Ashish Ganju and A.G.K. Menon on the problem with the architecture profession

Munishwarnath Ashish Ganju

The architectural profession has approached a crossroads in its development in India, and the direction it now chooses will determine both its effectiveness in serving society and the validity of its future existence. In this respect, the profession must take the initiative in considering the relevant
factors concerning its future options, rather than have them forced upon it through necessity or expediency. These factors have either been ignored or have only been considered in a haphazard and piecemeal manner for too long and, thus, they have had no perceptible impact on the profession to date. – Ashish Ganju, A.G.K. Menon

Tulum – Jungle Rooftop Restaurant, at Chandigarh, by Loop Design Studio

Loop Design Studio

Tulum is an experimental paradox in the brutalist context of Chandigarh. It is a rooftop restaurant that offers panoramic views of the city skyline. Drawing its inspiration from the Mexican getaway destination by the same name, Tulum is curated as a superfluous, green and vernacular oasis. The design reflects a natural and an earthy undertone that comes together in a systematic fashion using natural stone, bamboo, terrazzo, wood, cane, plaster and greens. – Loop Design Studio
