M N ASHISH GANJU<br />
Delhi based architect, M N Ashish Ganju’s work seems to spring from the self same concern for<br />
the user. His approach believes in a user-friendly architecture first and foremost. He calls his style<br />
of architecture - quiet, unassertive, and simple. For him form is not just shape. It means the way a<br />
building shapes up and integrates with the user, slightly similar to the sense in which we say – ‘this<br />
is or isn’t good form.’<br />
He mentioned in his talk at the conference at Ansal University that his work with Dalai Lama made<br />
him introspect on a lot of questions of the past – ‘What is it that can make people construct such<br />
large structures with no training in this field what so ever? Is it the devotion? What is it that makes<br />
this possible?’<br />
He felt that the possibility of creating such complex structures all by hand is all to do with dedication<br />
and devotion. He concluded that the way of the future is to train our own interior mindscape.<br />
Keeping a warm heart and working out the challenges of everyday life which are disturbing, would<br />
make us better designers in future.<br />
