In Anand Sonecha’s interview with Arc of Arc, he shares with us his design process fueled by uncovering the history and stories of a place, its people. How his team shares this passion and curiosity towards architecture and life. How he gradually grows a drawn to scale collection of buildings and spaces he visited to serve as references for his designs.
Established in 2015, SEALAB is an architecture practice, based in Ahmedabad, led by Anand Sonecha. SEALAB takes on an approach towards projects that is slow, contemplative, participative and open-ended. He rigorously engages with the place and its people, to build comprehensive experiences for everyone who benefits from his projects. His community buildings like the School for the Blind are testaments of his sensible attention to needs often neglected by society in India and elsewhere.
