The Script

Field Architects

The Script frames Mumbai as a city of dreams and dissonance, where aspiration and exhaustion coexist. Drawing a cinematic dialogue between Mumbai’s restless dreaming and Ladakh’s cinematic allure, it stages architecture as projection, scaffold and screen. From a distance, the pavilion appears as an ordered volume; up close, it fractures into layers of images, fabric and voids that resist a single narrative. Visitors move through shifting thresholds where cinema, city and landscape overlap, becoming both audience and actor within a restless urban script.

Faiza Khan and Suril Patel

Field Architects is a nomadic architecture practice founded by Faiza Khan and Suril Patel in 2017, shaped by their cognitive travel experiences, immersive vernacular lifestyle and critical spatial observations. The studio deconstructs indigenous forms and traditional craft through a contemporary lens—bridging geometry, material, and memory.
