Sanjay Puri Sanjay Puri Architects He commenced his firm Sanjay Puri Architects in 1992 which now has a strength of 72 people. The firm has won 65 international awards. The firm believes in exploring spatial relationships innovatively and evolving contextual sustainable design solutions. I was 17 years old when I had decided to become an architect and I remember standing on the Kemps Corner bridge in Mumbai sketching the only building that I found unique in the city. My sketch was of Kanchanjunga apartments designed by Charles Correa and it was my first introduction to his architectural repertoire. I have lived on the same road as Kanchanjunga apartments now for 2 decades and I yet admire its design while passing it daily. Charles Correa looked beyond tradition and yet imbibed the Indian ethos in the form of colour, punctuations, courtyards & light & shading principles while evolving a contemporary language.
