DINESH PANWAR: MAKING A MEANINGFUL IMPACT

What you create endures, often for generations. One can change someone’s life and perception through a spatial creation; a built form can become a part of your memory”—these thoughts intrigued architect Dinesh Panwar drawing him towards the profession of architecture and establishing Urbanscape, an award-winning design studio engaged in exemplary works. He believes in exploring the unexplored, and experiments with forms and facades and works across different building typologies and programmes. The result comprises unique designs that are both sustainable and functional, with an unparalleled aesthetic. Passion, innovation and attention to detail are the characteristics reflective of his design ideology. The studio’s ethos of manifesting the user in the centre of the design is evident in each project. Whether it's a residence, an office space or an industrial building, highly functional and innovative structures are created that match the tastes of its distinctive clientele.

He emphasises on context, materiality, site topography and climatic conditions. Sustainable elements are woven through in his work. “Sustainability is the need of the hour. It should not be treated as a fad. And both architects and clients need to understand the larger benefit and implication of building sustainably,” says Panwar.

All his projects are explored and executed differently, such that every offering from the Urbanscape atelier is absolutely unique. “There are no shortcuts to hard work! Tattoo this on your arm if you must, but never, never forget this,” says Panwar.

We bring to you, his inspirational design journey that he shared with us. Read on…
