Founding Principal Ambrish Arora and Shimul Jhaveri of SJK Architects discussed their design philosophies, in a conversation moderated by Dr. A. Srivathsan of CEPT University, followed by an interesting open discussion on Constructing Practice. The interactive discussion with the audience explored the challenges and opportunities of developing an architectural practice, and embedding the values that guide it, among other practical topics.

Held in a courtyard home that doubles as a community space, the event reflected the Foundation’s ethos: creating room for civic engagement by bringing together students, professionals, and institutions to engage positively so as to influence the city’s evolving fabric—a compelling example of how forums like these can serve as quiet but powerful platforms—for fostering dialogue, sharing knowledge, and building communities.
