DIKSHU KUKREJA
We see design in every passing moment of our lives. It is what adds beauty, functionality, and joy to everyday living. However, one rarely ever stops to notice and understand its essence, and instead takes it for granted. Architect and Interiors India presents design dialogues between one of India’s leading architects, Architect Dikshu Kukreja, and eight thought leaders, and draws parallels between architects and design, fashion, politics, business, food and more.
We put Architect Dikshu Kukreja on the hot seat along with Interior Designer Sussanne Khan, Industrialist Gautam Singhania, Chef Manish Mehrotra, Social Entrepreneur and Corporate Honcho Sunil Kant Munjal, Ambassador Andre Aranha Correa do Lago, His Highness YKC Wadiyar and Fashion Kings Shantanu and Nikhil to discuss design that goes beyond the structures that we see, and the buildings that we build.
As for Dikshu himself, there is so much to say! Armed with a Masters in Architecture & Urban Design from Harvard, a Gold Medal from School of Planning & Architecture, New Delhi, and a Taliesin Fellowship from the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, USA, Dikshu is the Managing Director of CP Kukreja Architects, a firm founded by his father, which under his leadership now, has been ranked amongst the Top 100 Architecture firms in the world and Top 5 in Asia.
