About

Manit Rastogi commenced his architecture studies at the School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, then went on to the Architectural Association. He graduated with distinction from the Sustainable Environmental Design program under Simos Yannas and subsequently the AA Diploma with Honours, under John Frazer. The influence of all three programs has formulated and influenced his thinking to date, to create a sustainable architecture through the framework of an evolutionary practice inspired by nature, emphasizing passive design.

He is a leading speaker in Sustainable design and has lectured at numerous reputed universities and Conferences globally.

Manit has always been committed to designing habitats that comprehensively address the sensitive relationship between man and environment while responding to issues unique to the region’s economics, sociology, history, and diversity within the broader philosophy of environmental protection and rejuvenation. As the founder member of The GRIHA Council, India’s own Green rating system, Manit also works actively with urban policymakers to spearhead initiatives that emphasize environmental and socio-cultural sustainability.
