Thanks Matter for this in-depth interview of our team Social Design Collaborative talking about our process & studio culture: thinkmatter.in/2024/10/24/pra… "Design is a conversation for us... We don't have a client & architect relationship – it's more of a shared ownership model"

What role can architectural design play in improving quality of education & day care for children? How can the walls, floor, windows become educational tools for learning & play? Udaan #anganwadi is a pilot classroom designed to co-locate anganwadis in govt schools in India.

Like Goa’s balcãos welcome friends at the entrance of their homes, this SerendipityArtsFestival invites you through our project ‘Traveling Balcãos’ with urbz Public space artworks in the form of mobile balcãos will move around Panjim on 10th, 11th & 12th Dec. Join us to participate!

"It took 42 years before a black architect was awarded the Pritzker Prize. There have only been six women so far who have been awarded the prize since it was first instituted in 1979" - Swati Janu Thanks for the feature Wallpaper* on our practice wallpaper.com/architecture/i…

We took around mobile versions of the traditional balcaos, across Panjim main market, the bus stand and the promenade by the sea, as a spontaneous way of creating conversations. The 'Traveling Balcaos' have now found a permanent home at the community libraries of Bookworm Trust :)

What is art about if not public engagement? We've always wanted to create artworks that people from all walks of life can play in, climb, sit on. So glad to do it in Jaipur at the public spaces of Jal Mahal & Albert Hall Museum for the Jaipur Art Week 2025. It's on till 12th Feb!

How can we retrofit small spaces into vibrant learning environments? Here’s a glimpse at our recently completed pilot creche with SEWA Bharat SEWA Delhi as part of a multi-year initiative to build better day care centres as community infrastructure in informal settlements.

Here’s an #opensource online learning module for university teachers on #countermapping as a bottom-up tool for participatory planning: gregoryrandolph.net/teaching#learn… co-created with Greg Randolph at Georgia Tech. Hope it can be helpful for students, architects, geographers, activists!

Glad that Social Design Collaborative has designed the first anganwadi-cum-creche in Delhi under the Palna scheme with WCD Delhi Mobile Creches Dr. Rashmi Singh. Inaugurated by Delhi CM CMO Delhi & Union Minister Ministry of WCD who announced the development of 502 such centres across Delhi.

Design & construction is just half of our work. The other half is its dissemination at different levels.
