Revathi and Vasant Kamath staunchly believe in using natural resources and utilize them to the most. The architect duo is a globetrotter on a mission to substitute concrete, cement and energy-consuming systems, with sun, water, wind and soil. Their belief that the architecture constructed in the universe is the articulation of an event in an ecological continuum. In this context, ecology must be understood to encompass both nature and culture, is their drive to work for the work they do.

The studio was started in 1981 as a partnership firm, by the 2 partners, Revathi Sekhar Kamath and Vasant V. Kamath. Since then, the studio has handled a wide variety of interesting and challenging projects, in diverse social, economic and geographical contexts. They practice in Delhi and their studio produces work informed by an explicitly environmental agenda. Their work is a creative synthesis of attitudes and technologies into an aesthetic habitat and way of life. Their work has been published and exhibited all over the world. They have more than 150 projects to their credit, including a desert resort in Mandawa in the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan, Kala Aparajita a crafts showroom and their own home. Three of their projects have been nominated for the Aga Khan Award. Born in Mangalore, Karnataka, in 1946, Vasant obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Architecture in 1968 and a Post Graduate Diploma in Architecture in 1970, both from University College, London. Born in Bhubaneshwar, Orissa, in 1955, Revathi obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Architecture in 1977 and a Post Graduate degree in Urban and Regional Planning in 1981, both from the School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi.
