Edifice
Edifice - a firm for architecture & interior design consultancy was set up in 1987, by Pramod Balakrishnan a 1981 graduate from the school of architecture, Center for Environmental Planning & Technology, Ahmedabad.The firm has grown from a single individual to a team of 25 dedicated professionals involved in all facets of the process of building. From design to completion - from a house to a large campus - our attention, passion and commitment to our work is unparalleled.To us, at edifice, we concentrate on the process of architecture (from analysis of site, clients brief and aspirations, budgets, time constraints ?) and not on the end product. We feel that we as consultants are part of a larger involved team, and the end result of the process, the built form, takes on a more spiritual significance for us.Having said that, each project therefore is different within the same typology, and determines its own rule and sensibilities. What has been done successfully before, may not work as well in another similar scenario. Every project for us is therefore a journey into the unknown - exciting, stimulating, learning, unlearning, adapting, changing and growing. Work is therefore not rote.We are concerned about life styles, ways of seeing, ways of living - human behaviour matters more than function. Concerned about how our built environment caters and nurtures, to the individual, the group and community at large. The intangibles are as important as the tangibles.For us architecture is rooted in place, its culture and the aspirations of the society. Our buildings having to be mired in context and not alien implants from across the seas.We therefore, because of our ideology and the processes that we follow, do not have a style - a physical language to our work. The style is in the methodology, the result is in the built form not alien to the user, not requiring adaptation, not just brick and mortar. Relationships that are formed and lasting.
