Today on episode #003 we have Ar. Veeram Shah- the founder of “Design ni  Dukaan” and the co-founder of POD and DOTTO- graduated from the Marathwada Mitra Mandal College of Architecture in Pune.

Well, we have a lot of Dukaans around us- kirana ki dukaan, dawai ki dukaan, hardware ki dukaan.. But have you thought of the concept of a Design ki dukaan ??? YES! This practice-based in Ahmedabad, founded by Ar. Veeram Shah- Design ni Dukaan- is literally a shop of Design! A fabulous treasure of Design ideas, electrifying design projects, Art, Architecture, Furniture, Accessories and whatnot!

His practice focuses on the concept of 'design' in totality and without distinction. With a very informal structure of the practice that collaborates with artists and thinkers of different fields, they try their hands at different scales of designs ranging from architecture to furniture to jewellery.

His other ventures where he is a co-founder are a little more formal. POD- Pieces of Desire is an award-winning Furniture design label that has amazing and elegant collections with consideration to aesthetics, craftsmanship and affordability, perfectly synced together.

DOTTO- Objects of Curiosity, his another venture where he is a co-founder works on a unique design language with objects that seamlessly blends intangible ideas into functional products.

So let's take a stroll in this Design ni Dukaan, with the Dukaandaar himself- Ar. Veeram Shah. Don’t forget to carry the cart of your heart and soul to listen to the narratives by this young and Dynamic Architect- and fill your cart with the take-aways.

Today on episode #003 we have Ar. Habeeb Khan with us. He graduated in architecture as a gold medalist from VNIT (formerly VRCE) in 1987 and went to the USA, where he completed his masters in architectural design in 1988 from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

Architect Habeeb Khan was awarded the JIIA best interior design award by the Indian Institute of Architects in 1998 and IIA-KAFF young architect award in 2000. He was also presented with the Orange City Achievement award in 2009 and the State level award for excellence in the architectural profession and education by the IIA Maharashtra Chapter in 2011 and the prestigious INBAU Excellence Award in 2018. Their firm Smita & Habeeb Khan Architects is known for work, which derives inspiration from vernacular and traditional principles. The term “contemporary vernacular” was coined by them in 2009 and it has become the underlying philosophy of all their works.

He has been a major driving force for uplifting the quality of education in central India and has involved in teaching since the beginning of his career.

Standing tall as the President of the Council of Architecture today, I am humbled to welcome him to the Big Design show !!
