ABOUT THE ARCHITECT:
‘I have no special talents; I am only passionately curious.’
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 JJ College of Architecture, Mumbai, Sanjay returned to his hometown in the year 1981 to immerse himself into a meaningful and sensitive architectural practice. Over the years, Sanjay Patil has received many honours from the industry and his projects have been widely published in architectural journals. His greatest reward however continues to be the appreciation and support of his numerous clients who have played a vital role in his approach to architecture. His workspace ‘Environ Planners’ has also evolved into a centre for learning; inspiring, training and providing roots and wings to budding architects from various parts of the country.
ARCHITECT’S PERSPECTIVE ON THE BOOK:
“Knowledge sharing is integral to me and has always given me great pleasure and satisfaction. I have always made a conscious effort to share with others the little bit that I have learnt through my work, travel and other hobbies. This book ‘Nesting in Nature’ is just an extension of this love for sharing; a humble effort to document some of my works across the last three decades and present it to a wider audience. It is an honest endeavour to make the reader a part of the design process and my passion for my work that is so much a part of my being.”
