Architecture & Planning - New Delhi, Delhi, India
Habitat Tectonics - Architecture & Urbanism (HTAU) is a Delhi based architectural research and design practice that believes in the ability of architecture to transform and inspire. HTAU was set up in 2010 by Mriganka Saxena and Puneet Khanna, an urban designer-architect team with over 12 years experience, both having worked in the UK and India.At HTAU, we believe in the concept of genus loci or the spirit of a place. From the lie of the land, landscape setting and physical location of a site down to materials, crafts and building technologies, the various explicit and implicit elements that define the spirit of a particular site must inform the design of any object or place. We believe that this approach manifests itself in the creation of buildings and places that are not only true to themselves and their larger context but are inherently sustainable. HTAU lays emphasis on sustainable infrastructure and building systems, both critical for the success of any project. From passive methods to the use of appropriate technologies, we believe in finding innovative solutions to minimise the negative impact of building activity. Mriganka is responsible for leading the masterplanning and urban design jobs within the Practice whereas Puneet heads the architecture and interior design jobs. Both are equally involved in every project that the practice undertakes, aligning different viewpoints and priorities to deliver a richer product.
