FROM IN THE BOX TO OUT OF THE BOX - Architecture of Kalayojan  (English, INDIA, na)

Kalayojan, since its inception in 1986, has had an unremitting professional practice that seems to have perceptibly mitigated the passage of these 30+ years. On a journey of growth from a modest 40 sq.ft Space to a full-fledged office having various verticals, Kalayojan has practised architecture with zeal, sincerity and commitment. Involved in various architectural and infrastructural projects from institutional campus as to large public buildings, bridges/flyovers, mass housing and other residential / office complex projects etc. Kalayojan has also participated & won in various National Architectural competitions. Not every organisation invests as much in formally documenting their body of work as they do in building it up, and documents printed on paper are becoming a rarity in a fast digitizing world, anyway. But news is always made by exceptions, as did Mumbai based Kalayojan Architects & Urban Designers when they published their book From In The Box to “OUT OF THE BOX”. This book takes stock of all attempts taken by them over the last 3 decades, as well as all the milestones yet to be touched. Kalayojan has seen many of its dreams created on paper come to life in steel, brick and mortar, yet many that have remained unrealised. All this has been beautifully encapsulated in this book. This book was launched at a professionally organised event at Grand Bal Gandharv Rang Mandir auditorium at Bandra.
