| book description |
This publication contains a compilation of works of notable Indian practice Studio Archohm, spanning their 25-year journey of practice. As torchbearers of contemporary Indian architecture, it depicts how the studio evolved into a responsible, responsive stakeholder in nationbuilding, actively initiating and realising large-scale urban, infrastructure and civic projects. It also touches upon the experimentation the studio could undertake in the private realm while delivering these scales to the public. Moreover, Archohm’s portfolio does not end at urban and architectural projects but goes beyond, into the realm of design research, design thinking, experience design, ]city branding and education. The projects are a testimony to multidisciplinary explorations, universal curiosity and connecting the dots across a range of scales, typologies, mediums, programs and domains in the public and private realms. From a cobble to a city, from tourism master plans to rejuvenation of old cities, from building cultural icons, and educational institutions to developing their pedagogies, building buildings, cities and their identities alike. projects of Archohm aim to unlock the potential of a space and thereby impact and inspire the communities and stakeholders involved. The publication also explains how architecture, despite the constraints of time, energy and clients, must attempt to be deeply rooted in theoretical understandings, indigenous practices and global perspectives. Works of the studio are evocative of an Indian identity reimagined in contemporary thinking and doing.
