A SENSITIVE CURATION

Guided by the brief to design a sustainable campus for a hospitality school, Morphogenesis devised an architectural plan that actively engaged with the thriving ecoscape of the site

Sonali and Manit Rastogi, along with Alok Decruz, of Morphogenesis, interpreted the brief for a hospitality school in Faridabad by creating a thoughtful and evocative design that responds and works with its surroundings.

"The plan focused on preserving and integrating an existing cluster of neem trees abutting the site's northern edge. The building engages with these clusters by moving back and forth as required, resulting in multiple landscaped courtyards and shaded areas."

"One of the critical aspects of the project was the zero tree-cutting goal. We achieved this through an optimised plan of permissible built volume with a 100 per cent naturally-ventilated central spine."
