THINKING DWELLING STUDIO

Ajay graduated from College of Engineering, Trivandrum and completed his post graduation in ‘Theory and Design' with top honours from CEPT University, Ahmedabad. Ajay believes that making architecture is always about intervening in a specific historical situation and it becomes valuable only when it enters into a meaningful dialogue with the existing situation, and finds its place in the larger whole. His practice ‘Thinking Dwelling Studio' revolves around this passionate desire to make architecture that unfolds in time, drawing upon the history. His research thesis on ‘Padmanabhapuram Palace' further explored his interest in the nature of ‘unfolding' and ‘wholeness'. Ajay has a keen interest in the architecture of the past and considers research and pedagogy as means to continually nourish his practice. Apart from architecture, his interests include literature, sculpting and farming.
