DECCAN AMALGAM

Deccan Amalgam is a Hyderabad based, architecture studio that was founded in 2016 by Sneha Parthasarathy and Zoha Razvi. The studio’s design and research initiatives are aimed towards improving the team’s interaction with the city , its topography, landscape, history, infrastructure, politics and people. Deccan Amalgam, as a studio, believes that every space in the city, no matter its scale, affects the city and the way we inhabit it. They are interested in understanding the relationship between any given space or situation and its larger, natural and human made context. This penchant, for deciphering the complex web of inter dependencies that influence the built environment and not just the end product, is the focus of our process. Through their projects they are constantly trying to understand the ever changing world and how as a design studio we can make an informed intervention.

THE VIVEK EADARA SHOW

Hi ! My name is Vivek Eadara and i am a student of Architecture. My love for Art, Travel and Photography made me realise my undying passion for Architecture. I have always loved having conversation with people who are just as passionate about architecture and travel as I am, and this podcast is just that. The idea of starting an Architecture Podcast series is an initiative to interact and create a dialogue with well-known industry professionals, emerging young Architects and aspiring architecture students to converse about one’s personal and professional experiences that may find way in helping others, areas of concern within the fraternity, some fun trivial chats and many more.
