Stories of Design and Community
We spotlight projects that define the creative soul of Indian architecture, connecting stories of designers from metros to small towns.
I love to feature projects that tell a unique story, like 'Vanvas', a home nestled in a forest in Ahmedabad. This dwelling, with its brick, stone, and entwining vines, is a beautiful testament to harmony between architecture and nature.
About this collection
When we feature a project like the 'Vanvas' dwelling in Ahmedabad, we look beyond the surface aesthetics. We examine the dialogue between the brick and stone structure and the surrounding forest, capturing how material choices facilitate a living connection with nature. We aim to articulate the narrative behind every wall, ensuring the architect's original intent resonates with our national audience.
Our platform thrives on the rich diversity of the Indian architectural landscape. We believe that every project, whether an urban dwelling or a rural retreat, possesses a distinct spatial narrative that deserves to be heard. By focusing on material honesty and site-specific responses, we help bridge the distance between design intentions and the public eye.
Why Storytelling Matters in Architecture
In an era of rapid construction, many projects lose their soul in the process. We prioritize features that highlight the human element. For example, when showcasing a residence, we explore:
- Materiality: How the choice of local brick or stone impacts the thermal comfort and longevity of the structure.
- Site Integration: How the building responds to its natural environment, such as the forest-integrated design seen in the 'Vanvas' project.
- Design Intent: The specific challenges the architect solved, from spatial constraints to cultural integration.
Joining the Community
We provide a national stage for architects, designers, and students. Our goal is to foster an ecosystem where seasoned masters and thriving young professionals can share wisdom.
