Author: URBANSCAPE ARCHITECTS

Ever since we began architecture, we had an abhorrence to conventional architecture. There was something about the atmosphere of redundancy, routine and so called professionalism, that made us allergic to the on going work around. Our projects have developed in unexpected directions through a practice which does not mimic existing procedures and norms but attempts to break through the excitement, adventure and mystery of architecture. Our modernist compositions, often characterized by varied materials and forms and technical support makes our work speak……………….though hard to say that we define a style, a language yet. Some of our works even reflect less of an architectural style or a personal expression, they are often attempts to reflect the actual cultural circumstances that produce them.
