Speakers
In a rapidly transforming world where climate, culture, and community demand equal attention, architecture must move beyond form to embody responsibility.
For Sanjay Puri, design is about more than aesthetics — it is about responding to context, embracing local traditions, and creating spaces that are inherently sustainable. His projects are sculptural yet deeply rooted in place, shaped by climate responsiveness and cultural memory.
From large-scale townships to intimate cultural spaces, Puri’s work redefines Indian architecture on a global stage, proving that innovation and sustainability can coexist with bold form-making. Each project is a narrative of light, material, and environment, a dialogue between the built and the unbuilt.
Join us on October 24th at 13:00 GMT as PAACADEMY hosts Sanjay Puri for an exclusive 45-minute open talk, followed by a 15-minute live Q&A. During the session, he will share his design philosophy and walk us through some of his most iconic projects, offering insights into how architecture can be both visionary and deeply contextual.
