ReadingGrounds

Reading Grounds® Reading Grounds is a practice in Landscape Urbanism, Urban Design and Architecture with its design studio based in Bangalore, India. Reading Grounds was started as a small research platform in London in 2010. It soon evolved into a deep-seated and a radical design practice with a multi-disciplinary and an integrated design approach. Reading Grounds is known for its design methodology which takes a leap forward in looking beyond evolving forms, and it truly believes in designing processes which in-turn are evolutionary, and shape the design. ‘Reading Grounds’ refers to a duality in its meaning. It is the act of ‘Reading’ the grounds, and the act of the ‘Grounds’ of reading further - once they’re completed - to keep the act of ‘Reading’ in continuum. The two words come together to form a strong connect between the process and the product. Ground Research® Ground Research is a reflection of Reading Grounds; a unit that firmly believes in collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team. Ground Research is a research team involved in urban and spatial research. It is rooted and indulges itself into fundamental and deep research. The research provided becomes a datum for designing a process, and that evolves and enriches design. Ground Research also involves itself into evaluating and post-rationalising finished projects or designs to learn from and evolve from them. Ground Research is a think tank that constantly is enriching the works of Reading Grounds.
