Vinod Residence, designed by Murali Architects, has a rustic yet futuristic parametric façade that brings out the bricks’ dynamic side. They unveil its frozen state in a new dimension; parallelly, its sturdiness is also set out by its genuine exposed skin. It is not just the façade that speaks out for itself, but also the well-ventilated interiors, where the play of light creates statements in every face of the inner brick walls. It is a balanced mix of contemporary and traditional architecture, conceiving new values that respond to regionalism and a new future.

Comfort Town, designed by Archimatika, is a housing project with a 40-hectare explosion of rainbow-colored concrete on the ground below. Children’s building blocks inspire Comfort Town’s 180 low-rise apartment buildings, a playful response to the sprawling 1950s and 60s communist-era housing that encircles them. The focus was on three techniques: silhouette: different turns and heights of dual-pitch roofs; window: using the French balcony and the window shifting system to avoid monotonous rows; color: the first daring color solution for a residential neighborhood in the country.

‘Yeh inth patharon ka ghar’ is the second article of the series ‘Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai’. This series of blog articles is centered around everyday life in traditional Indian homes. Using clues from Bollywood songs, regional poetry, TV advertisements and folk culture, the articles aim to highlight the various associations that people have with their homes, their neighbourhood and the city. What kinds of spaces and elements constituted traditional Indian homes before the living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen? What were these spaces called? What purposes did they serve? What meanings and values were associated with them? How was the home perceived in relation to the neighbourhood and the city? The tone of the articles is reflective and borrows from the authors’ personal experiences.

A home for the Guptas, designed by Raghuveer Kathpalia, is an inquiry into what it means to settle, one of the many ways to do that. It began with how one will perceive the site’s landscape once occupied and conditioned. The clients, in their brief, wanted a house that would change their relationship with the outdoors. In some ways, the project disaggregates their current home in a fairly dense urban setting. The layers of verandahs courtyards and the possibility to connect and disconnect all of these by the movement of the doors enable this phenomenon.

Raghuveer Kathpalia is a practicing architect with an ideation of lived experience of space, of how one sees architecture within the built environment. They happen everywhere in the city through a process of accretion and negotiation of adjacency. A home is what makes the city happen, it is that which holds all settlements. That is why my present pre-occupation is about settling in a landscape. Such as how one experiences a piece of land once it has been occupied vis a vis how one did before occupation.

In addition, this house still provides spatial distance on the side and the back of the house (backyard) to facilitate air circulation and maximize natural lighting. A basic principle of architectural design in the tropics in addressing the current pandemic issue.
