Each work has its own unique contextual framework. Our design process is based on making enquiries into the contextual framework and the findings that arise out of it. We believe that our work should be relevant to the contexts in which it occurs and adhere to the core concepts that have become a part of our ideological basis over the past several decades.

The relevance of each work to its contexts and the symbolic meaning embedded in it are more significant to us than the perceptible image.

Along with considerations of the relationship between a building and it's context, our design process has to address consideration of the relationships that evolve between the inhabitants and the built environment.

When people dwell in space, there is a physiological and psychological participation. The built environment needs to provide favourable, comfortable and pleasurable conditions for dwelling in it. Through our design process, we attempt to create such a set of conditions that lead to the built environment being conducive to the well-being of the people who inhabit it.

We consider sustainability to be an imperative in built environment design. It is an intrinsic aspect of our design thinking. Each work commences with careful consideration of the climatic conditions at the location of the building and how it would influence the design.

Our design process allows flexibility. While adaptations of traditional arts & crafts and construction methods from vernacular architecture & traditional building will be seen in some of our works, use of advanced materials and emerging technologies from the aerospace industry will be seen in others.

Materials & methods of construction and the manner in which they are adapted in a particular work are crucial in attaining the tangible design objectives that are set for it.

Each work (whether built or unbuilt) is the result of the design process that it advances through and the process by itself is unique for each work.

At UDC, the process of design progresses in the form of iterative explorations until the compound set of objectives are met with and till the process culminates into a design, which we reckon to be appropriate in its case.
