Nesting in Nature

Sanjay Patil's tryst with architecture began in his early childhood as he soaked up the environs that surrounded him in his birthplace, Nashik. Moving on to formal education in architecture at the Sir J.J. College of Architecture, Mumbai, Sanjay returned to his hometown in the year 1981 to immerse himself into a meaningful and sensitive architectural practice. The book is an attempt to chronicle the architect's journey and delve deeper into his philosophy towards architecture and life, his love for nature and his commitment to architecture. Our journey thus encompasses influences from vernacular architecture, his leaning towards sustainable design, response to nature and his diverse use of courtyards in varying building typologies. It showcases 19 noteworthy projects, which include private residences, restoration projects, educational institutions, resorts and retreats, office spaces including his own workspace and farmhouse.
