Tectonic and delightful, the work of Samira Rathod displays an exacting sense of materiality, tactility and crafting combined with playful experimentation and innovation. Rathod joins a new group of Indian architects who do not lean towards the representational repertoire of signs and symbols, but rather towards the sheer delight of presence where material juxtaposition and phenomenal fabrication speak for themselves. Deeply involved in the design and production of furniture (she once ran a furniture store called Tranceforme), Rathod carries that sensibility into architecture in an instrumental and conceptual manner. Site and the affective conditions of the landscape are also important progenitors of her architecture. Whether it is a tree house made of canvas and gunny bags, a maze in a forest made of wooden logs, a high‐end store whose spaces are continuously re‐created by repositionable panels of rich fabric hung from steel tracks, or a door of 2‐tonne concrete, Rathod is a consummate materialist in the most poetic sense. On each occasion there is always a subtle turn towards what she describes as ‘a trance, a mood that brings sheer delight’. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
