Thirdspace Architecture Studio: Experimental Indian Practice Founded in 2002

Praveen Bavadekar and Namrata Betigiri established Thirdspace Architecture Studio in 2002, operating from Belagavi and Pune, India. The studio's work spans various scales, typologies, and geographies, reflecting India's complexity and diversity. Its highly experimental approach is grounded in the context of Indian urban space, forging new interactions with localized aspects of urbanity while addressing global architectural concepts and issues. Over the past nineteen years, the practice has developed numerous award-winning projects, published in both national and international magazines and websites. Among its built and unbuilt works is a broad repertoire of educational projects, ranging from student residences to other institutional structures. The studio exemplifies the rich architectural landscape emerging from contemporary India.
