Ahmedabad, Gujarat  |  2022

The 2023 edition of the Ahmedabad Collective emphasizes on young practices as an effort to collate new perspectives and visions from practices that are and will have a profound impact on the future of design in Ahmedabad. The Collective is a platform for celebrating design in its diversity, locally and globally. 

Working among colliding trajectories, local architecture practices must be structured to adapt quickly and deftly to the diversity of contexts within which we work. The studio practise is mapped across varied contexts, rural-outskirts-periphery-urban, and cross linked by positions of building form, material, and process. The resulting complex grid poses the questions of disciplinary boundaries and transgressions of accepted modes of knowledge production through banduksmithstudio work.
