About
Creative Forum is a Bangalore based Architecture & Design Studio, Specializing in Bamboo Wood Architecture. Creative Forum was established by Architect Parikshit Dalal and Mr. Prashanth Srinivas in 2024.
Creative Forum conceives and executes real-time opportunities to create Holistic built environments. We also have expertise in Engineered Bamboowood Architecture, currently building India’s first Institutional, Commercial and Hospitality projects in 100% Engineered Bamboowood.
Our practice
In the current scenario where Architecture and Urban Design seem to have been reduced to a play of abstract numbers, many a time catering to the lowest common denominator of aesthetic sensibilities.
We seek to infuse into our built environments a sense of spatial richness, environmentally relevant design and sound construction techniques. The carrying forward of our indigenous tropical architecture in a modern and creative way is our design philosophy, backed by the significant experience we as a team bring to the field.
