rat[LAB] at Bharat Parv 2025: A Narrative of Innovation and Architectural Evolution


Celebrating Indian Architecture at Bharat Parv

Bharat Parv, one of India’s most prestigious cultural exhibitions, took place at the historic Red Fort in New Delhi from January 26 to 31, 2025. Organized annually by the Ministry of Tourism, Bharat Parv is a grand celebration of India’s diverse heritage, bringing together traditional crafts, culinary arts, cultural performances, and, most importantly, architectural excellence.


This year’s theme, "Dekho Apna Desh", encouraged people to explore and appreciate India’s vast cultural and architectural landscape. Among the many exhibits, a standout feature was the Council of Architecture (CoA) Pavilion, which curated a compelling narrative of Indian architecture—spanning from its historical grandeur to its contemporary innovations and futuristic visions.


We are proud to share that rat[LAB] has been prominently featured at Bharat Parv 2025, as part of the Council of Architecture’s prestigious showcase. Our work—both professional and academic—has been recognized as an integral part of India's evolving architectural story.


From Tradition to Futurism: rat[LAB] in the Architectural Narrative

The Council of Architecture’s booth at Bharat Parv created a seamless journey through India's architectural evolution, displaying heritage structures, innovative contemporary designs, and futuristic visions that define India's built environment today.

rat[LAB] has long been a frontrunner in architectural computation, parametric design, and AI-driven spatial innovation. Our inclusion in this prestigious exhibit is a testament to our contributions in redefining design methodologies and shaping the future of architecture.


Our work featured at the CoA Pavilion embodies the intersection of technology and creativity, showcasing our efforts in:


  • Computational & Parametric Design – Leveraging advanced computational techniques to create cutting-edge facades, installations, and spatial designs.

  • Sustainable and Adaptive Architecture – Exploring new materials, digital fabrication, and energy-efficient building systems.

  • AI in Design – Integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning to optimize form, function, and user experience.


A Platform for Innovation: Showcasing Student Work from rat[LAB]EDUCATION & Smart Labs Programme

Beyond our professional projects, rat[LAB]’s academic verticals—rat[LAB]EDUCATION & Smart LABS—was also represented at Bharat Parv. The CoA’s pavilion included student projects from Smart Labs, our flagship program that nurtures emerging designers and architects in computational design, parametric architecture, and AI-driven form-finding.

The inclusion of student work in such a prestigious forum highlights an important shift in Indian architectural education—one that embraces experimentation, algorithmic thinking, and future-forward solutions.

Why This Matters:

  • Students from Smart Labs and rat[LAB]EDU have their work showcased at a national platform, proving that India’s next generation of architects is ready to redefine design.

  • It reinforces the importance of integrating technology into mainstream architecture, ensuring our built environment evolves intelligently and sustainably.

  • It aligns with global trends, demonstrating that India is at the forefront of emerging technologies in design.


Technology’s Role in Shaping the Future of Architecture

The Bharat Parv 2025 exhibit is a reflection of how far architecture has come and where it is headed. The integration of computational methods, AI, and sustainable design principles is not just a futuristic concept—it is happening now.

At rat[LAB], our approach has always been to push the limits of conventional architecture by leveraging cutting-edge digital tools.


Our research in generative algorithms, computational geometry, and interactive design systems has allowed us to:

  • Design facades that respond to environmental factors dynamically.

  • Create installations and parametric art that redefine spatial experience.

  • Optimize structures using AI-driven form-finding techniques.


Being part of Bharat Parv 2025 affirms our commitment to architectural innovation and solidifies our role in shaping India’s architectural and educational ecosystem.

Acknowledging the Council of Architecture’s Vision

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Council of Architecture (CoA) for recognizing our work and giving us a platform at Bharat Parv 2025. The CoA’s initiative to curate a holistic representation of Indian architecture—from heritage to innovation—ensures that emerging voices in design and technology are acknowledged alongside established architectural legacies.


rat[LAB]’s journey is a blend of academia, research, and practice, and having our work featured in this national showcase underscores our dedication to architectural evolution.

A Call to the Future

As Bharat Parv 2025 draws to a close, the message is clear—India’s architectural future is dynamic, forward-thinking, and deeply rooted in innovation. rat[LAB] is proud to contribute to this ongoing narrative of transformation.

For those who visited the Council of Architecture’s pavilion, we hope our work inspires new possibilities in design and technology. For those who couldn't attend, we invite you to explore our projects and academic programs that continue to shape the next era of architecture.


Let’s continue pushing boundaries, embracing technology, and creating spaces that redefine how we experience design.
