Kulkarni Residence, Barwani, by Bandhaan

Vibrant, earthy and connected to nature- this home in Barwani is the perfect example of the new generation of mid-rise, mid-size, budget-friendly homes that are coming up!

Incorporating local tribal Gond art of M.P. along with a range of natural finishes- Indian stone flooring with inlay work, teakwood and brick- highlight the spaces beautifully.

Each room has access to an outdoor space, be it the family garden or a private terrace and are all naturally ventilated. The house has a sculptural form with terraces stepping down to allow for views and greenery to creep in.

The compound wall is equally sculptural- incorporating a mix of planters and walls at varying heights. The interior and exterior form a symbiotic relationship to contemporary living rooted in nature.

Architecture, Power, and the Poor | “As a profession, architecture lacks moral position and has become complicit in the neoliberal dispossession of the poor.”—Vivek Rawal

Vivek Rawal argues that architecture—as a profession—is structurally aligned with political and economic power rather than social justice. He critiques how architectural education and practice prioritise developers and real estate over communities, turning housing into a market commodity. Even movements like sustainability and participation, he says, often become tools for elite consumption rather than genuine empowerment. True moral reform, according to Rawal, would mean architects relinquishing control and enabling community-led design and housing decisions.
