APLUSR Architects had moulded into a more diversified practice across the Pandemic by including new departments of work and with international candidates being added to the team. The studio expands into different revenue streams for a rejuvenated resumption post the pandemic lulls.
Micro Houses aren’t a new thing in India, can be found in many dense urban settlements across big cities and smaller towns. Generally the owners of these houses are from socially, economically weaker backgrounds with very limited resources, knowledge and funds to construct houses that really fulfils their aspirations of a dream house. Moreover these settlements generally lack municipal building norms, infrastructures and facilities that further makes living in these settlements difficult. – THE DESIGN ROUTE
Planned as an international science hub that would transform scientific research and education in India, the design of the TIFR-ICTS campus reveals an innate understanding of a high-tech institution in how it accommodates large open grounds for collaboration while providing spaces that foster focused scientific studies. – Venkataramanan Associates
The team at Art and Architecture is focused on the core skills of architecture to keep the design process enlivened and simplified. The team kept themselves inspired and refreshed with enjoyable activities through the lockdown such as photo documentation of their favourite city parts, artwork, documenting personal and studio work and more. The lockdown was an opportunity to explore opportunities for other creative activities.
Aanai Studio’s services are focused on furniture, interior design and architecture, inspired by indigenous craftsmanship, sustainable materials, and design ingenuity for built interiors. The pandemic has provided an opportunity to rethink the studio’s research and development, separate personal and work life, both adding to their work fluency. This gives them time to pursue other personal interests too, much needed in today’s work-from-home scenario.
A fluid team structure that invokes design ideas from all, with a hierarchy only to guide it, was scattered. The team experienced a shift towards minimal ways of life, which now inspires their practice too.
Stay inspired. Curious.
