How Archmozzo Is Impacting Architecture Through Digitization

The modern-day world has become a hotbed for challenging conventional norms. Especially with the technological progress that we have achieved today, it's become easier to innovate.

There is no denying that digitization is revolutionizing all sectors of the economy. Fortunately, the architecture and design industry (AEC) has also immensely benefited from these digital advancements. Be it design visualization, documentation, or material procurement, virtual discoveries are impacting architecture through digitization.

As a result, innovative and unconventional architecture practices are being born. Archmozzo is one such example of digital architectural services that are bridging the gap between material suppliers and designers.

How Archmozzo Is Redefining Architectural Practices in India?

The core idea behind the building of Archmozzo was to simplify the project management system in the AEC industry. One of the major hassles in the AEC industry is procuring material samples on time.

To solve this issue, Ar. Swati Gupta, the co-founder of Archmozzo, built a digital platform that enables free material sampling in India.

She has varied work experience in the field of architecture, ranging from hospitality to commercial and residential projects. Drawing from her professional experiences, Swati identified critical issues of conventional material sampling that caused delays in project handovers.

At times, she and her team had to get repetitive with the use of materials in various projects. Most of the time, they even had to let go of new material discovery due to time-bound expectations. Determined to provide a viable alternative solution to traditional market visits, she proposed the idea of online material marketplaces.

The Concept of Archmozzo Explained

Archmozzo creates a win-win situation for both architects and material suppliers. While it helps architects save time and effort, listing materials and products on Archmozzo help suppliers to create a solid digital presence and improve their trustworthiness.

Thus, with the objective of “discovery to experience,” the journey of Archmozzo for impacting architecture through digitization began. Ar. Swati quotes, “Our vision is to build an integrated tech platform for the architects and interior designers by automating their entire journey of material discovery to experience. They’ll get the design inspiration, material samples, real-time availability, quotes, and quality checked materials onsite from a single point of contact.”

Archmozzo is a building material e-commerce website that serves as a library for online material discovery. The website lists a variety of building materials and architectural products that can be ordered for sampling. You will find – plywood, laminates, veneers, rugs, tiles, wallpapers, and many other categories of architectural and interior design materials on Archmozzo.

The platform provides an opportunity for architects to network and connects directly with material vendors. This helps in eliminating communication issues with material sampling. With Archmozzo, architects and designers can order free material samples from various brands in a single box without communicating separately with each supplier. And the best part, the material sampling order gets delivered by Archmozzo within 48 hours.

The Journey So Far

Since its inception in 2021, Archmozzo has collaborated with 50+ material brands and shipped 500+ material samples. Prominent brands such as Stenna Wallpapers, Everest Boards, Grescasa, and Orientbell Tiles identify the significant challenges involved in traditional material sampling. Thus, they decided to get onboard with Archmozzo and list their architectural product samples on the platform.

The platform is constantly striving to collaborate with global material brands to help Indian architects explore innovative material solutions. Archmozzo is impacting architecture through digitization by assisting to discover new building materials online.

With digitization paving the way forward, Archmozzo has built a solid social media presence with a community of over 5000 connections. You will find knowledgeable and interactive content on its social media platforms, keeping its community engaged. Such initiates are an attempt to keep practicing architects up-to-date with the latest industry trends. At the same time, it also aims to help architecture students in understanding all things material.

For this purpose, Archmozzo is exploring various content mediums such as blogs and podcasts to maximize their reach. Material Things is their very own weekly podcast where they reflect upon innovative building materials and trends.

The Roadmap of Digitization Through Archmozzo

With such extensive work progress, the way ahead for Archmozzo is even more thrilling. With material sampling just being the tip of the iceberg, Archmozzo has something much bigger to offer. That’s right!
