AltARQ

altARQ collaborative is a consultancy practice rooted in architecture and urbanism for the global south. We work with crossovers of multiple disciplines to system think and design for problem-solving with rurban resilience, inclusion, and spatial equity as our core concepts. altARQ design studio and altARQ rurban lab are the collaborative's two investigating arms. Founded by Tunisha Mehta in October 2019, altARQ collaborative operates from Patna and Delhi. Tunisha had her professional training from Design Atelier, Bangalore, Junya.Ishigami+associates, Tokyo, and Mangera Yvars Architects, Barcelona. Having worked in India, Japan, and Spain, she firmly believes a deep contextual understanding is a key to any veritable setup. Her practice is anchored in the rurban development of Bihar, India. She studied architecture at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra in Ranchi, India.
