Designing for Modern India

In this volume, the design practioners at INI Design Studio talk about their vision – a society that develops sustainably in harmony with its surroundings, tackling environmental challenges as they emerge. Through a comprehensive overview of 68 Indian and international projects from both commercial and educational institutions, this book demonstrates the firm’s collective inner sensibility that guides their design in a world where dynamics are rapidly changing. Their work in the residential, interiors, hospitality and healthcare domains prove their ability to leverage technological advances to create buildings and spaces that can be thought of as living entities. Their landscape and urban planning projects reveal their approach to sustainability as a deliverable practical outcome at every stage of the project, often at no additional costs to the client. The firm’s interdisciplinary and collaborative practices are revealed in their civic government and transport projects, while their emphasis on architecture as social art informs their work on recreational centers like sport stadiums.

This illuminating volume, illustrated with maps, plans and photographs, marks yet another milestone in INI Design Studio’s evolution as a leading player in the critical dialogue for design awareness in India.
