The Merit List [TML] is an initiative by Matter to recognize projects of critical relevance in terms of design and thought in the context of contemporary Indian architecture. Contemporary architecture practices in India produce work of substantial quality. They are beyond the concerns of form and space and engage with the potentials of the rich landscape often curating projects that are complex, multi-dimensional and address issues that transcend programmatic frameworks. Recognizing a need to seek and chronicle such projects, TML aims to instigate critical discourse on the architecture of present India.
1000, 100, 10
1000 studios of architecture and design in India frame the landscape of current work and thought. These studios frame the idea of contemporary Indian architecture and contribute substantially to its identity.
100 projects – products of work from these studios become critical case-studies in the concerns, issues, language and ethos of practice in India. These projects are content-rich and should have an impact on the discourse – professional and academic.
10 Projects from this set transcend the framework of the probable and surprise us with ideas that deserve chronicling. These 10 projects represent the promise of things to come: the work that will be of value in the future. These selected 10 projects will form THE MERIT LIST.
S, M, L, XL
Projects are products of circumstances and situations. To keep the evaluation of the project completely independent of typology, TML took a cue from Rem Koolhaas and made scale as the only organizer of content.
S: 10-150 sq.m.
M: 151-1,000 sq.m.
L: 1001-10,000 sq.m.
XL: 10,001 sq.m. and above
ELIGIBILITY
Any project that has been completed in the last three years (after August 15, 2012) is eligible for TML.
