archoforum
archoforum is an intense design workshop on live archohm projects twice a year.

the idea is to establish an international forum of architectural design and practice.

with established ties to india and archohm, members of the forum will have awareness of the indian context and familiarity with the studio. they will therefore be in a position to enrich the design process with a diversity of ideas stemming from diverse cultures to produce high quality design.

the suggested structure is for an internet based communication, with bi-annual meetings, sponsored by archohm,alternatively in europe and india. these meetings will be in the form of intense design workshops, brainstorming sessions where particular projects are tackled. each architect will undertake a single project from concept to completion and will be in direct communication with the implementation team in india. the meetings in india will be an opportunity for site visits and a deeper involvement in the building process.

the benefits for the foreign architects are to realize constructed work and to gain exposure opening up opportunities in the growing indian market. for archohm, a global design team is a marketable commodity in high demand from the existing and potential client base. beyond that it is an opportunity to gain time spent on producing high quality design.

the international forum is put forward as an experiment. arising from a common desire to interact with india and with architecture as a common platform of communication. it is conceived as an opportunity to widen our horizons and explore design possibilities. with a team built on essential common foundations the process will be driven by diversity of knowledge and understanding.
