The Srishti Manipal Institute is integral to the larger MAHE Bengaluru campus. It is situated on a 5-acre site, with its built forms evolving into a typology and a grammar of parts of the ‘houses’. The theme of houses or households emphasises collaborative working and informality, fostering a sense of community. The space encourages spontaneous interactions and simplicity and is inspired by the elements of earth, sky, topology, and climate. It is conceptualised as a village of artists, designers, and aspiring practitioners, where various design skills are nurtured.
