so many modern, glassy buildings coming up. The irony of this form of architecture is most of the modern commercial buildings are completely skinned with glass and not concrete/brick walls. This surface inlets lots of heat inside the buildings, the heat is trapped inside the building and the temperature inside the building increases. Cooling down the temperature requires heavy Air Conditioning, this in turn consumes loads of Electricity. And the Industries here complain that there is no adequate supply of power here. Well we miss-use the resources to this extent, how can the government cater to our needs?

We build these buildings just to stay in-line with the WEST. But the western countries are cooled in climate and an intake of heat is desirable.

BUT HOW LOGICAL IS THIS IN INDIA ?
