Learning Architecture Through Practice | Rajesh Renganathan | Elev8 Ahmedabad 2026

In this keynote at ELEV8 Architecture & Design Festival 2026, Rajesh Renganathan, Principal Architect at Flying Elephant Studio, reflects on decades of architectural practice and the lessons that continue to shape his work. Through projects spanning educational campuses, public institutions, residential developments, and community spaces, he explores how architecture must respond to context, climate, landscape, and human experience. Rather than treating buildings as isolated objects, Rajesh shares how design becomes meaningful through observation, collaboration, and a deep understanding of place. This session offers valuable insights into creating architecture that is timeless, adaptable, and deeply connected to its environment. It demonstrates how thoughtful design can strengthen communities while celebrating nature, local identity, and the evolving relationship between people and place. #Elev8 https://www.elev8india.com/   / elev8.india   #Rajeshrenganathan   / flyingelephantstudio   #TheArchitectsDiary https://thearchitectsdiary.com/   / thearchitectsdiaryin
