Shambhavi Joshi - Architectural Designer
"Architecture has the potential to create dramatic spaces, a power to impact the psychology of the user, and the ability to transcend lives. A potential like that should be harnessed with sensitivity and by cognizance of its effects."
“I am a graduate of the Master of Architecture [RIBA part II] course from the Manchester School of Architecture[MSA] specialised under the Complexity, Planning and Urbanism [CPU] atelier.
Throughout my architectural journey,
I have developed and mastered skills ranging from building design and detailing, restoration and reuse, research, analysis, professional studies, etc along with expertise in computation, parametric and generative design, and urban design.
I believe in participatory design as a tool to understand people’s demands in designing better functioning cities. I am very passionate about climate responsive and carbon-neutral architecture. I believe that a fusion of modern technologies and traditional knowledge can provide highly creative architectural solutions essential for the future."
