Committing to an unknown material and technique was made easy for our client by converting a mock-up into a functional space “Gaushala” which they could experience first-hand.

This eased the decision-making process and boosted the client’s confidence to accept the material for a project with conviction.

Some conversations stay with you long after they end.

Today, a conversation with Ar. Prof. Neelkanth Chhaya, former Dean, Faculty of Architecture, CEPT University, began with architecture and wandered into something much larger — how we perceive life, community, music and ourselves.

We spoke about the Indian idea of being “not finite” — of abundance, openness and spaces that make room for people. About opinions, which may give us conclusions but not always certainty. And about music — rhythm, pauses, mass and void, structure and freedom — and how all of these can find their way into architecture.

He spoke about Hindustani and Carnatic classical music, and left us with a simple challenge: listen to jazz.

Perhaps the most valuable part of the conversation was not what we learned about architecture, but the questions it left us with about being human.

Some conversations don’t give you answers. They change the way you look at the questions.

In Khanapur, the response to the floods wasn't just relief — it was skill. Families were brought into the process of building their own homes, learning the craft of compressed stabilised earth block production from the ground up. Under the guidance of Mr. Tejas Kotak and So-Haath Hundred Hands, rebuilding became an act of empowerment.
