Morphogenesis has spent over 24 years in establishing its core design practice. Having established sustainability and good design principles as deeply rooted values demonstrated through architecture for close to two decades, we continue to develop a discourse bridging design, urbanism, sustainability, and education both at a local and global level through our books.

Delhi Nullahs: The Fractal Metropolitan Layer
The Fractal Metropolitan layer is an ongoing endeavour, which proposes a framework based on the convergence of natural processes with the city fabric. The tree is a metaphor of the inherent processes in nature and this evolutionary paradigm must be emulated by city making processes in the built environment in order to create a new sustainable blueprint -

Morphogenesis: Selected Works, 2015
We believe that Architecture and Design is not only a profession- it is a way of life.

The book details 12 projects that exemplify this approach. -

Anganwadi for All
This book is a simple, user-friendly guide to help one build an Anganwadi that can can fulfil its core functions successfully. Starting with the minimum size prescribed, the design example demonstrates an approach that starts with fulfiling minimum guidelines but shows how spaces can be added and modified, depending on availability, to finally be an optimum solution. It enables the Anganwadi to be built depending on requirement and the availability of funds. -
Approach to Commercial: City Centre
"Of the project highlights, the most significant is the bio-climatological approach, the interface between township and city and the break-out spaces in the form of landscaped terraces as each floor. This project is indigenous in the city."- Buildotech, Dec 2012
