About T E A M

TEAM is an interdisciplinary group of professionals from the fields of architecture, planning and design, besides building engineering and management. The primary objective of TEAM is to provide such consultancy services, through an integrated approach to all allied services, as are not available to clients through a single agency.In addition this group is capable of design of graphics, product design and specialised audio visual installations. TEAM, through their designs, has consistently attempted to address the issues of “sustainability” and “conservation”- both before construction andduring the life cycle of a building. This concern has led the designers in TEAM to research and question“conventions” so as to design improved building systems. These would encompass structural systems, construction materials, finishes, climatic response and other building services such as sanitation waste management and energy conservation systems. The designs optimise the use of resources to create spaces and buildings that shape a new context and yet are simultaneously rooted to their immediate context of the site and the larger context of the region.

    This proposal for the War Museum succeeds in uniting the geometry embedded in the site, with thoughtful and humane planning and detailing that are evocative of a dignified remembrance – the very qualities that a War Memorial for The Indian Armed Forces should contain. The design for the War Memorial is an entirely fitting and gracious response to the imperial connotations and context of Lutyens’ scheme – acknowledging it without attaining or being intimidated by its arrogance.

    That should read ‘without imitating it in any way or being intimidated by its arrogance’.
