WELCOME TO AISHWARYA TIPNIS ARCHITECTS

THE WAY WE WORK

All our projects adopt the simple three stepped methodology to achieve bespoke creative solutions

 
 
 
 

OUR CORE STRENGTHS

 
 

Documentation & Mapping

Over a decade we have been involved in measured drawings, condition assessments, urban area mapping and appraisals ranging from single buildings to entire colonial settlements.

Intervention Design

Our expertise lies in contemporary interventions in historic buildings and settings varying in scale from signage design to building extensions and urban design solutions

Research

Our work has been supported by robust academic research, we often collaborate with academics, historians, artists, policy planners, legal experts depending on the complexity of the project.

Community Engagement

We believe that urban conservation has to be community led and supported, we incorporate in each of our projects a component of engaging with the stakeholders to spread awareness and empower them to be custodians of their heritage through interactive workshops.

Publications

Our core focus is on reaching out and sharing the learning from each of our projects in the form of blogs, articles in newspapers and journals as well as academic publications.

Allied Design

We believe that heritage is cross-disciplinary and our work employs the use of allied design instruments such as graphic design, documentaries, websites, exhibitions, photography to communicate the leanings of the projects.

 

OUR TEAM

 
 

A young and dynamic team of architects, we brew fresh talent and encourage out of the box thinking. The core values of ATA are perseverance, sincerity and hard work that have remained engrained in every project as we evolve as a reputed professional practice. Since its inception in 2007, the practice has grown to be recognised as a pioneering initiative striving to make conservation popularist movement rather than an elitist exercise.
