Dear Readers,
“Great designers never truly leave us, they live on in the shadows, the light, and the lines of the world they helped create.”- Kritika JunejaThere is something inherently architectural about the month of January. It feels like the schematic design phase of our lives, a time for sketching out big ideas, clearing away the clutter of the past, and deciding exactly how we want to inhabit our world in the months to come.
As we enter 2026, the design landscape is shifting. We are moving away from the purely digital and back toward the tactile. We are seeing a resurgence of the Hand-Crafted Future, where high-tech smart homes are being softened by raw stone, hand-loomed textiles, and organic silhouettes.
A new year isn't just about changing your wallpaper or swapping a rug; it’s about refining your perspective. It’s about ensuring that the space around you reflects the person you are becoming. With this, we also bid farewell to Simone Micheli, the founder and driving force of Simone Micheli Architectural Hero. Simone didn't just design spaces; he engineered experiences. His heroic approach to sustainable, futuristic spaces challenged us to rethink the boundaries of the physical world.
We also remember architect Vijay Garg, founder of Vastuki Consultants. A pillar of the industry, Vijay’s work was rooted in a profound understanding of space and soul. His contributions to the architectural fabric of our region and his mentorship to so many in the field leave a void that will be felt for years to come.
As we carry their legacies forward, we are reminded that architecture’s greatest purpose is to serve humanity. This sentiment is beautifully captured in our exclusive feature with Diana Kellogg. We delve into her poetic approach to design, specifically focusing on the Rajkumari Ratnavati Girl’s School in Jaisalmer.
Inside, you will find a wide range of captivating projects by leading architectural firms such as SAOTA, ACE Associates, Group DCA, Kirti Dudeja, Senspace Architects, Thomas Parambil Architects.
