Winner, Non-Registered Architect
Subhojit Sinha, Senior Designer, Callison, RTKL, Dallas, TX
Sangath, Ahmedabad, India
Subhojit Sinha’s sketch of Sangath, the work—and offices—of architect B.V. Doshi, stemmed from his appreciation for “Indian vernacular architecture in a more contemporary form.” The Dallas-based RTKL senior designer visited the building, located in the state of Gujarat’s largest city, Ahmedabad, during his undergraduate internship in India. “I really liked the building, and I had read about it a lot, but I wanted to experience it,” he says. In Sinha’s own practice, he says he’s “inclined toward hand sketches—that’s where I get a lot of my ideas. It’s always my first step.”
