Philosophy

We believe in evolving contextual solutions that address local as well as global issues of culture, history, ecology, environment and togetherness of societies with a sense of freedom of consciousness. No civilization or culture is static; hence neither architecture nor the field of its reference can be termed static. The dialectic between the practice and experience of the world, events and intuition leads to defining the dynamics of architecture from time to time.

Architecture takes place in six categories of ecologically oriented, peoples', need based, religion related, saleable, and art. Architectural expression varies in decoding these categories in a given time and space. Our work try and address the trinity of traditions in architecture made of philosophical, visual and craft-traditions.

As the only experiential art, architecture demands wanderings in a space. This joy of wandering leads to appreciating and comprehending space in any place and societies.

Our work makes an attempt to decode the enigmatic relationship of the personal and the universal.
