I strongly believe that experience is more important in our field than what we have learned from our faculties, or we have gained from books. After completing my bachelor’s degree, I started working with small scale projects. Every time, for the reason of giving a unique touch to the projects- it has generated many opportunities to help me grow as a strong designer. From new and different projects, I have learnt a lot of things especially from site experiences. Yes..! My faculties, my college have given me a lot. I learned on their steps; starting from holding pencils, influencing from different ideas to the final outcome of the project-on paper; but my actual on-site work experiences have helped me establish a base of my firm, called “Green Squares”.
Green does not serve only name, but it reflects our interests, our passions and our dedication towards society in making it more energy efficient. My bachelors degree thesis, named “Ecology of Skyscrapers” – an energy efficient skyscraper design, helped me earn national award. I fostered my interest further ahead and did my masters in “Climate change and sustainable development” to make it more worthy and meaningful. Also, my masters’ thesis, named “Thermal Performance due to orientation in residential building for hot & dry climate of Ahmedabad”, helped me to identify myself in the field of green architecture and clients started demanding for applications of the research ideas. Our journey towards green architecture and energy efficient buildings have just begun and we are aiming at society “squares” to make it “Green” in a true manner. We are also preparing for LEED and GRIHA rating applications.
My friends joined me during this venture and made “Green Squares” a strong firm. We worked on many residential, commercial, institutional, landscape architecture and interior projects including some creative product designs; and wall mural designs. We are known for contemporary architecture and interior designing with creative product designs.
