an you hear the sound of the passage of Time?
Its ever receding chariot
Awakens the pulse of life in the cosmos –
The stars cry out from the bosom of darkness
Crushed underneath its wheels.
Ah friend,
Speeding Time
Has cast its net and drawn me in
For a bold and unknown journey
Further and further away from you.
Many deaths have I traversed to reach the pinnacle
Of this new dawn.
The rushing wheels scatter my old form in the wind.
There is no turning back,
If you gaze from afar
You would not know me.
Farewell, my friend.
On a spring evening-
In the hour of leisure when all one’s work is done,
When sighs from the shore of the past
Float down on the breeze,
And the air is tender with the weeping of softly falling bakul–
Look deep inside that moment-
You will see a part of me remaining behind
At the edge of your heart;
On a languorous evening
Perhaps it will glow;

Origin of the Name: Morphogenesis as a Philosophy
The name "Morphogenesis" is derived from the Greek words "morphê" (form) and "genesis" (origin or creation), referring to the biological process through which organisms develop their shape. In architecture, it represents the dynamic evolution of form in response to context, purpose, and environment. For Studio Morphogenesis, the name reflects a core philosophy: design as a living, adaptive, and context-sensitive process.
Rather than imposing fixed forms, the studio believes architecture should emerge from the unique needs of a site, its users, and its cultural background. This idea of "design as evolution" continues to inform their projects across scales—from intimate interiors to large civic structures.
