New Memories, New Histories l Progressive Design for a Changing World

Founded by Akshat Bhatt in 2007, Architecture Discipline is a New Delhi-based multidisciplinary architecture practice. We aspire to create environments that foster happiness and optimism for the future, bringing value to people’s lives. Our work is driven by a context-centric, rational approach of ideation, which is then defined by a highly technical outlook with a focus on flexibility and longevity. Our portfolio spans typologies from residences to large-scale public assignments. Notable projects include the award-winning Mana hotel in Ranakpur, Rajasthan (2013); the Discovery Centre, a town hall for Bhartiya City in Bengaluru (2014), the India Pavilion at the Hannover Messe in Germany (2015), which was adjudged the best pavilion in the 65-year history of the Messe, and the Corporate Headquarters for East India Hotels, for The Oberoi Group, in Gurugram (2019). Urban scale commissions include JDH, an urban regeneration project in Jodhpur; and the Mohalla Clinics, primary healthcare facilities for The Government of Delhi. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, two concepts were presented at the London Design Biennale in 2021: Life CMF, a community medical facility built from repurposed shipping containers, and the sChoker, a digital neckpiece enabling social distancing. 

Architecture Discipline’s work is highly acclaimed with its principal Akshat Bhatt being listed in the Forbes Bold Club: Top 30 under 45 Indian architects and designers in 2023. Our work has also won several prestigious awards, including a commendation by Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards (USA), Architecture MasterPrize (USA), INDE Awards (Asia Pacific), the Elle Deco International Design Award (EDIDA) India, 6 listings on AD100 as Architectural Digest’s most influential architects, 13 awards from the Institute of Indian Interior Designers (IIID); and citations from the Alliance Francaise, and the Government of India.
