Art And Architecture - Urbanism Is Here, It's Just Not Evenly Spread

Exploring urban continuity and transformation through his work, as both complement and counter to his experience building in contemporary India, Martand Khosla has developed, over time — through the material and substance of his questions for architecture and architects — a rich, robust artistic practice. He combines various forms of investigation and reflection, with his politics of work extending from the architect’s studio, through the library, the mind walking around the city, and holding conversations within his artist studio

- Kaiwan Mehta 

Architecture has been a practice in India, that has been desperately finding ground in the last thirty years. Many young architects developed new or existing studios somewhere in the 1990s — a time of great change and drastic developments in India’s cultural and political psyche that obviously also emerged and was reflected in the urban and nonurban landscape of the country. Architecture lost ground beneath its feet — the concepts and ideas, ethics and values, notions of design, dreams in style called Indian-ness, were blown away by the winds of change, the nature of economics, relationships of exchange, transaction over objects and human understanding of each other changed — as it has done often, but — with a speed and avatar that was influencing the living generations for times to come, whether they realised it, or not.
