In this episode of Design and Dialogues, I sit down with architect Vipul Singh, co-founder of Design Accord, to talk about everything from mall culture to soul-driven design, the challenges of commercial real estate, and what the future of Indian architecture looks like.

With 24+ years in the industry, Vipul shares his journey from starting Design Accord with sheer determination, to designing for names like Tata Steel and working on international projects in Mauritius and Bali.

💡 Topics we cover:

– The soul vs. body of design

– Residential projects vs Commercial projects

– How to design spaces people want to stay in

– Mall design failures vs. successes

– Trends shaping Indian architecture

– What Tier 2 & 3 cities are doing better than metros

– Sustainability, rainwater harvesting & passive cooling

If you're an architect, interior designer, builder, or just someone who loves smart design—this episode is for you.
