About

A para-academic space for architecture, art and urbanism

BAUfabrique is an educational platform to advance knowledge in architecture, design, urbanism and education, through teaching, research and public discourse.

Why para-academic

Alongside the university rather than inside it. No degrees, no semesters and no entrance exam, but the same seriousness about the material, taught by people who teach and practise for a living.

It means we can run a two-day programme on one cave complex, or a certificate on the parts of practice a syllabus has no room for, and open both to a student, a practising architect and a curious neighbour at the same time.

Where programmes happen

Most programmes run from our studio in Navi Mumbai. Others run wherever the subject is: a collaborator's studio in Mumbai, a site, an island. Each programme page carries its own locations, directions and meeting points.

Collaborating practices

We build programmes with practices and institutions, and credit them on the module they lead, beginning with DesignWorks on the Business of Practice certificate. How collaboration works →
