what OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY

Ar. Kunal D. Angane

BATCH OF 2013

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.

Ar. Resham Makhija

Batch of 2014

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.

Ar. Amit Nambiar

Batch of 2014

Hi. I am Amit, I work as a computational designer. I did my undergrad in architecture from L.S.Raheja School of Architecture. I passed out in the year 2014. I really enjoyed the time that I spent in my college over there, but it was a good mix of which allowed all of us to explore different aspects of academia, of practicing architecture, about pursuing your interests in extracurricular activities and also exploring life as a student in college. ... 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.

Ar. Prachi Kadam

Batch of 2020

Hi, my name is Prachi Kadam, I am a 5th year student in L.S. Raheja School of Architecture. When I started this course. I wasn't really sure what to expect from it since it's such a vast field, however, four years down the line, I've come to realize that my college and my teachers play a very important role in providing us with the necessary, theoretical knowledge and practical exposure that's needed to explore this field. ... Our college also has given us the opportunity to be a part of various workshops and also national competitions like NASA, these platforms have helped shape us and us as an individual. Right now during the global pandemic our college is taking immense efforts to make college and online lectures enjoyable. That's the best part of our college: it always pushes you further and helps you grow. Right now this is my last year of architecture, which makes me sad that it is my last year.However I hope I am able to implement what I have learnt so far in years to come….

I have seen a constant growth in myself and the interest that I have in pursuing architecture. The fact that the college gives the students a platform to portray their talents beyond academics every year through the Annual festival; has played a major role in the development that I see in myself and my fellow mates. ... It just makes this five years journey a lot more interesting.

Ar. Arushka Shastry

Academic Year 2020-21 (T.Y..B’Arch)

Hi, I'm Arushka Shastry, a third year architecture student at L.S. Raheja School of Architecture. As a student here, I've seen myself learn and grow with the constant motivation from our faculty who keep inspiring us to bring out our best. We've all had the opportunity to explore our talents here in various fields, during events in workshops, held all around the year and our annual first Aakar, where we get to showcase them. ... With the mix of extracurriculars and academics, the work environment here keeps us determined. We are also given exposure to architecture around the country and the world through scheduled domestic and international study tours. The professors here have always made sure that we believe in ourselves and our work. Despite a global pandemic and a national lockdown, they made sure mics don't get affected by it and helped us get through these tough times. We are very lucky to have them and be a part of this.

Ar. Shreya Rangaraj

Academic Year 2020-21 (T.Y..B’Arch)

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. The platforms offered to develop ourselves as individuals and the timely support and guidance of our faculties and the consistent effort in trying to bring out the best in each one of us.

Ar. Shazneen

Academic Year 2020-21 (T.Y..B’Arch)

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.

Ar. Spurty Kamat

Academic Year 2020-21 (S.Y..B’Arch)

Hi, I'm Spurty Kamat from the second year of architecture at L.S. Raheja School of Architecture. I'm glad to be a part of this institute because it's much more than just an education institution. It is a family where all the seniors and faculties are always looking out for you. The college not only aims to raise us as good architects, but also as good human beings by giving equal importance towards our holistic development. ... During a college Fest, a large number of cultural and sporting events along with a number of talks and workshops are organized for us to display as well as discover our own individual talents. Even during the pandemic situation, the faculty ensured that our academics are not affected. We are so lucky to be a part of this Institute and be cared for so well.

Ar. Tanvi Pagare

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.
