\n<\/span>Placemaking<\/b><\/p>\n

With a degree in Applied Arts, Industrial Design and finally Architecture from Paris, France, Stephane Paumier came to India in 1996 as a young professional at the French Embassy Delhi. His education in France was profoundly influenced by the Group UNO and the Peruvian experimental modernist Henri Ciriani who was his Thesis Director. He stayed further to open his own studio with Anupam Bansal and Krishnachandra Balakrishnan, SPA Design, in 2005.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Making of projects entails studies of the context of site, history of the region and technical knowledge for physical realization of desires, forms and spaces. Specific constructional and structural techniques are evolved, local materials are experimented upon. Structural design of any project is always dealt with high sensitivity. The practice believes that the structural solutions can not only support the building but also lend an aesthetic idiom to it. The clarity in structural tectonic always reveals the simplicity and order of thoughts on which the foundations of a project stand.<\/span>
\n<\/span>The practice focuses on large institutional projects combining urban design and architecture. Beyond architectural and structural expression, the practice focuses on <\/span>place making<\/b> as an aim for each project. The project is a catalyzer for the site, the program and the concept, building a place of common memory.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SPA Design has completed notable and awarded projects in the Indian context such as the Alliance Francaise of Delhi (World Community Award), the Tarun Tahiliani and Triburg HQ (both nominated for the Aga Khan Architecture Awards 2010 and 2012), the OP Jindal Global University (Tata Raise and Insdag Awards), the Franco German Embassy, Dhaka, the Shiv Nadar School Faridabad and recently the Ahmedabad University Center ( RIBA International Awards for Excellence 2024)<\/span>
\n<\/span>Stephane Paumier has lectured or was visiting professor in Paris Belleville School of Architecture, in Normandy School of Architecture, in Societe Francaise des Architectes, in CEPT Ahmedabad and SPA Delhi. He is the recipient of the Silver Medal, Academie d\u2019Architecture, Paris.<\/span><\/p>\n
