Architecture & Planning - Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
The practice has from its inception attempted to develop a relevant contemporary syntax of Architecture for the sub-continent articulated through architecture as a synthesis of ‘Ecology' and ‘Spirit'. ECOLOGY implies a seamless, cohesive and integrated approach to design.This is achieved through the assembly of a group of highly motivated and evolved specialists in diverse fields drawn from across the world. It is about creating lasting relationships that become so deeply intertwined that the whole ceases to be a sum of disparate parts and instead becomes a living, breathing organism in itself. SPIRIT implies balance. Through an ‘ongoing process of ‘Manthan' or churning the practice has gleaned from the rich historic, cultural and philosophical past (not in a purely literal or generic sense) incorporating the process of continuous change and generating & contemporary design idiom. The Design process to the mind Is a complex matrix with sustainability as the ultimate objective. We have generated a diagram which is a constant guide in the endeavour to maintain SAMYAMA or BALANCE as a path towards meaningful design
