An interactive exploration of the Urbs Indis Library & Garden, the studio's first built project.

Robert shares about the values behind the making of the space, as well as the power of Architecture to change our lives.

Bombay Imagined

Beginning in 1670, Bombay Imagined: An Illustrated History of the Unbuilt City tells the story of 201 unrealised urban visions — aspirations of an evolved metropolis boasting everything from humane housing and expanded parks to ambitious sanitation systems and more.

This past weekend we welcomed @offline_members for the first ever @urbsindislibrary Walkthrough without any architects in attendance.

We had enormous fun, nobody left early and everyone departed with a smile on their face! I can’t help but feel that architecture, which is the shaping of our relationship with the 5 elements, is like a language that we all know, but do not use often. Yet, when we hear the language spoken, we recognize it immediately, and it is beautiful.

If you would like to join a future Walkthrough, please visit our website www.urbsindis.com for upcoming dates (they happen once a month). Or, if you are a group of 10 or more, feel free to get in touch directly to schedule an independent visit.

Thanks again to @offline_members for trusting us with your Saturday morning!

It was pure joy welcoming Mitali Vadher @mitalivadher at the Urbs Indis Library last week.

I love meeting people who love cities, and Mitali is one such individual! She is doing some really unique research around urban environments across India.

Thanks for visiting Mitali!

It was a joy to welcome students from the @dgcoa DG College of Architecture at the Urbs Indis Library yesterday.

I always begin walks by introducing myself, which includes mentioning that I am an introvert, and then asking if there are any others in our midst. As usual, I asked the same question yesterday, and from the abyss of silence that followed someone said, "Everyone here is an introvert."

How wonderful!

Thanks to the entire group for making the trek from Malappuram, Kerala, and for choosing to spend some of your time in Bangalore with us. We are honoured. And never ever forget, no matter what happens, "Architecture can change our lives."

A journal entry that is three years old today. From the early days of making the @urbsindislibrary.

My favourite line (the third sentence) reads: "Every millimeter counts"

In a world that is often defined by noise and bigness, I love the idea of quietly celebrating the millimeter. The resolve of creating a world that is intimate and precise.
