Madhav Joshi, an architect from BKPS College of Architecture, Pune and an Urban Planner from IIT Kharagpur, heads Madhav Joshi and Associates, which he established in Pune in 1998. The studio is a hub of architectural creativity, designing projects that explore new frontiers of contextual modernism as a consciously adopted approach rather than a style. The firm is reputed for its unique architectural portfolio with projects ranging from hotels to high end residences, housing, IT and corporate offices to institutional campuses. The firm also undertakes master-planning and urban design projects. Run by passionate designers, the studio specializes in avant-garde minimalistic design and is known for the discerning choice of projects it undertakes and the intensity with which it works on them to the last detail.

Madhav Joshi’s inspirations of architecture can be often traced back to his native place Wai, a temple town on the banks or river Krishna. His architecture is austere in expression yet rich in experience, straight forward in approach yet profound in meaning and international in spirit yet rooted in its context.
