In March 2026, students from the Parul Institute of Design visited Architecture BRIO during the Parul Institute of Design Mumbai Industry Tour to meet co-founder Robert Verrijt. A Dutch architect trained at Delft University of Technology who arrived in India in 1999 for an Ahmedabad school project and settled permanently in Mumbai in 2006, Robert Verrijt founded Architecture BRIO with his partner Shefali Balwani and now leads a fifty-person studio that designs across India’s many climates, collaborates on the Billion Bricks shelter project to address the country’s twenty-million rural-housing need, and was profoundly influenced by the work of the late Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa. The session covered the 2000 Gujarat earthquake that reshaped his philosophy, the discipline of designing with local materials, the regret of leaving his mentor’s office too early, his critique of design education’s individuality fetish, a demountable studio in Alibag built to migrate as sea levels rise, the Billion Bricks Lego-style concrete-brick shelter with solar-park-on-roof solution, and why hand sketching with pen and paper will remain a permanent human skill.

The eleven Delhi Architecture Tour sessions, mapped one by one to the specific programmes at Parul Institute of Architecture that prepare students for the careers each session represented. From B.Arch as the entry pathway to M.Arch in Urban Design as the specialisation route, the full programme landscape laid out.

The regulatory and academic spine of Indian architecture met Parul Institute of Architecture students during the Delhi Tour. The Council of Architecture on the profession’s rules. The New Delhi Municipal Corporation on the practice of urban management in the Lutyens’ Bungalow Zone. SPA Delhi on how architects are educated in India.

Two sessions at opposite ends of the architecture profession met Parul Institute of Architecture students in Delhi. INTACH on thirty years of heritage restoration, materials analysis across timelines, and water-bank cultural identity. AFCONS on Delhi Metro alignment, the Chenab Bridge, and the integration of MEP systems with structural architecture.

Three of India’s most respected architecture firms hosted Parul Institute of Architecture students during the Delhi Tour. Studio Lotus on 300+ projects with zero design repetition. Morphogenesis on the SOUL framework for sustainable design at scale. Anagram Architects on the climate-culture intersection and 12 designs across 120 sites.

Dr. Ajit Pai, Chairman of the Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC), spent his session with Parul Institute of Architecture students moving from aesthetics as a cultural framework to the political economy of Indian cities to the genuine warning that AI in architecture could either elevate the ceiling of design or lower the floor of human effort.

Ar. Rajesh Satish, Managing Head at the Center of Science and Excellence, opened his session with Parul Institute of Architecture students by rejecting modern glass boxes, walking through the American Embassy resource conservation project, and arguing that the most useful piece of advice in architecture is ungoogleable: sit on the empty land before you draw a single line.

Mr. Gurmeet Singh Chauhan, Founder of Design Forum International (DFI), opened the Parul Institute of Architecture Delhi tour with a session that ran from sketching as a discipline to environmental psychology to the master plan of New Delhi to the technical use of voids and shadows. The discipline-defining principle: innovation does not require disruption.

From 24 to 27 March 2026, students of Parul Institute of Architecture met 11 architects, urban planners, government chairmen, and construction leaders across Delhi. The tour covered Design Forum International, the Delhi Urban Art Commission, the Council of Architecture, INTACH, AFCONS, Studio Lotus, Morphogenesis, Anagram Architects, the New Delhi Municipal Corporation, and the School of Planning and Architecture.
