CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE
MANASARAM ARCHITECTS
Manasara, the celebrated saint wrote the oldest treatise on Indian Architecture Vastushastra,
describing the science of design principles for buildings, from which the Studio Manasaram is
born. The firm is headed by the principal architect Neelam Manjunath. I like the way they are
dedicated towards the use of local material and construction technique of the vicinity, using
bamboo, mud bricks etc.
STUDIO MUMBAI
Studio Mumbai is collaborative and multi-disciplinary architectural studio founded by Bijoy Jain.
I am very much fond of Bijoy Jain’s work because of his philosophy and approach towards the
design site and the user sensitivity. According to him architecture is not about the image it’s about
the sensibility.

new innovations they is able to continue their style of vernacular architecture.
