Through its fellowship programme and exhibitions, Sustaina India supports emerging artists in exploring ecological questions while fostering dialogue between research, creativity, and community

Studio Neogenesis was founded by Chinmay Laiwala, Jigar Asarawala, and Tarika Asarawala as a practice rooted in the idea that architecture must do more than build, it must create a sense of place. Over the last 14 years, the studio has grown into a dynamic design practice with a portfolio that spans master planning, housing, institutional and industrial projects, cultural and recreational spaces, commercial developments, and interiors.

What unites this breadth is a clear design philosophy: blending creativity with practicality, technology with tradition, and contemporary culture with timeless sensibilities. With each project, the studio strives to craft environments that are functional yet inspiring, enduring yet responsive, spaces that quietly elevate the everyday while carrying a distinct identity of their own.

Extreme heat places a disproportionate and, in many ways, an invisible burden on women engaged in unpaid domestic work like cooking and managing households. Unpaid domestic work is uncounted in economic data, while the stifling indoor heat of kitchens and living spaces remains absent from policy, hidden within private walls, and largely unacknowledged in public discourse. Indoor temperatures can often exceed outdoor ones, and in poorly ventilated, tin-roofed homes, routine domestic work becomes a health hazard. Co-created with women homemakers, this project aims to document their personal struggles with rising heat, and how women adapt with resourcefulness, finding small yet often inadequate ways to stay cool and ease discomfort. Through their voices, we glimpse their struggles, creativity, and the everyday strength that keeps homes and care going in a warming world.
