Andrew Dolkart, faculty in GSAPP’s Historic Preservation Program, speaks with Brinda Somaya and Nandini Sampat of SNK (Somaya & Kalappa Consultants) in advance of their Fall 2019 lecture at the school.
SNK is a multi-disciplinary Architecture and Design studio based in Mumbai. The firm’s design process is propelled by extensive research and cultural context, which allows for the development of a distinct identity for each built form. During the conversation, they discuss how the duo balances contemporary architectural language with traditional Indian building philosophy, and stress the importance of conservation training for any developing architect.
