Case Design builds a school in India using the kind of architectural process that it believes is possible only in Mumbai—thoughtful, iterative, and craft-led.
Anne Geenen was an architecture student at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands when she first went to India. Having worked for a semester in the Ahmedabad office of Pritzker Prize winner B. V. Doshi, she found herself drawn to practicing in the country: “I was excited about the possibilities, the ways of working, the craftsmanship,” she says.
In 2014, after a stint at Studio Mumbai, Geenen joined architect Samuel Barclay at his fledgling Mumbai-based firm Case Design. Their first groundup, multi building project, whose second structure was completed last year and is being exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale, is Avasara Academy, a boarding school for girls on the outskirts of Pune, about 75 miles southeast of Mumbai.
