Why a Building in Alibag Was Designed to Be Taken Apart and Moved: Architecture BRIO Co-founder Robert Verrijt on Climate-Adaptive Design, the Geoffrey Bawa Legacy, the Billion Bricks Shelter Project, and What Design Education Gets Wrong About Individuality
In March 2026, students from the Parul Institute of Design visited Architecture BRIO during the Parul Institute of Design Mumbai Industry Tour to meet co-founder Robert Verrijt. A Dutch architect trained at Delft University of Technology who arrived in India in 1999 for an Ahmedabad school project and settled permanently in Mumbai in 2006, Robert Verrijt founded Architecture BRIO with his partner Shefali Balwani and now leads a fifty-person studio that designs across India’s many climates, collaborates on the Billion Bricks shelter project to address the country’s twenty-million rural-housing need, and was profoundly influenced by the work of the late Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa. The session covered the 2000 Gujarat earthquake that reshaped his philosophy, the discipline of designing with local materials, the regret of leaving his mentor’s office too early, his critique of design education’s individuality fetish, a demountable studio in Alibag built to migrate as sea levels rise, the Billion Bricks Lego-style concrete-brick shelter with solar-park-on-roof solution, and why hand sketching with pen and paper will remain a permanent human skill.
