Q. Who and What inspired you to take up this profession?

Design has always been an intrinsic part of who I am as an individual from the get-go. Be it the penchant for artistic forms of expression or an innate need to solve everyday challenges through design. Design’s omnipresence in every facet of our lives is something that has intrigued me right from a young age. It is a hybrid of artistic nuances and the science of engineering, making it a discipline that weaves together a way of life for all the people who inhabit a space. Delving into architecture has just been an extension to my inclinations towards the art of creation.

Q. Do you think professional education helps? How has it helped you?

Professional education in the field of architecture helps one to own their skills. Being inclined towards the science of creating and the art of aesthetics embedded in the built environment, pursuing formal training in design has shaped my interests and helped me identify my strengths and overcome my weaknesses as a design enthusiast.

Q. Which was your first project? Where? Share some of your memorable experiences?

The first project by Taliesyn was ‘Uber Living Office’. Located in Hyderabad, this project was a workspace created for one of our friend’s home automation companies. Working on this project signalled towards the direction we as a practice wanted to head to. The most memorable aspect of their first project is all the hustle and bustle that goes into managing their foremost endeavour for any architect. Being successful in finding a balance with all the demands the inhabitant has in his mind while also being true to our own design philosophies, fitting with our first project was a gratifying experience.

Q. What is your design style and what makes you unique amongst your new generation fellow competitors?

For us at Taliesyn, our design impetus is grounded by the notion of crafting spaces that are sensory and effective in the niche of user experience. Our body of work has been an amalgamation of residential, commercial, hospitality, recreational and institutional projects, but what remains as the common denominator is the blending of contemporary nuances with traditional roots that are sacred to the spaces we engage with.

Q. What is your opinion about awards?

It’s appealing to be recognised and appreciated for the efforts invested in creating relevant architecture. Receiving a memento that rewards all the hard work our enthusiastic design team puts in is always gratifying. It also reassures us that our fellow members of the design community relate to our practice and motivate us to keep thriving on our ideologies.

Q. India in itself has a rich, influential heritage of architecture and interior design such as Temple, Dravidian, Kalinga, and Mugal! Is it the time that compelled the changes or any other factors that contributed? Your views

Over the years, our rich cultural past has been overpowered by the global exposures and western influences technological advancements have brought in. Earlier, many resources were required to create built forms; modern sciences have eased creations and caused a dwindle between incorporating Indian heritage in forms of art that requires time and skilled craftsmanship and inviting convenient fast-paced architecture.

Q. In the modern times we see a lot of our structures influenced by Colonial, Western Gothic style of architecture? How do you see architecture and interior design in present times and in the coming future?

Colonial, Western Gothic style inspired modern architecture comes from the British influence that we have had for several years; these styles have also been easier to replicate and therefore inspired many structures in the past. Nowadays, people have started having their own take on how they would like to conduct their dwellings. In the coming future, people will become more & more keen on customising their individual spatial experiences.

Q. What is missing in Indian Architecture? Which new architectural practices will be game changers in the near future?

I believe contemporary Indian Architecture can be more sensitive towards its context- the prevalent climatic and socio-cultural background of a place needs utmost attention while curating spatial experiences. Today, western influences have inspired fanciful architecture that most of the time seems alien to its location. Being true to our roots and crafting an interplay of vernacular materiality and responsive built volumes has become crucial.

Amid the prevalent technocratic paradigm, where we have resourcefully restructured all aspects of earthly life, environmentally responsive architecture that holistically engages the senses and lets us express our affinity towards nature might become a game-changer in the near future.
