We bridge the gap between academic theory and professional practice. Join our hands-on workshops to learn the craft of adaptive reuse and urban design directly from our studio experience.

Students of Urban Design from the School of Planning & Architecture, New Delhi, engaged in a workshop on urban policy. My goal is to make complex topics like urban regeneration and adaptive reuse accessible and practical for the next generation.

Another group of students deeply focused on the workshop task. These intensive sessions are designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and professional practice in heritage conservation.

Guiding students through a complex mapping exercise. Mentorship is about providing direction while allowing students the space to explore their own ideas and develop their unique perspectives on urban design.

The workshop in full swing, with multiple teams collaborating on their urban regeneration strategies. It is inspiring to see such engagement and passion for the future of our cities from these emerging architects.

Our studio thrives on multidisciplinary collaboration. This image from a past summer internship captures the spirit of co-creation, where design thinking and cultural research meet to produce innovative ideas.

With a talented intern at the end of her program. It is an absolute pleasure to host and mentor young professionals in the studio, and I am grateful for the fresh energy and ideas they bring.

A testimonial from an Urban Design Intern from 2024. Hearing that the experience enhanced her understanding of conservation within urban contexts is incredibly rewarding and reinforces the value of our mentorship program.

Another wonderful testimonial from a summer intern. My goal is to offer a profound new perspective on understanding the urban context, and I am grateful to provide these invaluable opportunities through my studio.

About Education & Mentorship: Sharing the Craft

In our workshops, we trade standard lectures for real-world design charrettes. We don't just talk about heritage; we have you mapping stakeholders, analyzing urban usage patterns, and solving live conservation puzzles alongside our team. Whether you are a student or a young professional, you will walk away with a practical understanding of how to apply design thinking to complex, real-world sites.
