“As an architect, I have always been captivated by the way buildings and spaces can shape our lives and experiences. From a young age, I was drawn to the interplay between art, science, and functionality that architecture embodies. The idea of creating structures that not only serve practical purposes but also evoke emotions and leave a lasting impact on people intrigued me greatly,” shares Kshitiz Manu, as he emphasises his passion for innovation in design. A deep understanding of architectural principles combined with fine business acumen is what makes this man stand apart. Further, it is the strong focus on collaboration and strong partnerships with clients, consultants and contractors that have helped his firm K Manu and Associates one of the most sought-after architectural firms in Rajasthan.
Kshitiz strongly believes in creating spaces that harmoniously blend functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability. Sumisha Gilotra gets into a candid conversation with him about what inspired him to be an architect and his views on architecture in India.
What inspired you to pursue a career in architecture, and how did you develop a passion for it?
Growing up in a city renowned for its rich architectural heritage ignited my passion for the field. Exploring historic buildings and witnessing the transformative power of architecture fuelled my ambition.
In architecture school, diverse projects and collaborations refined my skills. Learning from experienced professionals and engaging in hands-on design exercises broadened my understanding. Renowned architects’ innovative approaches inspired me to challenge norms.
