Facades aren’t just about looking good.
They filter light, cut heat, save energy, and shape identity.
From the jaali skin of Pearl Academy that cools Jaipur’s desert air, to the solar-responsive louvers at Wipro Campus and daylight-calibrated glazing at Infosys, to the thermal shield of Zydus HQ - each facade is a system of performance, not just a surface.
At Morphogenesis, facades are where beauty meets intelligence.

What you’re seeing are bioelectrical spiral waves coordinating the onset of mitosis—spatiotemporal excitation patterns emerging from ion-channel dynamics, membrane voltage oscillations, and intracellular signaling feedback loops.
Originally identified through high-resolution live-cell imaging and fluorescent biosensors, these waves revealed that the cell cycle is not merely a sequence of chemical checkpoints, but a spatially organized excitable system capable of producing electrophysiological waveforms akin to those seen in multicellular tissues.
Mitotic waves demonstrate that even at the single-cell scale, electrical and biochemical information are deeply intertwined, orchestrating cell-cycle progression through dynamic, self-organizing patterns. Life builds order through waves—and here, the pattern is a spiral.

Susegad. You’ve heard that word peppered into every conversation about Goa.
But much like other aspects of heritage, this cherished notion is also an idea that needs our attention. “Restoration is crucial for cultural sustainability,” outlines Sonali Rastogi @sonali.morphogenesis of Morphogenesis @morphogenesis.official who recently revived an old Portuguese villa into a bijou hotel for the Taj group called The Yellow House. “One of the key steps was ensuring that our interventions were an extension of the existing design language and well-suited to the context,” says Sonali about their vision. Morphogenesis carefully studied the history and the construction techniques of the older built form to bring forth the vernacular essence, or keep the Susegad alive, as it were. #EDBeforeAfter

An institution in itself, Morphogenesis @morphogenesis.official, led by Sonali @sonali.morphogenesis and Manit Rastogi @rastogi_manit, has been at the nucleus of the journey for many new generations of architects. “We started in 1996 as a two-member team and in the subsequent 28 years have seen it evolve from its humble beginnings in a Delhi garage to a firm with almost 200 professionals,” smiles Sonali as she walks in. Later, Deepanjali joined the team. Graduating from the School of Planning and Architecture in 2003, she walked into Morphogenesis, marking her first and “only” job. “I remember sitting at my desk and suddenly feeling the presence; the studio was abuzz, and I knew at that moment, the boss had arrived. I quickly snuck a look at Sonali before going back to freeze position,” she laughs, recollecting her first day at work. Years later, Deepanjali now also helms Visarg Design Studio @visarg_design_studio, taking pride in designing homes driven by details, allowing herself to be stretched beyond her inclinations to constantly discover new design choices. Having a powerhouse as a mentor has its many advantages, as Deepanjali reaffirms, “My learning from Sonali was beyond architecture. I had the chance to view up-close, a life lived in a way that I truly admired. There was passion for work but also for living,” she says. These two dynamic women, who not only helm two successful practices today but also mirror each other’s passion and determination to create architecture that matters. Join us as we delve deeper into their journey and inspirations in our latest issue.

“For us, sustainability began with the idea of conserving energy. Over time, it has grown to embrace recycling, refurbishing, and reusing materials, while also creating a balance between what people connect with from their past and what they aspire to in the future. Equally important is sustaining community crafts, without which many of these traditions could vanish. What started as a focus on energy has today evolved to include Green Buildings and, more broadly, the cultural dimension of sustainability,” says Ar. Sonali Rastogi, Co-Founder of Morphogenesis, in conversation with Building Material Reporter.

“This is my first experience at the Smart Design Conclave & Awards, and it has been a wonderful opportunity for interior designers and architects. Every day brings something new to discover. I just witnessed how AI can be applied in our field, and there is so much to learn here,” said Jyoti Nahata of Kolkata-based Infinity Atelier while speaking to Building Material Reporter.

“Is DNA Overrated? BioElecttics is Instructive and the True Blueprint of the Body” 🧠 ⚡🧬
🧬⚡🧠 PART 3 🧠 ⚡🧬
⚡ The Electric Blueprint of Life: Michael Levin’s Revolutionary Bioelectricity Research
Can cells think? Can electricity shape a body? Dr. Michael Levin is redefining everything we thought we knew about biology with his pioneering work in bioelectricity — the electrical signals that cells use to communicate, coordinate, and even decide what to become.
In this video, we explore:
🧠 How bioelectric signals guide cellular behavior, development, and regeneration
🌱 Levin’s mind-blowing experiments, like growing two-headed worms and reprogramming tissue using bioelectrical patterns
⚡ The idea that electricity, not just DNA, is the real blueprint of the body’s form
🦎 How this research could lead to breakthroughs in limb regeneration, cancer suppression, and synthetic biology
🧬 The implications for AI, consciousness, and the nature of intelligence in biology
Michael Levin’s work blurs the lines between biology, computation, and consciousness — challenging us to rethink how life really works at its most fundamental level.
👇 Dive into the emerging science of bioelectricity and discover the future of regenerative medicine, morphogenesis, and biological computation.

Truly honoured to be part of "She Builds Bharat" by @republicworld - a powerful conversation on shaping the future of India’s built environment.
Spoke about inclusive leadership in real estate, the urgency of sustainable, context-driven design, and why applying a gender lens to innovation matters more than ever.
Grateful to @aakankshaxkapoor and the entire team for creating space for these vital voices.
Sharing a snippet from behind the scenes.
