Ar. Girish Doshi strongly believes that architecture is not a


simple manipulation of forms, but is about construction of
space and place.
Light plays a decisive role in his design.
To him authentic material, pure geometry and nature are
the essentials that make architecture.
Words Beauty, Inspiration, Joy, as well as the concept of
serenity, silence, solitude all this have nestled in his soul
and though he is fully aware that he may have not done
them complete justice in his work, they never ceased to
be our guiding lights.

If architecture is the reorganization of space through

blur the boundaries between the juniors,
