4site architects

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE SUMMARY The firm believes as an Architect, one needs to design an environment that enhances life, rather than just being a shelter.

These are the foundations of the firm’s architectural practice. 4site's approach is built not on a predetermined aesthetic or a rigid "signature style." It grows naturally from a quest for ideas and answers. Designs are never imposed. They evolve from a rigorous inquiry into the particulars of location and program. They represent our determined belief that we can transform problem-solving into art. Forging a Partnership: If we are demanding of ourselves, we are equally demanding of our clients. They are our partners. Clients are valued collaborators in shaping the program, determining a direction, and defining success. This close relationship is more than simply an effective way to manage a project. The word 4site was derived from fore-seeing the project, specific to that project.

As an intern I got an opportunity to work on projects from initial design planning, to execution. The firm serves in all allied disciplines such as landscape, industrial design, interior design and much more which a particular project needs. There were two reasons why I enjoyed those five months so much. One is because I was in a city where everything was new for me and I was totally new for the city. In that architectural capital I was like a small bird who can fly very high and very long.

And the second reason is the discussions used happen in my office; my seniors in the office has a habit of asking questions which is quite rare today. They also answered many immature n curious questions of mine. Their views about architectural drawings, design, ethics of the profession, attitude of a trainee, their contemporary architect's works, arts, films and books were very specific which allowed me to see those things with the view of a practitioner rather than a student. In overall my perspectives towards life as in whole get widened in those five months.

As an Architect, one needs to design an environment that enhances life, rather than just being a shelter is the principle followed
