Aman Aggarwal, the visionary Principal Architect at Charged Voids, embodies the essence of architectural brilliance and innovation. Leading this internationally acclaimed architecture and design practice from the vibrant city of Chandigarh, India, Aman brings a unique perspective to the field, intertwining spirituality with the physicality of built forms through a profound understanding of the elements and a keen responsiveness to climate. Aman’s design philosophy is a testament to the rich tapestry of influences that have shaped his thinking. Trained under the late Pritzker Prize-winning architect BV Doshi and grounded in the core principles of modernism by the iconic Le Corbusier, Aggarwal seamlessly weaves tradition and modernity into his creations.

At the helm of Charged Voids, Aman has been a driving force behind the conception and execution of some of the firm’s most remarkable projects. Noteworthy among them are the Student Hostel for Chandigarh Group of Colleges, the avant-garde Office 543 in Mohali, and the elegant Residence 91. Each of these projects garnered international acclaim, earning finalist status at the esteemed World Architecture Festival (WAF) in 2019. The Student Hostel, in particular, received the coveted ‘Highly Commended’ accolade, a testament to Aman’s unwavering commitment to excellence.
