Marble House, designed by Openbox Architects and Openbox Group, intertwines architecture, interior, and landscape in the form of marble sculpture. The square-shaped form surrounds an open courtyard in the center, allowing natural light and ventilation to reach all remotest corners. The play of materials, space and forms flows seamlessly inside-out, and outside-in making strong connections between architecture, landscape and interior.
Dogtrot, designed by CLB, is a residence combining simplicity with interest referencing its agrarian surroundings and is based on the concept of a dogtrot barn, two separate but connected forms. This modern take on the barn lends energy and opens up the interiors toward the primary views. Throughout, materiality is minimal. Drama is a constant factor — in the sense of space created by the width and span of the connector roof.
CLB is an architecture and interior design practice with a wide variety of projects including residences, community facilities, resorts, and mixed-use buildings. The practice seamlessly integrates a project’s architectural forms and materials with the interior furnishings, lighting and artwork. The projects are recognizable: thoughtful, innovative, and refined in their details. Each endeavor is guided with the firm’s philosophy in mind – inspired by place and has resulted in projects across the United States.

Story of three courts residence, designed by Collage Architecture Studio, is a perfect amalgamation between the built and naturally existing. The design of this residence aims at getting rid of the solemn and stereotyped impression of a traditional Vastu defined home, where the nine grids curb the free flowing creativity of design. Instead it focuses primarily on creating an open and active living atmosphere where the young family can grow into and flourish.Projecting cubes, double height spaces, courtyards amidst the delicate landscaping are complementary elements used in conjunction with the material palette.
In this session of the workshop – Advanced Computational Design, participants learnt basic modelling in Revit using Rhino and grasshopper as BIM tools.
This workshop aims to introduce Grasshopper as a Design Driver, where as a Designer you can set up a larger logic and let grasshopper design for you. This workshop will cover the full workflow for the same where the participant will start with the learning of python and then various other concepts of A.I. After which, they will create a script that uses A.I algorithms for automating various processes in design.
TClínica De Odontologia, designed by the architectural firm spbr arquitetos, houses two professional activities: clinic and laboratory. The building’s implantation follows the height gauge of the neighboring houses and is aligned on the fronts of the land towards the streets. This gives independence to the construction, with a different feature from the neighborhood and, at the same time, shapes the court, a striking unit of the orthogonal grid of streets and avenues of the projected city.
Kowdiar villa, designed by Cadence Architects, articulates a new experience in the courtyard by having a large garden and a large water body. The juxtaposition of the water body and the garden along with central spine of the house helps organize the rest of the program. The formal articulation of the house has a minimalistic sensibility to it. Large plane surfaces enclose generous spatial volumes that overlook internal and external gardens.
Cadence is a collaborative architecture practice with projects ranging from bespoke dwellings to university projects in scale. The studio’s philosophy hinges on conceiving design methodologies that transcend the production of the obvious and the familiar, to create more pleasurable and sensorial experiences through our built environment. They seek delight through architecture and are interested in conceiving affective spaces that stage and celebrate life.
In this session of the workshop – Advanced Computational Design, participants learnt scripting in Python and understood fundamentals of Machine Learning.
With 131 Registrations and an enthralling and spellbinding set of proposals, the winners of the Competition “CANNES TEMPORARY CINEMA” have been announced.
As the name suggests, this workshop aims to introduce Grasshopper as a design assistant. The workshop starts by learning various plugins like Lunchbox, Weaverbird, Ladybug, Etc. These plugins help in generating algorithms and evaluating them. In the second half of the workshop, participants will be working with Genetic algorithms using the plugin Octopus.
Pakkret House, designed by Archimontage Design Fields Sophisticated, serves as a backdrop and the terracotta-tile wall illuminates the story of time passing. The solution is to build a gigantic wall shading that rises to the roof level and almost covers the width of the entire house. Covered by brownish-orange terracotta tiles, the wall stands high to support a translucent roofing panel where many small lights strung in rows like waves.
REDD Premium Self Storage, designed by Openbox Architects and Openbox Group, acts as a large signage, visible to inbound and outbound traffic. This flagship facility has to be much more than just functional. The external design boldly tells stories that can be perceived by passing drivers at a glance. The site perception presents a composition of stacked cardboard boxes, layered with transparent wrapping material, giving a hint of what’s inside.
Dilli Haat, designed by archohm, is a conversation between the past and present while acknowledging traditions and adapting contemporization. The idea was to give them a home for playful music and give these homes a place to play with music. This was the underlying layer that bonded the overall program of formal and informal shops to sell craft sand celebrate culture; to inject a new life into this part of Delhi and be its rhythmic. Fundamentally, all Dilli Haats need to have a common ground of bringing artisans to interface with city dwellers.
In this session of the workshop – Advanced Computational Design, participants learnt scripting in python to generate the visual graphs of the data generated from the fitness criteria for the design generated in grasshopper.
Barefoot Organics, designed by Studio 4000, is a shop for organic foods conceived by setting black & white shelves in a circular framework. This is done in different combinations to have a variety of display units- some aligning with the side walls, others placed along its central axis. Shelves of adjacent units are staggered in elevation to break continues horizontal lines, against which the vertical circular teak posts are seen repeating at regular interval. Overall, this compositional idea characterizes the design & extends to that of supporting furniture elements like reception desk, internal partitions as well as the main facade.
This is an introductory workshop to Rhino and Grasshopper. This workshop aims to introduce participants to the world of computational design through Rhino and Grasshopper. Once the basics of Grasshopper (barebones) and Rhino are covered, few plugins like OpenNest, Kangaroo 2, and Ekl will be introduced. These plugins will increase the potential of what we can do with both the software.
Verandah House, designed by Vipul Patel Architects, is a quintessential contemporary house with strict architectural language. his house is a right balance between the inner and outer space; wherein the constructed structure stands in equality with the landscaped area. The L-formation architectural planning is a result of the sun path and directions. The L-plan was done so that most of the areas open up towards North, which works best for the Indian climate.
Vipul Patel Architects (VPA) is a multidisciplinary architecture and design firm established by Vipul Patel in Ahmedabad, India. VPA has commendably completed various projects in the field of architecture, interior designing, landscape designing and product designing. Aesthetics and practicality are at par in all our works.
