New Book Release by Our Esteemed Alumnus, Dr. Shivaji
We are proud to share that our alumnus Dr. Shivaji has authored an important new book titled:
Indigenous Architecture of Northeast India: Form, Meaning, and Adaptation
An Amalgamation of Culture, Climate, Craft, and Digital Technologies
This book documents and analyzes the rich indigenous architectural systems of Northeast India—making their knowledge accessible to students, architects, researchers, and curious learners.
Far from being static relics, these systems represent vibrant and dynamic relationships between materials, construction techniques, climate, site, culture, and community, offering valuable insights for contemporary architectural practice.
We congratulate Dr. Shivaji on this remarkable contribution and proudly celebrate his achievements as a distinguished alumnus of the Faculty of Architecture and Planning, AKTU.
