Eye Of Noida, rethinks the conventional office campus as a more connected urban ecosystem, bringing workplaces, retail, landscape, and public movement together.

The master plan centres around a green boulevard, with elevated skywalks creating a pedestrian-first network across the campus. By separating pedestrian and vehicular movement, the design creates opportunities for interaction, movement, and pause.

Rooted in Intelligent Urbanism, EON moves beyond the conventional workplace to create a more connected and human-centric urban environment.

The pinboard had a lot to say this World Architecture Day. ✏️

A day of sketches, unexpected favourites, friendly competition and plenty of studio spirit.

Because sometimes, the best way to celebrate architecture is simply to step back, pick up a pencil, and draw.

Housing belongs at the heart of every city.

For DFI, housing has always been an evolving practice, shaped by the changing scale and needs of Indian cities. From individual residences to low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise developments, our work has grown across typologies while keeping People First Architecture at its core.

Across this journey, we continue to look beyond the home itself, considering privacy, comfort, community and connection as essential parts of the residential experience.

This World Architecture Day, we reflect on our contribution to creating housing that evolves with the city while remaining grounded in the people who call it home.

Housing is a human right. Build it.

India’s traffic problem is rarely just about the lack of infrastructure. It is also about how our roads, pedestrians, public transport and traffic systems interact—or fail to.

According to Goonmeet Chauhan , Founding Partner at Design Forum International, improving urban mobility requires us to look beyond isolated interventions and understand the city as a connected system. From pedestrian-friendly infrastructure to better traffic compliance and smarter use of technology, the solution lies in designing for how people actually move through cities.

The question is no longer how much infrastructure we can add, but how intelligently we can connect what already exists.

Earlier this month, at Fire Safe Build India 2026, Anuj Prabhakar, Assistant Director, Design Forum International, joined a panel discussion on “Fire Safety and Future of Buildform.”

The discussion explored how fire safety can be integrated into architectural thinking, with a focus on creating safer and more resilient high-rise environments through design.

Thank you to the organisers of Fire Safe Build India (FSBI) for bringing together this important conversation around safety and the future of the built environment.
