Dans ce numéro

This year’s commercial special is finally here. We bring you the best public buildings - from Mumbai airport’s new Terminal 2 by Skidmore, Owings & Merril LLP to 2015 Pritzker Winner Shigeru Ban’s ‘Cardboard Cathedral’. Also, find out how Planet 3 Studios feature a larger than life baya nest into the design of a real estate firm’s sales office or how Martand Khosla innovatively uses MDF panels in an office space. Our My View section continues the commercial theme with architects talking about their finest commercial work through their hand drawn sketches. In addition, we bring you interviews from Karan Grover on redefining the concept of modern architecture in the Indian context and Krsna Mehta on emphasising the importance of brand India on the global stage.

Flip through our Portfolio section, which showcases award-winning photographer Andrew Prokos’ salute to Niemeyer’s Brasilia. Our editor Preeti Singh writes about the architectural evolution of Berlin in Architecture On The Road, while guest columnists Robert Verrijt and Shefali Balwani of Architecture BRIO discuss design tools that integrate a structure into its surroundings. And finally, have a look at residences by ZZ Architects and Malik Architecture.
