Sachin Bandukwala co-founded BandukSmith Studio in 2011. Before founding BandukSmith, he worked as an independent architect in Ahmedabad, and also documented a number of architecturally significant temple complexes and stepwells around western India. Throughout his career he has explored the subject of the person and his inspiration from nature. He is perpetually in pursuit of understanding through observation the aging of material and its effect on tectonics, and the institutionalization of rituals in architecture. Sachin holds a B.Arch from CEPT University.
