Christopher Charles Benninger Architects, has a team of forty architects with studios in Pune and Thimphu. As an internationally known ‘design house’ Christopher Charles Benninger Architects create products ranging from capital cities and new towns; educational campuses and corporate headquarters; housing estates and complexes; hotels resorts and hospitals; down to the design of individual chairs and art works. The entire range of materiality plays a role in the studio’s search for beauty. In the end it is not the “things” that the studio design’s, but the transcendental experience of the people using them, looking at them, or just being in them which is the essence. For our studio, the good life exists just a step outside of materiality, in a mystic twilight zone, which we call architecture. The firm’s work has been published in international and national books and magazines such as Ekistics (Greece), Spazio-e-Societe (Italy), AIArchitect (USA), Cities (UK), Architectural Record (USA), Zoo (UK), Business Week (USA), Architects’ Newspaper (USA); Arquitectura Viva (Spain); World Architecture (UK); Mimar (UK), Habitat International (UK), Architecture+Design (India), Indian Architect and Builder, Inside-Outside (India) and many others. Mainstream magazine Business Week (USA) named the Mahindra United World College of India as among the ten “Super Structures of the World” in the year 2000.
