ITC Green Centre, Kolkata wins the Chicago Athenaeum’s Green Good Design Award 2026.

A 17-acre mixed-use campus in Rajarhat, Kolkata, conceived as an urban anchor with IT and corporate offices, a hotel, knowledge centre, and residential towers.

Rooted in Bengal’s climate and cultural context, the campus is oriented 18° off the east-west axis to reduce solar exposure by about 25%, while shaded courts, southern breezes, and a protected pedestrian spine lower perceived temperatures by up to 5°C.

High-performance office floors achieve over 85% space efficiency, with 17 m deep floor plates and about 90% naturally daylit workspaces. Radiant cooling, passive design strategies, and an energy target of 43 kWh/sq m/yr support its IGBC Platinum pre-certification.

A climate-responsive, culturally rooted urban campus where optimisation, sustainability, liveability, and Bengal’s identity come together at scale.

Designed for people, climate, and everyday comfort

The heart of the campus is a 300 m pedestrian spine, shaded, walkable, and protected from sun and rain. Vehicles are restricted to the periphery, allowing the central axis to prioritise people.

Verandahs connect shaded courts, sports areas, and congregation spaces so that 10,000 daily users can move, pause, and interact comfortably throughout the year. This spine functions as both circulation and community space.

Dense planting, water elements, and built shading reduce perceived temperatures by 5 to 7°C, creating microclimatic comfort through design rather than mechanical systems.

Material choices such as terracotta, bamboo, and handwoven textiles bring tactile warmth and connect everyday spaces to local craft traditions.

Liveability here is a spatial system that supports comfort, interaction, and wellbeing at every scale.

The ITC Campus hosts the world’s largest urban art façade, transforming architecture into a cultural narrative. The east and west façades are etched with motifs of rivers, boats, tea gardens, and festivals, reflecting everyday life in Bengal.

Conceptualised through hand-drawn contributions from local artists and students, these narratives were translated into built form by artisans using a blend of digital milling and hand chiselling.

The campus also draws from Bengal’s six seasons. Each court, landscape element, and façade expression reflects seasonal shifts, from monsoon rivers and boats to spring festivals and tea gardens. This narrative connects open spaces, movement corridors, and built form into a continuous experiential journey.

Across façades, streets, and interiors, the campus becomes both workplace and cultural archive, where art is embedded into daily life.

Systems designed for performance and longevity

At the ITC Campus, optimisation is embedded in spatial and structural logic. A regular 8.5 m grid enables highly efficient floor plates with about 85% usability. Shallow depths of 17 m ensure daylight reaches deep into workspaces.

Water systems are designed for circular use, reducing freshwater demand by 75% for a population of 10,000.

Below ground, parking is planned at 32 sq m per car, saving more than 10,000 sq m of built area. Structurally, the stepped pyramidal form distributes seismic forces efficiently, while steel consumption is optimised to about 55 kg per sq m, a 15% reduction from standard practice.

Optimisation here is a calibrated framework that supports flexibility, resilience, and long-term performance.

Climate intelligence at an urban scale

Sustainability at the ITC Campus begins with climate-responsive planning. Each building is rotated 18° off the east–west axis, reducing solar gain by about 25% while capturing prevailing southern breezes through shaded courtyards.

Over 90% of workspaces receive daylight, reducing dependence on artificial lighting. High-performance systems, including radiant cooling and efficient HVAC, achieve about 550 sq ft per TR, saving nearly 1,000 TR across the campus.

Annual energy consumption is 43 kWh per sq m, nearly 50% lower than conventional benchmarks, conserving 18,000 MWh and close to 2 million dollars annually. These strategies prevent 15,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year, equivalent to 60,000 trees.

Designed to IGBC Platinum standards, the campus maintains an indoor air quality index below 30. Sustainability here is measurable, performative, and experienced daily.

There is a particular honesty to a building before it is complete.

Before the finishes arrive, the site reveals architecture in its most direct form: concrete lines, exposed slabs, structural grids, service runs, cranes, scaffolds, and the sequence of work that holds everything together.

At this stage, design is no longer a drawing on a desk. It is scale, sequence, coordination, and consequence. Every column line, opening, and junction becomes a point of verification, where intent is tested against ex*****on.

Site visits allow teams to resolve details before they disappear behind layers, understand the order of assembly, and protect the design through every stage of construction.

There is beauty here, not in completion, but in becoming: in the blue of the safety nets against the sky, in the reflections of wet concrete, in the geometry of unfinished floors, and in the collective effort of people shaping space one decision at a time.

A glimpse from the field, where architecture is measured, questioned, refined, and steadily made real.

Rooted in the coastal context of Mumbai’s Juhu Vile Parle precinct, this multigenerational residence is envisioned as a vertical family home shaped by privacy, connection and climate.

Comprising four independent duplex residences within a 32 m envelope, the design balances individual autonomy with shared spaces for gathering, wellness and recreation. Landscaped terraces, generous indoor outdoor spaces and a layered sectional arrangement allow family life to unfold across multiple levels while remaining closely connected to nature.

Responding to the site’s coastal climate, the architecture brings together expansive glazing, shaded edges, vertical screens and planted terraces to filter light, encourage cross ventilation and open the home towards sea views. The result is a refined urban residence where landscape, climate and contemporary multigenerational living come together with quiet sophistication.

Surat Diamond Bourse is more than the world’s largest office building. It is an urban-scale response to community, climate, commerce, and decentralised growth. Located in Surat, where over 92% of the world’s diamonds are cut, the 7.1 million sq. ft. bourse brings 67,000 professionals and 4,700 offices together under one roof, reducing dependence on long commutes to Mumbai while strengthening Surat’s position as a global diamond capital.

Designed as a “city within a city,” the project reimagines the conventional office typology through a central circulation spine, nine north-south oriented office blocks, shaded courtyards, naturally ventilated community areas, and daylit work environments. The spine enables efficient movement across a high-security trading ecosystem, while the courtyards and shared spaces support the collaborative culture of Surat’s diamond community.

With passive cooling, radiant cooling, solar-powered common areas, and 75% daylit workspaces, the project achieves nearly 50% lower energy consumption than conventional green benchmarks. Built by the community, for the community, Surat Diamond Bourse reflects how architecture can improve quality of life, enable livelihoods, and catalyse regional growth. At Morphogenesis, we design to solve for people, place, performance, and a more resilient future.

From drawing board to built form, this studies the spatial and structural logic of a mixed use development through section, façade exploration and architectural visualisation.

It traces the relationship between tower and podium, vertical circulation and floor plates, parking levels and the public interface, showing how each component contributes to a coherent urban response. The sectional drawing clarifies the internal organisation of the building, while the rendered view communicates its presence within the city, with a glazed tower rising above an articulated podium and landscaped edge.

More than a representation of form, it reflects the iterative nature of design thinking. Core checks, façade studies and sectional analysis become tools to understand proportion, movement, structure and context. At Morphogenesis, we design to solve, using drawing and visual inquiry to translate complexity into architecture that is precise, purposeful and responsive to the city.

Architecture is a continuous dialogue between idea and built form, where early sketches evolve into spatial realities shaped by context, craft, and climate.

Set within the steep contours of Kasauli, the Woodside masterplan translates sectional sketches into a cascading built form, with cottages stepping along the terrain to preserve views, vegetation, and the natural gradient of the land.

This transition from drawing to dwelling continues in Artisan House, where conceptual striations and sectional studies materialise into a layered home, each band of space articulated through craft, material, and light to support multigenerational living.

At the YWCA Campus, diagrammatic ideas of courtyards, shaded volumes, and passive cooling systems are translated into a cohesive built environment, creating secure, climate-responsive spaces that support community and learning.

In Goa, the Taj Yellow House reflects a different kind of transformation, where archival understanding and design intent guide the careful restoration and extension of a historic villa into a contemporary hospitality experience.

Across these projects, the journey from sketch to structure is iterative and grounded in context, refined through design thinking, and realised through material and craft.

Landscape is where architecture begins to breathe.

It is the shaded courtyard that lowers ambient temperatures. The planted edge that softens density. The water body that moderates microclimate. The terrace, amphitheatre, arrival court, campus green, and urban pause that make built environments more human, resilient, and rooted.

This World Landscape Architecture Week, we look at landscape not as an aesthetic layer, but as an active design system, one that shapes comfort, movement, ecology, community, and long-term environmental performance.

Across scales and typologies, Morphogenesis’ approach to landscape is driven by context: climate, culture, materiality, biodiversity, water, and the everyday patterns of people who inhabit these spaces. Our landscapes are designed to perform as much as they are designed to be experienced.

Because meaningful landscape architecture does more than beautify a place. It restores balance, creates belonging, and builds resilience into the future of our cities.

At Morphogenesis, we design to solve, integrating landscape as a catalyst for climate responsiveness, human well-being, and regenerative urban futures.
