TALKS about architecture – Architecture BRIO
On November 26, AIR will organize another TALKS about architecture in collaboration with Robert-Jan de Kort Architecture. We welcome an inspiring, international architecture studio to the stage in Rotterdam: Architecture BRIO (IN/NL). TALKS about architecture focuses on architecture as an artistic discipline.
ARCHITECTURE BRIO – Shefali Balwani & Robert Verrijt
Architecture BRIO is a design-driven architecture and interior design firm with studios in Rotterdam and Mumbai. Established in 2006 by Robert Verrijt and Shefali Balwani, the practice creates contextually sensitive and sustainable solutions in a rapidly evolving world. Drawing inspiration from the influential work of Geoffrey Bawa, the firm’s designs balance bold intervention with subtle integration into their surroundings.
Architecture BRIO’s projects range across scales and sectors, always rooted in a deep understanding of place and context. Each design is guided by a strong conceptual vision, blending necessity with creativity, and maintaining a respect for the natural environment. With numerous national and international awards, the firm remains committed to crafting architecture that serves as a thoughtful backdrop to life, rather than taking center stage.
