Arya Design Studio – Architects in Ahmedabad
Established in 2005 by Meghal and Vijay Arya in Ahmedabad, India, Arya Design Studio is a testament to innovation and tradition in the architectural realm. Their ethos revolves around context-centric designs that seamlessly integrate modern technology with traditional architectural methods.
Shaping ‘Appropriateness’: Defining Their Design Philosophy
At Arya Design Studio, each project undergoes meticulous research, embracing the notion of ‘appropriate’ design. This concept is forged by understanding the project brief, contextual elements, and the innate creative impulse. The studio has ventured into the public architecture sphere, crafting diverse projects spanning educational institutions, transit facilities, urban spaces, and more.
Reshaping Urban Spaces: A Visionary Pursuit
The studio’s vision is anchored in reshaping commonplace areas, setting new benchmarks in Urban Design, and infusing dignity, diversity, and quality into everyday spaces. Their repertoire extends to rejuvenating informal urban designs like chowks and streets, breathing inclusivity and vibrancy back into cityscapes that are increasingly becoming exclusive.
Embracing Indian Architectural Heritage: Tradition Meets Modernity
Arya Design Studio boasts a deep reverence for traditional Indian architecture. Their works reflect extensive research, emphasizing semi-open spaces and in-between realms integral to Indian socio-cultural and climatic conditions. Leveraging insights from traditional architecture, they strive to restore the inclusive and democratic nature of public spaces through thoughtful architectural interventions.
Founders’ Expertise: Crafting Architectural Excellence
Vijay Arya, a distinguished graduate from the School of Architecture, CEPT University, brings structural finesse to the studio’s designs. His expertise in spatial experiences resonates through projects that harmoniously blend space, environment, and structure in the Indian context.
Meghal Arya, also a CEPT graduate with a master’s from Georgia Tech, delves into academia to enrich the built environment. Her profound interest in traditional architecture led to publications and a Ph.D. focused on the Water Architecture of Arid India, uncovering the profound meanings within traditional architectural systems.
