Special Issue: Vanguard Indian women architects

Yet again, we delve into the world of luxury architecture in this Issue. Luxury is no longer just about extravagance; it is the freedom of choice. It’s a relative concept, yet one thing remains constant. What makes something exclusive is how it makes you feel. And in that sense, luxury, now, is way more personal. It’s about celebrating you! 
“Authenticity is non-negotiable,” states Architect Sumit Dhawan, Founder Cityspace’82 Architects in our cover feature. One principle that he abides by is the idea of creating architecture that is in harmony with the environment, respecting natural materials, and using innovative techniques that reduce impact. Which brings us back to our discussion
on luxury that’s responsible and conscious. Sumit manages to straddle the two worlds with remarkable ease. In this Issue, we also bring to you a showcase of India’s most stunning luxury residences, featuring cutting-edge design and innovative materials designed by some of the most renowned names in the industry.

This Issue has been our most ambitious one, until now. And what an experience it has been. This is our festive gift to our readers - The Luxury Disruptors powered by Schueco! The Issue brings together six architectural firms — who are revolutionising the notion of luxury — creating a whole new paradigm. We travelled to 5 cities to meet these visionaries in their domain, where they create and envision the spaces that exude inimitable style and elegance. The feature is a deep dive into not just their designs and practices, but also gives you an understanding of their enigmatic personalities. These visionaries are disrupting the luxury landscape of India.

Shantanu Garg has a distinct style—it’s neither ethnic nor modern; neither purely contemporary or classical; it’s unique. It derives heavily from the rich history of luxury in India; and yet has an unmistakably modern twist. His journey through design is all about elevating the ‘Made in India’ story to the ‘Designed in India’ narrative. In our cover feature, we take you to his fantastical world of design that is truly Indian. We take you to the world of The Modern Maharaja.  

As we dwell on the definition of Modern Indian design sensibility, in our special segment—Young Icons, we shine the spotlight on ten brilliant young design thinkers who are invigorating the design landscape with their fresh perspectives. Young Icons is more than just a segment; it’s our commitment to fostering the next generation of visionaries. 

When peers, competitors and mentors become collaborators, you witness the synergy of different perspectives working towards creating something truly unique. In our special feature on collaborations, we explore how such creative synergies are reshaping the design ecosystem, not just in India, but globally!

In this Issue, we shine the spotlight on commercial spaces—personal studios, corporate offices and mixed-use developments. In our cover feature, we speak to architects Vijaya Bhargav and Arnab Ghosh, Founders, OSTRACA. For over 16 years, the dynamic duo has been instrumental in revolutionising the often-overlooked realm of corporate interiors. The Issue features some really interesting office spaces—from a biophilic office designed by Meena Murthy Kakkar of Envisage, to a quirky space by Ali Baldiwala and a mixed-use development by Studio Lotus. It’s interesting to note how corporate spaces have evolved in recent years, especially after the pandemic. From being just a functional space to designing human-centric, versatile spaces, the office landscape is unrecognisable from what we have now. And it will continue to adapt and evolve. The world of design is evolving, and we are here to document this constant evolution of the design landscape.

In this Issue, we decode the nuances of interior design and take you to some of the most interesting homes in the country. In our special feature on wellness architecture, we talk about the synergy between the built and the unbuilt, and the art of creating spaces that intuitively foster relaxation and harmony. In our cover feature, we sit down with designer Shilpi Sonar, architect Satyadeep Sonar and Arpita Sonar for a candid chat on creating a legacy through design—we explore the minds behind this extraordinary family of designers.

In this Issue, we dissect the notion of sustainability. We talk to experts and take you to spaces that stand as templates for sustainable design. Cloud 9 Sports Centre in China envisioned by MAD Architects exhibits the synergy between technology and sustainability, the Ecove Centre for Vocational Empowerment by SEZA Architects and the Polycab Experience Centre stand as beacons of social sustainability. We also spoke to architect Rahul Bhushan of North on the importance of vernacular architecture, and his intuitive architectural journey. And now, our cover feature. Landscape architect Kunal Maniar needs no introduction. It’s one thing to design a space, but it’s quite something to be able to collaborate with nature. In a candid conversation with A+D, he spoke about his inspirations, his design philosophy and his thoughts on sustainability. We met at one of his magical green spaces in Alibaug, amidst bougainvillea creepers, palm trees and frangipanis, with the landscape meandering in and out of the built environment.

In this Issue, we delve deeper into the nuances of luxury and into the enchanting and exclusive realm of bespoke luxury, into the shifting meaning of luxury, exploring its roots and essence in an ever-changing world. In our cover feature, we speak to Simran Boparai, the visionary founder of her eponymous practice Simran Boparai Archtelier, who has deftly tapped into the luxury market. Simran’s residential projects are a study in opulence and grandeur. In an in-depth interview, the visionary designer talks about her inspirations and her journey through design.

We thought this Issue would be befitting to pay homage to the designers and architects who paved the way for the younger generation. “As we commemorate Women’s Day, we pay tribute to the formidable Indian women architects and designers who courageously redefined possibilities in a male-dominated field,” says Kashish Kaushal in her feature. It’s because of them that we can now proclaim, “It’s a women’s world.” Their wisdom, their vision and their inspiring journeys—there’s a lot to learn, imbibe and implement.

In this Issue, we shift our focus to integrated cities, real estate and infrastructure projects. Any built structure leaves an impact on the identity of the city. However, larger projects define the design identity of the city. We take you to some of the most interesting projects around the world. Envisioned by the Bjarke Ingels Group, the master plan of Mindfulness City, Gelephu, Bhutan, integrates Bhutan’s culture, the Gross National Happiness Index (GNH) principles, and the country’s spiritual heritage. Yet another interesting project is the Jiaxing Train Station by MAD Architects in Shanghai. The project replaces a dysfunctional train station. The project breaks away from the common pursuit of grandiose monumental buildings and makes them urban public spaces with transport functions, natural ecology and cultural life. We are also featuring Arunyam by Rahul Kari, a second home project that serves as a blueprint for sustainable architecture.

We dedicate the first Issue of the year to the monuments of the future—museums, airports, city centres, parks—spaces that are designed and built for the public. In the cover feature, we get you up close and personal with architect Raman Sikka of SAA, New Delhi. With over three decades of practice, and an extremely diverse portfolio, Raman Sikka is one of the architects who’s redefining the design identity of India. From the Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya to the much-anticipated World Trade Centre, he certainly has an enviable portfolio. 
And yes, as usual, we bring to you an excellent bouquet of projects by some of the biggest names in the industry—Patrik Schumacher of Zaha Hadid Architects, Winy Maas of MVRDV, Sonali Bhagwati and Sohrab Dalal and Ravi Sarangan of Edifice.

This Issue, we reached out to the young icons of the world of design to understand their perspective on the future of design. Unconventional materials, new technology, innovative building methods…there’s a lot brewing in the world of design. We give you a precursor of sorts! 
Our cover star needs no introduction! Eclectic, charismatic, quirky, idiosyncratic, and a genius of a designer; Sanjyt Syngh is unapologetically himself! There’s nothing subtle about his designs; he is bold and audacious, and we love that about him! In a candid conversation with Kashish Kaushal, he decodes his intriguing style of design and spaces.

Architecture defines the personality of a space, and the built identity of its context and the interiors—the colours, the textures, the furniture and the accents—brings in the design narrative. This Issue, we turn our focus to interiors—the elements that make a house a home! We take you to fabulously curated spaces by some of the most sought-after names in the industry.  
We’ve often pondered on the role of an interior stylist. Is it just about giving the finishing touches to a space, or is it a lot more layered and complex? This Issue, we give you a glimpse into the world of interior stylists. We interviewed four exceptionally talented stylists to understand the nuances and responsibilities of being an interior stylist.

For our cover feature, we spoke to the minds behind this behemoth of a project Surat Diamond Bourse — Sonali and Manit Rastogi. While the design is something we all knew about, this conversation revealed the process that went behind designing an office space for not an individual or an organisation but a community. What stood out was the democratic approach to design, and their commitment to sustainability. In that sense, the Surat Diamond Bourse sets a benchmark for sustainable and responsible building practices.  Yet another compelling read is Ankita Rathod’s feature on collaborations in design. Through her feature, she captures that magic that ensues when two or more creative minds collaborate to create something new, in a completely different typology. And for those looking for interesting gifts for the festive season, Kashish has done half your job! Finally, we take you to some of the most stylish and opulent spaces in the country and beyond. With this Issue we are thrilled to present the first edition of Architecture+Design Young Icons. It’s time to celebrate the future of design, isn’t it?

The Issue is dedicated to the architectural marvels of the Middle East. Concepts, technology and spaces that push the envelope when it comes to innovation. The National Museum of Qatar in Doha, the gravity-defying BEAAH Headquarters in Abu Dhabi by Zaha Hadid Architects, Maraya in AlUla, the upcoming teamLab Phenomena, a unique immersive experience in Abu Dhabi—spaces waiting to be explored and admired. The Middle East is certainly proving to be an experimental ground for architects and designers. There’s so much more to write about and to visit.

This Issue has been tremendously interesting to collate. Right from the research to the in-depth conversations with the architects, to the writing of the pieces, it’s been a learning experience. Museums and other such cultural spaces essentially become the identity of the city, the state and the country. Take for instance, The Louvre in Paris, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain, these museums are integral parts of the identity of the city. India still has a long way to go. But with museums like Smritivan, MAP, Museum of Socialism…it’s only a matter of time.

In this Issue, we focus on residential architecture. Unabashedly opulent, idiosyncratic, rustic, cosy, futuristic—we bring you an eclectic mix of styles and typologies. Krish Kothari’s opulent creation, Karan Desai’s surreal manifestation of the client’s brief, AKDA’s thoughtful response to a restriction on site, all spaces that urge you to explore and admire.
In our cover feature, we speak to the young and dynamic design duo Shreenu and Ranjeet Mukherjee of The Vrindavan Project—a boutique design studio based in Gurugram. For the cover shoot, we travelled to Sohna, on the outskirts of Delhi, to one of their ongoing sites. There’s something surreal about witnessing a dream transitioning to reality...brick by brick.

Sustainability is not just about local materials, renewable energy and energy efficiency. One should understand the connections between the environment, society and the economy. I reiterate, sustainability should permeate all aspects of our day-to-day lives. In that sense, one should understand the three pillars of sustainability: • Environmental Sustainability • Economical Sustainability • Social Sustainability. And all the projects we have featured in this Issue have ensured that they place a minimum impact on the environment. On our cover, we feature the very dynamic architect Dr Ponni M. Concessao of Oscar, Ponni & Rahul Architects. Her magnum opus, the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Telangana State Secretariat, was recently inaugurated; that also made her the first woman architect in India to have designed a state secretariat.

For the anniversary special, it only made sense that we bring back the tradition of being the voice of the industry. We asked them, can design change the world? And we were met with a resounding ‘yes’. In this issue, we present to you thought-provoking essays by the biggest names in the industry. We also raise a toast to 40 emerging architects, designers and practices of India. Creatives who have made a difference in their own way, and are changing the way we live, one space at a time. We sign off with an interesting segment on the rules of design from the experts themselves!

In this Issue, we focus on institutional architecture, and we take you to some of the most intelligently designed spaces of learning. To start with, the Wuhan Library in China, designed by MVRDV in collaboration with UAD. It’s interesting to know that even in this age of digitisation, communities and governments are still investing in libraries. In our cover feature, we talk to yet another young and dynamic architect who’s shaping the future of Indian architecture. In an in-depth interview, architect Dinesh Panwar of Urbanscapes takes us through his journey in design, and talks about how sustainability is no longer a choice, but the need of the hour.

This Issue, we feature two distinct aspects of design—personal spaces and public spaces. During the pandemic, and after, the focus shifted to our homes, while at the same time, we realised the importance and relevance of well-designed public spaces. There’s another aspect that came to the fore during the pandemic—a new crop of designers and architects who had gradually started making their presence felt in the Indian design scape. On the cover, we feature power couple Akash and Poonam Mehta of AMPM Designs. The rest of the Issue is dedicated to public architecture. Each project that we have featured in this Issue gives us valuable learnings in design. How the architecture of the space should co-exist with nature, and have a lasting impact on the user, the inhabitant, and its context.

In our cover feature, we talk to architect Arun Sharma, Founder, Atrey Associates about balancing luxury and sustainability. It’s a difficult balance to achieve. But through his sculptural creations, Arun finds a way to strike the right balance. The rest of the Issue is dedicated to retail and commercial spaces. There’s a marked difference in designing residential spaces and commercial spaces. In residential spaces one knows exactly whom you are designing for, which certainly is not the case in commercial and retail spaces. One has to design keeping in mind different demographics and multiple functions. We take you to some of the most interesting, playful, thoughtful spaces. It’s an interesting mix…tell us what you think.

This Issue is dedicated to spaces, concepts and plans that address the need to change. Innovation is not just about technology, innovation is about finding the best solution with respect to the situation, and with the means available. Going back to what Vinu Daniel, who adheres to the Gandhian philosophy of building within five-mile radius, says,“Unfortunately when I looked within my five-mile radius, all I found was waste. And so I started building with waste.” In this Issue, we feature architects who have made a difference with their innovative thinking, and spaces that are prototypes for the future.

In this Issue, our Guest Editor, Ar. Sourabh Gupta brings together interviews, opinion pieces, critiques and commentaries by some of the most respected names in the industry. In his insightful column, Architect Madhav Raman, Founder, Anagram Architects comments on the state of architecture in India and presents some stark realities. Designer Mridu Sahai Patnaik, Co-founder, The Design Village, in her interview with Chirstoph Felger, Partner, David Chipperfield Architects gives us an insight into the workings of one of the largest, most acclaimed architectural firms globally. Architect Akansha A Thapa takes us to the Lego Museum, while architect Mudita Pasari talks about architectural pedagogy.

In this Issue, we shine the spotlight on architecture and design in the hospitality segment. From Ariane Thakore Ginwala’s rustic approach, Minnie Bhatt’s eclectic style, Rudraksh Charan’s ode to the context, to Sanchit Arora’s bold, contemporary narrative, we bring to you, spaces that are conceptualised for the people.  On our cover is interior designer Amit Portal, Founder, IPIPL - a multidisciplinary design firm based in Mumbai. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Porwal has now established his distinct approach to design — that of relaxed sophistication.

In this Issue, we take you to some of the most opulently designed spaces by Ajay Arya, Abhigyan Neogi, Asha Sairam, Shivani Gupta & Ayush Mittal and Vihar Fadia. Each space comes with its own connotation of luxury — layered, subtle, plush, sophisticated — but each with its own signature style. The Indian Design identity is changing, evolving.

Talking about spaces of learning, the pandemic undoubtedly proved the importance of human interaction and spaces that facilitated interactive learning. Apart from fostering a sense of ownership, design for learning spaces should also encourage collaboration, facilitate interaction, and contribute to the overall development of the student.

This Issue, we focus on the architecture of housing — affordable housing, residential townships, mixed-use developments — the entire gamut. From Manglam Maplewoods, a luxury farmhouse project in Jaipur to a mixed-use development by MVRDV, the Issue brings to you some of the most judiciously planned, and thoughtfully designed projects in the world. As usual, we have our edit of gorgeous homes.

In this Issue we’ve tried to bring to the various interpretations of luxury when it comes to spaces, more specifically residences. The luxury of space, the inimitable feeling of being close to nature, the ease that comes with technology, the feeling of decadence, the most exquisite designs — the residences we feature this Issue each comes with a different meaning of luxury. Browse through these stunning spaces by Rahul Mistri, Neelam Kothari, Apoorva Shroff and Sourabh Gupta. In the cover feature, we get candid with Hyderabad-based Aamir and Hameeda Sharma who have reinvented the notion of luxury.

This issue of Architecture+Design talks about architecture for the people. In our cover feature, Architect Hafeez Contractor engages in a conversation with Architect Akshat Bhatt. The conversation  touches upon the issues of housing, public infrastructure, slum redevelopment, transportation and climate change in general. Some important questions are asked, some important issues are raised. We think it's just the start of a conversation. We also take you to about some really thoughtfully-designed projects by OMA, Spark and Studio Lotus.

This issue, we bring to you some of the most gorgeously designed spaces — homes, offices, studios, museums — spaces that shock you, intrigue you, make you swoon with their breathtaking beauty. Yet spaces that are thoughtfully designed to give you an experience that lasts with you forever. Noorein Kapoor’s artful exploration with materials and colours, Aamir and Hameeda’s dramatic and sculptural approach to design, and Sophie Dries’ subtle nuances, the issue is a celebration of spaces that are designed to welcome you.
