Ar. Anuja Marudgan, an architect who graduated from Sinhgad College of Architecture in Pune, is driven by a vision of futuristic designs that harmonize with the surrounding urban environment. She integrates modern technologies to ensure sustainability and energy efficiency.
With strong convictions and a distinct personality, Anuja firmly believes that design wields both power and significance. She perceives architecture as an interdisciplinary fusion of design, art, culture, engineering, and aesthetics. While its roots lie in functionality, the evolution of art has revolutionized its practicality, making the two inseparable. Architecture and interior design, more than any other art form, thrive on the foundations of ‘structure’. There is a methodical approach to the seemingly chaotic world of design. Beyond art, science, and construction, architecture encompasses philosophy, concepts, and emotions.
In essence, architecture is the scientific path that leads us to art, and design transcends mere visual perception. It is a sensory experience felt in the three-dimensional realm.
Practice Ideology
The search for a meaningful life is as universal as anything else. What gives our life meaning? What allows us to live out a happy, Fulfilling life without regret? That’s exactly what the Japanese principle of Ikigai (pronounced ‘ick-ee-guy’) seeks to help us answer. But more than just answering the question in a general sense, lkigai offers a model for discovering exactly the unique endeavour that will give your life meaning and fulfilment, offering an actionable roadmap instead of general wisdom.
