Manit Rastogi is the Founding Partner of Morphogenesis, one of India’s most internationally recognized architecture and urban design firms. Educated at the School of Planning and Architecture in New Delhi and the Architectural Association in London, Manit developed a design philosophy centered on environmental responsiveness, passive design, and systemic sustainability. Over the course of his career, he has led projects ranging from institutional campuses and smart cities to hospitality, commercial, and residential developments across India, Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the UAE, Afghanistan, and South Africa. Under his leadership, Morphogenesis developed its S.O.U.L.© framework — Sustainable, Optimised, Unique, and Liveable — which guides the studio’s holistic approach to architecture. The practice’s built work has collectively contributed to significant reductions in freshwater consumption, energy use, and CO2 emissions across more than 50 million square feet of completed sustainable buildings. A prolific lecturer, researcher, and author, Manit has published extensively on zero-energy buildings and sustainable urbanism. He is also a founding member of the GRIHA Council and has played an influential role in shaping environmental policy and architectural education in India.
Camila Ureña is a Mexico City–based architect whose work focuses on adaptive reuse, restoration, and residential architecture through collaborative and research-driven processes. In 2022, she co-founded WORC STUDIO alongside Ricardo Martínez, establishing a practice centered on contextual sensitivity, materiality, and the reinterpretation of existing structures. Parallel to her architectural work, Camila is also co-founder of ARCO and MORADORES, two restoration-based cultural initiatives that extend her interest in architectural heritage into the realms of cultural production and hospitality. ARCO operates from a rehabilitated property in Mexico City as a platform for exhibitions and creative exchange, while MORADORES is located within the historic center of Toluca. Her work with WORC STUDIO has received international recognition through honors including the Architecture Master Prize, DNA Paris Design Awards, and the Archello Awards, where the studio received the Jury Award in the Interior of the Year category in 2025 for Casa Símera. The studio was also recognized with the Jóvenes Talentos 2025 distinction by the Noldi Schreck Award.
