BIM- From Design to Execution

by Vami Koticha and Sameep Padora

The work by sP+a strikes the perfect balance through sensitive designs, community participation, and deployment of technology. Vami, Aparna and Sameep are the principal architects of sP+a, a Mumbai-based architecture studio engaged in projects of multiple scales, all framed within a larger interest in history and typological research. The studio structure actively engages with research, collaborations and collective models of practice not as isolated individual formats but as symbiotic streams feeding into each other. They advocate this hybrid model as an alternative to the traditional architectural practice, believing that this enables them to respond to the specificity of the local by evolving methodologies of extreme subjectivity. Join this lecture to get a peek into their practice.
