Hyderabad: Given that several construction activities lead to breaking careless rocks and stones which are the mainstay of geology, Hyderabad, experts say that the architect must design projects around these stones without disturbing natural formations.

Talking about how to disrupt the profile of the land can cause landslides, Architects Srinivas Murthy, said, “If you look at these stones, they are so beautiful consisting and sitting for millions of years and they never fall.
But when you try to destroy these stones, you also tend to disrupt the soil profile that will cause landslides.
It’s always the best not to touch natural creation.
