Continue reading for more on how you can improve your studios ranking.India is a massive country with a long, complex history, and its architectural heritage reflects this varied past. With decolonization and independence in the mid-20th century, the countrys architects and politicians embraced modernist architecture as a symbolic move away from the past. In 1947, the countrys population totaled about 330 million, yet, there were just 300 trained architects. Today, the population of 1.38 billion consists of over 90,000 registered architects.Rapidly growing urban centers and an influx of wealth continue to fuel architectural commissions, and even as skyscrapers go up, landscape designs are paid increasing attention. While many stories of the countrys design history have begun with outsiders like Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn, today, Indian architects have taken control of the narrative and are cultivating an incredible design culture within their country and beyond. When it comes to contemporary Indian design, the incredible work of Pritzker-prize and RIBA Gold medal winner B.V. Doshi is just the tip of the iceberg.With so many architecture firms to choose from, its challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs.
