Principal Architect and Chief Urban Designer at socially collaborative design practice, The Blank Slate, Bina Bhatia has worked on multi-scalar projects ranging from master planning for sustainable luxury holiday homes to university campuses and condominium buildings across India and the United States. Through her practice, she strives to not just embrace but challenge traditional methodologies of design, building typologies, and concepts. She believes in looking at a building not merely as an egoistic monument but rather as a place-making tool embedded in the urban fabric and responsive to the public realm. TBS’s proposal for urban rejuvenation of the Buckingham Canal in Chennai was presented at the International Conference on Climate Change ICCA 2019 in Heidelberg, Germany. The studio has also designed various schools for autistic and special children across India. Bina holds a Master’s Degree in Architecture and Urban Design degree from Columbia University, NYC and was awarded the Kinne Fellowship for her research project on Informal Markets as Public Spaces in Mexico City.
