2010-2014

Environmental concerns and a need for creating environments that consume less and become a constant reminder to return to natural ways of living. With the completion of two very large projects in the last decade, which as a requirement used a lot of glass, we felt it was time to reconsider not only our design choices but also the types of projects we sought.

A design dialogue of two generations becomes discernible in the designs. This is more so with the advent of new material technologies following the liberalisation of the economy.

1980-1989

The need to discover an Indian ‘modern’ different from a regional practice of modernism was the firm’s prime concern during this period. Religious buildings and housing for the poor allowed us to explore themes of modernity grounded in culture and tradition and the real needs of people.

1970-1979

The firm was started by Sumit and Suchitra Ghosh in 1973, a decade which saw political upheavals and uncertainty. While cement and steel were still in short supply, we focused on individual houses and analytical rigour to establish SGA as a practice that is grounded in honesty of material and its craft.

The decade which saw war and political upheaval became a crucial, formative time where cement shortage and economic downturn obligated alternate material technologies and analytical rigour.

New Beginnings

Few offices celebrate their forty years of existence while looking forward to thirty more. Longevity has its benefits beyond the collective experience of years and the diversity of people who join our office as employees or associates. It allows one to understand the transient nature of the trends and styles and look beyond to what has never changed. Therefore, we often find our inspiration in the ancient and in archetypes: the dark cave, the solitary hut in the mountain side, the canyon, the courtyard... the folded paper plane. Things that are renitent to change fascinate us more. In an age of multinational 100-person design firms, we find ourselves resisting growth, wanting to slow down...in the full knowledge that a building finished before time is complimented on the day of the inauguration, but a thoughtful design, constructed with patience and care, will be a joy forever.
