Hi. Welcome to episode 12. I’m your host Noel Woodward and this is For The Love Of.

Before I get into the episode. I’d just like to announce that This is the season finale and I’ll be taking a break to work on the Season 3 and another audio project that is in the pipeline. Super excited about it and more on this as I continue developing it.

In the meantime, I will be working on bonus episodes every month. To stay in the know do remember to click that bell icon or follow us on your favourite podcast app.

Also, the podcast turned a year old last week. It’s been an incredible journey so far and Season 2 has surprised me in more ways than one. So a big thank you to all my listeners for tuning in and supporting the show. It really means a lot. If you’ve got thoughts/ideas/comments you could send in an email to [email protected] or you could do me a solid by leaving a Review on Apple Podcasts and tell me what you think of the show!

For The Love of Design | Talking Practice with Sachin Ambekar (Part I)

This time around I’ll be talking to a former colleague and a dear friend of mine who has co-founded his own architecture practice, in Gujarat. We’ll be discussing his time at architecture school, his post-graduation at CEPT University, a Scholarship to Switzerland, Design Education in the country and the rigours of architecture as a discipline.

A gold medallist at Gujarat University and a CEPT scholar, Sachin is passionately devoted to architecture and design theories. The inter-disciplinary collaboration between design, craft & technology enthrals him. By exploring how the different agents interact, he hopes to discover a new perspective to better problem-solving.

After working at Studio PKA, Mumbai, Sachin decided to branch out and start his own practice – SS Design Studio - with his partner Sanjana Samel, with a keen focus on adapting a multi-disciplinary approach to architecture and design.
