Thank you for visiting us. We are still in the process of building our website, and request you to bear with the glitches and unrefined content till we are able to set it up :)
Kakani Associates is a practice established by Surya and Jaai Kakani, as a collaborative between architecture and
design in 1995 each informing the other and subsequently informing a
way of life.
An underlying ethos of the practice has been
to achieve efficiency in operation, minimize waste and match form and
expression closely to the imperatives of the chosen construction
systems and processes, broadly related to sustainability along with
the habitual essence of buildings.
The practice
mainstreams all these concerns through various building types of
schools, hospitals and public institutions which has been published
and acknowledged in various journals and conferences.
The
practice has been naturally informed through Jaai and Surya’s
strong academic linkages with architecture and design institutions as
they consider academia and practice as mutually nurturing each
other.
Recognizing Surya Kakani’s contribution to
architecture practice and continued collaboration with academia, from
April 2017 he was appointed as Dean Faculty of Architecture CEPT
University, a position he held till June 2020.
The
practice was awarded the Michael Ventris Award 2021 for their work on
the timbrel construction.
