FOUNDER PRINCIPAL
Suneet Mohindru, an architect by education and an educator by passion, founded ‘Oracles’ and has been managing this multidisciplinary design practice with a view to amalgamate intense theoretical background and passionate rigour. Its foundations lay in its vision as an organisation that would not only serve its patrons to deliver highest standards of professional work but also provide a fertile ground to foster aspiring individuals to develop and contribute collectively to the profession.
Having graduated in architecture from ‘School of Planning and Architecture’, New Delhi, Suneet completed his Masters in Landscape Architecture from the same institute, bagging proficiency awards and gold medals for academic excellence for both the courses. A fellowship from the Charles Wallace Trust took him to ‘De Montfort University’ in the UK for furthering his theoretical backing and hands-on experience in conservation of historical landscape precincts.
He has pursued this as an academic interest and developed a detailed framework for documenting heritage sites and their settings. This research was published after a paper presentation at the XIII ICOMOS General Assembly in Madrid, Spain.
His work and interests have seen him travel though the globe and acquire extensive exposure while also establishing strong collaborative bonds with leading international practices. He has constantly endeavoured to use his consultancy practice to polish his own skills and engage in innovating responsive and responsible design ideas towards creating stimulating living and working environments. His key competence lies in site planning and urbanism, conceptualising master-plans with landscape as a structuring tool, architecture and landscape design, context assessment, construction methods and technology.
Academics and writing are Suneet’s strong parallel pursuits. He has been associated with several institutes as a visiting professor, advisor and juror. Architectural theory, history, design thinking, cultural landscape, open spaces associated with learning environments and hill architecture have been his areas of interest. Apart from being an active member in the studio design teams, he delivered lecture series for the graduate students in the Department of Landscape Architecture on ‘Theory of Landscape Architecture’. He also leads the studios and lectures for ‘Site planning’ at the Department of Urban Design.
