Sisodia, MAD(E) IN MUMBAI, is an young international design practice involved
with Architecture, Urban Design, Interiors and landscapes. The studio draws
from diverse national and international exposure of its principals and their
involvement with design academia. It provides comprehensive design services in
the fields of Public institutions, high density housing, environmental
infrastructure, community design, redevelopment, heritage conservation, interior
architecture, landscapes and territorial planning.
MAD(E) IN MUMBAI takes its shape in madness
of Mumbai city. This crazy patchwork of ideas, experiences and materiality forms
repository and laboratory for the studio. It is a point of beginning for its
speculation and practice. The studio works closely with the chemistry of the
city to discover potential fields of operation.
The belief of the practice lies in looking
beyond the visible for the unseen and for absurdities of things and places.
Rather than confirming to good ways of building architecture/cities, it believes
in radical approaches that transcend the norms of design. Project challenges
such as site constraints, budgets, development regulations, policies and
politics are used as opportunities to speculate new urban forms. It is a
platform where ordinary and pragmatic reality is elevated to the heights of
poetry through imaginative speculation and craftsmanship.
