In this episode, we engage in a discussion with Architect Shubham Ray a graduate of Sir J.J. College of Architecture. After practicing and traveling, he now works full-time as a junior architect at the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives in Ladakh.

Join us as we explore the development of architectural practices in extreme climates, along with innovative approaches to preserve both ecology and socio-cultural identity in the space.

We'll jump head-first into the work scope, process, and the changes resulting from transitioning from Mumbai to the Himalayan region. The conversation will also cover material choices and construction challenges related to climate, availability, and the unique considerations for army shelters along the line of control.
