American Architects Working in India

I am a writer, preparing an article about American architects working on design, construction and planning projects in India.

Do you know any projects of interest?

Hey Aframe,

I am an American Architect currently working in Mumbai. I work with four other Americans at Studio Mumbai Architects. We all went to SCI_Arc together between 2000 and 2006. We were just published in A+U this October, featuring three of our recent projects. We are a design-build firm who currently employ about 15 architects, and about 50 craftsmen from all around India. I would be more then happy to share more about us. my email is; ben [at] studiomumbai [dot] com. Thanks,
Ben

let us hope they are not as overworked as the Indian outsourced labor force: http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/12/25/india.outsourcing.ap/index.html

Thanks to all for your responses. The outsourcing trends, and the work of Studio Mumbai, are great stories.

For this article, we will focus on design firms in the US that are completing projects in India, like Antilia in Mumbai.

Thanks again for the responses.

This article is still in the proposal stage, so the publication date is unknown. I'll post all the details when this is determined.

Please do let me know if you hear of any other relevant projects.
