Studio Library
The studio library is conceived as an academic and reflective core of the architectural practice, a place where design is informed by reading, questioning, and long-term inquiry rather than quick references alone. Curated over time, the collection brings together foundational texts in architecture, urbanism, and design alongside writings on Indian spatial traditions, city histories, photography, art, philosophy, literature, and social thought. Rather than functioning as a showcase, the library is treated as a working resource: books are read, revisited, debated, and used to ground contemporary projects in deeper cultural, historical, and theoretical understanding. The presence of travel writing, visual culture, cartoons, and regional-language philosophy reflects the studio’s belief that architecture emerges from a broad intellectual and human context, not just from technical manuals.
The library is maintained as an ongoing academic endeavour, supporting research, internal discussions, and mentorship within the office. Students, researchers, and fellow practitioners may access the collection by request. To do so, visitors are invited to get in touch with the office through the contact form, after which access can be arranged based on availability and purpose of study.
