Pedagogy Of Practice 2025: The Architectural Journey Of Studio Archohm

Architecture is a language that speaks of context, culture, and curiosity. Archohm, a multidisciplinary studio based in Noida, India, embodies this approach in its latest exhibition, Pedagogy of Practice. This is not simply a display of built objects; it is an excavation of processes, philosophies, and provocations that have shaped Archohm’s journey over the past several years. The exhibition examines how a young and youthful design firm has developed through questioning conventions and learning through failure and friction.

Architecture at Archohm

Archohm’s route has never been simply linear. It has taken many shapes in terms of scale and society, moving back and forth between experimental and executable. The exhibition reveals this process, showing the studio grow from a fearless, joyous youth to a reflective maturity while still having an insatiable instance of restlessness. This is a practice that balances both high-stakes urban infrastructure projects with culturally charged space, yet at the same time operates within a more delicate space between academic research and responsive innovation.

The exhibition raises Archohm’s unconventional practice, which is not just concerned with ‘what,’ but has a deep focus on the ‘how.’ As it showcases live case studies, conceptual models, and archival fragments, Pedagogy of Practice serves as an autobiography as well as a classroom.

This initial proclamation serves as the platform for the exhibition, a history of what it means to make architecture with ambition and consciousness. This exhibit does not document only aggregated built architecture, it takes strands of thought and pedagogy from the place of lived experience. It invites the viewer to reflect on the architect’s role in a time when Indian public architecture is really coming of age.

Through its works, Archohm insists that architects reflect on their place not just as designers but as change makers. In a rapidly urbanizing nation, the ability to shape public spaces with empathy and audacity is a recurring theme.

How To Practice

The exhibition shares anecdotes that demonstrate the courage, dogged perseverance, and empathy required to translate awareness of contemporary challenges into taking bold opportunities to build in the public domain in India

Additionally, this panel offers an insight into the blood and sweat behind the drawings. It provides an honest view of the complicated choreography involved in working across clients, authorities, and community while attempting to remain true to an architectural disposition. Working in the public domain in India is a product of negotiation, ambition vs affordability, regulation vs creativity.

How To Architecture

The exhibition reinstates how architecture, despite the constraints presented, must attempt to be deeply rooted in theoretical understandings, indigenous practices, and global perspectives.

Architecture is not just a profession, it is philosophy in action. This part of the exhibition proclaims the belief that useful architecture must be formed from a stronger discussion among place, pedagogy, and practice. Furthermore, the exhibition advocates an Indian identity that is not nostalgic but critically re-imagined.

Archohm is shaping a new way of thinking, where architecture firms don’t just act as service providers but take on active roles as thought leaders, helping to guide and shape the future of Indian architecture.

Conclusion

Pedagogy of Practice is more than an exhibition; it is a reflective journey through Archohm’s changed design process that emphasizes exploring sketches, site explorations, and lived experiences when shifting focus from architectural exhibitionism to an educational one, while also articulating a new template for Indian architecture based on inquiry and experiment and a radical reconsideration of the processes of how we do design in the present.
