About

A para-academic space for architecture, art and urbanism

BAUfabrique is a platform to advance knowledge in architecture, design, urbanism and education, through teaching, research and public discourse.

Why para-academic

Because learning need not be confined to the university. No prerequisite degrees, semesters or entrance exams. Just rigorous, experience-led learning guided by educators and practitioners.

It means we can run a two-day programme on one cave complex, or a certificate on the parts of practice a syllabus has no room for, and open both to a student, a practising architect and a curious neighbour at the same time.

We explore ideas, skills and practices that conventional curricula often leave out, creating space for inquiry, exchange and continued learning.

Where programmes happen

Most programmes run from our studio in Navi Mumbai. Others run wherever the subject is: a collaborator's studio in Mumbai, a site, an island. Each programme page carries its own locations, directions and meeting points.

Collaborating Practices

We build programmes with practices and institutions, and credit them on the module they lead, beginning with DesignWorks on the Building a Practice certificate. How collaboration works →
