art[LAB] is pleased to present a new body of work currently on display at Gallery Kolkata, New Delhi, as part of the exhibition “Panch-Tattva: Material Matters,” curated by Ankon Mitra. The exhibition brings together a curated selection of contemporary works that explore the relationship between material, form, and spatial expression, highlighting how artists and designers reinterpret material as a medium of storytelling and spatial experience.

In a recent project executed in Gurugram, what initially appeared to be a routine interior execution assignment gradually unfolded into a troubling situation. The project involved Ar. Sparshi Gupta of Design Foundation, who was associated with the project as the architect, and the end client for whom the office interiors were being executed. The work was executed, the site was completed, and the project was handed over. However, after completion, payments are left unpaid.

This emerging practice—known globally as parametric art—is reshaping contemporary sculpture. In India, however, it remains rare. It is within this expanding frontier that Sushant Jai-Amita Verma positions himself as a Contemporary Parametric Artist from India, exploring geometry-driven art installations across multiple scales and materials.

The Rise of Parametric Design in India: How Sushant Verma Helped Shape a Movement (from Zaha Hadid Architects to rat[LAB] Studio) Sushant Verma—often regarded as a pioneer of parametric design in India—has been one of the central figures behind that shift. From his time at Zaha Hadid Architects (London) to research-driven practice and teaching across geographies, his journey has helped translate computational design from a global discourse into a thriving Indian ecosystem.

When Water Becomes Form: The aquaMORPH Series Movement is usually fleeting. A wave collapses the moment it forms. Light shifts before it can be held. Yet architecture and art often seek permanence — structure, stability, endurance. The aquaMORPH series explores this tension between motion and stillness — translating the fluid intelligence of water into sculptural form.

In a world where architecture and design are rapidly being transformed by parametric thinking, digital fabrication, and AI in architecture, the need for meaningful education has never been greater. What began in 2017 as a hybrid experiment in design education has, over nearly a decade, evolved into an internationally recognised learning ecosystem — the SmartLabs Programme, curated by rat[LAB] Studio and its academic arm, rat[LAB]EDU.

Spaces are not static. They breathe, move, evolve — shaped by the people who pass through them and the stories they quietly hold. At art[LAB] , every installation begins with a question: How can form respond to space in a way that feels alive? Two recent projects explore this idea from very different yet deeply connected perspectives — one rising into the air at Kochi International Airport, the other grounding itself through rhythmic geometry in Vapi, Gujarat. Together, Aeria

In the rapidly evolving world of architecture and design, parametric facades  have emerged as one of the most transformative and talked-about innovations of our time. They represent a shift from static, ornamental building envelopes to dynamic, intelligent systems —facades that think, respond, and adapt  to their environment. Unlike conventional architecture, which relies on repetition and symmetry, parametric design  empowers architects to build forms that are data-driven ,.

Think back to the last time you stepped into an office that really took your breath away. Maybe it was the cozy lighting, the way the reception area told the company’s story, or how the whole space just felt so easy to work in. That’s no accident. That’s the magic of good design—and it goes way beyond just looking nice. In today’s fast-paced corporate world, especially in India, an office isn’t just a place to work; it’s a powerful tool for growth. A thoughtfully designed wor

In a time where every industry is racing to adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI), architecture is slowly but steadily redefining its relationship with technology. While global headlines speak of breakthroughs from Apple Intelligence, OpenAI, and Microsoft Copilot, a quieter evolution is unfolding in India’s architectural landscape. At the center of this silent shift is LabRat.ai—not a product, not a platform, not public-facing—but an internal AI engine developed by rat[LAB] Stu

“Do not make education your career before you have a career.” – Ar. Sushant Verma This quote reflects not just a philosophy, but a warning against the growing trend of opportunistic education models in architecture and design. Education should be a responsibility, not a fallback. And that ethos underlines the work done by rat[LAB]EDUCATION and SmartLabs over the last decade.
