Hi, I'm Ar. Kunal Angane from batch of 2013, I, after working with a renowned architect in Dubai, and developers corporate setup. I am now running my own firm. Me studying in LSRSoA was like being in a Gurukul. Being naive and away from home in the world, full of education to imagination. ... It was easy being lost, but our faculty deciphered our capabilities, channelled our thoughts, and challenged us to think beyond architecture. Thus, by building confidence and developing our personalities. Being among the first batches of LSRSoA, and NASA-unit secretary to get the prestigious Le Corbusier trophy home after nearly two decades, LSRSoA has honed me to be a strategist yet responsible, a team player yet a leader. Today, some of us are architecture professionals, some in real estate, academicians, design journalists, project managers, landscape architects. L.S. Raheja School of Architecture has helped each one of us to build our character and develop the right attitude towards design. Each of the quality and education that I have walked out with from this institution is my strength to be a better professional, and to be a person that my family is proud of. I would've been a lesser architect and lesser human being. Had it not been a part of L. S. Raheja School of Architecture. read more

Hi, my name is Resham Makhija . I graduated from L.S. Raheja School of architecture with my bachelor's in 2014. And then I went on to do my master's at Illinois Institute of technology, and I graduated from there in 2017. So the scariest part about actually going through my masters was trying to figure out if I could be equally violent or I could keep up with people on a global level. ... And that's when I realized how much LSRSoA had an influence over the shaping of me becoming an and becoming an architect. So not only does it give me the confidence to pursue my skills, go ahead and display it at a global scale. It taught me everything that I know today about architecture. The college itself, the infrastructure, the way the faculty works toward supporting you and your needs are something that I don't think I've seen in any other institution. So, that's one reason why I absolutely look back with pride on my days at LSR, besides the five most interesting years of my life. I made friends that lasted me a lifetime. I had professors that I'm still in touch with and I can't imagine my life without. I have an education or degree to support what I'm doing today. So there's just nothing that I can't credit to my college. And, two people that actually stood out to me within my five years of architecture at LSRSoA, Mridula Ma’am. She was our class in charge and on day one, I realized that her role is going to be super significant in my life, because the amount she cared and the dedication that she puts in for each and every student is unbelievable. So if you have her as a teacher consider yourself lucky, and the second person for me was Anuj Sir, he was my thesis guide and oh my God, everything that I have asked him to do for me, he has done, he's gone way above and beyond what most professors. So the two people that actually stand out for me and, um, yeah, the best five years of my life. read more

Hi, this is Shreya Rangaraj, a third year student at L.S.Raheja School of Architecture. The past two years in this college has been my home ground to learn, create, explore, and develop new ideas in both architectural and non architectural circles from the elocution competition, tapping into my extempore skills, to the crazy and abstract design briefs that brought out the undiscovered creative skills i had. ... From working and being part of NASA that helped me work as a team and sharpening my competitive skills, publishing and launching documentation book that brought out the little author in me, these diverse and various platforms given by my college helped me develop shape and nurture my growth towards a very holistic and enriched architecture learning experience. This wouldn't have been possible without the environment in our college.

Hi, I'm Shazneen and I'm currently in the third year of architecture. So I'm sure people must have told you all that architecture is already difficult because with a lot of late nights of submissions, hurdles, but I'm sure under the right guidance, it is not all that difficult. At LSRSoA we have super supportive faculty and all year round, we take part in these workshops, seminars and events. ... So there is a common platform created where there is a generous exchange of ideas and information with your seniors and juniors within ourselves. And it's not just restricted to our college, but we also take part in a lot of inter college events throughout the year. So this exposes us to various methods of learning.And basically it shows you where you stand in the outside world . Because of all this, several of our ex- students have branched out into para-architectural fields, such as architectural journalism, photography, and even cinematography and similar such creative fields. Talking about exposure and creativity we have our annual Fest Aakar; trust me during this time, many of us have discovered this hidden talent within us, which was there throughout our life, but we never even knew about. As we say it, everything is a form of art. Be it singing, dancing, or even performing a particular sport. Over here, you will realize It's not just about architecture, architecture, architecture, but shaping your whole personality as a whole and creating your own individuality. So all the best guys, hoping to see you all very soon, all of you will be very lucky and soon you will be making this your place and wouldn't want to go anywhere else. read more

Hi, my name is Tanvi Pagare, and I am currently in the fifth year. I think having been a part of L.S.R. from the past four years of my life. One thing that I've certainly learned is seeking inspiration from the people around me. And by this, I'm referring to a lot of my classmates and my seniors who recently graduated. They're all so incredibly talented and they have so much to offer. ... I think the people that I have been surrounded by have driven me and really molded my perspective. NASA has definitely been one of the highlights of this journey, and it consisted of a lot of blood, sweat tears debate, sleepless nights and a lot of chaos. But what I could take away from it and my growth from it and the connections that I could establish through NASA, it has been invaluable. I think LSR actually encourages students to widen the horizon and divulging things beyond academia or when it comes to learning. In fact, I was a part of our vernacular sustainability study program in Vietnam, which actually occurred in the middle of my academic semester, but they still encouraged me to go forward with it. The international study tours also make learning a lot more fun. And so many of the professors, takes pain taking efforts to make sure that the journeys of vernacular sustainability study program in Vietnam, which actually occurred in the middle of my academic semester, but they still encourage me to go forward with it. The international study tour also make learning a lot more fun. And so many of the professors, take pain taking efforts to make sure that this journey is a smoother same for us. As we go higher of the classes, they begin to treat us like friends and they encourage us to approach them whenever, however, in whatever circumstances we are. And I am so grateful for that. And I think I will only continue to express my gratitude in the future, and I will leave the rest of it to my graduation speech on my graduation day. Thank you. read more
