Discover the city of Jaipur, Rajasthans capital. Founded on the
XVIII century by the Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh and planned according
to Indian Vastu Shastra, in a grid system and uniformly rose pink
buildings. Jaipur is a melting pot of Rajput, Mughal and several
other cultures and is also the seat of a generous amount of
vernacular tradition. Even also the Pink City has retained its
unique flavor and old world charm; the visitor will also find a
contemporary architecture infusing new forms with the legacy of the
past and the spirit of place. The authors, Sanjeev Vidyarthi and
Pratiksha Singh growing up in several different regions of India,
studied together at the Sir JJ School of Architecture in Mumbai.
They moved to the city of Jaipur in 1991 seeking work after
graduation. Marrying shortly afterwards, they partied hard while
working harder over the next decade or so. Between the two, they
accomplished a lot including the foundational work around the
establishment of Jaipur’s leading design practice of the time,
and the simultaneous conception and building of Rajasthan state’s
first school of architecture, even while finding the time to pursue
the vocation of teaching.
