Future Forms — The Vertical Raga
Exploring how Bharat’s ancient knowledge systems can shape the architecture of tomorrow.
“When knowledge becomes foundation, form finds its spirit.”

When the Government of Gujarat announced that buildings could now rise up to seventy floors, a quiet question emerged within us —
“What would such a high tower be, if envisioned the Muziteccture way?”
This question became the seed of Future Forms — a search for how height, the most visible expression of modern architecture, could also embody the invisible harmony of raga.
The exploration led to unexpected revelations — among them, a beautiful speculation:
that perhaps the tessellations of ancient temple architecture were themselves the spatial manifestations of musical principles — the geometry of ragas rendered in stone.
Through this inquiry, we began to see how Bharat’s indigenous knowledge systems — from the Vedic sciences and Sangeet Shastra to Vastu and Jyotisha — hold immense potential to enrich the global design discourse, not by imitation, but through conscious reinterpretation.
The intent is not to create height as an exhibition of scale, but as a vertical hymn — where form ascends with awareness, and architecture becomes a prayer of proportion.
Future Forms thus seeks to understand how the ancient wisdom of sound, rhythm, and resonance can find new expression in the skylines of tomorrow —
where every elevation may still whisper of the earth it rises from,
and every structure may carry within it the soul of Bharat.
