At Avani, nature is not something architecture turns away from. It becomes part of how spaces are imagined, built, and experienced.

In this conversation, Vinod Cyriac reflects on the relationship between the built environment and the ecological realities around us, and why climate consciousness needs to be part of how the next generation thinks about design.

Understanding a place also means understanding what it asks us to protect.

A design education is not only about preparing for a profession. It is about shaping the way you see, question, and create.

For Ashif Salim, B.Arch 2015–2020, his journey at Avani became a foundation for exploring beyond conventional paths, allowing architecture to connect with branding, cinema, visual communication, and creative direction.

From his early days of discovering his own design voice to working across disciplines today, Ashif’s journey reflects how curiosity and a willingness to explore can open new possibilities.

Avani continues to be a space where students are encouraged to look beyond one definition of design and discover the many ways they can contribute to the world.

An exhibition takes shape long before the first visitor walks in.

From arranging spaces and placing works to the final details, every step is a process of planning, collaboration, and making.

A glimpse behind the scenes of how the Annual Exhibition came together, one detail at a time.

Semester V B.Arch students of Avani Institute of Design undertook a study tour to Panjim, Goa, exploring the city through its many urban layers.

From the heritage character of Fontainhas to the contemporary condition of the C*D, the tour looked at how history, ecology, infrastructure, people, and public life shape the city.

Visits to the National Institute of Water Sports, Houses of Goa Museum, and interactions with Ar. Ruturaj Parikh and Prof. Vishvesh Kandolkar further opened up ways of reading architecture through place, practice, and lived experience.

Recognition is only one part of a student’s journey.

What stays longer is the learning, the questions, the studio conversations, and the ways of seeing that slowly take shape through their time at Avani.

As these students speak about their experiences and the road ahead, their answers reflect how education can prepare them not just for a profession, but for a thoughtful practice.

A learning space shapes more than skill. It shapes how students see, question, and respond to the world around them.

In this conversation, Murali Cheeroth reflects on Avani as an institution and the role it plays in nurturing students through exposure, inquiry, practice, and a deeper engagement with art, architecture, and society.

His words offer a thoughtful reminder of what education can become when it gives students the space to grow with awareness and purpose.

Some teachers leave behind lessons that continue long after the classroom.

B.V. Doshi taught generations to see architecture as more than buildings: as life, memory, community, and care.

On his birth anniversary, we remember not only the architect, but the teacher whose way of seeing continues to guide how we think, learn, and design.

Between welcoming a new batch and celebrating one that is stepping forward, the campus held many quiet moments in motion.

Looking back at the behind-the-scenes of Disha, Ameyam and Exhibition: the preparations, conversations, familiar faces, new beginnings, and shared pauses that shaped the day.

A glimpse of Avani as it moved between two important moments: arrival and departure, beginning and becoming.
